THANK YOU FELLOW COMMENTORS FOR THE FINAL CANDY I NEEDED !!! Deeply appreciated that you shall all share your secrets <3

I found the snowman, candy in the box, free sample cookies, pie, candy cane from tree, heart chocolate, gingerbread man and peppermint on my own. 

BUT OH MY STARS JAXTER ???? NERVOUS BOY WITH THE CLIPBOARD MARKING PEOPLE DOWN LATE AND BREAKING THE RULES ????? man, I love how your characters pop up continuously, like, oh my god. 

My mind was like "Jaxter? That's familiar" and then I saw his design and I GASPED bcuz !!! THATS HIM !!! I remember him from Here For Sweethearts !!! Buddy's got a job murdering people now ig :pensive: 

Okay but Fia is just precious, she's here for treats and that's it, and, ykw, I gotta respect a person with goals. She had ambitions and she went for it.

Fia's mother just being like "Oh that's a nice dream :>" unknowing to her daughter seeing with her own two toddler eyes Jaxter covered in blood. We love wholesome family time.

I find it amusing the in-lore implications for why it takes Fia finding 11 candy for her to go from just being like "had good dream with treats :3" to "i had great dream with treats and uncle jax was there!!!" 
She tells her mother either way, and the mother is nonethewiser. But still. Something about getting 11 candy just unlocks Fia's third eye and gets her to vocalise who she saw lmao

Thanks for creating <3333

EDIT; oh, btw, found a small glitch! When passing through the screen just before the cutscene spot, if I try going that way on anything that isn't the footpath, I loop back the other way to the one prior. Not sure how well I explained that, but, yeah :D headsup

We are very determined when it comes to being told that we can go above and beyond in minigames! Do fear us and our determination <3

Beebee is being very well-taken care of! They're precious, and I love them very much.

Thank you! Now I just need to go around and find her birthday,,, sighs,,, these questions are destroying me but for the 100%!

A victus windows laptop! So yeah, I don't know how it's happening either lmao. But it happened every time I didn't take a break between puzzles, the prior puzzle would get stuck.

And no, I never reported the Raguna bug. . .The laptop I played it on is no longer in my possession either, so I don't think I can retrieve the save file. . .Unless the save file is linked to account and not device? Idk, haven't tried games I've got save files on yet. But I assume not. Appreciate the offering to help though <33

EDIT; yeah, just doublechecked and confirmed it being my account does not save my save files for games. RIP o7

ALRIGHT! SO!!! Fantastic game, loads of fun and tons of replay ability specifically for the minigames. I did the greatly advised against act of taking that "Aim for 99!!" with 100% seriousness and refused to listen to reason. Anyway, you scared the crap outta me by programming in a close game function after doing 100, bcuz I hadnt saved since I had done my highscore of 30 for the memory game. Anyway, here's my photographic proof.

Victory truly is sweet.

And before you become worried...I did space out my memory puzzle gimic. I did it twenty or so at a time, taking intermittent breaks to do other stuff in the game, like the puzzles or dreams. But I am insane, and to be revered and feared <3

Anyway, I didn't realise the time loop dream had anything but the song in it because I got the song my FIRST TIME FOR THAT DREAM. I DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS LIMITED EDITION !!! I DIDNT APPRECIATE THE SINGING ENOUGH </333 Srsly, you sung like an angel, in my totally unbiased happy opinion. 
I only realised there was more to that dream because of your DEV log notes saying that if I didn't recognise the tune, I hadn't found all there was to that dream. . . I did recognise the tune, but i replayed the dream for the other content in there. MMMM FUN STUFF !!!

Btw, found a glitch
When you say "do another puzzle" without taking a break, uh. This happens. (screenshot taken halfway through me already doing the puzzle bcuz i felt like it)


The previous puzzle that I solved got stuck on the screen and was there until I completed the new puzzle, which then replaced that image. So yeah! Glitch found.

Here is my Thing! Their name is Beebee

I love and appreciate my special "Thanks for playing" artwork very gently thank you for that <3 Yes. Very nice.

I still have the bonding with Komi to do, but I am currently stuck as girlie requires me to tell her what her favourite sport is............I do not know her fav sport and I am unsure of where to go to unlock that information so that would be real handy ngl,,,,,,,,

Being able to go in and choose music to vibe to is an absolute gem of a function, cheers to that. Currently vibing to the "final boss" track.

Regardless, thank you so much for creating <3 !! All your games are so unique, it's really a blast playing around with them.

-Spoilers ahead-

OH MY HEAVENS IM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME ??? THE ART STYLE IS SO PRETTY AND YES, THE TEXT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND AT TIME (with the funky/pos/neu lettering going on, especially with the I) IT'S SO GOOD !!!! AAAA/pos

Everything is so creative and immersive and I love everyone here. They're all so unique, you did really well on characterising them.

Here's my live review of me making comments in my bookmark/collection for this game, it's a long one strap in.

"??? ending (I dont know why you did that exactly but ok"
For the ending achievement, dear creator, obviously. I needed it for the record.

BAHAHHA jumpscared myself with spontaneous Spotify playlist. That's really neat actually, I wonder how the coding for that happened, how'd you do that? Clicking their figures gives us a personalised playlist for the character. Really interesting! Thanks. (Post-Ghostie here, all the playlists really fit the vibes and attitudes of the characters good job)

Myth is a gorgeous automatic name. I'm gonna go by Riolle though.

*casually saves so I dont have to do the whole name and pronouns convention again (I really appreciate the personalised pronouns, it's extremely well-thought out for it)*

OH IM THE FLOWER !!!!!!!

Just saw Five's sprite in full, is she a ladybug ??? AWESOME !!! I love the visualisation of that, it's subtle but also clear !!! Amazing

Hello Bob, might I say you are a WONDERFUL moth/pos

Ace, chronic flirter it seems/teasing/pos
Ah. They're also a chronic dad-joke maker. Good for him!

Awww bless you Xaea, I wouldn't have yelled at you, I woulda just gone OW realy loudly, it's okay, calm down bbg I love you already

Ant!! ANT IS FROM A HIGH-RANK FAMILY ???? DAMN BOY WHAT ARE YOU DOIN HERE????

Oh my gods Xaea's a mother <33 Of course she'd fret about accidentally hurting someone

JAZZ MUSIC STOPS WJEGFU#RGFRF WHAT ??? ALL I DID WAS SAY THEY ALL HAD VALID POINTS AND I CANT VOCALISE MY OWN !!!!! THATS NOT A CRIME !!!!

