Where the hell are the comments???? ;n;

I like the story so far, the storyline and characters are so interesting :) I really enjoy the backrooms lore so I had to try this game!

The voice acting was really immersive and the characters fit them well (Glarence my sweet angry pie I wanna see him blush so hard) 

It was such a nice time to just sit back, relax and let the game play itself :) Thank you so much for creating this game!

Tysm, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. T_T So glad you like the game!

Also, love that Glarence is your favorite!  I knew I wanted an angy love interest in there from the start lol. :3

Finally, the demo is being totally revamped and updated for this year's Otome Jam!  I'll try to remember to reply to you again when it's out!
