Ayee, I would love to see that Sun fanart tho 👀
It's on my yt channel in my bio! >=D
I posted it in the community post!
Wow! You're a great artist!
Thanks-!
haii i just bought the game but i forgot to check the platforms beforhand :( is it going to be available on mac anytime soon?
Hello! I can send you a mac version to the email you used to purchase the game. However, please note that it hasn't been playtested on a mac device, as I don't have one to test it on. Would that be okay with you?
yes of course! thank you so much!! <3
No words can describe just how much i love this game and the whole story to it!! With no spoilers ofc, but i love the way the creator pulls of such amazing characters and also so many plot twists!! So kudos to them and cant wait for more to come<3
Also! A small question, if that is alright ofc, how tall are all of the characters? I'd love to draw fanart of them all! (Sadly do not post personally but since playing but also seeing gameplays of this game I can't stop thinking of them)
Hi there, Kenso! Thank you so much for the kind words! <3 I’m currently working on the third installment of the game, so please look forward to it! :D Fanart is definitely welcome here! Here are the character heights:
Characters' Height
Reaper: 188 cm
Sun: 180 cm
Creator: 180 cm
Phantom: 178 cm
Jester: 174 cm
Prince: 170 cm
Ellian: 165 cm
Maiden: 164 cm
Ellora: 162 cm
Moon: 162 cm
i didn’t expect reaper and sun would be taller than creator lmao XD
Ellian is confirmed Short king
Calling Ellian the Short King is diabolical 💀🗿
i just wanna call him short tbh
lol thats not-
I love this game so much. When I started it was in such a bad mood but it made me feel better! Then I wasn't mad I was sad yippee. Anyway, thank you for making this game.
I look forward to the next installment. The way this is going I am guessing it will be about the reaper, moon and the maiden because I don't think the men got any screen time plus I noticed that she had cracked more from the first game. Also, the prince has such bad taste.
Hello there, animahoneybee! I’m very glad the game made you feel better! :D I’m currently working on the third part, so please look forward to that! Thank you for the purchase and the support!! <3 <3
Hello again!
As a lil silly, I may or may not be making a fangame/au/xplayer...
I just wanted to check in if it is all right with you :3
I will create own sprites/backgrounds and all, but wanted to use your characters as I love them a bit too much...
C:
Sure, Kami! You’re more than welcome to do so! I’d love to see what you come up with! <3
Thank you sososo much!!! Hope I don't disappoint :3
SPOILER ——————————————————________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Not to bother you but, can i ask another question? if Ellora is the one who usually do the killing, did that means Ellian never “killed” anyone? or is he the startegist? It’s been in the back of my mind since the 3rd ending
SPOILER
Yes! As mentioned in one of the endings, Ellora does not want her brother’s hands to get “dirty”.
Also, I would greatly appreciate it if you could add spoiler tags next time! <3 Thank you for your interest in the game, Akari!
Ok tyy for answering
Sorry i forgot
It’s okay no worries!
i thought i just offended you, very sorry
ngl i was shocked by the secret ending can't believe that happened. love the plot twist at the secret ending. ending 1 and 2 was rlly intresting too. especailly the phantom ending i didn't think that i'll saw "him" there.
honestly phantom real name was rlly intresting i like the sound when you pronouced his name. feel like i might like phantom more than jester now. do i ever know jester and prince real name? but eh idk.
And fr when i saw the 1 ending "he" was rlly a b**** can't believe ellain was right. looking forward to the 3rd sequel!!!!!
p.s. i feel like reaper is rlly handsome but sadly he's taken.
My first thought why you like phantom is because his hairstyle looks like toya’s
AHAHAHAH BASED LMAO
I just watched a play through and the prince's + creator's name gets revealed. Not sure about the jester though.
Thank you so much for your purchase and support!! :D <3 <3
‧˚₊*̥(∗*⁰͈꒨⁰͈)‧˚₊*̥
The gif is so cuteeee😭😭😭😭
I love the game sososo much! The plot, the hot characters, the endings... LOVE THIS SO MUCH I'D EVEN SACRIFICE MY SNACKS FOR IT
Edit: I especially loved the yandere Sun and the Jester as I am a simp XD
i want to ask a question, does reaper has a symbol?
Edit: everytime I re-play the game, The more I see reaper, the more I want him
ANSWER GAMEDEV!!! (im curious too 👉👈)
🤽
This will be revealed later in the 3rd sequel!! Thank you for your interest, Akari! <3 <3 Don't worry, you'll see more of him there :D
OMG YESSSS TY TY TY TYSMMM <33333
I really like how Prince perform so bad in this sequel. it feel really good that Prince finally not look like a wet cat for the most of time. After reaching the secret ending... it got me thinking... PRINCE- WHAT MAKE YOU LIKE ELLORA! TAKE ME INST-
I really enjoy this sequel! Looking forward more for any new update XD
Prince simp spotted!! lmao jk, thanks for the purchase and the support, Nori!! <3 Will definitely work harder for the 3rd sequel :D
Can't wait for the 3rd Sequel!!<3
Anyways PLEASE BUY THE GAME AND RATE IT HIGHLY! It's worth the price and if you enjoyed the first game you'll definitely wanna play this one for yourself! Can't wait for the next sequel I'm so sucked into the plot now lol!
