love this game

(+2)

This is honestly a nice VN. Its very short and simple but the way the story is presented is really good. Its really great how simple dialog can tell so much about whats going on :D

(+3)

This has such intense emotion and I really like that. It's not too explicit and I love all of the options and endings to choose. The art and music are great too. Wonderful job of bringing contrasting themes together. <3

This is such a good game.. hatoge you are so awesome this game even made me tear up. its beautiful really.

This was... genuinely stunning. Like in the 'stop, take a breath, recovery' sense. For all its simplicity, it had an incredibly oppressive atmosphere, until reaching the relief of the good endings. I think the music played a large part in that - it did an amazing job of setting the mood! - but the dialogue (and lack of, where that applies) did a great job too. It always felt like there was that underlying threat, even during the "kind" parts of the conversation.

Thankfully it's not something I can relate to on a personal level, but it felt real enough regardless. Saying I "enjoyed" it would definitely convey the wrong mood, but this was brilliantly done and I'm glad to have played it. Kudos!

amazing game, I love the message and the artstyle

I'm confused what happen why are they running wth I'm soo confused

this game made me create an account just to comment on it. Thanks for creating it. After a long 2 year abusive relationship, being able to "say" the things i didnt here felt really nice and healing. Also, the art is really pretty!

The dialogue feels really powerful in this one... i thankfully havent been in an abusive relationship, but even so it speaks to me. Hope youre doing okay!

(+6)

Thank you! The game isn't based off a specific experience I've had, just different anecdotes from a long time ago. So no worries - I'm doing fine. 😄But thank you for asking! :)

This is a really important game. I hope more people play it.

Im kind of confused

This is really impressive. It's crazy how just a few little sentence put so much effect on me. Really great game!

Sheesh~ another good game came out

(+10)

It's always hard to deal with this kind of topics in games without being disrespectful, taking it too lightly or making it too grim but, I think this game did it in spectacular fashion, I think the O2A2 rules worked really well, the game doesn't feel constrained or repetitive at all and it even has an abundance of endings without feeling too repetitive.

The artwork, the little wobbly animated effect and the music really set the mood for what is gonna be a sad yet necessary introspection into human interaction and how we can solve our problems and correct our mistakes. Definitely one of those games where less just happens to be more.

Keep up the good work!

The artwork drew me in and I'm glad I gave this a try. :) Well-crafted and emotional. Will definitely check out more of your stuff! <3

(+5)

Very powerful storytelling, subtle yet emotional and mature. You are a master of your craft!

(+1)

It's really impressive in all its aspects!
And with the little time you had it wasn't easy at all to deliver a game, albeit a good one, and here you are! I really liked your entry Hatoge!

(+2)

To be able to tackle mature themes is admirable. Even more so with the time crunch. Good job.

This was amazing! I can't believe you made it in 20 hours! It's so atmospheric and immersive. I'm definitely taking notes from this for my next VN.

(+2)

I was thoroughly impressed by this and then EVEN MORE SO when I found out you made it as a last minute entry!? so so so so good! I have yet to get all the endings but I will definitely be replaying to try and get them all.

I really enjoyed the writing and story and the visuals are incredible! I love the textures and movement it adds so much I want to EAT IT ῍̻̩✧(´͈ ૢᐜ `͈ૢ)˖῍̻̩

Really great usage of the limitations presented through O2A2, amazing job!

omg i had noticed that u posted a new game and i love all your artwork and designs !!!

(+1)

This is a very good game! I love the "wiggling" effects, and the dialogue is very real. The art is lovely. My only issue is that there is no way to skip previously-seen dialogue, which makes getting all the endings a bit of a drag, especially because of the slow pace of the game.

(+1)

i was so excited when I got a notification that you released a new game, and it did not disappoint! i always love the mature, real themes in your games and the way they're executed!

I love your game. Some choices make me, the player, feel hopeful, some make me nervous, and a lot make me sad and sorrowful. I'm happy you showed the roller coasters those relationships are. Thanks for your game
