*You're welcome! I'm glad my comments could make your day πŸ˜βœ¨πŸ’ž And yeah, trying to twist Pygmalion into a positive character for Galatea seems like quite the slippery slope cuz he's like... practically her father in a way too πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘„

I agree this guy is beyond saving, lol. Can't see it as anything more than a cautionary tale either. Maybe if Pygmalion realizes his wrongdoings and lets Galatea go to be her own woman to marry whoever she wants ( or stay single ), it'd work in salvaging his character. Basically any version where she can marry Galatea is a no go. They'll just be mired in predatory vibes. 

You're welcome! I just read the postmortem and left my thoughts there! With how you're actively tackling your weaknesses, I can definitely see how you're getting better and better with each release. Mad props fr! πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

And yeah, sadly things like abuse can be truly complicated to solve IRL. If it were simple, habitual abusers won't even exist. Like in the case of Galatea's story in this game, realistically her tragedy continues on after The Woman ending as well. Pygmalion's body would rot, someone would notice the smell, and the authorities would be contacted. Pygmalion left trails of her existence, so Galatea would spend her life on the run, still affected by his shadow. Though her being an AI, it should be easier for her to find some respite eventually, so that ending is still quite fitting for the setting. But yeah, IRL, it's far more complicated and heartbreaking ;v; 

Anyways, at least Galatea has a chance and I'm glad she can find some respite in the end. Stories like this give courage and hope, so thank you πŸ₯°πŸ’ž

This is an interesting read! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Consider me one of Pygmalion's haters too after playing the game and checking out the mythology. You have enlightened me 😀🀲🏻✨ 

The "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope gets explored quite a lot, especially in straight male media for that power fantasy. It's sickening, for sure. This mythology especially rubs me the wrong way because the gods are seemingly on his side too; not actually turning Galatea into a woman. Even after she has blood running in her veins, she's still a glorified statue deep down, incapable of any critical thought. If they had turned her in good faith, realistically Galatea would have form some discomfort and fear further into the relationship with the incel that is Pygmalion, even if she has trouble pinpointing why at fist. 

Like, when I checked it out, I was sure he's gonna learn a lesson or something, but nope. He got his power fantasy instead. It feels so out of place in the tragedy cesspit that is these mythologies. 

So yeah, I'm really glad you made this game. You explored the trope and mythology in a tasteful and sensitive way. That, even though none of this is real, Galatea has people who support her and want her to thrive as her own woman. Much like how these stories were written, let us be the gods who set her free. And you did just that πŸ₯°πŸ’ž

P.S. GUI and VFX are your weaknesses?! I wouldn't have guessed! Everything felt so professional! It couldn't have been easy, so bravo on tackling your weaknesses πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

Heyya, Chatter~ Made some time and played this on my phone! Got all 3 endings in under an hour, woo! πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž 

All 3 routes are so well-written and thought-provoking that it intrigued me to check out the mythology. I'm actually surprised it has a happy ending since these usually end in tragedy πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I'm glad you decided to explore the creepy conotation in Pygmalion and Galatea's relationship. Making it about a sentient AI and her abusive creator is 100% fitting! Major props for the modern concept fr πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

All in all, really love the execution, especially how the reboot continues the story on in a loop kind of implies that the Doctor traps Yumeko in a pre-programmed and pre-recorded scenario until she succumbs to his wants and needs, whilst the real him sits back and watch until she's ready. Def amps up the creepiness for me πŸ’―

I also appreciate how the narrative tastefully mirrors similar situations in real life. I've seen firsthand how women would succumb and actually delude themselves into thinking they love the men who abuse them, just to make it mentally easier to go through. Fawning being one of the best methods of survival is also accurate; fawn and trick them until you see a chance to escape. Sadly, most decide to choose the former route due to a lot of complicated factors. I can only hope society improves in this regard fr :' )

Really love the art and everything too! Making this by yourself is seriously amazing! Thanks for making this game and giving us a great experience πŸ˜βœ¨πŸ’žπŸ’ž

Woo! Finally played this!! πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž Sorry it took me so long, Pri, agsjsls-- My schedule is a mess fr πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­ Thanks for being patient with me πŸ₯°πŸ’žπŸ’ž

