Are you planning a sequel game with zero?
Loved this! I'm charmed
THIS IS HILARIOUS HELP
OOOOH MYYY....That's so fantastic!!!!!! TvT oohhh thanks for making this!!! >333 I'm really surprised that Xeno had conversation with ME(the player) and really love this background TvT It makes me feel real TvT (here we call it " Meta " and i really love it) Xeno isss actually a cute annoying jerk lol looking forward to your other games(like Duality, i also played that) and waiting to use immune! hehe >333
Excelente juego 10/10
Loved every second! It's nice having the saves to go back to, making it easier to explore different paths for different endings. Managed to get all the gallery unlockables but noticed one ending's art wasn't there, not sure if that was intentional or not but it doesn't impact the gameplay at all. Just a shame to not have it next to all the others I've collected. I saw another comment saying about the code word, and I had tried it in different situations but nothing seemed to happen. Maybe I haven't found the right scene or maybe that's a future update? Either way, 100% here for a sequel or similar. Your art style is AMAZING, by the way!
I was wondering about that too!
This was amazing, i really liked that little asshole. I really hope there will be a sequel or connected game where the code word is usable, this game really managed to open the opportunity for various ways of continuing it (or not)
Amazing job!!
Probably fully completed the game, it was nice! I want more of this annoying little cutie-patootie in the future. I did feel bad making him grovel, but at the same time, gotta get all the endings, right?
The fact that all endings really need you to free Xeno made me scream with the game for a while (wish strangle Xeno was a canon ending) but i liked, It worthed my time, after all. Made all the 12 endings with a smile in face.
I love this guy. I’ve played every single ending and still want more! Hopefully he’ll show up in another game at some point and remember that he had fun kissing me. ;)
please make available in browser
Not quite sure why I have 11 of the gallery photo thingies but I still do not have the option needed for the secret endings? help?
اللعبه احسها حلوه بس لو انك اضفتها الاندرويد لكني اقدر مجهودك
I think the game is nice, but if you add it to Android, I appreciate your effort
This was a lot of fun, really enjoyed going through this and getting all the endings. When I first downloaded the game I didn't expect any of the 4th wall breaking but it gave the story a very unique edge, every conversation and choice was fascinating to read through especially when I got to the secret endings. Zero has me intrigued and I'd like to see Xeno again. Definitely going to be keeping an eye out for future games, and keeping 'minune' saved for whenever that comes into play.
I got the 'A Favor' ending. Will the player be able to date him in the sequel?
I've gotten 11 CG's and all of the 10 endings but when I quit the game and launched it again, I couldn't find the hidden option :/
so i was playing this for a while but then i pressed end game and now when i try to launch the game, it doesn't open. it says 'running' but it's not actually running T^T i had 2 more gallery pictures to go... help please :<<
restarted and it worked again :> thx for this great game ^v^
OMGGGG this was so fun!! Really creative and such a nice experience. Would love to see more of this character and his like, story and the universe hes a part of.
god, this is an experience. the atmosphere is so eerie and mysterious. the story pulls you in and you want to know more and more. the idea of "You" talking through a puppet in game is such a cool idea. i'm curious if there will be a game with Zero eventually 🧐 he brought me into this world, i gotta talk to him lol!
Me and my friend purposely went on call with each other, I screenshared and we watched as I "strangled" him </33 THE ART THO-BFYEHNUSJCIXMKHNEJWSMXK
loved.
Love the game, but still don't know what to do withe the "minune" word
That will come in handy in another game
Great game but still confused about where to put the secret code
Quite a fun game, it was great to be able to broadcast the game for Spanish-speaking viewers! Xeno is certainly charming haha.
I think I got all the endings and 10/10! This was a beautiful game and I hope I see more from you
Curious :O
I dont get it, where do i need to input secret code?
Oh boy, I definitely need to talk about this! So to begin with, this game was teased with a tumblr blog where the character in the game interested with anonymous messages, talking about how he just needs people to play the game and free him. Already, I LOVE the way the game was marketed and advertised, that was an absolutely stupendous way to reel me in!
Then, the game itself dropped, and I absolutely adore it. While it's rather short and simple, I think the simplicity helps focus on the whole point of the game, which is Xeno needs the player's puppet to free him. He lets the player practically do anything to him for the sake of getting free, tossing his dignity out the window for one of the endings, which just shows how fucked the prison he's in has made him. He's so desperate to get free that he's willing to entertain a being that he can't actually interact with, one that was sent by someone who he doesn't even trust.
His desperation shows and it's what really makes the whole thing appealing for me.
The only criticism's I have are honestly that I wanted more! I would've loved to maybe get to know more about the prison complex and also the warden, and ugh don't get me started on how I desperately need to know every detail about the additional character mentioned in a few of the endings. While it's short, it's still effective and gets what I think was the main point of this game across! I look forward to seeing more of the universe NIghtmare has made and is willing to share with us here online!
🤍GREAT GAME!🖤
I really enjoyed this game! Keep up the good work <33The description for the games says there are 14 endings but i only see 13 in the video?
A beautiful surprise!! I was immediately intrigued and captured by the game. I really enjoyed the story, and I'm glad I did every ending (even the one that I was more reluctant to see aha). The music and the visuals perfectly add to the tone of the game! Almost didn't want to close the game...
I need more context from Xeno and the lore!<3
I loved the whole concept of this game.
THe gallery doesn't contain "he'll remember u"?
So totally 13 endings then?
how did u get that one? <3
Get all other 10 endings first, then restart, after 'dont ask him anything' & 'dont do it', there will be the forth button
i cant get the secret ending HELP i finished the game, quit, and started all over again but the secret option still isnt showing....
I love the concept! it was unexpected that he really talked to us. i loved every bit of it, seriously i was really amazing and you art! ahhh it was sooo interesting to play i really enjoyed it! and damn...Smash
Sooo 10/10 Would Simp again
This was such a fun experience and a cool concept! Xeno has such a cool design and your art is beautiful as ever <3
i loved getting all the endings, although still confused on what to use the word "minune" for
The author replied to another comment saying "That will come in handy in another game"
Here is my playthrough♪ I think I found just about everything!
Oh gosh, I always enjoy your videos. It's such a nice feeling to see my own games in them. Thank you for playing!
i cant get the secret "i want to know more about you" choice PLS HELP
a 4th wall breaking game, awesome
This was so much fun to play! I am super intrigued now, and can't wait to learn more about all this stuff happening! Xeno is so arrogantly adorable, and I want to be an annoying little human in his house♪ His design is absolutely gorgeous and I love how otherworldly he looks♥ It's even so cute to make him mad!
I love all the lore and how it was a challenge but not too difficult to find, I was worried about an actual hidden button I'd never find! I'm so ready to learn more about Zero and exactly what he is!
I Loved it! I loved it so much I had to make an account sooner than I planned just so I can let you know on this day at this hour that it was awesome! Lol but seriously it was great I loved every one of the endings and the art!
