WHATTTT THANKYOU?? I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience! This is actually kinda crazy LMAO. I've still yet to decide on what to work on next, but I'll def take everyones interest into account!!! (´꒳`)♡

This game was right up my alley, I really waited until i was truly free to fully immerse myself into the story, and WOW was it worth it. Hooked right from the start, Arthur is such an interestingly written character, it was so fun trailing along with him as we uncovered more of the story. (that reveal by part 5- goosebumps) I'm happy we also got a little glimpse into what happened afterwards, was really bittersweet!

The photography element / mini game you added worked so well to draw up the suspense I did kinda stress out hoping not to see a sudden face in a corner LMAO.  Was really effective!

Truly well executed! I adore your art and writing, excited to jump right into the next entry when I'm free!!  (ง ื▿ ื)ว

Thank you for the feedback Chellin! Happy to hear you enjoyed it

Thank youuu so much for playing! Also dying at the 'blah blah blah proper name place name' LMAOO

Really glad to hear you enjoyed it! (´꒳`)♡

AAAAA! Thank you!! I'm super happy to hear you enjoyed the experience! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the experience ♡

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the experience! (´꒳`)♡ And I agree, Ryan did such an amazing job!

Initially I snuggled into a blanket and made some soup to relax and play, only to end up pacing in my room at like 3 am.

I kid you not, I've never scrumpt WHAT so many times during a VN play through in my life, the pacing of this story kept me hooked and the tense moments got me SWEATINGGG. It felt like binge-watching a show; I could not stop. Every time a new (GORGEOUS) CG popped up like a shiny gem I felt blessed, admiring the compositions, the colors and the little details, ARGHHH ITS JUST *punches air* SO GOOD. (I can't even pick a CG favourite bc they're all so!!!!!! Wow!)

I haven't even gotten to the story yet, and I won't. I'm not spoiling a single thing. Just, you know these silent book reviews? so like, *spins around, stomps, wails, flails arms, cries, pulls hair* man I was so engrossed in this world and it's inhabitants. (also! geeking out with Dove over the magic system!!!)

Also when hunting down endings I was so happy to notice little changes in the main menu, I'm a sucker for these little things. No spoilers, but like, once you reach a certain point and check the main menu,,, GOODNESS. HELLO? HAHAHA. AH.AHHA. WOW. HI??? 

Also, the good ending?? Just looking at the CG makes me TEAR UP. And the true ending? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. 

Okay but like the characters. THE CHARACTERSSSS. I love Dove and Basil so much, I love Dove's design, I love her complexities and how she navigates her complicated relationships and feelings with Basil by her side. Basil's helplessness is conveyed so well by him being a wolf. (LET ME HELP HERRR HOLD HERRR SAY ITS GONNA BE ALRIGHT AHHHHHHH) 

Also, that protection spell. Just. My heart.

BTW The character designs themselves like,,,, I could write an entire essay. (The Witch?? The mother??? The (TRUE ENDING REDACTED) hehehe) And. The GHOSTS? Their designs convey tidbits of who they were so so well and they're so iconic. So recognisable from their silhouettes,,, truly in awe.

I do be yapping, but words truly don't do Dicentra justice. I had such a wonderful time playing this game, I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for the experience, props to you and the team! Super excited for any future titles! ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝

What a charming lil' fella, him and the MC truly share one brain-cell I LOVE THEMMM! The sprite is so pretty too! I love how the speech bubble reflected their emotions.

fangtastic/10. Was a pleasure to sink my teeth into. Quite the grave situation he finds himself in. Been dying to meet him. (so on and so forth) ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

HEHE TYTY MOONIE!!! Also I'm so glad the storybook aspect came through because that was the goal!!! I'm really happy you enjoyed the experience! ♡(>ᴗ•)

THANKYOUUUU so much for the kind words Konayachi! I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

THANK YOU SO MUCH GERT! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience! (´꒳`)♡ also you unedit this comment at ONCE! Lol jokes aside I had to doodle your comment LMAOO

THNAKYUOU Chime! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it! (´꒳`)♡

WHAOH! Thank you so much for your kind words!!?? I'm so happy to hear that it resonated with you! I'm at a loss of words really,,, I really loved your entry as well! THANK YOY!!!!

(´,,•ω•,,)♡

Thank you so much for taking the time to play, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!  ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝ *: ･ﾟ

I've actually looked into the particle effect, but I worried that trying it for the first time at the last minute might cause issues, as my initial attempts usually go. It would have definitely made the scene that much more magical! 

Hopefully I'll have another chance to implement it in the future, thanks again! ♡

I can't fix him, but I can make sure we have a damn good time LMAOOO

This was so fun! The voice actor did a wonderful job, and the music really sets the perfect please-dont-kill-me-wait-you're-hot mood. The art is really pretty (the!!!sprite!+++!!) 

Great work, props to you and the team! ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝

What a charming game! Your art style compliments slice-of-life stories so well! The background and sprite were very pretty to look at, it was cute seeing her scuttle around the room. The banana line SENTTT MEEE LMAOOO she's so real and deserves all the ice cream in the world! ♡

I!! LOVE!! YOUR MYTHOLOGICAL!!! STORIES!!!! AHHH!! 

Your writing and wordplay is phenomenal, I still can't believe I can just pull up a chair and enjoy the gut-wrenching show for FREE. The voice actor was also amazing, I could really feel her agony! Again, in love with your ability to spin the story in such a captivating way. Great job! ♡

Somebody give that poor angel a hug! I felt so bad for my actions, but I really wanted to explore all endings _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):_ Just proves that the writing was really effective! The reveal by the third ending completely shocked me, but I was so happy to be able to help! 

