!! POSSIBLE SPOILERS, RANT INCOMING !!

at first i absolutely despised leonel but now hes unironically my favorite character, idek how it happened but it did :P (well, second favorite character, first favorite ofc being our beloved naomi ^^)

 i still dont trust Vir, idk just a gut feeling, like what he said when we confronted him makes sense n' it checks out- he wasnt violent or unreasonable, but somethings just not right about him, like i have this gut feeling hes bad news even if he portrays himself as the oh so reasonable one in the group... esp since after the confrontation he suddenly was more interactive with the group- i usually dont agree with felicia but i can understand why she reacted the way she did when he suddenly helped. hes a bit too calm considering the situation, if that makes sense- Naomi is relatively calm about the situation, but in an innocent or shy way, Vir is calm about the situation for seemingly no reason and thats just unsettling. this might be a huge stretch but i think hes just very skilled in manipulation and gaslighting, to the point where I the player and also the mc cant tell if hes in the right- seemingly trying to convince us that we're crazy.  i might just be paranoid though

i love the dynamic between felicia and saphira as well, its giving doomed perhaps toxic yuri, OR BOTH!! >:3/silly

also, honestly while i do understand keeping distance from deuce after they attacked us, i think they're not entirely unreasonable. overreactive? yes, but given the circumstances its a suprise no one else is terrified all the time. i also have a theory that deuce just overall is dealing with mental problems, maybe split personalities or anxiety? idk, they seem like a nice person when theyre not freaking out over dying, i wanna give them the benefit of the doubt

excited for more chapters to come out! the plot is really intriguing so far!! :3c

absolute cinema so far, and i love the artstyle sm X3

Ivan is so cute i want to eat him (sublte foreshadowing)/silly

really excited for more days to come out :3c

(SPOILERS, IF U HAVENT FINISHED ALL THE ENDINGS DONT READ)





i dont even know where to start w this, from the art to the story to the writing to the music, everything about this perfectly showcases how it feels to be in an abusive relationship and where they stem from.

 im no stranger to these topics in my life, infact my parents are having a pending divorce similar to Yuu and Yua's currently. The way the story was told, paced just right, described exactly how moments like these feel in real life, it was bittersweet, like a bloodstained dagger wrapped in the finest silk.

I knew what I was getting into when I downloaded the game, but I didnt expect it to be so respectful about the topics included- im so used to yandere media not rly doing any worldbuilding, never telling us why the love interest is like that, or the mc  just doesnt feel human in the way they respond to the situations- in worst case scenarios its romanticized the shit outta, to the point where the horror that its a real thing that happens is gone and all the yanderes actions are excused for one reason or another.

 this wasnt like any of that, i can tell it came from a place of not only talent and hardwork but also passion and care for the subject. its so comforting, this game, if that makes sense? ik horror isnt supposed to be comforting, but just the knowledge that this exists and others that play can get a good idea of what these situations are like in an interactive way, it makes me happy. breaking the generational cycle isnt easy, it takes a lot of willpower to stand in the face of true evil and still stand w ur convictions, and im proud of how thats represented!

the music does its job amazingly, making me feel even more emersed and conflicted.

I remember reading the letters in the links, and it also reminded me of a relationship i just got out of- and just, the entire game was sort of like looking in the mirror, in a good way ^_^"/gen

keep being amazing devs, and make sure to take care of yourselves :3

just got around to playing this today and loved every second of it, esp the storytelling and cutie patootie monster, so i told my friend about it and it turns out they actually had played the game before. So in other words, congrats!! its spreading :3c

so excited for the full release!! ^_^

instead of using a napkin for wiping off the stains after using the spray just use the mop, i also got stuck there ^^"

i loved dog sm <33

i feel like im outta the loop w the meaning of this game ngl but i rly liked the game!! :3

the moment the bread was described i had a bad feeling lol

once u reach the end of the game a dif stranger just types "pls" over and over again until u quit the game

pls

ABSOLUTE CINEMA!! i haven't seen a mystery this good since i first finished "a series of unfortunate events"

munch munch

i was about to add this to my agere collection for my little alter and by gods am i glad i played it to the end first

