¡Ay, muchísimas gracias! Me alegra que te haya gustado tanto como para buscarlo. Definitivamente estamos trabajando en más VNs juntas así que estate atent@ <3

Thank you so much! 

And yeah! Just very slowly as I'm prioritizing other projects, but we're still working on it!

This was a delightful story start to finish. Asher is way too cute and as a former film student I can appreciate another! B) He's a really sweet character and I loved to see his development to fully realizing his passion.

I also loved the UI, it's so adorable and fun! Interesting to also have the assignment page on the right, though a part of me wishes we could see Asher's camera closer haha!

All in all, really sweet game! Thanks for making this!

Thank you so much El for the lovely comment! It makes me happy you enjoyed it so much!

Our character designer really did an AMAZING job with the designs and I'm glad you like them as well!

I just finished playing and I loved the game! A friend recommended it to me and, since I had it in my mind(mindmind) to play eventually, I thought I'd give it a try.

First of all, man, I wanted to beat up Geist every time he appeared! He's gorgeous and his voice is so smooth, but his words are venomous and they really make me think of my anxiety. I think that was intended? He truly feels like those horrible thoughts you may have about yourself, but with a human form. I even started thinking maybe I could picture him when I'm having those kinda thoughts to realize that those thoughts are not me, it's just this silly british ghost man trying to make me feel bad!

Jokes aside, though, I really enjoyed how he was written, I really felt a lot playing this.

Now, Kalei. I love him so much... he's so beautiful and sweet and I need one shipped to my house by tomorrow (joke). I loved how passionate he was about films, and being a film major myself you know that added to my love for him. Gosh he's such a lovable character- I liked seeing that he was also unsure or nervous about things sometimes, all his facets are precious.

I have to thank you for writing this, because it really got me thinking about anxiety AND gave me a precious husbando. So thank you!

I really enjoyed this game, I may even have teared up a bit with it! I'm ace, and I shared some of the feelings with the main character. I have not, however, gone on a date, and I have no idea how I'd react if I went on one. But those parts of "You'll find someone" and the whole metaphor of flowers blooming... man, I felt that.

And then when the friend is so supportive and has colors and everything... it was so sweet after everything was dark. It was sweet and I liked it a lot!

Beautiful story all around!

I finally played, and I really enjoyed it! First of all, the art is so gorgeous. I love how colorful and cute it is! Virgil is also very handsome, love his design. I also liked there not being a textbox and the UI there being rather minimalistic, it fits well!

The dialogue and banter was very fun, in such few words we really get to see Virgil as a character of his own. And I have to say I really liked that there was an option of "I'm good on my own, thanks". Sometimes you don't need romantic love and I'm happy that was acknowledged hehe! But the kiss was also super sweet...

All in all, 10 out of 10, would play this again

I loved reading all of this insight into the creation of the game! I can totally understand why you'd hate Pygmalion, he sounds like a very unpleasant man lmao! I can totally see a modern day Pygmalion wanting an anime waifu instead of real women

And I find it cool how you incorporated your own experiences. I feel a lot of AFAB people deal with that feeling of not wanting to be like other girls, like the ones guys complain about, and that's honestly terrible!

I already discussed most of my thoughts of the game in my comment, but again, I super loved this game!

AWW! The fact that my review made you happy makes ME so happy too!!! 

(SPOILERS)

I think you did amazing with the parallels, they really work. There was a part in "The Statue" ending about the choices being programmed out of her that just... feels so raw. To know that you have based at least some of this on your own experience is huge and I hope you're in a better place currently ❤️

Yeah! I absolutely got that in that scene, I think you did the narrative so well! And of course I shared with friends, I love liveblogging when I play hehe, I kept saying how cool the game is and sending screenshots everytime I had a strong reaction haha! Sharing the game with my friends makes it ever more enjoyable >:3 (By the way they think it's very pretty)

That feeling when logistical decisions make the final product even better is so amazing ngl, I love that! Creativity truly is born from limitation sometimes!

And shush! You do deserve my kindness and more! You did an amazing job Chat! I hope you know that!!! ❤️

Just finished playing this game and my gosh, I LOVED IT! It deals with very heavy topics, but it does so with such grace- yet it weighs. You feel Yumeko's pain all through the game.

