thanx mane ^_^ don't know why yu tagged it as such in the first place

ohhhhhh ight that's fair, ye i guess that could be why, but again tho non-erotic games with suggestive character designs like this have been published here before n nobody batted an eye. it's a strange situation 2 be in

2 my knowledge nsfw gamez are allowed by itch.io guidelinez zo it couldn't be that imo

yes, there are suggestive character designs, but a lot of triple a game dev companies utilize them subconsciously. suggestive character designs don't mean that a game is a erotic/pornographic one. 

don't take this as basement dweller/incel/redpill/alt-right rhetoric, i have no interest in trying 2 save games from healthy explorations of identity n sexuality, but it is baffling to me how you can label this an erotic game when the only thing thats erotic about it, imo, is the character designs. 

imo it's like calling an rpg game an action game just because it has gunfighting. while, yes, gunfighting is a feature in a lot of action titles, it's not an inherent quality in the action genre, and it doesn't mean that the rpg in question is an action title. 

am i bugging? maybe i'm missing something or wasting my time here, but if you label this an erotic game, when the only thing erotic about it is the character designs, and you yourself don't see it as a pornographic/erotic game, then why are you labelling it that? 

ye dw. btw i don't think yu hate lesbians or lgbt people in gen. i just think that when writing lgbt people that just happen to be bad people, we shouldn't be quick to use stereotypes n stuf. 

imo the writing on this is too simplistic n lacking depth for me to be invested. i get yu want to avoid purple prose, but this dialogue reads like one ov those stock image myon books yu read in middle school

the lesbophobia isn't helping, either. (theres a part that stereotypes lesbians as man-haters. i get that ozaki studios aren't/isn't a lesbophobe, n that it was probably juz bad wording n characterization but we gotta watch out for bigotry in game developers namsayin?)

ye, no problem mane. i also wanna congratulate yu on finding yourself n stuf, as a transfem artist myself :3 finding out that i wasn't a man was probably one of the things that saved my life

no fucking way dude. no fucking way you're chriddof lmao. (i'm transfem myself, so this is more in surprise than like negativity)

g you're one of my childhood heroes when it comes to weird shit. i used to watch your vids as a kid thinking that no actual human could make this. salute to yu mane

this is an outsider game, the same way that henry darger is outsider art.

not really my thing tbh. i do think the handling of dark topics here is really safe n boring

it's interesting tho, n i'm excited to see something like this in a more conceptually flawlessly executed direction

oh obviously good

what does liking the chairman ov the board n melodramas have to do with the whole story? why did yu put it in the description? is it an overarching theme or something? is it like subconscious?

you should fix that "The game is short, it has 5 endings." alignment. its aligned kinda weirdly

title sounds like some shit supreme clientele era ghostface killah would come up with

ong bro. these kind of calarts game devs are lame as fuck. sorry people are hating on you

looks like someone hasn't read tender frog house

YOUR PRAYERS ARE BEGINNING TO BE ANSWERED. I'M DOING A SCREENPLAY ADAPTATION FOR ADASTRA

this happened to my best friend nick mullen

hi nick mullen, i'm a huge fan of your work dude it means a lot that you're here

i didn't say that

>ai art is based upon theft

most of it is but not all of it. that sounds like an anti-sampling argument tbh. 

you should reject copyright n intellectual property not reinforce it.

anyway ye not really compelling designs for billboards. 

i personally am not affected by chud rhetoric but you took mark fishers name and vandalized it with idpol n neoliberalism. it reeks of reinforcement, since all attempts at anti-capitalism would be eventually subsumed into capitalism.

if yall truly want to destroy capitalism, culture jam. make your beliefs nonsensical. boredom is counterrevolutionary.

this is the greatest pro-life ad ever conceived. 

in all seriousness though, this was an interesting and dark interpretation of childbirth that didn't feel edgelordy. the gut-wrenching descriptions of a baby trapped in their mothers body was fucked, and that made it even better.

no worries ^^ i mean i guess yu could make a new version with english puns, but that would take a lot of work probablyy

1. i'm not saying yo have to spend fucking days laboring over a single game. i'm not saaying that you have to be jon brion. i'm just saying: you should make the soundtrack not just the same theme repeated over and over again.

2. reviews shouldn't be only positive. i think that game developers should learn how to take constructive/negative critique, because it can help them grow as creatives. as long as they're civil, it's good critique.

a game with a trolly premise taken seriously, with a plot where nothing but the act of catching fireflies and then going home happens.

like. nothing happened. i was half-expecting dr doofenshmirtz to come along and fuck shit up, but i've seen both this and the fanfic that it was based off of: it's just uneventful. like that's not inherently bad, i like a lot of uneventful games, The Longing being an example of one. however, this was just... boring. It reminded me of Gerry, a movie where two dudes lost in a desert wander aimlessly for most of the time. 

Catching Fireflies is the Gerry of visual novels.

plus like, i was expecting this game to be stealh satire, like what Nyan Neko Sugar Girls was, but... nah. this was serious. The artstyle, the dialogue adapted into fangame form, etc... No indication of satire was found. The soundtrack was oddly repetitive as well. like i can understand having motifs/lietmotifs, in-fact i'm a huge proponent of that, but it shouldn't be the same theme played in different forms.

no disrespect to the developer by the way, i'm sure they put a lot of effort into it, and i respect that. it's just.. wow.

4/10

Yeah, I don't know why the developer added that 4th wall break in admittedly. Though it WAS interesting.

Hello, Cro here. I borrowed my friend Rob's account because I'm a bit too lazy to make a new one.

This was a pretty faithful adaptation of what I did, but there were some errors. 

1. No, I didn't kill that girls boyfriend and put his remains in a cup and made her drink it. I killed her boyfriend, yes, but the remains were from someone else. I just told her that it WAS her boyfriend to freak her out. And if anyones asking, I spared the girlfriend. She tried to play the hero, trying to take me from my Lee but look where that got her.

2. Lee isn't from Midport. She's from Allen, which is close to Midport and used to be a NEIGHBORHOOD of Midport. 

3. I didn't just cuddle Lee when she fell asleep because of the powder I put in it, I also made out with her. This was a pretty huge mistake to make.

4. No, I've been outside of Border Springs. I used to live in the Bronx (Which is the birthplace of hip-hop) for a time, plus I visit my family in Dayton, Ohio all the time.

Other than that, this was a pretty fun and respectful adaptation of what I did and what I'll do if you ever fuck with my Lee.

can yu make an english version of this in the future?

this was done with an interesting style, and a mysterious arg-like feel to it that didn't feel tryhard nor cling too much to that analog horror type shit. so hats off to you mane.

8/10

this wasn't some cancelling thing. i was genuinely giving out my opinion about the game, and how shipping discourse relates to it. i'ms orry if my intentions were mixed up

why did you delete my civil comment? /nm /gen

that's what i was doing but the pause/focus button didn't work

other than that tho interesting game
