Are you by any chance the same person that made the manhwa Paper cuts on Webtoon? Because you have basically the same art style. If so then, your an awesome story teller and you make good content.
Is it normal for me to cry and wish blanche would be my mom?
(without the R@pe part)
because I feel like I'd rather want that love than the one im recieving rn
if you can even call it love ;v;
ANYWAYS ENOUGH ABOUT ME LET'S MOVE ON TO THE GAME
ABSOLOUTE 10/10 THE TRAUMA THE MUSIC THE NON- STEREOTYPICAL REPRESENTATION THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK and the ART OMGGGGGG I LUVV IT AHHH!!! Can't wait for more about this game i certinally believe this is heading in a good direction you litterally get so invested!!! I REALLY CAN'T GET ENOUGH !!!!!
Hey there! I'm a big fan of your work and as a representetive of both russian VN dev community and a VN admirer myself, I would really love to help you with the localisation. No payment whatsoever, I just really want to bring this game to a bigger audience that it deserves, and visual novels are known to be most popular in Japan and Russia sooo.... :3
Anyway, if you would like me to help you with a high-quality translation, just contact me via discord (dobroslav_kiselev) or telegram <3<3<3
I really don't know how to feel about this, this was unlike anything I've read!!!! But seriously, the art, the disgustingly accurate portrayal of sa, the trauma the Yul went through, just- no words. I'm excited to see what direction this vn goes in and even if I'm not a great fan of romance in general(like the overused cliche tropes, but this definitely isn't one), I feel like I want to read this further and continue to support it, if only for the horror.
One criticism I have is that the sister's suicide felt kind of abrupt. While it is possible for someone to end their shortly life after a single traumatic event, what seems more likely is there would be other factors at play. If the teacher had some sort of blackmail over her, maybe a photograph or video taken during the assault, then the victim would feel much more trapped and likely to take drastic measures. Another option would be if the sister was shown to struggle with depression prior to the assault, maybe due to the loss of her mother and unfortunate life circumstance, then it would make sense for it to be the final push.
This game is awesome, the story and everything touched me. To the point I started crying a lot LMFAO, but thats how much I got emotional when his sister died. I can't wait for the rest of the game to release, keep it up! <3
holy fuck i regret not actually paying attention to warnings all that much cus that shit was FUCKING HEAVY! The dread throughout the whole prologue until *crack*, and in some sick way its all gone, things can get worse, but just how much anymore?
And then it plays that god forsaken sound effect at the end and i feel terrible that the only reason i didnt break down into giggles is because it's 3:30AM
THIS IS INSANE OMFG IM OBSESSED. a story w/ tragic/angsty plot n gorgeous art style? sign me tf uppp!! yul is my babygirl, he deserves the world. on behalf of everyone here, pls pls pls make more chapters!!
OMGG IM BACK AND DONE PLAYING THE TWO CHAPTERS! Im literally on the edge of my seat the entire time since i really can't predict what's going to happen! And amazing two chapters, i keep saying this and i will keep saying it 'the art is phenomenal' and im inlove with the phasing of the story! Thank you so much!!
I will not be singing you praises in this one...cuz everyone else has been doing it perfectly for me lol.
I feel like this is one of the more refreshing VNs I've seen on itch.io in a while. The writing, the artstyle, even the text effects. And as someone who dislikes text effects in my VNs/IFs, this is something.

~ SPOILERSSSSS ~
Also it's kinda...refreshing? unique? interesting? to have a female predator as the villain for once. And on another female too. And it's played for actual HORROR and not...something else.
I'll be real with you, I actually thought that it was a male teacher or classmate who abused the sister (vomiting cuz she's got pregnant), and then the reveal of MISS Blanche to be her abuser made me go from "oh shit" to "OH SHIIIIIITTTT".
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 ><
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!!
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 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!)
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
Actually such a dark tragic story, it made so many people in my chat freak out. I was really invested in it tho, you did such a good job with the art and the story! I wouldn't mind a harsher warning before playing but honestly for youtube I cut out the WORST bits just cuz youtube can be very fickle about this sort of stuff. Anyways Can't wait for ch.1 and 2 wish the best of luck!
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
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
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.
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)
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS LENGTHY COMMENT!! （；´д｀）ゞ I'm so glad you like it this much !! Honestly comments like these always motivate me to keep at it (┬┬﹏┬┬) Thank you so much for all the support!! <333

traumatized in a good way <3
:,D you're welcome
why he done killed little meow meow man. he should have just killed the teacher
(spoilers)

This game is awesome, the story and everything touched me. To the point I started crying a lot LMFAO, but thats how much I got emotional when his sister died. I can't wait for the rest of the game to release, keep it up! <3
His hair sorta reminds me of Kaneki in Tokyo Ghoul, like he used to be kind when he had black hair, and then when he got white hair, he was going cray
At first I read "he was going gay" and I was like yeah fair enough
marikatti, this is the second time you kill someone's sibling😭😭😭
I DON'T KNOW WHY I KEEP KILLING FAMILY MEMBERS (っ °Д °;)っ I'M SORRY
holy fuck i regret not actually paying attention to warnings all that much cus that shit was FUCKING HEAVY! The dread throughout the whole prologue until *crack*, and in some sick way its all gone, things can get worse, but just how much anymore?
And then it plays that god forsaken sound effect at the end and i feel terrible that the only reason i didnt break down into giggles is because it's 3:30AM
