"For me, a world with only you is enough."

Two weeks ago, Nelli sent her long-term boyfriend, Raku, the following text: "I'm breaking up with you." She has been successfully avoiding him ever since...until her bike chain breaks. He helps her, but now she's trapped in a forest with only her broken bike, a cellphone with no reception, and her slightly creepy ex-boyfriend for company. He wants to talk, and one thing is clear: he really doesn't want to break up. (He probably won't take no for an answer.)

The prequel to Karamu, Kanau, is officially out! It's meant to be played after playing Karamu. You can check out the next game here!

I just created an account to comment, this was my first experience with a game like this , and I say from the heart that it was incredible! Everything was wonderful, art, story, soundtrack, THE WONDERFUL DUBBING I just wanted to say that if the dollar wasn't so expensive I would make a donation :( (I'm Brazilian) anyway, thank you for making it accessible for Android, it's very difficult to find compatible ones! I will definitely recommend the game!

Интересная и очень атмосферная  новелла! А ещё, немного напугало, что характером и поведением Rakuo похож на моего бывшего друга, который так и не стал парнем... 

Вообще, я люблю все произведения с жанром Яндере, но в реальности такое действительно может напугать. 

Мой английский плох, поэтому мне пришлось искать переводчик для приложений. 😭 Кстати, может кому-то понадобиться, я использовала «Bubble Translate»

ohhhhhhmyGODDDD. THIS GAME WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE.

i can't even properly put it into words but this game has swept me off my feet. the way the story progressed and the plot began to unravel itself was written so well, and every other element in the game adjusted so well to each scenario that really upped that suspense!! don't get me started on that INSANE voice acting. the tone and words used for the dialogue was executed perfectly, with raku sounding so softspoken and loving as he became much more unhinged. this entire game surpassed my expectations since it takes such a long time to come across actually good writing for characters with a yandere complex, and this game did exactly that. i love how our mc isn't a complete saint herself either, and how you really have to think about the morality of each scenario.

i can't rate simply this 10 out of 10 because the scale is an insult to the beauty of the game. props to the creators!!

(AHHH I'm sorry that it took so long to approve this, the itch censors ate it and hid it 😭 and I don't get notifications fghfg) 

OH GOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH, beautiful/swept you off your feet 😭 😭 that's such high praise, gosh 🥹  I'm SO happy that you enjoyed how the mystery unraveled, I was worried it was too much of a slow burn 😂 and gosh yes, I cannot praise the VAs enough, I am so lucky that I was able to work with them! (And 🤭 I'm glad you enjoyed Nelli! I think she and Raku make a good pair, at least morally speaking 🤭) 

Gosh 😭 YOU'RE TOO KIND, I'm so grateful that you took the time to play and write such kind comments 🥹

Hello)

For the Chattercap. I'm really, really sorry that I'm being too persistent, but you didn't respond to the email, and just in case it got into the spam folder, I'll duplicate my offer here. Would you like to translate your game into another language?

***

Well... If you are a person who reads the comments because you doubt whether it is worth playing this game, do not hesitate. Play it. I don't want to spoiler, but (I'll do it... maybe later) this is a pretty interesting game, during which I experienced many different emotions. The main characters are just buns, not with cinnamon, but with hot pepper, ahah)

***

A LITTLE SPOILER (maybe)





To be honest, I was looking for something tougher, straight out of the "I'd rather kill you than give you to someone" series, but Raku turned out to be pretty cute, and nevertheless, I liked it. At the beginning of the game, I just wanted to squeeze him, he was so adorable. Just a cutie.

***

SPOILER!!!






My first ending was the one in which the police came to Nelli. Then I went through all the forks, but nothing changed. It took me a while to realize that the point is that you need to go through to the end, and not start over as soon as you meet a familiar piece of text, that is, that in general the conversation can go according to more or less one scenario, but at the same time the set of answers changes the end. That's a pretty cool idea, by the way.

My second ending was the one where Raku described to Nelli her whole plan in the best traditions of detectives. He was damn hot, especially when he called the smell of blood "delicious". 

I don't remember in what order the remaining two endings took place, but the one in which Raku is going to punish Nelli was so cruel because it ended in the most, MOST interesting place, ahah... In general, I was very sorry that the game ended, and I am very glad that a sequel is planned.


