god i just love this game.
ugh straight facts your writing style is a perfect match for the perpetual state of disconnect, cynicism, and existential dread that is and has always been my life

god i just love this game.
The only food using blood we really make here is black pudding, the burned, saccharine smell of which makes me nauseous, so I have never actually tasted it.
But, as a former extremely goth teenager, and kid who took licking your wounds quite literally, I can confirm that I have no problem with the taste of raw human blood.
…
On a more relevant note, I keep being impressed by the writing of this WIP.
Everything feels very, very real (especially the characters and relationship, just gorgeous and detailed and intimately casual) and at the same time dreamlike and surreal. All the while, this subtle thread of terror running in the background, screaming at you that everything is wrong, wrong, WRONG!
And gods, the horror of thinking something might have happened to your beloved pet, is so damn relatable!
Hi petrichorlite, welcome to the forum! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying this WIP so far. However, we tend to discourage asking authors for release dates/estimates.

Thank you!
WOW WOW and WOW, this is one of the best WIPs who I have read in my life, the plot is so original, I like the idea of the MC with amnesia and only knowing one person.
I try to trust MC spouse, but all of this, looks so suspicious, maybe I’m just paranoid, but sometimes I love them and the other time, I think they will kill the MC
I have some theories or ideas of how can end añl this plot (?) :
The spouse (I will refer them as “she” cuz I chose them as a “wife”) is a psycho who wants the MC only for her, and has isolated the MC in a unknown house in Finland
Idk, but this one, looks that it’s what is happening here, the metaphor are pointing this idea -mom! I’m scared!- I hope this don’t happen, cuz she is so caring and lovely
The MC isn’t a nurse and it’s a serial killer? And the spouse is trying to hide them from the justice? Mmm, i don’t think so?
The spouse is a good person and the MC too, and they have done anything bad in their lifes, they are just normal persons, but my paranoid mind thinks that they’re a couple of murderers
1. Tell me about your MC! Name, gender, personality, opinion… anything you want. It really helps.
My MC is a lesbian woman and I chose her spouse as a woman (obv haha) This is just my opinion, but it would better if u can’t chose your spouse name,
like what it is, is what you have…
(?) I can’t explain better, English isn’t my first language, I’m not good at writing (I’m better in reading oppsi)
one question
Will you add the MC personality stats?? Like :
Accepting / no accepting
Friendly / Stoic
Past self /present self
If the Wip is gonna have Romance/sexual content you can add romance stats, like :
Flirtatous/ shy
more things
All the Wip is so real, and is so easy to feel like the MC, like the previous comment said:
Everything feels very, very real
I like how u use the metaphors
so poetic
keep going with it
Obviously, all I said, is just my opinion, you have all the right to do whatever you want <3
1000/1000 wip, looking forward to future updates (+update this, whenever u want, you health and live comes first)
Tingles, shivers and love. So good to continue this epic journey. I almost don’t even care what A’s motivations are at this point, I’m just here for the ride!
As the mod said, I have no idea! I found it takes between 2 days and 1 year for me to write 6K words.
That was how it was, but some players said they didn’t want the name Anthony because their family members had the same name, so it was best to give an option to change it.
I most likely will!
Thank you all for the praises and feedback :'0
Shiveeeerss.
That chapter 3 feels like calm before storm, or that quiet eery music you heard so much in triller movies before the MC catches what’s going on.
Luckily I played in a bright mid-day.
God, this is creepy, but tender at times, and dare I say, hot at other times? Gives me a weird amalgamation of feelings, but like above, I’m just along for the ride! The vow exchanging ceremony was very strange, but very fitting for this couple that’s clearly not your run-of-the-mill married pair… I really like the way information is conveyed, through dreams and the mind palace, and the bird-self was really cool. Nothing ever feels like a text-dump, and I find myself immersed and engaged and perturbed all throughout. I always look forward to updates on this one; it’s a (tense) joy to read!
I feel uncomfortably like you’ve rummaged around in my head for things that I like to put in your story. I am on pins and needles to find out what role hypnosis plays in the story. I was initially intrigued by the hair washing, but the induction with the countdown makes me pretty confident that someone is getting (or had gotten?) hypnotized.
I am cheerfully ignoring the multitude of GIANT red flags and am in love with my spouse. Anthony was a fine name for me, but if I’m getting to name my problematic love interest then he’ll be Victor. (I have A Thing about Dr. Doom, okay?!)