Anyway~ Short and sweet story! I love the cozy vibe so much ( the art, the music, SFXs, etc work so well together! ), that even tho there's this serious convo going on, you know that Pommy will be met with understanding, and it seriously delivers. Really heartfelt and relatable, reminding me of hard convos I've had with my boyfriend too. It's def hard to find the right person and I'm glad that Pommy and I managed to find the right one for us πŸ₯ΉπŸ’žπŸ’ž

I also love the texting section! That part was hella cute! Paris is legit me when I text my bf, only with even more emojis, as you can see 🀭🀭✨ It's really comforting to have a guy character use them, tbh, so thanks for that bit of healthy masculinity rep πŸ˜πŸ’žπŸ’ž

And last but not least~ The art! It's so cute?! The cheesecake made me crave one so badd and the ending CG is uber adorable agahsklsld-- Pommy and Paris make a cute couple fr! πŸ˜­πŸ’žπŸ’ž

All in all, a sweet story that made me smile~ The title pretty much sums up the whole experience; delightful and relieving. Thanks for sharing, Pri! Glad I can finally sit down to experience this little gem πŸ₯°πŸ’žπŸ’ž

Finally seen the Neutral/Normal Ending! It's really nice too! I think I even resonate the most with it and my quite uncertain road in making it someday 😭🀲🏻 But yeah, we got this, Diana and Enya of Neutral Timeline πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ˜€βœ¨πŸ’ž

Omg! What an honor! *wears medal with pride* πŸ˜Œβœ¨πŸ’ž

Yeah! You gotta maintain your health to keep moving forward nicely, so it's def a great move to take. As they say nowadays; Self-care is productive πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’ž

And thank youu! Hyped to play Fenir's route to the fullest fr! He's gotta be my fave so far πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž

Haha, I allow tears of happiness! πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨ And yeah! I'll be sure to check everyone else's stuff too! Y'all did so great fr πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’žπŸ’ž 

As for my boyfriend, thank you so much! If nothing else, at least he has me to make sure everything'll turn out alright for him πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ˜€βœ¨πŸ’ž

And thanks for the Neutral Ending guide! No wonder it's so hard to get! πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨ 

Glad to be one of god's strongest soldiers πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ˜Œβœ¨πŸ’ž 

Anyways, glad to see you prioritized your overall health this month and still managed to get some things done! Always great when that happens~ That Fenir CG is chef's kiss, especially πŸ˜˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž

Best of luck and have fun with Kuna'a's route next month! You got this πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ₯³πŸ’ž

Oh, also! I only managed to get 2 endings: Best and Bad. Can you perhaps let me know how to get the 3rd? Thank you πŸ₯°πŸ’ž

Heyyo! Finally finished playing the entire game! Like Diana, I barely have any days off, oops-- Unlike Diana, I'm doing what I love tho! So all is well! My current game is just so big for just one person rn, that's why I spend most of my time working on it πŸ₯°πŸ’ž Otherwise it'll never ever get done πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ

Anyways~ Love the game! It's so well written, the graphics are charming, the GUI is stylish, the voice acting is SO well done, the music hits just right, AND oh I adore ADORE Diana's and Enya's friendship! Melts my heart fr! Especially how after the best ending, the title image changed! Ugh!! So, so happy Diana can find some respite finally πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž

And on a more serious note; Thank you for making a story about this issue. It saddens me how some parts of the game industry is still like this. I've never thrived working for someone else, so I doubt I'll ever see myself in the mercy of any company, but my boyfriend is thinking about that future and with how shaky the industry is currently right now, it def makes me fear for his well-being. I'll be sure to always keep an eye on him though, ofc, so can only hope for the best. 

But yeah, thank you. I hope the game industry will only get brighter moving forward, like how optimisticly open-ended Diana and Enya's story concluded in the Best Ending πŸ₯°βœ¨πŸ’ž

Looking forward to the next game you'll make! And will be playing your older ones too when I have the time! Consider me a fan πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž

Yeahh, I really don't know what to say about it all besides getting used to it. That's how it worked for me, after all. Hopefully you'll find what works best for you too πŸ₯ΊπŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž

Haha, you're welcome and thank you! Best of luck with Karamu and all your yandere endeavors πŸ˜ŒπŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

Aaa, Potato! You're really going through so many conflicting thoughts! I wish you all the best in figuring things out πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž I'm here if you need a sounding board πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Anxiety is just like having a toxic relationship with yourself fr πŸ’€πŸ’€βœ¨

