HHHHH my ...heartstrings. also the conflict is so tense T-T somehow I clutched up and got the good ending first.


(the call me maybe segment :skull:)

First, this is a "play in browser" game that DID NOT feature content warnings during it's original release, meaning if you played this *IN* browser you'd be not given a warning prior to playing which is creator negligence. Her twitter response just added fuel to the fire, it connects some dots but overall it still doesn't make sense. As well as people should be allow to criticize things, if you post stuff on the internet (or much less make a game and beg your viewers/player/fanbase/etc to rate it 5.0 to get a "good ending.") people are going to say something about that. Did I mention overall the lack of care towards sensitive subjects?

Not only is this game poorly written, it's down right insensitive and doesn't make any sort of reason to reach the ending. Other than the horribly written violence, the other thing I found insufferable was 'rizz' being used (if I were to guess) over 16 times. And even if you tell the Love interest to monitor the sexual comments literally nothing happens in game. what the fuck was the point of putting the choice there if it didn't do anything? Error 143's bad ending was abysmal already because the game is "punishing you" for have literally a perfect valid boundary. Now that's [boundaries] all of what this game really talks about but it's so surface level to the point it doesn't even effect the game. The twitter explanation is also full of excuses, The love interest knew MC before hitting his goal (and I assume because MC goes to his house, long before the idea of him even thinking about being a streamer.) So how in the world is that a representation of 'parasocial relationships' and stalking? How do you forget what happens in your own game??? Did I mention the begging for rating by guilt tripping the viewer? That is some clown behavior. 

The only thing really redeemable is the artists and the rest of the team besides the creator. 

HUGGGGE FUCKING W ON RELEASING THE FULL GAME!!!!!

I went and finished playing our fantastic wonderland after the main game...got all 3 endings. (and got all 4 for this game LMAOO errrr I just really like this game okay the writing is amazing and ohhhhh my fucking god if only I could video essay this in everyone's mines because THIS IS THE VN HORROR I"VE BEEN MISSING!!!)

sorry I love this game toooooo much LOL XD

 RAAAAAH I WENT AND GOT ALL THE ENDINGS AMAZING WORK, ORLAM BEST BOY AND IM TOO EXCITED AND LOVE THIS GAME TO WRITE MUCH ELSE

Saw the instagram reel for this game it looks amazing so far! That animated opening is so nice aaaa

OK so phew...my comment is gonna be long I know it for sure. I'll give a little bit about my experience of another side game of yours to uh provide context I guess? [Obvious spoilers!] And a TW/CW for brief sexual trauma mention (nothing graphic though)

So I'm familiar with the side game :"texting your awkward ace guy you've had a crush one since highschool" and this made me view Genzou & iggy kind of "better" than everyone else. (Because everyone was complete strangers to me and y'know everyones comforted by something they've already seen before.) To be honest, first going into the game I wasn't sure what I was expecting, like gore, definitely, but what else? I actually...either don't remember or don't know. I was just hooked on curiosity, intrigue, you're immediately set into the wonderland, (ok maybe not technically but besides the point as it doesn't take long lol) and it is like the fairytale. The grandest place for kids to be, like an amusement park.

I really didn't know what rollercoaster I strapped myself in while playing, at first it's calm, maybe a little awkward but I find myself somewhat comforted by Genzou as he familiarizes me to this new world, he's a little mean, but I don't hate characters who are a little rough around the edges. It was admittedly a little unexpected as I thought he wouldn't just swear and insult like a sailor, I mean I thought he would be awkward. ( Though looking back now it's usually only with iggy.) 

You finally return back to wonderland but it's not long before you've come to find things have changed. Not too unlike another game I've played. ( Huge Alice Madness Returns fan) I knew the gore was going to happen eventually ( granted its not shown but we uh, definitely hear it.) And we also see Iggy's and Genzou's reaction to uh, the corpse. After this, things start to pick up, the rollercoaster I've gotten into starts to go faster, practically everything's out to get you, screaming danger. (OH MY GOD when I tell you I hated the first time going on the Kiddie Kruise. I never went to look whenever the collector part came up, the first time I went through this part of the ride I was like scared because of the screaming, but the more times you go on it I would just be antsy around the lighthearted tone the boat ride has like preparing for the inevitable. Just know I FRIGGIN hated when all the options switched to only being able to look. WAAAA) Then you're back to a temporary calm. You see Gidget again, she's seemingly looking and feeling her best. And then, you realize she's not safe either, the false sense of security makes your heart drop. Sure I didn't know literally anything about Gidget other than work I guess up until this point, but the twist makes me basically trust nothing. 

As someone whose also asexual, Iggy's POV spoke to me. I think I'm fine with that kind of adult content until it gets physical. Until I have to actually be there, there is no disconnection of me and the sexual situation, it, yeah makes me afraid, because I feel like I lose control. I just worry over the thoughts of flashbacks coming back, so yeah the game did.. uh really connect to me emotionally. It was probably the most uncomfortable part to get through, but I knew I wanted to see more of the world regardless.

