The animations, the character designs, and the watercolor backgrounds are all fantastic!

Another fantastic game from one of the most imaginative devs around. Can't wait for this to get updated so i can see how the rest of the story plays out. the Voice acting is amaze-o and the artwork is, of course, beautifully drawn as always.

I, as the Indie-gamedev with problems of deadlines while being in Game Jams, understand how difficult it is. But overall I really liked this Novel! Wish you to have a good mood and halloween!

P.s. A pumpkin per day (or night) keeps W repparTs away(or not?)!

Hi! I played your game and I really dug its aesthetic! I loved the rubber hose art style and the watercolor backgrounds (i am a sucker for those!) the voice acting was also top notch, everyone did such a good job!

mY ONLY CRITIQUE IS THE READABILITY OF THE TEXT WHICH IS A SHAME BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A FUN STORY! I'M NOT SURE WHAT LIGHT.VN IS CAPABLE OF (I.E. IF YOU CAN INCLUDE MULTIPLE FONT OPTIONS), BUT IF POSSIBLE, INCLUDING MORE ACCESSIBLE OPTIONS LIKE ATKINSON HYPERLEGIBLE IN A FUTURE UPDATE WOULD HELP SO MANY PLAYERS! i WOULD SUGGEST INCREASING THE LINE SPACING/HEIGHT IF POSSIBLE, SINCE AT TIMES, THE DEFAULT FONT HAD ISSUES COLLIDING WITH A PREVIOUS LINE!

This is a great start, especially for a game done in 30 days! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE project'S DEVELOPMENT. :)

Even in this alpha state, I AM IN LOVE. The dreamy art, sultry and diverse voice acting, and oddly witchy plot was everything I want in an animated TV show let alone a visual novel.  Playing this game is like driving down a street with houses for sale IN YOUR PRICE RANGE. This is like finding the last cookie that your beloved grandma baked for you at the bottom of the tin. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXXOOXOXOXO
