absolute lovely gem! I can taste the sweet-softness flavor of a cupcake with sour strawberry filling/topping through the game and art style, ate em all up... The ends, bunnies and bushes didn't disappoint me! Characters managed to take up all my sympathy, intrigue, interest points with Strawberry deserving her much love and happiness in the happy end (also maybe a long break from the forest haha, go out to a beach sometime!) as the cherry on top ^^

(1 edit)

very :3 fluff(y) pastel-refreshing feel-good one, has bunny stickers..<3 loved the banter, interactions, overall good-end related choices! (another one where I didn't dare to be rude to the guy just for completionist achievement that I wouldn't enjoy). Made me tear up at the perfect kiss scene with a touch of vulnerability and just suited him... I, couldn't count how many times i squealed and shii this was so giddy-blushy material fr my cheeks hurt from grinning too much.

this deserves more attention and recognition to be put in the same category of those remarkable RPG horror maker games, it offers an unique horror experience (just a good blend in tension, creeps, without overused jumpscares) with a touch of inspiration by the silent hill/resident evil vibes, though i really recommend this to those who loved Desert Nightmare or Schuld since I was more familiar connecting the impression I got between them from playing. The ending was satisfying (we don't talk about how i teared up from seeing the three's reflections and Andrew having their companies), from the mysteries and clues connected up to it developed nicely along the way with the Easter eggs/secrets (got most if not all of them!) I think it has a bonus room accessible since I finished it, but I have to admit that I don't know how can I access it since I didn't get to read the end dialogue after credit properly, though I still keep the save of new game in separate file and opening it just brought me back to new beginning, no bonus room anywhere I explored from playing again a bit.

feels both and/or like found family, the description didn't lie, the game was crazy cozy heartwarming akin to a nice soup served in best balanced warmth (made with love that you can feel <3) the alternative versions of music based on the character you interact with too are nice, makes them more alive and with each of their background in the books to flesh them out? endearing, real feels and (dare i mention, caused me to shed tears the most in Nightshade's route surprisingly?) all of them turned to be more, what were once just neutral and from like-to-loveable. It was in this one rare of a gem where the characters are all... I really adored them, including the mc yes... (bless the aunt for granting a true happy ending with everyone). Worth to try and replay!

another banger as usual from himebee with as much charming and lovely characters (and also cute doggie Bella :3). short like a bite-sized cookie you would crave for another, but sweet enough I could eat a house... 


now onto the questions of the characters and some easter eggs i caught... 

(Spoilers


- was that a hint to manly's lore for the empty soul part 👀

- Miku leak ref⁉️

- for those pieces of excerpt from other characters mentioned in two books (Yazuto, Mysune, Freyr(?) along with Reina and Kei the clown guy!) sigh there goes a bunch of new, teasingly introduced characters I'm interested to know again XD and Iallus both love chocolate chip cookies and animals haha he's just like me fr we will soo be a good match/j, that aside i would love to see the three of them more like i wonder how they'd enjoy a little picnic in a dog park, a perfect likely date ヾ(´︶`♡)ノ

this one was certainly intense and unexpectedly hit home </3 a bittersweet, realistic experience and I felt satisfied reaching the true end which gave that kinda moving on aspect more easier, there's truly that valuable something you can take from this, some inspiring strength, relatable moments, and well, it helped me to learn about those toxic relationships that were so difficult to get out of.

First impression; honestly thought the title was some kinda malaproprism/wordplay of bad manners so maybe it had to do with it or the way mc got stood up by her friend (who I suspected was a jerk at the start from how the mc acted dismissive and all). Also neato textbar, UI and all that stuffs feeling the rich neon retro-ness through that captured slight dreamcore with how the backgrounds/settings portrayed. 

