"Do you really want me to stop?"
"No… I mean, yes! I mean—I just…"
"Sorry. I didn’t mean to overwhelm you."
"You didn’t. That’s the problem."

"I don’t start games I can’t win, Candy Vamp.
This can go two ways.
You can get mad, kick me out, and I’ll talk shit about you.
Or you let me do my thing.
Either way… I win."
"I choose… a third option.
Let me show you what losing feels like."

"I never thought the dream of a lifetime would turn into a waking nightmare. A whole week with the person I can barely stand… but I never expected the tables to turn so fast."
Pleun Jolink, the reserved frontman of K4rma.
Inigo Ureña, a flamboyant TikToker, K4rma’s #1 fan… and Pleun’s #1 hater.
Two worlds collide. Two personalities clash. Forced to spend a week together.
What should have been a nightmare quickly turned into something… unexpected.

Hi, sorry for asking, but why the game is hosted ouside itch?
Hello! I'm sorry, what do you mean?
Oh! Now I understood. Because the game it's too heavy and I had to host it some other places to upload it here 🤣
Thank you for your answer!
You're welcome! ✨
As promised here's my full play through if anyone wants to watch it!
Loved reading the chat (both the mechanic and refering back to it later) and other mini-"games" (idk what to classify them as)! Genuinly funny dialogues :D
Thank you for your words, Zang! And thank you for playing! ✨🔥
I had a lovely experience with this game. I think it's a master class of how visual novels can be used to tell important interactive stories. The voice acting is top not, and really helps sell everything so much better to. I really hope this game gets the recognition it deserves. I'll comment back with the video to my playthrough when it's up on my YT Channel.
Oh, Atticus, thank you so much again 😭
literally stayed up so late to continue the story, i just couldn't stop - just know one of the route made me cry, i really like how this specific subject was portrayed and handled in the game! phenomenal work on the VA (that voiced Cog and Marcus like what??), the interactivity, the art, the story, i love it all and i wish more people gave it a try. genuinely a very very good game so far, i can't wait for more
I'm sad because this comment is amazing but I think you commented on the wrong game 😭 I don't think there are characters named Cog and Marcus in mine 🥲
aw no no, i am not mistaken! i meant that the voice actors worked on another project together and voiced two characters that i love very much - Cog and Marcus, from the webtoon Daybreak! sorry for the misunderstanding
OH MY! IT'S TRUE I FORGOT, YEAH IT'S THEM!
Then I... I can't explain how happy this comment makes me, how don't know what to say! Really. And, yes, the guys did an AMAZING job bringing my boys to life and I will never be able to express my immense gratitude.
I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding and... again: thanks for playing and for this comment. It really made my day ✨❤️
it's my pleasure <3 i am definitely following your project with great enthusiasm
May I just say that this game is a masterpiece! Like omg I love it so much, and the voice actors are perfect for the characterss! And their dynamic is beyond cutee! I almost hunger for more, Great work :D
I didn't expect a comment so soon so I'm really happy and excited! I'm glad you liked it 🥺 thank you so much!