Eyyo! Finally got to the game! Feeling quite burnt out, so decided to get some rest and here I am! I came out hella inspired instead! MMM is so good, I don't even know where to start, seriously πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž

First of all, I really love how simple yet effective the story is! Through show don't tell alone, you know that Geist is a manifestation of the MC's self-doubt, but... Is he really? He is an LI and all! Who's to say! I like the ambiguity of his existence, which is about the only thing that keeps him save from my "fck you" punches and yandere bug sprays πŸ˜‡βœ¨ Lol, JK! I do like that in Kalei's route Geist undergoes development too, just as the MC does! That's a really nice attention to detail of how anxiety doesn't really go away, but it does get better. I've been in both sides of the routes, so yeh, safe to say you portrayed anxiety perfectly πŸ₯°πŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨

As for the art! It's real nice to the eye and everything has this artsy charm to it, which I enjoy~ And I finally saw what the animation fuss is all about! Def neat πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’ž I also love the contrast of Geist's coldness and Kalei's warmth in the gallery. Love that detail πŸ‘€βœ¨

For me, the highlight of this VN is def Kalei. I've survived an especially messy toxic relationship and it really took me a long while to heal, so Geist really doesn't appeal to me and his bullshit just plinks off me like harmless bullets, lol. But I enjoyed giving him the finger and smirking fck yous at him as I focus on the precious that is Kalei πŸ˜ŒπŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’žπŸ’ž Kept awing at his smiles, like gawd! How can he be so cute?! It's illegal πŸ˜©πŸ’žπŸ’ž

But yeah, really enjoyed it overall! Great job, Chatter! Big inspo fr πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž Tbh, I am going through self-doubts myself too lately, so yeah, Kalei's route is def a much needed oasis to experience πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Anyways! Probably won't happen, but I'd really like to see more Kalei! A guy can dream πŸ˜πŸ’ž

You're welcome! That and more! And yeah, the scream being used was iconic! I love it! πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

Will do! Thank you for understanding πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž

( Omg, that's so trueee!! I'm holding out my hopes then! πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘οΈπŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’žπŸ’ž )

Ahsjkdk this game, it's-- It's too cute-- I need to see the dentist from all this sugar πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž The jokes all land so well too! I'm on call with my boyfriend and I kept needing to hold back my laughter shjdkdkd-- That was hard! He even commented on Doug's screaming sound effect! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚βœ¨

I also love all the references of your own games in this, Chim! You've really made your own universe fr πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

So yeah, enjoyed this to the moon and back! I relate so much with Adriel too! It's rare for me to find protags that's so close to me in personality, it's quite refreshing~ I'm a workaholic tho 🀭🀭

1000000/10 shipping Adriel with Doug! ADoug supremacy!! πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ˜€βœ¨πŸ’žπŸ’ž

I'm not sure when I can play Sandra's route ( my ADHD really makes it hard for me to play more than one full playthrough of a game in short intervals ahsjsls-- ), but I'm sure hers is as good as Adriel's, if not better! πŸ₯°πŸ’ž

Anyways~ Glad I decided to play this today! Been rough and this game's just the comfort I need. All the hugs are felt! Thank you so much for making Rendez-Doug, Chim! Looking forward to your next game πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž

I'm obsessed with Doug now tho, I want more of him and Adriel, ueee πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’žπŸ’žπŸ’ž

Oh well, a guy can dream! βœ¨πŸ’ž

No, no, it was on me for not seeing that first! Sorry that wasn't clear! Glad you care enough to help us out more tho πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž 

No prob! The typos were seriously minor! I only remembered seeing about two, I think? So you're already doing a great job even without proofreading! Mad props πŸ’ͺπŸ»πŸ˜Œβœ¨πŸ’ž

Omg, yes!! Hyped for it! πŸ₯³πŸ’žπŸ’ž Also, Cru-chan is a cute nickname, ho ho. Wish we could tease him with it in the game πŸ‘€πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’ž  

Never say never indeed πŸ˜ŒπŸ’ž

Thank you! Happy to give feedback! Will be looking forward to what you'll release next πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž

Ahsjkdkd help, I can't get Ending 2-- Tried everything I could think of! Is it important enough to the game that I should play it before telling you my thoughts? 😭🀲🏻

