I've received your submission there, I just have to complement your game's page, I was considering a similar design for mine. I'll try to get all the endings, you mentioned that the game was no less than an hour depending on your choices, but I was unsure if this included replaying to get the different endings, regardless i'll attempt to get them all anyway, thanks!
FYI, Creamsoda is a bit of an acquired taste.
I know myself how hard it can be to get playtesters for your game so you can actually get any feedback on it. I'm looking to help anybody with a demo, playable build etc by playtesting their game for at least an hour. I will record the session and upload it onto Youtube so you can see the whole process in order to better identify what exactly i am reacting to. As well as the video I will send you a body of text summarizing my feelings with the game and outlining any comments or issues I had.
You can use the submission form linked on my profile, private message me on reddit or discord, or just leave a link in the replies, but what would be the most convenient for me is to submit using the form and then reply to this post letting me know that you have.
Any game is welcome for submission, serious games, joke games, nsfw games, etc etc, if you are unsure just submit it anyway, you might be surprised!
Note that nsfw games would not be getting a Youtube video for obvious reasons.
space for no spoilers.

I actually liked this game, the writing is pretty good, for not really using any extravagant language it certainly manages to be pretty powerful in the context or i suppose lack there of. I was going to suggest adding music because the game feels empty, but I imagine that was what you were going for anyway, and i do think it sort of forced me to take the game more seriously than i would have otherwise.
I do however think this game would really benefit from original graphics, or at least i'd suggest you try make original graphics for any future game you might make, you obviously can draw judging from the images in game, and you have a pretty cool art style as well, maybe one that doesnt translate well into the small size of the sprites in rpg maker but regardless i feel like you'd be able to portray the tone of the game much better with your own work, thats just personal opinion though.
I liked the story, didnt really understand it that much (guess ill have to get the other two endings) but it is fairly interesting, what im picking up so far anyway is something about suicide, self harm, hospitals, comas, maybe a relationship that ended during a coma, and possibly something about being transgender but im not so sure about the last one, but i think all these things were pretty well portrayed, because it wasn't like, ridiculously cryptic but it was still vague enough that you had to sort of connect the dots yourself, and i always like that kind of storytelling.
Basically, good game, keep it up!
CREAMSODA is a bizarre RPG with comedic elements, spanning over around 90 minutes on average, which has received a fairly even split of wildly mixed reviews.
It features:
- A vast array of fully original music and sprites (if at a questionable quality),
- Many shocking and appalling circumstances,
- The portrayal of an unpredictable and nonsensical story,
- Fleeting moments of reason partially explained through a mockery of logic,
- A unique cast of truly unforgettable characters,
- Some confusing spelling mistakes (I hope you appreciate the honesty),
- Deceptively strategic gameplay,
- A medium through which you certainly will feel many emotions,
- And an overall traumatizing experience.
Play it here!
You can use your old saves in new updates, in the creamsoda folder there should be a file (assuming you have save files) called save01 or save05 or something similar, if you dont know which save is your current one just copy them all from the old creamsoda folder into the new updated one, and the game should run fine!
In some cases it may be bugged or softlocked, but thats just a chance you will have to take.
(if it wont start try saving in different rooms)
With all honesty, i cant guarantee that you can beat that fight if you haven't already gotten enough experience from beating all the other fights, which is something i overlooked and im gonna have to fix in the next update.
but if you do have all the experience the strategy basically boils down to making sure that at the end of every turn, he is either uneasy or stunned by using the baggins stare or using the slap (which is somewhat of a risk because it doesnt always stun) , if he is, every turn that you are not uneasy and have enough tp to use the "haymaker" skill, use it. otherwise if you are uneasy or just dont have enough tp to use the haymaker just slap him. or if you cant do any of that then rest, doing it like that you can sometimes even get through without any items, and it helps if you drink at the sinks and rest at the beds beforehand to gain back your sp and health.
Thank you for playing my videogame creamsoda!
