Honestly,this game is good.Like very good.The atmosphere,the themes,the characters,the minigames and the story.They are great.I basically found out about you and this game through ManlyBadassHero and I was interested.I was also suprised when I found out that you did all the drawings.Now I could give some criticism but you've heard it I think a thousand times( -_- )XD but if it were something to bug me would be the misleading second route.Don't get me wrong,like I said the game is great but when you get into the second round it repeats the first minutes and they are a good chunk which kinda makes you think that you finished the game and it repeats on purpose like Undertale .Aside from that and the minigames's small issues I support this game and what you are doing. 8.5/10 keep it up,you are doing good and I'm looking forward to see your next projects.
P.S:I made this account just to leave this comment and follow the progress (and support you :)) so...besides DeviantART and this do you have a Twitter?Instagram?Youtube?...facebook??
Awww im so happy to hear such a nice comment about my game QuQ! I also saw his video and omg i couldnt believe it, im super happy that more people will learn about this game because of it, aaa >u<!
Yeah, i think i should at least change the description of the game to make it less confusing XD maybe it will help!
Awww really you made it for this? omg <3 Yeah, beside dA im also using Tumblr (just for RPG connected topics) and instagram (i have there everything lol XD but now i dont use it a lot so yeaaah XD). I was thinking about making a twitter for art and games connected, but im not sure yet :o generally i have the same nickname almost everywhere ^^
Well ok then.I will check those out as soon as I can.You can make a twitter if you want.Sure,you have an Instagram,Tumblr and anything else but (don't quote me on this if i'm wrong >_<)Twitter is a plece where you can easily say your thoughts and future plannings on the spot.Besides the "shadowbanning" controversy,you can use hashtags to kinda make a bigger fanbase and there are people who check out pages dedicated to video game distribution with potential.It's up to you,I will still support you.
Also,yea I made an account because I rarely use this website.It's not bad or anything,I just don't.Maybe in the future...
Aw, okay, thanks! I'll make it soon then *_*! I mean, i will start to use my super old account lol XD I was curious one day and did it to check out the site lol~
Aww okay, its a nice website, really useful for creators *_*!
I've seen ManlyBadassHero play this! ^-^ And from watching it, this game seems really promising! The only issue I have is the font for the text, it's hard to read most of the time.
Yeah, ive also seen that! Im super excited to hear his opinion and everything *o*! I hope you will enjoy it too!
And yeaaah, it wasnt the best choice :/ but it was so cutesy that i just picked it without thinking haha ^^" next time i have to think more about it, thank you!
Thank you! And this is much more of a nitpick from a fire alpaca user, but on the title screen the text used in "Dream of Gluttony" is anti aliased while everything else is not (pixel art style). It looks weird to me. (Look those up if you don't know what it means!)
yessss i know, but tbh it looked weirder for me when i made that font more in pixel style, so i decided to let it be xD as you see, im kinda nad with fonts, but ill mąkę sure to do better in the next game, so thank you for the advice! *-*
Cute, pink to something creepy, gory and macabre... and also did I already mention pink?
This game is so awesome! Tho the horror part is a lil' bit slow paced, it didn't harm its charm, instead it built the atmosphere. Unlike other horror rpg games where the horror begins as soon as you start playing the game, this one started so cute and wholesome where you can play harmless and unsuspecting mini-games and see Sissy be friendly to the other townspeople and vice versa. Since you are aware that this game is already a psychological horror game, you're guard is always up if ever something horrible will happen in between the mini games and Sissy's journey to the 'train station'.
*SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS*
"Welcome to Adulthood"
Spoken like a true poet~!
...Not until you reach the part where Sissy actually embrace the name "Passion Fruit" and begin to like staying in town. The end of the 1st act was an actual WTF moment for me. I thought that Sissy was the cannibal one that the her journey through the town was some sort of an illusion, and that she's going to eat Chili but it was Chili who ate her. It is also noteworthy how quick the transition is from something cute and harmless to something that can mess up your mind; "There's no fucking around"
I actually first thought that Dumpling might have been the one who is sane enough and is willingly to lead Sissy out of town and in at the 2nd act, I kind of presumed that Dumpling would have helped her but he was ready to chase and kill her with a wooden sign when Sissy made her escape from Butter and Bread's basement (Tho there are some other complain about the Dumpling chase scene, I really enjoyed that because it challenged my reflexes).
The reason why I immediately fell in love to this game is because of how Sissy slowly sink into her own insanity, both in the 1st and 2nd act. This also made me question myself and my thoughts about escapism. What Milk said to Sissy about it and Sissy's own thoughts really hit me.
