:CCCCCC why did this make me sad? :C Congrats on your first game! It was short but good! 😁 And the main point of the story was really sad :c but I like to think, just like the horse, that everything is better somehow. At least, I want to hope so.

I admit the sprites of the animals look weird at first 😅 but, after a while, they look really sweet 🥹🥰 especially the expressions they make when they are sad, angry or sorry. I think it adds the emotions to the dialogue they are saying. ^^

hellooo!! I finally had the time to play Act 2 so I wanted to leave my comments about it! ^^

• I don’t think I’ve said this before but the backgrounds being just outlines with just a few color shades, really fits the style of the sprites and the whole aesthic of the game. I’m not saying a full detailed, full-color bg would’ve been a bad choice but… idk, I guess it reminds of manga panels so, it’s a plus for me :D

• Val looks specially cute during this trip!! <3 I really love his outfit :D!! So cute!!! <333

SPOILERS AHEAD

• I like that we know why Donna acts likes that with Val, I mean, if I didn’t know anything, I would’ve said that she’s being unfair because she doesn’t even know him and she’s already judging him harshly.

But knowing what happened, it’s like… I totally understand why she feels the way she does with Val. Even though, that’s no excuse to treat Dashiell the way she does >:( It does feel like she looks at him as if he were her doll. Or more like, a MOM feeling like she can control her son however she wants (which is worse 🫠🫠). Acting like she knows what’s best for him even tho he’s an adult himself. like, I get where she’s coming from tho. totally valid. but still, he’s an adult. he can make decisions by himself. be them good or bad.

• Oh boy, when Dashiell said he got a plan to matchmake Donna with Val it was like…..oh boy, you don’t know what you are doing. bless your innocence but oh boy, this is NOT gonna end well.

• I know we met Saturday in Act1 but in think her character shines more in this Act. She’s the first one to say it out loud: “I don’t like Donna” bc she’s right! It’s Dashiell’s boss in the end, so to be bestfriends with her and how much he idolize her since he was a high-schooler, it’s like… it’s still your boss. And that she has so much control over him (in a job and emotionally as well) could be a huge DANGER if she just changes her mind :// Such a clever way to see how dangerous was that, was like “damn, Saturday, you are spot on!!!”

• Also, she was like: “if she does something bad to Dashiell, we kill her” and Lupine was like “ok. count me in.” XDDDDD

• The scene with Lupine and Dashiell with the piano :’((( I 100% understand where he comes from when he says “don’t think. that’s bad”. and when he cried, it was like…. :‘c Man, no, don’t cry :ccc

And then,

• Donna pulled a gun on Val out of fucking nowhere, what the heck is going on?!!!! 😨😨

• Val was so right to tell her that shooting him right there would’ve been SO traumatic for Dashiell, after what happened with his parents like, holy shit– i’m glad she didn’t do it in the end but WOAH

• we finally see Val in vampire form!!! woah! 😁 so now, Dashiell knows the truth!!!! (well, not everything but the main point that he’s a vampire!!) 😌😌

• also, just to be sure, are Dashiell and Lupine trans guys?????? bc if so <33333333 🥰🥰🥰

so these are all my comments!! ^^ This Act2 is really where we see how the plot thickens!!! 🤔🤔 there IS a contrast between Act1 and Act2! You were right on that, haha!!😁 It was a pleasure to read this Act2 too! What’s gonna happen now that Donna has decided to look for her “friends”? Hmmm. 🤔

thank you-

Hi!! i wanted to try out Act 2 but i didn’t want to be confused, so i decided to play Act 1 to understand the storyline :o!

the good thingssssss:

• i love this vintage shoujo manga art style! it just makes me feel like i’m reading an actual shoujo manga from many many years ago! i honestly love it! ^^ and i think it fits the story as well!!!
• i love the dialogues!!! the conversation between characters are really so sweet and it does make you care for them ; v ;
• the power of friendshipppppp!!!!! i’m sorry i just love how everyone care about each other <3 especially knowing this-important-thing about you-know-who 😞😓
• i like how the protagonist really do care about his clients and his friends and i understand why people feel comfy with him talking about their feelings c:
• i really like how in the beginning it’s not really clear if he’s really a vampire or just playing the act of being vampire (like a dom with a vampire setting). but then i realized that he can be both :p
• and yes! it was a good thing that i read this Act first. i don’t think i would’ve understand Act 2 without this previous context xD

now, here are some things that i believe could be improved:

• i think this is a bit obvious but….it really was a trouble having to download the game from an external site 😵😔 usually, people don’t download games from an external site because it’s suspicious! it may be a virus! fortunately, this did not happen with this game ^^! but i STRONGELY suggest you to make the game available for download here on itchio itself! i know there’s a 1GB limit here but i believe that if you decide to do this change, it’ll become easier for ppl to play the game and it’ll give players a sense of security as well :D
• i know it’s a kinetic novel but……i felt like you could use more the visuals of the game. at certain points, it felt as if the images didn’t help the dialogues between characters. like, the conversation is interesting but then i looked at the characters and they were just standing there…. like, i feel like the visuals should help the story and not be left out of the narrative c:
• i’m not sure if this is a bug but when i tried to save, it only saved the date and hour of the game, but no screenshot :S
• the font-type of the story wasn’t really that much of my liking :c maybe this is just me but it was a bit of pain reading with this font-type 😟 still, i could read it all but i had to get my eyes used to it at first xP

i think these are all my suggestions ^^

overall, i liked this game!! ^^ it left me with a sense of being cared and listened when you see how everyone treat each other <3 and to see how Val treats with care people around him, it’s nice seeing this <3

i think that is all! byeeeee ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I also enjoyed watching the video!! ^^ THANK YOU so much!!

