Ren looks so much better when he's not on the little captions at the bottom.

There's a typo here in ending 3


For some reason I can't interact with this specific NPC

I had a amazing time with this game! The story was short and simple while still being engaging! I can definitely see where you draw inspiration from! The only thing that bothered me was how easy it was to not get caught. A gameplay mechanic that involves sneaking past people would be immersive! I've also managed to get all of the endings too! Keep up the good work! If you're curious about my experience, then you can check out the video on my channel or watch the video I posted here! Enjoy my agony!

Ty for the support!

Neat RPG Maker Horror Game! I love the art and monochrome color scheme. I felt like the art pop’d out in places even though it was black and white. It’s really well done! The narrative and writing was also good. The cult was pretty creepy and I like the depiction of their twisted religion around the main character.

Spoilers ahead:

This is a personal nit pick, but I didn’t really feel satisfied with all the endings. I thought they were good endings but they all had somewhat similar negative outcomes. It would have been nice to see one truly positive outcome or at least one that didn’t involve the main character and/or her partner getting killed / stalked again. I know many horror games do this where there’s usually no good outcomes. In this game’s case, it would go in line with depicting how obsessed this cult is with the idol that they’re never going to leave her alone. Still, I can’t say that I felt “fulfilled” after playing. It was more of a “well, that sucks for her” feeling. Again, it’s a very personal nit pick and I’m sure many people won’t mind the results of the endings.

Overall, I did have a good time with this game. Looking forward to whatever you put out next!

No she's just a refrence from the movie perfect blue.

i def need to get around to watching it, also is there an ending where the bf makes it or where the organization is ended?

I don't want to spoil too much, but there is a way to free Ito.  And I highly recommend looking into Perfect Blue. Just a warning, it does cover some dark stuff.