Diving into the game, my first thought when I met him already giving off bright suspicious flags going on but he was kinda cute and I still didn't have the heart to act rude or mean to him anyway. The realization when he had that phone and the implication though, a good caught-me-off-guard moment and his comments on the cage (this threw me back to that Toma Amnesia moment lol), plus the painting? Before finally that reveal in the vent (my brain lagged for a second in disbelief and bewilderment from his accusation about mc suspecting something's absolutely up with this guy). The built up tension, mystery and fun little puzzles (I spent half an hour on cracking the passcode because my brain did a dummy 💔 I enjoyed the funerals one the most) up to that point and from there on really hooked me in and kept me at the edge of my seat, you nailed the thriller tag 💯 I think he exhibited some psychopathic behaviors (not rlly sure) he might have been one and this could need an added warning for that, but I would like to say towards his one dialogue telling mc a loser for all this time or along those lines; he was the silly foolish one to get ahead of himself and thinking he could get away freely with what he gained >:) certainly an interesting (type I tried hard to not fell in love with and luckily succeeded) guy though

All in all, I enjoyed this game, looking forward to your future works!

It's made in just few weeks and for a first game as RPG horror maker game? a big stamp of approval, this is literally an underrated gem! I love the chibi sprite and walking animations it's so cute <3 (also fell in love at first sight with Mr. Hunter I would offer myself up to be her housewife and take care of his cabin and Ryo). The QTEs is heart-pumping, and we didn't even need to align it that accurate I can vouch for this buut by the second night I think there's some bug prone to make the game overs triggered more easily even despite aligning on mark. To gather the endings are simple, just by collecting the memories and facing the shadows, it's uplifting i want to give Ryo many hugs and kisses for Mr. Hunter to tell him that he's doing well I'm proud of him. Totally worth to be looking forward for more of your future works, hoshiyo! :)

dreamy charming little game with adorable drawings, stories,and pleasant title music :D serves to act as both double contrasting vibes (either cute or horror, it still depicted them properly) almost got too cozy until i was reminded by the subtle (something is wrong in how the characters act) signs and the jumpscare that told me this was clearly not just a cute game. I loved the atmosphere that's like a red herring in itself which can lead to a false sense of security. I love Ryu and Sorrel, also Aisly too.  I teared up at the true end, good job. Narratively it was nice, but there was something lacking in the playthrough and with the notes gathering balance for the ends especially since I still got the bad end first time too easy even for me who kept checking every main objects in the room (i missed that one note in a bush, from not bothering to check it because i was too lazy, thinking I had to check every single same bushes just for that different one which might or might not be in there...), though I do enjoy the little varying interactions with the objects.

Well, it can't be helped that your works are great in narrative, inspiring and/or rich meaningful! Keep it up! Trypophobia I searched, does include discomfort for disturbing imagery of eyes, and there's also related phobia like ommetaphobia, which is the fear of eyes. Though of course, can't be too sure of them myself to use which warning. The make-up names are kinda punny creative though! Lailael and theou fit the religious theme too, but the Xia part? That's actually.. cute? *Sigh* he does a good job on his role in stirring me some mixed feelings for him. Oh what about the twins and his apostle? (I think Nazriel..? Excuse my goldfish memory), are those also referencing oc's of your friends, then?

for this one, I'll consider it from two aspects, the visual novel and the translation, it will be a long one. Before that though, I have to admit the most glaring issue for me was, for the page of this to be lacking any warnings whatsoever beforehand since this one is... quite NSFW (that adult tag doesn't cut it lol), can get traumatizing especially for those who don't want to get exposed to some specific themes like that beyond their initial/vague expectations (see and check out the example of warnings stated in the sakurabito version, so TWs/heads up for anyone before playing: violence (body harm, including references to physical injury and invasive actions involving the abdomen), abuse (drug and physical, animal and child), suicide, explicit/sexual non-con scenes (including depictions of dubiously-consensual intercourse), confinement, flashing lights, elements of body horror (featuring creatures with disturbing and unnatural forms).

VN: the thing I noticed firstly, the pacing.. can get a bit jumpy and fast, even some endings or events were unexpected, abrupt especially in the beginning, and I still don't understand some of the exorcised souls, matsu(kami) god or whatever, though the mystery and story still managed to get resolved by the end with a true, happy conclusion. (Small nitpicky thing; the song Kagome Kagome played during whenever the third matsukami/kokeshi god I think was unsuitable). A nice surprise that I didn't anticipate was for Ryuji to be responsible and kind since I thought he would be evil/mean towards Yoruichi. Now if we talk about the yandere—star of the vn; Yoruichi, I can state for sure that he was extreme, in a way he would.. um, get so quick in resorting to assault and/or rape the heroine what with the drug abuse hypnosis and everything, I wasn't quite satisfied with the way he treated the heroine honestly, but he did give me the rightful chills, horror and disgust. Plus, the lackluster heroine barely had a soul in her, and since this VN was the type with blank slate protag whose words only got spoken through other characters—in that meaning, she was more of the doll rather than Yoruichi besides the moment she had to purify the matsukamis and the reveal about her at the end where she could've just talked and prevented worsening the trust+abandonment isssues she gave to Yoruichi wayy earlier. It did gave off the amplified despairful disappointment for the bad ends though, haha.