(Spoilers)

First I decided to say everything The Doctor would want to hear, but then accepted that life... and god, it hit. It feels so close to what I've heard abuse victims go through. They have nowhere else to go, no job, no support system, they only have their partner... And that's terrifying. I'm so amazed at how the story of an AI woman, born from code, still can connect so much to humans, turned to robots to survive.

Then I got "The Woman" ending, and I kinda liked that small moment she had where she acknowledged how it's not just him that's the problem- he was created too by the world he lives in, the people he surrounds himself with, but that doesn't take away the harm he's done.

Lastly I got "The Statue" and it hurt everytime her choices got removed, seeing how she started to change shape (good job on the horror elements, too!) I kept sharing with my friends being like "NOOOOO" everytime she changed. It was so sad how she had no more options anymore...

All in all, this game is absolutely beautiful, from the art, to the script and the sound. The choice to have different voice actresses in narration was actually so powerful. At first I didn't get it, until I saw the differences in the endings... and wow, it's so good with them representing different parts, or roles. I loved this game!

Thank you so much for your super sweet review, Chim! I shared it with the team and we're all so delighted by your words!

Using sprites in a more dynamic way is something I definitely want to add more often to my VNs, especially after I got my first taste of it with The Widow's Shadow! I'm hoping that  for the full version we'll be able to do even more! >:3 To tell you the truth about the silhouettes, it was a time saving measure, but you saying that it works well with the narrative makes me so happy, maybe I should lie and say it was my intention all along, haha!

As for the designs, I'm honestly SO glad I got Pen to work with me for this, she did such a good job! I knew I wanted a sort of "fantasy Ancient Greece" look for the outfits, with real historical inspirations but with freedom to go wild as well, and Pen delivered so good (chef's kiss). I am so excited to keep working on more characters for the game because I get so excited with each and everyone!

Originally I was planning to make the CGs, but then got Spicy on the team to help since I still had sprites to finish, and I'm also so amazed at how well she did. I'm hoping she can make tons more for the full game fr, and I think her style fits well with mine!

I honestly could give praise to the entire team if I keep going, but then when will this comment end? Ha! I'm just super glad you liked the work everyone put in. Again, it made us super happy!

And I'm so so glad you enjoyed the story! I cannot tell you how nervous I was, like "Will people like it?", "Will people think this is weird?" (anxiety, am I right?) so reading your feelings about it (plus that you caught on to some stuff ;3) is a relief and brings me joy. I researched the myth and tried to keep it faithful in some areas, while doing a bit of my own thing in others, like with the mystery elements, actually being able to talk to some deities (and in the future, the way Demeter may act in some situations...)

The full game may take a while, but I promise it will be worth it (so now I better deliver on that promise, huh?!)

Thanks again for your lovely review <3

Aw ¡Muchísimas gracias por jugar! Me alegra que te haya gustado, y gracias por comentar!

My favorite man!!!

Sale juntada de devs para ir a la calesita (?)

Thank you so much Pri! I'm really glad it resonated with you, and I hope once we have the full version it's even better <3

Gracias!

Hermoso pequeño juego! Lo de agarrar la sortija me hizo sentir re nostálgica, y el arte es super lindo.

Muy lindo el juego! Me causó algo de gracia como siempre volvía a dormirse- lo entiendo, a veces la cama es muy tentadora! Pero lo logré sacar (aún así, quiero que se amigue del ratoncito!)

Me encantaron los dibujos y el hecho que tienen uno para cada segmento. Hermoso!

Very neat game! I found the dynamic between Anubis and Seth quite interesting. Though at times I was lost as there were terms I don't know (I don't know much about Egyptian mythology, sadly!) I know that given the limitations of o2a2 adding something like a glossary would likely not be possible, so for what it's worth, I still enjoyed it a lot!

The art is beautiful and I really love Seth's eyes especially! I also found the way you describe what different areas of the body / face do quite interesting.

Will be fun to see what more you do with these characters!

Truly stuck between a rock and a hard place. Two choices that will be painful to this grief-stricken woman. It got to me... it's beautifully told and quite sad. I loved how the voice acting was done, too!