Bug God I dont wanna hear your SASS. let me live my "I dont have to choose" dreams!!!!!

OMG MOOD ACE YOURE SO RIGHT ME TOO (<-- has no boundaries or lines in the sand until Smth happens to make me go "huh. i dont like that actually")

Ant is so professional and i kinda love them for it... Like, yes sir, love you and your straightforward ideals. Maybe a little controversial of a take but me too. Ugh, him saying "Not exactly" in response to if he's straightforward with his Feelings... Anyway, time to psychoanalyse a BUG/hj (okay but srsly that speaks a lot to how he's demonstrated that he is very goal and action focused, meaning he's less likely to think about his actual feelings on the matter in focus of getting to the matter at hand)

Xaea coming out here with that similar hot-take good for her she's a queen an icon I love her. (I find it funny how this game is just confirming my own thoughts on what my type is because the first person I was like "Oh hello" was Xaea, and she's the only she/her girlie of the bunch.)

Kale you have been abused in the past, haven't you ? Oh buddy........

Oh Kale's a fly, that makes sense, I was kinda zoned out honestly. JUST CHECKED AND HE'S A TRANS LAD !! GOOD FOR HIM!!! GO KALE !!!!! BE THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS

Oh dangnabbit I have to make a choice for who I'm most interested in as of yet... shit

oh sugar biscuits that's the end of the night ????? OH ??????? Okay ??? so there's totally more after this lmao omg i thought the dating show was the whole game. Oh woah hold on wait I just told Xaea I cancelled our date (I chose her btw) and the game ended without a ending title hold on
Okay back at this same point except I told Five I think I'm happy about it.

omg she's in casual wear somebody cradle my body as I perish now (she's so pretty omg)

Watch me preen as she tells me I'm nice and caring and that her kids should be chill with me for that because I am a SIMP

I got Xaea's good end <3333
Time to get her bad end frfr

NOOO SHES GLARING AT ME IM SORRY XAEA IM DOING IT FOR THE ENDING !!!! PLS FORGIVE ME FOR MY CRIMES IM SORRYYYYYYYY

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH I JUST GOT CALLED A BITCH !!! JUMPSACRE !!! im gonna cry im sorry dont be mad at me Xaea im just doing it for the ending pls pls believe me

oh sweet transformation !! EEK !!! 

ONCE AGAIN CREATOR BUG GOD I DO NOT NEED YOUR SASS !!!! IM GONNA CRY SHE FELT UPSET BY MY ACTIONS !!!!! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME (i did it to myself, completionist in me)

Oh? A call you say? AWWW I GET TO BABYSIT HER KIDS :D FRIENDSHIP !!!! (Her kids being called Spits and Spit is still really funny to me)

Next route is gonna be ACE BABYYYY, he's the one I'm most down for that wasn't Xaea

AWWWW OMFG HE CLAPPED THEIR HANDS IN EXCITEMENT AT BEING PICKED THATS THE CUTEST THING IVE EVER HEARD

Oh my heavens, he dressed up GOOD. Awesome, they look stunning in a suit.

HAH !!! Oh my stars he's one of those... One of them who can flirt and joke but then you turn the tables and they're a flustered mess (I just called them cute btw)

Oh my god yeah that's relatable. The knee-jerk ingrained responses taking over logic. Honestly, you could tell me I had done that--nearly calling drinks food--and I'd believe you.

"How should I say this? A hoe?" blunt mf/aff

Just unironically read "she's a good mom" as "she's a good worm" and was totally ready to accept that before going wait what? and scrolling back.

Ace is actually so cute, screw off, I love them

Aaaand once again I feel so bad being a dick im sORRY I JUST WANT THE BAD END DONT TAKE IT PERSONALLY ACE NO IM SORRY YOURE THE COOLEST ROACH I KNOW !!!!!!

he's so protective of their mum and he's so right for that I'm sorry baby lad I'm just being a dick for the ending kill me

They didn't have much money and this is the best they could give me :{{{ OMG BABY YOU DID SO GOOD DONT EVEN WORRY ITS AMAZING

I really need to stop doing the good endings first I keep hurting my own feelings knowing how they react in the good ending vs the bad one
I will not stop doing it this way

HE DIDNT EVEN KILL ME !!! HE JUST LEFT!!!! Bless them that version of Myth didnt DESERVE him

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG ????????????? OMG ANT AND ACE GOT TOGETHER IN THE NEUTRAL END WITH ACE OMG OMG OMG OMGOMOGOGGMGKG THATS SO CUTE OMGRJB $TJG HELLO???????? THE WAY WE VIDEOCALLED HIM IMMEDIATELY LIKE YEAH HOMIE WHATS HAPPENING A BOYFRIEND ON THE SCENE, EH????

I'm saving Ant for last bcuz I like his professionalism and that scene just now with Ace on a date with Ant has left me hopeful and giddy

Next up is Mx rockstar !!! GREEN BITCH!!!!

why hello TB man

I went to her concert in the good ending <333 Man my brother would be SOOO jealous, but hey, guess what duder? I JUST MADE BLAIR YOUR SIBLING-IN-LAW!!!!

Time to be an asshole (said with tears in my eyes, shaking like a leaf in the wind or a chihuahua)

It wasn't even Blair who got upset with me it was their fans :{{{ Dangnabbit I feel so bad that i made them so upset, they looked so sad and everything,,,

OH !!! I thought it was family in Ace's ending visiting but that's my brother !! ALASTOR !!! (equal opportunity killer Alastor--Hello its nice to meet you/ref/lyr/unr)

I love the little sketches/doodles at the end of each run they're so cute/pospos

Time for Kale !!! Little traumatised fly.

Oh I'm not gonna have fun hurting him emotionally am i

His love language is giving, and he is most adorable for this fact.

*gasps softly* omg his eyes are so pretty... Bless him. I am going to cry being mean to him later

Damn right he doesnt feel comfortably you've been a dick Myth !!!! How dare you!!!!

HOW DARE YOU TRY AND DO IT ANYWAY !!! GET A *GRIP* MYTH

Damn right you never see him again, how dare you do that to Kale!

Awwww siblinghood :D !!! Yeah he is very adoptable can concur

And we've done it, we have reached the dearly beloved Ant's route. get strapped into your seats folks!!!

