This was so well written, especially for such a short game!! The atmosphere got me hooked from the start and Silas’ design is absolutely gorgeous! Very bittersweet but so good!
This is such a nice game. Games that tackle that space between life and death always have a special place in my heart, and this game is a reminder why that is. I loved playing through this, despite it being very short, and I loved the ending where I give my name, I didn't expect it to make me smile that much. Finally, Silas is beautiful and so easy to love. Thanks for making this wonderful game!!!
I've always enjoyed that theme too, and i'm super glad it resonates with other people. I'm happy to hear you smile! Thank you so so much for the kind words, they mean alot to me <33
aww this is so cute n bittersweet, we love pretty boy in existential crisis <3
REALEST and thank you sm!!
I love this sm!! Silas's (Silas'?) design is gorgeous <3
I played the browser version (mac) and the sprite right after I told Silas my name was pixellated for a handful of seconds, it kinda jumpscared me ngl (thought I'd made the wrong choice and handed my name and/or my soul off to a fae or smth)
It happened to me too during playtesting T_T it's just loading though! Don't worry, Silas would treat the Lounge's patrons with utmost care <3
I'm glad u enjoyed the game and thank you so much!
Ooh I love this vibe! The small stop before the afterlife door is always a charming place, and the people we'll meet there always picks my curiosity. Silas is very beautiful, I like him a lot!!
Thank you for making this!! It's a great first VN from you!! ^o^
AWWW thank you so much for your support, and for enjoying my game!! Glad you like Silas <33
This kind of reminds me of an anime called Death Parade, it's very lovely ^^ also 10/10 I love this game and I got the good ending except I'm so close to tears that was very bittersweet (is this the right word..?) I love this :') also your art style is absolutely adorable, do you have any socials I could find you on? I'd love to see more of your artwork!
Yessss Death Parade is one of the inspirations for this game and bittersweet is exactly the feeling i hoped to evoke in the ending, so thank you so much!! My @ is linglyum on Tiktok and Twitter (but i think im shadowbanned on the latter :[ if u cant find it please lmk!) Thank u for the love! It means alot ♡
Is your pfp atsushi from bsd? if yes, then I found your tiktok :DD And your welcome!!
The game was so nice! I really like the way you can interpret the ending where you don't tell Silas your name differently depending on weather or not you've already played through the other ending.
I'm so glad someone noticed ( ^ᗜ^ ) Thank you so much for your support!! :]]
Wow, that ending was amazing! Your writing is really evocative. I also love the choice of music here, everything felt super atmospheric and I have a weakness for characters like Silas LOL. You drew him so beautifully! Congrats on releasing your first VN and I can’t wait to see more :D
Thank you so much!! I've played your game before (Swing and Miss) and it lives rent free in my head T__T So honored that you enjoyed my game and thank u for ur support ♡♡
OMGG AAA THANK YOU so much for playing our game !! Thank you for the support as well ♡
this is your first vn?? this is amazing for your first time. the writing was superb, so simple yet flowed so well and it was just overall pleasant to read. The storyline was rather short but it left a lasting impression, this has potential to be a fleshed out storyline ! Your art is super cute too. Please update us if you're making this a fleshed out VN !
Thank you so so much for your kind comment!! Right now i don't have a clear idea on what VN i'll make next, but if i ever plan to expand on this story i'll make sure to write a devlog about it ♡♡ thank u
