IM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME, cannot wait for day 3 to come out, its so beautiful, all of it, the themes, the tension, i love jim so much already
"this game can't be that good-" "holy moly😍"
idk why i commented this
I love this so so much. the art is so beautiful and the story is so interesting
Let me preface this by saying I found the game by looking up "horror Visual novels" So... I wasn't expecting romance and made some odd choices 🤣
It's really good though and the love interest is described too much like me for me to not to have been weirded out when I had mentally solidified myself (vocally) as the protag and things went sideways.
Absolutely amazing, you can tell it has profound story depth and a really intriguing plotline just from day 1-2! Jim is so lovely and mysterious as well, and the choices are chef's kiss!! Love it when a visual novel has so many choices that you can curate the personality of your character.
Me voy a esforzar en mis clases de ingles para no andar traduciendo en el celular JAJAJA. En fin, me gusto pero muchisimo tu juego, espero con ansias pero sin presion a ver el dia 3!
ahora me arrepiento no prestar atencion en clases de ingles, espero el dia 3 con ansias <33

adoro a jim pero mi ingles nivel roblox no me permite disfrutar del todo la historia
yooo
can't wait for day 3 !!<3
It's been a while since a character and an interaction made me feel so flustered. I love it; please, continue the game.
I love this. It is perfection. This writing, the story, the comfort, even the facial expressions and animations is all excellent. This is like gold. I hope to read the rest.
I luv this omg
AHHH this was so good! I loved this game and ofc i love me a psycho blonde man but I look forward to the next updates!! So excited for this game and honestly so thankful I stumbled upon it at nearly 3 am!
cannot wait for more!
AAAAHHH i'm so obsessed with this and i'm itching to know what happens next, this is such a breath of fresh air compared to most of the story games i play on here <3 the setting and art are beautiful by the way, the colours are so pleasing to the eyes
I love it. I hope we will be able to play the complete game soon!😍
Absolutely loooove it cant wait for more!
Stumbled upon this randomly, fell in love with the storytelling and became obsessed with piecing the lore together. Got all wood carvings and ngl, fox & wolf are SO fun. Wolf especially. I looove pissing Jim off lol. There’s so many lore hints but my fave is the little detail with the moonpetals either protecting rabbit mc or being shoved down their rebellious fox/wolf throat hmmm 👀 I am waiting patiently to see what day 3 brings. Love how much branching the game has <3
I like how Jim isn't overly creepy, in fact he's not really creepy at all, to me at least. It kinda sets it up to where when he does get more obsessive later, it would be more surprising (but obviously we know there's something more sinister). For now Jim is just a chill guy fr. (also he's so fine yall)
LO AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, por favor, sigue, estoy llorando. Ojalá no lo hubiera acabado, necesito que me borren la memoria para volverlo a jugar, necesito otro capítuloooooooooooooo, él es TAN LINDOOO.
no me importa si nos tranca en su casa, adoro a jim (*/ω＼*)