The ?? THE PET NAME ????? SIR

*gasps softly* It was a bet ,,, this makes sense. Also, hello !! Axe :D Axe brother to Ant, brilliant

AWWW OH YM GOD HE JUST TOLD ME HES HAPPY ANYTIME THEYRE WITH ME STOOOP THAT ARTWORK ??? THAT BLUSH ??? THE WORDS THEMSELVES ???? EEEEEEK

Man all these other bad endings are so tame compared to my first one LMAO this one just ends with him dropping me off home and never seeing one another again

EVRUGVF EEEEEEE THEY DO IT IN BOTH NEUTRAL ENDINGS STOP THEYRE SO CUTE THEYRE DESTINED FOR ONE ANOTHER THE TWO HE/THEY'ERS OF THE CHAT GETTING TOGETHER I LOVE THEM ACE/ANT MY BELOVED

HELP--Ant's neutral end makes Ace look like he has zero thoughts in those eyes, they're just happy to be here

Me: *casually going through and seeing the different text styles and responses to me cancelling the date*
Also me: *sniffles bcuz they all took it so well what the fuck/pos*

Solid game. Very fun!

Btw, not sure if I did something wrong or not, but I didn't encounter any voice-acting lol? Maybe it was my penchant to click automatically when something starts typing or I had to activate something idk. Just curious!

But yes! This is an absolutely stunning game and I'm so glad to have played it !!! As of right now, my ranking of them are as follows;

Ace (he beat out Xaea after playing their route through sheer cuteness and puns, he's a mother's child and will stand for no slander in regards to her lifestyle and that's so respectable. So down-to-earth too <3 teaching me lore and shit like half-breeds and how they are treated)
Xaea (she is a queen, she is a mother, and I want her to hold me so badly with her plump body. Her kids are so sweet and I am so down to help her raise them despite not liking kids all that much (sorry Xaea) bcuz it's her.)
Ant (the pet names were everything to me and despite it being a bet initially, he's clearly trying very hard even if they're very polite about it all. And we COOK TOGETEHR in the good ending)
Kale (would have absolutely placed him higher if I didn't like the others so much. But he's genuinely such a good person, so caring and sweet and I want to gently treasure him. He needs the softness, yk? Gotta love the adoption representation there too, though it sucks his adopted family is shit D:)
Blair (same as Kale, would have placed them higher if I didn't like the others so much. They're very endearing and kind whilst also being blunt! They went for boredom, and they're allowed so much better than anything ever. And in that ending I can bring so much joy to my older brother Alastor's life <3)

So yeah!!! Thanks for creating :D Had a wonderfully fun time.

Fellow player here, Alastor is the main character's sibling! The one who is a fan of the rockstar, Blair? Yeah! We meet him during Ace's neutral ending and in Blair's neutral ending.

In the second and third day, there's a glitch (which, as I type this, I am unsure if it was intentional?) where, when entering or leaving the basement, you can go outside the boundary lines.

^^ this one can happen on day 2 and 3 by entering the basement, leaving, and moving left

^^ this one can only happen on the third day, and you can do it by entering the basement, and then going up, and you have the whole thing just outside the barrier lines to yourself. It also lets you go down the wall if you move down above the clock or calender.

So yeah !! If you weren't aware, now you are, and if this was intentional, it has been recognised!

The style of this game was just delightful !! The colours, the fight mechanics, the storylines, just absolutely wonderful !! 

I did end up having some trouble getting the thing to work, because it downloaded as a download folder and I had to go retrieve a ".rar opener" to finish the job, which is intentional, but I didn't realise until i read someone else's words in the comments (thank you lads <3)

I also ended up locating a bug !! In the fight against the alpha wolf, when selecting {behead the wolf}, my game...malfunctioned and just kept continuing the fight? And then, a few hits later, it would give me the same question, and it would happen AGAIN, the fight just kept Looping. It was only thanks to the bonus room that I knew for sure that was a bug, and that's where Ending B is supposed to be located.

Thank you for creating <3 This was a lovely game to experience, even if I did end up having some personal issues with it lol

Happy to flatter you with sincere word-dumping !! It's my favourite past-time for sure for sure.

Each of the endings are just wonderful !!! lovely lovely endings each with their own Implications.../pos

I'm glad you liked my little drawing of him giggles! He was very fun to draw

Oh yeah, no, for sure. Mans is DEDICATED and I don't see him giving up for realsies any time soon. He can recognise that Right Now, he still isn't liked by Prin, but mans is a lil delulu in that he believes with 100% certainty he can win back their affection given time. He'd only leave Prin if he thinks Prin needed time before he could win them over again. But he is still very dedicated to them, for sure. He just puts up that air of nonchalance towards them for personal reasons, but he definitely hasn't Actually moved on. His perspective is less "This is Game Over, no more playing" but rather "Game Over? I have a safe file just before it, we're fine". 
(Yes you can have hcs as the author lol, they are technically just called Canon, but, HC's work when it hasn't been Officially stated inside the original work)

Oh me oh my !! Art for the prequel for the little Ghostie? Tis an honour !! IS THE PINK-HAIRED ONE PRIN ???/pos

Scrolling through the comments today led me to discover Prin was a girl, I had suspicions, and that's why I they/them'd Prin during my comments lol. Lovely gender-neutral name, was also another one who went "boy love story my beloved--" on instinct about them pffft--Either way, still love Prin, she deserves better and also some stability

Oh those are absolutely gorgeous doodles, I'm gonna pick them up and eat them now, thank you :D !! 

Happy to brighten up your days heheh <3 !! Your VN just had so much to say about it :>
Twas only right

I'm so glad you had such a fun time reading through my comment !! I was a little worried if you would be overwhelmed by the massive wall of text but I'm glad you loved it so much !!!

I noticed that you didn't have a "check out other stuff by Pixeliminal" option but I didn't realise this was genuinely your first game !! Trust me, imposter syndrome is a bitch, especially when it comes to creating and putting something out there for the first time. I literally could not put this game down! If I could, I'd go back in time just to relive it all over again !! Maybe postpone playing it to clear my tabs of the other games on my to-do list because playing anything else after THIS lovely masterpiece of a game feels underwhelming, even when I know there's more gems like this to be found and enjoyed to this same degree! Don't worry, you absolutely nailed interest and entertainment for this game, it kept me invested all the way through, and the design is just so warm and that just makes the horror even BETTER when it does strike !! You did so SO good dude, you are deserving of all the love you're getting already for this game. And all the love you'll get in the future.

