AGH this made my head spin, both with the kaleidoscope effect and the content! I think it was a really good way to visually represent how the demon's words are warped and manipulative, twisting the concept of "love" into "hate." I always love playing your works; they're so puzzling and dreamlike and yet very thought-provoking at the same time? Even though I'm not sure what's going on, the emotions are communicated very clearly! While at first I agreed with the demon - "love" being "wanting to find something to love" as opposed to "wanting to be loved," as they continued to speak the story became more and more warped, ending on quite the twisted ending indeed! "If she can I hate then I can love..." how ominous! Quite the warped "parent-child" love...It makes me even more excited to see Act 2 of Melancholic Star! (Poor Lily...)

The song was perfectly chosen, melodic and pleasant to hear while still sounding a little "off." I am simply in AWE of your use of the background to reflect the emotions and all of the different text effects! You do such a great job of incorporating the words into the visual storytelling, even with a limited format like O2A2!

This was simply stunning and a joy to play!! Fantastic work!

All the play testing also made my head spin!! Haha, thank you Chatter! Happy to hear that you liked the experience (and my weird approach to storytelling).  

I wanted it to be a little bit like "oh, they are telling me a little Story" -> "oh, they are talking about someone… themselves? Anyway this is personal" -> "You know that makes sense" -> "Wait… are they manipulating me?" -> "Ok, they are twisting things but I don't know if I can say that they are lying AHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh"

The song got ingrained in my mind, the "bugged" version!! Like I'm humming it and then it gets stuck in a 1s loop like in the little ""jump scares""
