Okay its been seven days and twenty hours later lets hop into it.
FIRSTLY: anyone scrolling the comments looking for a reason to play this game(me, seven days and twenty hours ago) just get it. Your device can't play it? Buy one that can.
OKAY FR THO.
I love horror games, and I like games with a good blend of platonic and romantic relationships. Boom, perfect game. Now, really quickly, let me list the positives. Wait, no... sorry, thats not possible. There's just a few (36) too many for this to be quick.
To summarize the BIG positives-
-The music. OH. MY. GOD. AMAZING. Unironically one of the best scores I've ever listened to, with great attention to detail. Music changes how you perceive games, and I felt the music doing that, and more. I literally am just going to.
perfect
adjective
/ˈpəːfɪkt/
- 1. having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be. "life certainly isn't perfect at the moment" Similar: ideal
Flawless
Ultimate
Sublime
In case you cannot tell, it was good. Especially during act 5, it really came together. And while sometimes the slower, more motonteimous sections have more, well, slow and motonteimous music. But the second something high-stakes occurred, the INCREDIBLY unnerving music BLASTED OUT and it was honest to god, TERRIFYING.
-The characters. Spectacular. I especially love Iggy, he's genuinely such a great character, and I am SO happy that he's the protagonist. I especially liked that scene (MAJOR SPOILER) where he chose the option for you in the end of act 5. Actually really cool. And speaking of act 5, thats where we really saw some interesting ideas shine through- we control Iggy, kind of. And the tree kept saying how perfect he was as a vessel, because he has no character himself, he lacks personality and morals. I adore characters that have this... lack of self, and they learn to overcome it.
Which leads into my love of the our cinderella side game- I thought it was so lovely how it didn't feel like WE were the ones being romanced at all- (I don't enjoy romances involving 'me', or just a self insert.) it instead felt like we were helping Iggy, and pushing him into the right direction!
OKAY BACK TO THE CHARACTERS-
Final point on Iggy- (I could yap more, but I have plenty to say about everything else this game has to offer... [menacingly]) I LOVE ACE REP SM- I consider myself demi, and have felt this repulsion towards sexual activity. It's not like I hate it, I just need to trust the person. Which happens to take a lot of time. (Years.) That part of him I've found quite relatable?? Iggy is REALLY well written, and if you take the time to play the side games as well, you'll get and even BETTER written character (very hard, great achievement completed)
GENZOU.
I always choose to romance Genzou. Originally, I was going to go neutral- but. Ah. He's so fun. But before I confess why he's probably my (very close) second favorite character, I have to admit why I love ALL of these characters.
I normally choose what characters I like the most based on morality. Okay, I know, it's a bad way to pick out what characters you like based on just ethics. But like, my many hours worth of philosophy and ethics classes have made me a bit too weak to stan SERIAL KILLERS. And when I first started playing, I was like "Oh! Genzou is probably the best person here!" which turned into- "Oh, he's actually being kind of rude-" to "What the f--k did he say to Orlam-" to "DUDE WHAT THATS SO MESSED UP?!?"
And while I still think Genzou is the most ethical (he is the only one who didn't try to kill his friends!) it was odd. I knew no one in the game was good. Everyone there had some murderous intent or had done some terrible thing. (except the GOAT Hunar) And I didn't ever realize how much I needed that. I was SHOCKED at how quickly I found myself thinking more indepth about every character I saw. I found it harder and harder to hate characters solely on their actions and intent. Normally (spoiler) I would have HATED Gidget for what they did in act 5/act 4, and would NOT have enjoyed their presence AT ALL in the following scenes. But NOPE. I kind of understood it? Eh, this is a tangent. I will be yapping about Gidget, because they 100% have my favorite story.
GENZOUUU.
Honestly, I just liked him. Related to him ALOT.
You know, I got that legally blind s--t (I pray to whoever made contacts, they're my god.)
My collection of bikes >:) I will admit, I've crashed into the road more times than I can actually collect.
I DUNNO I HAVE THE ENTP ENERGY (I like to tell people they're wrong and then not give them a reason at all for why)
But I'm not short tho :) !!!
Okay but fr. His desperate pinning on Iggy was actually so horribly sad. And, no matter what Iggy said or did, he still loved him. He still trusted him. Especially how, if you did romance him, he was always accepting, always understanding. He was probably the most healthy relationship, at least in my opinion? (carrot was that your favorite couple?? I don't know there was just two side games for them...both are super cute btw <3)
AND HIS WISH ACTUALLY I WAS BAWLING.
cool guy
Gidget :)
Out of every character, Gidget is probably the most relatable to me? But the outcomes are quite different lmao
I adored their story, it was well written, understandable, and I loved the closure it had at the end. Even though I was throughly disgusted by what they did to Iggy through every act, via memories and flashbacks, it was quick to piece together the full picture- that of someone who changes for others, hurting themselves in the progress, ignoring their interests, their happiness, their selfhood.
I also did a similar thing, becoming vastly more feminine from the end of middle school to the beginning of high school, just so 'society' would consider me conventually attractive.
