Damn this one was so cool, I'm surprised that it hasn't gotten more attention yet ! (vague spoilers from now on)

 The art style is lovely, both Daria and Aconia are absolutely gorgeous sdjijifdjdj, there are a lot of 'simple' but very creative CG's. I fucking love the parallel between the CG of their sex scene and that one other scene, such a nice and disturbing touch !!

I'm not the biggest fan of body horror, especially very detailed and realistic depictions. But, while still disturbing, I think Abiogenesis is just graphic enough to be uncomfortable without being genuinely distressing to read (for me at least). Glad we didn't see that poor rat tho TwT. 

If I have one small complaint it's that the beginning did feel a bit long, which is unfortunate because as soon as the conflict gets started I was hooked. On the other hand though, I'm aware that having to convey the progression of a relationship like this one with a short VN is a nightmarish task, so it'd make sense to want to spend a big enough fraction of the game seeing their relationship evolve before the 'Toxic yuri' truly starts. Seeing that short period of peace and joy that Daria finally found, be taken away from her so quickly was really tragic. 

Such a great entry overall and everything I wanted to see from a game for the TYVNjam ! 

Such a lovely entry ! (vague spoilers warning btw) 

The surprisingly wholesome relationship between the two leads made me dread that some horrible reveal about one of them might happen any time (which it kinda did technically, but it was not what I expected) before I realized that the 'toxic yuri couple' was actually not the main one ! This is, strangely enough, not something I've seen happen in any entry for either of the two TYVNjam so far and I couldn't be happier ! This was a nice break from the the other much more directly darker entries, while at the same time still being very tragic in its own way. That ending hurt, but was also strangely hopeful ? I certainly would like to believe that in the end everything went well and they stayed happy together x)

And I loved the oppostion between Valerie's logic-centered understanding of her feelings and issues, with Penelope much more poetic vision of things. Making them poetry and psychology professors was a neat choice x)

I'm really glad you liked the fanart <3 I haven't posted it anywhere yet but could if you wanted to ! Just lmk which account to tag ^^ And you're totally free to repost it on your own platforms btw ! I don't use any socials with an algorithm anymore so totally okay with any gift art I make being reposted as long as I'm credited in some way :3 

I suppose this is kinda inevitable when dealing with disturbing themes haha, but I'm always in support of pushing taboo in art. ANd I think it was done very well here !

Slugshake actually left a comment on my VN's page btw, I just haven't responded to any of them yet since being complimented on my work like this makes me a bit nervous TwT it meant a lot tho ! 

The UI and art looks amazing and while there’s not much I can say about the writing due to how short this demo was, it looks really promising ! Good luck with this project !

It’s so nice seeing some butch furry rep, these designs are so lovely !!

A very difficult read, even for someone who can normally handle disturbing themes just fine, but I’m glad I finished it because of how good it was ! I especially love the writing style, I think you did a great job conveying the horror of what the two went through by describing it from the perception of a naive child. It hurts to read, but damn it was effective.

Also, I don’t know if this was intended or not, but the fact Ari and Indi are the only two characters whose face can be seen is a nice touch.

I would absolutely recommend this VN to anyone who can handle themes like this !

Hiya, I just released a FVN for the Toxic Yuri VN jam in which all music  I used is yours ! https://r4wry.itch.io/dogs-dont-think-about-death

I also wanted to thank you for your incredible work ! Not only did your music significantly helped set the ambiance of my VN, but in some cases it has directly influenced the mood and imagery of some scenes (most notably the nightmare sequences) !! So thank you so much for what you do for the FVN community and for helping me create my first VN, in a way 💙.

On one hand I’m sad at how short this VN because I’d love to see more, but on the other I think it’s perfect that way ^^ there’s so much neat details and great characterization going on there despite how short it is. 

You also did an amazing job recreating the way current AI’s talk, especially how non-confrontational they are ! From what I’ve seen, writers tend to represent AI’s as being super intelligent and manipulative (in a very human way). So it’s really nice seeing a depiction where the AI is closer to these weird empty husks who agree with everything you say and do, that they are in real life. 

Such a well written VN with a great presentation too ! 

As far as I'm aware, it's on hiatus while they're working on Khemia.