I'm glad you put yourself out here too !! Because, as I said, this game was an utter delight to play. The visuals, the soundtrack, the way you did the options, the mini games like the maze and Escape Demon Kitty? Everything was so well-done, I'm proud FOR you that you could accomplish this well-polished of a game as your first true venturing into designing, creating and manufacturing your own game! Of course, it's obvious such a polish comes from how much you overthought and compensated for the idea that people wouldn't like it, but STILL!! It's an absolutely beautiful game, and I have zero regrets picking it up.

I'm actually going to click the follow button for you now because if anything you put out in the future (not that there's any pressure at all to make more. You could just be a one-hit wonder and I would be delighted), then I want to be here for it! Whether it's even a quarter as good as this one, you've got heart and talent for where you want to go. You've got a great sense of vision, and storytelling. I want to see where it can go!

Gjwfgvehrgvf Apologies for the long ramble in response to the comment, I'm a big talker, most of my comments tend to be like analysis of techniques and all the stylistic things I liked. You didn't get as much of that because I was half-asleep, mainly ctrl+c'ing and my laptop was about to die as I posted the comment, but trust me, everything you did for the game, I noticed and I adored !! I usually tack on my bookmarking comments to my comments, but yours is mostly just that because you had so much content for me to talk about IN my bookmark.

Literally just, whatever it was that went into doing this? Keep doing that! Safely of course, don't overwork yourself! Keep yourself fed, watered and properly nutrionalised by the sun! 

The fact it took so long is a GOOD thing !! It means you put time, effort and care into your game and that SHOWS with how well-made it is. I may be repeating myself, but really, it's just my way of trying to bap away at the imposter syndrome through the screen rgvf3fr

Keep doing what you're doing. No matter how well-made, it clearly is worth doing.

SPOILERS AHEAD !!!!

(The indecipherable look of "Thanks for the new kitten I can train and love but like...unnecessary of you to die on me")

Ten More Endings To Go..........

(Got confused wondering where I could go from here and then remembered I hadn't tried leaving and returning yet so here I am doing that :D)

(Okay, I've gotten stuck, and I've taken to reading the descriptions of the Endings to see where I may be able to get the rest of them. I'm giggling at how Innocent the descriptions make it out to be, they're so right actually, it's so true everything they're saying. That is All That Happened :])
(Endings are top-tier, but I'm gonna have to go get that walkthrough,,, damn, was doing so well without it too :\)
(OH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE MB MB MB GOTCHA)
(sudden train !!!!)
(truck?? *GASPS* TRUCK-KUN ?????/ref)
Ending 16: "Poor Screening Arrangements"

(Demon kitty is VERY displeased....)

(I do have proof demon kitty *holds up my two kitties* these lil shits couldnt pull this stuff if they tried)

(And we now have an empty box again. . . peace. tranquility. relief.)

WOW that was a ride, wooo boi alright, okay, WOOO alright !! That took TWO whole battery sessions for my laptop :D
(it lasts like 2 and a half hours roughly... jesus,,,/pos

This game is SOOO much longer than you'd expect looking at the cover art and it is WORTH IT 

20/10 game honestly, I had a GREAT time if all my reactions didn't give such a strong indication !! Thank you for creating :D absolutely splendid, gods... 40 endings,,,

-SPOILERS AHEAD-

I love how dynamic this feels??? Like, the simple way you used the same or slightly altered art and split it up to draw attention to certain features??? Like, when Xael first enters we see his shoe! Like, that's so unique to this game, I've rarely seen it in any others to this extent??? Utterly beautiful, omg, absolutely LOVED it. 

I also adored the story you managed to tell with such few words, and how different those stories were depending on my word choices. I love simple ones like this because it just makes my heart MELT for certain ones and break in others. Utterly fantastic character writing as well.

Even though it's so short, you get such a solid feel for how both characters operate, even if Prin can be a little more flexible considering we control them. (Prin is such a pretty name ngl, absolutely love it)

CTRL+C'd from my bookmark for this game;

"Ending 1: "Rekindling" I was in my flirtatious era, I was letting this Xael worm his way back into Prin's good graces !!
Prin may not free him using his offer but,,, man, the horns and get-up are definitely attractive I'll agree with that (I say, as an aroace person)
Okay but srsly, silly /pos lil evil guy you know how it is

EEEE THE LITTLE ADDITIONAL DIALOGUE IF I DO A {FLIRT} AND THEN SAY I DOUBTED IF HE WOULDN'T HURT ME WHERE HE GOES "For a second there, I was worried you wouldn't help" LIKE ??? SIR OMG/pos

Ending 2: "Purgatory" Heheh I told him Prin didn't like his form and he was like "Would you take me back if I wasn't?" fvj4htgr and then I hit em with the ..maybe from Prin
Homie wanted that "yes", mans want that LOVE back bro giggling
He did not appreciate such an iffy answer, sorry broski, this is just what happens when you attack the city and cause mass property damage 😔✊

!!! EEEEE THE WAY HE GOT SO UPSET WHEN PRIN JUST SAID NO TO TAKING HIM BACK AS A HUMAN AND SAYING PRIN DIDNT COME TO FLIRT!!!
Awww baby misses that love so badlyyyy omg

Ending 3: "Moving On" THAT SWITCH-UP AS SOON AS HE STARTS IT OFF WITH "You sound bitter" OMFG OMFG AAAA /POSPOSPOS That's a big ol' change from the rest of the ending games !! Being so mean really did make him upset,,, OMG THAT "Get out by midnight" HE STILL CARES ABOUT US !! HE STILL CARES ABOUT PRIN !!!! GAH OMG

Idk if I'm just like,,, falling for his charms but homie really does seem to regret that one part of the deal, losing his lover. I don't think he has much remorse for attacking the world though, considering other elements. The offers to just run away together though like <33 Yes Xael I will run away with you, who cares for Prin (I do, sweetiebubs is having a rough time emotionally and I support them 100% in whether they side with Xael or ditch him, they're so right to do that, even if Xael never ever would have hurt THEM. Morals and boundaries do exist for a reason, and Xael also breached trust by pretending to be a normal lil human) let's go be eldritch deities that cause mass property damage and civilian death together !"

