Thank you for making this. Thank you for opening your heart and speaking out and dredging up a piece of your experience that, frankly, you didn't have to. You didn't owe us that vulnerability & you let us see, anyway.

Sincerely,
Someone else that wanted to see some real depictions of suicidal ideation. That understood it.
Stay safe.
I have always had a deep appreciation of your games and this one is another good one... HOWEVER, this is the first time I've ever hit a trigger that afaik was only mentioned in this page's content warnings (second from the last, Mel, if you're curious). Which is a bummer. I don't usually check them because I don't want major spoilers and I have very few triggers anyways. Unfortunate that one kind of blindsided me in this case lol.
Technically nothing wrong was done because--as mentioned before--it was mentioned in the content warnings on this page, but part of me wishes that there was a more visible trigger warning placed where I would have found it more readily.
SPOILERY CLARIFICATION BELOW
--------------------------------------------------------
Animal death was mentioned in a separate un-collapsed area above the extended content warnings. Making the distinction between human death (which is unclear and I assumed adult since that's standard for horror experiences) and specifically CHILD death would have been much appreciated. I have young children and just the thought of harm coming to any child is very difficult to deal with. If there WAS a more clear content warning placed in the game itself that I missed, please let me know.
All that aside, I'm a big fan of your works and I wish you the best! Have a lovely day!
Actually obsessed with this!!
The pacing is excellent, have you written short stories in the past? Truly, the story felt like it moved at juuuuuuuuust the right speed. :)
I want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT TO THE VOICE ACTORS, too!! They really brought the characters to life and made them both feel like real people. You definitely chose the right people for the job. Also I must have skipped over the bullet point where you mentioned that it was fully voiced; when Raku first spoke, I jumped hahaldasfj
I can tell you put a lot of love into this project, Chattercap, and I'm so happy you shared it with us!! also I really love yandere men 10/10 thank u for that
Hi! The original commentor might be referring to the itch.io application. You can download and run the game that way, but saves are broken for me, too, if I do. I imagine there IS a fix, since I've played quite a bit of IF through the itch app without issue, but I'm not sure what it is. Sorry for not having a better idea about what to do, but I hope letting you know might help a little bit? Either way, love the story!!
This game was such a gem! Really, thank you so much for making a game where the main female character is empowered and makes her own way despite traditional gender roles. I'm glad to see a love interest that doesn't resent this, or her, and is able to fill in and be comfortable where he is. It's truly refreshing, I'll be keeping an eye out for more!
Oh man, I'm extremely excited to see more to come! Yandere characters are my guilty pleasure (a bit of toxic obsessiveness, as a treat, yk? haha) and the demo was the perfect balance of intrigue and spookiness. I'm enjoying the art style as well, the characters look lovely. The UI/Menu font might be a bit hard for some (particularly those with dyslexia) to read, though. Excellent work, I'll be keeping an eye on this project! :)
I was really pleasantly surprised by this game!
I hadn't seen much of the promotional material, demos, or anything like that for this particular otome, so I downloaded the game without really any expectations at all. Actually, upon discovery that you couldn't change the protagonist's first name, I almost immediately uninstalled it again right then and there, haha—turns out, I really like to be able to choose the MC's name, which I didn't realize until this instance that this was the case since it's usually an option by default—but I decided to continue and I'm glad I did.
I enjoyed the pacing of each route and that the MC took her time to get to know each person. That each LI had a bit more dimension and you didn't discover what was "unique" about them right away was a breath of fresh air. I especially appreciated that each route wasn't the end-all be-all when it comes to getting to know the characters; most of them were friends or acquaintances with each other, so it makes sense that little tidbits of information about them would be revealed even if they weren't the ones being currently romanced. Sometimes each character feels like their own "island" in otome games; you discover absolutely nothing about them outside of their own route. The fact that this one is different is a great move.
All-in-all, I think that this game was absolutely lovely. The developer clearly put a lot of time and effort into this (free!) game and I'm absolutely so glad that they did. I still think that being able to change the protagonist's name would have been a great addition; I didn't think that her first name being Aya was so integral to the plot that it really needs to be the only choice, and some players (like me, apparently) are really attached to being able to name the characters when we play these kinds of games. At the end of the day though, that sort of decision is up to the developer and doesn't at all detract from what makes this game a pleasant experience. Excellent work! ♡
I've played the OG version of the game a couple times, as well as the new version. It's one of my absolute favorites, so I'm sliding in here to leave a comment for you!
Thank you so much for making this game! I'm planning on making my own game, myself, and Nusantara is one of the games that encouraged me to give it a try! :)
