Sinto muito, não tenho certeza do que há de errado... Nunca me deparei com esse problema antes! Talvez tente a versão para PC? (Desculpe por qualquer erro, usei o Google Tradutor!)
this is by far one of the best horror-romance vns I've played. 10/10, in love with the voice acting and characters. would play again for the first time if I had the chance!
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!
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!
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! ☺️
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
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
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
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!
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<)
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 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?
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!!!!
i apologize but I felt some typa way when he transformed. goodbye💀 but you don't understand how lovely it is to have a black female protagonist, goshh. I can't wait for the sequel.
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!!
Loved all the twists and turns. It was so much fun playing each route and finding out more and more about the story. Its 3:41am but I just couldn't stop, I had to know :D
PS, ohmygod my little nerdy gamer boy, I love you so much xD
i was completely transfixed the ENTIRE time i was playing this and i love how each ending shows a different part of the story !!
combining horror and romance is a match made in heaven, this was so beautifully made and i adored every second. will 100% be looking forward to all of your future work <3
Aww thank you so much for the sweet comment, you're too kind!! ☺️💕 I do love a good old horror/romance (even though I am a bit squeamish 😂); I'm really happy you had fun 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.
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!!)
(Spoilers below)

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!!
Sorry for that lol, but the sudden change of atmosphere when he tried to blackmail investigate her, literally gave me chill👌 Where can I find men who support girl's hobbies this much like him, damnnnnn poor girl but I like this dynamic😔
Not Raku being the CURSED spiderman...(the spiderman dating sim that nobody asked for!)
And indeed, we all just want a man who will do our laundry, take care of our cat, play video games with us, and support us in our various extracurriculars ;)
this was by far one of the best visual novelI had ever played the characters and the animation was stunning, even the voice actors were amazing. I truly am amazed with this visual novel
Thank you so much for playing and for the incredibly kind comment!! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it :) The voice actors were so great! I was so lucky to work with them!
HELLO???? I gotta say I just came across this delectable vn (seeing the yandere tag ofc) and I finished it up in one go BECAUSE THIS WAS SO GOOD?? WTH??? I'M JUST SO AMAZED-- the voice acting, the art, the UI, the sound design??? Everything was just perfect and it felt so good that to hear out the duo's dynamic and dang. Raku's too wholesome, man /hj love them both so much
Thank you for this amazing game and I'm excited to see where you go with your other games!! Take care!
AWW thank you for such a sweet comment!! Indeed I only make the most wholesome games, Raku is just the most supportive (ex) bf a girl could ask for! Haha I'm deep in the trenches on my next game already, I'm excited to start talking about it! Thank you again for playing :)
All in all, I love both the suspense and romance, the fact that they both aren't necessarily evil or nice wholly is what gives them life/more in depth, even Raku is loveable <3
-spoilers-
I felt bad (literally cried a bucket) when I had to be mean to him especially the last resort act that Nelli did. The first thing I noticed that gave clues were the spider sticker on his jacket and that 'Kumo' part of Raku's name, turns out his entire name is related to spider.. I was like, no way, he is a spider?? That kiss was so sweet I couldn't turn him down even though it might have left a bad taste in mouth but it was okay because he helped! >w< i would be hyped for another story of this couple after their 'happily ever after'..! Great job!
I'm honored that your arachnophobia is now cured, may spiders bless your house and eat all of your insect pests (joking, but they are useful little creatures!) And aww, I'm so glad that you liked these two! I'm glad you were still surprised even if you picked up on some of the clues ;)
Thank you so much for playing!! Haha, I got a little attached to these two, so I'm working on a couple of follow-ups! They'll be even crazier than this one (and maybe they'll bring back your arachnophobia...) I hope you check them out when they release! ;)
i love the tutorial at the beginning! it's the first time i've seen that and i think it was a nice and helpful addition. the art is stellar!! and the writing!!!!! the story was super captivating and i loved exploring all 4 endings (especially the last one 👀). all in all i think this is an amazing vn and im super happy i decided to play it!!
Thank you so much for the compliments ☺️ I'm glad the tutorial was helpful, I wasn't sure about it since a lot of people seem to skip it, so I'm glad you pointed it out and found it helpful! I'm really happy you enjoyed it (especially that last ending 🤭)!!