I really only now got to play it, as I'm looking for more Greek Myth inspired VNs, and I'm glad I finally did! It's not how I expected at first, but gosh it's so cute and funny! I love all the little ducks, and your art is always a delight to see! I really enjoyed the credits illustrations, really gorgeous!

I loved this tale of how they met, and the little theater in extras talking more about the Iliad and Odyssey. All around fun!!

I hadn't checked out this game before, but after playing your newest O2A2 entry I decided to give it a try, and I actually really like it? The whole concept of changing your name to change the scene accordingly is so cool, honestly! I loved that! And also the art and UI is gorgeous!

This game is so cute!! These guys are both very cute!! And the internal panic at getting a crush is so funny and, I'll say it again, cute! I really enjoyed this little game!

It took me a while to play, but finally did!

It's beautiful, nostalgic, and heartbreaking. I had to step aside at one point because it was hitting me quite hard, haha! But nevertheless, I enjoyed the game. The visuals are lovely, and the writing really gets you into the mind of Min-ji. Slowly, you begin to suspect something is off, but can't be sure what it is... until it happens. Until it starts again.

Really lovely game!

I was saddened when it ended, because I wanted to continue seeing the story unfold! I'm so excited for the drama to come.

So far, this introduction has made me very interested in the story and the characters. Comaetho feels dedicated, but like she's going through the motions of being a priestess, wanting something more. That something more may just be this kind shepherd boy... Exciting!

The art is lovely, you have been improving! I love the painterly style for the colors, it's so soft and dream-like.

All in all, can't wait for more!

Despite how short it is, it brought me some big feelings. With only a few clues, we can imagine those past days of the owner and their cat, down to their last moments together. It's beautiful, and it's sad. Having to let go is hard, and those last sentences before I finally let go... they felt heavy, but true. In the end, you have to let go.

An adorable and heartfelt story, I liked it a lot.

It took me so long to try this game, and I know it's on hiatus, but I had to play the demo still!

The characters are really charming, and I wish to know more of them. I'm wondering what's happening with the protagonist's sister, and what will happen with all the people we've met so far. I did feel a bit bad for Harry being rejected so brutally, but I get it, ha! He is however very charming and I would love to know him more heh.

All in all, if this continues development, I will be excited to see.

This game has been on my backlog for far too long and I've finally given it a try! I really enjoyed the story, I really felt the pressure the title so indicates, and felt for our protagonist's plight. Getting the good endings was a delight, and I think Deskarte's relationships with both Yugto and Sana are as sweet as cake.

The art is beautiful, I really like the character designs, and I even find the heirs to be adorably charming!

I'm happy to finally have gotten to play, and even learn a few tagalog words along the way! Thanks for making this <3

This game is a delight from start to finish! First, the main menu is already super pretty, but honestly I'm completely charmed by the entire UI! It's gorgeous!

The character designs are beautiful and their personalities really shine through with the dialogue. I'm also really intrigued by the mystery!

Really excited to see more of this game!

The concept of the isekaid person only knowing the context through posts and memes is very amusing, and showing us said memes makes it all the funnier!

I enjoyed playing this little demo, and I'm super intrigued by these characters. Not only are their designs lovely, but they seem to have more going on than it looks at first! I also loooove the voice acting!

This is really fun and I'm excited to see more of it!

This has been in my backlog long enough! And I've finally played it!

I'm honestly super intrigued by the plot, each of the characters seem so intriguing on their own, but their relationships are also so so curious! The stakes are high for our protagonist and we don't know who to trust, it's really spicy!

My only complaint would be that it feels as if the game expects us, the player, to know things we won't necessarily know when talking with clients. For example, I didn't know what aqua tofana was, so I chose to have Catherine go check her notes, and it felt as if I were being reprimanded a bit. It may make sense in character for Aravind to find it odd, but with no choice as a player to know what I'm working with other than looking it up, it doesn't feel entirely fair.

The art is beautiful, and the writing is delightful, each character having their unique personality that really shines through in their dialogue. I really want to see more of them! The GUI is absolutely gorgeous, too, I was really charmed by it!

