OMGGGG I LOVE THIS GAME, WAITING FOR AN UPDATE!!! <333
god i love this SO MUCH!!! sooo looking forward to the full release- such a a good, tense atmosphere- especially with the bad end, the dread is soooo good. love it!
this game is really good, even in demo
I'm IN LOVE with the artstyle! it makes everything creepier, I love it!!!
BUT. WHEN I WAS DOING THE BAD END, I HEARD SOMETHING AT MY WINDOW. MY HEART ALMOST STOPPED-
ARE U SURE WITHER ISN'T GOING TO APPEAR TO KIDNAP ME?
Loved this game! Can't wait for what's in store!
But, don't push yourself either- take lots of breaks, remember to hydrate, eat something, and rest well. You deserve it!! <3
Is this ever gonna get the full update? :] I know it mentioned they'd release it in a week or 2 but its been a while! No rush though!! Just excited to play the rest of it :D
The creator is still working on it! There's been a lot of life events but he still wants to do a full update with additional revamps. c: (I know him, we're friends.)
Ohh thats good!! Tysm for letting me know and I hope things are going well for him! <3
I REALLY enjoyed the game! it has everything i like,a yandere crazy man,flowers,poetry and stuff! This is one of my favorite Visual Novels ever,i think the whole concept about flowers and plants is absolutely magnificent. I can´t wait for the full game,good job!
Really enjoyed the game! Do you post on any social media? Would love to see more of your art :3
Can't wait to see the full game!
Omoshiroi
Wither is really freaky. I do love the way you used poetry in the game.
ARE YOU AN AUTHOR BC OMG I LOVE HOW YOU EXECUTE THE DELIVERANCE OF THE VN'S SETTINGS, THE WORDS YOU USE IS JUST WOW IEPHJSOPFHOUSHDG
The art and build up is crazy good, i would love to see more of your work! ^^
Here is my playthrough! I hope you enjoy it! Despite how terrified I was I haven't been able to get ♥Wither♥ off my mind! Excellent game!
Amazing, this is so-- AMAZING! I absolutely love how the visual novel gives off such a tense silent horror vibes, and the way everything was set up was so beautiful. Especially with the dialogue. Wither's dialogue gives off such a poetic but disconnected feeling, everytime he speaks it's like he's reading a poem but the way he talks to MC with all the love but dutifully ignores or doesn't even see what's wrong showcases how absolutely horrific the circumstances are. The grim reality of how this yandere is a yandere that you can't even hope to beat!
The way MC was created is so realistic and pitiful, especially when you can see the reasoning and logic behind their moves and their actions are relatable given the situation they're in. But the way you draw Wither in those cg is absolutely terrifying, especially with the ending where Wither breaks into your house because holy shit, that was absolutely terrifying I don't even feel annoyed at MC being frozen to their spot, there literally are three ways to react to a situation: flight, fight, and freeze. And given how monstruous yet the human physical side just shows through would make anyone want to freeze.
The subtle and dramatic, horrorific way Wither was presented is just *chef's kiss* Excited to see the two last endings! And how MC will fare out because truly... No escape at all...
I tried to install but there is nothing showing next to install.
this game gives me fae vibes hard!
🤍GREAT GAME!🖤
Absolutely loved it! Can't wait to see more <3Oh my gosh this was so much fun to play! This is so beautifully written, you are a very classy writer, plus I have a weak spot for guys who know their poetry♥ (and Chlorokinesis users as well♥) And the art is gorgeous, I love Wither's little face and smile. I actually got kinda scared a few times too!!
This is great! A lot of these games can have some rougher writing/spelling/grammar but the writing in this is so polished and compelling! The MC has realistic reactions, Wither is so spooky and romantic at the same time, and the art is gorgeous! I can't wait to play the other endings :)
Just my personal opinion:
I kinda find it hard to read through the text if the "box" is kinda invisible especially long text.
But that is maybe just me ^^
It was a nice story either way
Thanks for that note! Next update will have opaque text boxes and a ramped up GUI. Im also planning on shortening the passages in the text box.
thanks for playing!
I'm glad to hear and thank you for creating the game ;D
I love Wither so much!!!! MC be trying to escape but if it was me I'd just be chilling there in the forest with him lmfao
Im so glad! The full story release will have a more positive leaning ending where the MC chooses to stay voluntarily, the date endings will be fairly dofferent since I was pressed for time
A pretty interesting character.
