i tried this out as fast as i could once I noticed there was another new one of your games! and needless to say, you aced this one too! Even short, it still gave me the kind of fitting unease and horror realization of the true and second end, what with the changing title screens, instilling creeps (it didn't help that i played this basically by myself in dark...) the morse code was a little thing fun to decode too, and huanlan got my interest real quick (he reminded me of certain someone with his eyes-covered bangs <3) with other chatacters got my curiousity piqued indeed... It was certainly interesting to get to know your new characters, and their designs were cool! I would love to play some more another addition to this one (does this have a potential of a series, I wonder?) And maybe this is just a thought, but I think you should put the specific warning of eyes thingy horror element (idk how to exactly define it) because it does disturb me a bit with their many amounts and everything (lol imagine my surprise when first encountering the title and save screen).

Putting the main points aside, I do learn some.. I guess words, though I'm still not really sure, like the word necrosis/necrose (I think in this game it refers to like demonic entities?) Your inspiration for the title name (I searched for the word metem but got metempsychosis instead so) and some characters' names.. I would appreciate some enlightenment on them.

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MANEDZA! I can’t even begin to explain my giddiness omg, the fact that you’re so willing to play my games, no matter how short, is so humbling, seriously 🥺 ALSO, SUPER HAPPY THE GAME WAS A LIL SPOOKY ^^ Huanlan is a cute little rat, right?? When I was planning a cameo for one of my friend’s OC’s, I chose him, since he’s connected with the same universe we made owo (I’ll let her know you like him!) And I was actually mentioning that to my friends, too, on whether or not I should continue 🤔 I’m still thinking about it! But you’re right, oops- I should’ve added a warning for the eyes and stuff, but I didn’t wanna label it as trypophobia? I’ll look more into what term I should use for it!

Actually, some of these words are made up by me! A Necrocite, for example, is just a play on “necro” (meaning death). “Necrosis” is a medical term, which refers to the death of cells or tissues. You’re also spot on with the title! The main word is “Metempsychosis”, which is the belief that after death, you’ll reincarnate as the same species in a different body (the rest being self-explanatory).

Ah, the names! Let’s start with our MC, Lailael. Her name is meant to sound angelic, in a way, since it ends with -el. “Lala” was supposed to imitate singing. As for Theou, I just thought it sounded like a holy name for an older man 😌 Whew, okay, Xia’nefasus- he actually got the “Xia” part from the woman that took care of him, since when he was still small and couldn’t speak, he could only make noises like “sha”. The “nefasus” part was later added by him, which is a play on a Latin word, meaning “wrongful” or “sinful”

Well, it can't be helped that your works are great in narrative, inspiring and/or rich meaningful! Keep it up! Trypophobia I searched, does include discomfort for disturbing imagery of eyes, and there's also related phobia like ommetaphobia, which is the fear of eyes. Though of course, can't be too sure of them myself to use which warning. The make-up names are kinda punny creative though! Lailael and theou fit the religious theme too, but the Xia part? That's actually.. cute? *Sigh* he does a good job on his role in stirring me some mixed feelings for him. Oh what about the twins and his apostle? (I think Nazriel..? Excuse my goldfish memory), are those also referencing oc's of your friends, then?

I decided to settle on Ommetaphobia, since the phobia covered “multiple eyes”, so thank you for letting me know to tag that warning, Manedza! 😌 I’m glad you like the names, though! Oooh, yeah, I didn’t give the names of the twins, but the brother (he belongs to my OC), is named Cyrus! I’d have to ask her the meaning of his name. The sister, who’s my OC, is named Cyna. She’s a water/storm goddess, so I wanted her name to sound similar to her brother’s, but also like “sea”.

Also, close! It’s Kazriel owo I chose “Kaz” because I’ve seen so many demonic characters with similar names, and I wanted it to conflict with the “-el” in his name, which is also supposed to be angelic! He’s a very… Interesting man 😂