Translation: I found typos (particularly the quest/quess/guess-guest words), incorrect use and discrepancy of grammar, and some untranslated words in Russian with all them combined it can get quite distracting and confusing at times throughout the gameplay, but I do still appreciate the efforts to translate this from native language of Russian which I think the translation team was originated to English done for free of charge, though if you don't mind like a proofreader or something to tidy up more of the translation, I can help out a bit.

i tried this out as fast as i could once I noticed there was another new one of your games! and needless to say, you aced this one too! Even short, it still gave me the kind of fitting unease and horror realization of the true and second end, what with the changing title screens, instilling creeps (it didn't help that i played this basically by myself in dark...) the morse code was a little thing fun to decode too, and huanlan got my interest real quick (he reminded me of certain someone with his eyes-covered bangs <3) with other chatacters got my curiousity piqued indeed... It was certainly interesting to get to know your new characters, and their designs were cool! I would love to play some more another addition to this one (does this have a potential of a series, I wonder?) And maybe this is just a thought, but I think you should put the specific warning of eyes thingy horror element (idk how to exactly define it) because it does disturb me a bit with their many amounts and everything (lol imagine my surprise when first encountering the title and save screen).

Putting the main points aside, I do learn some.. I guess words, though I'm still not really sure, like the word necrosis/necrose (I think in this game it refers to like demonic entities?) Your inspiration for the title name (I searched for the word metem but got metempsychosis instead so) and some characters' names.. I would appreciate some enlightenment on them.

so cool GUI, cool tech savvy coding stuff and references that makes you feel like a hacker with skewed moral compass yet has a.. sense of belonging even amongst the meanie members with each their agenda (i love wnpep and ofc od the most, hell, even incri I've come to somehow tolerate them and laugh along with them rather than being laughed at) i didnt have the heart to be a meanie back in return so i aimed for that seekLove end right away, first try achieved it..! (not talking abt my pure efforts to look up a guide and hark word in coding, sending extortion to the wrong contact or anything, easy to avert the crisis 👍). there are.. (for free!?) things to be learned, experienced, enjoyed or felt in playing this. def worth it for anyone who haven't tried it out. Thx for the gg, 🙏BLESS🙏

background ✅ check, quick to get immersive ✅ check, a pretty instructor to romance and/or date with= 100 pts! for a small game made in just a day, this is perfectly still enjoyable good for RoFan daydream material and i still found myself grinning like a lovefool idiot due to certain instructor who seemed standoffish at first that i was dreading the moment to be scolded, but no he was just sweet and caring and he gave headpats and sweets (my weakness) that i melted :3 i wonder if there would be a sequel where they just go on a date or like Njero asking the princess' hand for marriage someday, it's good to dream about for now.. 

oh also, these are just tiny typos i notice on some words like 'rewaring' and along the sentence 'sudden an all' figured i might let you know if you're up to fixing it sometime, sorry if that sounds kinda nitpicky.

ahh this game deserves more attention like your other games do! i felt like i could see myself in fey for a moment and felt bad for just making him go back to sleep without doing anything i wish i could hug him;; anyway it does have wholesome ends either with a friend or by himself just a simple thing as going out for a fresh air, and even the ice cream part is just a bonus! it's a big accomplishment for just waking up and doing something different or more beyond the usual bedrotting routine, im really proud of Fey.. <3 this serves as a good reminder to take care of yourself, always, do yourself some or even few small favor!

(Also love that Luc figurine reference! Though I don't recognize the other characters, I wonder if they're from fgo? since i noticed it's present from the Love Blossoms Anew. Honestly i don't mind some new characters i would to get acquainted with esp if they're ahem charming men..!

