This game was brilliant. A real gut punch, I have never felt so bad for a ghost before; seeing their perspective of being used as an attraction that has been dramatised for fun and how they ended up acting scary as a result was saddening.


Ying is a great guy, and the ghost's story was really amazing, the last part with the cg, letter and music was very powerful

Thank you! I'm glad the game left an impression! ^^

Ying is really pretty ;a;
He has such a cute design! Being able to see him at the end was very nice: it made all the build-up feel worthwhile.

This was a really sweet VN; thank you for making it!

Hehe~ I love Ying's design a lot, too!

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This was a really nice story! I'm super partial to stories about ghosts crossing over, plus I instantly love characters that are kind, like your exorcist character. The bonus scene added a surprising bit of depth to him, too. He feels like someone I could have a conversation with.

Oh, gosh, I was not expecting for my eyes to get so moist from this 💦 I WAS FINE UP UNTIL THE MUSIC STARTING PLAYING. THEN I STARTED TO LOSE IT. GOD.

Oh, geez, though, this was just... this was so lovely. I loved how you formatted the dialogue and text in this -- despite having nothing but blackness on the screen, we can tell immediately what's going on, the different types of dialogue and narration. It was so unique and clever?? Also the shapes and sizes of dialogue bubbles were a lot of fun and really gave the text a lot of personality somehow.

I loved the story?? I'm admittedly a huge sucker for watching shows and vids about haunted places, so I enjoyed this right off the bat. Also poor Payton being subjugated to all those annoyances when all they'd been trying to do was be nice LOL The grumbling complaints made me laugh a lot, especially when they talked about the random little things they'd do to assuage the visitors' curiosity hahaha.

I like how it starts to change in tone the moment Ying comes and you can just tell it's different. And then the build-up to Payton's past and the baseball and the letter... it was all just so well done and really hit me in the feels. AND THEN THE GORGEOUS CG. It was such a beautiful way to end the story and incredibly moving.

I think I got the extra scene??? I tried to play out all the different options in the choices and had it end three times, and then I played the "good" one again and it felt like I got some additional lines at the end, but I wasn't sure lakdjfasd AT ANY RATE. This was really really beautiful and sweet and I loved it a lot!! ALSO I REALLY LIKE YING'S DESIGN AND WANT TO SEE HIM IN MORE STUFF?? AND KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM??? I feel like a VN following him around would be really cool ldakjfad 💕

adskjfj omg Carrot!! I'm glad this made you tear up-- I mean, I'm sorry and here are tissues!! Thank you so much for the detailed comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed the game!!

I've been testing word bubble GUI for other games so I figured I'd do a trial run for a published game here [: I'm glad the build up worked out well! At first I wanted to do something comedic, but somehow I ended up going for a bittersweet story~

Yep, the extra scene will appear once you get all endings and replay the good route! 

Ying will definitely appear in more stories! He's the main character of a universe I built just for him, after all! I can't wait to show off Ying's full design, Seu's creativity is incredible!

That was a nice short story!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Omg, this was so good and when that music hit AND THEN that beautiful CG -- AH! I got hit in the feels. They better get a happily ever after in the afterlife, reincarnation, wherever <33

(I also hope we get to see the exorcist again! He had such a cool design and I got so intrigued with the little background we got from him!)

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game!!

You will certainly see the exorcist again [: He's an important character in many stories!
