MariaCorcobadoVA did an awesome job as narrator. I hope she gets to do the rest. Sleek GUI and very interesting use of animations and transitions.
The overall atmosphere of the game was very well done. I loved the art style and the dynamic camera movements. I had to take a second to appreciate the little dream sequence since the visuals and music worked together so well. I'm looking forward to seeing how the complete game will turn out. Great job!
TYSM! <3
I can tell this game has a great vision-- the presentation is definitely catered and only held back by the limitations of time. The music is beautiful, I caught myself pausing especially in the flashback and stargazing segments to listen to it. The hand-drawn style art is great, and with the writing it all sort of feels like Omori in a very nice way.
I hope to hear more voice acting, everything I heard was nice and it keeps my zoomies brain engaged. Great job to everyone involved!
Annish has created some memorable music- her dream music in particular was stuck in my head for days. Thank you so much for your comment, this is my first time as a team lead and being complimented on the overall vision in particular makes me very happy. I'm honored you'd compare us to Omori!
There will definitely be more voice acting- hope you'll return to hear it all in the final version! :)
The art for this is so unique wow! It was such an enjoyable play, cant wait to see how the story might change with demo options added, also, the voice acting was so perfect for the characters! We need more wolf Ashina 10\10
Thank you for your sweet comment. :) Our artists are very talented, I am very happy and grateful to be working with them. The full version should have full voice acting! Hope to see you back here when it's up. :)
I like the overall presentation of the game as well as the music, but I feel like Ashina transforming to scare the protag could've had a little more impact via a screen shake effect and/or a sound effect. It would've also been nice if there was some kind of indicator when the auto option was selected (I had it on to listen to the voice acting at the beginning).
Thank you so much for the feedback! We will do our best to incorporate it. :)
Really enjoyed playing this! The pops of colour were used very effectively, overall fantastic art, the music and transitions really tied it all together!
So glad you enjoyed it! Hope you'll check it out again when it's updated or complete. Thank you!! <3 I'm a big fan of symbolism and the colors seemed like a great vehicle for it. :)
I got chills playing through this! The art and animations were excellent, and the music fit the atmosphere like a glove!
A game making you feel something is high praise! :D Tysm. <3
Absolutely love the art and the UI! ✨ The pops of color in the grayscale were incredibly, incredibly effective, and the dream sequence was absolutely haunting. Excellent work!
Thank you. <3
I really enjoyed this! The art, writing, music, and scene transitions all mesh together so well! I loved the dogs at the beginning! The voice acting was phenomenal, I'm just super impressed. My only problem was that I played this before dinner, so talking about eating all this raw meat made me really hungry with thoughts of charcuterie or carpaccio. :)
You need to eat the raw meat.
(Maybe check if you feel an urge to howl at the moon? I didn't know our game was giving contact lycanthropy, whoops!)
((Thank you so much for playing and commenting. <3 ))
So far so good, if I wake up with bloody torn clothes or out in a field or something I think I'll make an appointment to see a doctor XD
This demo was brilliant! The artwork, UI and music all set the scene very well. I love how resourceful the devs have been with reusing art assets creatively to give the feeling of more expansion. The story was very cool, and there are choices that are unavailable in this current demo, but that only makes me want to play the full version more! Also love that there's voice acting, even though sparse at this point. The sound design is very effective too. Overall great experience.
i'm glad you liked it, thank you!

10/10 Good Boy. I always love it when people can crunch voice acting into a one month jam, looking forward for the finished result!
Thank you! :)
Wow, so pretty! The UI was super cool and yet simple , it totally worked. The story was compelling and I cannot wait to see what happens next! Good job
Thank you! Chiara was our UI artist. :)
Exactly my kind of story!
As you can guess from my profile picture and my last year's Spooktober entry, Werewolf stories are absolutely my alley. So I was super excited to play this! Also loved that you handled the childhood trauma the MC has. It gave her some extra depth.
The UI is really pretty. I also really enjoyed the black and white art style. It had some great transition when you looked up into the stars and such. All in all solid demo that leaves one wanting for more!
Looking forward to the finished game!
Thank you so much, Chiara is our UI artist and they did a fantastic job, especially considering they joined our team in the last week of the jam! We're hoping to have it finished at the end of the month for Monstrous Desires. :)
That's really awesome work! From time to time I felt very uncomfortable and even thought it has no jumpscare it's pretty scary. Also excellent voice acting
Thank you so much!
thank you!