(1 edit)

Waaah he so sweet, and the little ball light Peony was adorb <3 also forgot to say this, but i loved how your layout/UI (i think) is so you know, all pastel and cute with the mouse pointer... It just made the efforts put to be so visually nice and welcoming like that all the more appreciated... Plus the small characters' bio, chibi and everything with the bonus endings they reveal, like each one is just as special and important as the others. 


Onto the story... About the chocolates (i woulda throw them to that jerk of an ex's face but even then that would be too merciful for him) guess I'm relieved the chocolates weren't wasted in the end and they were enjoyed instead, than causing the lake fairy to be mad for 'littering' lol


I played this at late into the night after the other two games earlier, my dad already asleep and I had to try hard keeping myself from squealing out loud for this one (I failed and got scolded) but with great efforts of barely stopping myself from bursting in a bundle of joy, I managed to finish it! And turned out he had an appearance with him wearing glasses??? My (day?)night was complete.. um, also that mysterious prince guy (Volin I think) appearing out of nowhere? I fell for him at the first sight... Now I have high hopes for him to make another appearance or possibly being the love interest in another of your games!

literally thought the title was of another language for a sec like I had to search up for what they meant earlier, I didn't expect for them to have meaning in English (aside from the Idée Fixe words which were French-origin) well, I learned new words! 


Moving on to the main content... Let's see, firstly.. Leu is adorable! I certainly almost forgot about him being a yandere, since he wasn't being forceful or anything (I really appreciated the change of pace that I heaved a sigh of relief) didn't expect he would turn 180° as soon after mc was out of his sight haha, might I say, I was pleasantly surprised I wondered what would the people passing by think of this random guy being all weird about, though he couldn't have cared less I guess. Good riddance to the boss. I loved the look of him when his eyes are shown under that bangs, too. Oh, and the rain ambience and atmosphere were fitting! I could almost smell the petrichor from here.. I think I can agree on that with his liking of cloudy weather, as well as hobbies and dislikes of him being same! He's basically me excluding the yandere part.. I have mixed feels about him honestly.

(1 edit)

um where do i even begin... I actually got my interest piqued because of Luc (I'm a sucker for glasses guy and with that type of doting gentle demeanor to boot? I was straight up sold on him), and because of the pixel aesthetic... I didn't regret one bit since I got to know him, his background and the endings fed me satisfied, music was relaxing lo-fi, this game was really on point too with the relatability haha.. and so sweet that I teared up he became my comfort character in seconds, though he's as old as my mom.. I turned more hopeful that I may get myself a s/o as similar to him.. one day for sure, for now, I'm fine to keep him in my heart..! I'm planning on having a personal keychain made from that chibi image of him in his 'about' though, if that's allowed? Not to like distribute commercially or anything, I assure! Anyway, this first game convinced me to follow you, play your other games and to look forward for another in this series or whatever you've got in store, himebee, keep it up!

(1 edit)

the game gives me heavy dreamcore energy which adds to that creepy factor and leaves me second-guessing myself if that's a dream or this is hallucination or ?? tom is a real enigma here though, I find him cute but kinda doesn't leave much impression I guess (beside how he looks much better showing his curly hair without that cap, and pulls off a total cutie innocent appeared when he leans his head on his arms) all I know of him so far from the ends I got (like lovely -fav-, basement, dead end, watching, juliet and then romeo since i couldn't bear to kill him lol that he has ...

Spoiler On!


-a twin brother whom he would so easily kill (poor James :( )

And that he's pretty much a stranger stalker who learn mc's routine, also may have a hand in John's absence (presumably rip for being easily discardable again like James lol it's almost like he has a grudge against J-name guys)

what a charming slimy fella, love him, this a perfectly short balanced game with the endings and interactions that let you learn more about Gavril (which i certainly took upon the chance to be good friends with him right away:3 ) while keeping very much of your interest on him. I look forward to other characters in the series, more of him or his cousin.

(1 edit)

i may be late but you just go to the download section and pick download for the file zip one then extract them once done.

