I love that game. It's so short and yet so good. I really like the symbolism in the story and I FELL IN LOVE with an art style in the game. Dialog is pretty amazing too. 10/10

I discovered this game and I want to say it's... Amazing. I don't have any other words to describe this masterpiece. I'm not exagerrating. It's been on my mind since... Funny how a game denouncing addiction... Makes me addicted to it.

I was obsessed by how disturbing it is. Really, it depicts in a creative yet realistic way what addiction cause. Even the girl or the boy. Their appearances are so mesmering yet a bit scary.

It took me a while but I wanted to compliment your work. You earned yourself a new fan and I really want to support your future project if it happens and your art. It's wonderful !

Did you base the game off of any specific addiction? I've heard theories that it's about porn, alcohol, and toxic relationships. Any chance you'll tell me which one it's really about?

yeah. it was inspired by getting addicted to depressive tendencies so .. all the theories didn't get it quite right lol. But the game itself is about addiction in general.

Actually I think I just had an epiphany about the game lol. This is at least how I interpret it. Basically it can be about all forms of addiction, because it does make you forget about family and friends and all you think about is whatever you are addicted to. That's at least my interpretation being an addict myself .3.

Brilliant!! It really gives off an amazing mood, made me sad during the longer endings and I felt a bit hollow at the abrupt reality with the shorter ones ;; as always, incredible artwork!

Your skills are amazing! I love the artwork and dark atmosphere. The fact that you're taking on rather uncharted territory/topics with your work is really interesting to me (and with such a short time to develop them! I can't even begin to imagine what you could make if you spent just a week on a project, this alone is already a masterpiece!)

I really hope you plan to make more games, cause I plan on playing all of them!

The story is beautiful, a little sad. I've finished all 4 endings and loved each and every of them! Art is, as always stunningly beautiful. I am simply in love with all of your work, and this game only adds to its uniqueness.

Wonderful game! : ) Already, I've played through one ending. The game is beautifully made and is extremely unique. Your mix of amazing art, interesting story, and atmospheric music made it all come together. For a visual novel that was made in 60 hrs, it's quite impressive. : )
