cant wait for the full game, chao is such a cutie vro RAHHH
HBAHSGAF Thank you sm!! (๑>•̀๑)
wahhhh i really adore that enviroment in this game... the calming background track and the gentle smile on chaosxiang's face really have me lowering my guard!! i'm looking forward to seeing more of him and mc <3
Thank you for your kind words!! They motivate me alot 🥺🫶 more of Chao and MC will come in the future <3
OMG thank you so much for making a video on my game!! You have a calming voice and I really like your little comments throughout <3 <3 It means a lot to me, thank you!
AHH I was wondering when your next game would drop!! I actually saw the link to this on the yanjam server and immediately rushed to play it 🏃🏃🏃
I just want to say this totally blew me out of the water! I really liked being in the MC’s head, their experiences and running thoughts through their mind while embalming, and attitude towards sending off the deceased felt really evocative and I felt super immersed.
Also Chaoxiang is so cute OMGG 😆😆 I really love his design! I tried playing through all the favorable options first. I loved the bits of foreshadowing, and then escalating into that confrontation oh my gosh I was so invested. I really liked the scene where he showed MC the heart’s undertaker, I loved all the double meanings!
When I went back to replay with all the distant options, I was really shocked at how the vibes completely changed! It was way more unsettling and I could really witness the rose colored glasses slipping away, the psychological horror was pulled off super well. And oh my gosh the first ending was so amazingly creepy. The chapter names being themed after organism decay hit especially hard in this branch.
I totally need more, I really want to know what happens next in the continuing branch and im eagerly looking forward to the full version!!
THANK YOU SO MUCHH! I was worried I didn't convey MC's attitude/thoughts well enough, so I'm glad you enjoyed it! The same goes for the foreshadowing and double meanings. It makes me really happy to see people picking up on it because it's a big part of the mystery I'm trying to build up in this game!
For now, there are lots of clues I purposefully left for the player's interpretation (Including in the ending ;)) Thank you again for your thoughtful review & comment!! It's really motivating, and it means the world to me (and Chao <3)
It's a very lovely game and I love the art style :DD I can't wait to see the full version! <3
AWWW Thank you so so much!! <33
