This is the best writing I’ve seen in a long time. A story that truly touches the player’s heart and lingers even after finishing the demo. I can’t wait to see more from you, and I’m really looking forward to what happens next. Love you, Chattercap! <3
I've never cried so much to one game, it felt like every second I cry, after some time I stop then go to the next dialogue and cry again. The game feels like a real relationship someone might go through. This feels familiar to me or it felt like a relationship of mine in the past and weirdly, the future. It made me reflect on my wrongs and qualities as a partner, it honestly hit hard because people are imperfect and the reality of marriage is especially when two people are going through their own problems and they coincide. Never have I been motivated to play and see all endings myself, this game got by brain juices running and me theorizing and going all over the place. I'm so interested in this game and I'm looking forward to what you'll have in store for us. I'm sure that I am going to be eating this full game up!! The game ended in this cliffhanger and I'm trying not to piss myself.
It's one of the most heart wrenching storied I've read so far! I cried so much just by playing it. The writing is so beautiful that makes me want to keep writing more-this game is truly beautiful ;(
This game hurts me on a personal level. I love this game so much, and I love the art and the writing so much, it's beautiful. ALSO thank you for adding the option to be asexual!! It means so much to me :D
oh my days, Chattercap- HOLY SHIT IT'S SO GOOD? ngl i had a mental breakdown and ugly cried while reading bcs mc (us technically) is so real for that. BUT I FELT SO BAD FOR MORGAN (?) TOO BCS FVEIJKLSJVGREKFVBHUIR BC I FELT THAT DEEP IN MY SOUL AS A WRITER HUHU
wonderful, amazing, ugly cried, and if i could kiss you for how amazing this is, I absolutely fucking would.
take care of yourself, the others in the team as well, and treat yourselves kindly as you enjoy yourselves and work - take good care of yourselves and we'll be here waiting for however long until its finished. love everything as always, :33
i sat down to play this and i finished it in one sitting UAUGHHGHHGHG ripping my HAIR OUT i love this VN so far and can't want to play the finished version when it comes out
i adore your writing and this was such a nice play, great art and story as always!!
the game ends after we catch him with a knife by our neck..im just wondering when is the new update coming? and if so would i have to download the game again or would it be automatically added to the game (im sorry for the dumb question im just really stupid T-T)
Thank you so much for playing!! (I was wondering if you would mind editing your comment to remove the spoilers? Some people read the comments without playing the game!)
As for the new update, I don't like to promise specific dates because I'm primarily a solo developer, and I don't want to rush out updates before they're ready (I didn't announce this release until it was completely done, haha!) But I'm aiming to release Day 5 sometime in the fall, and the third/last update (containing Days 6, 7, and 1) sometime early next year! Regarding the download, you will have to download the game again to download the new content, but your saves from the previous playthrough should still work, assuming I don't make significant revisions to the script.
(And no worries at all!! These are reasonable questions, I'm really honored that you're interested in playing the rest! 😊)
I hardly know how to put it into words，This game is really well done，Unconsciously, I was completely immersed in the story，as though I were submerged in water
First of all, I wanted to mention, your art just keeps getting better and better; I really love the way you color hair and especially eyes, they look really expressive!!
As for the story itself, man, where do I even begin? The concept is already super interesting. I really like that Harper and Morgan are already married to begin with and that the main conflict stems from the fact that their relationship is not what it used to be and the gnawing suspicion that Morgan may not be the Morgan that Harper knows.
I love the way your writing always suggests things by showing the characters' actions or thoughts instead of them outright telling them. For instance, the way it's heavily implied that Harper is going through depression and grief with their dark thoughts, the pills and their mood swings.
Morgan feels like a big caretaker who has, understandably, started struggling himself after supporting someone with a serious mental illness. I honestly couldn't help but feel really sad for both of them. They love each other a lot but cracks have started to appear in their marriage: Morgan is a people pleaser who's reached a breaking point mentally and Harper is burnout and depressed.
The way you build suspense is also so good. I still can't tell yet if this "stranger" that the title of the game and the game itself keeps teasing is actually a supernatural entity or if he's still Morgan after his psyche has just made a turn for the worst.
I'm really, really curious to see how this will go; especially seeing how there will be 7 endings in the full release!!
As always, amazing story, Chatt, I'm looking forward to the full-release and more of your games!!
I do love the game even though I may not fully grasp some concepts like going through a rough patch with your husband. It is completely alien to me. Probably because I have never been married so I have no idea what married people do. But I do connect with some parts, like when MC thought about not being good enough for Morgan and quickly got married because MC was afraid he will find someone better. Now that is as human as it gets. Also the mystery is quite intriguing, eager to find out what happened to my husband.
First of all this game touched my soul and IT'S JUST SO WELL WRITTEN AND OVERALL A MASTER PIECE. I can't wait for the full game because just this itself already is a work of pure art and hardworking from the writing to the illustrations cant explain the shock I got from this and cried literal tears from how manifecent this game was
Okay, so. First off, this game is very personal with me because I can relate with most things. It's not that bad IRL but the conflict in marriage, man. Also the in-laws and generational trauma. I also love the presentation of the visual novel, like you gave me ideas, man. I hope I am allowed to steal some of the transition ideas hahaha!
