Que gatilho me deu esse jogo. Esse jogo mostra como um relacionamento abusivo é na prática. Como um parceiro pode nos manipular e sugar o restante de sua consciência e nos tornar vulneráveis a ponto de pensarmos que n somos nd sem eles. Se uma pessoa faz isso com vc, termine imediatamente antes que seja tarde demais. Nota 10 pra esse jogo!

just wanna say hi to the game devs

Una pregunta, no está en español? 😞

the generational cycle in the game is just so painfully real and relatable, well written!!

THIS IS SUCH A PHENOMENALLY REALISTIC GAME. I'm still literally holding back tears hahahah this was such a hard playthrough to sit throughhh

Ending 3 was a different level of grief. I needed to take a LOT of breaths in-between each ending before the true ending because honestly... this was the most mentally disturbing thing I've put myself through TvT

But this is also really helpful for awareness, so tysm to the whole team for making it possible!! 

The fact that it is ALWAYS easier to watch it from someone else's POV than seeing it happen to yourself, the sheer struggle in overcoming the cycle and breaking through it... words aren't enough to describe how much of an emotionally, mentally, physically taxing challenge it is. And the game made me seriously empathize with that (which wasn't hard to do bcuz the voice acting made it super personal and realistic ahahah)

All I can say is the true ending was worth every time my chest tightened up from witnessing the endless cycle of abuse. The twin-to-twin communication that everybody needed (because EVERYONE equally needed that kinda therapeutic healing) also healed the emotional damages I've gotten - especially seeing what happened to each of them, after. Those glimpses just gave the closure that was needed. This was the best, soul-wrenchingly realistic gameplay and I have not a single regret deciding to play this to the end :,,>

no tengo palabras para describir como este juego me ha hecho sentir... admito que al inicio no me interesa tanto, es decir SI pero, cuando empezo a llegar al punto en el que hubo manipulación de por medio de cierta manera me empezo a afectar, no tan fuertemente por suerte, pero si me dejo pensando. Cuando llegue al ultimo final quede en lagrimas totales... Honestamente entiendo mucho lo que es tratar de esconder un trauma tras un recuerdo lindo que nunca paso, ya que en algun punto mi madre realmente fue horrible conmigo y me escondi tras algo como eso. Siempre la justifique con cosas como que no tenia la culpa, que solo estaba estresada (y aun así por dentro si me quejaba, pero nunca lo decia por miedo a que ella me a nuevamente). Yo sigo con ella, honestamente sigo con todo el dolor que alguna vez tuve en el pasado. Al menos ahora no estoy dispuesta a perdonarla completamente, por que sigo dañada por todo lo que ha hecho, realmente ha tenido un efecto traumatico en mi pero aun así tengo el valor para aceptar sus disculpas algun día si es que las da. No se si decir que le hecho la culpa de como me comporto actualmente, por que tal vez tengo mala actitud o algo así segun mis padres

mi papa tampoco estuvo tan presente cuando lo necesite pero aun así fue mi mayor figura de apoyo y la persona en la que actualmente me resguardo a pesar de que a veces nos tratemos mal. No lo perdono, no los perdono, pero el amor que siento es más grande. Mentiria si digo que no hay rencor de por medio por todo lo que ha pasado pero aun así los amo.

Este juego me parece algo realmente increible. La angustia de MC y todo el dolor que pasa por la manipulacion realmente se siente mucho y no solo eso, tambien el reflejo del trauma de los personajes a causa de todo pasado anteriormente se ve. Se notan las raices y como eso los ha afectado a largo plazo. Me alegra mucho que el ultimo final no sea algo agrio o algo así, es un final donde a pesar del dolor todos encuentran un camino a la luz. Si, todo el dolor sigue estando, pero todos han hecho su esfuerzo por seguir adelante y lo han logrado, se han amado.

btw... es muy fuera de tema pero me dio un poco de risa los 2 artes que se mostraron cuando los gemelos se abrazan entre si o cuando uno de ellos amenaza a mc con suicidarse  NO TIENEN NADA DE MALO OKAY, solo se me hizo algo gracioso el cambio artistico pero fuera de eso toda mi experiencia jugandolo fue increible!!! gracias por crear este juego, realmente tengo mucho para pensar ahora <3 

CARALHO! QUE JOGO FODA!

