guys...do not play this if youre scared easily. omg a few months ago i watched a 4-5 hour long video of EVERY SINGLE ENDING and each one was more and more traumatising than the previous one..i couldnt sleep that night. this is genuinely the most terrifying, chilling-to-the-bone game i have ever seen.
super nice game! i especially love the carnival maze music. (might go back in the future just to listen to it)
spoilers;
at the end i actually felt really bad for it :') if there was an option to take it home anyway i would have definitly chosen that. (also, damn that last minigame is hard if you have trouble knowing the difrence between left and right.) i spent quite some time on that one.
This game was pretty fun i got all 40 endings it had some weird vibes in it tho lol. definitely recommend it. probably one of the best visual novels i have played
This was very well written and programmed, you picked the perfect moments to disable to ability to scroll back in dialogue and really stuck the player with their choices. Disabling the load option at the end was a neat idea too, unfortunately I had to continue with ". . ." because I missed ending 37 and I wanted all 40 lol. I also liked how the carnival game trained you for the ending sequence, timers really add a lot to these VNs. Good work!
I just finished the game and oh my! I cannot recommend this more! I was browsing through games on Itch and I kept seeing this one in the popular section and even though I'm not the best with horror, the aesthetic of this game felt (deceptively) welcoming. From start to finish, I was so intrigued seeing how many twists would arise, and how each ending was connected. The hints along the way made me skeptical of what it was, and the ending did not disappoint. The toxic relationship I had with it was rewarding in the end. I actually enjoyed how many endings there were too because I was hooked and I just wanted to keep unravelling the mystery. I thought there was a decent amount because they were all so unique.
It's an amazing game with great music, art style, story, symbolism, humour and vibe. It would be cool to see what other kinds of work you produce if you plan on it. This game was clearly crafted very thoughtfully, and I'm glad I was able to experience it.
i felt bad for IT at the very end i was gen tearing up... why do u love me! why are u crying! why are u pleading for me to stay! come here i want to take u home!!!
omg, this is (&$#ing amazing, the audio quality is imaculate and omg, this is _deepky_ horrifying i love and adore this little eldrich horror mess making cat
I was not expecting that(At least how I interpreted it) IT would be a metaphor for like, depreshon or something. Also I'm a bit(Very) embarresed to admit, I was hoping IT would turn into a hot anime dude :3 :( . Great game
genuinely one of the best visual novels I've ever played, god i love all the metaphors and art and narration and GOD I JUST LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH RAAAGHHH 10/10
Is anyone else having an issue where the game doesn't register endings you've already gotten even if you save on the screen telling you what ending you got?
The game will not register me getting endings 1, 7, 10, 13, 20, 24, 25, 21, 27, 31, and 34. Replaying the route will not count towards unlocking the other endings germanely locking me out of the secret endings despite me doing the work for the above routes. Has anyone figured out a fix to this?
Nvm I figured it out. Turns out I was reloading the game too soon before getting the endings. I just needed to press enter after getting the ending screen for it to count.
Ok now I'm having a different type of trouble. I got endings 24-27 and its confirmed by the endings list. But I'm unable to figure out how to get endings 28 and 29. Can someone please help me?
For endings 28 and 29, you need to go to the "feed the cat" bit, and then just click the third, new option instead of "search your pockets" and "look around"
i have no idea if this is actually the source of the problem, but try *not* loading your saves. it might reset your progress when you load a save. every time you get an ending, start a "new game" (pressing continue) instead and see if that works for you.

I love how if you just don't take the cat home in the first place, you actually get a ending
You'll be fine if you just don't play at all XD

It was really fun.
Definitely felt that way while a few of the endings XD
