Simply incredible from start to finish.  I haven't felt this seen and this validated by a story in a very, very long time; I was a frazzled, teary-eyed mess by the end, heheheh~  For that matter, the art and presentation alike are airtight throughout.

10/10 VN, well and truly~

made my day with this one thank yooou🙏

very good

glad you enjoyed!

Phenomenal, stunning. I adored the theater presentation and the script of its "one-woman" show; the Ave Mujica Episode 11 inspiration really shines and you've told an amazing drama. As one with "many psyches crammed into a beautiful body" I get the whole issue of contradictions of desiring to live among mortals versus embracing the truth. Big ups on that.

Thank you so much for the kind words! being alive is weird and stressful enough without the added pain of trying to be 'normal' imo

really beautiful work. I've been really insecure about being plural for a really long time lately because of my headmates not really communicating much with me and this made me feel a lot about that. thank you

thank you for the kind words!!

Basically perfect. The presentation is stunning, the writing is immaculate and the ending really makes you feel. The Understudy did nothing wrong in her life.

that's fuckin right!!!!

Wow, this was stunning. I loved the presentation with the cuts and everything, the narrative was very good aswell and I could sense some of your inspirations (ave mujica anyone?). There was also some, almost vampiric theming that I really fucked with.

Thank you for the kind words! once the post-jam patch is out I hope to put together a postmortem covering inspirations and how we reached the game's aesthetic and such, including the fabulous ave mujica episode 11 lmao

Absolutely stunning presentation. The directing of the camera, hurriedly panning around the screen at times, the gentle flap of the moth's wings during the monologues, and the heartbreaking story of jealousy, pining, and desire to be free. 

I've read/watched/played games with theatrical inspirations before, but this is probably my favorite use of the stage presentation yet! Incredible work.

Thank you for playing! overjoyed to hear that you had such a good experience with it

The theatrical presentation is absolutely intoxicating. I can't believe you managed something so engrossing in the span of a game jam! I had my breath tight the entire time totally enthralled. I can't even begin to touch on the story because all of it just filled me with so much.... art. Poetry. It reminded me very much of my favourite band/theater troupe who does shows combining music, circus and poetry. And one of their mottos is "Poetry Prevails". That's how I felt about it. I came into this jam thinking about ways I wanted to stretch and tear the medium and you did something phenomenal with it. Absolutely stellar performance. 

Thank you so much for the lovely words!!

This was incredible. Both the art and writing jsut packed me by the hand and didn't let me go while leading me through the stage play. The way the scenes and words play together to create something greater together is really impressive.

(Also couldn't install the agme via the itch client but download from the site worked fine)

Thank you for the kind words!! And that's good to know about the download 🙏

Really fantastic! I can tell y'all poured your hearts into it. Took my breath away

You're too kind... It did nearly kill us tho

Really fucking awesome use of visuals and theming. Love the writing, you're especially skilled at packing venom into words.