Man I think this might be one of the last VNs I play..((another VN (that I was so excited for the update) wasn't supporting 32 and they said Ren'py isn't supporting 32 anymore-so sad for me)) I'm not saying I regret playing you game cuz I love your game (especially with the plot twists in the endings)
The art is AMAZING and the voice acting is INCREDIBLE and the ui is completely different from what I usually see (like the template yk). Like all the stuff was ORIGINAL. I'm just not use to not being able to scroll back to previous texts and when right clicking it doesn't go to save (but idk if this is a problem but then again you weren't testing on 32-I don't think it would matter anyways)
I probably can't play more of your games (ahem the sequel) in the future but this is a very good game!!!(and to all those who are just reading the comments go play it already)
Oh thank you so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed!! Thank you so much for the compliments :) As far as missing certain features/certain features being different Ren'py, it's because I actually built a custom framework in Unity? So the "S" shortcut opens up the save screen, while the right click function activates "screenshot" mode (but I did add in keybinds so that players can adjust these to their preference!) (I would like to include a rollback function, but with the animations it can be a little difficult...it's a work in progress!)
I had no idea that was the case for Ren'py! That's too bad ): I do really enjoy playing VNs myself, so it's a shame that they're getting a little less accessible. For me, I use Unity, so I plan on continuing to support 32-bit versions in the future, so you can continue playing my games if you want, haha!
I rarely makes comments but this one makes it worth it. Game went beyond my expectations annnd that plot twist !! 10/10.
The VA's did an excellent job as well and honestly had me simping over karamu even more lol. Overall, this game was chef's kiss. I'll def be on the lookout for future games done by you and ngl I would not mind if there was a sequel to this...after a good break ofc <3
Ahh I'm so honored!! Thank you so much! The VA was a "midway-through-production" decision and I am SO glad that I went through with it, their performances added so much!
I've got quite a few things cooking in the oven, including a Karamu sequel script ;) (Can't keep me away from game dev even when I said I would take a break!) Look forward to it!
Wow, this game was so well made that I couldn't believe it was for a jam. The animation, interface, sprites and even the voice acting were so polished. I especially enjoyed the way Rakuo was baring his soul to our protagonist and sharing all his intimate feelings. The angst was real.
Something else I liked is how you gently reveal more about the story and the characters as you go on and there are little hints scattered in the game to what happened. Also how neither character was as innocent as they seemed.
I am not sure what this says about me but I really found Rakuo adorable, especially how blushy he was during the kiss scene. It's so nice having a supportive boyfriend who would even help you get away with murder.
Aww thank you so much for the compliments! I'm glad you mentioned the more intimate moments; I was worried that those parts would be a little too boring for people mainly looking for horror! Most people just mention the plot twists, but those were actually some of my favorite parts to write!
Ahh I'm so glad!! I love writing intricate, slowly unfolding mysteries! This one was on the simpler side, but I'm glad that people picked up on the hints!
We stan a supportive partner (who accepts all of your flaws :) )!
THIS WAS SOOOOOOO GOOD AHHH. I wanted Nelli to kiss him the wholeee time, so I was glad I got the option at the end, also, loved the black protagonist, don't see it very often <3 <3. And excellent work on his spider design, I never would have guessed honestly, his face was the most terrifying part of it, seeing his four eyes move around was crazy. Amazing game, and excellent storytelling! 100/10 will def recommend!
Thank you for the compliments!! :) I'm really happy you had fun with it! (Haha, I'm glad that you enjoyed the kiss scene, even if there were some...ahem...complicating factors...)
I loved playing through this game! It's just the right amount of dark horror-romance and I'm not sure if it's morally appropriate to say I even loved their dynamic lol (in a writing perspective, of course)
But yes, I loved how both Nelli and Raku's characters were fleshed out in this short story. Thank you, Chattercap!
Haha, I would say that's exactly what I was going for...I want my players to love Nelli and Raku as characters...of course... ;)
Aww, thank you so much! Haha I was really trying to challenge myself with a "horror-romance" this time, so I'm glad that it turned out well (the balance of the genres was, admittedly, TOUGH)! Thank you for playing :)

Thank you so much for the kind words!! 🥹💕 I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
(100% agreed with you there 🤭)
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!
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!!

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.
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).