Update: nevermind, I hate Ian, he could die for all i care, go die in a ditch like Ares dreamed about, I'll be praying for his downfall everyday that he's either have to fear for the sky falling on him and crushing him or falling faceplant splat on the dirt he belongs.

(2 edits)

This game is the reason to not just accept the offer of a person your best friends warn about and especially to get nosy in that person's house, asking for trouble which maybe some of you (me) anticipate about (since i just annoyingly wander around gaining points for those bad ends). Love how the hide and seek switching room villain mechanic keeps me in my toes.

There's a bug of the key trigger scene repeating when you open the red book with those specific needed numbers again after it's practically finished and this leads to the timing of one minute getting screwed to hide but will fail and stuck in getting game over nonetheless. And this is just my tiny pet peeve but the way the x button is for menu and not just cancel when I'm used to that particular latter command really got me in a tight spot on some moments haha. 


Some spoilers starting from here:


Surprisingly, I don't really care for Ian or gets crazy about him, because of his short temper and how he interacts with his half-sister.. plus the implication of unfinished background and past about both of them doesn't tie up the loose corners of the true end, though it should probably be unwrapped in the next one of this series which i look forward to (totally not because of Set and Quinn) and I suppose the expectation of him being a yandere like others have said kinda messed my impression of him but nope, he's just a murderer obsessed on his victims with June being another of them, aside from the moment he nailed on that stalking obsession,his motive is just.. I could almost smell a sob story coming up about having some beef or traumatic projection with kind people (of course doesn't mean I'm hating or criticizing him, I guess I'm just mad at him like damn what's this guy's problem honestly for targeting June just because she's being and living as herself?). Anyway whatever, I do still care more about Ares though, even through the few scenes and appearance of her, she still got my sympathy and protective instinct kicking in a way.

A straightforward, short depressing horror (that kinda hits home) game. This has a certainly heartwarming true end, and with every step of the way, out of the room, solving the puzzle, it's really sweet to see Gigi progressing onward while reminiscing through those sentimental memories, experience or items that keeps her in track on what still matters and part of her. Kinda not vibing with Sebby or whatever is that plush bunny though.

(1 edit)

nicely done and drawn! It sets up and fit the atmosphere well, i was invested and loved how you can choose the pronouns and picked the knight's diverse appearance..! ahh just short but perfect for some fairytale theme story demonstration.

Though also just some mistake I noticed on the name (Amore-Amire mine) and pronoun (their hand) in like these sentences 

(1 edit)

a fun, short spooky vn (has the nostalgic vibes of old flash games like those made back then in 2000s or few years ago I played) with natural realistic interactions/dynamic where Aaron the father isn't like the neglectful or abusive kind despite being the tired, hard-working type he makes me love him instead, and Xander well he's not outright a jerk emo, i think of him like this important young brother (I think there's two ends where you can straight up be a nanny who just cares about doing her job, though i only had the heart and will to go for the good end only, i love the found family trope). i think even if this is the first vn, it's already pretty good on pulling my interest in, especially for the narrative aspect. i don't encounter any bugs, but there are some things that do bug me for a bit like the color of Xander's jacket that doesn't really blend well with his sprite, the kitchen background that doesn't fit like the other realistic BGs, the backlog with white colored text almost unreadable, the skip feature that can't skip only texts that has been read, and the recording without subtitle.

(1 edit)

I've never been so baffled of how this guy check all the complete list of leaving some lasting impression where I feel weirded out, while he's a source of this ticklish amused laughter and amusement. absolute quirky nutjob representing the freaky emoji 🥴😏🥵 combination perfectly.

this guy is the good example of the word creep and weirdo like if i were to search up the definition, this guy would pop up as the image in my mind. this guy is the stranger those parents warn about to not talk and engage with. this guy is probably the one getting impostor role in among us and the werewolf in those card/board game every time where he either suck ass or ace it there's no in-between (since he manage to steal get the uniform and pull off kinda convincing facade of a police). the phrase "set off alarm bells" refer to this very guy, a red flag so glaringly obvious you'd have to be stupid naive singleton or attracted to be approaching him (me im both)

i would like to see more of him, and possibly the protag since the sprite outline is already ready there and all.. just one nitpicky issue I think personally the music sounds a bit too much of Halloween vibes? Though the rythym kinda suits the silly idk. Oh man this game is short but you know, i love it lots, and your artstyle too you're def passing up as a creative recommended fun game dev and artist in my book.