Edit: Oh! You have a walkthrough! I'll check that out soon then πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Edit 2: Huh-- I guess I've already got all the endings?? Must've seen the numbers wrong then πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘ˆπŸ»

Anyways, my thoughts! I really like how mysterious everything is, but we still get answers in the end from show don't tell alone! The writing is great πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž 

The art direction is even more impeccable than the prequel! I love the patterns for the background and the fog and the text effects! They're so cool! Not to mention the creature fading away with a smirk on the title screen! Really sets the mood! Overall, I could go and on about the art! πŸ˜€πŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

The sound direction is awesome as well! The music and VA really sucked me in! I didn't even realize there were only 2 VAs until I peeked at the credits! They're so good πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

But yeah, other than minor typos here and there and Ending 4 feeling a bit abrupt for my taste ( I'd like to stick around The Crooked Man and learned more stuff. Maybe a route where he allows us to stay, seeing he was already quite hesitant about it. ) Overall a really good short game tho! I enjoyed it a lot 😁 I'm guessing there's gonna be more? Ending 4 feels quite open ended~ πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ’ž

P.S. You probs don't mind, but sorry for getting back late even after I promised "tomorrow". I should really stop saying that since my schedule can be quite unpredictable ahskls-- But yeh! Glad I could come back and had this blast of a run! πŸ˜ŒπŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

Aaa, they are so cute together! πŸ₯ΊπŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž Great job on these, Meyaoi! πŸ₯³βœ¨

Found out Inside The Box has a prequel, so here I am first πŸ‘€πŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨ 

It's short and sweet, I love it! Even with the Waste of Time ending, I had fun seeing all the little variations πŸ˜‚πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž The art is also exquisite! I may or may not be charmed by the Crooked Man πŸ‘€πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘ˆπŸ» πŸ’¦βœ¨πŸ’ž And the music fits the mysterious and whimsical vibe quite well πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

All around, a great run! Hope to play the sequel tomorrow and see more of the Crooked Man πŸ‘€πŸ’ž

Hyped! Proud of you guys for getting so close to release after a few years! Will be there to play for sure πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž

Fr fr! Poor Hippolytus. Glad he could just rest in peace now 😭🀲🏻 Unless he goes to hell in the mythology or something agsjsks-- Please at least give the guy a break at death! Smh πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄

Aww, you're welcome! Gotta make time and give my friends the love they deserve, after all πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž

Ohhh, I see! That's even more poignant! Seriously applauding the direction πŸ˜³πŸ‘πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

( You're welcome πŸ˜ŒπŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž )

Ahsjkdkd, okay, the late parts lowkey made this a horror game-- Very well executed πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

It's nice to finally see this story presented with dialogues and narration rather than just a monologue. Monologues are nice too, of course, but I'm def a sucker for character interaction 😌✨ E-Even if it's mildly disturbing πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄

Anyways, now knowing he's been groomed and gaslighted, I understand even more why Hippolytus is confused and afraid of Phaedra. Not only is she a bully and a groomer, but now we also found out she's a sadist! Awesome sauce πŸ₯΄πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

It's quite complex, I can't even begin to dissect their relationship with the little energy I have rn, lol. All I can say is, once again~ Great job, Chim! πŸ˜ŒπŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž I do feel like I might've missed some nuances though since I barely have any knowledge of Greek mythology, but even I can tell there's some Grade A drama and tragedy in there πŸ‘€πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

I also love the art effects here as well! ( I noticed her colors changed to those of her sisters! Is that significant in any way? Aside from just showing emotional shifts... πŸ‘€ ) So yeh, aside from the already noted volume issues, this trilogy is otherwise perfect! Bravo!! Very glad I made the time to play 😁🀲🏻πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’žπŸ’ž

P.S. Psst, you typoed Phaedra in the voice cast on the game page, btw... Thought you should know πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ€²πŸ»

Aaa, sorry for the late reply! Expected to reply and play the last part yesterday, but life really has a way of throwing you for a loop ahsjsl-- πŸ₯΄πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’¦βœ¨

But anyways! Yeah, I tend to be empathetic towards most people, so it's hard to ignore the vulnerable parts of Phaedra. It's one of my flaws, tbh. I get easily taken advantage of because of it. Now I overcompensate by NOT trusting a lot of real people, haha... Still trying to heal from it 😩🀲🏻 

