A friend recommended me your works and I'm so SO enamored with your writing! Simple in a way, but hard hitting all the same. I enjoyed just reading them being sweet but when everything flooded and broke, it was written gut wrenchingly well! I love that you don't shy away from describing events as is, no matter how hard it might be for the readers to take it. I adore the two main characters' dynamics and Scarlett especially was so uncomfortably realistic. I'm also such a big fan of the art, it's super unique and conveys each character's emotions perfectly!

I'll definitely be reading more of your works! Thank you for creating this game!!!

Thank you Yuling!! Hope you enjoy what's in store!

Thank you for playing our game Archeia!!! Penelope being described as mushroomy is unexpected, but I can definitely see it... 

That being said, we're working to finish this soon!!

This game absolutely excels in its writing! The characters and the worldbuilding is very intruguing and it leaves me wanting to learn more. The visuals are absolutely GORGEOUS and the OST are a jam! The gameplay is overall fun and I truly love its concept! This project is just brimming with ambition and passion, I'm very much looking forward to the next update! Thank you for all the team's hard work!

Another Iris to ID game!!! I'm so happy to see another spooktober entry by the team and lo and behold, the writing and art are both fire!!! It got me immersed into the story so quick and I'm really just in love with the lore building, the world, and the characters so far! The idea that we're playing as a daemon and the first narration comes from a human girl who's distrustful of them (for good reasons I think) creates a whole dilemma of morality. Yet even still, not everything in this game is as easily decided as black and white, and that works really well for this gameplay where we have to pretty much judge these characters!

Aside from that, the visuals are amazing, the soundtrack is an absolute BANGER, and I'm addicted to the gameplay. I'm a sucker for games like these and you guys did an amazing job nailing it and bringing it to live!

However, as much as I loved it, I also have a few issues with it. It's mostly issues that I think is caused by the tight time limit, but I still want to bring it up because I'm REALLY anticipating the game's next build!!!

While the UI looks very sleek, modern, and appealing, I think there are way too many moving parts in it that it makes the menu pretty tough to navigate. I think the slider button is subtle and doesn't contrast the bar enough, so it took me a few seconds to register where I'm at in the bar.




[spoilers for Noemie from here on out, spaced out in case someone wants to go in blind!]


I also picked Noemie first (um, probably a bad idea since she's good at talking... but we ball), and I don't think I can proceed with her judgement? I got to the last part and it throws me back to Rais' verdict part (this is me going down the "look at her record and dig into her past" route).


When I went the other way (pleasing Noemie and giving her what she wants. I think I failed at this interrogation), it takes me back to her last interrogation scene.

Picking the dialogue options in her last lock chain also brings up this error

I've only gone down Noemie's case so far. I may be back if I encounter more from the other cases.

But despite that, I still really really love this game and the potential behind it! It's still VERY impressive , charming, and I'm just in awe with every aspect of the game! I can tell a lot of passion, ambition, and love is poured into the project from all parties involved and it definitely shows! I'm super duper excited and will definitely be keeping a close eye on God's Specimen Box! Thank you so much for all your hardwork and I hope the team has a good, well-deserved rest after the development period!

Edit: Adding in my specs! I'm on Windows 11, 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H (2.30 GHz), 16 GB RAM. I hope this helps and lmk if I can provide more info that can help with bug fixing!

Woah, thank you Shira! The entire team really did great with this project and I'm so blessed to be able to work with great people!!! Once again, thank you for playing and for the sweet comment, we really appreciate it!

Newsboi cap!!! It's so good to see you here! I've watched halfway through and I gotta say, I love your commentary and your voice!

A correction though! I only did the art for the main menu and banner for this project. The wonderfully drawn sprites and CGs are all Yonnechi! She's an amazing artist and you can follow her on twitter if you'd like! Still, thank you so much!

Aah gotcha!!! Good to know! 

Yamato's abs are like magnets to me... I don't know what happened I think my finger just moved on its own and starts clicking every location with Yamato in it...

Don't get me wrong, it's still traumatizing, but a banger still!!

Oh, and I forgot to include this in my comment before, but this happens and I thought I'd let you know

I'm glad to hear that you're getting enough rest now! As for the trash bug, I'm on windows and the peeking animation kept playing for me even if someone isn't technically peeking (it blinks off and on, so I continued to press when the animation is on after the footsteps are gone and it works). I think what triggered it was me clicking too frequently? I'll have to see if I can recreate the bug and screen record it so you can see it more clearly! Either way, I managed to progress the story despite that bug!

Another banger game from yurinationrise!!! The art is wonderful, the premise is very interesting, the VAs are great, and the wide variety of gameplay is impressive! Definitely will be keeping an eye out on future updates!