(2 edits)

such a masterpiece in making me cry and even after finishing it whenever I get reminded of the name, flower meaning and their relations to Taiga (Tiger) Yuri (Lily), I'm left with a feeling of bittersweet melancholy that it's easy for me to shed tears and have runny nose again. It's simple, short but really impactful, and the mystery being unveiled with the pieces of clue trailing down to the truth is just so good. I feel bad for Yuri now, in fact I was worried for him and plead for him not to try killing himself again for a sec. I'm relieved and proud of the mc taking the burden and responsibility from him though, it's really inspiring 大好き! Now I'm off to play another game from this same developer, wish me luck TT

jeremy um. Hes such a scrunkly scrimblo a what a little. spoingle maybe even a mipy

i want to give him hugs, comb his hair and put him in my pocket for him to take a warm nap he deserves it

Looking forward to the sequel, it feels really short.. and i guess not so much build up to a satisfaction in the ends like 4 mainly. The interaction with him still counts tho

the guilt was felt sharp esp when i got the ends like 1 and 3, Marzo is very much my type too i cried in end 4;; it was really short but.. fulfilling in a way. the art gives this heartwarming cozy vulnerable/intimate style that fits the cafe and stargazing setting

(1 edit)

underrated gem that deserves more audience and support here beside on steam. 

complete masterpiece/masterpixel? The art is such an eyecandy, has loveable characters with hidden dark side and gap-moe (ml and fl). Musics are bop and i love the subtle hint connection between the 'she', 'miss' and '3456' tracks..! Along with some other tracks that fit the atmosphere scene... it makes up for an engaging thrilling experience from the surrounding mystery, obsessive admiring tendencies of Ronnie (he's such an adorable dork, I honestly thought he was some kind of vampire related kind but it seemed he was just human with coincidental notable features similar to that, even with the bat theme...) and 3456 character with traits you can relate to. And all of this is free to play! I couldn't believe it... totally worth to play, to enjoy and everything! Especially for the yandere male fans/connoisseur.

Now all that's left is to wait for the full version of another part of this series, the merciful series..! I'm still rooting for Ronnie more to win 3456's love and all, but I've still yet to find out more about the Monate guy..

(1 edit)

too short, only spent half an hour for this, i enjoyed it a lot though! it still captured the feeling of pixel horror cave vibes, dread, experimental/exploring manageable puzzle, and it managed to sate my craving for that typa yandere clueless monster trying to learn love and be loved in instinctual possession conditional feeling of 'we're the same so we should be together:)' ahh I really need to see more of him, or them together honestly.

spoilers


I honestly thought the yandere boyfriend we got was the direct consequence of doing the hex ritual but instead Mina got it/him from the very place to get the key ingredient lol what a lucky coincidental fate and he happened to be very loyal, just an adorable fella who loves to impress Mina!:3

(1 edit)

so yeah I searched for the answer too but I then realized it's based on the thickness of the bblood covering the numbers!

im a sucker for childhood friends trope (with a clumsy yandere spice) which this is all about so this gets a good pass since i appreciate the effort put into coding the scenes and all the eleven endings, with the simple drawings. only lacking in the consistent typos and grammar (which I can understand still, since I'm not a native speaker either) throughout every dialogues and the non-existent distinctive difference when the mc is monologue-ing/switching to second person perspective 'you/your' or when mc is speaking, including some of Eli's name in his dialogues being gone. I can see the potential of this game being remade/improved on.


I did enjoy the game nevertheless, and i love the moment when mc was trying to flirt with Eli, he scared me with that blank expression for a sec I thought he might have got angry but he was actually flustered haha that really got me. 

