This game absolutely killed me in the best way. I loved it so much, everything about it! The artstyle, the story, the characters, the voice acting, everything was done beautifully <3
an absolute work of art. the writing really sucks you in, and the art is the same. i love it. the voice acting is really well done too! i love love love love love this game <33
OH MY GOOD NESS!!! I’m utterly amazed by the eerie, yet mesmerizing beauty of your game. The quality is truly exceptional, and I’m particularly drawn to the gothic horror aesthetic + atmosphere infused into your storytelling and art direction!! The UI choices, font and sound design are perfectly fitting. Loved the story, and found Sam’s pov an enjoyable and unsettling ride. I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon your work today <3
Such a 'Annabel Lee' type of story, and it also gave me some hints of 'The Tell-Tale Heart' by Edgar, which is very ravishing. A really unique and great game. The art, music, voice, etc. which was RAVISHING!
So tragic and sad, but still beautiful! I love the music so much... And the art, and the voices! I love everything about it. It's short, but sweet. Thank you for sharing with us.
This was lovely! It reminded me of one of my absolute favorites, The House in Fata Morgana. I was wondering if you took some inspiration from it, which would be incredible because we need more stories like that one! Even your main character reminds me of Michel. Thank you for the experience. I'll definitely play/read whatever else you release.
It actually is! I wouldn't say it's directly inspired, but Fata Morgana is one of my favourites VNs and some of my gothic leaning works do have little nods to it. ^^
ahh i love everything about this game! the music, voice acting, such a beautiful art style and the gothic atmosphere reminded me of e.a. poe and the picture of dorian gray. I will definetely play the other games<33
Everything about this game was beautifully made. Thank you so much for letting me/us experience it. Truly an excellent piece of art. The writing and story as a whole, was a bless to read. And don't get me started with the art and voice acting. Absolutely lovely.
even tho there's 0 implications of it in the canonical story, i can't help but feel that whatever we saw will repeat and repeat and repeat. sam and marie's agony, it's a chasm too deep to not be eternal. needless to say i absolutely adored this game
Thank you so much for playing and leaving your thoughts! It's interesting to hear this since the early concepts of the story had a bit of exactly what you described. I wanted the final story to have some closure though, so I didn't play around with it. :')
Really moving story for me, really liked the art, and the writing. I liked the voice acting, tho not that much, but then again i am not a voice acting critic. Really good work. A piece of art.
The art is honestly amazing as well as the voice acting and music and overall the game is great I don't play games much but I got really into this. And I love how the voice acting holds so much emotion, the game is amazing, good job really!
not only is the art absolutely gorgeous, the music is amazing and i really really liked the clicking sound, it was really nice!! and well, the story is so unbelivably sad yet strangely beautiful in a way. amazing game
The writing, the music, the art, even the satisfying clicky sound for the buttons! So many things come together so well. I enjoyed this beautiful dark tale a lot. You are so talented!
this was absolutely gorgeous. from the atmosphere to the art and story telling. also the va's did a wonderful job. this might be one of my favorite visual novels yet!!
I am really dumb. I enjoyed the game, but I didn't really understand the story. Can someone explain? Is Sam there at all, or is it some sort of demon. What are the icon things that appear during most endings?
I'm not entirely sure if this is correct but from what I understood was sam died but is now kind of "undead" and still is a person but is rotting like a corpse would but doesn't fully understand that. So sam is still technically person even though he died of his illness. Please correct me if I'm wrong though.
What a beautifully tragic story. The game left me feeling the same way as I felt when I first read The Picture of Dorian Gray, atmosphere included, and that's my favorite book of all time. The story, the writing, the artwork, the voice acting.... just wow. This is one of those games that will indubitably stay with me forever. Thank you for creating such a wonderful experience!
IM SCREAMING i made this itch.io account purely to comment. i love this game so much, its already a new hyperfixation for me... i absoloutely adore the art style, i adore the story and the messages behind the game, its one of the most creative short games ive ever played and i MEAN that. thank you for the new hyperfixation
hey guys hear me out- sam please give me a chance i promise ily <3 (but seriously though. as an artist i feel the same way as sam in ending 2. i too would never give up my artistic abilities for anything. death or life <3)
Honestly, I just fell in love with this game. Especially the voice acting and the music/ Even if it was a short game fleeting like a dream, I sure won't forget its beautiful impact.

Amazing. The art, sound, writing, everything!
Ending 1 was delightfully twisted, though I didn't see it til my second playthrough cuz I couldn't make that choice at first.. Bravo!
Thank you so much! ^^
this hurt so beautifully... especially Melpomene...
What a beautifully tragic story. The game left me feeling the same way as I felt when I first read The Picture of Dorian Gray, atmosphere included, and that's my favorite book of all time.