They really had, by far, the most visible growth, and the two timelines are, perhaps, the most different. And good for them >:) you ATE my liege!1!
Similarly, I was actually so happy seeing Cecil be... not impaled... in the epilogues, I thought he was actually pretty interesting!!!
orlam.
OKAY, I KNOW. A large portion of the comments are down-bad for Orlam- sure, he's a very interesting character, and I definitely didn't hate him. He was fun to see on screen! But, especially in the final timeline, he would be the worst for Iggy. And, while I don't think they'd be good together, in act 4, I thought Gidget and Iggy were cute, (NOTTHEENDNOTTHEEND) and genuinely had chemistry. I could see there being a slight draw to them. But Orlam...
Honestly, the relationship seemed uncomfortable to me. Maybe thats because Orlam makes me uncomfortable... but I just feel like he's a bit too sexual for Iggy? I can see Gidget, while being disheartened, still accepting Iggy. (And Genzou, being the KING he is ALWAYS accepts Iggy !!) I feel like Orlam would (Oh this is going to sound bad.) pressure Iggy into a sexual relationship?? I don't really know, I haven't gotten his ending, it could be the sweetest relationship ever!
Out of everyone, I feel the most bad for him. He's clearly dealing with immense mental health issues, and coping very poorly. How he acted without his heart was just... really heartbreaking. And when Genzou hugged him, I was actually sobbing.
I don't really have as much to say on Bucks? Her and Hunar were a good couple, and I am quite glad they handled their relationship very well the second time around.
-Art!
The art is really, really cute! Which was interesting, because I was like- wow, they look adorable! This is not scary at all!
(those rabbits those rabbits.)
But it took maybe 5 minutes for me to realize the absolute incredible versatility this style had. Not only were the character designs incredible, portraying everyone quite well, but the designs of the backgrounds and creatures were very impressive.
And OMG? There were so many CGs that it felt like half the time it wasn't a visual novel, it was a f--king movie! And that is 100% a compliment- the creator obviously invested a lot of time into the art, and it SHOWS! This kind of skill to be able to make so much quality art and writing is incredible.
Oh, I haven't even talked about the-
-Writing!
Really good. VERY good. I adored wonderland, its twistedness and nostalgia, dripping with hostility and facades of kindness. The setting itself is something we all know, and carrot could have easily just thrown us into a wonderland we know about already, just added some twists- but NO. They went all out, and created a very different, and very terrifying wonderland. Very few things feel reused, it feels fresh and lively.
My favorite part of the writing was everything surroding the tree, Saydie, and wishes. The concept of wishes fueling the wonderland, that what you want will be what you find- ITS SO GOOD. And the tree, desperately craving wishes, until She reached a breaking point? AMAZING. I actually felt almost bad for the tree. ...Okay, I wish I could burn the tree down-
My favorite part-
The end. 100%. Seeing all the kids saying their wishes, and then having it reset? It was unique, I truly did not think that was coming, but it made so much sense! Seeing what happened to everyone afterward was really satisfying, and as soon as I was done I instantly played every other game Carrots ever made <3
Do I have any complaints?
Mm. Eh. Not really? I suppose I found act 3 a bit boring, and sometimes the constant gore got excruciating (I had the censored mode on, I dislike gore a tad) but served its purpose quite well! When Iggy's fingers were chopped off, I physically flinched, and when Genzou and Iggy got slaughtered in act 2 I wanted to cry.
Probably the most enjoyable game I've played on Itch, and definitely the most well made- I have already drawn Iggy multiple times and have tried to force every living being I know to play the game so I can talk with people about it. GIVE THIS GAME THE FANDOM IT DESERVES!!!!!!!!!
okay!! lots of love,
-emeys
(this is possibly the longest comment ive ever given: to summarize, play the game, love Iggy, stan genzou, give orlam a hug, tell Gidget they matter, drop the soundtrack please)
I had this super normal human teen with a passion for art and making jewelry, with... recycled... skin.... which I stole from my lover.
I DID IT! A TRULY NORMAL PERSON! Young human women, average body, two arms, two eyes, clean teeth, and she likes to sketch, rock climb, and watch.. lectures. interesting.
average best friends boyfriend:
OKAY BUT FR- this game was really good, and balanced that fine line between horror and hilarity. I loved the Bad(?) ending, and loved the energy the music, background and character sprite all gave off. A really incredible game, through and through! I hope you can continue making games!!!!

I literally want to punch geist
I want to hug kalei and I feel quite bad for the mc they don't deserve this lmao- Geist kind of reminds me of a friend I once had, and people like that are terrible. he's a great character- not a great person.
15 minutes later I have decided to do the Geist ending. I HATE HIM EVEN MORE. he is quite literally the living embodiment of self deprecating thoughts except it's just some weird British guy. The things he said to the mc are things ive said to myself- and so has everyone else. AUWDWHIQWDH chatter cap you're so good at writing its not even funnyyyyy!!