Oh no! Poor Hippolytus! Guy can't catch a break agsjsl-- 😭😭 Yeah, I can imagine he won't like Phaedra just killing herself from it cuz he already resolved himself to. If I were him, I'd be relieved, hence why I didn't think about that from the get go. Def fits his prideful personality better πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

Omg, yes! Ariadne deserves her own game for sure!! She's only side roles in these two entries but she already caught my heart, man πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž

I see! Damn. Ren'py sounds complicated than I initially thought. Major glad I decided to use RPG Maker MZ instead. Volume control is easier there πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘ˆπŸ»  And guess I can't use the shader when it's limited to Ren'py then. Oh well~ Still hella cool. I legit jumped in awe when it happened πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

You're welcome! Tbh, I'm still a bit drained from yesterday's life shenanigans ( since what happened could throw a wrench in my future, lol ), so I'm not sure if I'll have the energy to give feedback, but I'll see what I can do! Even if it's short or something πŸ₯°πŸ’ž But I have no doubts I'll enjoy it, that's for sure! πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

Lmao yasss!! πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž

(1 edit)

Aw damn, the contrast between Hippolytus as this brave, proud young man, but still so innocent and naive that he doesn't even know what to do with Phaedra's twisted affection and even victim blamed himself for her feelings, is just so poignant. There may be more to the story, but I feel for him in this moment πŸ˜”

But for now, I read his reluctance in killing Phaedra to be out of fear, yes, perhaps pity, but also a sliver of kindness. Because, aside from this twisted affection, she's still just any other woman. His step-mother, no less. She's not a beast. Not a monster. Just a flawed woman with a twisted affection. She doesn't deserve to be killed. Not even rapists of the highest degree are sentenced to death. What she needs is therapy and rehabilitation. As they say, hate the sin, not the sinner. 

I've struggled with that mindset myself. After all, I've been and am abused and want nothing more but punishment to those who have wronged me. But... It's true that we are all still human in the end. Every one of us deserves a second chance ( well, within reasons, lol ). Punishments, death sentences, those are just an easy way out...

Ofc, all victims and survivors still have the right to exercise their boundaries, which means they don't have to forgive those abusers nor even breathe the same air as them. No one can nor should talk them into it either. It's 100% their right and choice to make. The sinner's redemption shall not and will never be the victim/survivor's responsibility to see through. 

That's what Phaedra pushed onto Hippolytus. She chose to take an easy way out. She wanted Hippolytus to take responsibility. When it's supposed to be her sin and hers alone.

And this is how Hippolytus wound up blaming himself. Amidst all his confusion and fear and failure in felling her, he directed all that frustration onto himself. After all, what is an easier target but yourself? 

Haa, yep, very relatable story to me. Fortunately, I've never been taken advantage of in that way by a family member, but yeah, many similar cycles when it comes to familial abuse. 

I feel for him. I wish I could reach out and hug him. Tell him it's not his fault. Tell him it's not his reponsibility to help Phaedra get her easy way out. Tell him that it's okay. Everything will be okay. 

As for my opinion on the first entry now; I'm disappointed but not surprised Phaedra killed herself. From the first moment of rejection, she was looking for an easy way out for her feelings and harassment. Although at the very least, I'm glad she didn't wait around for Hippolytus to kill her. That she at least realized what she did was wrong. 

And I guess that's the tragedy. Instead of improving herself, instead of apologizing and talking things through, to then live with the guilt of her sin, she chose to end the chapter of her life. Her easy way out. 

At least, that's the way I see it. 

I'm also shocked to find out Ariadne killed herself. She didn't deserve that, goddammit :' )

But yeah, this one is even more impactful than the first, Chim! So hella bravo! Congrats on slipping my hypeman mask for a sec and peeked at the person beneath 😝 Solid 10/10 for the writing! πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž

For the art direction~ Holy heck! How did you do the part with the sun going all ripply?! That was hella cool and intense!! I need a tutorial ahsjksls-- πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž But yeah! I love most of the art direction! Even better than the first one! I do wonder what's the purpose of the Hippolytus parallax effect tho? Owo Breaks immersion a bit for me, but nothing major, so is okie πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

The voice acting? To be honest, at first the delivery was quite rough and sounded like the VA was trying too hard to sound dramatic, but throughout the game, I could hear the VA actually improving on their delivery and the parts where they yell were actually truly intense! So mad props on that! Improving within just one project takes real skill, so yeh! Am impressed πŸ˜³πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

