Yayyy happy release!! 🥚

I really loved the vibes of this demo, it’s so cute, the art is so pretty, everyone on the team did amazing work!! Especially you Cat, I know how hard you worked on this and it really paid off here 🫡❤️ The point & click + interactive UI components added a really nice touch! Also those CGs thoo👀 the scene with mystery man COUGH made me switch teams LOL (but the scenes with Eva are also so cute too lolol)

Overall great scaffolding, solid gameplay loop that can be scaled upon and there’s a clear direction here. Nice job and I can’t wait for what’s next to come !!

This was such a beautiful and intriguing demo! From the very start I fell in love with the aesthetic of the UI, backgrounds, and illustrations, it’s all really cohesive and so gorgeously done (like the water ripple in the menu overlay? And the water texture/reflections of the tank?? Amazing!) Not to mention that the character design of the merman is so pretty aaaa🥹🥹

The bits of world building that we can see revolving around the merman’s confinement is super interesting, and I’m really curious to see how the relationship between him and the mc develops down the line, given the communication barrier with the headphones and him trying to “hunt” MC (also him throwing the fish back was so funny LOL). The bad ends were also well executed, I could really feel that sense of dread and regret through the writing and visuals.

Very cool premise and I’m really looking forward to the update— I know you’re going to cook!

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it aaa (despite running into the bad ends TT) I have updated this post with a walkthrough (as a dropdown). :D

Oh man I had such a blast playing through this game! Once again, congrats on finishing Loving Decays, I can tell that you worked hard on this and you have something amazing to show for it :D I love Chao’s new design and all of the illustrations were super nice! The visual direction of the game is so cool and I appreciate a strong theme! (with the flowers, the pink, the speckles 👀)

I’m also blown away by how introspective some of the thoughts of the MC are. It’s not easy to write characters of different walks of life with such depth and detail, but it’s like I’m literally inside the mc’s mind with how expressive your writing is.

I was also kept in suspense for a good chunk of the story, the tonal shifts are so natural and unraveling the mystery had me scouring the different endings while on the edge of my seat for more answers hahaha.

This is a genuine masterpiece, and I’m really looking forward to your future works! (Hehe I also shot you a dm over on Twitter if ur ever interested in collabing someday!)

Thanks for playing!! :D I’m glad you enjoyed the puzzle ❤️ (now to think of another excuse to slot more into the game LOL)

Thank you so much for playing and the really kind words! :D I’m super glad you’re into the new UI hehe (Riven be watching you at all times LOL) I appreciate it! 🥹❤️

Ahhh thank you so much for playing and for such a thoughtful comment!! ❤️🥺 And I appreciate you for exploring the different options and seeing all the outcomes! And I’m glad you’re enjoying Riven too heheh ❤️ definitely hope to develop his character more in the next part!

AAAAA HELLO omg im so happy you enjoyed the new demo (and that you saw all the small variations in writing)!! And what 😭😭 THIS IS SUCH HIGH PRAISE?? That means a lot to me, thank you so much and thanks for waiting for so long. 🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad you’re invested in this little world, I’ll be sure to work hard and do the rest of the game justice 🫡

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review Sesame!! 🥹🥹 I’m super glad you enjoyed Gene’s character <3 I didn’t want to take away too much spotlight from Riven since it is a yandere game after all, but still wanted to provide a different experience for the player. (and indeed must appease the trope gods somehow LOL 🙏) Yeahh I think there was some general confusion with the beginning of the puzzle but

Thank you for playing Sesameee 🥹🥹

Thank you so much for checking out the demo!! :D I’m glad you’re liking the foundation that’s being set up for the later story heheh, albeit there’s not too much after this point but I hope the conclusion is satisfying nonetheless :D I appreciate the support!! (I’ll be sure to set up a walkthrough later on too to avoid the struggle with the puzzles hahah)

Hello! To get the secret ending, you need to choose “Move on” and “Ignore it” after getting both endings first, and there should be something new there :)

Thanks for playing and recording your playthrough!! We’re so glad you like Jason and he shall return someday hehe

I really appreciate you sticking around, means a lot to me <3

Hello! Thank you so much for the sweet comment, it really made my day. :) I ended up getting really busy with life but I am currently working on polishing and extending the demo (and if all goes well have a full release ready this year). The fact im still getting comments to this day, especially ones like yours, gives me a lot of motivation to continue, tysm 🥹❤️

Hello,

We opened a ticket back in August 19th, 2025 regarding the delisting of our demo, Ravenous Hand. It does not contain any NSFW content and has never accepted any payments. We would like to see a follow-up with this. If this could get reviewed and reindexed that would be great, thanks.

