i catch myself thinking about this game now and then, far after i've played it. great work, haunting and intense.
This was a wonderful-written game by kiri, with good visuals by merengedoll. After the play through it was interesting to read about more the design of the Bee from X, I think it turns out to be awesome.
Talking about story and the way it is written, just want to say I guessed the reason why we were in the woods, but the ending just left me speechless. And the talk between the characters, it feels very natural.
This game really inspired me to do something similar someday. Really a good game. Thank you kiri and merengedoll.
This game is so raw in the best sense there is, everything is incredible and I adore it. One of the best visual novels I have ever played.
BASED GAME!!! Im literally so obsessed i need this to be more popular i relate to bee way too much and im way too obsessed ..:3
Masterful writing, the weird fucked up tension going on between two people who haven't talked to one another for ages is just so well encalupsated. Thank you so much for making this <3
After playing this it reminded me that I want to understand someone but even understand I still can't accept what they did.
Damn this vn made me tear up a bit cause i sort of relate to their relationship. Awesome game brah really wished there was an alternate ending tho cuz this one hit me alot LOL
I very much liked the character art.
I had a hard time keeping track of the characters since the one we are given choices for was unable to say the kinds of things I would want to say and the other was completely out of our control. Maybe I should not have tried to imagine myself there at all and just let the characters be.
One of the most visually appealing, narrative grabbing games I've found on itch. What an experience, wish there was more.
Cool game. You nailed the tension and estrangement between two friends who drifted away from each other really well.
Ohh, I loved this. Interesting story development, realistic dialogue... Thanks for creating!
the pain in this game feels so thin and spread out as if it could dissolve any moment
but it doesn't , it chooses to stick
i love this game
loved it all, really compelling with great atmosphere (& the old cursor is such a nice touch!)
There might be some probably not good wordings in my review, I'm still trying my best, but I had my fun time. I also did a commentary version of this.
thank you for playing!