Foi uma maravilhosa experiência jogar esse jogo. Me deixou completamente surpresa quando aos finais e a história dele, além de emocionada com a mensagem que ele vem a passar. SIMPLESMENTE JOGUE!

This is incredibly well-written. I am not able to play for a different ending because it made me feel so strongly that it left an impact on me mentally. I truly adore this game. As a person who used to behave in an abusive manner without realizing it, this game helped me fully come to terms with the magnitude that my words and actions, which were similar to the love interest's at times, affected my ex. It made me feel incredibly remorseful because the protagonist's thoughts of being useless, being at fault, etc, were how I felt in the abusive relationship I myself had suffered, and were likely also how my ex felt during my time with them. It truly resonated with me and hurt to play, but that just shows how well-executed it is. It brought me to tears because it reflected how my own actions have affected other people and I am incredibly remorseful for them. 

TL;DR Great game. Really hit close to home as someone who used to hurt others in a similar way without meaning to. 

This is a wonderful game that evokes incredible emotions. Icould barely hold back my tears at the end.

This game is very well made and brought out a lot of emotions in me 

This is incredible. What an amazing and true-to-life depiction of manipulation and the pain that it causes. This made me analyze a lot of my past relationships and think about how much they may have affected me. Incredibly thought-provoking.

This. Is amazing. I can really tell you guys put effort into the story, the portrayal of the 'love interest' and the beautiful art! Thank you for this- I'm looking forward to your future projects!

the ending 1 For me it's the most real and also the scariest, because I know I would do the same as MC if I were in his place, it's scary to think that relationships like this exist and many can't get out of it due to psychological manipulation, when the words start repeating themselves and when you feel like things are only going to get worse even if the cycle continues the same

The writing caught me off guard really. It felt like any sort of cheesy trope before evolving to be on par with real life. The tension doesn't just magically resolve. It stays and festers, boiling down before erupting. While I have not personally experienced these issues, I appreciate the care put into the writing for victims of abuse feel seen. 

10/10, confused on getting the other endings and frankly, I might stop using skip for the sake of seeing other endings

lovely game. I found it when i was searching for a yandere game & at first it didn't seem like a yandere game.. until the psychological method of manipulating someone showed. I guess this is how it's like when you're in an abusive relationship n have to deal w/ this.. I'm just glad that the other siblings were there for us and have to deal with this cause i would not last a second. Overall the character designs & cgs are beautiful, i love the voice acting too, quite real.

Lovely game, amazing voice actors, great art. i loved everything. and the story itself is the highlight of the game <3

It breaks me, it broke my heart </3

For some reason, I feel that ideas highlighting awareness about signs of a toxic relationship are quite rare. As someone who has never been in a romantic relationship, this hits me hard and makes me more cautious about who I fall in love with

this one was certainly intense and unexpectedly hit home </3 a bittersweet, realistic experience and I felt satisfied reaching the true end which gave that kinda moving on aspect more easier, there's truly that valuable something you can take from this, some inspiring strength, relatable moments, and well, it helped me to learn about those toxic relationships that were so difficult to get out of.

I'm glad i played this. It helped me to realise some important things about both past and present relationships. Thank you for making this.

I came to see how this game is going to play with the 'hanahaki' disease trope and oh. My God. I did NOT expect to get flashbacks and absolute whiplash. THE PLOT IS SO GOOD. This feels so.... so realistic. My ex used to act like our sweetheart, making me feel horrible each day and then acting like it was fine afterwards, it feels suffocating and this game did those feelings so so well. I felt trap and when I got the final, true ending... Oh the tears. I learned how to forgive them, not just the characters, the person i was with, too. I wonder about them sometimes but I'm way better now. Thank you for this game, you have truly TRULY moved my heart.

(not really spoiler free)

oh. my god. I absolutely BAWLED my eyes out over this game. I love yua sooo much !!!! they're such a cutie pie!! wish there was an ending where we happily ended up with them; but it makes far more sense from a realistic and creative project to not have that. this game is such a fucking masterpiece!!! the scene with yuu trying to make yua remember what their mother was actually like was SO SAD. and that scene with them walking together happily at the end of the 4th end?!?!? im dead. deceased. literally cannot explain how much I love this game.

Someone ask me to play this game... and I'm glad they did 1000/10

I genuinely felt so trapped and helpless playing this game...it beautifully encapsulated the prison that abusive relationships can be. 10/10 experience, I found it horrifying.