I loved the character design for this game so much too !! Like?? Gah /pos
Utterly stunning use of a cool colour palette, and the way his heart is literally MISSING from his chest like !! He's hollow inside !! It was a hollow victory,,,/pos
Wordplay my beloved

Omg I just LOVE the spark of pink compared to the cool blue tones for his eyes and earrings like <3 Omg /pos
Again it's just wonderful design wise,,,,,,, brb gonna go draw him actually

Here's him traditionally !! (took me 15-20 minutes gvfh one of my quicker ones honestly, probably helped I did black and white for him)
(Sorry it's so big btw, I... do not know how to downsize images in itch.io comments yet,,,)
He is judging you. Heavily.

I love how much character you can extrapolate from this short experience about Xael, and his relationship with Prin. You can pick up on the fact that Xael is determined, confident and a little sad from his dialogue and body language. He's got so much Charm to him that I could instantly see why Prin would have fallen for him originally, before all the "Actually I'm a deity beyond human comprehension and I'm gonna murk a bunch of people" was revealed. He's very in-tuned to what Prin likes, and whilst he may use that knowledge slightly manipulatively, with how he drops certain information, it's very clear he does genuinely love and care for Prin, or at least, who they were before. So much so that he wanted, wants even now actually, for Prin to also join him as a demonic entity. I love the detail that, no matter what, he still gives you the details about how he could escape the prison--with or without help--through the weaknesses in the barrier. That is, until you don't show ANY grounds to move or forgive him, then he tells you to just LEAVE by midnight like ??? Even when he knows Prin hates his guts, he Still tells them to get out of the danger zone then if there is no chance for Prin to be by his side during it? Uhm??/pos

He's so... contradictory. And yet complimentary. He makes sense, but he does things to the opposite of what he should for what he means. Makes sense though, he isn't human after all, he is a demonic entity, he doesn't abide by those same human morals. It's part of why my dude casually disses the fact that Prin is currently human, expressing it as a problem they can solve later where Prin expresses (indirectly) they'd go with him. He's very !!!! you know?? /pos

I love the subtle world-building, incorporating magic and the way that his hollow chest is where the Hero incapacitated him. Cool things like that !!! The term deicide too and him casually saying it's still not pleasant to go through is just >>> Splendid !!

I'm--The way the ending names are correlated to BOTH characters is also something unique to this game. Usually the names are linked to us, the players, experience, but this game also has it from Xael's POV too ! Or maybe that's just my interpretation... But in "Rekindling", Xael is also shown that Prin is still attracted to and wants to still love Xael, which you can see was actually a concern from Xael through certain dialogue patterns. They both confirmed and rekindled that loving flame between them. In "Moving On", seeing how distant Prin is and how very Not into Xael they seem, it serves as Prin's official I'm Done moment for their relationship, and thus triggers Xael's own Okay, We're Over response. "Purgatory" represents both of them being unsure where their relationship lies. Xael doesn't know how loyal Prin still is to him, and how much they're willing to do, but he's eager to try and win back their affection. Prin is struggling to identify themselves how much they still like Xael, and if they even should. Their relationship is in purgatory.

Maybe it works for both characters because the ending names aren't really about them, but the relationship as a whole. And thus, it inadvertently applies to both and I'm just rambling so much oh my stars, I apologise ahah

(Just replayed the game and unlocked the fricken "I still have feelings for you" dialogue--Just about lost my marbles at that omG....... The little blush on his cheeks dude,,,/pospospospsos
I feel like it was supposed to get that on normal playthrough but I did NOT and I am fgjgrvfy4frgv)

I just love everything about this game, honestly, thank you so much for creating it! I had an absolute blast playing and picking up on the lore available! Continue what you're doing Ekkoberry :D

Hope this big ol' comment serves as a great way to give that lovely experience back to you!

This, and part |, were amazing! Wonderfully done puzzle games, and I'm proud to admit I didn't need any help from the walkthrough! I will say though, I ended up running into a bit of a bug within the jar puzzle, and accidentally layered two of the jars on top of one another, making it nearly impossible for me to actually complete it, and thus, the game. I managed to pull through--deleting and reinstalling the game proving mighty handy--and finished the game! 

Fascinated by the lore and characters at play, it's so interesting. Thank you for creating, may you create many more :D

That was great, 12/10 experience, very solid game! Absolutely cracked me up getting that "You cheated, didn't you?" GAME OVER when I replayed the game and tried to open the knife container without playing the rest of it hfvy3gvf sorry Ian <3 Wanted to try 

That said, looking upon the rest of the comments,,, yall are sleeping on how pretty June is, like, that split dyed hair, her morals actually being intact, her slight chubbiness,,, absolute beauty. Dunno why yall going for IAN, like,,, he's kinda meh guys come on. He's BASIC /dra/j

Speaking of pretty character design,,, Quinn, June's friend, also has my heart. Like, their brown hair, their complexion, their heterochromia, their general attitude,,, so sensible and attractive idk,,, Again, seems to actually have their morals intact
. . . Maybe I'm just too lesbian to understand the Ian hype

As for the actual puzzles, I did them all FLAWLESSLY, only needed help with endings 2 and 3 :D Sorry, I'm a suspicious gal to the end ugdehwgvrf

Thank you for creating ! Interested to see what other games you have in store.

Just completed the whole game, WOAH !!! That was an amazing experience, but god bless the guide lmao--I know I would've struggled hard without that additional support. The Ending Guide also looks really pretty actually, like, pretty colours and the way it's ordered looks so nice <3

All those endings were amazing, I did have a bit of a disagreement with my save files doing it though lmao--I had to redo those damn question cutscenes and the book minigame so many times bcuz I kept messing up in my save files with what I wanted for them and my memory faltering with where I did what--But it was still a golden experience! 

Thank you for creating :D !!! I'll take a looksie at Midnight Train as the bonus content so kindly directed me towards :]

Omgees, this was so much fun! AA!! Thank you both so much for this, I had an absolute blast. I only had to get help for three endings, K6, K7 and K8 !! I got the other 5 all on my own lol
The game is so versatile and I love the different ways you can solve things :D !! Just an absolute gem of a game and now I'm gonna go poke around Paper Lily to see what it has in store.

