So, I played this game because of Aster(I loved his design) and I already played his route twice, but I still am not sure what he's supposed to be. Is he even real or just a figment of the mc's imagination? I hope you can answer my questions. Thank you very much. Great game, btw.
Aster is an elritch horror, essentially a creature from another/world/dimension. He's based off an amalgamation of eldritch horrors including the King in Yellow, Hastur, and another I can't say just yet. Hope this helps!
Omg! That's so freaking cool! Thank you so very much for answering! It just makes me love him even more! Is he the one causing the mc to have those gruesome hallucinations/imagery? Kind of like Saya from saya no Uta?
Found this last night cause I've been thirsting bad for anything remotely Eldritch Horror (mostly VNs and Test games), and I finally played this like a hour ago.
My god. And this was put together in 10 days?
Like, how?!
I mean, I understand the stars aligned for the dream team I read about in the Postmortem post, but...this was made in 10 days.
And it's beyond good.
I loved everything about it. The CGs, the writing, the music, the little text glitches and things that would happen in the UI after each route. The LIs were great! Theo was an absolute adorable dork, Oscar was fantastic and such a sleeper hit on the last bit of his route.
And Aster...
Boy am I ever glad I saved him to last. I was not disappointed.
And we're going to be getting updates? More content? Voice acting?!
I can say with all honesty that I am -eagerly- awaiting any and all new things that this team has instore for this game.
this was so so good holy fuck! it was terrifying in the best of ways and all characters were just wonderful. i came for aster -who was also fantastic, don't get me wrong- but oscar stole my heart out of nowhere, i had to play his route twice in one sitting <3 seriously impressive how you managed to create something to this level in such a short time
10/10 my fav game of all time. man, I ain't deleting the game just yet, I'm gonna play it again and again. omg Aster 😩😩😩 made an account just to comment on this. and also pushed and begged my friends to play this
I'm literally stunned over how amazing this game was. The perfect blend of horror and sprinkles of romance that hint at something so much deeper had me gripping my seat. Were the goosebumps I got from the horrors of the eldritch horror or because the eldritch horror was sexy? The answer is yes.
I really enjoyed this game!! Not only have I been scouring for the past few hours getting the ending, but also seeing the different Easter eggs or references there are! I haven't gotten 2 endings (I believe, unless it's somehow unlabeled?) however, I am interested in finding all the endings! I didn't realize this was a newly released game, and even went to look up a fandom wiki for it..! Honestly though, I'd be inclined to make one myself eventually haha. I definitely thought the different perspectives of each route was interesting, and even thought I was going insane at one point..!
I'm a person who constantly keeps saving during every choice, and I went with Theo's route first, and was going to do Aster's next (solely based on who interested me the most at first glance) so when I went back through my save file to who I would choose to stay with me, and chose Aster, it allowed me to go through his route at first, before I thought maybe I had glitched the game on accident, before loading my save file again, and it locking me out of his route again. I know that instance happened on complete accident, but thought that it was a spooky and interesting experience anyway! All and all, I really love the game!
tysm gamer!!! u flatter us with ur wiki searching!!
aster's route is initially locked until you finish the game at least once so that may have been the source of the glitch u experienced! and 2 of the endings could definitely be considered unlabelled-- there are 2 bad ends off aster's route.
ahhhh this was a joy to play completely unaware as to how the story was going to progress, i only wish it was longer because i was completely transfixed ! cannot believe this was made in only 10 days !!
have to admit it hurt my soul hitting theo with that picture frame .. our poor sweet prince. ALSO really enjoyed oscar's route !!
could not help but think of how aster's stunning character design inadvertently reminded me of the sandman (particularly the comics counterpart) <3 their route was probably my favourite as we could see the story come full circle (also trying to select his route before the others ... i do in fact love me an initially locked off route)
anyways i have rambled enough absolutely love love loved this, amazing work to everyone involved :)
this was SUPER good. AT first, you only feel like there *could* be something wrong, but as you go on, that feeling gets more and more validated. The routes are all equally creepy and fear inducing, but they are SO good. The art, the cg's, just... everything! so good! some parts even made me feel so scared i felt a little sick LOL. I've only managed to get 3 endings and am a little confused on how i could get the other 2, but I probably won't stop playing, lol! I loveeee the writing, the descriptions, the story and world building that comes, the story being pieced together with every route. AGHHHHHH so much i could say but so little words to convey how i feel!! just. 10/10.
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!!

I don't wanna say too much, but there may be more answers in the final content update in a few months!
I really like the game. I got scared quiet a few times (i am a wuss) and that mostly by the amazing sond/ music design and the UI changes.
Though the sprite art and cg art was amazing too of course!
I had a small bug where everytime during Asters route where I got the same ending everytime but i restarted it and it was solved!
But seriously big props for the team for getting the game together in only 10 days if i remember correctly.
Ty gamer!! <3
Ty so much!! So glad you enjoyed!