P. S. I didn't plan on writing so much, ahah)

(+1)

AHH HELLO, no, no, you're not being too persistent at all!! (If it's regarding the Russian TL, I'm sorry for the late reply, I was flustered by the kind offer and trying to come up with a good reply 😭 I've replied now, if that was you!) 

HOT PEPPER BUNS FGHFGH 😂 I've never thought about it that way but I really love that 😂😂 Alas I have pretty soft preferences when it comes to love interests in general, even yans 🤣 so I was worried that people wouldn't like Raku because he's too soft, but I'm glad people enjoyed him regardless 

===SPOILERS====

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the endings!! I won't lie that I was considering writing a continuation to the "punishment" ending but I couldn't make it work plot-wise so I dropped it for the time being 🤣 I am considering a spicy spinoff project though 🔥 and wrote a few scenes for it already! I'll probably make a post at some point to see if that's something that people would be interested in lolol 

Thank you again for playing and reaching out to me 🥹 I'm so honored!!

Yes, it was me, I saw your answer, thank you)


SPOILER!






Ahah, I had no chance to resist Raku. In fact, yandere is a type of character which is cool to read about, but which is absolutely not cool to have as a partner in real life. Raku is an exception. He loves obsessively, he really is a monster, but you can trust him with anything: your life, your soul, yourself and everything that is dear to your heart. In addition, the relationship with him seems to be as comfortable as possible. Maximally. So yes, I had no chance.

What am I even talking about here, if at times, going through the game, I begged Nelli not to be too strict with him, although initially I treated him rather... I don't know... skeptical, perhaps? Well, for example, I laughed when he didn't want to leave Nelli alone in the woods, mentioning Sana, because I thought he was the one who killed her. Well, who knows? Sana was Nelli's best friend, after all. Yandere could easily become jealous of her and want to get rid of her so that she would not attract the attention of his partner to herself.


OHHHH, I'm looking forward to it! I am very, VERY interested in how you implement this, but I'm not rushing you in any way)


Thank you for the answer and I wish you success! ❤️

UPDATE: It wasn't as bad as I thought I think it due to the design also the story was amazing, The PLOT TWIST was chef kiss I'm not kidding when I say your a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious creator (I needed a better word to describe you)

LOL I'M RELIEVED 😂 and I'm very glad you enjoyed it!!!  I'm so honored to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ✨

(+1)

I love the creepy and tense atmosphere you build up as you go through the game and the plot twist of the true ending was quite surprising (in a good way). Raku is my favorite type of yandere where he has an established history with MC/Nellie and his yandere-ness feels like a slow unraveling where at the end he becomes fully unhinged instead right from the start. I also love that based on our choices MC is allowed to be morally ambiguous because of the potential for unhinged MC x unhinged ML (one of my favorite tropes). With the added context from Kanau, it is so interesting being able to go back to this game, comb through the dialogue and get a deeper and better understanding of Raku's and Nellie's backgrounds and characterizations. I can't wait for sequel!

AHH thank you so much for the kind words 😭 💦 I'm really glad that you like the slow unraveling of Raku's character, I really wanted things to slowly get scarier as the game progressed 😂  two unhinged characters together is absolutely one of my favorites tropes too, it's more fun that way 😆 and OHH you replayed after Kanau 😭  I'm honored, thank you!!

I'm making very good progress on the sequel 🫡 I hope it ends up being fun! Thank you again for playing 🙏

Terima kasih banyak! Saya harap Anda membuat lebih banyak game seperti ini di Android. 😁😭

Saya minta maaf atas balasan yang terlambat, komentar ini tertangkap dalam filter!

this game was awesome! It was even better after having played Kanau. can't wait to see the future of these games!!

OH I'm so glad to hear that (especially since I concepted Kanau shortly after I finished this one, I was worried about the consistency)! Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed! ☺️ 

(+2)

it was fun playing the game i like these kind of games XD

Aww thank you so much for taking the time to play and record!! 

(+3)

Okay first of all I love it. all of the endings, but what intrigue me the most is the ending C, like what lesson babe that you would teach me come on tell me im all ears, like my imagination is wild i want all the details, must i say I SUPER LOVE THIS, cause like FULLY VOICED FOR FREE? please have a delicious meal everyday dear dev. I played the kamui first then this one, I hope to play more of your games in the future you're now one of my fav dev and I like the ending D very much.

