You know that meme of that guy smoking a cigarette out a window? That was me at the ending of this game. (compliment) Glad I went to check to see if there were more than one ending because I got the less crazy one the first time. If you call that hammer scene less crazy anyway...
(。・ω・。)
Anyway, LOVE a mushroom motif. I assume this is to fit with the rotten theme? Or mayhaps a reference to the destroying angel? Either way, very nice.
I think your game would taste like cool whip someone left in the freezer and when you take it out it has those sharp ice crystals in it.

Developer

Aaah thank you for playing!!! The mushroom motif is both for symbolizing the rotten theme and also the destroying angel mushroom! Honestly, that's the first time I've heard someone describe our game like that, but I really like that!

I love how the main menu changes depending on your ending! Amazing and disturbing work!!!

i can't believe we both wrote BLVNs with angel themes.... amazing coincidence.

what beautiful work! i love both evan & enjel, and i love how their dynamic is portrayed. it's a short story, but there's just enough information and implications to guide the reader's understanding toward how their relationship became so rotten. the visual motif of fingerprints is so good for this. the CG of evan looking up at enjel is soooooo good too,  and the main menu change is so beautiful (and rotten), i loved it!
there's so much nice symbolism in the story. the angel mushrooms...

Developer

what a coincidence indeed!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! While the visual motif looks like fingerprints, it's actually the underside of a mushroom (we wanted to highlight mushrooms without making it obvious that it's mushrooms LOL). Still, I'm so very glad that you enjoyed our submission! It means a lot and I appreciate it!!

Wow it's a pretty unique player POV to influence the story.! The execution is great and I really felt bad for Evan.  I thought I got a bad ending at first with the main menu change but turned out the second one was even more terrible,  I totally didn't see that coming!

Oh gosh Saitoki!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! I'm happy that you enjoyed it and your submission is definitely on my playlist next! I can't wait to get to it!!

I was playing this game with my friends yesterday and it was fascinating to explain to them the horror of this VN and how different our opinions are! I personally enjoyed this and was all :J when I guessed you know who is about. The art is pretty and Evan is totally my type. I love games like these!


Sigh I'm weak towards endings this game has with you know what.

Ohhh!! Thank you for playing!! I'm happy that it sparked a discussion between you and your friends too!  Ultimately though, I'm happy that you enjoyed your time with it! Thank you for your kind words and Evan is totally my type too I mean what

Beautiful story that hooks you from the very beginning by investing yourself into a character you feel  you create!  And the twist at the end of the one ending... nope, didn't see it coming. Totally here for it! Good job!
