FIrst of all, a huge shoutout to the dev Chattercap for her extra effort to make sure that the Linux build works! It's super appreciated!!

Also I'm super impressed to have all the accessibility features coded and functioned well in this VN. I believe I read somewhere that it's all coded from scratch in Godot engine? How much the dev cares of all of these touched me. ;;-;;

(the following will write about the game, may contain spoiler)

It has a very intriguing premise. In honesty, I'm not familiar with the myth it's inspired from (and now I want to learn more about it) but the more I progress, the more I felt the uneasiness creep on the back of my head. This is beautifully unsettling. I wanted to explore deeper into the Doctor's darkest heart. With the premise of abusive relationship, I wanted to see how far it could go. 

Yumeko is very intriguing. Having a peek into non-human mind is super interesting for me, and this is one unique story that touches an under-explored 'what-if'. I really like it.

Each ending had its own flavour, and it was great to unlock each of them.

(For note: I'm able to safely explore all of this in fiction like this since I don't think I'll be able to handle this anywhere else, obviously. So, thank you for this amazing VN! It's so well-done!)

For the VN itself: Chattercap's beautiful art and writing is always a treat to have!! ^^ The VN itself is well done and coded (details above the spoiler mark). One last but not least thing: the Voice Actings!! I was confused of the multiple narrators voices, only at the very end I realised that the multiple narrators are actually an essential part of the story-telling. This VN would have been so much different (and perhaps lacking) without the voice actors! Everyone did a fantastic job in it!! <3

I'm so looking forward to playing more of your VNs!!

AHHH GOSH thank you for picking it up Kona, I'm so honored that you took the time to play ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’ฆ (And thank you again for checking the Linux build, gosh, it was such a huge help!) FGHFGH YOU'RE TOO KIND, I do want to make sure that the reading experience is as comfortable/enjoyable as possible ๐Ÿ˜ญ

OHH thank you so much!! I'm glad that it was enjoyable even without prior familiarity with the myth, I was rather worried about that ๐Ÿ˜“ and I'm happy that it inspired people to check out the original! ๐Ÿ˜‚

AHHH I'm glad that the vibe was unsettling! I do love horror but I struggle with making things "scary" ๐Ÿ’ฆ this was my first attempt at making a properly "scary" game (I'm not sure if I REALLY succeeded ๐Ÿ’ฆ but at the very least I think it's scarier than Karamu? ๐Ÿ˜‚) I'm also glad that you found Yumeko to be intriguing! While AI is pretty controversial in the world nowadays ๐Ÿคฃ I do find the idea of "robots" and "what it means to be human/conscious" to be quite an interesting question... and a particularly fascinating thing to explore in fiction!

(I'm glad fghfghgf I do explore some edgier/darker topics in my games, but I do hope that people can feel at ease/comfortable while they play!)

OHHHH I am very happy that you noticed the voice actors!! And that it's clear why there are three of them when you get to the endings! (Admittedly it was partially a logistical thing ๐Ÿ˜‚ since I didn't want to burden one VA with too many lines - but I also really wanted to evoke the feeling of a Greek chorus, with each narrator representing one of the three endings!) The VA wasn't planned at the start but I am so glad that I added it (and found such talented and wonderful people to work with), I don't think it would have been half as good with their contributions.

Thank you again for playing, Kona!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ And for taking the time to comment, it really means so much to me!
