Much like the other comments, Dokuro is now bestie and I loved the banter and interaction! Thoroughly enjoyed the story and hope to see more!

Dokuro is my new best friend!! I busted out laughing at the naked distraction the most but I found myself cracking up quite a bit in general- though never so much that it overrode the more emotional beats. Don’t feel any obligation to this project, but if you decide to keep rolling with it, I think there’s a lot to explore- there’s so much promise here!

Thank you! I 100% will be continuing development on this game >:3

very very very big sucker for vee. pls route soon.

I was really captivated by the unique personalities and takes each character had on the MC's situation at hand, and the setups for jokes felt natural in both the setting and the story as this takes a more light-hearted view on the theme and incorporates it in a playful way to everyone involved. Loved both the bright colors and dark tones in use, such an eye-catching work!! There's a personal touch to every aspect in this game and it feels like a fun adventure with a friend.

Vee route is now a priority >:3
I'm glad you enjoyed!

The whole thing is quite intriguing and I can't deny that Dokuro's design is pretty damn cool. There's clearly a big world here that has a lot of potential, and for a game made in one night, it's pretty good!

However, I need to say that the warning for "suicide mentions" doesn't really feel enough for me, considering how big of a part it ultimately plays here. When a character is actively talking about how they don't want to go back to the world of living and the opening scene is, in a way, musings of a suicidal person, it does go a bit beyond that.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I've added more to the game description, and when the voting is over i'll look how it may be  adding a warning in game as well ^-^

Dokura, skeleton boy my beloved!! This was so fun and goofy, I had a great time with it! I also concur with the comment below me, Vee route when? I barely met her but I love her already

Developer(+1)

Yay! I will be adding Vee route as soon as possible >:)

Great game! Vee when?

Developer

All the visual elements in My Escape to Hell (BGs, GUI, sprites) cohere extraordinarily well, and of course special mention must go to the sprite work. I was expecting to be able to follow a path with Vee or the Cosmodeus, but Dokuro’s banter is sharp enough that I didn’t miss the others once his path got rolling. Light and morbid is always a good combination, and My Escape to Hell very much delivers on that front. 

Developer

Thank you so much, i'm glad to hear that everything worked well together ! I intended to write out paths for them but ran out of time ; they'll definitely be implemented in the future  >:)

I really loved the 3 characters art style! But you really draw them + wrote the story in one night???

An idea : When the 3 characters are on screen, it would be easier to remember their names from start if it was written below them when they speak and not always on the left. The dialogues may also look like a bit more dynamic? (But I've never used ren'py, don't know if it's easy to tweak or not)

Developer

I wrote and finished all art the night before, I began working on ideas at the beginning of the jam! Time got away from me and I had to squish all the actual work in one night ;-;

Good to know! I'll look into designing a UI like that once the jam is all wrapped up >:) thank you so much for your feedback!

You're insane for pushing out as much as you did in such a short span of time. The comedy is great and really sells the dysfunctional friendgroup vibes perfectly! Dokoro, lovely Dokoro, the naked distraction gag was hilarious. I gotta respect those FNAF and Sally Face posters as well. UuU

Developer

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed >:) love to see that you caught the poster references as well!! ^-^

This was so fucking funny, just peak comedic writing! Very fun premise and I honestly got really attached to Dokuro, they’re such a sweetheart <3 And you made this in like a day??? That’s crazy… I really loved this!

I absolutely think you should add some screenshots to the game page btw!

Developer(+1)

YAYYY THANK YOU SO MUCH TvT 
I will 100% be adding screenshots yes ! I had some before but they were like 2 pixels big lolll i gotta replace them >:) 

Thank you again i'm so happy you enjoyed!
