spoiler warning ahead
I just wanted to say this is a really good game, and I love the art style. My first playthrough, when I found the mirror maze, I activated hard mode and beat it first try in hard mode! And the description of the ending reflected this too which was awesome. And, during the 8 lives remaining ending, i guessed the word first try no mistakes without using the hint.
My favorite endings in this game would have to be ERROR, and the dog park ending (Which I got in my first cycle, beating every quick time event!), although I was a bit disappointed, I had to give into leaving, I wanted to persist just to spite the voice telling me to leave!.
Really good work here!
Also, I'm still left without an ending, but I don't plan on removing all my work it took to escape IT and defeat it for once just to see every ending. I'd rather let the souls rest.

Thank you for your thoughtful exploration of the game!
I'm glad you enjoyed the hard mode in the mirror maze! I wanted a little challenge in the game, but not everyone likes a bunch of gameplay in visual novels so I made hard mode optional. The ERROR and dog park endings were fun to write since they're meant to make you feel like you're doing something you shouldn't that messes with world in the game -- making IT take notice and start speaking to you more directly.
Thank you for trying out the game, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