I’m really curious what role the attunement is going to play. So far I haven’t been able to see any differences in a high vs. low attunement MC. That’s not a criticism; just curious! I hope I can make things work with my spouse without being high attunement because I’m not sure I like who I used to be.
Omg, I’ve just realised how much this reminds me of “Misery” the Stephen King film. Loved that just like I’m loving this WIP
okay, I’ve never been so excited about a wip before (and I’ve read my fair share) every little detail keeps me from putting my phone down until I’ve done a few playthroughs with different mcs, it’s just…!!! also, I want to divorce the spouse so bad?!
when going to the lake, is the spouse doing it on purpose depending what starts we give them?
also who tf exchange vows with a cup of each others’ blood? a blood ganache???
Some satanic cults, probably.
There are many esoteric orders and ancient traditions that performs this. Though, some of the asian traditions (Philippines, in particular) got this from the christian colonizers.
bruh
ah i was wondering if the spouse name choice was new! glad to see it, one of my OCs has a past relationship that could have veered into this territory, so i’m even more immersed than before by getting to choose the name
I love the eerie-ness of the ending of chapter 3 so much lol. Though, I think it would be interesting if an mc who’s been altogether very reluctant to go along with A’s antics, like refusing to let them stay in the bathroom, refusing to kiss, etc. Basically low attunement stat maybe? if there was an option during the vows to at least be more like “uhhhh wtf~?” even with an extra moment of hesitation in the flavor text that A notices and maybe responds to accordingly. Idk it’s just so off-putting as is but I tend to play as both an aggressively-high attunement and an aggressively-low attunement mc, and low-y seems very un-willing to play along with A sometimes.
You should not have enabled the save and load option , reading all the answers of the birdman-me makes me suspicious of Abigail
Edit : Oh well , past that point , the suspiciousness keeps increasing. I miss the old demo when it was just talking and cuddling.
this is literally it, my most favorite wip of this year. oh man I’m literally all emotional and vulnerable here bc of the spouse lmao.
the writing?? amazing, the way mcs size was mentioned several times [and it was so endearing] and the detail of their glasses?? I love it, I’m so in love with it. and ahhH the spouse is shady as fuck, but also so adoring and loving I can’t help but trust them? the touch deprivation of quarantine is really getting to me i-
also, you’ve very perfectly captured the emotion and energy of hannibal. so eery and agonizing but just as raw. this is so raw, it somewhat feels like a sequel of them running away after s3 but will losing his memories?
the dolce… I see what you were doing there! if these two don’t turn out to be cannibals I don’t know. not to mention mcs first instinct after waking up from the nightmare was to bite their spouse.
the references were so delicious, I’m so very awed by this. thank you for the update and hope you’re staying safe out there!
and hnnn, I want to think about my mc more but I really need to collect myself first haha.
Well, this WIP is certainly a trip. An excellent one though! Having played the demo multiple times now and having read the thread I have a lot of thoughts about what might be going on?!? So many possibilities!
The fact A apparently works for the FBI is very interesting. I think in general I agree with both characters being cannibals or something. The marriage, starting with the ages they met and the age difference, raises all sorts of red flags for how this relationship progressed. There is no way it isn’t toxic and unhealthy. I do hope A is really A and not someone pretending to be them, just because there is so much history between the two apparently.
My MC I have tried to play as trying to be a nice decent person, and most importantly trying to be somewhat normal, and one that kinda gets vibes that things are not as they seem. With that said, my MC can’t help but fall for A and generally reward them with affection. Despite all the bad vibes the interactions are just so adorable and sweet? I am terrified for all the things that are going to happen to my MC as the game progresses…
Ahhhhh…this wip gets me every damned time It’s just so well written! The atmosphere is comfortable but creepy at the same time, as is your relationship. It’s unlike anything else I have read and I. Am. Here. For. It. ☆
My MC is sarcastic and flirty. She enjoys her hubby because…what other choice does she have at this point? But he is also very endearing in how he treats her, and a gal has needs. She IS quite unnerved when he won’t answer her questions though. She hates feeling in the dark about her own life. So yeah, trying to piece things together is her main goal at the moment…I love how slowly things are faintly revealed. It’s just such an interesting approach to play an MC with amnesia I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! GREAT JOB!