Ticket ID: 303715

Thank you Ara!! The support is much appreciated 🥹❤️❤️ I hope you enjoy Something Borrowed and what we have in store for this year hehehe

Congrats to you as well Cat for a super successful year!! 🎉🎉 You are amazing, and we can’t thank you enough for contributing towards the game and supporting us through everything. ❤️

We’re super excited to see what you have cooking for 2026 too aaaa 🔥 (heheh you first👀..spreading the merman agenda)

HII omg that makes us so happy to hear, we appreciate it! We hope you enjoy the game :) (aaaa I need to catch up with your new game as well, it’s also on our backlog!!)

And thank you! Happy Holidays!! ❤️🙏 We’re really excited for your upcoming projects and updates as well :D

Hey, thank you so much for playing our game!! 🙏❤️ We’re so glad you enjoyed Thalia and Sphen’s story (and it really means a lot that you liked the pacing as well !!). We had a lot of super talented and amazing friends working on the character and panel art, it couldn’t have been possible without them. 🥹

This is so sweet🥹🥹🥹🥹 Thank you so much for playing it! It was our first full length game and we were definitely worried about how the writing would be received, so we’re glad it resonated with you.

We were also agonizing over how to get some proper horror through, so we’re happy you liked that too!

Kingsley is one of our favs as well! But of course Sphen the turd will always have a special place in our hearts💕 Writing his lines brought us great joy🫶

SPOOK IS FOREVER👻

Thank youuu🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 and also thanks for helping us so much with this game, we couldn’t have done it without you🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Also we genuinely couldn’t think of something better to replace the pookie line so it simply had to go in LOLLL.

TYSM for the high praise!! Thank you for playing to the end, we’re really glad you liked it! 🫶 (omg the hercule mention toooo, we are honored)🥹

Hope you like it🫡

👁️👁️yesh🫶

Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words❤️❤️ I will definitely be considering Steam as an alternative if the game stays delisted here, I did hear that they’re already blocking devs attempts at uploading NSFW DLC and Early Access 🥲, so im unsure how my game would do in the review process but i can certainly try 🤞🤞🤞

AHH tysm Yuno!! We’re so happy that you enjoyed the game ahh what an honor 🥹❤️❤️ It was indeed tough for Angel but at least you were able to get the last ending YAY 🙌 In the future we’re hoping to expand more on this universe and the characters heheh ty again for playinggg 😼

WOW. What I thought would just be some quick nightly gaming before bed turned into me staying up all night, replaying it multiple times and consuming every bit of dialogue and lore I could get my hands on (totally worth it). That’s just how good it was!!

What really stood out to me is that rather than just telling a story, you created a really immersive world that I felt like I was dropped into as the player. The point-and-click mechanics did a really good job of solidifying that, and the game felt really dimensional and expansive, the tiny unspoken visual details really added a lot too! As a gamedev, that really inspired me a ton. :D

I LOVE this B/W aesthetic with the red accents!! I was also super impressed at how cohesive it all was, which made the jumpscares even more unexpected heheh (ngl one of them creeped me out because I was playing at like 3am in the dark LOL😂😂) I also love the range of sprite poses and expressions, Biker Boy’s emotes behind the helmet were really cute. So much delicious art aaaaa

The dialogue and narrative aspects were also so, so good!! The dialogue was witty and flowed well, and some of the internal monologue was so poetic I was like DAMN. It was really interesting to play through the eyes of the MC, I really liked how her inner thoughts reflected the visual colorless and dreary lens she wears, combined with the ambient noise really creates this distinct atmosphere of psychological discomfort. It definitely made me curious about her past, especially during the flashbacks where the world still had color. I’m also really curious what went down between her and Amelia! 👀👀

I also really enjoyed how fleshed out the love interests are!! Lane first came off as kind of a contradictory person to me, but it made more sense the more he showed pieces of vulnerability to the MC. Behind the difficult, flirty demeanor and bravado, he got some huge walls up LOL. And maybe he wants to have a deeper connection, but he doesn’t know how (or doesn’t think he deserves it). I also encountered more jump-scares and tense moments when MC spends more time with him as opposed to Biker Boy, so that also made me curious 👀 Biker Boy himself was so sweet to MC in their own interactions that I was honestly surprised at how explosive his anger and possession was during one of his conflicts with Lane. Things like that make me really interested to learn more about this mysterious guy aaaa. I really enjoyed how kind and considerate he is to MC, and I found him really endearing!! Although there’s definitely some red flags, I feel like he has her best interests in mind. 😂

I’m insanely curious to see how this unfolds in future updates, I could go on but I’ll stop here LOL. This game is a treasure and you are an inspiration, congrats on the update and I wish you the best of luck with development!! ❤️❤️