((SPOILERS WARNING, PLS DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT FINISHED THE GAME))

""The happiness your're trying to create isn't real."" is def going in my vault of videogame quotes I love, this took me like 3 hours (w a year gap inbetween playing, 107 saves because im a menace at saving systems lol) and I honestly found Aria anoying at first, I've seen so many characters like her that never get depth and are just there to be the "clutsy cute petite girl whos afraid of everything" and so on, but w each chapter and w each piece of lore i discovered i started to understand her more and more; and by the end i genuinely liked her a lot, to the point where i didnt want her to cry ^^". All of the characters though, including the hostile creatures from the books, and the talking books themselves, had so much depth in my opinion; theyre all lovable in their own unique ways, and while i usually look for horror rpg maker games w sad or creepy endings, i actually enjoyed the writing and end a lot (i went for true end route), it reminded me that sometimes i need a change of pace in what i play and read rather than sticking to a genre i feel most famaliar with. the tumblr guide was my savior during my first (and currently only, though perhaps some day in the far future ill play this game again for memories) playthrough. the art, gameplay, puzzles, everything was perfect, i genuinely cant think of anything bad in this game (i try to give contructive critism when i write long comments like this, but this time i simply cant, nothing was "bad", sure its not perfect but its pretty close). i know by the time im writing this comment on the page this is an old project, but its important to remember that even old creations can hold up over time if done right, tysm the hardworking dev team for creating this game :3

therapy twinsies!! gl w ur future projects + imo i think this is surprisingly good at not romanticizing Capgras syndrome so dw bout it, but everyones opinion and experience is diff <33

this lore is insane; smth like this actually happened in my family once, i occasionally also get this mindset but not in a violent way, more fearful and untrusting than anything; its called capgras syndrome if u wanna look it up, personally its happened since childhood w my mother. wish more games had representation of it :3 (i am doing better mentally now btw)

whats the name of these sorta puzzles? ive never done any puzzles like this before/pos/genq

the way I got pstd flashbacks to Open House once i saw the build/j

WORDS CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS GAME!!! GJ!! X3 ALSO WHATS THE SONG AT THE CREDITS PLS?

rly nice guide but just wanted to say that i think Bailey goes by they/them prns canonly!! :3

awkward . . . X__X

np at all!! gl w ur future projects btw :3

another amazing game from one of my new fav indie game devs!!! :3 i feel like i shouldnt relate to this game, but i do

LITERALLY

i gotta draw Sera shes so pretty

STARBAGE PLAYTESTED THIS?? THATS HOW IK ITS PEAK

No problem ^^! Hope your guy's next project goes well too, you're all so talented X3

BEST CHOICE OF MY LIFE TO TRUST MISHA I WOULD PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS JUST TO LIVE IN AN ALT REALITY WHERE THIS IS A MOVIE TRILOGY OR SMTH LIKE I JUST KNOW ITD B SO GOOD LIKE IT'D RIVAL GAME OF THRONES

best delivery end (what really happened at the end): we live happily ever after

this reminds me of Twisted Wonderland for some reason and I'm loving it

as I saw that somehow this gorgeous game didn't have much feedback yet I decided I had to play and give my opinion on it to the devs :3

first of all, UI for the main menu is so freakin creative and neat! Not only that but the game logo itself is just iconic in a way I'd expect from a popular VN from Steam that's like 19 dollars. Don't get me started on the ingame menu, it didn't need to be so detailed but I'm not at all complaining, quite the opposite.

Backgrounds: amazing, I can tell from the first glance that their was effort poured into each render

Writing: amazing and detailed, really puts the novel in visual novel

Characters: amazing, I really gew attached to them

Plot: literally i luv it smm, but i might b biased since i luv leeches and swamps lol

Overall: HOW IS THIS NOT MORE POPULAR YET

ID PAY 20 DOLLARS FOR A FULL GAME OF THIS ISTG I LUV ATOM SMMM

Miss is so mecore its actually a bit unsettling

as a trans person this rly resonates w me, and I love the poems; they remind me of my diary entries. im so glad u made this game, i hope one day i can get top surgery too

sensei update when/h
