i don't know how far through i am yet but i gotta say. the vibes right now are honestly like. Lake Mungo type of creeping dread. this is getting me worse than Echo did i think
I just finished this and I've never been so confused yet enthralled by a story since Echo. Spencer is a joy to follow and a giant mood with his internal dialogue. I loved every minute of it, though I hope a few things can be made clearer as it's quite a confusing read.
really interesting premise imo, I really like the multiverse concept of it, overall really really gooood fvn, I will recommend it to my non furry friend tbh.
I should not have read all of that in one sitting, especially at night. With all the fuckary I probobly need to reread everything again... great story but so soo many questions
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your creativity and for sharing it with the world. I enjoyed your visual novel—its characters and storyline and I found myself immersed in the experience. Having watched plenty of Doctor Who and Fringe, I have the sci-fi background to understand and follow the story, though I do have questions—but I also fully respect that you owe no one answers.
More than anything, I hope you had a meaningful and fulfilling time creating this. As someone who has developed products before, I understand the anxiety, the pressure, and how, even when you’re doing something as a labor of love, there can still be challenges—whether it’s expectations, feedback, or just the weight of bringing something to life. I have no idea if any of that played a role in your journey, but I sincerely hope it was a positive one and that you continue to find joy in your creative pursuits.
I’ve always been the type who isn’t just interested in what someone creates but also in their creative process—what inspired them, what fueled them along the way. But that is your story to share, if and when you ever choose to. What I do know for certain is that I owe you a thank you—for the time, effort, and imagination you poured into this. It was truly appreciated.
I was curious about this VN since the beggining and I couldn't be more happy to say right now that it has become one of my favorites! So much that I created this account just to congratulate everyone who was involved in the creation of it.
the way Spencer's character was written relates very personally with me and I've never felt so good reading a history than when I was reading the first few chapters of this, it's history has kept me entertained during a harsh period of my life and I'm sure I'll be reading it again sometime soon.
Gotta also praise the artstyle, the abundance of sprites, the charisma of the main characters and the way the author managed to tie up all the missing context at the end. Just wish I could follow the creator's work somewhere else. Anyway 10/10!!! o/
Gotta say I really am loving this game, fantastic work and the story gives eerie vibes. Your art is really amazing! I am curious how long you've been doing this and wish there was somewhere to follow you for future stuff :-)
Perhaps this is a bit presumptuous, but please forgive me. I’ve been absolutely fascinated by your game since its completion last year, but I had to put it aside due to the lack of a Chinese version. Recently, when a fan translation group finished the localization, I finally started diving into it.
My connection to your game began back in 2022 when I first spotted your minimalist yet distinctive art style. I instantly downloaded it, but the full English text posed a challenge—I had to translate sentence by sentence (my English proficiency is really poor…), which made progress slow. Moreover, relying on AI translations often resulted in awkward phrasing, and I inevitably missed many of your subtle jokes or hidden details. Now that I think about it, I feel a bit regretful.
This game has been with me through some significant life changes, from my sophomore year in high school to my sophomore year in college. Its recent completion holds a special place in my heart as a memorable experience. For these reasons, I’ve decided to thoroughly analyze every aspect of the game: uncovering its humor, deciphering your creative intentions, and even re-playing it entirely (especially since I found parts of the final story confusing and possibly too ambitious for a single playthrough).
I originally hoped to reach out to you on Twitter, but seeing that your account was deactivated has been disappointing. With no other options, I’m reaching out through the itch.io comments section—hoping you might still glance at this message. I’ll check here daily if you ever respond.
Lastly, I want to express my deepest gratitude for creating such a wonderful world. Thank you for introducing me to the charming Spencer, the kind-hearted Lan, the trendy Kurt, and the clever Andrew. Your work truly enriched my life.

this game was INCREDIBLE!!!!! :] im really in awe after playing it and nobody is giving this mind-fuck of a game the credit it deserves. really well thought out and written, the characters are amazing, and the sprites are the cutest of any vn i've played.
10/10 would recommend. only thing is I NEED MORE IAN <3 the ending was satisfying, but now i just wanna see them kiss and live happily-ever-after
Finally someone mentioning how cute Ian is. I get that he’s literally a walking uwu face and that’s probably why, but his personality is cute as well y’know? Mindfuck is a great way to put it. I used to think time travel stories were the worst of it.
hi, wanted to ask, on which build of renpy you doing this novel? (just making some things like importing novel to ios yup, bc wanted to play not only on pc)
btw novel is so nice and cool!!! i love this so much :33 and i think this is a best of the best’s novels :))
There is absolutely nothing like your first experience with a story. The second after finishing this visual novel, I felt those pangs of nostalgia, as if I'd just been born and wanted to be back in the womb. This longing for more is like an unreachable itch. I'll never feel that satisfaction again, that immersion I felt on the first playthrough. Of course I can still enjoy future readings, and that added feeling of nostalgia can make that experience valuable in its own way, but the fact you already know how the story goes is absolutely heartbreaking. 9:22 has some flaws, but It left me with an experience that changed my life forever, and that has to be the best form of art imaginable.
3.0/5 not enough Kurt so i need to deduct from the rating
Really fucking funny and clever dialogue!!!
The atmosphere and pacing were grand!!!!
Loved Spencers personality!!
The animated scenes and effects were really effective!
Todd's design was wasted on a bland ass character </3
Would've loved if we were somehow involved in researching the towns history instead of having the locals loredump everything to us ( it makes perfect sense and isn't done in an overly annoying way it's just a personal gripe)
I just finished playing this VN and I have to say, It was amazing! I am terrible at putting pieces of mysteries together and I still have NO IDEA what the heck is happening in this VN. I'm trying to put stuff together but I'm still at a loss. I am having so much fun trying to figure everything out and I hope you continue to keep creating great content like this!

That was a good read! (Definitely messes with one's head a lot, too :))
This was such a great VN! The twists and turns were so chaotic in the BEST of ways. Very well done!

I would like a clear explanation on how the world works. There are many blackouts during the narrative...

Is there a way to support the creator, like, financially?
This. Was. AWESOME!!!!
