Hey, I absolutely love your game. I'm not normally a huge fan of graphic novel games, but this one is just so incredibly interesting to me. I am so sorry that all this bullshit has been affecting you and your game too.
did your game get delisted, too?
Yep :')
super excited for where the story goes! I love the chacracters, and while i was a little put off at first, the story quickly gripped me!
Pls can someone kindly help me ;-; i tried to replay multiple times but i just CAN'T GET TENEBRIS BAD END where its suppose to be a 2nd choice "believe him", no matter how hard i tried n surely followed the guide for day 3 TvT what did i do wrong, guess i can never get my baby Tene huh :<
did you pick all the text options that make you seem crazy and love violence? you need to be super yandere yourself
My word, this is addicting, such a good game and gripping story. Already eager for more.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! IM IN IOVE!!!!!!!!
OMG. I LOVE TENEBRIS. This game is the diamond I was trying so hard to find!! Thank u, amazing creator, for exist and create this wonderful game!
I love this game but I don't like the new pictures of Keith and Tenebris, I think the old ones are better ：（
You have no idea how much I LOVEEE this game!! It's definitely gotta be one of my favorites! I think I've now played through all the routes that there is available and I loved them all. Though the ending that I'm MOST excited about is definitely the polyamorous ending because I love them both and I don't want to choose between them lmao.
Anyways, I'm super excited for the next updates and I will definitely have to replay this game multiple times in the meantime because I miss it already <33
why is my boy tenebris looks more like a twink now TT and i loved his posture but hes now standing straight as a stick TT
Smash
[Spoiler warning]
I got to the point where I saw Tenebris murder the creepy guy and immediately thought "damn, good job honey" but when I saw the only option was to call the police you bet your ass I BACKED OUT of there lmao 🥲 no going to check for me ig
I tried all the routes and replayed the entire game after the Date 5 update.
I've been following this game since a few years ago, and since then I've been checking back from time to time to see if there's any new news.
Your game is ABSOLUTELY great! I'm really looking forward to the next developments <333
[Date 5 Spoiler]
This game has massively improved since I last played it! I love the new visuals. There's so much to do in date 5. I felt so bad for Keith during Tenebris' route after learning that it was his birthday. Very curious about where this story will go.
loooved date 5 !!! they're both so cute and i did all the different routes ;) <33 lowkey scared about tenebris solo ending cuz why did he react like that <//3 cant wait for the next updae <33333
a bug, the sprites keep doing that
Yes! This is what I was mentioning. I was getting this exact thing during my run on the routes.
I'm not usually someone who writes comments nor was I sure where to exactly report bugs? However while I was playing I found the sprites have a tendency to overlap one another. Like for example; when talking with Keith during a scene if his sprite changes an emotion then the previous one will show up behind the new one. (Giving it the effect he has two sets of arms...) Same thing happened with a scene for Tenebris I noticed.
Thank you for reporting this! Could you please tell me when you've seen this happen?
I just replayed the whole thing to look into it, so sorry for the late reply. So apparently this bug doesn't seem to happen everytime I only was able to trigger it once after reopening the game tonight. There's an instance I found during the bad ending selfish with Keith it happened after playing the update, yet the only one I was able to trigger this time was the scene in the forest with Tenebris? I think those are really the only two scenes I remember seeing it happen, but those are just the ones that triggered for me personally.
Thank you!! I will look into it and get them fixed
is there a soundtrack for the game on spotify? or anywhere where i could listen to the music from the game? I absolutely love the music in this game and am gennuienly obssesed with everything about this game : , )
if you're on PC you can go to the game folder, audio and then music. All of the bgms are there!
edit: idk if it was a good idea to snoop around or if the creator is ok with it but it wasn't hidden at all, so....
Bug (?) report
The background seems to be showing in these spots
I found out it happens when the texts are too long
not everything is meant to be perfect but i thought it would be good to tell you
Thank you for pointing it out! I will see that it gets fixed!
i've been going insane trying to find a way to delete the save files so i can play the game anew, does anyone know how??
I'm afraid I can't help if you're playing on mobile.