More yurinationrise game!!! The art is so beautiful as always and the sheer amount of variety on gameplay is insane to me, how did you code and draw all that in 1 month... Even if there are some bugs (as comment below mentioned, I encountered it during the trash minigame as well), it's still really impressive and ambitious! Please tell me you got enough rest after this 😭

The story itself is really interesting! The VAs did an amazing job bringing the characters all to life! Overall, a nice game with beautiful visuals and intriguing plot!

Thank you sm for playing and leaving a rating!!! We're glad that you enjoyed it!

SAVED MY LIFE AND MY WHOLE FAMILY WITH THIS THANK YOU!!!! I hope both sides of your pillow will always be cold and your crops always watered

I'm so amazed, this game has so much content, it's so insane (and we also feel like we're going insane playing through it! This is a good thing!). It's really well written and terrifying. The art and design of each character and backgrounds are all really good too!

Just finished the ending and I'm in AWE at everything! The sheer amount of content, the art, the music, the variants, and of course, the horror of it all! I'm absolutely in love with the monster design (would love to see the entire art of them for sure, they're all drawn so wonderfully grotesque). And the writing is really well done too! I'm seriously impressed that you all managed to do this in the span of a month...

[Slight spoilers below!]

I started with Yamato on accident and ended up really liking him, but then I started Hikaru's route and I also ended up really liking them. Shiori is really interesting too! Everyone is really likable here and it makes it all the more agonizing when a certain incident happens.

All in all, a very good game! Everyone involved did such an amazing job and a lot of love has definitely been put into this game! Thank you for making and sharing this with us!!

WAHH thank you so much Altila!!! I too hope that Penelope will be okay by the end of this story...

Cute wholesome BL that will not leave you heartbroken at all

WIZARDDD!!! Please I just want the best for him... 😭

[Slight spoilers from here on out!]

This VN feels like a nice, warm, comforting cup of tea. Nova's struggles are all too real for me, so I related to him immediately. This makes the wizard's words and attempt at cheering Nova all the more impactful to me. The wizard is such a good kid, I definitely understand why Nova would get so attached to him. I WOULD TOO!!! No that's a lie, I already am attached to him...

The ending hurt me physically (in a good way!). But despite everything, I love how encouraging and supportive the Wizard is.

The art is drawn really well (as expected). Absolutely adore how ethereal the Wizard looks. I also really like the in game UI too btw, it's so minimalistic, modern, simple yet so pretty to look at! 

All in all, another solid Altila game!!! Thank you for making this and sharing with us!

Spoilers:

No disrespect taken! The reason I tagged it as Otome is because it plays with otome tropes and has a structure and setting similar to otome (fem MC trying to get with masc LIs). It DOES act more as a fakeout, but I can understand why someone would think it's mislabeled. At its core, it isn't an otome game, but more of a thriller. The same way how DDLC isn't a slice of life galge but has elements of galge in the first half of the story.

Still, I'll take the otome tag down to avoid mislabeling and confusion. That's something I don't mind doing at all!

Edit: Say, why do you keep saying it's a GL? It's not. Ichigo is a man

Ahh I see! Thank you for letting me know! It's still strange how this game ended up in your library, but knowing this is reassuring!

Oohh, I see... thanks for explaining! I really feel bad for those whose games have been delisted ngl. Hopefully your games still sticks around for the long run! Let's keep creating things anyway!

Oh, I wasn't aware that there's a difference between delisting and deindexing... I may need to read up more on this. But thank you for having Coalesce in your thoughts Usarin!! I hope your games are all safe and fine!

It's still so upsetting that this had to happen at all. I'm very glad to know that you'll be continuing making the games that you want, as you should! I've said it but I'll say it again, hopefully they resolve this soon and all of this will soon blow over!!!

Hello! We’re currently a 2 person team looking for 2 background artists to help bring our vision a reality! 

(UPDATE: All positions filled! Thank you so much!)

Here is a small summary of what we’ll be making:

Little Red Mushroom Head is an ADV VN about a girl named Penelope who ran into the woods after something devastating happened to her, only to encounter a house made of flesh with a fairy attending to it. Why is this house made of flesh and who exactly is the attendant? Why did things end up the way they are now?

It’s a horror-ish visual novel with autumn/lovecraftian vibes. We’re aiming for whimsical/fairy tale horror vibes, so anyone who can showcase that in their works would be very much a plus! 

We're aiming to have approximately 5 backgrounds, so we're looking for 2 BG artists to share that workload!

