How the heck did I manage to miss playing this until now???!
Well actually no. I have seen this for months now, trawling through the 'yandere' tag here on itch. It's just that it keeps getting buried on my "to play" list by other games...
Realtalk tho. The red words (you, I, me, etc) at the beginning reminded me of the blue 'HOUSE' in House of Leaves, so that immediately clued me in on Mychel's...methods.
Ooooo! I'm so excited for the rest of this game! It's a slow burn and it's so exciting! I'm obsessed with the level of detail with Mychael's manipulation and how the writing style changes when he attempts to hypnotize the player. I can't fully describe how wowed I was with the ending of Day 2 because it works so well with how Mychael was written and his little yandere hints before then.
Bro, I'm in love with this game it's so perfect, like everything, the art, the character design, haha it's one of the best games in this type of game everything is very perfect and obvious the character is so kind that I'm in love, I want more Haha how am I going to hold out until it's released <33
Last time I played this was before the extended demo (i think? i don't remember lol) and now, getting to play all the way through day two! I'm so excited to see what's next! Mychael's so cute and wholesome that I genuinely got whiplash when his yandere behaviour came up. It made me realise how much I let my guard down around, what could very well be, a very dangerous person. But, at the same time, I can understand why he has yandere tendencies and is so desperate to keep us around.
i'm so exited and want play more with this beatiful game because of all things! thank you for such a good game!!
first of all: i like that the mc not simple self-insert line others yandere-games, s/he has a point in different things and sympathy to mychael, but at the same time s/he wants to find cat and for me it's cute!
second is theme of differences, alienation in society and how society reacts to those who has deviations aaand this is really interesting!!! and theme of lonelies and desperate desire for affection, so i can relate with mychael and understand him so well
i want know about him more and i'll wait for future updates!
First, you represented in a very simple and accurate way how low self-esteem works. You implemented it very well in Mychael, who, by the way, is simply very well written. Leaving him as a “Yandere boy” seems little to me, he is his own character, his own person. It is not to belittle other Yandere characters, but I feel that the Yandere personality is usually very poorly explored in the way it should be.
Most games could be summarized in something like this:
*The game warns you that the love interest is dangerous. -Ok, but why is he dangerous?
*Because he is crazy. -Well, and why is he crazy?
Many Yandere characters share the cliché of using “madness” or any synonym of emotional problems to justify their behaviors. However, the clues you leave about the origin of Mychael’s problems allow me not only to make sense of his behavior, but even to identify with him. In two days you knew how to lay the foundations to have an idea of how Mychael’s mind works. You knew how to tell a lot with very little, which left me with a lot of theories in my head. I’m not wondering “why”, I wonder when, how, you already gave enough pieces to put together a chronology, to the point that all I have to do is wait to see which of the theories is the most accurate.
For now, I can only agree with some things. Mychael is someone who was forced to live alone for who knows how long. He genuinely cares about us, but at the same time, he is desperate not to be alone again. He has a perception of reality and of himself that is somewhat radical and negative based on what he experienced in his past (something very identifiable), especially thanks to the way the protagonist also tries to help Mychael.
I congratulate you on your hard work, I am aware that there are other works that explore the psyche of their characters well. But this one in particular, has caught my attention a lot.
Low self-esteem is not a topic explicitly addressed in this type of games, and seeing it reflected with fascinating illustrations, creative writing and with an interesting premise makes you immerse yourself a lot in this story.
Oh wow, thank you SO much for the thoughtful comment 😭😭😭❤️ I re-read it so many times and I honestly cant write with words how much this comment means to me.
While Mychael is a more tame yandere compared to other VNs (I've had players tell me they forget he's a yandere in the first place haha!) I definitely wanted him to be more than just the trope itself! As a fan of yan content myself, I kinda agree with you haha. It's almost too easy to say a character is in love with the MC, but why the player of all people? How do they stand out among the rest to justify the shady actions that're usually associated with the lovesick trope?
And aaa tysm <3!! I really wanted to have Mychael be the one to represent himself to the player, and nitpicked everything from what he talks about to how much he talks about it the player through Day 1 and Day 2! I can only hope I could keep it up for future updates <3!!!
This game is perfect. I adore Mychael. I genuinely cannot wait for there to be more. The art, music, and story is amazing. It's so sweet. The quality is amazing too. I love the glitching/enchantment scenes. They make me so happy.
Also- he and I are very similar. It's nice. I've never seen the mention of kalimbas in any media so seeing him play it was really sweet.
All in all I cannot wait for this game to continue. I'm sure everyone is eager.
This game is a masterpiece! Very high quality. 10 out of 10. I'm looking forward to the continuation. Fell in love with this guy😭 Mychael🤌🤌 I wish the author good luck, this is a great game!I recommend the game, you won’t regret it! There are no viruses.
I LOVE THIS GAME. MYCHAEL<<<the whole world
Mychael is sooooooooo adorable and he has the best design I have ever seen!!! I LOVE EVERTHING in the game. The art and music bring the atmosfere confortable how Mychael try to give to us and this is the first game how makes my heart feel so warm . AND HE PLAYS kalimba , this man is perfect!!! Play this game is a unique experience. Im happy you shared this amazing project to everyone.
No worries! Anything here on itch.io is pretty safe to download. I've been downloading any visual novels/games from here if they aren't available on the play store/app for like two years I guess.. And everything here do actually work so well. The moral of what I'm saying is yes, I assure you that it's pretty safe to download anything from here, not just this game. plus, if the website was actually uploading unsafe games and files, it would've been banned or deleted by now..
Awww, thank you for your sweet manner! I just happened to scroll here in the comments after I played the game. And it felt nice to get the chance to help someone as kind as you. Anyways, wish you a good luck playing the game, buddy! :-)
what type of problems are you having? i also sometimes have trouble downloading on this platform in general & ran into some issues with this one (but worked it out) so i might be able to help !
I've been seeing a bunch of fanart of this game lately and decided to give it a try. In conclusion, I'm in love with the whole thing. The art is gorgeous, the text and story is easy to follow and interesting. However the best part is our adorable little bean. I love them so much even after all the morally wrong things they've been doing against us. Amazing job on the game. 10/10. :)
I have a problem, and that is that when I bring the mouse to, for example, "start" or any option, a small window pops up that says some things between "error" and "origin: (null)" which is, I don't know how to fix it, it appeared out of nowhere while I was playing and now it doesn't stop appearing every time I want to interact with an option, before it didn't happen to me, I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it and from the beginning now that happens to me
So I have a Kalimba of my own and I've been trying to mimic the same Melody that Michael starts playing when we're in the field of flowers and I really want to know is there a specific cord chart that I could get, I really want to play it!

