Got it on Patreon (I share my Steam account with my little sister so I didn't want to get it there, lol)! I love Enox! I played through all of his endings. Haven't played the other routes yet but I got the game specifically for him. I played your Christmas game so I knew to expect lots of lore here as well!

It happened regardless of what order I scored high in. In that screenshot, I had scored highest in celestial, then got points in lunar, and then death. I tried again after getting lunar first, then celestial, then nature, and then I just got 4 points in death and it swapped to death. Another time I did celestial, 4 points in death, and then nature, and it stayed as death again, even though everything else was higher.
On the page that starts with "You can't help but notice that they haven't asked you what happened" and ends with "Only one thing brings you comfort now, when everything else is so foreign and unfamiliar," there are the four options that give you points towards your divine dominion. But if you click the "Divine Dominion" button after choosing one of the options, and then you click "return to story," it takes you back to that same page where you can choose one of the options again. You keep the points though so the page can be farmed repeatedly for infinite points. Not sure how much these points will matter later on but I wanted to let you know in case. Also, the game puts mine as death even though celestial is higher. I tested it with other combinations as well and death seems to be locked in once I've picked it twice (4 points) no matter how much I pick the other options or in what order.
I got Nalis' ending on my first playthrough and then used the guide to get Thaumo's endings and I don't even know how I got Nalis the first time because all of my choices leaned towards Thaumo. I think the only choice I made between the two that got me Nalis' ending was questioning Thaumo about the spilled drink. To get Thaumo's ending instead, I only changed that to thanking him, otherwise I got the Nalis ending.
NOOOOO You have no idea the absolute dread I felt 😭
I haven't played through the game yet but the first line had me completely frozen because my name is Mari. Do you know how crazy it is to start off with a black screen that says your name?? LOL I was like, "Have I played this game before and it somehow stored my name in its memory?" But then I remembered the description says it's gender neutral so it wouldn't be using she/her pronouns for me. I finally clicked to the next dialogue and realised it's an NPC. That start really did give me a fright though, haha.

I didn't have a red marker (or any markers) and ended up using lip liner. It looked a bit brown so I went over it digitally with a red highlighter. I only had an 8x6 inch notebook, so I was working with less space. Also, I didn't really know how to draw a spark so I just drew a star shape and wrote in an empty space that I lost my spark. This was technically my first journaling RPG (I played one other one before but didn't follow the rules). I enjoyed it! I didn't know how to mention that the killer was "hot as hell" while keeping the horror vibes lol. I'm hoping I did this right. I somehow got my lucky number three times in a row at the start!
So I played again. This time I reversed things and told her she wasn't allowed to leave. She kept insisting she be allowed to go out. Then we did some house chores and I said I was going to sleep and she opened the door on her own.
The next time I played, I immediately said she was being rude and that she should just go. She asked if we could talk about it but I said there was nothing to talk about. She agreed to leave and said she was going to give me the exit key.

The game is too easy. I asked if she wanted to play video games so we sat on the couch together. Then, on her own, she got up, opened the door and said, "Just let me know if you need to leave. Here, I'll open the door for you!" It was totally unprovoked. At that point, I had only asked two questions: if she wanted to game and how she could game and dance at the same time. I walked out the door and stood there for a few seconds before asking her to come shopping with me. She agreed so I said, "Let's go!" Suddenly she got mad and asked if I was trying to leave her. I just said no and reminded her we were going shopping. She went "Oh, I totally forgot! Let me know when you're ready to go. I'll wait by the door!"
It felt too quick because I had just started playing so I decided to look around the apartment. I picked up a bird and for the second time, she was telling me I was free to go, totally unprovoked. She said I was like the bird and needed freedom so I was free to go and she was sorry for her "previous behaviour."
Anyway, I finally told her I was ready to go shopping so she followed me to the door. I asked where the store was and she offered to lead me there. She walked me to the exit and I "escaped."

