Wonderful game! I love the overall vibe of the game, I wish it could have been just a little bit longer😢. can I try to translate this game into Chinese and share it on the Chinese website? My English is not very good, but I really want to share this game....🥺 thanks for making such a great game 🥺
Thank you so much! I’m really happy you loved the game and appreciate the vibe. It’s awesome that you want to translate it into Chinese! Yes, you can definitely do that ! There is no problems. Thanks again !
A short but really enjoyable game. Opening doors is never this exciting. Thanks to the images, it's not hard to tell who is talking even without name box. Kinda surprised it's not BL tho because bro is obsessed
Thank you for playing, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I ended up putting it in the category , haha!
I wish it was a bit longer but I enjoyed the story and the characters.
I replayed it again with my friend now that we're not running around doing chores!
From what we gathered, Adrian died but we don't know why. We feel like it's kinda implied that he took his own life? Because he did mention about his life being dreadfully boring if he keeps going on the road to being his father's extension/footsteps. Jules was literally his only friend that he felt connected to. He couldn't connect with anyone else. It's interesting that we know he left the country or something with his mother. From what we gathered, Jules couldn't stand his father and tried to exit and follow his dreams by going with his mother. We don't know if it's because the father invested in the half-brother or because Jules is rebelling or something by rejecting Adrian they're rejecting their father.
Now that Adrian is dead, Jules is now tethered to the place near his mansion. We guess that's where he died? Because he talks about nothing belongs to him anymore in that abandoned house. We're thinking Adrian probably died in the basement because of the trapped ending and the tempting the devil. Either way we like this game. Great job. Love it. Surprised it's not BL category. (Sorry not sorry) 8/10 fr. I just wish we can load because sometimes we miss some details and can't go back. We were trying to put the timeline together and we keep forgetting lol.
Tagging along more to this! I was so excited to see my friend replay this again because the first time I saw it, the story and character relationship was so interesting and I wanted to know more so badly. Figuring out the mystery and the story was so good, and I really love the mood that this game puts out.
Hearing and watching Adrian interact with Jules is also what hooked me in and got me attached to these characters, and trying to theorize and find out about them more just got me so TTATT
This was such an enjoyable game! Replaying it was a little hard because of the inability to load where we forgot details, but finding the others endings and the somber vibes of this game was absolutely great. I love these characters and story, I feel so sad for them ): thank you for sharing this game with us!!
Thank you so much for your comment. I’m really happy that you truly focused on the story and tried to understand the subtleties of their relationship because that was my main goal, and every detail was important.
In reality, that’s exactly it. Adrian and Jules were connected and complemented each other. In the living room memory, we understand that the two are also alike because they are shaped by their fathers' expectations (attitude, performance). But Jules distanced himself because he felt overwhelmed by Adrian and everything he was going through. Adrian is intense and seems emotionless, but he tried to reach out every time to Jules (phone calls, letters). Adrian had a dark side he hid from others but Jules could see it (it’s represented by Adrian’s shadow—thin, vulnerable with large, frightened white eyes).
At the graduation ceremony, their paths will diverge. Adrian, forced by his father, and Jules, freed by his mother. Adrian asked him to read the last letter he wrote to him before the end of the summer, but Jules ignored it and didn’t read it in time, and Adrian died in the summer break (before the life his father had planned for him could begin). Whether it was suicide or an accident is unclear, but Jules knows the truth, and that’s why he’s consumed by guilt, even after all these years. That’s why Adrian says that without Jules, he would feel forgotten because he (the real him) exists through Jules's guilt and feelings. In the final ending, 'Heartless,' Adrian tells him that despite everything Jules might have tried, he wins because even after all these years, he still lives somewhere, and he has taken Jules’ heart, so no one else can ever have it.
At first, I wanted to put it in the BL category because of the subtext in the story, but I wasn’t sure if I met the expected criteria for the contest. But I just found out I can edit the page (I thought it was locked until the end of the ratings), so I’ve now placed it in that category haha Thanks again I'm happy you enjoyed !!
