Loving the update, thank you for the additional content. Your writing and art style are just absolutely gorgeous, I love It Paints Me even more on this play through than I did the first. Thank you!
I just finished playing and I'm officially destroyed (and very scared.) The music, the art, the writing... everything is eerily beautiful and tragic, and that's something I really love about your games. Very good job! You kept me glued to my chair.
Woah, I completely didn't expect that ending, everything was a form of twists and turns and really there was no sort of closure for Sam or Marie or any sort of ending that was resolved which I have to say, is quite eerie. I love the atmosphere of this one, it's tense and charged, filled with unease with a hell of an unreliable narrator and a terrifying unexplained story.
I guess all gothic horrors do have that unexplained horror factor that the narrative doesn't want to explain which is so eerie and unsettling to me (in a good story perspective!) I have to say, I love how you draw Marie because oh boy I was so charmed by her design which made the attraction people feel towards her very obvious, not only that, but the way you set up the story and write the words really popped up in an elegant way. I feel so bad for Sam but it appears to be he is as flawed as a selfish person is since 'Sam' won't let them rest as he seems so fixated on painting.
I wonder if he was never given the chance to paint since he worked hard as a tailor and he was so desperate to make a name or talent of himself, either way, amazing unsettling job!
Was scrolling around for something new to play and the gothic aesthetics here caught my eye and just, woww. This visuals and the art and the music all come together to make some kind of haunting beauty of a game and I love it. Hugs and kisses!
i am completely enamored with this one! it caught me completely off guard with both endings, it was both sad and beautiful. this game feels very haunting, like a memory that'll be with you forever. the art for both endings, especially Marie's, is both uncanny and alluring, as well as the story. i loved this one, and i look forward to future projects and releases!
I saw your illustrations on twitter a while ago, which made me really interested in checking this out, but I only sat down and got around to it today. This was such a fantastic experience. As others have mentioned, I definitely could feel some House in Fata Morgana influence (one of my favorite visual novels ever, so a very good thing) - especially with the sound design choices. The music is incredibly effective, and the music/sound design/visuals/UI are all so cohesive.
Really impressed by your work and I will definitely be following to check out future projects from you.
This reminds me of The House in Fata Morgana in terms of atmosphere, background music and sentiments evoked... very beautiful and haunting. I really love this game, please make more! Absolutely wonderful.
The visual novel, while simple in play-through and story telling, is one that is absolutely beautiful. It takes a simple concept and puts you through a whirlwind of emotions as the truth gradually gets revealed. The art style is lovely and the two endings are ones that fit the story that was set up perfectly - There is no right or wrong way of ending it. It's a matter of how the player (the character) chooses to handle their grief. It only took me maybe 10 minutes, if that, to read through and play but it was well worth it. This visual novel was one I played and am keeping in my collection so I can enjoy it again. A wonderful way of doing a gothic style visual novel.
Amaizing game! The artwork was gorgeous and the music was beautiful! I absolutely loved the overall vibe carried throughout the story and really liked the sound effects played while readding. ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT <3 thank you for making this awesome game :)
Really enjoyed this. The music and language is lovely, I really enjoy the overall tone carried throughout your writing. Descriptive, haunting, yearning. I think more than the shadow being slowly pulled from Sam, what I liked most was the haunting recollection of how it once was - both with Sam and Marie and memories of family long gone. Very haunting.
will reply to this comment later for post game commentary!!! first impressions tho: "If only lifting your brush didn't fill your fingertips with agony." makes it sound like the mc has arthritis and i think thats funny
Great game! The art style is beautiful and I love the body gore art work. Both endings were great, I think ending 1 is my favourite. Good job on the game!
just wow.. amazing artwork, beautiful and sad storyline, and wonderful music. it made me cry on both playthroughs haha,, it was kinda eery but i got the 2nd ending first so i was more sad than creeped out. thank you for making this masterpiece :'))
I have loved your game, the atmoshere is so special. I want to translate this game into french so more people can enjoy it, if you give me the permission of course.

Thank you so much! Fata Morgana has definitely influenced some of my Gothic style works, haha.
