This is amazing! I love the writing, description, and the choices! I also love the characters and their unique personalities! I don't know if this is being continued, but I sure am glad I found this!
Honestly i was not expecting that kiss, but i also was expecting it-
I. Love. The. Game. So. Much.
But really the writting is awesome, the plot is actually really good and i can't wait to know what happens next
First i wanted to go on Vasilisa's rout but I'm not sure if it's out yet sooo i went with Sysba's route and i may be falling in love with her/him/them
I might actually want to play Suha's route too cause she seemed so caring but i was a bit suspicious for some reason 😅, still won't stop me from loving her personality tho
Can't wait for more (alright i can but yk-) love it
Hello! This has been discussed a lot (I think in a few update posts and comments!) but it'll have the biggest role come chapter 6 :) for now the decision grants flavour text!
Thanks! Btw I LOVE this game. Its such a roller coaster of emotions and I've had to remember that I'm not actually in the game many times! Keep up the good work! <3
this is so good. I saw your Patreon post and understand you have a lot going on and that you’ve had some comments that have been making it hard to continue. Please take care of yourself. BUT ALSO. PLEASE CONTINUE. the characters, that atmosphere, the STORY. It’s all soooo good. You have something amazing here please don’t let a few impatient people ruin this for you. 🥲💕 I think it makes sense to establish a story before having a bunch of choices btw. 😌
i find the sysba/'ynmar comment in chapter 3 by Pariah to be odd, only because your sex doesnt = your pronouns. otherwise, i am super enjoying the game so far
I actually think this case is special, because if they're a shapeshifter, sysba absolutely can just *snap* and bam, their sex aligns with their pronouns.
I'm in love with this demo, especially Sysba and Dreamwalker! I have a question though, does the dream you get is in random or there's something that triggers it? What I go so far is the one at the ocean, the carnival and the hotel, are there more??
Hi! Thank you for your kind words! The dream is triggered depending on the word you click :) so 'What' will lead to one dream, 'Dream', will lead to another dream, and so on! There's a cabin in the woods, the ocean, the carnival, and the hotel!
There's 9 songs that play with all of them seemingly being slowed and pitched down. I can't tell if some of them are covers and/or remixes so I apologize for that.
1. Shot It - KVPV
2. Love Lockdown - Kanye West
3. BALENCIAGA - kad1r
4. Treat Me Like A Slut - Kim Petras
5. Couldn't figure it out, sorry (Starts at 15: 38)
The missing song is Do It by TRFN! Love Lockdown was a cover by One True God, and Toxic was covered by Besomorph! Thanks GalacticSinner for covering the bulk—it looks like I missed the initial comment :( apologies!
So, I'm on Operator's route and I'm in The Labyrinth. I'm stuck on the riddle: "What's black, white and red all over?" It's a newspaper. I've put them in the input field multiple times. I've tried a newspaper, A Newspaper, newspaper, Newspaper, etc.. and still it keeps going back to the buzzing and stating that it's not correct. That's the answer to the riddle.... HALP!
Finished the demo on Sysba's route- AMAZING! The plot summary alone made me want to play, but once I saw we could romance an eldritch god I was SOLD. Brilliant worldbuilding, loved your sense of humor, appreciated the Mean Girls reference 😉 My only complaint right now is the (occasional) long transitions.
Will other characters get art like Gasper? It was cool and I liked the way you implemented it where the snake is, but I was a little confused since he's just a side character (so far?).
Hi! Technically, it's already kind of started once you finish the dream sequences! However, you'll see more of him (in a sense) come chapter 6. Thank you!!!
Great game but I have one complaint. I'm not able to save manually, every time I try to I get an error message. Has anyone else had this problem? Of so is anyone able to help me?
Hello! Thank you for the compliment! I'm sorry you're having difficulties with your saves. Depending on the browser you're using, you may need to clear cache and see if that works, or test the game on another browser!
Hi! The original commentor might be referring to the itch.io application. You can download and run the game that way, but saves are broken for me, too, if I do. I imagine there IS a fix, since I've played quite a bit of IF through the itch app without issue, but I'm not sure what it is. Sorry for not having a better idea about what to do, but I hope letting you know might help a little bit? Either way, love the story!!
Hi! Love the game so far (currently crushing on gasper a bit)
Might I suggest the ability to turn the glitchy text off (like when deadlock talks to you in your head)? From an accessibility standpoint (for me personally, can't say for anyone else) it's kinda hard on the eyes and gives a slight headache.
Other than that, this story is very captivating and I'm looking forward to seeing more!
I just finished a play-through and my god I am so invested! Midway through the play-through I was invested enough to sketch my MC. I love all the details, the little memory work required, the fairytale, the foreshadowing. I also like how the development of the story and relationships don’t feel rushed at all.
Thank you for creating this world and letting us meet these characters! Best of luck for the rest of development ^^
I only noticed a few typographical errors. Also, I’m not sure if it’s a bug but right after unlocking Suha in relationships, she disappears from the list again until the end of the game.
The amount of content and development is great. I started playing this a couple of weeks back and have slipped back in on my time off.
My two main complaints are similar.
I don't like how often the default (only) response is awkward, self-deprecating humor MC. I'd much rather play my MC as self-assured, but he is often forced into the "loveable goofball" scenes.
I also wish my job choice of Doctor seemed to have any actual purpose. I spent time reviewing the options in my head before selecting one for my MC, and it doesn't seem like my choice has mattered.
The story, world, and NPCs are all amazing. I just wish my MC felt like more MY MC.
Regarding the complaints, I'm not too sure if you've been on the dev blog or not, but I do emphasize that the career choice is most valuable come chapter 6. There is flavor text existing throughout the game right now for your career, but because of the way the story is it just hasn't had a chance to shine right now. It's a very slow moving story 😅
Your other point about the MC has been mentioned by others and is something I'm trying to take into consideration for future updates.
Oh awesome! I'm going through now and doing what I think my MC would do, but later on I'd like to go through and see all other options as well and what decisions lead to where. Lol

