i really like this and i like the music a lot it makes my laptop to vrrrrrr!

(+1)

the twists in this are so fascinating and delicious and unique. filled me with dread the whole time, but the dread shifted partway through. i love these weird, fucked up girls

(+1)

Really beautiful and haunting. Can't really describe it otherwise than an encounter with a carnivorous flower. Aesthetically stunning with a phenomenal sense of style (soundtrack and graphics) and with a twist that will leave bruises on my stomach for many days more. Thank you for this.

(+1)

oh :( i didn't expect this but i really enjoyed it. 

(+1)

Took a turn I really didn't expect. This was sad/unsettling/lovely. 
The art is unique and incredible to look at, it's just very pleasing! Such a distinct style.

(+2)

this was SO GOOD oh my gosh. one of my new all-time favs. i love these girls so much their relationship was so real and layered! tels is the most precious traumatised kidult ever. the art production was outstanding, the team must have worked so hard on art and and styling.

(+8)

i can not escape it

(+3)

I absolutely love this. If you ever need a pro bono translation into Spanish (Latam), hmu! You can contact me at ceciliasancheztrad@gmail.com

I'd love to collaborate!

I fucking hate trying to be normal

(+3)

i feel so fucking hollow and unreal and,,,,, i,,,, gfg,,,,,, thank you so so so much for this, really. i feel sick. everything here is so familiar. i.,. ewhrkjdfg,fds,,, i dont know what to say i just,., thank u. <333

(+3)

showing this to ALL my lesbians rn..

(+3)

this game...was truly something familiar, a mix of feeling disgusting, and portraying the feeling of rotting internally. how people try so hard to be 'normal' or define what 'normal' is. I love the concept of this game. 

(+2)

I.. feel empty.. this is art.. 

(+2)

The story absolutelly destroyed me, it's so, beautifully dreadful.

And the visuals are very cute! i love the lowpoly asthetic!

 I loved it from start to finish but now i need to take a break to go cry.

(+4)

i struggle to put into words how this made me feel. the scene where they watch the movie for the last time together really made me feel sick to the stomach, excellent foreshadowing. thank you to the team for sharing this wonderful game.

(+8)

all of your talents mesh so harmoniously together...i keep wondering if kit and tels would be happier under different circumstances. watching an admired person degrade over time for the sake of work-as-exploitation hurts immensely. the music is hauntingly warm, i love the gui and the changing colors within it, the models and the cgs created with them are so so beautiful. i really enjoy how the characters think and are written. kit and tels strike me both as childlike adults that have found a special comfort and understanding with one another. even if/when they hurt the other. i think that bond is special and rare and it makes the tragedy of the end hurt so much more.

the scene where kit talked about her hair really moved me as that was once a vice of my own. wahh. thinking about everything again and i feel very touched... ;__; a beautiful creation, thank you

(+1)

wow.

(+2)

i played this a few days ago late at night and i still find myself thinking new things about it, overall incredible work on all fronts. the way the dynamic unfolded was truly mezmerizing and even though this world is cruel there is still yuri and i think that is great

(+2)

Just incredible, heartbreaking, a beautiful memorial. 


Tiny bug report, Tels is mislabeled as Kit for one line at the beginning of the conversation with the aide

(+1)

SPOILER ALERT


This is great. I loved the overall atmosphere, especially when Kit left or during that one intimate scene with the two. I also cannot go without mentioning the CGs, which are also very nice. Same goes for the soundtrack. Amazing work overall!

(+1)

peak

(+3)

WOWOW. i'm just floored. what a beautiful, mysterious, fascinating story that truly lulls you in and hurts where i rly didn't expect. this will haunt me, especially those instances of frightening, almost supernatural intimacy. i find myself realizing alongside tels how my harrowing curiousities bring me in deeper and deeper into the layers of puzzles this story presents, and i just ate this up.

oh tels. oh, oh kit.

everyone shined in this, from the mystical music and dynamic UI to the hypnotic and grounded writing, not to mention such cohesive visuals and pretty scenes. absolutely glowing.

