I downloaded this through the horror tag and forgot about it for a few days until I opened it today , FORGETTING IT WAS A HORROR. I absolutely loved it, not knowing what I was getting into made it hit so much harder. Amazing game!!
heeey i haven't been able to play much of the game yet, but i found a game crashing bug. i'm not too rpg maker savy, but maybe it can be fixed. where can i report it?
when i first heard about this game, i was literally on vacation at a nice beach, and the premise was so intriguing that i was itching to go back home on my computer to play it.
now that i am home and sat down to play it, 100% i am OBSESSED with this game and its implications. upon playing it a second time, there are so many small yet important details that make the whole story so convincing and captivating, some for me were a little "blink and you'll miss it" moments when i realized later on.
hope to seeing & playing more of your work, homie :3 this is so good!!!
enjoyed this so much. wish i was smart enough to use different save files when prompted to save, now i gotta replay the whole thing to make different choices
hey guys i really like this game but im playing on mac and i am stuck in the bathroom at lee's house on saturday and i cant get out ive tried everything i dont know what im doing wrong or if i just have discovered a bug. anyone else with a mac computer please help me
I was really surprised by this. Didn't know anything going in. Thought the first half at the clinic was interesting, if a bit slow. It did a really good job of making me feel somewhat tense despite not much going on. Felt like the other patient could've seen more use, and it felt a bit odd for us to only see Angel at home twice.
The second half was really well executed. Don't want to spoil though.
It balanced the tone pretty well between drama and more lighthearted parts. Never felt mismatched.
It's generally pretty quiet, but when the music was present it was fitting.
Really liked the art, although the different line widths in some poses felt a bit weird to me (I think mostly when Angel & Lee were sitting in the office).
All in all, pretty good, a few flaws here and there but nothing too major.
Looking forward to seeing what you have down the pipeline!
this was really good, and even though i suspected something was off the game still surprised me, the way Lee at first seems awkward but sweet and then you have him peeking through the door to look at Angel oh boy that creeped me out, both endings were great and i LOVED the detail of how they fidget while talking to eachother and avoid eye contact, really good 10/10
The game left me amazed on a deep personal level. I found myself having mixed feelings about everything as i manage to feel identified in some aspects of the characterization of both Angel and Lee.
This has inspired me to make some sort of fanfic/adaptation(?) of the events of the game in Wattpad (In spanish because i don't have the brain to write in a different language).
But i have some questions that i would loved to be answered in order to capture the game's story in a better way.
...
*Spoiler warning, please don't read any further if not completed the game*
...
Mainly, what are the reasons that would lead to Angel's acceptance towards Lee in ending 2? Loneliness? Love?
And would you consider it the most posible ending for them both? like, establishing a deep relationship that would lead to a "Happy ever after" situation?
Or would it be just the beginning for a troubled future for Angel and Lee?
Again, i love everything about this game, and i hope that whatever i come up with is as good as the original product. Thank you for making such a piece of art as Clinical Trial is, really.
this was just. so good. I loved how real it felt. Character writing isnt always this good. You did a great job here. Angel is just like me too, seeing yourself perfectly represented in a character is surreal to see, even if its in a horror game.
I made an account just to say this. I normally never play indie games but I stumbled across your twitter and got intrigued. This is one of the most breathtaking experiences I've had with a game in a long time. This is genuinely beautiful. Thank you for making this.
I know the extra effort it takes to sign up for a new website in order to leave a comment is tedious, but positive feedback is really, really appreciated. It makes me feel like you're acknowledging the time that it took for me to create this by taking your time too. Thank you for playing!
This was really fun, music, art and game play were enjoyable. The writing was really good and it took me for a ride. Thank you for sharing/making the game.
just finished playing, really awesome game enjoyed it a ton <3 the characters are just so. realistic and believable is how i would word it, i adore the artstyle, music was great, real good atmosphere :-)
This was a really good game! Both endings are both really interesting outcomes that give us more intrigue for what happens after everything is said and done-- it also would've been cool if that cutscene that was animated on your twitter account was added into the game, i think it would add to the "shock" or smth like that :3
Agreed about the cutscene, especially given the transient and not-100%-publicly-accessible nature of Twitter. Might take a while, but if I can obtain original music, I intend to put it in the game. Thanks for playing!
Really enjoyed the game, finished it all in one sitting -the world always needs more queer toxic dependant romance! Great art and enjoyable characters, the romance felt so well developed and believable. It's great how much RPG maker has given opportunities for writers to experiment - its becoming one of my favourite genres.
I will say that I felt like the ADHD drug trial was a missed opportunity. While I loved how informative it was, I thought adding some experimental trippy side effects could have been super interesting.
Still, overall pretty minor take away from how much I enjoyed it. Looking forward to your future work!
Just wanted to say, I loved this so much!! I've only done one ending, I said yes both times
A bit of a strange question, but should I experience both endings? From an artists/'s intent point of view, do you expect/want players to go through both endings?
for some reason the game keeps having an error after the first bit of the game? like after the first apt and its the picture of angel in their bedroom i get an error with something saying about rename and preload? :((
i found out how to fix it!! idk if its the same for other computers but after i exit the game i get a pop up in winrar telling me something abt new files and to extract them and i press yes and the pop usually comes up another time and just press yes each time, when it dont come up just go back on the game, if the preload error comes back up just repeat, make sure to save ur game every now and then
I really enjoyed this game - me and my partner played through this game together. It really resonated with both of us - we went back and got all the endings.
the suspense and storytelling was great - things like seeing the art on the fridge really struck me -
im playing the game a second time for the next ending.. honestly even just in the beginning i had a weird feeling about lee but at the end, i love him, some scenes were almost making me cry, such a good game.
played the game twice!! i love the artwork and resonated with angel heavily, it’s been a very long time since I’ve connected so much with a game (likely around 2017 when night in the woods came out.) everything in the story is done insanely well and I found myself noticing more and more things in my second playthrough. Hope to see more about these characters i’ve grown really fond of them !
incredible art style! was taken by surprise multiple times and the game was engaging all the way through. i got ending 1 and can't possibly imagine how the other option went but i'd love to replay and find out! great work and i look forward to more of your work :3
Clinical Trial had a lot to love about it, the suspense was done great, the humor? Also great, the characters are endearing in their own ways and I'm a huge fan of all of them, they could all be relatable in different ways and I found Lee and Angels dynamic to be super captivating. Enjoyed seeing Angel and Lees art, not to mention the music / SFX were well made and very fitting for the game, they gave me chills at points. Hope to see more about these characters outside the game! Played this 3 times, will possibly play again to see anything I might've overlooked considering, like Angel, I also have ADHD haha
SOOOOO good, the art is so pretty and the music, the story, dialogue, is amazing!! i did not expect lee to be a creeper at all, i was really shocked. so good, 10/10<33
Would you ever release a gallery? Or is there any sites to follow peachy on? Angels art style is so cute and in character im crying and throwing up over it
Thank you so much for making such an amazing game! My friend and I were drawn to it after seeing the official art posted on X, and we decided to play together. We both absolutely loved it…So many things that happened to Angel and Lee really resonated with us especially for my friend who has ADHD.
The way the story is portrayed is so delicate and heartfelt. Even though it deals with trauma, the way it dissects those emotions feels warm and healing rather than heavy, which is incredibly moving. And the obsession dynamic? That just makes it even more interesting…I love this kind of fantasy.
I thought I was being thorough on my first playthrough, but now that I’ve started a second run, I keep noticing dialogues and details I somehow missed. Also, the character expressions are just so cute…such an incredible amount of work must have gone into them!Ican’t stop telling my friends about this game.I’d love to know where I can find more background and detailed character lore…