what is Alignment responsible for? I don't quite understand(

Does chosen career have any major effects on dialogue/plot progression?
Hello! This has been discussed a lot (I think in a few update posts and comments!) but it'll have the biggest role come chapter 6 :) for now the decision grants flavour text!
Is there actually music and art in this like the comments say because im not getting any of that
Hi! I removed the music for now (the dropbox link broke on it) and there is art of Gasper if you play on desktop :)
Would you be able to post the image of gasper on your tumblr? My pc is back in my home country 🥲
How do i save
If you click the plus sign by Attollo, there should be a section that says 'saves'. Click that and click an empty slot :)
Sorry i was being dumb 😂 also if the sibling turns out to be living it up as a criminal boss im going to throw my phone at a wall
There is an error that don't let you choose the name "Carla" for female sibling
RIZZED UP A GOD!!!! RAAAAAAAHHHHH
Which options did you pick
i mostly chose the options related to sysba, when you arrive at atollo. go up the city and then you'll have your first interaction with him.
When you try to check your relationship with Gasper, it says "error file not found"
Ah, thanks for letting me know! I'll get on fixing that ☺️
Thanks! Btw I LOVE this game. Its such a roller coaster of emotions and I've had to remember that I'm not actually in the game many times! Keep up the good work! <3
I love games like this I think these games are the future I mean games with a lot of freedom and choose your own adventure style
I'm so happy this is still being worked on!!! I found it a couple months ago and absolutely love it!
well. time to obsess over a new interactive fiction!
this is so good. I saw your Patreon post and understand you have a lot going on and that you’ve had some comments that have been making it hard to continue. Please take care of yourself. BUT ALSO. PLEASE CONTINUE. the characters, that atmosphere, the STORY. It’s all soooo good. You have something amazing here please don’t let a few impatient people ruin this for you. 🥲💕 I think it makes sense to establish a story before having a bunch of choices btw. 😌
Honestly 😭 I literally love this story sm, easily one of the best ifs out here
I gasped when Gasper popped up randomly on my screen (pun unintended). HE'S SO FIINNEEEEE
Edit: “Grab your stuff and come with me.” had me flailing my hands around and snorting like a little pig, it's not even funny 💀
When?? Where?!
i find the sysba/'ynmar comment in chapter 3 by Pariah to be odd, only because your sex doesnt = your pronouns. otherwise, i am super enjoying the game so far
I actually think this case is special, because if they're a shapeshifter, sysba absolutely can just *snap* and bam, their sex aligns with their pronouns.
deadlock cute as hell
I'm in love with this demo, especially Sysba and Dreamwalker! I have a question though, does the dream you get is in random or there's something that triggers it? What I go so far is the one at the ocean, the carnival and the hotel, are there more??

