Hi, thank you for playing our game and for commenting!! Also, ty for saying our characters are charming, we put a lot of love into making them ❤️

As for behind the scenes, it's actually present in the game! After you unlock all three good ends, there'll be a "Bonus" button that's clickable in the Album room. There you get to see me talk about the game's development while half sleep deprived at the end of jam and show early sketches. 

But yes, we decided from the beginning that MC would be the villain. Personally I hate writing romance (LOL), I only wrote it for the gimmick. In fact, it was the only thing driving me forward at some points. "Wow, I'm so tired to write their route.... BUT I get to kill them at the end WOO let's go!!!" Yeah, I'm a completely normal game dev. 😭😭😭😭 

Thank you for your wonderful comment!! We're glad you enjoyed what we did with the game. 🙇

Thanks for playing our game and leaving a comment! 

Also yes, it's Philip at the end 👍

Thanks for playing our game! 😊😁

If you mean in a horror game sense where something changes visually suddenly or there's a sudden sound to scare the player, there's none at all!

We're very happy you liked the game!!!! We weren't expecting that many people to be a fan of the ending (in fact, we expected that people would have hated it) so we're relieved that that isn't the case. 

Regarding the typo, it's not intentional 😭😭😭 It's a combination of us referring to them by their spice names during conceptualisation and not having the time to proofread for the game jam. In fact, we only came up with their actual names right before actually writing. After playing the game with our friends and finding a disturbing amount of typos, we'll be publishing a mini update this weekend to fix them. 

Thank you for playing the game and giving us feedback!!!

Thank you for your lovely comment and we're glad you enjoyed our game!!!

Thank you so much for your really stellar and detailed review of our game!! We're very glad that you enjoyed the game, particularly the MC at the end 🤝🤝 We (the team) all simp for her.

With regards to the copyrighted track, we're very sorry!!! The song is royalty-free but it is registered with content ID, making it copyright noticed on YouTube. We didn't consider people would be playing our game on YouTube so we didn't think it was an issue when using it. We are planning on making a mini update this weekend (sorry it can't be any earlier because we are dying with work now) changing that one soundtrack and correcting some typos. So if you want to stream the other routes, you might be able to avoid the copyright notice with our new update!

Once again thank you for your support of Love: Spice!

Thank you for playing our game! I burst out laughing last night when I read this comment, y'all are so much funnier than me HOW. As an avid chilli consumer, I also empathise with the MC HAHAH

Also thank you for the Callum love 💚💚 I spent the most time (writing) on his route so I have a soft spot for the guy, even if he naturally won't be a fan favourite. We're happy you enjoyed our game!!

Phil has great grandparents he'll be fine 😭 (copium). We never really considered the scale or how long MC goes for because our brains just wanted to finish the game LOL, so yeah anything past this game will be new if we ever do anything else with it.

In terms of making games, I think it'll be quite hard for the three of us to come together and do something like this again because of our cursed schedules. Individually, we might make something of our own(?) but that's also up in the air. I won't speak for the other two. 

I'll be making a short shitpost game for SuNoFes 2023. iamsomebody 6 and me are also picking up the RPGMaker game we ditched 2 years ago because of our bet. Neither of these games will be otome, or have anything to do with romance (because frankly speaking romance is my kryptonite), but if you liked the humour in this game then maybe the other games are also up your alley. Thank you so much for the support!!!!

It's okay, I have notifications on for replies HAHAHA

Yeah, Callum's route is probably the saddest in the sense that he didn't deserve it the most. The decision to do that was mine, kinda. The whole theme we had (or I had) while producing this game was "we support women's rights AND women's wrongs" so I wanted to make the MC absolutely irredeemable. 

I think with both Chase and Adrian's routes you could argue that the MC was somewhat justified (Chase being an ass and Adrian being... Adrian), so I wanted a route where you couldn't argue that at all. Sorry Phil, but sacrifices must be made for the greater good. 😔

Thank you so much for playing our game and we're happy you enjoyed it!! mwah mwah in return 😘

>>>> If it wasnt for all THAT Adrians so perfect
ofc he's perfect, he loves you no matter what you do :D

The three of us (who made the game) read your comment and we swear your comment is funnier than the game LMAO

First of all, THANK YOU for the Chase love!!! We are very biased towards him so we're vv happy someone else also likes him. He's very cute I couldn't agree more 🤝🤝🤝

Anyway, thank you for playing our game and leaving your comments!!! We're very happy you loved it!!! 

Also to address your question (spoilers for the special end):

The short answer is yes, Phil knows you killed his dad, or at least suspects it.

MC never gets caught for any of her crimes so there's no confirmation for Phil, but the teen that gives MC the food in the special end is Phil. He talks about how his household has leftover fish because his father doesn't like it. The thing is, his father is dead (because.... we killed him, oops) so the only reason he's sharing that information with MC is because he knows MC knew that Callum didn't like fish.

Yeah it's a bit of a stretch but basically that's it. MC doesn't really remember Phil because at that point she's gone through a lot of people and Phil probably looks different from what she remembers. I've considered making a mini sequel to this game where you play as Phil and try to bust the MC, but time... and resources... *dies* 

HAHA that's it hope I answered your question.

Thank you for your comment and rating(!) of our game. This whole game is a whole rollercoaster to play (and it was also a whole rollercoaster to make) so we're glad that you enjoyed it!

We're so glad you and your friends loved our game! I also agree that the art is super cute (thanks to the god hands of iamsomebody6). 

The game is pretty long for a game jam because it just so happened that we were on holiday during this period of time, so we had a lot more time to work on it. The chance that this could happen again is pretty low imo so if you want to see something like this again, it's time to make prayers and sacrifices to whatever gods you know- (joke)

I'm also glad that you think the development was written very nicely, because to be very honest I wrote it while running on four hours of sleep on the last day of the jam 🤡. Anyway once again thank you so much for your good comments. It really means a lot to us.

Thank you for your comment! I like the art too :D (I'm a huge fan of iamsomebody6's art, the person who did the sprites and CGs)

Thank you for playing our game and leaving your comment! Personally we are quite surprised that you, and a number of other people who commented later than you, like Adrian the most, mainly because we (the people that created this game) have a love-hate relationship with this man during game production.

Also I'm not really sure which part about Callum or his route you find wrong, but thank you for enjoying the game nonetheless!

HAHAHA genuinely when I got a notification of this comment I thought we had found someone that hated this game. But before anyone else downvotes the above comment, OP actually gave our game a 5 star rating. 

Even though the game's content is quite contestable, we thank you for playing the game and hopefully you enjoyed it to some extent!

Oh my god thank you so much for all the good feedback about our game aaaaa- Especially the parts about the writing: personally I was very concerned if it flowed well, especially since we didn't really have the time to revise concepts or edit due to the 2 week limit we had (and also because I just don't have any experience) so hearing this makes me really happy.

Also thank you for mentioning the post-game content because I cannot believe (in a good way) that someone actually completed the whole game to get to that. Anyway your comment made my heart very full and I'm super happy you enjoyed our game!!!!

Having someone make an account just to comment on our game is probably one of the greatest honours we can receive ngl, thank you very, very much. 

Also wdym, there's nothing wrong with this very normal otome game

We're happy that you (hopefully) enjoyed our game 😊😊

Thank you for the (really quick) comment and we're glad that you enjoyed our game!!
