Wow! What a very normal relationship between two Very Normal People :)
I liked the line early on about how natural agreeing to the confession came; the rest of the game felt like it was responding to that line. How long can you stand to play the role of the 'Love Object' before it starts to wear down on you?
I haven't played the DLC at the time of writing, but I do wish we got to see more of Mafuyu's friends and their thoughts on her. There's attention brought to how Ash overthinks due to knowing how niche and unsettling their interests are, and how that results in their social anxiety. It would have been nice if we had gotten similar insight into Mafuyu herself; I felt like the closest was her saying she had a loving family while also telling her friend that she was getting used to living alone. That seems like a bit of a discrepancy that Mafuyu may not event recognize herself, and could suggest at an underlying loneliness that makes her imprint so hard onto whoever she decides is her object of affection [EDIT: Looking at the comments, and it seems like there might be some side stuff in-game that I missed that might go more into Mafuyu's deal! I'll have to reset and play around with the other options some more....]. Her Yandere moments and how that infects the game was fun though; definitely got vibes of You & Me & Her and DDLC.
Your art is good!!! It's cute style is a nice contrast to the themes and content of the story, and the expressions are great (Ash's eye bags and dead eyed looks are personal favorites of mine)! I always appreciate it when devs make their own artwork while having a clear vision in their head on what they want from their characters. I feel like that results in making something that truly captures their 'voice' better then working with a separate artist would.
Thank you for playing. You might’ve missed the Cherry Blossoms ending, I think!
I really recommend playing the DLC as the protagonist is Amy, Mafuyu’s friend, so you get to see her perspective of the events and what Mafuyu is like away from Ash, as well what Ash wasn’t privy to during the base game. There’s an ‘episode Mafuyu’ too which is unlocked after finishing Amy’s episode.
I’ll tell you that Mafuyu is meant to be a divisive, mysterious character and there’s no right or wrong way to interpret her. In fact, in the DLC’s CGs, every time she shows up she appears in slightly different artstyles to symbolize this.
As for the art, I appreciate the kind words. I’ve been unable to draw properly and I’m considering stopping releasing games with my art on them, it’s become something painful for me rather than fun like it used to be when I released this game. So it really means a lot to hear that you enjoyed it.
I FINALLY GOT MONEY, GONNA BUY SECOND PART ON STEAM YAYYYYY (i really love this game and i played it last year and replayed it recently AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ITTT😍😍😍 The creator really did a great job and an even more amazing story 1000/10)
When there's the ending of the true end and there was a paper crane in our pocket, does that mean we also secretly had feelings for Lion so we kept it? Or was it just when we made it with Rikka ans Leon? 🤔
gostei muito do jogo, bem diferente do que eu costumo jogar e com reações ineperadas, eu gostaria de pedir a autorização do autor para fazer um manhwa inspirado no jogo se possivel
Lo jugué aunque está en inglés y no en Español, pero realmente me gustó a pesar de que entendí solo el 80% más o menos de lo que decían los personajes.
Algo es seguro, "Friend" es el mejor personajes y nadie me hará cambiar de opinión. (ง'̀-'́)ง
Buen juego para pasar el rato, y fue mejor de lo que pensé.
Espero que puedas seguir disfrutando haciendo juego. Estoy seguro de que no fue fácil para nada.
Espero también algún día hacer un juego que pueda disfrutar y entretener a otros.

Yay, I hope you enjoy it!! Thank you so much.
BTW I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION
When there's the ending of the true end and there was a paper crane in our pocket, does that mean we also secretly had feelings for Lion so we kept it? Or was it just when we made it with Rikka ans Leon? 🤔

Oi! Que bom que gostou.
Pode fazer sim, desde que deixe claro que é um trabalho feito por fãs, não-canônico, e não monetize de qualquer forma, com os créditos para mim.
i just completed all the endings! what a good game :)
I love this game so much! i hope you make more! i might donate in the future! <3
Thank you so much for playing, I have about 10 more games in my page!! I recommend Hydrangea for more psychological yandere spooks =)
Guys, the game has several endings! Don’t stop at the first one, there’s so much more depth to the game!
I found out only 40% of Steam players have gone past the first ending, is the game not clear enough that there’s more to see? :(
love it, i had fun while playing.
Thank you for playing!!
woah that was intense indeed haha
edited: i got all the endings. it's so sad and bittersweet at the same time. I liked Lion very much.
Thank you so much for playing!!
Really good! Maybe ill buy the extra episodes on a later date!
Thank you so much for playing!!
A MATCH MADE IN...
