WOAH. I was very surprised at how well made this game was! The minigames, the art, the character customization, as well as so many things to interact with!! Not to mention, I love how the story doesn't come on too strong at first but slowly builds more interest and curiosity for the reader. I can really feel how much work and effort was put into it. Amazing work and I'm excited for future updates!

HELLO I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M NEVER GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THIS VISUAL NOVEL IT HAS ALTERED MY SENSE OF SIGHT, TOUCH, TASTE, HEARING AND SMELL. I WAS NEVER THE SAME PERSON AS I WAS A DAY AGO, I HAVE ONLY MET CASSIAN AND I'M DOWN BAD TO THIS CHARISMATIC MAN. HIM USING HIS PROFESSIONAL DETECTIVE LICENSE TO DO HIS DIRTY LIL STALKING IS SO HOT. HE'S IS ADDICTING LIKE A CIGARETTE, AND I HAVE NEVER EVEN SMOKED IN MY LIFE. THE ENTIRE MC AUTHOR OCCUPATION LOOKING FOR INSPO, THE RHYTHM GAME, CHIBI CUSTOMIZATION IN THE BEGINNING, ABSOLUTE CUTESY, AND ENGAGING. OVERALL I LOVE YOU AND I CAN'T BARELY WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER <3

EDIT: WHO TF IS THAT?????? 2ND YANDERE DEMON???? OH MY GOD, YES !!!!! , NO ONE CAN TAKE ME..... I'M EXACTLY WHERE I WANT TO BE...... 🫃🫃🫃

The mechanics on whenever you leave mid way playing is such an delicious style, like it is so unique, i haven't seen some Yan VN creators do the same style especially when their story deals with time or anything about fate

im waiting :}

yummyyyy.....

BEAUTIFUL GAME SO FAR, while it is short so far storywise, the game mechanics and the world building is magnificent so far (of course like your other project <3). The art style is beautiful, I love the searching mini games, and the rhythm game is so fun. Also i love there is character customization, thats always such a fun little feature

I'm so excited to learn more about this world, amazing game again! 

Vine de tiktok y quisiera jugarlo pero necesito que sea Android pero se ve muy bueno jsjsj