I'm excited to see more of this game!

I finally played this game, woo! It was very fun. The art is gorgeous, the music delightfully smooth and the dialogue intriguing and seductive. I'm left wanting to know more about Kali!

Kate as a protagonist is really endearing, I really felt their people pleasing plight. They're funny and sweet and I hope they get the excitement they deserve >:3 (and that Creampuff gets tasty meals)

Awesome game as always, Kristi and everyone! <3

(Same as my review to give you that sweet engagement)

This was a short but delightful story. I like how you can easily see some of the characters' distinct characteristics even in this brief time, from their manner of speech to jobs and likes.

Their relationship seemed so sweet to me, and I think they're absolutely adorable! Paris is an absolute king and I want the best for these two!

Being ace myself, this feels like a lovely dream, and I love that~

Hi! Thank you for your support, I am so glad you like it!

This game is meant to only have 2 parts, so next one will also mean the game is complete! Sadly it will take some time to finish it, but do look forward to it~

Thank you so much! Your comment has made me pretty happy, hehe! I'm glad you noticed that little bit of sound design, I definitely wanted the player to feel more tense even when Maite wasn't noticing.

Hi! We don't have a set date for the release at this moment, as it's hard for me to  estimate it. Feel free to follow me on my socials for future updates, though!

It really delivers on its promises

I am now traumatizeds

Posting my review in the comments because, why are there no comments??? More people should play!!

It's time for Review/OFF, the reality show were contestants RATE OR... don't, I guess. BUT I WILL.

Now, enough silliness (a lie), let's get to my review. There's a TL;DR at the end if you want to skip this.

Kiss/OFF opens with a simple premise. You're in space and must select a partner who you'll have to kiss at the end. Have a romantastic kiss by the end and you may just return home, otherwise, you'll fly right into the sun! But despite how simple it seems at first glance, there's so much hidden beyond the surface, each playthrough revealing new things that make you want to find out more!

Now before I get into the spoilers, let me talk a bit about the art: It's fantastic. I love all of the character designs, each of them being unique and recognizable. Plus the art is just gorgeous! From BGs to CGs and sprites, everything is cohesive and charming. There's so many details the more you look!

The music is super fun and fits each scene perfectly. I may have the main theme stuck in my head, but the music in a certain scene with Arturo really gave everything so much weight! I wish I had more musical training to give a better review but just know that it's -chef's kiss- And since we're on the topic of sound, don't think I forgot about SFX! They improve the scenes in such ways that if they weren't there you would definitely feel something missing.

The voice acting also was top notch, I loved their voices and the way they transmit their personalities. A very fun moment for me was in one of the games that had the voice actors play something different to what they had been doing so far, and it was incredible!

Perhaps one thing that could be improved upon is accessibility. While I had no difficulty reading the text of a certain character, the way it moves could make it difficult for other people. And another character's typeface is also very hard to read. It would definitely be good to add options for players that have difficulty reading to change the typeface of text animation. In this regard I also worry a bit about flashing lights, particularly at the end of episodes but there's many other times. Now there's a chance I missed it or forgot, but I don't remember there being a warning about this and I think it would be a good call to have that!

"Wow, Flori, this review is very long, are you done?" Unluckily for you, I'm not, because we're about to talk about the CHARACTERS! And this is when I'm going to have to stop you if you don't want spoilers because... THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!

Okay, so these characters?! I love them, maybe except Risq but I love to hate her because she's a very cool mean character too. All their routes had such incredible storylines going on and the way the romance is built, even in such a short time... it gives me the FEELS!

So first, Steffi. She's so fun and awkward and I find her relatable in a lot of ways. Her silliness never fails to make me laugh and I honestly just want the best for her. She's the one who seems to have chemistry with EVERY contestant! (Well, except Kel, because she didn't really get a chance to). She may be such a normal Sulfan, but she's my favorite Sulfan! I loved learning about her species and even after her lies were revealed I couldn't stop loving her.

