Thank you for playing my game. ^^

I knew the core mechanics is not perfect before submitting. 

But now I have come up with other interesting ideas.

I think I have enough ideas to make it into a full game now!

There will be a completely new game mechanic, another character, and a love letter from Alice-Sama!

Really cool gameplay idea and really cool style! Nice job! ^^

I've returned to give this a proper rating now that my queue's clear. 5/5 enjoyment, as Alice asked.

I played it again, and my thoughts are basically the same as before: Cool atmosphere, nice gameplay, maybe a bit too much variance in the time scales.

11.1 years. This was a treat to play. I was possitivly surprised by the depth of the game. Rarely do you have to mix chance and strategy like this. At a point i thought she would start stealing time while distracting you with sweet-talk. I found the dark/cute aesthetics to slightly disturb my enjoyment of the game and I think a brighter theme, but the same messed up character had been a cleaner hit. Still 5/5 since it might be personal preference!

A really cute game concept, but since I'm not good with horror games, when she said there's no jumpscare I immediately thought there will be a jumpscare and closed the tab inmediatly, but I want to try it again.

There's no jumpscare don’t worry she explained why. 💜

Oh but there’s a color shifting and bloom effect in the ending (after you win every game). I think it’s mild and not creepy only lighting changes.

Well, i finish the game this time, without the fears of encounter a jumpscare  i managed to enjoy the game, and man it so god, the card game gain a lot of complexity and near to the end is a very fun manage the risk in any card played. A really god game.

Also, we need protect Alice-sama, she is a good waifu.

Amazing game. Every time I thought it couldn't get more interesting, a new mechanic emerges. I loved seeing the seconds count down as you thought about which card to play. You could make a movie out of this concept.

She seems so lonely, fuck it tbh I'd stay.