As much as I fell in love to this game, I do have some minor criticisms. Like the worm chase scene. It was kind of useless to use the pesticide since you are too busy turning through corners. Also, it kind of annoyed me when I managed to make the worms to be stuck to the tombstone from constantly turning only for them to respawn right next to my ass (and that your turns need to be precise). There's also that cooking part. The dialogue should just pop-up when Sissy ain't moving or you could've added some dialogue where Sissy scolds herself (the player rather) when she does the wrong thing that is against her own instructions. To be honest, that part confused me like I was constantly pressing the spacebar just looking for the flour. That is all for this portion
I do have some questions like; why they took different types of food as their new personas? Who exactly is Chili? Who is that girl at the end? Why was Sissy in that forest? WHAT DOES KYRIE KNOWS?! Also... WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THAT ENDING?! A cliffhanger is okay, but two?! C'mon, you're killing me. Now I'm more confused than ever but that ain't a bad thing. (I'm sensing some kind of lore here!)
Before I end this LENGTHY review with spoilers, I just want to say that the music is so great, especially the bgm when you fight Chili. It's mf kick ass!
*END OF SPOILERS-END OF SPOILERS*
Overall, the graphics and art are well made, especially the CG illustrations which I really love. I already recommended this game to one of my friends. Sorry for a super duper lengthy review!Hoping for more amazing and great games from you in the future!
PS: Is it bad that ship Milk and Sissy... and so is Dumpling and Sissy? another PS: Since I've already finished this game, it's time for me to make tons and tons of fanart~
Omgggg, im so happy to read this kind of long review of my game >u<! Like really, i was smiling so much that someone took time to write it for me, aaaa <3
Im super happy you enjoyed the game! Also im really glad that you thought about things that Milk said and generally what happened to Sissy, I wanted to show how important it was ^^! And yeah, i know that i put there a lot of questions, anddd im going to answer some of them in my future games ^^! Ive done a pretty big universe, so i can make more and more games XD hope you will be interested in them as well ^^! <3
Also yeah lol, my friend also ships Sissy and Milk XD aaaaand i would be super happy to see fanarts of it QUQ!
Hope it's alright that I put this here since wasn't sure where to put this but with one if the last I guess mini games (unsure if it's the last one and don't want to spoiler) this error pops up. hope it's okay I put this here.
Awww thank you so much! I'm super happy to receive such a long and nice review! What's more, im really glad that you liked the game! Thankfuly i managed to show everything that i wanted through the atmosphere and characters ^^! I think I will update the gamę soon, especially description of mini games :o and maybe add difficulty level for second part, because some people werent able to pass some games. Also, the thing with waiter being annoying it was actually my plan xD i wanted to show player how Sissy felt, that even if she was trying so hard, no one around would appreciate her :o!
Hi! Im super happy you liked it! ^^ Of course you can upload the gameplay, ill be happy to see it! Also, the game has only 1 ending, but there are two paths (after you finish first path, it automaticaly takes you to the second one, so you dont have to worry about it! It might look like you play from the beggining one more time, but later its different!)
Send me a link to the video if you make a walkthrough! ^^
Your chase scenes are way too finnicky. I barely managed Dumpling's and cannot get past the worms. It's a shame because your concept is really interesting and the art is phenomenal but if you can't forgive a single missclick of a key (or the keyboard/game not responding appropriately) without getting a game over, it makes it nigh impossible to advance.
Either slowing down the enemies or at least shortening how long you have to run from them would help.
Also an overworld sprint function of some kind would be nice, especially when you're going through the same areas again (like leaving a character's house).
Other than that it's a very cool game! I love the contrast between the first and second playthroughs and the subtle but very obvious hints that something isn't right in the town.
Thank you for your opinion! Im really glad you like the game ^^! In the next version ill be sure to make worms game a little bit less difficult, because you arent the only one who struggles with it, soooo yeah XD Thank you for playing <3

hope it's okay I put this here.
Yeah, thanks for telling me! Can you describe what exactly were you doing when it appeared? Choosing some option, or just starting the last minigame?
Ah okay, i got it, thanks! I will make a new version soon, so just copy your saves there and it should work!

Hi <3
I'm done playing this game. I love it. can i upload gameplay to my channel youtube? and how many endings have? sorry for my bad english >-<
Greetings from Italy
Hi! Im super happy you liked it! ^^ Of course you can upload the gameplay, ill be happy to see it!

Send me a link to the video if you make a walkthrough! ^^
I really liked the story but some of the mini games were a little hard to understand.For example the one where Sissy cooks in the kitchen.
Oh, I see! Thank you for the feedback ^^ Maybe I should improve the instruction before mini game to make it less confusing?
yes that would be very helpful!
