I really enjoyed the interview! it was really fun and very immersive thanks to the voice acting which was well made! The visuals are amazing, the artstyle felt nice to look at. I think you've done a great job on this game :D I'm looking forward to more stuff from you (⌒‿⌒)
I adore this, love folk horror and the way Mel describes her perspective on gods and her victims gave me a lot to chew on conceptually. A part of me hopes you expand upon these ideas to create a larger game, though this works well as a shorter experience.
"if you don't feed it, it dies." Those words of Mel's about creating a God have never been so accurate.
I don't know what demon or spell Mel put on us, but I swear it was amazinggg, I love supernatural, mythological stuff and everything in the middle, it's always fun to see these elements in a game! And for a short and quick game, it was super well done!
When she says "I cant die" I wonder if she's immortal, some entity or made some pact... aaah, there're so many questions! I wish this game was longer, really got interested in Mel.
I just leaned right in, I don't wanna mess with someone with her kind of power ha. The facial expressions are so good, they add so much menace to Mel, especially her slightly unhinged squinting-smile. I loved it. This was fun!
i found a bug. Its hard to explain but ill try. when its a mel narrative, i cant hear the voice acting, i can only see the text, but when click and then go back to that same narrative, she is able to speak.
Same, I think the web version tries to load the sound file on-demand with the dialogue, which ofc fails since there isn't enough time, but then the file is present so it works on rollback.
Played through all endings. It was pretty great, loved the content it offered. I played it no voice for awhile and then realised that there's voice--it was a bit younger than I expected, but it was good in the end. It didn't drag out my time and it was to point. Does the title screen stay the same?
You did a great job on this game! I really love the story and especially the different endings we can get. The voice acting was really good for Mel, having such a soothing voice for someone we know to be a murder really helped to create a creepy character.
I've really enjoyed both games of yours I've played so far! I am definitely excited for what you create next.
To swat a fly may not be the most obvious term of having a fly buzzing around your house being a nuisance & wanting to swat it, but an analogy of eradicating beings (regardless of their size) and that swatting pleases you, or someone else you know or something you believe in. Regardless, Mel's a merciless lass!
Hi, while I really appreciate you making fan content, I'm incredibly uncomfortable with my voice being used to train AI. Could you please take down the AI covers? The OST vid is ok to keep up, though, as long as it's properly credited to the musician!
Loved this game so much! I had a hard time finding the music, but then i looked at the game files and thankfully u left the songs name :) Since there wasnt any "to swat a fly ost" video out there i decided to make one
I scheduled a video for 9th of August cuz I have one more vid before this one. I really enjoyed the game I think it was really fun to play. Story is amazing and art is so beautiful! Good job Luna!
It was super intriguing. I wasn't expecting the mystery to be what it was. Solid voice acting, good art and an interesting premise come together to make a very fun vn. Good work!! I look forward to your next project!
I had a great time playing this! The voice acting was well done! I like the art style and UI design. The mystery behind the murderer was pretty intriguing! Overall, it was a fun time! Great work on this!

I played the game on my channel here:
Really enjoyed.
I loved the concept of the game and the mystery of trying to figure out things about Mel. The voice acting is a really good touch too. Good job.
Here's my gameplay of it:
It is pretty good! c:
I love the thing about: only exists if you believe
She was an interesting individual :)
Great game, love the occult vibe in it. Got all 3 endings ;)

Was a fun detective/ interview style VN! Loved the little bit of supernatural lore in it and how that escalates and develops! Great job on it!
And Finally for those of you that are simply Mel fans

Fun fact: the whole time I thought there were 4 endings, just at the end I realized there's only 3 lol.
this is very well done but if im being honest i found mel way more annoying than scary

Very nice game , I love the graphics😁

Yes, that's a progressive loading issue in the browser version! Which is why I put a note about audio issues in the description.
Same, I think the web version tries to load the sound file on-demand with the dialogue, which ofc fails since there isn't enough time, but then the file is present so it works on rollback.
That's a really cool game!
also, voice acting and music were amazing!!

Yes, the title screen stays the same! There will be a full version of the article posted somewhere soon, though!
Gud.
Good game. All Endings here:
Ending 2:
Ending 3:
I love the voice and the art!
You can go from cheery to cold and aloof. That's some good range.
And once again you incorporate subtle supernatural elements that make you wish for more.
Keep it up!
Anime Aileen Wuornos tricked me... and then she crashed Twitch
Like the tones that this presents. Also, the idea of her own 'god' was a cool spin. Will be super cool to see what you make in the future!