I tried to make it look as close to my appearance as I could, but none of the options matched my hairstyle and colour (black). I matched the hairstyle instead. My wheelchair also looks different, but I don't mind that!
By the way, another way to screenshot on Windows is Windows key + Shift + S. There's also Ctrl + PrtSc or Windows key + PrtSc. Another way (at least on my computer) is clicking on the Windows Ink Workspace from the toolbar and then clicking 'Fullscreen snip.' I think the first one I mentioned is easiest.
It's difficult for me to express emotions.
I envy other people. They make faces naturally, but I have to make a conscious decision each time I move a muscle.
Every morning I go to the bathroom to rehearse what my face is going to show today.
This is relatable to me rather than intriguing or creepy. I'm autistic, and autistic people have what is called a "mask," which is where we act like allistic (non-autistic) people in order to survive. For me, masking included practising my facial expressions in the mirror. I couldn't frown for years and had to pull my lips down with my fingers. I only really got the hang of frowning near the start of adulthood. But even though I'm pretty good at showing socially accepted facial expressions now, it's still an extremely conscious action. I don't just naturally smile when I'm happy, scowl when I'm angry, or frown when I'm sad. I had to teach myself to do these things, and I have to allocate some of my concentration to monitoring/controlling my face whenever I'm around people.
So that concept in the game doesn't really stand out to me, because it's my normal. However, I really liked the idea of controlling the protagonist's face rather than choosing dialogue. The story is also interesting. Good job!
By the way, I apologise if the first part of my comment comes across as criticism. I just wanted to share my perspective as an autistic person with alexithymia.
I just want to thank you for listing Filipino and Pacific Islander as two separate things. I'm part Filipino (Tsinoy), and I've met so many other Filipino people (including my own parents) who think we're Pacific Islanders rather than Asian. But Pacific Islanders are their own minority group, and their community faces different issues that many Filipinos aren't aware of when they use the label.
I followed the development of this game from pretty early on, and today, I finally finished my first playthrough! I am truly in love with this game. It hits so close to home that I nearly cried when I was nearing the end. Each character had something I could relate to, and the fact that I could respond to situations in my own way meant the world to me. The LGBTQ+ elements were also very important to me. I tried to play the game as close to my real life as possible, which meant presenting as female in the first step. When I changed my pronouns and such from step two and onward, and I was met with love and support from the characters, I felt overjoyed. It was real. It was something I needed. So thank you! Waiting for this game was one of the best decisions I've made.
Awesome! Loved the game by the way! I'll admit, I hadn't been following the development that closely after the game was first announced, so I was very surprised by everything when I saw it for the first time. Absolutely loved all the voice acting, characters, writing, art... everything! It was just an overall enjoyable and cute game.
Hi! I just started playing the game and I found a small issue. I'm not sure if you're aware of it yet, so I apologise if you already are. I also haven't played through the entire game yet, so I don't know if it happens again elsewhere. Basically, my pronouns are set to he/him, but in these two lines Carmilla refers to my character as 'her.' I attached screenshots below. I thought that I might've chosen the wrong pronouns at the beginning, so I restarted, and it happened again. She also used the correct pronouns a few lines earlier.


So, I never play horror games. I can watch horror movies just fine (in fact, they make me laugh), but horror games put me in the position of the character, and that's a great cause of anxiety. Despite all this, I ultimately decided to try Therapy with Dr Albert Krueger. Something about the art style and minigames shown on the download page drew me in. In the end, I fell in love. Especially after the good ending. The new dialogue, the entertaining video (I'm sure you know the one I'm talking about), and the character interaction all made this game very charming. It's something that will stay in my mind, and in a good way.
Also, to show just how bad I am with horror games, my family once tried to get me to play Rush of Blood. I ended up screaming at the top of my lungs and quitting the game at the loading screen. The game hadn't even started. It was just loading the main menu.
The second option on turn 195 gives a point towards snarky/sardonic instead of amiable/optimistic.