Not long after you're going, running again. And you manage to get away and to no one's surprise we are leaping into just more danger. Orlam definitely like gave me whiplash because he just acts as a complete opposite to his self outside or wonderland. And uh oof cannibalism tag makes sense now. You find his secret, and he finds you. When ya finally get out oh...sorry genzou. ( I still eat him in Orlams arc though as a combo of just well I don't wanna disappoint him and I also DO NOT want to die, so live and eat I will.)  Orlam was surprisingly charming during his arc as I gained a new perspective and like Genzou a LOT less. I mean I can't believe bro really just, yup talked about bros mother after faking giving him a hug that was so wrongggg. AND HIS DAD TOO. C'mon bruh. Like dubble u tee f  [w-t-f] kinds of what the hell is wrong with you. (God if Orlam was real I would friggin love him to hell, give him a hug and all the love he deserves.) OK OK enough of my simping, myself, lmao.  

Iggy...iggy, iggy. Man I have screamed at him a whole bunch to just like DO something, (lowkey praying for 3rd arc iggy to come back ) but I understand that sounds like pretty out of character for him. (thus understanding why he doesn't) But like I almost want to jump in his body and do what I feel he needs to do GAAAAH. Even if that's selfish, reckless, etc.  

I'm not as uh prepared as another commenter and I didn't write notes but just tried to wing this comment through pure memory. ( I just finished to the latest update and UGHHH THE ITCH TO WRITE ABOUT THIS GAME SHSHSH.)  So I'll write a few more things about arc 5 and then you can free yourself from my uh remix of the dictionary. 

I wasn't expecting Gidget to like...find themselves like who they truly are after they lost Cecil. ( BROS A REAL ONE BTW I LOVE HIM TOO LMAO) Uh yeah so as I said like Gidget like changed so much it's like their a different person like it kind of made me forget what happened in the previous arcs surprising. ( of course till it's brought up again) And god Orlam you were hurting so much you cut your own heart out? Like I didn't think of that in the moment of actually playing the game but it's deeply emotional storytelling. His heart full of hate spread though all of wonderland. Up until he gets a small bit of love he's craved. From a person he'd admire (maybe even still admires). If I was where Iggy was at when he asked what you hate about me I would be like. "UH, well I kinda hated you for basically cooking my friend. Granted I ate him because I didn't wanna die, besides the point. But like now I could only empathize with you bro. Like please let me love you???"  Waiting for the next part definitely!! And the other side game as well cuz I NEED those a03 fanfics to read man! XD 

um....end of my rambling now! 

God I was seeing this guy all over pintrest and was like where is this man from? and then found a youtube video abt the recent day 2 update... GOD I LOVE THIS LITTLE MUSHROOM GUY. Also there is a spelling/grammar mistake that is in the line where you try to catch you fall. (the line says purchase instead what I believe is supposed to be surface) I can't wait for the full game! <33

I can't believe I played this seven months ago! I am so happy because of it's full release waaaa.  I played to full completion <3

You can't save the game if I recall correctly

The fem voices fit sm I was always been taken by surprise even when I quit the game 0_0 !! Awesome work

this honestly was a great demo, it really makes you want to see more

OK so yes, I think theres too many additional options, but I like the progress of the game so far in the demo. I hope that options are cut down to be 2-5 versus being closer to ten because its overwhelming as a play for so many options on screen. I think it would be best if this game took more inspiration from the previous our life game, ( such as colored choices to indicate the tone) and maybe remove some added options from the game (like when you say goodbye to qiu and tama.)

I like this game demo but having 5 notes instead of the usual rhythm game 4 notes throws me off a lot, maybe add an option so there can be 4 OR 5 notes in the future.  I sucked so bad at the game I didnt get past the seduce on the characters when you go to sleep XD. The opening main menu was super cool I love the animation and the soundtrack as well! (I also hope the names change in the future soon, because I got uncomfortable with the game when "dahmer" was mentioned)

I like this game but it goes WAY too fast for me I wish there was some sort of difficult mode options i'd pick easy or very easy TwT

The twist definitely made me do a double take just like mc, I was enjoying my time with liev before I had noticed his sprite had changed, ( I didn't notice sooner because despite this being a game I could hardly make eye contact hhh)  also I would like to ask if this was inspired by ddlc because liev pose on the menu reminded me of monika. 

Im so excited for the full game, I got like 8 affection points O-O 

This was so great! I got all of the achievements :)

good game, my only error during gameplay is that theres a bug when you get to the secret ep and ep 3 when you go to the park 

I had unlocked some part of a hidden ending but I can't seem to get to that part again.. perhaps its possible

ironically hungry during my play-through, still highly recommend it was so fun to play this game lol

your pronouns should changeable from the start of the game, you might be playing the old version if you can't seem to change your pronouns

Try downloading itch.io's game opener

What a wonderful game, I was surprised it's free!! All the characters are soooo interesting, I was just playing nightowls route because I had seen the old ver of quest's but I actually lowkey fell in love with him too, even if I didn't really mean too.  

Another thing I loved was that there was a addition with pronouns because it really upset me seeing the old version didn't have that because I wanted to play this game, and not have that issue yk? 

For my first route I got nightowls good end without guide, and last one was xyx with guide.  Also I found it interesting that there was a bit more than the dating aspect to this game and bloomnini I wouldn't mind to make some actual fanart of because that story element was so captivating.

10/10 Would replay this again like my first time playing
