Yo I thought the game was great, do you have a way for people to donate to you? I don't see anything listed anywhere and I'd like to send a couple dollars your direction
it was such an amazing game. the character design was on point and the endings were fun to get. Worth every second I spent in the game. I especially loved the idea of hiding every once in a while. It made the puzzle solving more intense and made it seem strategic at times. AWESOME JOB!!!!!! hope you keep developing games because you're so talented
hi i love the game, when going for certain endings do you have to pick up notes and stuff or can i skip it or will that cause problems with the game or endings? for example the code for the padlock in the kitchen, can i just type the code or do i have to have interacted with the note and tv for it to give me the ending?
Hello! You don’t have to pick up the notes and stuff, you can speedrun through the steps! but make sure not to input any passcodes before their intended time in-game.
I just realized you made Giselle too! Yeah, I like your stuff. The timer feature and random rooms... this definately was more technically sophisticated than most RPG maker games. Anywho... Kanpai!
this game is so good holy crumbs, i was yelling at ian through the screen the whole time LOL. this is definitely the best game i've seen for a long time. i love the plot, the character designs and basically everything. my friends loved it too since i was showing them screenshots of me playing. overall i give it a 10/10 i've not managed to get all the endings but i've gotten; study partner, true end, sick and self defence (sorry my spelling isnt great)
Hi ! This game was so cool to play ! I really liked the visual, the drawings, and all these littles puzzles to solve. Thank you for making this game free. <3
All of us Loved Playing This Game! We especially loved how Ian called out all of our very dumb decisions haha! He was right about us being dumb, because we were struggling on those puzzles lol. They were pretty clever so we enjoyed figuring them out! We got the bad ending our first go around lol but we decided to leave out the other endings to encourage the viewers to check out your great game! Big kudos and we hope to see more games from you!
I really like the plot of the game, but I didn't like the endings so much, I would have liked an ending where Ian drives June crazy to make her fall in love with him,Other than that I really like the game keep chasing your dreams.
Ight so in my last video, I accidentally broke the game. I watched others' gameplay (I know the walkthrough file exists, I'm just lazy) and noticed what was wrong. Nonetheless, I decided to stop making videos of this game cuz what's the point anymore lol
Anyway, personal issue aside, now for the game review.
Overall, it has some great bits and cute art. The game sometimes does bugged out but if it had clearer instructions, it would be very smooth. The soundtrack is ehh, you could either make some OSTs or ask for help from musicians instead of using copyrighted materials. Great story, not the best, but it has nice execution. Conclusion: 7/10
By the way, next time you make a game, hmu when you need OSTs, I'm a VGM producer :)
Ah i see. Well, for starter, some of the music you used in the game got my video two copyright claims lol. Its not a big problem, but it could demonetize a video.
I LIKE YOUR GAME VERY MUCH!!! And I spend some time translating it into Chinese，I have done it. If you need the files, I can send you an e-mail(I don't know your e-mail address at present).
Wowowow :O!! I love this game sm omg!!!! :D the writing here is great & the art is too!!1! :D looking forward to future work from u, im sure they will be vry exceptional >:)!!!!!!
This game was really good! I enjoyed thevunique mechanics such as hiding, as well as the "you cheated" cutscene I got on my second run when I tried to skip the natural game progression and unlock a drawer early haha. I got every ending, and I really liked it all!
i loved this game!i got all the ending and they were amazing!that inspired me so much that i want to create a game on my own, even if i don't know where to start, i'll figure it out :)
Im ngl im raging at this game a little bit. Im supposed to pepper spray Ian once I leave the kitchen arent I? according to the walkthrough. He keeps going from room to room instead of waiting for me outside the kitchen door.
This game is so awesome the art style is so cute and everyone looks so cool, the puzzles are a bit tricky (I may just be dumb) but it's overall a really good game with a great story!
Great job with this game; the visuals are really nice, particularly the ending images. You created an interesting narrative with a nice variation between the endings to make it feel worth hunting them all down. I was not expecting Ian's box of trophies in the basement, no wonder our friends don't like him if people just go missing after visiting him.
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I was able to make the pilled spray bottle without lighting the stove with the matches.
This was sooooo good. I keep downloading games like this, not knowing what to expect and then being surprised! The game isn't super long but it has been really well paced, I feel like a lot of puzzle games struggle to get the balance between too simple and impossibly hard that this game has achieved. It was super fun to play, the art (esp character portraits) was really good and I was excited to explore each ending. Great job!
Wow that was fun! I enjoyed playing the game and I was curious to try everything and get all the endings, I got 5 so far including the true ending, so there's one left.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I'm no game developer, but I have a couple of points to highlight about the game.
What I loved about this game:
The art style, I already follow the artist and I love their art style, the game's art style is similar to it. I also love the purple-ish color scheme of the whole game.
The music is immersive and really good, it fits the style of the game and it helps immerse the player into the game.
The character design. This is an extension of the art style, but I especially loved the character design.
The story is immersive, the hide and seek technique, the puzzles, the music, the dark atmosphere, and the context of being kidnapped by a psycho all cooperate to make the game suspenseful. It feels like watching a horror movie except you're controlling the characters, and the game's style helps in making it feel scarier. I love it!
Some things that can be improved:
Automatic transitions, when going through doors and stuff, it would be a bit smoother if it happens automatically instead of having to press the spacebar every time.
Adding a skip button for conversations, this is useful when you've already finished the game and want to get the other endings, you won't have to sit through parts that you've already seen.
Some suggestions that I have seen in similar games:
Each ending has a unique graphic, it would be awesome if you can download those graphics (and some wallpapers or concept art) from the developer's website.
Adding more chapters to this game, or making a bigger game using the same concept. The characters are interesting, I felt that I want to know more about their backstories. I wanna know more about what happened to the previous students, what happened to Ian's family, and so on. The story was so interesting that I didn't get enough of it, I wanted more!
Overall, I enjoyed this game, I'm definitely looking forward for more games by the developer. Great job 👏
Thank you so much for this review! I really appreciate you taking your time to highlight these points. As for skipping dialogue, holding down the spacebar speeds up the game a bit. I forgot to put it in the controls though 😭