Cheers <3

So I had an absolute BLAST playing around with this game. Dress up games are so fun, and I love all the little easter eggs in this one !! Just!! AAA !! /pos

A quality dress up game and it's with your characters !! ! god i love these guys so much
Anyway, here's all my dress ups that I played around with :}

I think she looks absolutely beautiful. She's on her way to give some flowers to graves !! Good for her, good for her. (I loved this design I dressed her in too much to put her in anything else jfv3rfu) (I will say though, the Reginald cameo took me OUT--Hello sir, what be your presence here for? /pos He's holding a flower too :heart:)

LAMBCHOP !!! MY BOY !!! IT'S MY LITTLE SERIAL MURDERER SHEEP WHO JUST WANTS TO BE THE VILLAIN TO STELLA'S SO CALLED HERO, AND DOESN'T LIKE HER BRAINWAHSING THE OTHER RESIDENTS !! IT'S HE !!!! I used the nicer one of him in this because it looked better photographically but the one where he's holding Stella's hand with his eyes half-closed ??? IM ???? Pls i love the designs so much you dont understand
Also, as you can see from these two already, I tend to pick a theme as I'm going through it and then Stick to that theme lol. This one had me lean into a more casual yet still deific vibe with Stella ?? Very fun, 10/10

Behold, my other Sweet No Death dress up !!

The dress looked SO REGAL !!! And so I just,,, ran with it. Made her cutesy, but she is most definitely a star like,,, look at her dude. LOOK AT HER. OMG

My good lad/lass/love Nova on their way to break some hearts whilst looking cutesy and pink-core. Gotta get the people's guards down !! Can't be looking too edgy and "will break your heart" on main, that breaks the cover frfr !! Seriously though, am picturing this now as what they wear to the gathering in preparation to break everybody's hearts and gain power. 

This is my beloved girliepop when they're at home, or alone. Just dressed to the Nines with their M.O of heartbreaker. No need to put on a smile when you're not planning to gaslight gatekeep girlboss manipulate mansplain manslaughter some folks. More casual wear that just resonates with Nova's very soul frfr

but yes omg !! This was so much fun !! A very nice wonderful little brain break of a game <3 Thank you for making it :]

Behold, my personal creations for this game. (I did not follow the "Make the enemy look scary" rule, they ended up quite cute,,,)

My flowers are based off of alliums :D bcuz why not

And a wizard's hat bcuz ofc

SPOILERS AHEAD !!!














So, I played this after playing "Here For Sweethearts" so I went in very biased towards the Reginald route and him as a person lmao--Here's my reactions after every ending (I placed them in my bookmark of this game bcuz MAN that was soooo good <3)

Bad End: See You In Mars (LOUD SOBBING)
Bad End: Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall... (BEFUVUR# AAAAAAA SOBBING)
Bad End: Not Quite The Cat (WHAT THE HELL REGGIE??? WHAT THE FUCK DUDE I PUT SO MUCH OF YOUR STUNTS UNDER THE RUG AND YOU--REGGIE???? sidenote, that pun is just MWAH like, Cat Got Your Tongue? NO FRICKEN REGGIE DOES HE'S CUTTING IT OFF--)
True Ending: COMPLETE (I DID IT BRO ?? I DONT KNOW HOW OR IF IT REALLY WAS MY CHOICES BUT BROFU#J F# FUCKIN OVIDIUS AND CROWVEN IS LIVING WITH US NOW WHEN I TELL YOU I MELTED--)
(used the walkthrough for this one) Good End: Fairest Weather Friends (REGINALD KIDNAPPED ME--AND THEN HE KILLED HIMSELF BRO?? BRO WTF OMFG NO STOP WHAT I HOW WHY aww Twyla waves at me,,, REGINALD WHAT)
Good End: I'll Be Waiting For Your Mail (BRO ??? REGGIE IS SUCH A SOBS i am still in denial despite three endings proving he's the Butcher existing lmao--But brroooo)
(also used walkthrough) Good End: Not So Far After All (BRO,,,, BRO,,,,, I KNEW I WAS GONNA MELT READING CROWVEN'S GOOD ENDING ROUTE BUT BRO I GOT TO SPEAK TO HIS MA AND PA WHICH ARE MARY'S UNCLE AND AUNT AND THEY VISITED HALINCITY AND EVERYONE IS OKAY--Minus Theo, RIP Theo you can't be saved in any Crowven route </3 BUT BRO I LOVE CROWVEN SO MUCH HE HE HE I I HIM BRO)

As you can see, I had quite the time playing through this game :3 It was a very fun way to spend the last couple of days, cycling through (I did use the skip feature cuz I am an impatient gal,,, (it does take from the emotional impact but </3 we fine we roll with it)) But gah !!! yes, definitely a 10/10 game, gods, absolutely STUNNING to play through. 
This is the only game that made me be in support of literal murderers lmao--In my defence, they are all killers, but like--They're my killers, ya know?

Ofc, Twyla is lowest on the list, but being friends with her results in a WAVE and that was so emotionally rewarding ngl--But yeah, she's definitely the one I'm the most IDGAF about you energy towards. And she does that to me right back in literally all the routes minus her good ending <3 We get a Smidge of it in the True Ending,,, but also she kidnapped me to keep Crowven in line so like,,, mk bestie noo--Not fun, not poggers

Then we have Reginald who I went in VERY biased towards, as previously stated, but still. He learnt Mary appreciated going to funerals and instead of being like "Ah, yes, that's a nice hobby to have. I'm glad you can find the joy in those scenarios." MANS REALLY JUMPED TO "Well if it makes you happy :D" AND BECAME A SERIAL KILLER LMAO??? Pls, he is SO deranged. I got genuinely creeped out in the Reginald Good Ending where we have a Mary POV and he's in our space, it provides a really great look into how utterly CREEPY he seems, getting in our space like that made me get genuine goosebumps. So uncomfortable/pos
That said, one of my favourite frames of the game came from him so--

It just speaks to me on a personal level you know. It just perfectly comes across as "ah shit i fucked upppp" energy and is just a perfect reactional image i love it so much

Now for the boy of the hour and my favourite little murderer guy !! Crowven :D !! I love him so much, I squish him like a marshmallow/pos He made me stim the most and his routes were the only ones to make me cry because FUCK the HUGS GOT ME GOOD--Every single hug from Crowven made my heart go JJEFVU#VEHEG cuz they all told so many stories--The hug from behind when he comes back to the house after Theo has been murdered?? GUTTED ME MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH--I gasped so loud and was Shooketh. He was so SAD !! And then the hug when they're on the bed and we start talking about mushy shit about getting all better I--I melted,,, And in his Good Ending and the True Ending--He's family, man, I love him and I I I Crowven my favourite frfr

Mary, ofc, the main gal of the hour with the pov we follow, she's so nice to play !! I think given the style, this one falls a little more short of giving her her true Fish Eyes look like from Here For Sweethearts, but I'm glad to have played that one prior to know more accurately what they were referencing :3 !! I felt so betrayed during the fight with Crowven sequence because the options didn't match her dialogue and I was like "BRO WHY ARE YOU GASLIGHTING ME LIKE THAT???" /pos ofc. it's a really nice depiction of a realistic fight and you could hear my heart shattering first playthrough seeing them go at each other like that :}

Shout-out to all our side-folks !! Such as Zapara, Theodore, Aunt & Uncle, Mum & Dad, Ovidius from the True Ending, Bookstore owner, Priest, Twyla's dad/uncle, etc., it's a diverse cast and I was so hyped throughout it :D !!!

