About It gets so lonely here


You are running through a forest.

It is late at night and the sky is as black as pitch.

The trees which surround you, jutting out of the earth like eerie monuments to a foreign god, are blotting out most of the moonlight.

You do not know where you are going.

You have no map; no route; no plan.

You have no desire, as you run, save to escape.

You cannot let yourself be caught.

All you can do is run, on and on and on...

But, despite all of your hard work, your best efforts will, invariably, be in vain. It’s already too late for you. After all...

You’ll never be able to escape from me.

[h2]"The world might have forsake you, but I never will."[/h2] Honestly? How is this game free. The yandere representation, the replayability, the writing, pacing, characters, artstyle, it's all so so so good, and yuri too? [i]Yuri-n for a good time.[/i] Now, I can't really get into it without spoiling anything, but every aspect of the game is on par with a lot of popular VNs. Yes, the style and pacing of the writing itself is not intended for casual content consumption, as this feels quite heavy on the text, but it's nost just unnecessary fluff. The pacing being really solid, the phrasing being really cohesive and intentional, it's really like having a great book, with a VN visual support, more than what games of the genre usually do by focusing on the visual first. All in all, great writing, pacing, characters, not unnecessary seggsualisation of anything, it's yuri, and one of the best quiet yandere representations. While most yanderes are presented obnoxiously loud, this isn't like that. It's quiet, engulfing, confident. It doesn't have to make up for anything, because it knows what it is, it knows what happens, so it's worth studying for creating yandere characters too…

Amazing novel, loved the Gravedigger's route the most. However, Mermaid's OST was perfect, so dreamy <3 Btw, runs on CachyOS with no issues.
