PEAK GAME
I adored the demo, the uncanny vibes of it all kept me hooked and eager to find out just what was wrong. SPOILERRSS
I audibly gasped when i found out Luna was a robot all along, really i should've figured it out when i saw her design (as a goth girlie i just thought she had a really cool aesthetic..), found out Ravi's major, and saw how she almost shut down as soon as she left the apartment. It's truly so interesting seeing her interact with people normally, especially her mother. I wonder if they know..ALSO RAVIS DOUBLE IDENTITY?? IM SO CURIOUSSSS I CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL GAME!! i also have to comment on the majestic angelic soundtrack. Need it on spotify!!
Edit: though as someone who anxiously saves at every choice i would really appreciate more save slots!! As soon as i saw there were only 10(ish??) i freaked out LMAO
ahhh thank you so much for your kind words and your theories!! it’s so exciting to read through them!
and to your luck, the soundtrack is already available on Spotify 🥰 https://open.spotify.com/album/2XysZopGCgHnPqZxiQ3zuJ?si=223G-ZT_TYyBkOSnCH_pOQ
And thank you for the note about the save slots, I will keep it in mind for future releases 🩵
OFCOOUURSEE IM SO GLAD!! thanks for the soundtrack, i now have new motivation to study x33
I'm trying to play this game on Android, but it just freezes at the beginning where the MC has to get out of bed but her phone rings and she goes "ugh"
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Some phone systems are unable to run the game properly due to lacking requirements. I advice you to play the web version on the phone, as it’s available and easier to run on your system.
Oh okay
Thank you so much 😊
Someone PLEASE tell me how do I get the full game!!
There is only a Demo, the full game isn’t released yet
ravi is so normal i love that for him
Awesome!! How can I play the full version?
not out yet
peak <3 i could gush about this but ill stop yapping in itch.io comment sections, keep up the good work <3
Quería descargarlo para Android (ya que si miras dice que es para Android) cuando voy al enlace para descargarlo me dice que es para Linux.....
I’m sorry, the game is not available for Android.
There seemed to be an error in the display, but I fixed it now
I would love it if it were in Spanish, it's a shame I can't play it, but it's nice!
🤍ALL ENDINGS🖤
Can’t wait for Chapter 2 <33loved this game!! especially Ravi
Thank you for enjoying this game! Ravi is a special someone, isn't he? 🤭🩵
he really is! Very excited to see more of this game ^^
Very interesting. I like the mc and the visual, music also good. I think found just two endings, what zre others i wonder (beside regular "end of demo")
Thank you for playing the game! 🩵 Actually I only realized after the game's release how many Endings + Alterations of the Endings I actually made.
There are multiple ways to get to each ending: There are Simple Ending A, B, C – the Normal ending and Bad Ending 1 & 2
The Simple Endings are smaller, more abrupt endings compared to the Normal and Bad Endings
this is insanely well done omg ( the soundtracks and the art WOOOOW) and THE STORY!!! is so interesting i cant wait to play it when its done
Thank you so much for your kind words!! 🩵 The team worked so hard on it & the art and soundtrack are truly amazing!!
The composer actually released all soundtracks on YouTube and Spotify, if you want to listen to them outside the game! 🩵

Thank u sm i was searching for this one !!
YOOOO THIS IS FIRE
Thank you, haha! 🩵 What did you think of Ravi? Isn't he just the cutest househusband material? 🤭
OMGGG a hijabi character???!! (☆☐☆)
FRR I LOVE HERR, NEVER SEE HIJABI CHARACTERSS
I think there should be more representation of hijab / muslim characters. Especially muslim woman count to the kindest people I was blessed to meet in my life 🩵
As a hijabi myself, I feel really happy and honored to see a Muslim character being represented in a visual novel game ☺️ I love Kayra's personality and somehow I find her relatable 😅
Can't wait to see where the story will take us 👀 Great job overall!! From the story, visual and music, everything's just *chef's kiss 🤌🏻 Definitely recommend this to my yandere-lover friend heheh
Thank you so much for all your hard work, and please make sure to take care of yourself too 💖
Thank you so much for your kind words! They really mean a lot to me! I tried to make her as relatable as possible without her losing her own personality and seeing that I was able to achieve that brings me so much joy! 🩵
And I'm glad to see you enjoyed the rest of the demo as well and hope you look forward to future updates of this project!
Haha, I love Kayra 🩵 I hope I did her representation as a hijabi woman justice
