The game is very intriguing, I got to the short end the first time i played in, but then after some exploration I got to the long, good (?) end? Yuri saves the world for sure.
Yuri remakes the world 📢📢📢
Just wanna say the true ending is lit >:D I like the artstyle too, they pretty!
Thank you so much! The true ending was definitely one of our favorite parts to work on
There's only one rule for art: they bride, they pretty🤝
(Spoilers for first-timers of this game) The black-and-white aesthetic brings out the right energy, although it makes viewing the novel a bit difficult for my specific eyes. I did not expect the narrative to create an investigation in my mind, but I found myself piecing together the mystery of the previous sacrifice. I love the poetic injustice and wishing to accept yourself as something society rules as evil when you know it to be false. The overall feel is very solumn. The idea of death being imminent so all you can choose is what principles you stand on when facing your time is a complex head-spinning debate. The message of how women are used as currency ressenates within my soul and travels into my heart. The real monsters are absolutely the people who worship marriage and gods to the point of ending their own children. Lastly, the gays, love them . <3 wonderful job!
I'm really glad you can relate to the situation. We gave the girls a chance to fight back the system, it might not be a happy ending but they definitely made the best out of the worst.
Thank you for your feedback and playing through the game, Tfizzle <3 <3!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the story! I love reading your interpretation of the story and how it has deeply effected you. The River Bride was a joy to write as the setting was based around my fears, and the characters are based around my hopes; and how even in a nightmare situation, there is still hope and love that can be found.
The art is very nice, very "vintage manga" "Goth twist" sort of thing.
Thank you! That was the vibe we were going for
I'm a sucker for this kind of setting. I love the art. I wanted to get the true ending at first try so I used the guide as reference. Suyu is my goat.
Underwater girls let’s gooo
Another point for Suyu *takes note*
LETS GO LESBIANS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Loved the story and the characterization of Fu Xuyu, I had so much fun exploring the different endings!
Wow thanks for playing! Suyu is a complicated character ahead of her time, and hence the struggle. I'm glad you like her.
I really love the art and the story is really nice. I loved the build up to the ending!
Thank you <3!!!
Lovely art, and it was fun to get all the endings! We definitely need more yuri in this kind of setting!
Thanks for the support!
