Titan Arum

I love Theo so much. They are everything to me

I had to put this game down so many times from the sheer fear I felt. I might be a scaredy cat but the breathing behind the sheet????? I left.

the game was very fun and spooky, i loved the artstyle! i got a bit sad at first when i couldnt ask aster to stay over :( hes my favorite character :(

this game gave me chills and so frightened (i almost cried T^T). From the story to the art, everything was beautifully done. I'm so happy that i found out this game through twitter, and it's safe to say this is my new fav horror romance. Well done<3

I'm in love with this game!! The art style, the colors, the story, the sounds, the endings, the characters, it's all perfect!

I wished it was longer, but then I saw you made all this in 10 days...now I think you're the one who made a contract with eldritch demons to finish it. How is even possible to make such a great game in this short time?

I wish to see more of it. There's so many things that has been left hanging in the air for me, like: if the cat was dead, why could Oscar see him, even if it was an illusion? Were Oscar and Theo illusions too? Did the protagonist just killed both of them? Why Theo's ending looked more fake? Was Oscar really in the town as a coincidence or it was just another illusion? And the most important question: Why is that eldritch demon so handsome?

And to play again and see that even if I didn't trusted Oscar and Theo, the ending would be the same, reinforcing that it was all fake, it's was surprising. Like I didn't really had a choice in all this.

Anyway, love the game and I'll follow to see your future projects!

I loved this game and I am not usually a spooky enjoyer. Amazing what you guys pulled in 10 days! Still not quite sure of the full story but can't wait for the walkthrough to be released. Also I need to know if Bartie is alive!? The question that has been eating me alive.

Omg, stop why is it calling me "little scorpion" like uhm...HOW DO YOU KNOW MY ZODIAC...!???!? I'm pissing my pants from that..

i made an itch io account JUST to comment about this game. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. i can't even begin to comprehend how it was only made in ten days, the art, game design, and storywriting is all phenomenal. as of writing this, i've only done the three main routes once, but im planning on replaying in a bit to see if theres any changes!

finding out the lore through each route was amazing, i couldn't stop theorizing what the true story behind it all was. it also inspired me a lot for my own project, something i REALLY needed! the ramble i sent to my friend abt this game was probably over a good several thousand words long, i just had so many theories abt it and so much details i had to point out that i couldn't fit it into one comprehensive rant, just like i can't now. i love the eldritch themes and the way it's all tied together- SPOILERS here, but i strongly believe the mc killed Theo in the first route after playing Asters. just the mentions of there being 'too much blood' for a simple headwound and the change from 'terrified of you' to 'for you' had me going RABID in my room /pos. i'm not sure if there'll be any other additions to this game in the future, but if there is, I'M SO EXCITED FOR IT. i'd go feral for any type of new content, maybe even a sequel! 

to put it simply, i love this game, and everyone who worked on it did AMAZING! i'm looking forward to any future games you guys might make in the future! ╰(*°▽°*)╯

Its sooo cool how things change after you play Aster's route. 

I do have a few questions!! 

After a while Aster says 'we both know what you're really called', do they mean Scorpion? Or something else?

And. Are we stuck in a time loop? Does the loop end with that one Aster ending where you accept them or?

And the food all tasting bad.. is this because of Aster? Are we eating rotten food while hallucinating/being shown illusions?

i love the game sm! will there ever be a walkthrough?

I am in love with this game. The story is so fun and intriguing. The characters are all great. Everything is really unsettling /pos. Oscar is my fave, he is just so ERGFDSDRFTH 

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.

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. 

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.

Now to go play it again. <3

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!

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 cool

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.

This is really great! I mean, the music is light and cosy, yet the story is kind of creepy, which is quite unexpected;）

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

THIS WAS SO COOL !!! i got the chills

as soon as i read 'the king in yellow' i knew i was in for an absolute treat of a story

how remarkably well done for a story done in 10 days, you guys should be so proud of the work you have put into this

found out about this little gem on tumblr as i loved the CG artists work on there, and my word am i ever glad i decided to play this

well bloody done xx

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

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!

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!!