As for improvement feedback~ The music volume issue is there, ofc, so I won't comment on it further. Unfortunately, it also extends to the voice acting volume. Probably because you were trying to balance it out with the yelling parts? But yeah, it resulted in the non-yelling parts sounding really low, even at 100%. There were even parts where I could barely hear the voice at all. Not sure if you've fixed it for the last entry, but I'll say it here anyway, seeing as the music volume issue persisted πŸ™‰πŸ€²πŸ» 

But good news! This time, I didn't catch any typos! So major props for that! This is enough proof* that you can fight the curse, yayy!! πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž

So yeah, really impactful sequel, Chim! You made me feel things! How dare agshsk-- πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’¦βœ¨πŸ’ž Another 9.5/10 game for me πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž 

Now, what things shall I unearth when I play the last one tomorrow... Lowkey scared, but also hyped πŸ‘€πŸ’¦βœ¨πŸ’ž

*Edited for a typo. Goddammit-- I guess your curse transferred to me, smh 😀😀

Aaa, so I got it right by questioning her first! I mean, she was in love with her step-son and tried to justify her feelings, lol. But she started going on about curses and stuff with examples of other cases, so I gave her the benefit of the doubt, oop πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄

Love how complex it all actually is then! Raised my rating to 9.5/10. Bravo, Chim πŸ‘€πŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

Sounds good! That settles it then. Good luck πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž

You're welcome! πŸ˜πŸ’ž

Omg, all this about moving things around... I feel a bigger tragedy incoming agsjksls-- πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘ˆπŸ»  Even more hyped to read! 😌🀲🏻✨ 

Lol, yeah, the typo thing indeed is a curse all of us writers have to deal with. Even when we do multiple passes, more seems to pop up?! Like wtf! πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ So just having minor typos is already awesome, no worries πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

And ahh, I see~ That explains it! Is there a way to default the game's settings to what you want at players startup? This way, you can still have the asset volume at 100%, but have the volume already lowered in the game itself, so that if players need it to be louder, they can do so no problem 😁🀲🏻 

I don't use Ren'py, so I have no idea how it works, lol. I wish you the best with it! πŸ₯°πŸ’ž

Yush! Managed to play your game after sooo long! So sorry and thank you for the wait πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž Anyways--

The Daughters of the Sun is so beautifully tragic! They truly don't deserve to be put in this position just because their ancestor snitched on an affair. Tragedy of a patriarchal society indeed 😭 Idk if there's more to it though, since schools in my country don't teach Greek mythology, so I'm often lost with these things, haha x'3 

But from what I've read here and understand, I really enjoyed it! And you wrote everything so beautifully! I feel the most for Ariadne. She seems too sweet and innocent to be roped into all this 😩🀲🏻

So, 10/10 for the writing! Short, yet still impactful. Great job, Chim! πŸ₯³βœ¨πŸ’ž I also ADORE the art direction. It's awesome how they look like completely different characters with just palette and face feature variations. Not even my face blindness surfaces here. That's really saying something πŸ˜³πŸ‘ŒπŸ» And the BG is GORGEOUS!! I love how the sun in the back frames Phaedra, like there's backlighting of the sun behind her. Really ties in great with her being the daughter of the sun πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’žπŸ’žπŸ’ž

Same goes with the voice acting! Just one VA and yet they all sound distinct?! Whoa! I'm impressed 🀯✨

As for improvement feedback~ There's really not much to say besides some minor typos and the music not sounding loud enough for me at 100% volume πŸ˜‚ I suspect you didn't optimize it for non-head/earphone users like me? πŸ™‰ Completely understandable tho since people like me are rare, lol. I don't use them unless absolutely necessary since they're uncomfortable to wear. So yeah, you might wanna keep non-wearers like me in mind for next time. Up to you though! πŸ₯°πŸ’ž

But yeah, solid 9/10 game for me! Great job, Chim and Justine! I'll be looking forward to playing the sequel tomorrow πŸ˜πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’žπŸ’ž

So curious what Hippolytus thinks about all this πŸ‘€

Aa, bit sad it's unfinished and temporarily cancelled for now, but I really like Liana! Whatever you choose, I'll be waiting for a continuation~ All the best πŸ₯°πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž