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! ☺️

Aww, thank you!!! 🥰
For sure you're right on! 10! (SLIGHT (SPOILER))
I fr didn't expect that plot twist! Top tier writing.
Thank you!!! Glad that you enjoyed :D
OMG, what a nice game!!"I love it! And I also can't wait for the prequel and sequel! I really like Raku.I wanna know what happens next!"
Thank you so much!! I'm looking forward to working on them too; I hope you enjoy the follow-ups!
i apologize but I felt some typa way when he transformed. goodbye💀 but you don't understand how lovely it is to have a black female protagonist, goshh. I can't wait for the sequel.

can I upload your game on YouTube
Of course, I'm honored!! (Although please include the content warnings in the description/a link to the content warnings if you can!)
Loved all the twists and turns. It was so much fun playing each route and finding out more and more about the story. Its 3:41am but I just couldn't stop, I had to know :D
PS, ohmygod my little nerdy gamer boy, I love you so much xD

Aww thank you so much for the sweet comment, you're too kind!! ☺️💕 I do love a good old horror/romance (even though I am a bit squeamish 😂); I'm really happy you had fun playing!
warning: full of spoiler!!

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 placeand 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!!

Not Raku being the CURSED spiderman...(the spiderman dating sim that nobody asked for!)
And indeed, we all just want a man who will do our laundry, take care of our cat, play video games with us, and support us in our various extracurriculars ;)
this was by far one of the best visual novelI had ever played the characters and the animation was stunning, even the voice actors were amazing. I truly am amazed with this visual novel
Thank you so much for playing and for the incredibly kind comment!! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it :) The voice actors were so great! I was so lucky to work with them!
HELLO???? I gotta say I just came across this delectable vn (seeing the yandere tag ofc) and I finished it up in one go BECAUSE THIS WAS SO GOOD?? WTH??? I'M JUST SO AMAZED-- the voice acting, the art, the UI, the sound design??? Everything was just perfect and it felt so good that to hear out the duo's dynamic and dang. Raku's too wholesome, man /hj love them both so much
Thank you for this amazing game and I'm excited to see where you go with your other games!! Take care!
AWW thank you for such a sweet comment!! Indeed I only make the most wholesome games, Raku is just the most supportive (ex) bf a girl could ask for! Haha I'm deep in the trenches on my next game already, I'm excited to start talking about it! Thank you again for playing :)
This cured my arachnophobia/hj
All in all, I love both the suspense and romance, the fact that they both aren't necessarily evil or nice wholly is what gives them life/more in depth, even Raku is loveable <3
-spoilers-
I felt bad (literally cried a bucket) when I had to be mean to him especially the last resort act that Nelli did. The first thing I noticed that gave clues were the spider sticker on his jacket and that 'Kumo' part of Raku's name, turns out his entire name is related to spider.. I was like, no way, he is a spider?? That kiss was so sweet I couldn't turn him down even though it might have left a bad taste in mouth but it was okay because he helped! >w< i would be hyped for another story of this couple after their 'happily ever after'..! Great job!
I'm honored that your arachnophobia is now cured, may spiders bless your house and eat all of your insect pests (joking, but they are useful little creatures!) And aww, I'm so glad that you liked these two! I'm glad you were still surprised even if you picked up on some of the clues ;)
Thank you so much for playing!! Haha, I got a little attached to these two, so I'm working on a couple of follow-ups! They'll be even crazier than this one (and maybe they'll bring back your arachnophobia...) I hope you check them out when they release! ;)
i love the tutorial at the beginning! it's the first time i've seen that and i think it was a nice and helpful addition. the art is stellar!! and the writing!!!!! the story was super captivating and i loved exploring all 4 endings (especially the last one 👀). all in all i think this is an amazing vn and im super happy i decided to play it!!
Thank you so much for the compliments ☺️ I'm glad the tutorial was helpful, I wasn't sure about it since a lot of people seem to skip it, so I'm glad you pointed it out and found it helpful! I'm really happy you enjoyed it (especially that last ending 🤭)!!
Man I think this might be one of the last VNs I play..((another VN (that I was so excited for the update) wasn't supporting 32 and they said Ren'py isn't supporting 32 anymore-so sad for me)) I'm not saying I regret playing you game cuz I love your game (especially with the plot twists in the endings)
The art is AMAZING and the voice acting is INCREDIBLE and the ui is completely different from what I usually see (like the template yk). Like all the stuff was ORIGINAL. I'm just not use to not being able to scroll back to previous texts and when right clicking it doesn't go to save (but idk if this is a problem but then again you weren't testing on 32-I don't think it would matter anyways)
