The way (you) is written in the description was a good way to hint the game will interact with me the player but I wasn't sure what to expect (creepy, funny, something else ?).
Well after playing it I can say I really liked how it's done! Not understanding what Amelie is talking about scared me just enough without going full psychological horror, it felt deserved to finally get an explanation along with them getting their good ending. Glad I helped those two~
Not sure if it's intentional but sometimes I felt Amelie sprites were looking at me instead of Michi. And at the beginning of the game I immediately restarted and named myself Michi (and Amelie) to see what would happen, it's a nice touch you thought about that lol
Wahh thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the psychological twist, and that it was conveyed properly!
Also glad you liked the naming easter eggs, it was something I had planned since the beginning thinking no one would notice!
do you have any plans to make a mac version </3 this game looks so cute and i wanna playyy
I'll definitely consider uploading a mac version! The only reason I haven't is because I don't have a way to test it, but I'm more than happy to try!
Mac version has been added! Please feel free to let me know if there's any issues playing it, hope you enjoy!
omg hell yeahhhhh ill let u know
i just finished the game!! there were no problems on mac and this story was so good!
SPOILERS: i like the sort of dokidoki literature vibes it has! it was so good that i wish it was longer, but i also think that the short and to the point style is great too. <3
Thank you for playing!
I'm glad you liked the story! I get what you mean by doki-doki vibes, there's definitely some inspiration from that(and You and Me and Her) so I'm glad it came through!
So much style and substance in one package~ <3 I really enjoyed this story ^O^
Really glad you liked it, thank you for playing! <3
I just downloaded it I am so excited to play it seems so great!
Hope you enjoy it!
Ohhh at some points while I played I thought I knew where the game was going, that this would be a more yandere-like type of game, but I'm very pleasantly surprised! The idea of having your life uprooted because it's suddenly been made part of a game and having your decisions be dictated by the 'player' while your friend is aware of what's going on and very scared... it's good stuff. I really like the concept.
And I think it was really nicely executed. Especially near the end there, The resolution was very sweet, but it felt earned despite the game's short length. I enjoyed the writing and the art a lot.
Ahh thank you so much! I'm really glad the 'body snatcher' horror stuff came through, and that you were still able to be surprised!
Your review made my day, thank you for playing!
Hi I liked your game! Good story and good art too! Length was perfect too for a story like this I feel without giving the reader too much time to guess!
Oh wow, thank you so much for playing!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, keeping the length short and sweet was one of my goals when writing it so i'm glad it paid off!
