I went in expecting a cute little otome and ended up shaking by the second Anthony route. The writing is SO good. The contrast between how sweet he seems at first and what he actually does... chef's kiss 🔪
The art style is adorable which makes the horror moments hit even harder. Milo's route absolutely destroyed me emotionally. Comfort Kuma Studios really nailed the tonal balance here.
Solid demo! Voice acting adds a lot even in partial form. I appreciated the pronoun options — more VNs need that. Looking forward to the full release in 2027. Kickstarter backed!
Rylee is everything. The art on their CGs is stunning. I replayed the demo three times just for them. Cannot wait for the full harem route stretch goal content!!
One of the best free VN demos I've played. The social media investigation mechanic is genuinely unsettling. You start piecing things together before the protagonist does and that dramatic irony is brilliant.