omg thank you!
The music in the club was atmospheric and I really liked it.Does anyone know the songs that were played there?
There's 9 songs that play with all of them seemingly being slowed and pitched down. I can't tell if some of them are covers and/or remixes so I apologize for that.
1. Shot It - KVPV
2. Love Lockdown - Kanye West
3. BALENCIAGA - kad1r
4. Treat Me Like A Slut - Kim Petras
5. Couldn't figure it out, sorry (Starts at 15: 38)
6. Cherry Cola - Lucky Luke & Gaullin
7. I See U - One True God
8. Toxic - Brittany Spears
9. THE SNAKE - Lana Luban
OMG, thank you sunshine <3
The missing song is Do It by TRFN! Love Lockdown was a cover by One True God, and Toxic was covered by Besomorph! Thanks GalacticSinner for covering the bulk—it looks like I missed the initial comment :( apologies!
this is awesome! Obviously there was MUCH work and thought put into this project, and all us readers certainly enjoy it!!
So, I'm on Operator's route and I'm in The Labyrinth. I'm stuck on the riddle: "What's black, white and red all over?" It's a newspaper. I've put them in the input field multiple times. I've tried a newspaper, A Newspaper, newspaper, Newspaper, etc.. and still it keeps going back to the buzzing and stating that it's not correct. That's the answer to the riddle.... HALP!
It's case sensitive! The answer should just be:
Newspaper
No comma or quotations!
Hrmmm, I'm pretty sure I did that as well. But I will try it again! :)
Maybe my PC hates me. Hahahhaa. It's working now.
I'm glad it worked out in the end!!
Is the demo not gonna be updated like on patreon ? ^^"
The demo has been updated! :) ops route is up to play!
The save I did lead me to the end of the demo, do I have to restart ? :3
The demo does end at the end of Operator's route, so if you did not get access to his route, you may need to restart!
Finished the demo on Sysba's route- AMAZING! The plot summary alone made me want to play, but once I saw we could romance an eldritch god I was SOLD. Brilliant worldbuilding, loved your sense of humor, appreciated the Mean Girls reference 😉 My only complaint right now is the (occasional) long transitions.
Will other characters get art like Gasper? It was cool and I liked the way you implemented it where the snake is, but I was a little confused since he's just a side character (so far?).
The intention is to get art of other characters (RO's, Abyssal, Helios, Deadlock, etc) who will be key players :) thank you for all your kind words!!
Are gasper and deadlock really not romancable? Feels like a huge missed opportunity...plently of established chemistry
Gasper shows up for a quarter of a chapter?
Hey sorry no disrespect to you! Loved the game, sorry if that came across wrong
Hi I'm wondering when Dreamwalker's path will come into play ?
Other than that, i love the game! especially Sysba (really having a hard time choosing between him and DW)
ps: deadlock is ADORABLE
Hi! Technically, it's already kind of started once you finish the dream sequences! However, you'll see more of him (in a sense) come chapter 6. Thank you!!!
Good game!! Though question, did anyone else have Suha's name gone as soon as the "Slice and Paradise" starts?
me too
Great game but I have one complaint. I'm not able to save manually, every time I try to I get an error message. Has anyone else had this problem? Of so is anyone able to help me?
Hello! Thank you for the compliment! I'm sorry you're having difficulties with your saves. Depending on the browser you're using, you may need to clear cache and see if that works, or test the game on another browser!
Hopefully it clears up!

oh wow this is lovely and i really want to have a date with gasper after the curb stomping since he is greener than men i know in real life •//~//•
ha ha can i be pinned on the wall by gasper romantically?????? ^//O//^/ /jk (maybe)
oh dear 💀

Hello! Thank you for your kind words!!
I'll definitely see if there's a way I can have an option to turn the text off so it won't cause any further issues!!
aaaagh i'm trying to get dreamwalker as my ro and he barely shows up until the end- babe i'm trying to ROMANCE HIM THAT STUPID SUCKER 🥺💔😊
no complaints though!!! this is phenomenal!!!
also gasper and deadlock should totally be able to be romanced ❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately they aren't romanceable, but you can in your heart.
nooo sad!!! oh well, time to set my sights on somebody else!! :)))
Isn't Dreamwalker on the RO list up there?
that's what i thought, but i don't know?? maybe he's one of the lesser ro's?? we'll just have to see in the next update
I meant both Deadlock and Gasper aren't romanceable. Dreamwalker is.
SO UR TELLING ME GASPER ISN'T AN RP☹️
IM LITERALLY OBSESSED WITH THIS GAME
I just finished a play-through and my god I am so invested! Midway through the play-through I was invested enough to sketch my MC. I love all the details, the little memory work required, the fairytale, the foreshadowing. I also like how the development of the story and relationships don’t feel rushed at all.

Hope that helps, and thank you again!
i have such a crush on deadlock even if we annoy him 🥺 all the characters are sooooo good, most books tend to focus development only on the ROs
Welp time to choose between two of my favorite love interest
Thank you for the update author, been waiting for so long even in dashing.com. 😍😍😍
I've re-read this again and found how much i love every cast member. They're all captivating and unique in their own way
Really love this game! I'm only on chapter 3 right now and I'm so conflicted on what the mc should do.
Will you by chance ever have a walkthrough made for this?
Hi! Once the book is finished I will!
Cheers!!
Oh awesome! I'm going through now and doing what I think my MC would do, but later on I'd like to go through and see all other options as well and what decisions lead to where. Lol
Very good game, wish it could be the full version! But a person can dream.
Good luck with the development!
This story had me by the throat. I could hardly bear to step away. I felt genuine terror during Dreamwalker’s lovely appearance. Very well written.
Do you plan on a Poly route?
Hi! Yes, with Sysba and DW, but it won't be implemented until the end of book 2!
Ok. Can't Wait!