Next is Arturo. He surprised me SO much! I knew I'd like him a bit, but didn't expect to LOVE HIM?! He's a character with so much depth, and once he starts opening up to you and you see all his fears, why he is the way that he is, you just really want to help. The way he slowly starts letting down his walls when  you're nice to him, even to the point of breaking his Vow and being okay with that because it's /you/ who touched his hands... I think Arturo may just be my favorite romance because of just how much you see that trust build and develop, even in just three days. I also love all the lore you can uncover through him. The concept of cycles is so interesting and it applies really well to this kind of visual novel. Every time I got a difference in the conversation about cycles it made me so happy. The little details sprinkled through this game as so so cool and make playthroughs feel so much more meaningful!

Now comes Risq, who I also left for last when it comes to routes because I knew I would want to punch her many times. Sadly, she's very much not my type, but that didn't mean I wouldn't give her a fair chance! I would CONQUER THE MEAN GIRL! And wowie, her route was also super interesting- really the toughest of the three in my opinion! She can manipulate her emotions to a degree, so there was a time she liked me then pushed it down! I was worried I wouldn't be able to get MAX TRP! And the opposite is also true, she's really fascinating from a gameplay perspective. But character-wise I also really enjoyed seeing how she reacted to different things, and how when you actually managed to get her to fall in love with you, she couldn't push it back! Oh, I'm telling you that was so satisfying. The checkers scene was so tense and it took me a bit to figure out the right way to go about it, but her having to be honest about her feelings to save someone else, YOU... that was beautiful! She grew so much! For those who love routes about defrosting and ice queen... this one is definitely DELICIOUS!

With those three main contestants out of the way, we continue with Tori! I kind of loved the whole thing about her and Victor being the same person but from different universes with small variations! It was such a fun concept (plus they're both very pretty). The only thign I found a bit sad is that she was out for most of the game. I get why, conveniently getting rid of her every episode after the second would probably have been difficult, and with Kel always dying there was a need to even out the numbers. Plus I figure they had to balance the genders of the contestants so swapping Vic and Tori could have been odd? What I mean to say is, I get it, even if I did miss her through a lot of the game and would have liked to see her build more of a bond with the other characters like Vic did before the True Love finale. That being said, I did have fun playing as her during that ending, then both Vic and her fusing to become VICTORI, the hottest character?! That was pretty epic!

And last but certainly not least, Kel! The moment I met him I was in a bit of a crisis. I was planning to romance Steffi first but he was just so goofy, nice and pretty that I really wanted to romance him too! Good thing the choice was out of my hands because he was killed. In my opinion he had some of the best chemistry with Vic, even if the moments they were able to share weren't that long, and I loved seeing how that evolved episode after episode even if Vic didn't remember anything. God I wanted to romance him SO BAD! So when I FINALLY got the chance to kiss him... I HAD A LOT OF FEELINGS! It made me so SAD but so HAPPY. In slightly more proper words, the build up to this was beautiful and I enjoyed it greatly even if I had to see him die at least 9 times. It's a shame they couldn't be together but... It still felt so right.

And well, I know I said last, but let's give a nice mention to our main antagonist: Xargazorg! The alien host with the alien most. He's hilarious, I swear to you that I have laughed many times thanks to him (I have also wanted to punch him several times, a good trait for an antagonist to have). He also gets the prize for my favorite voiced line, congrats!

"But Flori, what about BOT, Z and XZ?" Have you seen the length of this review?! I need to wrap it up for everyone's sanity! Actually, is anyone still reading?

TL;DR: I enjoyed this game a lot, the twists and turns it takes made me gasp, cry and laugh, and I just couldn't put it down until I was done. I felt a lot for all these characters and I love their different stories and backgrounds. I really recommend this game for people who like comedy with a lot of feeling. You won't be disappointed!

I would say it's more so +16. It deals with some dark topics, but it's not explicit now is there a lot of visuals of those (the most so far would be a (SPOILER) syringe, and there may be some blood in the future)

Putting my review in here to please the ever hungry algorhythm! (Is it cheating if I'm part of the team? No, shh!!!)

A sad story that rings true to many, but with a very hopeful outlook in one of the endings that I can only hope becomes true-and even better- in real life! The game industry is such a tough place for creatives, which tends to happen when anything artistic becomes "an industry". I wish for things to improve and for us to be able to be tell many more stories such as this one!
