PEAK!!!!!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!! absolutely love every little detail incorporated in their interactions and dialogue it feels so awwuwuwuauuauuuwwuwauu but 2 be honest the part where lee starts to show signs of liking angel i kinda predicted how everything goes BUT ANYWAY THIS IS REALLY COOL!!!!
oh my god. this game. i love the portrayals of neurodiversity and how that can affect people. the infodumping... the avoidance of eye contact... the bluntness... it's all so real.... also angel having ADD too omg my twin...
*** SPOLERS ???? ***
the inclusion of "i don't wanna be treated different because of it" from angel really, REALLY resonated with me, too. it seems to also reflect how people who don't "fit" into the normal standards of society (neurodivergents, non able-bodied people, or generally anyone seen as different/ coming from different backgrounds) feel and are most often treated. i like the representation here :3 thank you to everyone who contributed to this, u have my entire heart
both the endings give off different feelings of dread, but i think that's the point. both are understandable too i feel like. they're outcasts... somewhat, they're both lonely, and you can only do so much with what you can. the amount of little characterizations and foreshadowing in this game are so interesting to see. it's tense, it's awkward, it's impactful, and i love it
By the way, just so you know, the game runs just fine under WINE on Linux. If there had been any problems I bet you Proton would have dealt with them, but there were no issues with plain old regular old WINE. So that was neat.
"sudo wine Game.exe" on linux and i gave me this Error
[832:836:0315/210709.100:ERROR:dxva_video_decode_accelerator_win.cc(1372)] DXVAVDA fatal error: could not LoadLibra
ry: msmpeg2vdec.dll: Module not found. (0x7E)
so how did you install your wine?and which one?or should i just play on windows ?
now i am unsure what to do right now because i want to install it on linux to skip the hassel of switching time to time to windows just to play video games
I installed it from the WineHQ repo. I'm on Wine 10.0, running under Fedora Linux. I haven't had any problems with it this way, so no matter your distribution I would recommend getting wine from the official WineHQ repos rather than through your distribution's packages which may be outdated or broken. Let me know if it works, and if not I could help you troubleshoot it.
One day, I would love to know enough about body language to have made something like this. Both of these characters resemble me so much. That little thing Lee does where he has one arm out, index finger extended, the other arm clutching his side? I've never seen a character do that before, but I do that all the time. That's some seriously accurate portrayal of autism. Same with all Angel's various mannerisms.
Incorporating worldbuilding was done so so well. Like, showing when the game takes place with the model of phone and the DSM version? Revealing Lee's birth religion as smoothly as you did, while respecting the fact that he likely wouldn't say it out loud? This is some honest to god skill right here.
Very, very adorable and creepy game. Made my mind do horrible things to root for both of these lads, and yet I always did. Glad I didn't miss the bonus cutscene; it should probably actually play automatically TBH even if it was nice to discover after the fact. Impressively animated.
Before this, I didn't know I'd probably fall victim to a creepy sheltered gay dude if he liked me that much. Now I don't know what to do with that. Probably seek some kind of help, or maybe just get a boyfriend.
This game made me really sad. Seeing a queer person be completely rejected and abused by everyone around them, and their only chance at happiness being accepting the man that stole their jacket to masturbate with is depressing. If that was your intention, then great work!
was being serious, I thought this game was about how neurodivergent women often end up in abusive situations because of a lack of resources. If not then oopsie on my part I guess
This is probably my RPG maker GOTY. I went in blind knowing absolutely about this game and without saying too much. The first ending had one of the most shocking twists I've ever seen in a RPG maker horror game. I'm definitely looking forward to future titles from you. Anyway here is my live stream of the game. Sadly I only got one ending because it took longer than expected
OOo so I made an account just to express my thoughts.
This game was good. I appreciated the incorporation of mental health being discussed in terms of struggles people can encounter like Angel. She is very pitiful...the background discussing vaguely regarding her family life, her roommate situation, her job having great demands for her despite communicating how expendable the workers are, and finally- her loneliness that is pretty much inevitable with a life as hard as hers. It makes sense she would trust in Lee, especially when he offers financial support in the beginning to cover for her not going into work, while also showing concern to her situation- as this concern from anyone was a foreign feeling. It's heartbreaking how she has a lack of love in her life, and we see this again when she discusses **mild spoilers** how she would love to turn into an animal to have a set purpose in life essentially, when explaining why she adores drawing animals.
So that being said, Angel is very fleshed out and I really like that.
