This game actually?? what even?? the plot twists everywhere? the suspicious highly intriguing characters?? the way the choices are so plentiful and creative you cant even tell what path you're going down on? truly i thought i was doing amazing until i got the bad end on the first run..made me very emotional so i had to write this out immediately. My heart burns. (haha get it because- *include spoilers*)
edit: MIGHT I ADD. GOD THE DESIGNS?? spent a whole HOUR admiring the details?? i hope the good end doesn't leave me feeling too empty afterwards haha..
okay overall rating with spoilers because i love yapping and from my extensive research i saw that the dear creator likes being critiqued. Im a diehard fan of romantic horror/romance with gore elements/symbolism and i'd love if there was more so it leads up to the very surprisingly gore-y ending, i also feel that there wasn't enough character or rather personality per se from mc when cari was being an absolute asshole. (though very justified after learning of the lore) Personally, i would've lovvveedddd a angsty little "im sadly retreating to my room instead of/after trying to argue because im just a little familiar to him after all" scene only for cari to (somehow) swallow his endless pride and come apologize..or pull an asian mom and atleast bring fruits or something godamn.. ALSO CAN I JUST SAY as soon as i came across izar i knew he was suspicious as hell. I love the irony of picking out a dove for his familiar form and the way he argues with mc in their head i gigglledd..its highly impressive how you managed to cook and serve that lengthy near perfection game in just a month. Thank you for your numerous efforts! now onto experiencing the rest of your games..
I LOVE UUUU YOU ARE THE BEST!! you’re correct i love comments and i love critique and i love yapping so this is like the best present ever YAYY!!! thank you so much for taking the time to write not just one, but FOUR comments. i feel like not many people gaf too much about this game (sad) so you have made my day!
the bad ending is, well. quite bad. which is hopefully incentive to get the good ending! and i am SO in love with our artist’s designs too like long haired cari…. ooooh….
and thank you so much for all the feedback!!! let me go over them all
okay yes absolutely will do more gore/horror buildup! i promiseeee it’s because we had to do this in a month i will revise and fix it up!
yesss so spoilers! i envisioned it as cari’s evil yandere side being more influenced by the devil (lol) but i def want to work on his evil side and give a little spice to his personality
and AHHHH true!! i love the idea of the sadly retreating/i’m nothing to you…” and i absolutely want to add more scenes too that lead up to the ending! he’s 100% asian mom coded he can barely apologize and he gets mad at u unreasonably sometimes…
LOLLL i guess izar wasn’t subtle at all! i think i wrote him to be like a black swan but dove also works too if i messed up somewhere? like you are NOT subtle bro. and YAYYY i was worried no one would get that the voice in mc’s head (every single case of italics that aren’t for emphasis, actually) is literally just izar popping in. get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head….
thank you thank you!!! i am super happy you enjoyed and hope you enjoy the other games too :D no joke you have made me SO HAPPY i fear this game has been flopmaxxing failcoring in my mind so you make me very glad we stuck through and made it anyways >_<
!!Spoilers~!! Hi hi! I loved this game so much?!?! The art was beautiful and the plot twist was certainly fun to see! And Cari is LOVE! I will say though, I was in LOVE with Izar ever since he was introduced and then the ending happened 😶 Is it bad that my red flag-loving heart still finds Izar hot- Overall, one of the best otomes I've played in 2025! I was starved for interesting otomes and this one definitely scratched the itch haha <3 Izar route when jk-
oh my gosh, thank you so much!!! such high praise is very much appreciated <3 and honestlyyy i wrote izar in a way where i wanted him too you’re not alone. no matter how bad he gets there’s just something about that sort of golden retriever (plus a certain something else) personality >_< very very happy we could scratch that itch (haha itch like the website) for you!
Thank you for replying! I enjoyed the game, fully indeed!! Also, I'm not sure if I'll follow through with it but I just wanted to know if you're okay with content of this game? Like on tiktok etc!!
wahh, that would be awesome (if you do decide to post)!!! we’re totally fine with people posting/making content about the game, it helps give us more exposure too. but no pressure obviously; i’m just happy that you had fun playing :D
Lovely game, beautiful sprite art, and delightful characters, but how for the love of everything holy do you get the "somewhat acceptable" ending? I feel like I've tried every reasonable combination and am losing my mind. Please. Pleeeease add a guide. Some of us are apparently very dense.
oh my gosh i didn’t realize the intricacies of my mind were, in fact, not intricate and more annoying haha. i’ll make & submit a guide as soon as i can!
and thank you very much, happy to hear you like the game despite my confusing choice requirements! i will get that fixed asap :)
Thank you! I'm sure as soon as I see it, it'll be super obvious and I'll feel very silly, lol!
Also, really looking forward to the Maeve route and ~hopefully~ a secret bonus ending where [vaguely wording this to avoid spoilers] everyone gets a happy ending!
and thank you so much for all the kind words!!! it looks like i’ll need to get started soon on maeve’s route haha >_< but super happy you enjoyed cari’s!
First off, the sound design is *chef's kiss* I won't lie, I was hoverin over the buttons for a good few minutes because if felt like listening to those ASMR keyboard videos. ☺
Second, the world, the character, the aesthetic and atmosphere of the game! It's all so wonderfully put together I felt like I was wandering around inside of this world. Im loving Cari and Maeve so much rn. They're so asohfseiheg. SUCH GOOBERS.
oh my gosh, thank you so much!! super happy to hear you enjoyed the sound design hehe our programmer lemonink was just so fantastic with the ui AND the sounds :D and i have nothing but praises to sing about our artist rae, i think the atmosphere manages to be so successful thanks to them!
also very grateful to hear you liked cari and maeve! i wanted them both to come off as very successful but have their own little cute sides :P and the endings are, well, certainly something hehe ^_^ thank you again for playing our humble entry!! looking forward to playing yours too <3
