oh my GOSH!!!!!!!!!! this is such a good game, iwas immersed all the way through!!!!!!! the secret ending is *CHEFS KISS*
Tbh, this game is the best pc game I had play in my life. I never thought the secret ending plot would be like that! I feel like I can't wait more for next update >3! Thank you for make this game free and thank you for your masterpiece game work! I think I'd like to make some fanart of this >:D HEHEHE! No need to be rush!<3
Hello!! Thank you very much for the kind words!! <3 <3 The sequel will be released in October, so please look forward to that! Am looking forward to that fanart tho! XD
heyyy, just played the game and wow, honestly never enjoyed so much playing any other visual novels as much as this, you truely nailed it
so excited to know more about the characters pasts and the overall lore.
honestly i think you must've worked harder than one can imagine, thinking you shaped your story as a game, which is more interactible than comics that other artists do(this is not a criticism, comics are amazing but lack the interact that the reader wants to have that's all) you must've really had the courage to make it come alive, which i don't have when it comes to making my games :') can't wait for these stories to have their own fanbase so i can see fanart of them and draw fanarts for them AAAA
sorry for talking so much i can't stop it when i begin.
wishing you the best of lucks
Hey, Jey!! Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate that! I'm glad that you enjoy the game! <3 The sequel will be released very soon, so please look forward to that! Btw, there are already some fanarts being made, you can find them here. There are more in the artist's insta if you wanna see more
Hello there!! These are all sooo adorable! Thank you for taking the time to create these! They're so cuteeeeee, and I absolutely love your art style!! <3 As for these particular fanart you made, I don't mind at all! If you ever consider selling these online, please make sure to provide proper credit and include a link back to my work. Thank you so much, Homi!! <3 <3
Kyaaa!!! Thanks for the compliment, currently I'm grinning like an idiot rn :3 And thanks too for letting me use your childrens huehue, THEY ARE IN MY BASEMENT NOW. I'M GONNA GO WILD AFTER YOU GAVE YOUR APPROVAL MUAHAHAHA

I'm kind of interested what happened after the secret ending and the Sacrificed ending lol,this game is so fun! I cant wait to see more! thanks for making it free Tho! and thanks for your hard work.
Hellooo!! I'm happy to hear that you're excited for the sequel! The canon ending is the secret ending, and it will have a continuation soon! If you haven't seen the teaser, please check on it! May I ask which version of the game you played? Thanks for your support and for the rating, Akariharuki! <3 <3
i played the the recent one, the 2.1 ver! and i really cant wait to see the phantom and the sun to release! thank you for your hard work again btw, i really cant wait to see more!
OH MY GOODNESS-
IT LOOKS SO GOOD SO FAR!!
I'M LITERALLY IN LOVE WITH THE NEW DESIGN FOR THE PROTAG ❤
The new characters look great too!
My suggestion if you need any help writing more of your game and stuff is to maybe make a discord server or a yt account!
Maybe you can even ask some of us to help you write a bit of it!
These are my suggestions! I'm not a really big idea person but I'll be willing to help if needed!
Sorry I'm very hyper and very excited! Remember to take care of yourself as always!
This is now added to my favourites.
Managed to get about three of my friends to play and the also loved it. She won't stop talking about it and my other friend I think she's now a stan for Jester.
I love the storyline as well as the plot twists. I am exited for what is next but make sure you don't rush and take care of yourself.
Of course it is normal for a game that is new to have some glitches/fix needed but here's what I found:
1. When inputting a long name, the name overrides the text.
2. Jesters hat (I think it is a hat) is cut of when he is in the middle of the screen.
Overall noice game, keep going.
I am a stan for the main character now.
Saw the teaser for the next update, #so excited. Take care though.
Oooo reminds me of that one friend that told me about it...Now that i think about it...Do I know you-
WHAT- HWY ARE YOU AT MY UHOSU EW
Im the friend
LET ME GO
Should of worded it different my apologies.
Hiii! Thank you so much for your support and for sharing the game with your friends! :DDD I'm glad to hear they enjoyed it too! I've already fixed the issues you mentioned in version 2.1. Thanks again, Krynaomi! <3 <3
<3
I Loved playing through the game!
I saw my friend playing it and i asked about it and tried it out. I was blown AWAY with the characters, personality, and the storyline. My Brain is already coming up with theories along with my friend(s, who i ramble to on and on about the game).
I am curious though if this game will (eventually) be voice acted?
Anyways, you will have my unconditional support. And I look forward to your next games!
(Sorry if i rambled- I do that alot)
Remember to take care of yourself, put yourself before the game <3
Hey there!! Thank you so much for the kind words and for your support!! T_T As for your question, I haven't really thought about adding voices to the game yet, as I already have a lot on my plate right now - but I definitely will not cross out that idea!! Thanks again, Stary, and you take care of yourself too! <3 <3
Loved this game a bunch!!!
I watched a play through and WOW it was great! I'm so excited for when this game gets a fan base and I get to ramble about it!
I actually really interested on the characters pasts and stuff, like what Jester and Prince did to get in the canvases???
Sorry I ramble A LOT- I just love to! Anyways you should totally open your own discord or yt account!
Love your work! Take care of yourself! >=]]
Hey there!! Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyd it. I was already planning to include the reason they got stuck in the canvas in the sequel. Please look forward to it! I'm very excited to share it with everyne here! Take care of yourself, too! <3
This game was so amazing! I definitely didn’t expect the twist in the secret ending! The storyline was insanely good and I enjoyed every single bit of it. I’m super excited and intrigued for the rest of the characters like Sun and Moon.
I found the character designs extremely cute, especially the tiny crown on the prince. Also love the facial expression of the MC (was kinda funny and adorable at the same time.)
Definitely recommend this game to others as this game is a hidden gem!
Excited for your future games!
Thank you so much for the support and the kind words!! I really appreciate it! Will work hard for the sequel!! <3
This was an amazing game! I was completely blown away by the storyline and characters! I am very excited for the next game and hope to play that as well! I would like to ask if there is an estimated date of release for the game?
Thank you so much for the kind words!! As for the sequel, I don't really wanna announce any definitive dates yet, but I will say that I'm currently working on it! I will be posting a devlog about it here soon, so please look out for that. Thanks again for your support! <3 <3
Omggg, thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to play through the game! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. Your support really means a lot, and I'm working hard on the next game! Thanks again for sharing your experience, will def be watching the video first thing tommorrw! <3
I Watched over your video and i think you narrated the story very well! For some reason i started narrating with you but whatever you did really well!
I just finished playing the game, and I'm completely blown away! The ending was totally unexpected, but in the best way possible. The storyline is incredibly well-crafted, and the art style is simply breathtaking. This game is an absolute must-play—I couldn't recommend it more! I'm eagerly looking forward to the release of the secret ending soon—I'm sure it'll be just as great as the other endings! Moreover, I'm hopeful that the creator will develop another game soon, so others can enjoy it too.
Thank you so much for trying out the game! I appreciate the kind words <3