Thank you for making an otome about a couple that has developed already, I think I am one of the demographic who wants more VNs like this. Love your games, chap! Can't wait for it to finish.
HUWAAAAAA THIS IS AWESOME!! I'm so happy to play another masterpiece by you :D
My feelings went up and down like a rollercoaster while playing this. Really look forward for the full version. Thank you for this amazing work and please take care of yourself <3
voy a decirlo en español porque creo que el traductor no le haria justicia sobre lo mucho que quiero decir. Primero que todo me he creado una cuenta únicamente para comentar lo enganchada que me ha dejado hasta donde lo he avanzado, la verdad voy a aceptar que al principio fue un poco difícil seguirle el hilo debido a que el ingles no es primer idioma y no lo domino en su totalidad, pero conforme he avanzando lo que hay actualmente de historia he quedado aferrada a mi silla y prestándole atención a cada detalle, solo dire que no puedo esperar para saber que pasara con la trama
when i tell you i NEED the full version..... omg i've been thinking about this ALL DAY i love it sooo much I'm so exited to have 8 ENDINGSSS.... i really hope morgan apologizes in one of the endings because if Ima be honest i was defending him like i just want my husband broo PLEASEE
idk i have to play the game but for what i understand is pretty and there is the sea for something??? well the character is cute??? or he have "spyco" part? whoo know, im going to play it then, see ya
oh my gosh. this is the first one of your games im playing and i LOVED IT SO MUCH like actually started tearing up at quite a few parts.... once I finished my first playthrough just had to sit and reflect on it and i say that SO positively!! im so excited for the rest i love your brain
I absolutely love playing this game! I’m really curious to see what will happen between Morgan and our MC, and how our choices will shape their relationship. I’m especially delighted that we can fully customize our MC—even down to skin tone. It makes the experience so much more immersive, especially for people of color who are often underrepresented in the visual novel community.
This was a game that hit far too close to home, and maybe I enjoyed it a lot too, because I particularly have a huge interest with the sea and ocean, but its the plot and psychology of the story that made me pause and realize that there are somethings that the mc is doing that I ended up doing as well in the past; the flashbacks in between the plot are memories that serve as an anchor who haunts the narrative of what their relationship used to be and how much the mc was slowly losing their passion in writing and ended up being replaced with guilt and fear, continuing to write not because of fun and interest like years ago where she had a deep passion for it and because morgan praised her for it that she felt more encouraged than ever, but because "It's her job". The husband's role there is to remind mc why they started writing in the first place; yet mc felt threatened because deep down mc knew their passion wasn't the feeling that was making their hands write, but the negativity, guilt, and fear that mc had been secretly carrying. MC had lost their pure love for writing along the way because of that conversation Morgan had with his "friends," and another reason is the pressure that had built up from MC's first released book. Writing wasn't fun anymore; it was a means for money and to keep Morgan with Mc, even if he would stay either way because he married Mc for love.
I'd also like to point out how mature morgan was in the lighthouse, I don't think he's a bad person/husband because of the things he had said, it's more on the fact that he had watched and stayed for the longest time to see the mc succumb to grief, he's not asking them to delete the memories of their family, but let go of the heavy feeling mc insistingly clinged on, because deep down those memories weren't keeping her families memories anymore, but it became an anchor that kept pulling them down; and he just wanted mc to realize it. (Both sides' feelings are valid and have a reason for why they feel it! I also understand this Morgan isn't really our husband, but still)
This is a really great game! And I'd like to call it a hidden gem, it takes a lot to realize what the story is actually about, and I love how open it is to the point that you can understand it anyway you like, and any opinions on the husband would be valid according to the choices, and it would still make sense. I also like how Morgan stayed true to himself on one of the flashbacks (where he still continued creating not for money but his own talent and love for art. which used to be how mc was, but got lost in the way, and struggled to find her way back.) (okay ill shut up ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ) I love this game. Thank you for creating a masterpiece!! and I hope to see more of this game
This is so sad, I cried. Some ones stress and emotional space destroying a relationship they cherished. But from what it looks like, our husband was not replaced, just possessed(Hopefully). So maybe there will be an ending where we work through our issues and end back up with our husband. But then there are the weird flashes of seeing blood, and the scar being gone. And now that I think about it what if we actually killed their husband in that fight and this whole thing is a coping mechanism and we can't fix the relationship. Or maybe we killed him and then he got possessed. This is great, can't wait for more.

Can I have permission to upload this on taptap?
Sorry, I don't approve of my games being uploaded to platforms that I can't manage/monitor, so I do not give my permission!
i named my novel "Gumby And Pokey Go Through The Multiverse And Meet Cthulu"
Thank you for the ace rep!! means a lot to me. <3

This is so sad, I cried. Some ones stress and emotional space destroying a relationship they cherished. But from what it looks like, our husband was not replaced, just possessed(Hopefully). So maybe there will be an ending where we work through our issues and end back up with our husband. But then there are the weird flashes of seeing blood, and the scar being gone.

🤍GREAT GAME🖤