Hey there, Mr. Clock!! I watch your videos from time to time, got hooked with your YTTD series, so this really means a lot to me. Thank you sooo much for playing the game and even making a video about it!! I'm really happy that you enjoyed the character designs and the overall plot!! I truly appreciate your support!! :D <3 <3
AAAAAAAA THIS WAS SO AMAZING
Also love sun especially his yandere side (I'm a sucker for yandere characters) I hope it will be shown more in the later games!!:3
ALSO AAAA THE PLOT TWIST IN THE TRUE ENDING??
Thank you for the kind words, Lumi!! <3 I'll definitely try to show more of that yandere side in the 3rd sequel since I like that part about him too!
This Sequel is just amazing! I was hooked by the story throughout the game and the endings with the Sun, the Phantom, and Mystery were nothing short of mind-bending!
(I also adore Sun way too much. He's just too adorable!)
The secret Ending was very interesting. Did not expect that about Nyx. I'm also intrigued on when Mystery became... well... Mystery since it has to be well before the Jester's and Prince's punishments. I even decided to write down everybody's title, name and real name and compiling it. Though I wonder why the Reaper doesn't have a Symbol since the Key symbol is white and it fits more with the Creator. It'll be interesting to see what you'll do!
That aside, truly an amazing sequel! Can't wait for your next masterpiece, Spark!
I appreciate the support, Galaxy!! I'm glad you're hooked to the plot!! I'll definitely try to make the 3rd sequel even more interesting! :D
reaper is taken sadly, he's already Simping for the moon🥲, and Ellian is right, the creators a B****, i already hated him since the first ending, i dont want to see phantom hurt tf
Still a masterpiece Tho
I feel you bro, my hope that reaper is single didnt happen 😔🫶 still love the story
Ikr? Like I was giggling and got rizzed up until he said he'll took Ellian's eye cuz it remind him of The Moon😔😔😔
I LOVE THE GAME-
I WATCHED A PLAY THROUGH AND I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE A WIKI ABOUT THIS GAME AND PUT OUT A GALLERY SO I CAN DOWNLOAD THE SPRITES AND CUTSCENES, YOUR ART IS SO YUMMY!!!
YOU'RE DOING GREAT! Also reminder to take care of yourself and take breaks when needed!!! >=]]
Thank youu for the kind words, Chaotic!! I'll try my best to provide even more better art next time :D I appreciate the meme video btw!! Take care of yourself too!!
OMG YOU ACTUALLY SAW THE VIDEO??
THAT MADE MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER-! I LITERALLY GASPED BRO- 😭
Thanks for checking my channel out-!
Wait...you have a channel?WHERE I WANNA SEE
In my Bio!
I just bought the game to realize i'm on a mac- Sob Anyways- I will try to find a windows computer now-
Edit: It was not successful lols- Anyways ill just wait for a mac version...if there is one-
I'm sorry about that! I won't be releasing one for Mac because I don't have any devices that I can use to playtest it. It would be really irresponsible for me to sell the game without playtesting it thoroughly first. Thanks for the support though, Stary!! <3 <3
No Problem! Im just happy to support this project aswell <3!
Hey, Staryyy. Would you still like to have the game on mac? I can send you the game through the email that you used to purchase if you are still interested ^^ It's untested tho (my apologies).
Yes Please and Ty! (Also np, its alr)
Hey Stary, i saw your deleted art and it's really good! Don't say it's bad.
about this try running it with a program called wine it should work but the audio will be a little staticy
i just buyed the game, and I LOVE this, 100% worth it
Thank you sooo much for the support, Akarii!! I really appreciate it, it makes me keep on going!! <3 <3
No problem, you're the one i should be thanking tbh, like- how can you make games THIS GOOD like- im just obsessed everytime i play it,tysm<3<3<3
A fantastic follow up to an already amazing game. The Phantom & The Sun maintains the author's conversational style of writing that makes it easy to read, and compelling storytelling that will have you hooked throughout the various twisted endings.
As fantastical as the world is, the game does not shy away from surprising us with each reveal. The story leaves just enough bread crumbs for the player to follow along as it unveils each mystery in a magically satisfying matter.
It also helps that the fantasy setting in the game is well executed alongside its adorable art style. However, none of that takes away from how thrilling the story is from moment to moment. This game is undoubtedly worth the $6, and I'm incredibly excited to see what comes out of the inevitable sequel.
Omggg, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! This made my day, I'm beyond grateful that you enjoyed the first one, and I'm very happy that you're satisfied with the sequel too. I truly appreciate the support sir Lion <3
im glad i know the MC's name now, TYSM for the demo<3
I-I am beyond words with the plot 💀💀💀 I cant say much as Im afraid of spoiling the plots, but mostly and frequently I went 'WTF!?' or like 'WOAH'. Flabbergasted. That aside I'm so impressed at how much the presentation and graphic improved in this sequel!! Thanks game developer for finishing this !!!
(just a bit teaser to anyone out there... um we got princess carried by Jester again 😁)
AYO-
Thank you again for the purchase, Homi! <3 I'm very glad you like it!
The first one was great, but this one hooked me even more. The plot is brilliant and kept me overthinking! The different ways to get the endings are also clever, and I loved the CGs and sound. My favorite endings are the first and the special one. I can’t wait for more—it feels like we’ve barely started uncovering the house’s mysteries. (My favorite character kept changing, lol.). Def worth it to play.
Thank you so much for playing the game, Klawi!! I appreciate the kind words <3 <3