(+1)

Thank you so much for the kind words 😭 💦 They mean a lot! Ending C might be my favorite too 😂 Ngl was tempted to write a continuation of that one LOL I'm so glad that you enjoyed them both 🙏 Thank you again for playing and taking the time to comment!! 

(+1)

please tell me what do you have in mind on ending C.... IM DYING TO KNOWWWWW WHAT KIND OF LESSON IS IT 

(+1)

LOL if I ever wrote 18+ extras for the game, I would put it there 😂 

I mean no one would complain if you wrote this extra :3

(+2)

OMG I didn’t expect the endings. Talk about a plot twist.  I enjoyed the game. I liked how you get a little bit more of the story as you keep getting endings, depending on the order in which you reach each end.  I love games that pay attention to detail, and this is one of them. (love the males jacket/hoodie design?) I was excited to find out this game has a origin story. I got it right away.

I like that it was illustrated entirely with live 2d- style animated cgs and comic book style. I love reading comic books, so I enjoyed that extra. I absolutely love the way the female character looked.  The way the male character was  portrayed was fabulous I'd love a male like that.  I mean how could you break up with someone like that even if he is a little yandere.  No spoilers so ill stop at that. 

 It can be helpful the game comes with a walkthrough if you need it. This game was the first I played where you can just click a button and get the walkthrough. More people should make one, especially for the harder games. The voice actors  did a great job. I have to say the female has a beautiful voice to me.  

My only complaint it was too short. A lot of work went into the making of this so I thank you for that.

OH thank you for all the kind words, they mean so much 😭 I'm so glad that you liked the comic book style! I love comics too, so I really want to incorporate more of that visual storytelling into my work! And I'm happy that you liked Nelli and Raku!

AHHH I'm so glad that you liked the in-game walkthrough! I understand the frustration of replaying a game over and over to get the ending that you missed, so I always want to include one for players so that they have the option (and, of course, I want people to experience the entire game!) And both VAs are so talented, I was so lucky to be able to work with them! Zoe's voice is SO beautiful!

🤣 I'll take it as a compliment! I wanted to wrap up their story in a more satisfying way, so I released the prequel, and I'm currently working on a sequel! It's quite a bit longer than this game, so I hope it's enjoyable! I hope you have fun with the prequel, too! Thank you again for playing and taking the time to comment 🥹

Ngl I need a Rakuo in my life

(+2)

Honestly same...I need him to do my laundry and take care of everything else that needs taking care of

(+4)

God, this game was so delightful! The sound effects and the voice acting and the bgm with the beautiful visuals all sucked me and transported me into the world you made! I love, love, love the visuals! They are so incredible unique and creative! I teared up a few times playing this game. Raku's voice actor did such an incredibly job of delivering his lines! I really felt the pain and the heartbreak in every single line! 


I don't play horror at all but I really enjoyed the creepy atmosphere of this game! I love both characters and gosh I just really loved this game!!!!

(+1)

AHHH you're too kind, thank you so much! 🥹 I'm so glad that you like the visuals 😭 and I agree, the VAs for this project couldn't have done a better job; I was so lucky to have the chance to work with them!

YOU DON'T PLAY HORROR, I'm so honored you gave this game a chance! Thank you so much for playing and for taking the time to leave a comment 😭

(1 edit) (+1)

Ohhhhhh my goodness. This game was delightfully creepy - I normally don't play horror games, but I had heard such wonderful things about this game that I wanted to give Karamu a shot, and my god, I am so glad I did!!

Nellie is such a unique protagonist in otome land (I can't think of anyone heading off to veterinary school!) and the composition and animation made the game feel like I was flipping through pages of a comic book.

I also want to add that the walkthrough was super helpful, and that you did a fantastic job of capturing that creepy five AM atmosphere! I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time, and also: the arachnophobia warning was honestly a bit of an understatement LMAO, but we persevered!! Thank you for sharing this with us. It was a treat, and I can't wait until I have more time to play the sequel!

OH GOSH, I'm so flattered that you played it even though horror games aren't typically your speed (I did hope that people who don't normally seek out horror would be able to have fun with this one!) And 😭 you heard wonderful things about it, gosh idk who's saying that but I'm very grateful to them! 😭😭😭 

I'm SO glad that you liked Nelli 🥹 I feel like enjoying LIs in an otome is almost a given 😂 so it's just so special when someone likes your protagonist! 

