Exorcize Me
--------------------
Your family believes that a "demon" resides in you. Even though you've never believed in that kind of stuff, you can't help but dwell on that idea.
You're taken to get this "demon" exorcized. Who knows, maybe you'll finally be what's considered "normal" to your family. Maybe... you'll be able to stop hiding your true self... if that "self" even survives this.
--------------------
Features:
-Beautiful artwork (including 20+ cgs!)
-Beautiful soundtrack
-A very snarky narrator(we need something to contrast the dread of this one!)
-Around 20-40 minutes of playtime
-A single, inescapable ending
--------------------
Note: This game, like my other games, contains some pretty sensitive content. Player discretion is advised.
Another Note: This game takes place in the same universe as my other games, but you don't need to play them to understand this game!
Created for the 6th RPGMaker Horror Jam, hosted by Beregon and Daybloom Project!

Very neat, heavy, and depressing game, with very neat visuals and bgms, and also tackled some topics, that still happens to this day really well. I have more... a bit.. in the description of the vid/s. But yeah. Certainly a rollercoaster of emotion/s.
(I was going to comment about this earlier, but laziness happens.)
The art and writing in this game are amazing. The story however was just tragic and I do wish there was a glimpse of a having ending. 10/10.
The art i s amazing, the environment is beautifully done, and the story is very sad for how short the experience is, making it hit even harder than if it had been a longer one.
I saw some comments saying that it references some of your other work, and I think I'm going to have to play those now too. :D
I really enjoyed it, great job!
im gonna be honest, this is the first game to ever make me cry
Love the gameplay, the background and the story setting. it's really thrilling.It's beautiful, the interactions are charming too. The only thing I would say could be improved is the art style...but still it's a delicate game
10/10 gameplay, totally consistent with the narrative
story 10/10, very good mystery and intrigue
art 11/10, beautiful and unique
What more can I say? I loved it!! (つ≧▽≦)つ
It was emotional, interesting and fun to play, the only thing is that I would have liked to have more missions/interactions sjsjjssj
just played your first game with the yuri and finally played this one, the doomed yaoi was so good omg looking forward to more!
OMGOMGOMG MANLYBADASSHERO REFERENCE?????
scary story
found a typo🔎
Very beautiful game. Religion be damned. Doomed yaoi. Several other things. I loved it. Pretend this is a good, meaningful comment.
Every comment I get is meaningful :)
Btw I really loved that cute cat with the hat and it's clock-like tail wagging...
Terrifyingly bitter, yet at the same time beautiful, as if we're dancing to our doom. The last moment of a person, before they're gone encapsulated in the game. Sad that this sort of things still happens in the world...
As usual amazed how you're making all this game lmaoooo
ALSO DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE CARDINAL PARK CASE
The first thing I woke up to today is a LiminAce game jam lol, even though this one is shorter and has only one ending, it's still very decent and I enjoy it! Was almost lost at the candles puzzle tho, I really didn't notice the candles at the entrance for some reason.
Spoilers:
I was half expecting the end to be more uplifting but got crushed pretty hard ("Divinity" really forbids men having fun huh), I've heard some horrible stories about parents sending their "confused child" to camps where they have to go through shady program and training that are supposed to "fix" them or sth, most got themselves tortured mentally and physically just to get back in the box of normalcy, while other stories about random cults and religious groups literally poisoning followers for "enlightenment" are more common, this version of yours is definitely new (to me at least) and a little scarier, they performed an actual surgery on the main character which I don't think is possible in this day and age yet (or maybe I just don't know enough but that's still possible to some degree I guess).
I also like that there are references to the previous game - The Cardinal Park Case, shedding some light on the mom's background - Adalia Hallows, this also makes me wonder when her twin sister will appear (just noticed recently by watching Clock's playthrough), seems like everyone will be in double trouble as long as those 2 sisters are still around, and poor Asher didn't escape contractual marriage 🥲, he must have gone thru hell just like Clarence, at least he still retains some of his "self" I guess, btw the first time I saw him I thought he was Oliver in teenage years lol.
The only thing missing now is ManlyBadassHero playing this one (you know why), it'll be epic, but hopefully no one will get too mad about this whole religion bad thingy once this game reaches certain high. Good work and keep it up!
And just like usual I also made a playthrough! I remember there was a spare word "to" somewhere in the dialogues, but everything else works fine.
Thank you for playing!!! I always look forward to your playthroughs!
Spoiler: The surgical process performed on Clarence is a lobotomy. It was something that people would force others into if they weren’t considered to be “normal.” However, the process would usually leave the patient extremely docile and detached from reality, assuming they even survived it.
About the religion thing, I don’t think that people will get mad unless they happen to be insanely hypocritical! The religious critique is mostly against hypocrites that use religion as a means to propagate terrible things.
Thanks for the information, now I'm gonna have temporary paranoia about needles sticking up my prefrontal cortex 💀