However, ***MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW***
Lee is your typical yandere as we see near the end, which is still cool seeing how this could play out. I mean, despite his flat demeanor overall in the story. I think something though that just bothered me was really believing Angel would (if you chose the good ending) fall in love with him. Now, she does have a very difficult life that is devoid of love, so perhaps what Lee can provide is still something very nice despite the circumstances. Regardless of the endings and overall who he is; he has always been respectful of her choices. He never forces anything on her, and even though he is batshit crazy for what he does in the end, he seems to love her genuinely. Even though he is the predictable insane stalker type. So...it seems thinking this way, Angel could fall for him genuinely. Both of them have in common that they have been treated poorly in life, be it by family, people around them (coworkers, roommates, overall societal expectations, ex. Lee being a gifted child that then struggled in college), and so this can also overall distort their expectations for love- or at least, be more willing even if it is disordered (the obvious acts of what Lee did). However, that still does not make it too likely, I feel more like there might have been a perception of a type of girl the creator may like- such as Angel - an artsy, cute, though oblivious and pitiful...perhaps even a loser (as much as I hate that word) girl, which partially inspired the game. She can be so easily taken advantage of given her weakness (physically such as her vital signs) and difficulty in life...Lee obviously has put her on a pedestal, as much as Angel does not believe herself to be special at all- though that may cater to her appeal. In that she is so lacking in love and attention that it is a man's duty to come in and save her, especially if he is also struggling mentally and physically in life like her. She is like him- yet also amazing and perfect to him. It can be icky to some people, but perhaps others who need love so much that they can accept horrific behavior(stalking, murder...) from someone who loves them, then that is a lovely fantasy.
Game is 7/10 personally. Feels professionally done, love the characters and art that is charming. The music is also great and fitting according to what is happening in the story. I enjoyed playing! The yandere trope is just a little tiresome for me. Also...we need more Adri??? Forgive me if I am wrong, but I do not know what she contributed to the story other than describing Lee's behavior from someone else's perspective other than Angel. She had great potential for something...make more content! You are extremely talented.
Considering how strongly I feel about this game, I thought I should leave a review for this game, in the hopes that it can motivate the creators in their other endeavours, and to make their day a little brighter. I've tried my best at trimming down my rambling as much as possible for readability, apologies for the text block.
The game was really something special. It's rare, and refreshing to find something this well-made, passionate, vulnerable, and impactful.
The writing of the characters, the artwork, the music and ambience, were all beautiful and fit incredibly well together to tell this story. I can't say enough how much I love all these pieces and how they work together.
In short, I loved this game and everything it did. It was an intense, emotional, impactful experience and it resonates pretty strongly with me as an autistic queer. I'm writing this as of finishing my second full playthrough with the new update. I very much love the Epilogue and Cutscene that were added.
If you, the creators, are reading this, I would like you to know that I think this is one of the best things I've read, and that I would be excited to see more art, fiction, games, or whatever other medium you all work with in the future. I have deeply appreciated this game and all the work your team has done on it.
Super cool game and im so inspired by how you told the story so clearly and concisely. I really love that at the start we only get to see the protags at weekly appointments.
holy fucking shit i love lee so much im fucking crazy over him i am so insanely obsessed with it im going to bite my arms off this game made me rabid this game made me autistic this game makes me require the shit they was testing bro i am in love with lee so desperately and angel is literally so real and i am also in love with them thank you mr. homie for absolute gaming peak
i'm traumatised, my friend d_densuke never stopped talking about this game, the last time i saw it, i was like "meh probably another itch io game" but then until i started shitting on it as a joke, d_densuke came up to me with a knife and started brutally stabbing me.
Have not been able to get my mind off this game, absolutely obsessed. Been wracking my mind over how to possibly write romance this compelling and affectively AAAHHHH I LOVE THIS GAME!!
I wanted to thank you for making this game. Many of the emotions it evoked in me were ones that other games have not done before. It was tense, but a very enjoyable experience. All of the elements from the art to the soundtrack to the grounded dialogue serve to make it something really great. If you ever intend to release this game on Steam or some other platform for money, I would happily buy it. No moment in this game felt like it was forced or for shock value. You have a very respectful way of covering otherwise difficult topics.
I hope you keep creating, whether that's through more games or some other medium. You have a unique perspective and convey it expertly. Thank you again for this great game.
I adore this game, there are so many little touches you have which just OOZE atmosphere and I’m so jealous. The pauses in text, the occasional bass-y sound effects, the tense vibes in the clinic that all these little bits amount to… everything feels deliberately chosen and/or constructed to add up to one massive vibe. I’m going to be referring to this as a case study for years.
**MINOR SPOILER** There might be a typo on Week 8 with the sentence, “I got your number from intake form.” I’m not 100% sure, I thought I noticed a missing “the” at the last second before advancing but it but I didn’t go back to check. Sorry in advance if I just imagined it, but figured I’d mention it just in case.
Homie, your an artist when it comes to both writing and drawing. this is a masterpiece in so many ways. plus, i haven't related this much to a character since i first played .flow. this was amazing, and id recommend it to anyone i know who likes rpgmaker games.