Heads up for spoilers;

I think I also got all 11(?) endings, I'm not sure if the scene about being drugged by the food was one of them or if I just missed one ending since I couldn't find/get it amongst the choices I picked beside from these ends: 1 Good night, dear Charlotte

2 To be loved

3 Mine only

4 Camellia

5 Surprise

6 Substance

7 Good night

8 Flowers in vase

9 Not a good idea.

10 Promise.)

your honor, he was just being productive, he's pardoned (so adorbs, i feel bad for being a meanie for him to get the moving on ending) 0/10 (bcs he has a hole in his heart get it? and zero is infinity/hj)

a short, cute game that gets the message across with a bit of folk/cautionary tale theme. played this because of Rune/the dad lmao. glad to see it resolved and the crow guy free with Ryo :) wishing for more Rune content please, please ,please, ples ,pleas, pls please i volunteer to be his spouse. please.

So uh, this will be a long one because i have many thoughts i need to dump about cemetery Mary and the Blackout Hospital. To say I'm really invested is an understatement, this is now a part of my hyperfixations.


(spoilers ofc)

Honestly this one was really the most difficult for me to play through because how things almost always didn't look up for Mary and she kept suffering especially through Twyla's route (i could see myself in Mary's shoes) that owl girl was kindaa hitting too close to home so after I got her bad end the first time, i was like, "God, f*ck this bit*h I'm moving on to another route" and it was Reginald's I picked, compared to Crowven who got rough-around-the-edges anger issues going on, the more calm though suspicious guy was just a better option for me atm. I've been really curious and interested about him, and I guess he grew on me after that whole fiasco in the blackout hospital. Though, I still ended up getting a bad end in his route first play too that i had to look up the walkthrough...

Even with his good ending and through true ending, it didn't really help since i was sad Reggie just disappeared... Even with Ovidius who got me attached to died.. And despite everything, I'm still stumped on how to connect the dots, there's so many lore and theories my head is spinning. I guess cemetery Mary could be called as loose prequel(?), but since Mary and Vasilis didn't recognize each other in blackout hospital, Crowven just asked Vasilis out for a date in the hospital, with Mary and Tetra being the 'doctor' too.. I was wondering if maybe blackout hospital could be a parallel universe, what with the unicorn man referenced in both, other realm, and the whole inscriptions going on that had Tetra involved in.... 

I still don't understand many things, I was glad to see some characters made appearance in each another series/game (like that Fia and her mom too), happy that Mary and Vasilis could be best friends in the blackout hospital, and Mary could be back with her family and all in this game, but with Tetra's business still going on behind everything... Things aren't resolved to the core yet so I'm just hoping I won't be forgetting about all this too much while waiting for your next works related! I just hoped Tetra could be happy, like with Mary somehow maybe, whether friends or um lovers if they can get together.

Oh yeah, also just small nagging question.. are the characters half-animal that could turn into their own full form animals?? Are there even pure humans in this world/universe? I was kinda surprised to know Tetra is actually a pufferfish seeing from his picture profile in the chat...

I'll be playing Here for Sweethearts next! Need something lighthearted rn after everything...

PS. wdym poorly drawn gore anyway i ate up that detailed nightmare fuel, along with the other CGs (definitely not especially because of Kai of course im normal about him) i took a bunch of screenshots to admire in my collection.

is that a mekakucity actors reference

moving on.. this was another banger of a vn, you killed it, also hello fellow Indonesian (i i think? :3) i didn't expect to love this game more despite not having any of those yandere theme i usually dig for, the story hooked me in right away since the protag and with the time looping stuff reminded me of that nostalgic anime though i came for the angst suffering, stayed for kai, live love kai. the free offer to date is also open for renny, just down bad for them (even Mr. Ari.. but we don't talk about that), anyway i loved and enjoyed their trio bond overall :D the story wrapped up satisfyingly with the plot twist concluding and smoothing down to the ending kinda suck at explaining review but the pacing was steady, got enough build up and tension and everything.. the banters and brawls between the boys were nice icing on the cake, i could sleep peacefully now after staying up late through to let them resolve it out so i got all the endings, the two deserved to be happy. i think just a bit tiny thing that nagged at me was the present or past tense grammar switching up sometimes that i got confused for a second or maybe this is just my English Literature soul talking nonsense

okay i have my emotions sorted out in that rant train vomit, thanks for scooping up my rant to the snail in the ear, peace out

Yep, like this. I couldn't figure out where the problem lays, I have started from new game too, and it resulted the same. Well, doesn't change my mind that I loved and really enjoyed playing this though! I've practically completed this, love Nerd and Gardener the most <3
