Another banger! This is the first time I figured out one of your classic plot twist early on (honestly, I thought it about more as a stretch/what-if -- only to for it to be true!) I really enjoyed the overall style and mood of the game as well as the little backstory we got with the twins and Player.
With Player's default name, I did thought that they would played a more devious role despite what happens. But, regardless, it still worked within the theme! I loved what we had and glad to have played another game of yours <333
Art, music, and overall direction was, of course, great. But, it does make sense why the writing is getting a polarizing reaction.
Because, while I do think the premise is interesting and what we had was great, the messaging/theme felt pretty weak and forced — all because we don’t get to know the characters as long as we should. If we had more moments with them and their flaws (to lead into the notion that they were, in fact, toxic friends even before all the craziness went down), I think the story would’ve been more powerful even with the open endings.
I loved the mystery of the island and the surreal endings we had here were so great and landed the punch imo. It’s just the fast pace and disconnection of the character development/insight made the overall thing rather weak and a bit corny. (Especially, when Ryan tried to be explicit with the theme on the last night.)
However, this is unfortunately for a game jam, so obviously things needed to be cut to have a solid product. Still, despite its flaws, it's a great game with interesting ideas!
(Now, why was June unaffected still leaves a bitter taste but I'll just chalk it up to horror MC / final girl plot armor lol -- Would've been interesting, albeit cliche, if she had converted last minute)
Delectably gruesome, omg! The amount of endings with accompanied CGs was so impressive that it was so fun to find them all — and to be amazed by just how bad of an end we can get. I’m disgusted by Friedrich but all the more strangely enamored by him. At least, we got some kisses before our guts got ripped out <3
Ah, thank you! I'm glad you're giving this game a try!
But, for the ID, all you need to do to type in random numbers that isn't 0000, and the game will proceed as normal!
(However, if you want to try for some special dialogue, you'll only need to type in an actual Magical Girl's birthday in the format of MMDD -- like Usagi's 0630 or Madoka's 1003. There are plenty of others too!)
Let me know if you run into any problems, and I hope you enjoy the game <3
So interesting! I'm left with so many questions, but I'm still so satisfied with how everything played it out. The slow build of horror that centered with Pandora just being forced to socialized felt very relatable in a surreal sense lol. (Also, just watched the accompanied animatic and that hurts even more, poor Nicole and Panda)
If a sequel ever comes, I would definitely play it <3
Ah, this was so well-written and so cute! I loved the art (Lottie's expressions were so adorably lively + the nerdy easter eggs were such a great touch!!!) and the message behind the piece was so sincere and needed. Still, I too want know how Euxorista ends lol
You don't know how happy this game made me and like very, very sad because like poor Momotarou I loved that we were able to explore more sides of him, especially abt his thought after FBV, and to bring his namesake into the picture was good plus the demon ofc is a highlight with brilliant way of the mask changing between them as they talked.
Oh my gosh, you're so sweet!! Casual dystopia is such a great term to describe this so thank you for letting know about it <33 Hope you enjoy exploring the other content when replaying but pls give your eyes some rest haha!
Sorry, the game doesn't suit you! But, if you are curious, here are some explanations to help better understand some aspects. (SPOILERS AHEAD!)
- MC is a bit of a wild card with a weird personality to match and definitely doesn't suit everyone's taste.
- For Gardener in that scene, they do admit that they don't value their life which MC doesn't dive into. They do get poisoned by flowers and MC buries them just for fun.
- Ending 10 is most vague out of all endings, so to get that first does make things a bit weird. It is intentionally left that way, and I encourage finding the other endings for a more conclusive storyline.
- The XXX's don't want to get involve with MC's yandere schenangains at all, so they are essentially fine with MC eliminating the victims as long as they are not in the list.
And, I think I cover it all. If you have any more questions, I would be more than happy to answer! I'm glad you played it tho and enjoyed some aspects of despite not being your cup of tea!
Ah! Thanks for your playing! I'm so glad you enjoyed it despite facing BOTH of the weird major bugs. I'm so sorry about that, I'll definitely put out a patch as soon as I can (just been very busy lately).
But, this is new to learn. You said that you didn't get to see Nerd's CG while playing the game? (Minor spoilers: You're supposed to get if you click on the "Game On with Nerd" option and lose the Slap Jack game) Or, you just didn't get it shown in the gallery?
This was so cute! The Mean Girls-esque humor is so fetch lol, and the entire GUI is so incredibly creative! Can't wait to see how the romance b/w Cam and Mori will blossom in the next update <333
Oh! I gotcha -- and that's exciting to see some variety in store! And definitely! All your games have been so amazing, so I'll for sure be back when this one gets its full release <33
Oooh, this was such a cool start, loving the gameplay! I'm excited to see how the rest of story will play out! I am curious, though. Would there be like other modes in the games since there's a "Sleep Mode"?
Oof, I'll try to see if I can find a way to fix it in a future patch. So sorry about that!
But, awww thank you for the kind words!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! Plus, to have Nerd and Gardener as your favorites <33 It means a lot, thank you!
Hey! Ah, those are such cute endings -- I'm glad you like them! I'm sorry though that you ran some problem :(
The only thing I can think of at moment is if you played each ending scene entirely out to when the game tells how many endings left you have? (Like: Ending 7 - 3/3) It's been awhile since I've looked at the code but having that should trigger the Endings page in the Extras.
Omg, thank you so much for the guide! I just finished finding the rest of the endings and like oh my gosh, you're like a coding wizard! This was such a fun and clever game! I'm very excited now abt full game. I desperately need Liv to forgive me lmao
I'm like so invested in this game. I love the quirky narrator, the enigmatic Liv (her design is so cute!), and our tryhard self. But, man was I struggling to find the other endings besides the bad one lol. I can't be that bad at dating, can I?
I did stumbled on some of other endings somehow lol. But, I am becoming lowkey obsessed as I try to find the others (for the lore!) -- putting in any name imaginable to unlock it haha. So, yeah you got me hooked to put it lightly. Can't wait for the full game (and hopefully a walkthrough lmao) <33
