A great work. Good screenplay, art and interaction. I'm looking forward to the next acts.
i was recommended to try this game and was hooked on it. What "you" encountered is depicted as vivid as life.
This was a great game. There were times where I genuinely got spooked by the sounds and the visuals of the game. I kind of relate to this game, to the point where it made me feel extra scared lol. I love this game : D.
holymoly
Where to start.. streaming this live may have been a not great idea because I WAS SEEING ALL THE FLASHES BUT they couldn't so it looked like i was losing it in the best way 😭
The game is really well done, i really enjoyed it and booyy was it very familiar in some ways.
There was one issue with the S for the doggos name, but apparently it does need to be capital letters, but I REALLY ENJOYED THIS.
The best horror entry I played so far
I enjoyed the mixed media visuals like when you were in the toilet answering the phone. It made the phone and text conversations stand out really well. The story did a good job of encapsulating the anxiety and internal dilemmas surrounding domestic violence, homophobia, and panic attacks/anxiety.
Thank you for playing the game! I am happy that you like it!
I’m not sure if I’m the only one who had the bug but it seems like when I got to the
(spoilers for act 4)
boss fight with mother, I had to type the protag's dog's name, but its name starts with 'S' which seems to trigger Ren'py's screenshot shortcut key thus couldn't proceed that part at all so I had to drop the game D:Despite that, overall I really love the visual style and how eerie the protag’s mum is. Also, the fox is very adorable <3 I’m just sad I couldn’t seem to nor figure out a way to bypass the roadblock.
Edit: Managed to finish the game, the reason I couldn’t get past in the first place was just ‘cause of my lack of attention LMAO going back to the protag’s mum, using puppet animation on her is a very fitting choice as it gave her an uncanny and eerie motion which adds to the protag’s view of how terrifying she finds her mother to be. Great job!
ohhh, should have typed uppercase 's', this is bad design, shouldn't have done that TWT
Ooooh omg I made it through, now that I’ve replayed and paid attention to the first few items, I didn’t notice
spoilers for act 4
that only the dog had a capital S haha ;O; my attention issues in play so it's kinda on meI was excited to play this because this one stood out to me. Don't want to say that much because the message can be easily understand. I just want to say you guys are awesome.
Thank you!!! I am happy you enjoyed the game! You are the best <3
I really enjoyed the game alot! Despite being 30 minutes I think you convey the message strongly and effectively. I enjoyed the artstyle alot and how interactive some sections are
Thank you!!! I am happy you enjoyed the game!
Everything about this game was amazing. A friend recommended that I try this game; everything from the art to the story got me hooked! I had to create an account to commend the team for creating such a fantastic VN!
Thank you!!! I am happy you enjoyed the game!
HELLO i have decided to create this account to reply how great your game is and i hope you continue developing my favorite parts of the game are definitely the start menu visual and the beginning ost (that ost is so calming and peaceful)
though one thing is that i wouldve liked it more if the horror part is more intense and has actual stake to it
Thank you!!!! We are so happy you enjoyed the game! We sure will keep on updating the game! We kinda rushed the boss fight a bit, would definitely love to enhance it
incredible game, as someone who doesn’t play visual novels often, i was completely sucked in right away!! amazing concept, visuals and execution. it deserves to win that prize sooo much
Yesss, just give us the win!!
<3
Good Game
