Thanks for the update! Hope you have a great year and looking forward to the release whenever that may happen. Make sure to take care of yourself before the game!!

thanks for the response, yeah saw on patron after I commented this about the delay. Can't wait til Feb at least

I saw on patreon that the game was gonna be released to steam and itch Decemeber 25th after development. Congrats first of all on all the work put into this gem of a game!! Just wondering if this game page will be updated on itch or will a new game page be made? Also as this beta game was paid for, does the finished game require additional payment as well?

Of course! Ive never done game design or development so I cant be one to talk but Ive always noticed games thag get abandoned are usually always the ones that push for consistent and fast updates. Especially as you have your personal life to deal with and this game along with the others youve made are stuff that you chose to put free time into, its important us consumers and a part of the community at least do the decency of being understanding and patient for something we're not owed. It shouldn't be super stressful for you so please take as much time and rest as you need so youre happy with your efforts and also in general content with your work versus personal life balance.

Totally understandable and appreciate the response! I hope you take as much time as you need with this game as usually deadlines and stress affect the project's end result. Good luck with the process and cant wait for the official release (way further down the line ofc)! ♡♡

Love this game concept and the adaptability for the story. Its super immersive which is what I personally love for dating sims when it feels like you're being addressed and in the story, not just a placeholder that you communicate through. Quick question, as this game is a part of the queer games bundle this year but is still in development does that mean when the game is officially released, players wont have to repurchase it?

I'm super digging these darker romance games,  small personal preference maybe change the textbox or add the option to have a simpler textbox with larger font just as the artwork is beautiful and the bold textbox kind of clashes with it. The writing is amazing though, can't wait for updates!

Just curious, I love the game but is there any future updates planned or is the current version the final?

I just played this game after the first one and woah, gotta say I love the second one more. Understandably since they were made at different times, but props to the developer for improving an already solid story concept. I kinda want more of the story but there's no need since there plenty of content and endings. They all make sense and are written really well.  The music is absolutely amazing along with the art, it sets the tone of the stories so well. If you're into yanderes and dating sims, this is definitely something you should give a shot!

Thanks for the update and new content, Ciel is definitely making waves! Hope you have time to yourself as well with how hard you've been working <3 

This was a game with a lot of buzz around it so now that I had the time I finally gave it a go, it was well worth it! At first I wasn't super thrilled with the banter aspect because Im not a fan of bullying or teasing to show love (idk im just like that lol) but the writing was so great and it felt like a really good slow burn. If you're on the fence, go and download it, you'll love this game if you love immersive dating sims

This was a great otome game! the nostalgia of running through every route until relying on a walkthrough because the answers have to be super specific lol. I also love how every route builds the overall picture, and while there are tropes the story doesn't focus on everyone suddenly loving the MC. Momotaru's route scarred the shit out of me, it's kind of sad both his happy and bad ends suck for him, but the concept overall is great and well executed. 

I loved playing this game and seeing it through until the finish. This was a different type of visual novel but its honestly done so well that I think it deserves more recognition! True, its not a dating sim but friend-sim instead, but that doesn't take away from the story and the writing helps you grow attached to the characters regardless. 

SPOILERS

Honestly I agree with more people, I loved the twist but not the actual ending itself. It was cool to see the hints from earlier chapters and the MCs behaviour be explained/come together in the end, but getting nearly killed by Twyla with no option to fight back is a disappointing. Especially since previous chapters require certain choices in order to gain hearts, so having no choices matter in the end was a bit of a bummer. I think multiple endings could be cool, but I also wanna acknowledge how hard the dev worked on this and for how long. So if the dev wants to start a new project and leave this one as is, I totally respect it and look forward to their future work! Even with the ending, this is a really great visual novel that if you're hesitant to check it out, give it a try! You might have fun collecting hearts.

This is a super self aware and fleshed out sim, not the typical fluff and stuff you usually get which makes it so great! Don't get me wrong, there were many moments where my heart dropped because as the content warnings list, there are some heavy themes touched in this. Love the art, characters and story, everything about it makes for a great game. Congratz on the release!

Loved the art style, music, pacing and story! It really made me feel safe with hatchet man even though he'll prob end up killing the MC. This reminded me a lot of other great horror dating sims out there, so I can't wait to see where this game goes!

Absolutely loved this game, the tone shift really caught me off guard and got me more interested! Can't believe this was done for a Jam, truly amazing work!

Aw, this game is so cute and charming! Loved playing it and not that long to get through.

in that case it could be a bug? Have you tried completing starting over with new save slots? If so it’s probably a bug since over filling at work is what’s supposed to trigger it. 

you have to overfill your diaper at work and then it will trigger the sissy route, but also I believe you have to raise your coworkers suspicions. If you need anymore help you should def join the discord :)

Absolutely loved this, it took a whole different turn from what I originally thought going in to the game. The characters and story is so creative and fun, it lifted my spirits after finishing. If you're contemplating on playing the game, please go for it!

I absolutely love blooming panic and the team that created it! It blew my mind that this was done in a game jam, it was already so good I didnt think they could top themselves! Congratz on the release and I hope the team enjoys their holidays, thanks for giving fans such a nice holiday present <3

I LOVE THIS GAME SO FREAKING MUCH OMG!!!!! It was so well made and really immerses you in it. There's just the right amount of content and all of the routes were so well written. The art is just *chefs kiss* Great job on this!!!!

I loved this, I'm hooked and it's amazing how much care went into this. One of my new fav otomes 

I did not play through all of the routes but for what I saw so far, I'd love to see more of this game! The writing and style is on point, it's really amazing what you guys created! Can't wait to see where this goes <3

This was really enjoyable! I was a little disappointed to see the person we play as so late in the demo as it gave a false impression of immersion. Other than that it is very well written and I can't wait to see what else happens!

Does anyone know what max like status you can get with harold? Also the highest bitch fame in bareshade and how to get it?

I could be wrong but I believe if you check all the junk piles in the junk yard you could find more. Not sure how many there are in total or if it's worth it tho since the junkyard is still being devloped story wise. 

Not sure how effective it is but if you roam the junkyard you can find more barricades, theres also the one in the underground when you explore. Hope this helps :)

For Xer does anyone know everything you can do with him?

This was a real gem to find! I don't usually play these types of sims but it was an interesting treat. Can't wait to see what else is in store and keep up the great work <3 

Only thing I could beat was leat'eq tokyo ;-;

I'm sad the demo didn't include Ben but great concept! Its pretty challenging even on easy, but that just made it more fun to try and beat. Are the characters available in the demo going to be the same in the full release? Kinda sad Ben's the only guy lol

I love this game and would love if there were more endings, but this really captures the RPG horror genre perfectly. Reminds me of Mad father and Misao which absolutely terrified me but the story was extremely compelling. Worth the 45 mins of playtime!