Gotta say I absolutely loved this little gem. This deserves to go on steam for like $5 it’s really well made and super cute and I absolutely love how Angel handles and speaks about her experience too. 10/10 this game will be stuck in my head for a while
this game,,,is beautiful. I rarely find time to play visual novels but I just had this sense to finish this one?? I saw a small part of one of the endings but didnt know what led up to it, I'm very glad I didnt watch a playthrough of it.
I see a lot of myself in Angel, or what I could be (a bit personal sorgy,,,) and a little bit of myself of Lee. ,,.,., angell and lee my beloved <333
i dunno im still trying to comprehend what i just saw, i had my pfp as angel somewhere but now i want it as Lee and I see that theres a lot of official (?) art on Twitter but not Bluesky. Kinda sad about that :[
7 star rated game (over 10/10 ) , i hope your team makes more things in the future
deadass every single interaction they had ESPECIALLY in the latter half of the game had me fangirling and screaming "ME AND WHO" i love these two so much, the twist did suprise me but honestly it didnt change a single thing about how I felt about Lee because those red flags looking very green rn.
In all seriousness, the themes of the game were very poignant, especially relating to neurodivergency to me. As someone with ADD i related to Angel a lot and their struggles with the medical system as a whole. The way Lee and Angel interact and act also felt very authentic to relationships ive had in my own life as someone whos ND. Also i just loved the detail of how Lee and Angel stim; lee with his hands, angel with their jacket string.
Also I have to say it again, i LOVE THESE TWO. Something I really love in fictional relationships is when theres a lot of room for characters to talk and build a connection. So many stories give characters zero buildup or moments that make me think "man these characters belong together" but theres so many interactions in this game. The dialogue feels so natural, so sweet, I was enjoying every minute of these two autistic bitches enjoying eachothers company. Genuinely i LOVE this game, and if you ever make anymore games or literally anything id love to see it.
Really incredible experience. Many things here deeply connected with a part of me that has had similar experiences with familial trauma and loneliness. I think I’ll remember this game for the rest of my life. Also I want to fuck Lee sloppy style.
This game just says and shows so much in such a short run time. In 2.5 hours you've shown a lot about: coming from an immigrant background, being a survivor, mental health, neuro divergency, and even queernes! It felt so tasteful and natural, it felt like seeing two people I've could've easily interacted with.
Thank you for this game Homie, I have tears from how gorgeous this experience was.
U should consider a Steam release, it could still be free on here, but me, and I'm sure others would love to buy the game! I think 5 to 10 dollars would be a good price. I feel like 5 dollars would get more people interested, but you could always do sales and those who want to could pay the full amount. Anyway, great game, came here from manlybadasshero, also if you do ever put it on steam, add a couple achievements pls.
hey so, my comment has spoilers!! keep reading only if u already played the game or don't care about spoilers.

I loved it. I already rated it 5 stars, but the thing is, there is something that I do not quite get, and that is; Why does Lee like Angel? That not being answered is something that does not sit quite right with me. Another thing is, not really complaining cause I loved the story and all, but, I would have enjoyed it more if we had more choices to make. We get little to no interaction with the story, so it feels more like reading a book than playing a game. Other than that, I could "complain" about Lee's sudden change at the end of the game, but that is almost the same as my first question. I would have liked if the ending were to be explored more, and especially when and how Lee developed feelings, because throughout the game, that is something practically unnoticeable. And then BOOM, we suddenly find out he is OBSESSED to... that point! Overall, I really liked it, and did NOT expect the ending at all. The characters have really well defined personalities and character traits that are mostly consistent, and this makes them more loveable and relatable. Cool game dude, got me hooked till the end! Can't wait to play another one made by you!! :)
To try and answer your question "Why does Lee like Angel?" I think, at least to me, Lee didn't really have a lot to live for. He stated how he longed to die, and didn't really have much of a purpose in life. Becoming someone who could help people may have staved off that desire to die temporarily, and when Angel opened up about their experiences, it sort of gave Lee a new purpose beyond helping a patient medically: getting rid of all of Angel's problems. Some of these include their co-worker, loneliness at home, and the costs of rent and transportation, all of these Lee helped Angel with, even if in his own twisted way.
His obsession for Angel is very subtle, like when Angel would leave the room and the screen would be left on Lee just .. staring, before it goes back to Angel. As well as that one scene where he peers at Angel before quickly shutting it before they had a chance to spot him! Although not directly explained in game, once you notice them you can kinda correlate them right back to Lee's infatuation for Angel!

this game is pretty cool. angel was very relatable. 7/10 cuz I wish there were more endings
PEAK!!!!!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!! absolutely love every little detail incorporated in their interactions and dialogue it feels so awwuwuwuauuauuuwwuwauu but 2 be honest the part where lee starts to show signs of liking angel i kinda predicted how everything goes BUT ANYWAY THIS IS REALLY COOL!!!!
oh my god. this game. i love the portrayals of neurodiversity and how that can affect people. the infodumping... the avoidance of eye contact... the bluntness... it's all so real.... also angel having ADD too omg my twin...