But on PC, you will need to delete them from the Game / saves folder and also from C: / Users / (yourusername) / AppData / Roaming / RenPy / Duality
i see!! thank you<33!! currently stopped playing, im waiting for the guide to come out since i keep getting called filth and killed on night 4 🥀
The guide is out! It's linked in a post here
AH REALY??? I JUST SAW ITTT EHEH YAYYY
omg this was so good!!! keith and tenebris my beloved <3 date 5 was insane with the plot and nsfw scenes kdjdj help, so excited and curious to see what happens next! 💗
I need to comment again on how the game has improved. I didn't expect the game to change SO MUCH (both in art and in the story), honestly, I think it's much better now. The game has such a unique aesthetic and feel. And I love that the creator is always answering a lot of questions, giving much more depth to the characters!! I really want to praise how the characters have changed, and how creative the nsfw scenes are!! 😭😭
I also love how you can actually have a personality, pronouns, and can literally choose your private parts.😭
I will wait for the next update, with huge expectations. !!
I spent hours and hours freaking out over every second of the game! In the early hours of the morning, I sent a bunch of messages to my friend who is also a fan of this game.
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH, DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE VISUAL NOVEL 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉
(Sorry for the bad English 💔)
Both of them are honestly my type but I'm leaning more on the cutie with anger issues 😝
Yeees YEEEEEESSSS thank you SO MUCH for the update omgomgomg- (≧▽≦)
How I love Tenebris SM!!! AHHH my pookie baby :"3 I love his route <33333333 plss make more love this gameeee!
how on earth do yall survive day 4 and make it to day 5 for more polyamourous scenes omg, i've tried balancing out the affection so many times
I don't think the game has this polyamorous route yet.!
There is one poly scene in Date 5. You get it by letting Tenebris comfort you, then helping Keith cook
^Edit: Even with Tenebris' comfort-
All that's occurred is licking it off and then choosing if myself or Keith is assertive... a more detailed guide would be lovely, but until then I'll keep toying with it
I think only the SFW option (washing it off) has a poly route atm!
you're incredible
Oh if you're looking for a nsfw poly route, that doesn't exist yet.
I LOVE DATE 5, MY SWEET BOYS!!!!!!!!!
I still have so many questions that will hopefully be answered in the next date, which I will be eagerly awaiting. :)
OMFG THIS GAME IS AMAZING, IT WAS WORTH WAITING FOR A LONG TIME. YOU DID A GOOD JOB 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
whoa art change
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG DATE 5 WAS SO GOOOOOOOODDDDDD!!!!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT FOR MOOOOORRRREEEEE!!!!!!!! Tenebris, my love <3
Totally worth the wait! But sheesh Keith, what's with the red eyes? Hope we get an explanation on that next chapter.
the updated sprites... keith fr got me frothing at the mouth ESPECIALLYYYY with the nsfw scenes lord this man🤤🤤🤤
New update was great! One tiiiiny little thing though... would it be possible to adjust the opacity of the text box? It's a bit difficult for me to read. Or maybe an option to make the text a bit bigger? Just suggestions! :)
Tenebris and Keith are adorable and I will fight for them.
shift + a to make the text bigger, it opens up the accessibility settings :)
TYSM!!!!!! you're amazing and ily. i had no idea this was a thing. no more squinting at my screen desperately.
<3
OMG OMG OMG DATE 5 IS HERE! LETS TRY IT! ILL CHANGE THIS TEXT AFTER I FINISH IT
Moood!!
love love love!!!! i cannot wait for whats to come--i havent played through all of it and yet im absolutely encapsulated :) keith and tenebris the sillies oh how i love them
i <3 keith and tenebris,,, sweetie peas the both of them
i loved the game and cant wait for more! i just wish i got the secret endings for (date 3?) maybe idk
loved the characters, i hope there's a walkthrough in the future!
There is a guide for Date 3 here on the game page! Simply look at the files when you go to download.
oh okay! thanks, can't wait for date 5
dijanme por favor que hay traduccion al español
ı gotta be honest, ı didnt expect to enjoy it as much as ı did. ı serously cant wait for the end product!!!! Both Keith and Temebris is so cute and lovely!!!! one is a tsuntsun other is a cinnamonroll!!! ı love emmmmmmmmmmmmmm
k, let me correct myslef. they BOTH are cinnamonrolls
this is accurate mpd
edit: i see how you might think i'm talking about did it badly but i'm just saying the switch itself is kind of accurate. hope this clears things up. not talking about serial killers. and also i have no idea what i'm talking about.
This is not mpd, please don't label it as such. I don't want to encourage the stereotype that people with DID are secret serial killers
