Oh my god I LOVE THIS!! The amount of psychological horror is bone chilling, I was really immersed in Yulian's POV!! Also the art is so pretty oml the amount of time you must've spent on drawing each scene.... LOVE THIS SM!! Looking forward to the continuation ><
Also, i'm very curious but will the girl (daughter of Blanche) have a name? Or will she stay anonymous?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! yeah drawing everything isn't easy and very time consuming, but I feel like it'll be worth it <(＿ ＿)> and our girl's name will be topic of the next chapters!!
i love you pls update x
Bro this is underrated asf, please continue making it!!!
THIS IS AMAZING (im crying while typing this)

AAAAA THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING GAME!! I can’t wait for the full game!! I really like the psychological aspect of this game and how the characters are written! I even made an edit of it after I finished playing it with my friend!

THIS IS SO CUTE OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH <33
OMG YOURE SO WELCOME AAAAAA YOURE AMAZING!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!😸😸
THIS IS AMAZINGG IM IMMEDIATELY HOOK!! At first i was so confused about what's happening and keep playing it. The prologue is devastating. When im slowly having an idea what's actually happening, im on the edge of my seat the whole time!
And then the ending, jaw dropped, then i quickly went back here to read the description "things take unexpected turns and he finds himself with a strange but deep connection to exactly the girl that he planned to kill." I WAS LIKE "OHMYGOD"
The art is so goood too and the effects aahhh it's been a while since i felt so excited towards a game. IM DEFINETLY GOING TO WAITTTT FOR NEXT CHAPTERSS I LOVEE YOYUUUU
The pacing of this game was amazing, it was able to make me literally CRY!!! I fell in love with the characters, and grew so attached to them in such a short amount of time. The creepy descriptions of how yul was feeling took me away, and its crazy how this demo is free!! I look forward to the future of the game AND IM SO HAPPY YOU MADE THIS CUZ WOWOWOWOW THE ART IS AMAZINNGGGG :3 FULL GAME WHEN!!
The artwork is beautiful and the writing combined with the camera & text effects just makes experiencing chapter 0 absolutely visceral. I was so preoccupied with reading that I didn't even noticed that it was 12 pm, there was so much content. I scrolled down the comments and saw that you were the author of Paper Cuts. I "slept" and then immediately went to my phone to read the entirety of it. And when I woke up, the first thing I did was continue the damn visual novel. THAT'S HOW GOOD IT WAS!
-SPOILERS-
The scenes where Yul was screaming along with the shaking? While I was going through the text, I swear I could heard him scream in my ears. Also the use of light and dark when Yul was covered in blood while Blanche had light surrounding her? Just a spectacular scene. Yul's feelings were described very well, your writing really drives home his 'descent' to madness (< see what I did there tehe). I felt like the slight "complaint" if you can call it that when I was reading Paper Cuts regarding Eliot and May and their backstories was answered in this demo. Yul really scratched the itch. Your choice of medium really enhanced the experience and dialed all of the charms of this story to a 10.
You're a fantastic chef that turned madness, love and hurt into a heart wrenching appetizer and served it. I had a taste and I can't wait for more. (although this demo was excellent by itself as well!)
los dibujos son hermosos, todo esta tremendo
The drawings are beautiful, the story is spectacular, everything is very good.
throughout the game I was like this: 0 and then I was like WHATTTT IS HAPPENING, what a wonderful game, mrca esto esta buenisimo. joder revivieron las novelas visuales
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING IT!! Thank you for the feedback, I will definitly incooperate another splash screen with warnings before the game starts! I kind of forgot abt it bc I didn't expect anyone to actually put the gameplay on youtube lol
The next chapters are eagerly worked on !! <3
Hey no worries personally I would prefer you to not think about things like youtube LOL. I just wanted to make sure you understood why I cut it. I think for a story like this you gotta be fully committed and unfiltered for it to work well so best of luck!
Heyy, I HAVE to ask! So, are you the author of Paper Cuts? I'm a fan and read the webtoon about 3 times a few years back, and while playing this, I felt the art style was oddly familiar; it was on the tip of my tongue! Until the scene where Yul was screaming with his jaw wide open, did I finally realize and recall Elliot 0-0? Anyhow, I LOVED this, so so so much! Tears streamed down my cheeks throughout it while I imagined being Yul and considered his emotions and how he must feel.
Your art style is very remarkable, and I stopped between frames every little while to stare at the screen for a few moments before moving on; it's a habit of mine. I can't believe I stumbled upon this, though. seriously, very surprising, although a pleasant one.
YES I AM!! lol i didn't think someone would recognize me from my artstyle lol thank you so much for your continious support!! I'm so glad you appreciate it <333
wowow gotta check the webtoon out omg
You definitely should if you particularly enjoyed this VN; it has a very similar vibe. And fun fact: I started writing letters for fun bec of it!
This prologue was just amazing. I can't wait to see how the story progresses!
That's the craziest stuff I've read recently. You did a great job, I was honestly impressed. Hope you'll take your time and make the new chapters as good as the prologue.
OMG!!! THIS WAS SO SOSOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE REST OF THE GAME TO COME OUT!!!!
INSANE?????? THAT'S LITERALLY THE PEAK OF VISUAL NOVEL RIGHT THERE!!!?!! HOLY. SHIT. ALSO YOUR ART! IT'S SO CAPTIVATING!????! MY PERSONAL FAVE IS THE FIRST SCENE OF THE TWINS TRAVERSING THE WINTER WOODS(?) VERY WEBTOON-ESQUE I LOVE IT SM HNGGG. THE DEMO COVERS UP A LOT ABOUT THE PLOT YOU REALLY DIDN'T WASTE A SINGLE SECOND TO DEVOUR. YOU SHOWED US THE CORE OF HELL'S TRAP LORE, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS TIME IT'S NOT JUST THE STEREOTYPICAL BLIND OBSESSION ABT MC,,,, IT'S ALSO ABT PRIMITIVE SADISTIC RESENTMENT TAKING ITS SWEET TIME TO ERUPT & OH MY GOD YOU'RE JUS SO GOOD IDK WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE JUS WANNA PRAISE U SO BAD I'M GONNA CRY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING US WITNESS YOUR WORK TT (PS. I'M ABT TO LET MYSELF GET KILLED IF OUR ROLE IS MS. BLANCHE'S CHILD ISTG TT JUS HOW TRAGIC IS THIS FATE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Ugh, I just started playing this yesterday, and it was amazing! The art, the characters' characteristics, especially the storyline?! It made me cry.