*** SPOLERS ???? ***

By the way, just so you know, the game runs just fine under WINE on Linux. If there had been any problems I bet you Proton would have dealt with them, but there were no issues with plain old regular old WINE. So that was neat.
How, it didn't work for me when i did
"sudo wine Game.exe" on linux and i gave me this Error

It worked, i just purged everything wine related with help of this thread
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=394972
and then installed everything with the official wiki of winehq
https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Debian-Ubuntu
and Thanks for your help.
im in love w these two
I love the game but I'm unable to access the pictures in the files for redraws :(?
Here is a link to the DropBox folder that contains every image in the game organized (slightly) better than the game files.
One day, I would love to know enough about body language to have made something like this. Both of these characters resemble me so much. That little thing Lee does where he has one arm out, index finger extended, the other arm clutching his side? I've never seen a character do that before, but I do that all the time. That's some seriously accurate portrayal of autism. Same with all Angel's various mannerisms.
Incorporating worldbuilding was done so so well. Like, showing when the game takes place with the model of phone and the DSM version? Revealing Lee's birth religion as smoothly as you did, while respecting the fact that he likely wouldn't say it out loud? This is some honest to god skill right here.
Very, very adorable and creepy game. Made my mind do horrible things to root for both of these lads, and yet I always did. Glad I didn't miss the bonus cutscene; it should probably actually play automatically TBH even if it was nice to discover after the fact. Impressively animated.
Before this, I didn't know I'd probably fall victim to a creepy sheltered gay dude if he liked me that much. Now I don't know what to do with that. Probably seek some kind of help, or maybe just get a boyfriend.
(SPOILERS)
This game made me really sad. Seeing a queer person be completely rejected and abused by everyone around them, and their only chance at happiness being accepting the man that stole their jacket to masturbate with is depressing. If that was your intention, then great work!
lazy ragebait
was being serious, I thought this game was about how neurodivergent women often end up in abusive situations because of a lack of resources. If not then oopsie on my part I guess
angel's not a woman
oh I honestly didn't know that, my bad
edited my original post to not misgender, thanks for letting me know
This is probably my RPG maker GOTY. I went in blind knowing absolutely about this game and without saying too much.

This game just says and shows so much in such a short run time. In 2.5 hours you've shown a lot about: coming from an immigrant background, being a survivor, mental health, neuro divergency, and even queernes! It felt so tasteful and natural, it felt like seeing two people I've could've easily interacted with.
Thank you for this game Homie, I have tears from how gorgeous this experience was.
U should consider a Steam release, it could still be free on here, but me, and I'm sure others would love to buy the game! I think 5 to 10 dollars would be a good price. I feel like 5 dollars would get more people interested, but you could always do sales and those who want to could pay the full amount. Anyway, great game, came here from manlybadasshero, also if you do ever put it on steam, add a couple achievements pls.
hey so, my comment has spoilers!! keep reading only if u already played the game or don't care about spoilers.

I loved it. I already rated it 5 stars, but the thing is, there is something that I do not quite get, and that is; Why does Lee like Angel? That not being answered is something that does not sit quite right with me. Another thing is, not really complaining cause I loved the story and all, but, I would have enjoyed it more if we had more choices to make. We get little to no interaction with the story, so it feels more like reading a book than playing a game. Other than that, I could "complain" about Lee's sudden change at the end of the game, but that is almost the same as my first question. I would have liked if the ending were to be explored more, and especially when and how Lee developed feelings, because throughout the game, that is something practically unnoticeable. And then BOOM, we suddenly find out he is OBSESSED to... that point! Overall, I really liked it, and did NOT expect the ending at all. The characters have really well defined personalities and character traits that are mostly consistent, and this makes them more loveable and relatable. Cool game dude, got me hooked till the end! Can't wait to play another one made by you!! :)
To try and answer your question "Why does Lee like Angel?" I think, at least to me, Lee didn't really have a lot to live for. He stated how he longed to die, and didn't really have much of a purpose in life. Becoming someone who could help people may have staved off that desire to die temporarily, and when Angel opened up about their experiences, it sort of gave Lee a new purpose beyond helping a patient medically: getting rid of all of Angel's problems. Some of these include their co-worker, loneliness at home, and the costs of rent and transportation, all of these Lee helped Angel with, even if in his own twisted way.
His obsession for Angel is very subtle, like when Angel would leave the room and the screen would be left on Lee just .. staring, before it goes back to Angel. As well as that one scene where he peers at Angel before quickly shutting it before they had a chance to spot him! Although not directly explained in game, once you notice them you can kinda correlate them right back to Lee's infatuation for Angel!
thank you for this game, it was beautiful homie