I joked about the fact that Mary and Reginald swapped hair lengths for this game vs HFH lol, it was such a silly detail to me

Thank you for making this game :D !! Really enjoyed it, top tier experience truly, your whole game catalogue is truly very fun <3 Thank you for creating :3

You're welcome !! I'm glad you liked my art heheh :D !! Looking back, I made mans' hair so much more saturated, but hey, stylistic choices be fiiine ! <333

Spoilers ahead :D !!!












OMG !! Man, I love me my longer story ones, but something about these quick and simple ones just be hitting different man I dunno what to tell you <3 !! Very short and quick, but a 10/10 experience ya know

Noted down my endings for my bookmark of this game

1) Ending 1 "Reschedule Your Appointment": Leave the office at your first choice

3) Ending 2 "See You Next Time": Enter, stay still / knock his lights out, accept as new counsellor 

2) Ending 3 "Escaped Counselling": Enter, knock his lights out, refuse his help

4) Ending 4 "You Need More Counselling": Enter, stay still, refuse his help

I got it slightly outta order but it was very straightforward and straightforward games are majorly appreciated for brain breaks <3 !! I like my games quick and easy sometimes, y'know. 

I really like the dread and anxiousness apparent in MC's (who I named Riolle) behaviour. It adds that level of realism to it, like, the anxious checking to see if anyone is in the backseat, the overthinking while waiting at their seat, the preparation/rehearsing for what to say and fumbling as soon as that doesn't go to plan, the unease just in their every move !! It's so good :D !!

And Morgan. . . Well, he's certainly a Morgan, I'll give him that lmao. The reveal of the documents just being filled with photos of MC unaware is so unnerving, but so so good. He seems pretty kind and chill. . . Up until you put up a fight or you're anyone BUT mc. . . Rest In Peace former Counsellor, you'll be missed, I never got to see you homie, but, RIP. Killed by plastic bag u-u
Mans seems genuinely invested in MC's story, but he still has that unnerving quality to him, where you can just Tell something's Off in his mannerisms. I'm willing to bet if I was in the same room as him, I would back away immediately, his energy field must be Nasty to feel. 

Shoutout to the bruise colouring !! I don't get to see injuries ACTUALLY visile in games and MAN did it feel good to see him pop up in that next shot with discolouration in his cheek. I so proudly went "Hell yeah I got him good!" at a 2D drawing, I love playing games frfr lmao

That said. . .I saw other people with their poggers art for him, and, well. . .I just had to add to the table, man, I dunno what to tell you. It was mandatory at this point !! You play "Dr Morgan's Counselling Session", you draw Morgan.
So I drew him getting his face punched by MC
And collecting up his spilled photos :D
Close-up on those pictures bcuz I dud actually put effort into them lmao
We've got one of her in the park, one beside the street, with her hoodie on, curled up reading a book, waiting in the seating area of an office, at home sleeping, just out and about jogging, one of her eating icecream. Truly, he's got an impressive reservoir of content man.
(These took me three hours. . .I'm like "This'll be done super quick :D !! And then I sit down,,, and it's like,,, "well shoot where's references, colours, ideas--")

Anyway, if you didn't gather, I really enjoyed playing this quick game, thank you for making it <333

SPOILERS BELOW !!!








Omg, this was so fun!! I love multiple endings, and was very confused when I saw that there was only one save file and it was the automatic ones. That is, until I finished my first run, click 'start' and SURPRISE GUYS !!! IT'S A LOOP GAME !! I love those kind of games because it makes it so fun to get new endings. I got the first 5 very straightforward, and noted them down for my bookmark to add this to my collection lol
BTW, I named myself Riolle, my gf Toomy and my bestie Diana, why? Rikka had Diana vibes to me, I have just acquired the name Riolle for myself when playing games, and Toomy is my platonic husband lmao. I knew as soon as I met Toomy in game that she was a little screw loose, but hey, what can ya do.
Here's my notations for each ending lmao

Ending #1 "A Match Made In Hell": Done by selecting 'inspect doll further' (for direct ending anyway, you can also choose other options for deeper knowledge)
Ending #2 "I'll Support You": Don't reset, ask "Know any good movies?", select "yes", "I'll tell her"
Ending #3 "Lone Crane" : Continue not resetting, no choices shown this route
Ending #4 "999 More": Continue not resetting, no choices shown this route, however, POV switch !! 
Ending #5 "True End": Continue not resetting, oop MC real messed up now RIP
ENDING "Blossoming Memories": Inspect the right room in first playthrough for the photo, ask Diana about cherry blossom spots
ENDING "In Which Everything Is Normal": Don't tell Diana about your favourite genre to watch

Lion is my baby boy and I treasure him so much. I like the detail that by choosing to investigate more, we learn about bullying occurring, and that unlocks an extra cutscene on the rooftop where Lion gets to interact with Toomy's friend. That's what I love about games that utilise this "reset" but characters Remember gimick !! It's so neat.

Your character designs are so simple and so neat !! The character dynamics are just, peak. Everything is So Good !! I love the fact Lion knows and is crushing on Riolle because they comment gory details for their site to get past the no image filter. He wants a Friend and MAYBE smth more !! Bless him, I'd be besties with him if I could. He's a sweetheart. PLUS! Who doesn't like someone who can origami ??? Toomy, apparently. Girlie can't handle a guy having a crush and trying to ask the homie out because no one knows Toomy and Riolle are a Couple. See, guys, this is why communication is important--

First playthrough, I was like "ooo who dis" when getting to Lion's perspective, I was excited bcuz I love when POV switches happen. It just invigorates me ya know !! I love learning about new / side characters, and Lion was no exception !! Learning his name in the loop after his POV was so rewarding, dude, I was SO excited to learn his name. 