AHHH I'm glad that you appreciated the walkthrough, and that the game had that tense atmosphere! Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave a review, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy the sequel too 🤭

(1 edit) (+1)

You absolutely succeeded in making a horror game fun and creepy without it being overwhelming!! I cannot understate how much I generally avoid horror, and yet Karamu hit a lot of solid narrative notes. The atmosphere helped a lot, I believe; the game was really dynamic with unique animations that drew me into their world, and as someone that used to go on 5am runs, you nailed how quiet the world is at that hour. But mostly, I think it's the lack of jumpscares and assuming your audience needs shock to be horrified? Karamu reminds me of older horror films (like Psycho and other Hitchcock films), where your imagination does a lot of the work, and *that's* the kind of horror a wider audience can get behind, I think.

Nelli was FANTASTIC. While her VA did such a great job at invoking her emotions, I truly wasn't expecting to love her as much as I did. ♥ You've certainly made a fan out of me, lol! I look forward to playing your other games and leaving reviews on them too (and honestly, sharing your games with my friends who DO enjoy horror!! I know that if I'm having a grand time, they'll enjoy it even more)

(+2)

To be honest I couldn't be too objective while playing this game because Raku is basically just like my ex, and it felt honestly so weird to play a game like this with someone that reminds me that much of him. The break-up is fairly recent so it just makes it even weirder- PLUS, some things are word-for-word texts that he sent me, so it was a surreal experience, ngl, but besides that, I reeeally loved this game!! Some of the endings were particularly hard due to my situation, but I honestly really loved it!! Also, I want to directly thank you for adding a walkthrough inside the game, it made me so honestly happy to see it!!! <33

(+1)

DFGDFGDFGDFG OH GOSH I hope that this wasn't too triggering for you or anything, especially so soon after the break-up 😭 that's a wild coincidence...considering how clingy Raku is, I hope that you managed to have a clean break...(though I am a bit glad to hear that it was so true to your experience!) I'm so glad that you liked it 🥹 (even despite the surrealness of it all). Thank you for taking the time to play!

(+2)

IT WASN'T TRIGGERING, DW!!! To be honest, it was a weird coincidence, but it was really fun regardless!! About the break-up, it wasn't like awfully bad, he did blame me for his latest attempt but after I blocked him I've been at relative peace with the situation!! And I'm 100% going to play the prequel now, thank you so much for such an amazing and fun game <3

(+1)

I loved this! I got all endings, it pained my heart to b cruel to him. id love for their story/Relationship to continue hehehe

Aww thank you so much for the kind words!! :) (Hehe it will, don't worry! Working on the script now~)

By "dubious consent" do you mean described, 18+ sexual stuff, or is it vague/fade to black sexual stuff? Or something else lol.

Oh this game has zero sexual content! LOL it's referring to kissing/pressuring someone into a relationship (so consenting to these acts). I'll change it to make it more specific!

ooh, ok! Thanks for the info!

(+2)

AHHHH!! I LOVEE IT!! You don't understand, I originally didn't have an account signed up on this website, but I HAD to make one just to express my love for this!! Can't wait for the full game, I was wondering if there is any way to support this? And, if possible please let me know when's the next update going to be released. I'm OBSESSED! Keep up the good work and much love ❤️

OMG THANK YOU, you're so sweet 😭💕💦💦 I'm so honored and I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I'm actually around 80% done with the next installment (the prequel portion), just finishing up some art/receiving voice lines before I code it all in! I'm aiming for an early March release (since I've got another project lined up for March 😂)! After that I'll be working on the last installment for sometime during the summer!

You're so kind, support is not necessary at all 💦 but I do have a Patreon linked above! Donations are turned on also - I use both sources to help pay for VA lines and the like! 

Thank you again, you've really made my day! 🥹💦

Call me crazy, but this game got me giggling, screaming, kicking my feet in the air and tucking my hair behind my ears.. this game is just *chefs kiss* the best, I love it! Defo gonna play it again and again anywhoozies, keep up the good work 🫶🏼

AWW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SWEET WORDS, I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much 🥹💕 Doing good work on the prequel as we speak! 🫡 Thank you again for playing! ☺️

gonna dump all my thoughts.