Thanks to you, I’ve decided to make a walkthrough of the game!! So if people are having trouble getting an ending, there’s a guide now that will help them!! ^^

AGAIN! Thank youuuu!!! :D

Hello! Sorry for the late reply!! And thank you for playing it!! ^^

I’ve made a WALKTHROUGH of the game to get all 3 endings, so please, check it out! ^^

The artstyle is so cuteeee!! It’s the first thing that drew me to this game, and the GUI was cute as well! ^^

It’s a funny, relatable short game about making friends and I have to say that my favorite ending was Benji!!! His voice is marvelous!! and srsly, he’s just not “very rich”, he’s a freaking millionaire!!! bc he even has his personal butler??? NO WAY.

also, it was fun picking the mean choices, especially with Drusilla XD I just left her on her own the moment we were about to get robbed lmao xDD BUT! ALSO! The part when we suddenly get kidnapped????? what was that??? we got kidnapped to have a tea party with a strange man???? that was a bit dark tbh :o!!

overall, i liked it ^^ the VA was RLLY good and it made the game a pleasure!! also, the narrator is such a bully >:c

Hello! ^^ thank you for playing!!

There is something going on there, hehehe…!

[To get End 2, you need to search with the hand all over the screen, even if the hand goes a bit down off screen. Try touching the part of the ‘table’, and when you get a “…” notif, then you are close!]

Again, thank you so much for playing it!! ^^

BIGGEST YEAAAAAAAHH BOOOOOIIII!! truly a bro squad!! this was so funny!!! awesome game!! :D

i was afraid to read this story bc i’m still traumatized by soundless (⚰️ im dead) but this story was really sweet and cute!! <3 and the camera effect really adds to the story!! ^^ (also the gui looks awesome!! even in the android version, it looks great!!)

thank u!!! 😊 I love reading people’s interpretations of this little story, so thank u so much!!! ^^ I don’t want to confirm or deny anything bc then ppl won’t give me their thoughts about it and i love reading them!! 😤 haha xD

oh my god!! thank you so much!!! 🤗🥺

For a couple of minutes, I had absolutely NO idea what the heck I was doing. I was just shooting squares out of my ass i guess??? xD But then I read the devlog. THEN, I got it. Maybe you should put what is this game about here in the front page bc I seriously had no idea xDD (although it was funny to just shoot random squares for no freaking reason, lmao).

thank u!!! really, thanks for the stream!! 🥺🥺😤

I really loved this game until I found out you were using AI art :( it’s sad bc the game has amazing effects with your programming skills and all! But you using Stable Diffusion makes me… :/ Well, I still wish this game the best! I won’t support it though uu.

This whole message is like treasure to me 🥺🥺. I keep reading it and it’s just so beautiful. I want to print it and put it on my wall ; v ;

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!! I’m SO happy you liked!!! ; - ; I.. I have no words. Like, I want to say something but I’m honestly left speechless bc this message is so well done, I really loved reading your interpretation of the story and the characters!! And I’m glad you really enjoyed the game overall!! <3

So again, THANK YOU!! 🥺😄

I finally got the courage to play this game bc any story that involves animals that could possible DIE makes me go :’((((( BUT! I did wanted to play this game bc the premise is really cute!! <3 And I’m SO GLAD that I did!! It was really cute!! I managed to get all the CGs!! ^^ And the lions just bonding with each other are so CUTE ; v ;!! YES!! (IT WAS SO FUNNY WHEN I HAD TO SAVE RED’S BALLS!! LMAO)

it did leave me wanting to know more about this Africa World?? 👀 👀

I also have to say that the GUI was really GOOD. Real GOOD! It really felt like it was a data logger (Data Lion 👀), and the sound effects really helped to create good scenes!! ^^

I know this game is short but I LOVE IT! <3 100/10

Oh my god! I did the impossible lvl and it’s so much fun!!! I’m so, so, slow at typing but when I’m pressured with a little robot dying, I get SO anxious and woAH, I did it!! It’s SO FUN!! ^^ Thank you for this game!! ^^

oh my god! this game is so fun!! I love puzzles like this!! I was a bit confused at first bc it doesn’t have any instructions whatsoever xD At first, I thought you had to explode the house, but then I figured it out pretty quickly ^^!! It reminds me of another puzzle but this one has bombs and the animation for it it’s SO DAM GOOD!

thank you for this game! :D