One of the lines that's gonna stick with me from now on, is when Lion says "Or do you still think what she did to me was a gift?" Like, DAMN, nail that right into my heart why dontcha. That whole final run was unnerving, with Riolle's silence with their cheshire grin we first saw in the first playthrough after Toomy admitted to the murder. It really adds to that building tension that smth is Wrong, that Riolle isn't okay. That was a building concept throughout the other playthroughs, with the detail changes like the eyebags, the internal dialogue discussing things Riolle shouldn't know, but that last runthrough just takes the cake for unnerving design. The way no one acts like anything is wrong, specifically Diana. Sharing her food with Riolle, and Lion being the one to finally crack and point out how Riolle hasn't MOVED at all, just going place-to-place, before settling back down and conceding to just. . .Make a paper crane with the colourful paper Diana grabbed.

This whole thing is such cool storytelling, and I'm so in love with it. Thank you for making this :D !! I really enjoyed the time I took to play through it. Have a splendid timezone <333

This is what comes up when I try to play the game after clicking the extract all and then the file application.I cannot give any form of critique because there is basically no game for me to play lol? Can see the effort was there considering the files dedicated to it.

{spoilers ahead}











This was an absolute delight of a game to play through !! I got all the endings (except for Chase and Callum's "good" endings) by myself without any help and GAH !!! That was so much fun !!! The character writing and the twist were all magnificent !!! Chase was the only one I felt absolutely gutted with his ending with. I did his neutral route after the obligatory "What if I stay home?" ending and OHVFYJ#HEVF HE'S MY ABBY I LOVE HIM OMFG--Chase is a sweetheart, if a little hot-headed and he's so sweet and he's living with his aunt and uncle because of familial issues and he's so SWEET !! Bro he plays sports and he likes watching the sun rise !! His confession was so sweet and GODS the BETRAYAL was so REAL with him in the "good" ending. GODS I FELT SO BAD !! His was the one to actually gut me, and his "good" ending was the one I got second !! 
I also can't help but wonder for Aunt Cindy and Uncle (forgot his name) after Chase goes missing like... Gods, imagine? The nephew they took in suddenly disappearing off the radar ? Devastating blow, I--HE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO TRY THE FOOD PROPERLY !!! Callum only does it once he's pretty much dead if you decide 'yes' and Adrian only drank the tea... Chase was the only one who ate Riolle's (which is what I named her/me) food and she--No, I'm still not over his death, he's my boi !! My precious charismatic if foul-mouthed !! He's got a charm to him! I didn't even realise he was one of the shorter stories lol, I love him so much.

I actually got Adrian's neutral and "good" (though, tbf, his good doesn't need quotations cuz man was living his best life to die by MC's hand like--Mans was so chill with it, it was kinda funny? Good for him, y'know.) The POV switch when I unlocked his good ending scared the crap out of me. I had to take a couple clicks to realise OMG IS THIS A POV SWITCH ??? And then he's like "And then she came in." and casually drops he stalks her. (I pieced it together easily with the TW and his demeanour throughout the dates) Honestly, slay for him to be into it. But like, damn dude, what a taste to have. . . RIP his band though lol, they're down a guitarist. I actually really liked the bandmates !! They seemed really chill and I just <3 them
You know what made me swoon for Adrian initially? THE CUP PUNS !!! I love puns so much and they took me OUT--I was cooing so loud at that, like, OMG??? It's so sillys and pos !! And then the red flags popped up and I lost interest but I can't deny he was very fun to play through <3 And as I said !! He was the only one I didn't need assistance to find the right options for :D !!!

Now... Callum... he didn't peak my interest as much as Chase, but that's because I'm just not into older men/DILF's LMAO. Which is fair, I'd say. I think he's a sweetheart and his wife, Hannah, sounded like a sweetheart. Bless her heart and may she rest in pieces--SORRY, peace :>
Phil is also an utter sweetheart, and I adore their little family. Callum is such a kind soul, even after Hannah's death. It broke my heart a little to read how people treated him in his single dad status, but gah, it's so real. Callum deserved better than Riolle, and Phil didn't deserve to lose his dad like that.
Also, yeah, not Riolle's smartest move to kill Callum like that. It's very easy to narrow down a suspect if Callum dropped Phil off at Phil's grandparents to meet with her before suddenly going :sparkles:MISSING:sparkles: like. Callum is NOT the type to suddenly abandon his son. He took care of him for 7 years, and never gave up, continuing to put on a brave face. Something HAD to tear him from Phil's side, and Phil knows it. 
Gods that final ending cutscene is just PERFECTION !! I kinda like the insinuation that Riolle (again, what I named my character) ends up going for all of them? Like, it's implied by her "Now to rinse and repeat <3" ending lines in each run, but it kinda confirms it for me for Phil to show up at her doorstep after you complete any of your third "good" endings!!  It's kinda like?? Really nice unintentional maybe storytelling to show that, even if we don't do it, after every run she takes out the other two, because she's a serial spice-collector. 

Now with the character stuff out of the way, HOLY CRAP ALL THE DESIGNS ARE SO GORGEOUS ??? I didn't realise there was an album until finishing the walkthrough and seeing it at the bottom. So whilst I was playing, I was saving at every Pretty Artwork I could (o7 to the text blocking some of it out) in the 9th page save slot. Bcuz I was just admiring the gorgeous colours, shading, designs and emotive faces. It was so beautiful !! The album was like an amazing bonus to me. I CAN SEE THE PRETTY PICTURES IN THEIR FULL GLORY !!! Amazing, 10/10, glorious. 

Seeing the BTS was amazing too, I love seeing the process of the way things get made, and I hope you guys are still Still friends. Cuz this game is so neat and absolutely made my day that much brighter !! I added it to my personal collection as soon as I was done. So SO good, so worth it.

Thank all you three for creating <333

This game was an absolute delight to play! Very simple in gameplay and the endings are easy to find! However, I did run into a bug. From logical deduction, the fourth ending should be Good Bad Good but when I tried that option, when it got to the end, the game said that my soldier informed the king (which he did not) and so I got the Ending 8, True Victory (GGG end). So, as instructed, there's a bug I found!

Still a wonderful game to play though, will come back another time <3