10/10. Raku looked rather cute than scary. very moe >w>


the story managed to subvert the expectations of Raku as a character trope. the twists of the story is also unexpected, but a very welcome change of pace from this usual type of story. i didnt expect the cg to have animations. it makes everything look flowy and soft. i expected flowers to wind by the characters.


loved the designs of the characters. its cute, Nelli's red eyes and Raku's glowing eyes... i loved berry much <3


oooh and Nelli.. im very interested about the dynamics to be honest Ówò the unusual way the story build itself and characters chemistry. 10/10.


im very interested so now ill follow the creator of this game :3


i read that theres a part two?! úwù ill definitely play that too! thanks so much for creating this. i thoroughly enjoyed myself. have a good rest and stay vibrant author!

edit: FUCKKKKK how could i forget!! i also loved the bgm! when Raku smiled at Nelli that shit tugged on my heart frfr! im the one falling in love hahaha (slap---

OHHHHH AHHHH thank you so much for the kind words and the lengthy comment! I'm glad that you found Raku moe LOL I do find him very cute personally...Hehe, if you like Raku and Nelli's dynamic, it'll be even more interesting in the follow-up! (Working on the script now!) 

Thank you :) I'm actually in the middle of working on the prequel game now, and it's going very well! I hope you enjoy it if you play :D 

(+1)

chefs kiss hope for more I am hungry for more content this filled my brain 

Thank you, haha! Actually doing a casting call for the follow-up game as we speak...

(+1)

a quick update but when I was trying to download the game on my 100% real android and  definitely not a fire table from Amazon  uhh the game said it was failed to load… strange 

Oh strange, that's good to know! I'll have to test if I can get my hands on a Fire tablet.

(+2)

omg I love this game. Its cutie and creepy at the same time, I wasn't prepared for the plot twist. I've difficult to find alone ''Good ending''but the game ( also dev) helped people like me to encouter <33333 ( The english is not my first language, sorry for the errors). AND WE NEED THE PART2 of this amazing and wonderful history 

Thank you so much for the kind words 😭 I'm glad you enjoyed it!!! I'm currently working on a part 2, I hope that it's fun! ☺️

I really enjoyed this, very polished work for a game jam and made by a solo dev like wow!! Also it was very nice to see a black woman as the protagonist :D

Thank you so much for the kind comment! :) I'm glad that you had fun! I had a lot of fun writing and drawing Nelli; I hope to flesh her character out more in the future! 

(+1)

I honestly love this game its certainly has its twists which suprised me a lot but were also enjoyable !

Thank you for the kind words!! I'm glad that you enjoyed :)

(+1)

Well this game was a surprise for me. 

Voice acting great and oh boy was I not actually expecting animations at all =D They are very nice and did the trick. But boy oh boy, "don't play this game if you're afraid of spiders" made me a bit thinking if I should play it.

And I mean, yandere, spiders, not my piece of the cake right? NO. You've made the game so nice that I couldn't resist and played it to get all endings. 4th one is my favorite (No surprise there duh xD)  

Great job! You've made arachnophobe to actually like this spider xD (and kind of wanting one like that for myself >w<)

Looking forward to see more of your work! 

Thank you so much for the kind comment!! :) I'm glad that it was enjoyable even with the arachnophobia LOL (ngl spiders freak me out too...) The voice actors did such a fantastic job; I was so lucky to work with them! 

Thank you for playing! I'm hard at work on more games, so I hope that you enjoy them! 

I enjoyed this.  Thank you!  I'm going to check out your other game [demo] as well!

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed! ☺️

(+2)(-4)

I love the game!! I just wish there was an option to change the MC’s name. Although I love the diversity of the MC as well, a little freedom of skin tone/hair would be nice :)

Spoilers At first, I didn’t understand why Nelli avoided and disliked Raku so much if their time together was nice. Then I realised Nelli was a little misinformed… Wonder if there’s any more depth on Raku’s transformation?

(+3)(-1)

Thank you very much for playing!! I'm glad you enjoyed! Hmm, while I do know that a lot of players enjoy self-insert protags when playing VNs,  Nelli isn't one, hence why her name/appearance is not changeable (and customizable appearance would unfortunately be difficult to implement for a game with as many animated illustrations as this). I do have a couple games planned with self-insert protags without defined appearances, though! I hope you enjoy them :)





=== SPOILERS ===

Haha, I'll go into the transformation lore a little bit more in the prequel/sequel (which are both in scripting phases)! Nelli had no idea about Raku's true self because he kept it from her, and he basically hasn't transformed much in the past four years while he was at university. He doesn't need to transform, and he can eat normal food for calories (although he does have a liking for raw meat). He can control his transformation (only transforming partially, or transforming fully - and he can also control the size). He's part of a family of "creatures" like him, and it's genetic. The world is inhabited by different species of creatures like him, but they mostly stay on the down-low, hidden from human society.

