I got the "love" ending first and thought it was just friendly love until I played again and got the actual "friend" and "eternity in hell" endings, lolololol. great game though! the artstyle and humor was my favorite, along with the general plotline itself of course, would totally play your other games!
This game was adorable! ;-; It's sooo nice seeing Baphomet.. or any demonic entity, portrayed as a cute type of character. Definitely different! I loved every second of it, and the art is sooo cute.
I absolutely loved this! It's a special brand of adorable and relatable in spite of the fact that few of us have ever gotten on this particular train before.
Lovely game and beautiful art :D I'm a videogame translator and localizer and I'd love to work with you in translating the game into Spanish if you're interested! Message me if that's the case, have a nice da!!
I love this, it’s so cute. I love the ending that I got :); I'm glad that it ended happily for me. But I am curious as to what the other endings are like. I'll have to go through it again and see what happens :)
The only thing negative that I have to say about the game is that whenever you get the Friend and the Love endings, you get the line "I would love to keep in contact with a friend" (or something like that) and I feel that you should get a different line because when I played through this it felt weird to have him say friend when he loves us. Anyway, amazing game
Depends on where you downloaded the application. If it's in the Downloads folder, you will want to open Terminal and type in "cd ~/Downloads/" and then run the command described in the description. Let me know if that helps.
AHHHHHHHHHH this was so cute! I just finished my first playthrough and gained Baphomet's love. I loved the conversation and the art style is ADORABLE. I look forward to playing any future games you guys make! :D
Hello! Thank you for blogging about our game! It's been really insightful, and I'm very grateful you took the time to write up so much about our little game. I'm really happy you enjoyed the ambiance and aesthetic of the game.
If you're interested in the details, I can provide some background on the game as a project. (This is mostly because you mentioned you were curious but don't feel the need to read this entire wall of text, lol)
This was a somewhat academic foray into narrative based game development for me. It was me and the artist seeing if we could actually get something done in a month while working our day jobs (also in game development, but in an entirely different genre).
I chose not to use third party plugins because I wanted to try to build a story system myself. It definitely isn't as polished as if we had used a pre-built solution, but I also wasn't sure how extensible pre-built solutions would be if we decided to add something really off -the-rails, like, I don't know, floating text that runs away from your cursor to reveal different parts of the story. Definitely not something that fits the VN genre, but that was one of the things on my mind at the start of the project. Ultimately too ambitious though LOL.
I personally wanted to learn 3 things out of the project; how to write custom Unity editor tools, how to build my own story system, and how to use Unity's 2D lighting package to achieve interesting effects. So that was my focus for the project. I can't speak for the artist but I think they mostly focused on creating the character assets. They also did the bulk of the writing. I contributed edits and suggestions. Because neither of us are writers, so there's definitely valid criticism to be made (The first part of the story was written in the very beginning of the game jam, and the after-transition part was written at the end. There definitely is a bit of a disconnect, like you mentioned)
I think for the next project, if it were to be a VN, we would go with a pre-built solution and also try to get a dedicated writer/designer. That being said, doing this game this way definitely allowed me personally to learn a lot that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to.
And that's pretty much how it went down. Thanks again for writing about this game! I think feedback is really eye-opening, and it's always great seeing the little details you put into a game get noticed.
Oh dear, this game is amazing!The style?The story?The atmosphere?So beautiful!Truly, makes me want to see more stories from you, thank you!
Also...uh...Some words from (uh,is this spoiler???I will not mention the name but i guess you know who am i talking about) about art...I feel that.And things which was said from Pumpkin...This made me think of what i`m doing from different perspective.Thank you a lot for that. Uhh....i`m note sure if this spoiler...and i kinda messed up with it,but...here.Your game inspired me to draw this
Also-also, forgive me my mistakes, if there any, english is not my native language
OH MY GOD!!!! That's awesome!!??! Wow, I'm absolutely speechless. I never thought our little game would get fan art. Thank you so much, I'm sending this to the artist right now. You drew them so cute T___T I love Pudding's expressions in the first and second one, and you even drew the plants at the train station from the start menu!! There's so much personality in each of these, I hope you keep drawing. These are REALLY good! (And don't worry, I can totally understand your English <3)
I'm really glad that some of the game's dialogue touched you. People who've played the game have been telling me that they find the characters surprisingly relatable, and I think it's because some of it was pulled from our own experiences. Anyway, I hope you have a fantastic day, wherever you are. Thank you so much, I'm going to cherish this forever.
AHAHSUDDUD this is such a cute game, the art is adorable and amazing, the choices and endings are so sweet and feel very real, and I just love this game. I've gotten all 3 {I think there's only three} endings and I am in love. Please keep making games.
I've actually tried all three of those things in the same run and I got friendshiped again, I think I have to talk about his date? Possibly? Idk I'll have to test it out
This was so fun and cute. The artwork is well done and I couldn't help but smile when Pudding mentions Gastown since I used to go there whenever I would visit Vancouver. I really got a kick out of the story here. Hope to see more games from you in the future.

Would you mind if I were to write about it on my blog?
Yep, that's fine!

thanks for playing our game!

Yep there are only three. Thank you so much!! We will get back to it [Soon(tm)] eventually haha
This game is guilty in being super cute. =D I give it 5 stars. And i left wanting for more such stories. <3
Thank you!
i really like the game but it seems like no matter what i do i can only get the friendship ending and honestly don't know what to do
Here's a few hints if you're still interested
1) Tell him the balloon is a sweet idea
2) Play along when he asks if you're a motivational speaker. Your motivation doesn't come cheap.
3) Be more positive when you go to the Other Side. Say that it's radical!
I've actually tried all three of those things in the same run and I got friendshiped again, I think I have to talk about his date? Possibly? Idk I'll have to test it out
Try following this play through, the romance end is reached near the end of the video!

I love this game so MUCH i actually love the Face expression i LOVE IT I LUV THEM AAAAAAA!!
Thank you so much <3<3<3
This was so fun and cute. The artwork is well done and I couldn't help but smile when Pudding mentions Gastown since I used to go there whenever I would visit Vancouver. I really got a kick out of the story here. Hope to see more games from you in the future.
Your game is at 3:43
Great work!
Thank you! I'm glad you recognized the Vancouver references ^_^
