This was very fun to go through! I don't normally like this kind of thing, but I feel like I have a much better and fuller understanding of the appeal and letting myself get into it and taken along was such a nicely physical feeling~

Gave me a lot of ideas to try~

Thank you so much! Im really glad it was impactful ^_^

this was very cathartic to read, thank you~

The illustrations were very nice as well!

Thanks so much for playing and really glad you liked it ^_^

"Great story to feel like shit to" is such a great compliment for this~

This was really really good, the writing was excellent and I loved the apple 2 style graphics, reminded me of like Uncle Buddy's phantom funhouse or something. I really liked the way you played with interactivity, especially during the scene towards the end, you kind of give the player the option to see what's going to happen then make them choose to have it happen or skip, which made it feel all the more impactful when I had to make that choice to have things keep happening. I really liked that the lead still likes being trans, I feel like a lot of similar stories I've read to this don't have that firmness to it, but despite everything that happens to her she doesn't lament her transness or regret her bottom surgery and never seems like she's going to at least in my reading

*** is such a frustrating self-obsessed annoying terrible person but maintains enough realistic pathos to be completely believable and real, though I do wish she had at least some likable traits to make her a bit messier than just a straightforward villain. She's boring not in a "lack of interesting writing" way but in the way terrible abusive people often are, nothing real going on inside just a twisted mess of selfish surface level desire, a black hole with nothing at the center. I enjoyed the way the narrative almost doms the reader, forcing you along with ***'s terrible actions, giving you false choices to force you to do the obviously wrong thing, making you give up control to someone so obviously abusive.

This is a genuine masterpiece, it tackles so much and so incredibly well. Insular communities and AI psychosis and how those small insular groups get taken and lolcowed and ultimiately mythologized by the rest of the internet and how big tech takes and takes and makes us worse and just this really great grasp of how the often unpalatable micro becomes blown up and normalized into the macro we all live with and how unfair that is to the often queer damaged people at the heart of it. The characters were so well written and real in their messy awful dynamics with each other, and that's not even getting into how masterfully this mixed different forms of internet media with very different voices and takes to make a really masterful full spectrum view of how one often comes across these situations as a spectator across multiple websites and forms

Really cool how it played with time, it was disorienting how fast different amounts of time passed while Pilot was unconscious or training. I also liked how her need for the cockpit was both a metaphorical addiction and also a literal physical one that never really goes fully addressed because we never see the story outside the controlled view of Toro. The more intimate scenes between Pilot and Ava were also very well done

Awww thank you so much! Im so glad it was able to resonate so strongly with you! This is such high praise for something I poured so much into but is so abrasive, I honestly teared up a little bit reading over your notes~

Really love the Maidgender symbol you made!

Wow, this was really fun! I really like the papercraft "sprites", they were so cute and it made for a really cool style! Really great music choices too. The way the tone shifts and how abrupt it is is such a bold choice but you really pulled it off. The character dynamics were so well thought out and fun right up until suddenly they were no longer fun (in a very good way). I spent the first two thirds wondering how this would become toxic yuri, and then it really really did~

This was really incredible, I can't stop thinking about it. If any game I've played sums up the true meaning of Toxic Yuri VN Jam 2-mas it's this 1000%. It's incredible how distinct the different voices felt and how polished everything was

Though I can't say much more about Kaschei, it doesn't exist yet after all

Yeah, I cant even blame Bart too much, certain forms of art beg for an audience more than others and it can be intensely demoralizing when that audience just doesnt happen

Thank you! Glad you found it interesting, curious if you felt like your questions were answered by the end

This was a really fun play to watch this way, though I am an absolute sucker for avant-garde theater done through a videogame. I liked the way the wordplay kind of washed over me but was still a very legible puzzle that was often very funny. The frame narrative was very real to the feeling of being dragged to a play like this, not getting it, not liking it, but still having it follow you home

This was so good, loved the illustrations and the presentation. The girls were such fun characters the way they saw each other and interacted with each other. Made me think a lot about some of the art I've made that intersects with the fetish space and explores themes I find hot but I still want people to engage and understand as art I'm putting effort and myself into despite how often unpalatable they are to people

Thanks so much! This was really nice, I'm so glad it resonated with you!

Thank you ^_^

This was nice! The way it played with choice was very cool!

This was so beautiful I really loved it! Played this right after a camping trip in the woods I did all the cooking for so I felt really connected with how Daizy begins the game. Without spoiling anything I love the conflation of intrusive thoughts, thoughts of her momma, and the red flowers that swims and mixes and grows as it goes on and how you play with the narration and how it interacts with the "flower text"

This was really sweet! Honestly made me want to get back into development more than most games i've played in the last year or so, doing with Unity what others do with bitsy in a way that just looks and feels so accessible but still so good and impactful!

I've been a fan of Domino Club, not since the beginning but pretty close to it, ever since I played the sublime Mother of Monster back in 2021, so it was nice to get a little retrospective from some of the people involved on what it's meant to them and it gave me a little space to think about what Domino Club has meant to me over the last almost half decade of eagerly awaiting their releases. Each game someone in Domino Club has put out has been such a beautiful crystal of something new and exciting and perverted and wonderful, I don't think there's a single game I haven't taken something away from and they've constantly challenged my ideas about writing, art, and games over and over. There have been a lot of little game and art collectives I've followed over the years and most have petered out long before the point where I wasn't left wanting more and lamenting what could have been, and I'm genuinely grateful to Domino Club for lasting this long. 

Domino Club forever ~💛

A game to live your life by 😔

I really really loved this! A really thoughtful take on the subject that delves into the exact type of entitled creep that often frequents these spaces while not losing sight of the fact that that doesnt inherently make the subject "bad"

Such a beautiful game, I love that I haven't gone and seen everything you've made yet. There's still something new when I need it

Brutal, gritty, and electric. Things like this set my brain on fire and I just want more. The ending killed me too, I wish less of my friends could disappear like that, just as easily

True ending achieved

This game is driving me absolutely insane trying to crack its secrets

Good job!

It's been a while but in case this is useful to anyone, I got it to run fine by setting it to windowed mode

Loved it, it almost felt like a modern Game&Watch which is not a design style very many games go for but you made it feel so fresh and new!

Thanks so much! I kind of wanted it to end a little abruptly so I'm not sure I want to tinker with it too much, thanks for pointing that out though

Thank you so much for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it :)

Yeah, for reasons too long to really go into if I update my drivers my computer bluescreens any time I boot it up. Most things work fine though so it's a little weird this doesn't

Oh my gosh, thank you so much, this is the nicest review i've ever gotten! I'm so glad it resonated with you so strongly!

Thanks, I'm so glad you liked it! Bitsy is great for mood pieces and I'm glad I got across the feeling I was trying to!

Thanks for playing! It's not the most immediately intuitive mechanic, but I think it's neat

Thanks Marina! I really like your stuff so it means a lot to hear from you! Yeah, I think the constellation room probably turned out best so I'm glad you liked it

Thanks so much for the comment, glad you liked it!
