edit: spelling error

Loved it!

This game is so good!!! The writing, the voice acting, all of it is incredible! I played through to get every ending, and all of them are done so well, I'm so happy that I did! I really loved it!

The first ending I got was the good one and I liked a lot of them being friends and being free, but one of the bad endings when he spares neither the MC nor his family, saying that he can't trust him made me sooo sad, I don't know why I was sad but I was...

It is such a short game that I wished it was longer, the art is really beautiful and the story although short is very good and I really wish there was a sequel... congratulations for the good game! <3

I love it!!

Is there more?! First of all the art is AMAZING, everything blends together so well, like the moodiness of the music, the color pallet and the voice acting, it all fits, I don't know how to explain it. And the story had me hooked, I'd love to know what happens after if anything does happen. But whoo boy that voice acting was amazing!

WOW what a blast!


i loved the art so much. it perfectly fit the ambiance and the writing. i also just always love a good blood sacrifice. the part where the narrator hopes they'll kill him quickly because they love him really got to me.  great work.

LOVE! LOVE LOVE LOVE! AAAA!

everything about this is right up my alley, from the visuals to the story itself, and god was it ever executed well too! i’m really taken with the common thread between the pair of characters being their victimization to the same land, how for the demon he is victimized by being trapped and spoken of in a lying, deceitful way, accused of being something worse than he truly is, and for farm boy it’s that he is literally victimized by the community that claims to love him as they prepare him for a sacrifice of his own life to feed a land that clearly doesn’t love him. it was really nice to have a happier ending where the pair break free from these chains that bind them.

major props to brandon for their voice acting, they capture such distinctly different emotions and tones between the demon and farm boy perfectly, and it elevates this story to a whole new level to hear the characters brought to life in that way. 

totally enamoured with this art too, the colours melt so beautifully together, and the colour palette primarily boasting shades of oranges and greens really speaks to the duality of the characters as well, green being the life and naïveté of the farm boy while the orange is symbolic of the flame and ruin the community, and farm boy by extension, assume of the demon. LOVE intentional details in visuals like that! 🧡💚

this entry has totally sold me on your work, you’ve gained a new follow and fan in me! :- ) 

*edited to correct brandon's pronouns!

I really like this game. I loved the voice acting and the game's atmosphere. 10/10

Can anyone explain how to get the third ending? I got the bad ending and the new beginning ending but I can't figure out how to get the final one.

read "farmboy" as "femboy" about 3 times

(crossposting my review for everyone to see!)

Very nice! Short, but as long as it needed to be. Definitely left me curious about the lore of the world, though. And I wonder what happens to both characters in the good end?

The voice acting was great, too, if a little quiet in some parts even with the voice volume maxed out (but part of that could be my noisy laptop too).

WOW. The whole time I was in awe of everything. The art—massive respect for using a reflection to distinguish two characters! Mirrors are nuts! So much respect for the voice actor, too, for such two incredible and varied voices - especially given that you can't see the farmboy's face at all, but you just know how he feels anyway. And then the music kicked in and it set the tone for such a haunting and earthy tale. The entire time I kept repeating "this is so good" out loud, from start to finish. Such a poignant tale, and the story felt like the perfect length as well.

Bravo! This is the sort of game that inspires me to continue to refine my own writing. Utterly amazing.

Oh, gosh, this was FANTASTIC!! I'm still shivering a bit sitting here writing this now. Everything from the music and sound, to the voice acting, to the art and story and just VIBES was brilliantly done!

Something about stories involving sacrifice really cut right to the core of me and turn my stomach cold for some reason (and I mean that in a way that I love it because they can be so delightfully creepy and ripping of my soul dlkajfsldka). There's just... such a sense of helplessness to them. Of a weird innate sort of evil that exists in large groups of people that feel like they're doing something "for the greater good" and that leads to them to do horrible, terrifying, and sometimes gruesome things. And that, tbh, is scarier than any demon, any supernatural entity, any monster that might be out there. So I really felt myself right away feeling terrified and sorry for the boy. Then when the demon appeared -- GOD. MY GUT DLKAJLFDS. I LOVE the use of the mirror to set up the boy and the demon talking to each other. And the demon's expressions were so delightfully creepy -- coupled with that VOICE, GOD. The voice acting was so well done guhhhhh. The difference between the scared boy and the sardonic charming demon was excellent. And especially the visceral fear in the boy's lines. Just. Absolutely wonderful.

I don't even know what to talk about next it was all so good LOL The art??? HELLO???? I'm in love with the sketchy grittiness of the art and the composition of the shot. And the colors? SOOOOO CREEPY AND AMBIENT. The darkness of the roomed paired with the sharp orange of the setting sun outside and the lines of light it paints across the room. It made my heart thump-thump thinking about how close it must be to the time of the sacrifice and really amped up the tension and aura of unease just painted across everything. Also the music?? slash... sound effect? LOL I think it was all one track? The way it changed, the subtle ins and outs of the semi-melodic parts with the ambient sounds. It was the perfect track for this and was so subtly unnerving.

Overall, just fantastic. I will try to stop rambling here a bit. I ended up choosing to put my hand against the glass first. I couldn't help it LOL I was angry at the villagers for wanting to sacrifice the boy and drawn in too much by the demon perhaps LOL Though I did go back to play the other option out, too, afterwards, just because I was curious what would happen. OH, I FORGOT TO MENTION I LOVED THE LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FARM BOY'S CRUSH AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS TAKING HIS PLACE IN THE SACRIFICE THAT REALLY GUTTED ME GOD. See I knew I would miss something.

ANYWAY I WILL STOP NOW. I just loved this so much. Amazingly done and a fantastic, eerie, visceral experience that will sit with me for a while!!

Yay, another demon game! And what an amazingly polished game! The voice acting really helped raise this, and I loved the look of the entire thing. The writing really made the background of this world come to life, I could imagine all of it. 

I got the bad ending the first time, and then I got the others, but I think that even though it was tragic, the bad ending was my favourite. Sad, yes, but where the story could go from there really interested me! But then, I'm always a sucker for a summoned demon angst story!

outstanding game, amazing concept, clever working of the game jams rules, great visuals and voice acting, insanely well executed all around

WHAT THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! this is SO POLISHED too!! it was a joy to play. loved the setting and how tragic it is <3 incredible job y'all

I loooooove it!  

The presentation for this is soooo good!! I loved everything. The voice acting was incredibly good and I think I could listen to that demon all day.

The story was very good and the kind I 100% enjoy and I definitely did! I want to say more good things, but I'm running out of words so good job! I loved it.