Amazing work, well done! ❤

THANKYOUTHANKYOYTHANKYUOU!!!!

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the experience! Honestly writing Shavil and MC is so fun, I wouldn't mind expanding this story or exploring the past, so maybe? Anyhoo, THANKS AGAIN! (´꒳`)♡ 

Hello? Wow? Where do I even?? begin? 

The level of polish within the Jam's time frame is absolutely insane! The story hooks you right off the bat, the UI and theme is so pretty (I love the dreamy pastels!), and the ART!!!! WOW!ZA!! 

Heart cheeks Cupid will be the death of me. That ending left me asking for moreeee RAHH punching the AIR rn

Amazing work, props to the team! Excited to see any future releases! ♡(>ᴗ•)

This was such a fun format to interact with! The texting and video call aspect drew me in, but I was absolutely oblivious to the roller coaster ride I was signing into. I LOVED what we could glean from the story, and that just made the ending hit harder. I loved getting to know Felix (he's such a cutie!!!) and Tamara's colleagues! The voice actor did a phenomenal job, and the artstyle- just, wow. The sprites are absolutely GORGEOUS. Amazing work! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

AA A THANK YOU! so much! for the kind words, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the experience! I also love the line 'reducing, reusing and reanimating' LMAO,, also double-thank-you for the html tip! I'll def try it out! ♡

Thank you so much for the kind words!!! I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience. I had to choose what to prioritise due to the word limit so I'm relieved to hear it being cohesive!  ♡

Thank you for playing, glad to hear you enjoyed it! ♡

THANKYOUUU SM!!!! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! I'd love to expand this universe, I found that I really do enjoy writing dark fantasy.

Thanks again! (´• ω •`) ♡

The Aching Maw? More like my aching jaw. On the floor. Because this game is just!!! DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! The thematic red atmosphere and ticket-UI (the UI!! I'm obsessed!!!) helps draw you in towards the show, that is, the back-and-forth between the stranger and the painter. The camera movements and direction are really impressive, the sound design is really well done, and the music is just *chefs kiss*. 

Props to the team, thank you for engrossing me in such a rich world! 

(ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

Lenora is so silly and so real and eloquent and lovely and I LOVED the banter between her and the guard!I love the pixel-y art vibe as well, the UI format you chose compliments the story! And that final sprite,,,,, SHES SO!!! CUTE!!! Amazing job!♡

THANK!!!!YOUY!!! SM?! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to play my game ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊

AAAAAAAA TYTYTYTYT! IM SO GLAD TO HEAR YOU ENJOYED IT SAMMIE!!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

ask and ye shall (one day mayhaps?) receive!

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! (´꒳`)♡

What a wonderful and heartwarming game! I was rooting for Cali the whole time, and when the confession scene happened it was so cute to see him get so flustered! The extra was so adorable as well, and I loved seeing the scenes from Maples perspective! I also wanted to mention that seeing Mrs. Peregrine in that shawl added ten years to my life. She's so cute, I love her!!!

The art-style and CG's were absolutely adorable (the hug scenes!!! I couldn't get enough!!!!) and the UI is so pretty! 

Amazing work! (´꒳`)♡

Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! (´ ω `♡)

Thank you so much! ♡

Yippeee, thank you so much! 

I'm super happy to hear you enjoyed the experience! I'm also glad to hear you enjoyed the experimental style, it was so fun to work on the characters of the other realm! (´꒳`)♡

Thank you for taking the time to play my game! I'm really glad to hear that you've enjoyed the experience! 

In regards to Ajay, while I was worried that I'd stretched it a bit too long at the start, I still wanted to introduce the player to the dynamic of their friendship and the normality of life before tossing them into the darkness, so I'm really glad to hear that! 

♡ ～('▽^人)

Hello, and thank you very much for the insightful feedback! It was interesting looking at my game under a critical lens (˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ (And yes, I did watch the whole thing haha, it wasn't awkward and you were clear! I'll have to check out the games in the links sometime.) 

I'm also really flattered to hear you enjoyed the art! ( still processing that someone would buy an art book/ zine (just looked that up) wowowow) I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere and experience. Thanks again! ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝

(although I may be slow to respond since uni work piling up, feel free to approach me on twitter/discord!)

Wow, what a wild ride. The more I played the more I got sucked into this world! The bg, sprite and chibi art were delightful! (The CG'S TOO!! GORG!) + (The Casey bird feeding MC doodle will be in my nightmares). The music was absolutely bangerrrr (especially when Jude is on screen!) Props to the voice actors too! ('daddy issues' absolutely knocked me out LMAO) The MC's desperation when nearing the bad endings, Casey's obsessive adoration, Remy's stoic yet soft demeanour, and Leon's playful flirting arghhh they all conveyed the characters so well!!!!

The four love interests themselves were so entertaining, but I have to give props to the Leon and Casey route. That route was absolutely hilarious, I loved the banter between the two! (I also thoroughly enjoyed Jude/Casey and Jude/Remy routes, close seconds!). If I had to choose one favourite, It'd have to be Remy. His design is just *chefs kiss*. That library date was so sweet, and it was so cute seeing him go soft! (well, after getting over the messed up, uh... cough master-vessel-situation cough)

Amazing job for the polished work, team! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