Ofc! Gonna check out the others too soon! >v<)/ 

And ooh, heck yes! Will be looking forward to it πŸ‘€πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’ž Charlotte is def too insteresting to forget πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨

Aa, just finished this one! It was short, but I still enjoyed it immensely! Your writing is so good! I'm lowkey mad it took me this long to finally fully read your writing πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ»πŸ’¦βœ¨πŸ’ž 

Anyways, I like Charlotte. She's interesting to read. Is there more stories on her? πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

P.S. I'll leave a rating later! Idk why we can't leave ratings on mobile πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄ But def a 5 stars from me πŸ˜ŒπŸ€²πŸ»βœ¨πŸ’ž

Happy 1 Year Anniversary! And congrats on full-HD and French translation!! πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰βœ¨πŸ’ž

Will def get back to The Life I Lost someday. Such a bittersweet story that made me cried. I love it to bits. Named the baby after me just for fun and you know how that turned out πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’ž

Oooh, the messaging system looks so nice! πŸ‘€πŸ‘ŒπŸ»βœ¨ Gonna miss the SFX when characters talk, ngl. It helps the illusion that they're voiced, so my attention span isn't fading x'D 

Either way, good job! Best of luck with everything! ^v^)/

Yeah! Def hella looking forward to the NVL style one πŸ‘€πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’ž 

And cool! I'll be more open to giving you feedback next time then. For this one, I'll just put it to rest since it's been awhile and I have a shitty af memory πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’¦ ( And sorry for my lateness. I'm not around itch as often ;v; ) 

It's nothing game-breaking, so no worries! Best of luck with your next one πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ’ž 

Holy crap-- Your monster designs are simply gorgeous and stunning! Yet also rather unsettling at the same time! Aesthetic horror at its finest, imo~ My fave is uh... Pinkie's πŸ‘€πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’ž ( Trying not to spoil thigs agshkdkd-- )

Love the char designs as well! And those relics, dang-- I thought they were like guardian angel-type things with how colorful they are, but-- NOOOOOPE!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’¦

As for the story, it, ofc, feels a bit rushed due to it being a jam game, but otherwise~ I still had a good time with it. The characters are lovable and I ship who the story wants me to ship, however subtle ( ;D ). The ending is super intriguing and def makes me wanna read more!! ( COME ON THAT CANT BE THE END SHDHJDLF-- )

Although, I do have to admit that the NVL writing style suffers in the box of ADV style. I had a hard time figuring out who's talking at times due to the lack of name boxes. But most of all because; ADV having programmed me to think the one talking is the one shown nearest the text agshdjjd-- So. My head hurt a little because I had to essentially reprogram how I read in this style.

This issue should be fixed once you switch to the NVL style you showed tho, so all good ^v^)b 

All in all~ Whilst I agree with you that this is quite flawed ( yes, I have more crits and suggestions ( occupational hazard hh ) but I don't wanna seem like a jackass so sksks-- ), it's pretty good for a first release! You should be proud! And I definitely can't wait to read more of your writing! Next time, in the style where it will truly shine πŸ˜πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’ž

Much love,

Nameless L.W. of WingedHares

Agshdkflf I love you!! Whilst I can't reply as much as I do on Twitter, know that your reply brought a huge smile to my face! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’ž

So yes, likewise! I'm glad I managed to impact the game in some way. It's an honor πŸ₯ΊπŸ™πŸ»πŸ’ž I was actually hesitant to tell you about it, but since good friendship is about honesty and growth, I had to tell you ( I also trusted you won't be mad, so πŸ˜–πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘ˆπŸ» ). Happy it ends well x'3 

Anyways, best of luck with the game! I know it's in safe hands with you~ Hyped to eventually send Renjiro off to the sunset with Oliver πŸ‘€πŸ’žπŸ’ž

With an even bigger, BIGGER LOVE ( ;p ),

WingedHares 

Heyyo~ Don't mind me, just slowly going through my backlog of your games πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘„πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’ž

Anyways! Thanks for making this game! It was a wholesome ride~ Everyone is lovable in their own right, but my faves are Cadell, Gareth, and Wynn for sure πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

I actually played Gareth's route last out of the main LIs since he wasn't exactly my type, but! The moment he started being all blushy? He stole my heart! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’ž

So aye, enjoyed this a whole lot~ Their interactions with the kids are so adorable!! Gave me cavities πŸ’žπŸ’žπŸ’ž
