It's roughly a 5-minutes VN but it's great entertainment! Quirky story with an ending I didn't see coming. You show how a minimalistic VN when utilised well can be very memorable.

Thank you for your kind words!

This one was cute. I'm rooting for you, washing machine!

An interesting concept! And I genuinely felt kinda sorry for the poor washing machine x3 

SPOILERS

My brother actually has a condition where he can't bring himself to throw away any sorts of objects that have (or had) a use because he feels too bad for them, as though they are alive and would be upset if they knew they were being discarded, so this made me think of him!

Also, I was quite glad that the washing machine got a happy ending ultimately :3 I was once cornered by an actor at a scare attraction that looked a bit like the swallowed items creature xD The actor's costume was made entirely of different odd bits of clothing all sewn together, hehe. I think the face part of the costume was a tea cosy x3

Wow, I bet your brother would like this little tale, then!

And I would be scared to death if such a monster cornered me in an scary ride XDD

Oh, that dude did more than just corner me xD He kinda embraced me from behind when I was trying to eat my dinner on a bench in the food area, haha. Then he tried to pull my devil hairclips out, and then he started making really weird sexual grunting noises in my ear while rubbing his knitted hands all over my face >.< It was possibly the creepiest experience I've ever had with a scare actor in my life! Which means the person did their job exceptionally well, haha. To this day, I don't think an actor has ever made me feel so disturbed xD

I've recommended it to my brother, but the chances of him actually reading it are pretty slim, sadly :( I cannot for the life of me get him into visual novels! Especially not now that he's absorbed in Far Cry 6!

Ahora ya sé por qué desaparecen mis medias... hora de darle cariño a la lavadora. XD
Pensé que sería una metáfora, pero no, es una lavadora... al menos pudo liberarse! Nice.

XD las lavadoras también merecen un poco de cariño!

Fun and original concept for a story! Makes you wonder what other objects think about and plan. Very imaginative. -M
