Are you guys still working on this? No pressure if there's a problem. I do hope there will be some news to clarify though.
(loved the game btw)
I loved it. Can't wait for the release of the game! :)
when will it be fully completed?
i can do some voice-acting if needed.
I really can't wait for the full game because as much as I love Dietrich I really want to be able to date Fae
I love this ballet and all things Christmas, so very excited for the potential of this one.
DIETRICH
Jack my Beloved -v-
I love the Rat king <3 amazing story too
Is this game still being worked on? It seems like it's abandoned. It's been two years since any updates anywhere.
Just for you to know that they are in the middle of graduate school... They are very busy, so wait for them to finish, please.
So what's the reason now?
I love these characters and can't wait to see what you do with them next. Even if the story changes in the next update I cant wait to see them more!
rat man <3
LISTEN I CRIED AT JACK'S ROUTE. i can't wait to see the rest when it gets updated. i found it very interesting and the dialogue is very good in my opinion. What i might say is that the fact the sprites don't change other than the facial expressions made me a bit feel weird because we could make it better, but it shouldn't be the focus right now so i totally understand. overall very good
ALSO PROPS TO THE PEOPLE WHO MADE AND HELPED WITH THIS BECAUSE WOOW THAT'S ALOT OF DIALOGUE
ALSO DID I STAY UP JUST TO PLAY THIS???? HELL YEAH I DID
I LOVE MYSELF FOR COMING ACROSS THIS GAME
RAT MAN I LOVE YOU

I recently downloaded this game while bored trying to find something to do and let me tell you. I. LOVE. THIS. GAME. I'm literally not joking It's so cool the characters , style , plot , just everything about this game drew me in! I have not been able to stop playing it it's that good (Especially Dietrich's route!) by far one of the best games I've played in a while. I cannot wait for the full game to come out! ^^ (I just made an account to comment how cool this game is anyways keep up the hard work!!)
I absolutely love the story! It's super cute :) Can't wait for the full game
Hi! I have a couple questions: Does the beta only contain Dietrich and Jack's route? Because I can't seem to find a way to get nor on Alistair's nor on Fae's route. Also, did you already plan on a release date for the full game? I first thought the game was fully released and got so dissapointed when I got the "to be continued" message because I was so into the story T_T. That just mean your game is really amazing though so thanks for your hard work!
Thank you!
Yes, the beta only contains Jack and Dietrich's route.
We are currently in the middle of development, but I am in the middle of graduate school, so I don't have the time to devote to the game -- we'll be picking back up once we have the time!
Great! Thank you for your answer and good luck on getting your diploma :)
holy cowww the game was amazing! dietrich is my favorite
I just found the game yesterday, it's so cute i-
Is this game still in-development? I hope so, it seems really cute and I'd love to see the continuation of the story!! Hopefully you guys keep working on it because it has a lot of potential. Excited to see any future development and updates!
Sorry for the late reply!
Yes, it is still in development. At the moment, I am in the middle of graduate school, so I don't have the time to work on the game, but I'm planning on picking work back up when I have time.
Will there be another part? I'm so addicted to this Lmao best game I ever played!
omg i can´t get enough of Jack. Hopefully the MC calls him out on his overprotective behavior at one point... (for the sake of drama lol) Anyway... great game. I loved all the characters and the writing style is so vivid! I´ll definetly purchase the whole game when it comes out
to be continued?! that felt like a full ending. i can't really imagine the other routes... jack's seems like the only one that makes sense.
This is pretty adorable I cant wait to play the actual full story ( Dietrich and Alistair and Marz are my favorite characters so far)
