Well fuck that was unnerving and borderline fear-inducing... (I am but a wee scaredy-cat so one route was enough for me but this was amazing--10 days?!?! y'all better go 💅🏾--and I'd rate it 1000000/5 stars!!)
Amazing work here! Especially considering this was a 10 day jam game. I am wildly impressed by the sheer skill on display here in everything from the writing to art to programing not to mention time management and everyone's ability to bust out something this incredible with basically no time at all. I was hyped for this game since I have been following the work of several team members, and it absolutely did not disappoint!
Minor spoilers below! Really just comments on mood and how I felt about the game. - - - - - - So, that was massively creepy and I loved every moment!
The UI changes and text effects were so striking, they really set the scene. I loved the slow unveiling of the story. I am still confused about some things that happened, but in true Lovecraft style sometimes the most horror you can feel is for something that was not described or explained.
Also, everyone was hot and swoonworthy, so there is that too. XD Aster mostly, but Oscar was a bit of a sleeper hit in his route as well and Theo was definitely a dorky cutie. I am but a simple thirsty gamer, make the love interests sexy and I will love a whole heck of a lot of things...but, I would have loved this if they all appeared to be indescribable horrors too, so there.
It's been a few days and I'm still utterly OBSESSED with this game! I'm so proud of everyone on the team. Seriously. Y'all pulled off an amazing feat! I can't wait till the next time I get a some of my friends together because I'm making them play this. They're gonna love it as much as I do <3
i loved this game! it's doubly impressive when you remember it was made in ten days, it's so polished. definitely wasn't expecting the scary aspect, but it did creep me out! trying different options in replays trying to figure out how to get extras and what could potentially change, esp in terms of Aster's route. it's all confusing in a fun, good way! found the game from following the artist on twt <3
side note, i was poking through the files of this game out of pure curiosity to see what if i could find anything spooky or interesting in the images file or script, and found the I'm Just Ken lyrics. 100/10 thank you it made my night
LMAO I'm so glad you found it :') I sprinkled a little something at the start of each route for motivation hahaha! so happy you hear you enjoyed the game ^^ <3
amazing game! had me sitting at the edge of my seat the entire time, i was spooked but entirely amused! super fun, sadly im still missing one extra and one cg somehow </3 but i'm sure i'll have tons of fun replaying this while hunting for them!
ack I believe the variable to unlock Asters CG is buggy, if thats the one you're missing? If you've seen Asters CG during gameplay (at the end of his route) it should have unlocked but I think this needs fixing ;-;
Where do I even begin? An amazingly polished game made within ten days that absolutely delivers! The way the mystery unravels is an absolute delight and kept me hooked throughout. The GUI is so fun, I'm a sucker for small details like the choices being cards and the changes that happen when you complete the routes! It made hunting for the cgi's that much more rewarding. (Found them all!! They're gorgeous, like all of the art in the game!!) Got attached to Oscar and Theo, but Aster's route was my fave, so i'm happy I saved him for last. Amazing job everyone!! o(>ω<)o
Loved this!!! Ngl this is one of the first Visual novels to actually freak me out XD I absolutely LOVE Aster(Even though they're the one that scared me LMAO) I'm also trying rn to find all the Cgs >:D P.s everyone did such an amazing job!!
Amazing!! The tone and feeling was a bit unexpected but I loved every second. The story and characters were interesting and I felt the need to play and explore all the routes. Very cool!!
