This was really cute in an unsettling kinda way. Def recommend to anyone who likes their visual novel with a slice of romance and murder. Dog was a delight, and so were all the aberrant. Interesting story that left me with lots of questions, and I both love and hate that. Each character was different from the other which really sells a good story. Awesome voice acting.
The text that shows up when you visit each place in the house get's a little repetitive. I love the hunt function but it seems like the death percentage is a little high? I assume that's a feature lol. Love the music that plays when you do the dog food thing and whenever you need to "prepare" a victim for the aberrant. The dad character is super creepy, but it was interesting to see him portrayed both as a bit of the villain, and also as a person who cares for you.
I also love getting different text. If you don't kill anyone sometimes the text is different with conversations and endings, and if you don't meet Dog the text is different there too. Lots of attention to detail and love for this game.
I hope you get more votes/comments! <3
Thank you for playing!
Originally the hunt minigame was supposed to have a 50-50 chance of killing you, but it seemed that whenever I tested it, the random chance never worked properly and always let me live (I never died in the testing phase, not once, I had to change the programming to force it to send me down the route to be killed). So I tried to change it but it seems I ended up making the chance to die more of a 70-30 hahaha. I haven't decided if I want to change it because it does make sense for the chance to be killed in a town infested with monsters to be higher than normal.
I appreciate you took the time to play the game! :D
The atmosphere and writing were great! It really got me to care about the aberrant and who they are.
What an incredible gem of a game. Loved every minute!