  1. Flesh house BG artist: drawing the interior and exterior of the house, so if you wish to apply, you must be okay with drawing flesh (as a reference, it’d be somewhat similar to Saya no Uta)  Already filled!
  2. Environment BG artist: drawing a forest and town environment Filled!

If you’re interested, please reply under this post or dm me in discord @syllphana! Thank you for reading and we hope we piqued your interest! 

Awful world we live in. To think this game is shadowbanned and there's barely any adult content yet, nor does it break TOS... Here's hoping this stupid movement ends so we can create and consume whatever content we want 😔

Thank you for reading as always Len!!! Glad you had fun with it!

Thank you for your nice words!! It really means a lot and I'm happy to hear all of it! Thank you for creating those videos too since there are barely any WTTFM or Coalesce gameplay videos I can link to people just in case anyone asks for it! 

Thank you for playing and for your continued support! I hope you stick around until the sequel is out, whenever that may be!

Hello!! I'm very happy to know that you loved the game enough to make a playlist!! Sadly, I somehow can't find it.... would it be okay if I ask for a link to it? 

Luka is going to have plenty of screen time soon, if I managed to make the sequel... I hope you look forward to that and thank you for playing!!!

Oh my god, Hon thank you!! I'm very honored to have my game be one of the first Indo VNs that you've played and glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much! I hope your game will be noticed too, I have to give it a go when I can... good luck to you too and keep on creating the things you love!!!

Thank you lenastorm!!! It really is such a big accomplishment... I didn't think I'd be able to finish this one at all to be honest!

God I adore EVERYTHING about this game and I had just wished I could've played it sooner!!! Or maybe even later when the full game is out because what do you mean I have to wait for the full release now?? (I'm joking no pressure please take your time)

The art of this game drew me in from the very first time I saw this game in my homepage. When I finally got around to playing it, it's clear that it's not just the art that's high quality, but the writing and the UI design too! There's something about your writing that really gives me the chills- in a great way! Even in such a short time, the game is able to immerse me in its world, characters, and even the fear from some of the characters! The wonderfully drawn art really helps with this too! It creates this mysterious, chilling atmosphere that makes everything 10000 even more tense! Everything about this game is just so, SO cool and I love every single second I spent with it!!!

You did such an amazing job with this demo and I absolutely can't wait for the full release! Wishing you the best of luck!!!

I finally got to play the full version and I LOVE THIS GAMEEE, it's really evident that a lot of work and love went into it (3+ years of work.... congrats on finally finishing it...). I really enjoyed every second playing it!

[Spoilers below!]










I think Liev is such a wonderfully written character! I love that Lucia doesn't shy away from showing that he can be terrible and actually does reprimand him in the story! I think it's also neat that he "can be fixed". While some would argue that it's giving wattpad or unrealistic romance, I would argue that it gives the reader hope that even "irredeemable" people can be redeemable if they truly want to change and be better. It's going to be a tough road, but one that CAN be taken.

Aside from that, I also really dig Liev's scary moments! I absolutely adore his yandere sprites! When it shows up out of nowhere, it sends chills up my spine lol

I'm defintely looking forward to the sequel or anything else from Lucia! No rush though! Good luck with it!!

I'm really glad to hear all that! Thank you so much Christine! You're so very sweet for this, thanks for making my day!

The amount of characters and the plot itself were what worried me, so to hear that you enjoyed both is great news! You'll definitely see some of these characters coming back, even featured as the main characters in the next sequel, so please look forward to that!

Once again, thank you for leaving a comment on the game pages, it truly means a lot and I always look forward to hearing your thoughts! Until next time!

YAYY CONGRATS ON RELEASE!! Even though I'm a part of the team, I kept myself as blind as I can manage, so excited to play it!!!

Thank you too for playing!! 

You and me both, I still also need to finish Act 2 AHHH!! Wishing luck for the two of us so we can find some time to play!

Hearing Coalesce surpassing Where the Two Flowers Meet in your opinion is really relieving!! I'm happy that my improvement is visible! There are definitely a lot of plans I initially have with these characters, but I sadly couldn't commit to some of them since I thought it would bloat the story too much and divert the attention from the main theme of the game. That and I didn't want Coalesce to stay in development hell for too long. I'm glad that you still enjoy it despite its flaws! I couldn't have asked for more!

I do want to say though, a lot of the plans I have for the brother is intentionally not included in Coalesce, but instead, he will have a LOT of moment in the next sequel! I hope the crumbs I've left you will intrigue you enough to anticipate the next game with him in it! Please look forward to it!!

Once again, thank you so much for playing both WTTFM and Coalesce!! I'm extremely grateful and I wish you nothing but the best!

Oh my god?? Have fun!!