The music I use is free to use for non commercial games (from what I know). If I used anything that isn’t fair use, please tell me!
As for the bugs, I’m working on fixing them. I’m so sorry about that :((
Ah i see. Well, for starter, some of the music you used in the game got my video two copyright claims lol. Its not a big problem, but it could demonetize a video.
I see! Which ones were they? So I can change them
thank you so much!
I LIKE YOUR GAME VERY MUCH!!! And I spend some time translating it into Chinese，I have done it. If you need the files, I can send you an e-mail(I don't know your e-mail address at present).

I’m so glad! If you need any help, you can message me on instagram! :>
woaaaahhh i love this game. every second of it kept me interested and it was the perfect length; not too long not too short. love love love it
very nice puzzles!!
Im ngl im raging at this game a little bit. Im supposed to pepper spray Ian once I leave the kitchen arent I? according to the walkthrough. He keeps going from room to room instead of waiting for me outside the kitchen door.
Hello! This seems to be a bug and I genuinely can’t find it :((. Can you tell me step by step what you did since this section of the game started.
I really loved playing this game. I liked the art style, and the puzzles were fun too. Good Job!
I didn't even know it was the first ending lol
This game is so awesome the art style is so cute and everyone looks so cool, the puzzles are a bit tricky (I may just be dumb) but it's overall a really good game with a great story!
Very good game
nice scary
i really enjoyed this game! i loved slowly unraveling the mystery and the time mechanic was really fun.
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I was able to make the pilled spray bottle without lighting the stove with the matches.
Looking forward to playing what you create next.
That is indeed a bug! Thank you for informing me :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

even with walthrough I can't get end 3. I got the spray but when I find Ian he just kills me
Where do you die? In the hiding section, or near the end?
after i make the spray, i leave the kitchen, and when timer is zero, Ian kills me as usual
That is weird... I'll re-test that section! Did you follow the walkthrough exactly? I'm so sorry :(
no, it's ok:) I think i did exactly what walkthrough says, maybe i should try again from the start
Do you leave the kitchen and find the timer still running?
I bloody loved this game, I hope it truly does pop off for you because it would be a shame to keep this game hidden in the archives!
Wow that was fun! I enjoyed playing the game and I was curious to try everything and get all the endings, I got 5 so far including the true ending, so there's one left.

does this skipping work only in MV?
because I've played so many rpgm games and had no idea T_T
I think so!!