I love to hear that, honestly. Going in completely blind to something and finding out it's horror can be such a great experience. Thanks for playing!
heeey i haven't been able to play much of the game yet, but i found a game crashing bug. i'm not too rpg maker savy, but maybe it can be fixed. where can i report it?
Kinda reminds me of "I Know What You Need".
played thru this all in one go. this was crazy and so good.
when i first heard about this game, i was literally on vacation at a nice beach, and the premise was so intriguing that i was itching to go back home on my computer to play it.

Me too, I can't get out of the bathroom at that point, i really want to play the rest of the game TT

This is easily my favorite of the year so far, just simply incredible. The art, the music, the writing. Everything meshes so well. 11/10

this altered my opinion on shrimps
One of my favourite indie games ever- I just finished playing for second time and I love it so much. You did amazing job

I LOOOVED this game! and the ost was so good, is there a playlist on youtube where I can continue to listen to it?
Thank you for playing! Selected tracks from the OST have been uploaded as a playlist to YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMWYt2_HVh_ibGqHHqMSv6qlnAGqO5oug
Trying to save crashes the game.
To be clear, I mean when you save by going through the options menu, not when it prompts you to save.
SO good. I am so glad I’ve found your art again.
SOOOOO good, the art is so pretty and the music, the story, dialogue, is amazing!! i did not expect lee to be a creeper at all, i was really shocked. so good, 10/10<33
I love this game.