I feel like crying at how cute the game was, and I'm super excited for the rest of it!!! :D
How the heck did I manage to miss playing this until now???!
Well actually no. I have seen this for months now, trawling through the 'yandere' tag here on itch. It's just that it keeps getting buried on my "to play" list by other games...
Realtalk tho. The red words (you, I, me, etc) at the beginning reminded me of the blue 'HOUSE' in House of Leaves, so that immediately clued me in on Mychel's...methods.
So yeah. So excited for the next update!
this game is so interesting! love the artstyle :)
Ooooo! I'm so excited for the rest of this game! It's a slow burn and it's so exciting!

I absolutely love this story and Mychael, cant wait for more of our little mushroom boy <3
Bro, I'm in love with this game it's so perfect, like everything, the art, the character design, haha it's one of the best games in this type of game everything is very perfect and obvious the character is so kind that I'm in love, I want more Haha how am I going to hold out until it's released <33
Is there any chance that you'll make a android version at some point? I really want to play the game but don't own a Mac or PC
You can download the Joiplay app and install the Renpy plugin. Not all Renpy games can be playable on Joiplay tho.
I just finished setting it up and omg this is the best app to exist! Thank you for recommending it

For everyone interested in the "bad" endings.
I think they are pretty important to understand Mychael's character even more.
This game is a 10/10.
The writing is so so good!
Help, im suffering bro. Is there any way to pay with credit card? :,
I love his design!! Cant wait for more content XD

And, on top of the great writing, I love the art!

AAA I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!, I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE UPDATES TO COME IN THE FUTURE!
I've been seeing a bunch of fanart of this game lately and decided to give it a try. In conclusion, I'm in love with the whole thing.

Forget it, I already fixed it..
Oh! Did you figure out what the issue was?
This game is so cool! Mychael is such a adorable guy, I already like him. Can't wait for the full game, thank you for your amazing work <3
So I have a Kalimba of my own and I've been trying to mimic the same Melody that Michael starts playing when we're in the field of flowers and I really want to know is there a specific cord chart that I could get, I really want to play it!
I dont personally have the chords haha, but here's a link to the original creator of the audio!

Nah, this project will remain free even after completion :-)
