Hello again! It's me with more rpg maker stuff... Probably a lil buggy because I was rushing but it is beatable.
Honestly the out of control theme is pretty vague in this one and mostly story related, oops. I think I did a better job at implementing my optional theme, 'from the other side' better.
Oh, and no dev room this time :[ Ran out of time.
Still, hope you enjoy!

Another gem from Monty. The art and story are spectacular as always, and the atmosphere is great.
I didn't find any bugs, great job!
I think the out of control theme does fit in somehow.
The game recognized that I had a previous save file from the dollhouse, but sadly, I overwrote it by mistake. The statue being vandalized reminds me of the "FAKE GOD" Superman. When someone says they don't have any hobbies, I imagine them standing in an empty room, staring directly at a wall until they have work to do.
I like the portrayal of angels here. Usually, they’re mindless drones that hate you the second you think differently, but here they’re pretty compassionate. Sometimes, people feel empty because they don’t have a purpose, and something will always try to fill that void. Obsession over someone is a cheap way to get happy. We’re not machines without context—the way we achieve things is important because it builds who we are.
But I did like the way Samir achieved his love. He had to sacrifice everything and fight for what he believed in, and that takes a lot of courage. I can respect that. In my opinion, angels and demons are supposed to represent selflessness versus selfishness, with humans being a blend of both. Samir, despite getting "crazy," still had that elegance and respected Cami's freedom, instead of the "you will be mine even if you don’t want to" vibe.
No developer room, sad!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this one ^^ And man I totally agree with you on the Angel thing- I get WHY they are often portrayed as antagonistic, or at least single-minded zealots, but I am very bored of that potrayal so I wanted to make angels who were more than that. It was one of the things I wrote down for the Dev Room that I had to dummy out because I ran out of time 😭 Ah well, I'm planning on putting it back in for the downloadable version at least.