I appreciate your animated illustrations as they’re gorgeous, FR

hopefully Nelli’s name can be changeable later? i understand the art! Still, cool game

Hopefully in later endings and scenes we have a Raku POV, and whether his species is rampant in this universe!

Perhaps in the writing, a small flashback scene of their dating life showing Nelli not seeing Raku’s true self and being frastrated would be nice. At first it felt like Nelli was being unreasonable.

thats why maybe a little “even tho i cried to him, i realised i know nothing about this guy and i hated it, i want authenticity” would be cool. and overtime in the ‘good’ endings Nelli gets the authenticity she needs for a good relationship in her POV.

ALSOO, a POV from raku? to explain his obsession, how he views Nelli (depending on the endings, like an animal, like his saviour, like his lover, etc….). also to show his origins!!!!

TYSM!!!

I loved the game. 10/10. The art style, voice acting, the twists and turns were amazing and beautiful and very cool. The twist in which Raku was a spider was a very great twist I liked it he was kinda cute as a spider. The ending in which Nelli was hiding in her apartment and was protecting her cat i think the spider who paid her a visit was Raku he was watching over her which is so cute and i love how he is a yandere. I love Nelli's voice she sounds pretty. I JUST LOVE THE GAME AND HOW ITS MADE! THANK YOU AND BYE BYE!

Thank you so much for the sweet comment!! :) I'm glad that you enjoyed the twists, I know that it's not everyone's cup of tea LOL Zoe did such a fantastic job as Nelli; her voice is so beautiful! Thank you again for playing!!

is it bad if i still love raku even after all this stuff happened (even the big reveal thingy)?? T^T because istg the only thing i want to do after he shows the "real him" is to hug raku tightly because man that must be rough showing your real monster identity to someone you love the most like that. also, i'm really glad this isn't like other yandere otome where the yandere love interest clearly did bad things that affected the MC even though they did think it's the best. but no, raku loves her so much and is willing to protect her from the bad i think that's why he didn't tell her about his spiderman situation in the first place and he only did so when it's the best thing to do. although yeah poor girl's mental state must be restored after this and it'd take a while.

i literally thought raku was the one who killed sana at first because of the usual yandere jealousy stuff lmao but i'm really REALLY glad that's not the case. in fact, raku's deep analysis about why nelli would hurt him is such a pleasant scene to watch, because even a normal person would sometimes struggle to think logically and try to find the reason when they've been hurt by the people they love. and the fact that nelli is doing that is mindblowing too XD. all in all, this game has been such a great ride and i think i'm going to replay it a few times to see my baby raku again.

great work with the game! ^^

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely comment!! I'm really happy you enjoyed it (and I'm honored you're planning to replay it!!)

Aww yes, I think that revealing something like that to someone else requires a lot of trust! In this case Raku does trust Nelli - but he also knows the situation calls for it, and he also trusts that Nelli won't reject him given her situation. Nelli does need a BREAK after this though; she needs some serious time to process LOL

(Ohh you're actually spot on with the prediction! There are actually a few reasons why Raku didn't tell her about his identity before, but the dangers are definitely one of them. He absolutely does not want his family and Nelli to meet - hence why that might happen in the sequel LOL)

Haha, I did hope that people would think that maybe Raku killed Sana! I'm glad you liked that scene!! Raku does try hard to understand Nelli's position (partially because he needs to believe that she still loves him, even if she hurt him). 

Thank you again for playing and leaving your thoughts!! :)

HELLO?? SPIDER MAN?? my first thought when raku transformed was "goddamn put those suckers away" LOL it was definetly a twist i never saw it was creepy to see him just...swinging there too but the ending i got was odly cute also i love the voice acting and the small animations its so satifying to see the characters move it makes it feel more real!

Haha I'm glad that the ending surprised you!! (Oddly cute is definitely the vibe that I was going for? So I'm glad that it came across!) And thank you so much for your compliments about the VA and the animations :) The VAs did SUCH a good job; I was so honored to work with them! Thank you for playing!!