I probably can't play more of your games (ahem the sequel) in the future but this is a very good game!!!(and to all those who are just reading the comments go play it already)
Oh thank you so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed!! Thank you so much for the compliments :) As far as missing certain features/certain features being different Ren'py, it's because I actually built a custom framework in Unity? So the "S" shortcut opens up the save screen, while the right click function activates "screenshot" mode (but I did add in keybinds so that players can adjust these to their preference!) (I would like to include a rollback function, but with the animations it can be a little difficult...it's a work in progress!)
I had no idea that was the case for Ren'py! That's too bad ): I do really enjoy playing VNs myself, so it's a shame that they're getting a little less accessible. For me, I use Unity, so I plan on continuing to support 32-bit versions in the future, so you can continue playing my games if you want, haha!
Thank you again for your kind comment!!
Alright Cappy, I’m going to be real with you. *Cracks fingers*. This was…
…DAMN GOOD. :)
Well done! <3 :D
Ohh thank you for playing, Tyme!! I'm glad you had fun <3 (sdfsdfsfgdg I liked the building of suspense LOL)
My pleasure! :) And yeah well, building of suspense is kind of my brand so gotta keep consistent I guess LMAO
this was so fun, I loved every second of it. <3
Aww thank you so much!! :) I'm glad you had fun!!
I love how there's an in-game guide. It's really helpful, thanks!
I'm glad it was helpful! :)
I really love it‼️<3
Aww, thank you so much!! Thank you for playing :)
Thank you for playing! :)
I rarely makes comments but this one makes it worth it. Game went beyond my expectations annnd that plot twist !! 10/10.
The VA's did an excellent job as well and honestly had me simping over karamu even more lol. Overall, this game was chef's kiss. I'll def be on the lookout for future games done by you and ngl I would not mind if there was a sequel to this...after a good break ofc <3
Ahh I'm so honored!! Thank you so much! The VA was a "midway-through-production" decision and I am SO glad that I went through with it, their performances added so much!
I've got quite a few things cooking in the oven, including a Karamu sequel script ;) (Can't keep me away from game dev even when I said I would take a break!) Look forward to it!
Wow, this game was so well made that I couldn't believe it was for a jam. The animation, interface, sprites and even the voice acting were so polished. I especially enjoyed the way Rakuo was baring his soul to our protagonist and sharing all his intimate feelings. The angst was real.
Something else I liked is how you gently reveal more about the story and the characters as you go on and there are little hints scattered in the game to what happened. Also how neither character was as innocent as they seemed.
I am not sure what this says about me but I really found Rakuo adorable, especially how blushy he was during the kiss scene. It's so nice having a supportive boyfriend who would even help you get away with murder.
Aww thank you so much for the compliments! I'm glad you mentioned the more intimate moments; I was worried that those parts would be a little too boring for people mainly looking for horror! Most people just mention the plot twists, but those were actually some of my favorite parts to write!
Ahh I'm so glad!! I love writing intricate, slowly unfolding mysteries! This one was on the simpler side, but I'm glad that people picked up on the hints!
We stan a supportive partner (who accepts all of your flaws :) )!
Thank you again for playing :D
THIS WAS SOOOOOOO GOOD AHHH. I wanted Nelli to kiss him the wholeee time, so I was glad I got the option at the end, also, loved the black protagonist, don't see it very often <3 <3. And excellent work on his spider design, I never would have guessed honestly, his face was the most terrifying part of it, seeing his four eyes move around was crazy. Amazing game, and excellent storytelling! 100/10 will def recommend!
Thank you for the compliments!! :) I'm really happy you had fun with it! (Haha, I'm glad that you enjoyed the kiss scene, even if there were some...ahem...complicating factors...)
OFC OFCC! And yes there wass >-<
Will we be seeing a continuation of this story at all? (If not, then ofc thats fine! Just want to know if I should be checking up at all!)
(Ahh yes!! Still in planning stages, but I am drafting some scripts for a prequel and a sequel! I got a little too attached to these characters!)
AHH YAY! Sorry I keep commenting, I really like this game :)
I loved playing through this game! It's just the right amount of dark horror-romance and I'm not sure if it's morally appropriate to say I even loved their dynamic lol (in a writing perspective, of course)
But yes, I loved how both Nelli and Raku's characters were fleshed out in this short story. Thank you, Chattercap!
Haha, I would say that's exactly what I was going for...I want my players to love Nelli and Raku as characters...of course... ;)
Aww, thank you so much! Haha I was really trying to challenge myself with a "horror-romance" this time, so I'm glad that it turned out well (the balance of the genres was, admittedly, TOUGH)! Thank you for playing :)
