It's got a couple of small detail issues, mostly with lines being spoken by the wrong characters. It's also quite short, I got both endings and read all the possible scenes in about 50 minutes, though maybe I just read fast. With all that said, I really liked this, and the premise and scenario presented gave me food for thought well after I finished the game, and that's one of my favorite things about games like this. I love toxic/unhealthy queer romance and I hope these devs continue making games like this (albeit maybe longer, pretty please?)3 found this helpful
well... there is a good and a bad ending... but who promised a happy ending? it was a beautiful game.1 found this helpful
This was a really neat little visual novel, and I really adored it. Overall, I would highly recommend it, especially if you enjoy a bit of a dark romance aspect to your visual novels, although it is a bit short and I would have loved to see a bit more story. The visuals are gorgeous and I love the difference in the illustrations and the pixel art and it was super adorable. The music was really nice and the story was decently easy to follow and an interesting take. Over all, I really enjoyed the game and I hope to see more and hopefully longer games.
Hello, hey :)) Welcome. I see you are interested in playing this game. Okay, let's see. This is NOT a romance novel, there is no drama or big choices. All takes around 1 hour at most, to get all achievements. It took more from me only because I was watching a movie along it xDDD Anyways, main hero is very nice, their LI is .. attractive, if you like this type of person. Some twist exist and there were some moments when I slapped my face and some moments when I laughed. but, like I said it isn't a romance story, it is rather [spoiler] a romance between MC and a entity she imagined, with a lot of red flags, so if you are against manipulation, forced romance and/or going trough something close to it, I'd advise against playing it. BUT! it is mind warning, nothing too concerning. I'd say "this is how someone would manipulate you, if you have victim mindset/fear of abandonment" [/spoiler]
It's a short VN with two endings, but the art is lovely and it is a pleasantly creepy story. I do find that one of the endings feels a bit abrupt and awkward. The other ending feels satisfying and seems more in line with the themes the story explores. I really wish this was longer because the concept is so neat and the two main characters have such an interesting dynamic. Would totally invest in any future projects these dev's cook up!
I love the soundtrack and the art is amazing too. Game is a bit short but i really like the ending with the 4th wall break.
