this was so fab!! i came here having finished the deceptively therapeutic turned v chilling and intriguing 'lycoris last words' (which i enjoyed immensely), and just like lycoris the art and energy of this is so immaculate. the UI is gorgeous and i love love love the style and detail of the room+body (handcuffs, roses, bite marks i see you). the music also rlly elevates the energy, i literally stopped several times just to give it a proper listen to.
i was rlly invested in the narrative too and ended up noting down all the choices i made so i could explore all the different dialogue options and possible endings, from the sweeter and more tender choices to the harsher ones, there's this very cloying and claustrophobic sense of doom thats really well done? the more you play the more you realise that its a very enclosed circle of death. i do find it interesting that sometimes when i chose meaner (?) choices, the stranger 'wins'. interesting to ponder whether its bc he noticed smth amiss or if it was out of some fit of rage. (i ended up going thru the whole thing a,,,,,, lot of times LOL). either way excuse this rambley mess of a comment!! im def going to go hunt (haha) down more games done by the ppl involved in this!! (already planned my next stop to be dicentria<3)
