OMG, Lotus! So honored to be your fave rn, like seriously, this made my day!! (*≧▽≦) I’ve been a bit swamped working on the upcoming patch (stay tuned!), so I hopped on late, but your comment was SUCH a sweet surprise.
I’m so hyped that you love the lore! Not gonna lie, I was low-key nervous about it during the initial dev phase. Yandere games tend to lean hard into straight-forward tropes, so I wasn’t sure how y’all would vibe with our twists. Super curious about your theories and analysis— spill the tea, pls! I’m basically making a time capsule in the comments, so when the full release drops, we can look back and see who was right/wrong.
Our composers are gonna be THRILLED to hear you’re loving the main menu theme! Same here— it’s such a vibe-setter.

Ahh, Shyloh supremacy!! He’s my ultimate bias too (Helios is a close second, tho). Fun fact: Shyloh kinda got spoiled with all the game assets we made for him, LOL And yesss, his route dives DEEP into his, uh… let’s call it “unhealthy obsession.” Like, if someone sees you as their creator, it’s gonna mess up the dynamics of affection— it’s not love-love; it’s more worshipper/creator vibes. But here’s the big Q: How does it play out? What roadblocks will there be until they can be equal to one another?
Oof, about the Sev comment— ugh, my heart! I’ve seen that feedback a lot, and not gonna lie, it’s made me a little anxious about coming on here sometimes. (Not calling you out or anything, just venting a bit! <3) It’s tricky, cause most yandere/psych horror games on itch don’t have an established MC, so players just project themselves. With Sev, it’s easy to pin the blame on her when things go sideways. I mean, if you were kidnapped into a sus world and a pixie was all, “You’re my creator!”—you’d be side-eyeing them too. And at the time, the heroes hadn’t done anything super violent, unlike Shyloh, who, y’know, choked Helios. And Rosario shapeshifting?? Yeah, if folks missed the Merka x Rosario dialogue, they’d be scratching their heads like, “Do we trust Shyloh?!”. But ngl, bias is REAL (me included, lol), and I’m working on addressing the feedback— I totally get why everyone’s got their faves, though. However, Sev’s trauma and character quirks/growth make her unique, though, so I hope y’all grow to love her too! <33
On Kai— YES, my dude messed up big time, and now he’s not the leader. But like… can you guess why? Any spicy theories? As for the veil… it’s a big deal in some routes, so I’m laying groundwork for it in the common route. It’s symbolic too! Look up the theological meaning of putting on/removing a veil, hehe~ It’s gonna hit hard later. As for Kai, a lot of folks are linking “silent” with “safe,” but… babes, read the TWs fr XD
Helios, well, let’s just say he’s not as psycho as the others. He’s arrogant and a total pompous jerk sometimes, but he’s got a purpose. The big Q is: What’s his endgame?
Yulen and Adonis, tho… absolute chaos duo, I swear! It comes at the cost of Sev being totally obliterated and turned into an Ehsas milking machine, but hey, they’re living their best lives. Truth vs. lies is a HUGE theme for Yulen— like, is he always honest, or is he playing the long con? No in-between. As for Rosario training him… let’s just say that one has some, um, spicy undertones (tho he end up going HOMP CHOMP mode).
Also, Rosario’s shapeshifting? Galaxy-brain levels of mind games (and more brain rot for me LOL). He could shapeshift normally, like with Shyloh, or claim he’s shapeshifting when he’s not. Or someone else could SAY they’re shapeshifted Rosario— it’s endless chaos, and I live for it.
Thank you so much for your love and support! Can’t wait for you to play the upcoming patch. I’m dying to see your theories and analysis. Let’s keep this hype train rolling~