(+2)

Oh my god this was amazing in all the wrong ways!! 

Genuinely I am so disturbed. Seeing every thing trough tels unknowning perspective adds so much to the story. 

I will have to play it again now that I know whats going on so I can fully understand everything. 

The part where tels sees that the moles are in the wrong spots reminded me off that one song 

"U're starting to look really weird, oh ya ur face is out of place and I can't make u out"

It just popped in to my head

(+3)

omg this went in a direction i completely didn't expect!! i loved loved loved the dynamic between tels and kit, even if tels was like looking at all kit's socials and being a little obsessive idk it made me love them so much more. i had to keep reminding myself what jam this was made for so i could prepare my heart... and ooooouuughh im glad i did </3 what an outcome... i thought maybe kit would end up being not at all what she seemed and while her outcome is tragic i also feel happy that tels could help tether her to a part of herself she thought she lost. all of the people on this project totally killed it, i loved discovering all of what was going on alongside tels and the 3d work was so fun, there are quite a few really nice compositions. i am of course writing all of this feeling so sad in my heart but also very full because those cozy scenes were so beautiful and nice <3 i sincerely look forward to more collabs hopefully i am crossing my fingers so hard!!!

Very much shelved in the drawer that reads

"THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL ABSOLUTELY EMPTY"

/pos

(+2)

I loved this story lol, I didn't quite understand it in the way I feel I should've but it was still VERY enjoyable

(1 edit) (+11)

There's a lot in this game, and I think it will stick with me for a while. Honestly the part that hit me the hardest were the discussions about hair. The reports also felt like a punch to the gut. I can't stop crying. Thank you.

edit, still crying. had to draw something

(+3)

To have moved you so deeply warms my heart. Your artwork has really made my day. Thank you for reading 

(+2)

this was incredible... these characters... the style... omg. i could not get enough of looking at these girls and the world they move around in

(+3)

This was beautiful and haunting. The art is so nice to look at. I love the character designs and how both characters were written. They felt very real and visceral. Such a sad and eerie story. I will be thinking about it for a while.

(+5)

That was enthralling. I had no clue what kind of mystery would evolve here, and I was torn between moments of sadness, disgust, and anxiety.

I didn’t expect to find myself in Tels the way I did. But, her obsessive clawing for knowledge is a pattern that I recognized with myself to a degree.

Bean’s art was beautiful and it’s wonderful to see her artistic skill grow at such an incredible rate. The switch of artstyles in between was really starteling and unnerving. It matched the scene and how unnatural Kit behaved and how scared Tels felt.

The music was fitting the moods very well. The sound had a very particular feel to it, that mixed well with the visuals. And, I liked the small details like the switching colors of the frames, and the fancy “fl” ligature.

(+2)(-1)

great game but THAT this early on?

still 10/10

(+2)

congrats on the release!

(+2)

how it feels

(+3)

Came for the yuri and the artstyle, stayed for the character development and the narrative, 10/10 that was dreadful af.

(+3)

Wowowowow...!!!

After playing this I just sat in thought for a few minutes, collecting my thoughts.
The visuals are stunning-- The styling is really unique and I love the border and the expressiveness of the characters. The whole game feels both lived in and desolate (saying the latter in a good way-- It feels appropriately haunting like that).
The music compliments the game so well... It adds to really well to the strange, surreal and lonely feeling of the game.

The character design and artwork is gorgeous and stands out. I felt heavily for both characters and I feel it's really a skill to make them so well rounded in an experience that took me only roughly an hour. The worldbuilding is a perfect mix of letting you know just enough to keep you interested and wondering about the parts left unsaid.

At times I felt tears welling up in my eyes and had to pause. Absolutely beautiful work from everyone involved <3

A really lovely, haunting story. The music, cgs and writing are wonderful,, Despite trying to consume as much as possible about the world and characters provided in this game, I'm left wondering if I really knew anything about them at all. That haunting feeling is something I feel will stick with me for a while. Tels and Kit feel so real,, Thank you for making this.
