This is probably a stupid question since its obvious, but after the true ending and going through that process, do they end up together?

i never made any official after ending, so it’s totally up to interpretation:)

Definitely one of my fav VNs

Hi everyone that sees this! I’ve gotten an influx of attention on this again (very silly) and just wanted to say thanks. Whether you’re new or visiting this again and for all your comments! This was my first ever project and I made this all in like 3-4 days on a whim of inspiration when I was 17 lol, appreciate all the love and plays though! I hope you all enjoy!!

I really liked this game specially the True End where Esme had the choice to get help.

Thanks so much for playing and sharing your play through ! <3

cute art!

Thank you so much !!!

Some of the stuff in this with how Esme acted was so accurate to someone I knew it kinda freaked me out, cool game!

I can't even get on the game, its like my computer just denies the game. This has been going on for about 30 minuets of me trying to figure out how to make it work again. Any tips?

i got all the ending yet i don't understand the secret one may someone tell me???

It's prob to late for this and you probably don't need it now but you have to go back to where you kiss her and another option appears from the other two.

you are right i found out but thank you for at least telling me

Cool game, i know its supposed to be creepy like horror likee bad, but before the bad things happened like the knife, i felt so close to her and it was nice to finally have a character i could relate to.. but not anymore since shes like insane and not just mentally ill lol

This wasn't a bad of a game! Admittedly the writing felt a bit odd but some parts of it were refreshing, I also love Esme in a way that she somehow is both self aware of her own issues yet delusional enough not to change anything. The visuals were quite unique and cute, great job!

Aw...The true end is kinda cute   :(

I think playing the game has taught everyone the greatest lesson you can have, if someone is stalking you and showing warning signs from the first message. Don’t invite them over, it will not end well for you. It really felt like I was on a knife edge making some of those choices, as soon as she was in the house it was a hostage situation I just could not realise it.

Loved the game, and it was fun playing for all of the endings.

god I wish that were me

This is really good for your first game, but I would recommend working on the writing. It was a bit unnatural. Not in the "She's overly obsessive-type" unnatural, but in a middle school creepypasta fanfic way. It has potential I don't think you tapped into. Would love to see it improved in upcoming projects. Overall 4/10. The art was pleasant on the eyes

Really Cool Game! 

The story feels a bit more fresh considering it uses a bit more of a modern theme. Instead of the usual Protag meets girl at school, at work, or whatever the niche is. He actually meets them online and makes the mistake of inviting over a Stanger to his house. It gave it a way more real feeling and had me With a consistent palm in my face from the protagonist's actions.

Also the Secret Ending alone earns 5 stars easily (Dw I won't spoil it in the review

)

are you planning porting this game to mobile devices?

just played this game for a stream! here's a link!
here are my thoughts!
genuinely had a great time. lovely visuals, great dialogue, and it dove deep into esme's thoughts! the gameplay time stated in the description is spot on, took about 50odd minutes to find all endings - even while reading all new text aloud.
the way everything is written is just as extravagant as esme is, and it fits. not sure if it's meant to be humorous, but the dry satire is much appreciated :) 

love this game :D

thank you so so much !! glad you enjoyed :D 

moral of the story: don't meet people from online

The music is really creepy now

NAH I WAS CORRECT- THE MUSIC WAS GETTING SLOWER!!!!

Got all endings wow she was so well written I love her character so much!! Id hate to spoil a single thing but anyone else who wants to try it Please do!!!
