If the game isn't below, start a comment thread. Try to keep to that mini thread to avoid accident spoilers maybe?

Less than an hour. I liked the voice acting. The UI is clean and I played it on my phone. Not usually into yandere at all. Your first and 2nd playthrough give you a clue that something isn't right but I am very bad at clues so I was confused. Once I understood what was going on by the end? I liked it a lot. I don't mind morally grey people ending up with morally grey people. It's kind of fascinating what gets justified. She isn't prey so it's all good again for me. ๐Ÿ˜†

The UI, animations, and voice acting are all very slick. It's impressive they got this done during the jam. I can't say I really enjoyed the story though. The sudden paranomal twist had me completely lose my suspension of disbelief.

@Catch42 I think I'm open to any story so long as it isn't stupid or boring. The villain gave enough hints of a back story to imply they were a different species that could hide themselves in a magical way (cuz clearly physics won't allow for hiding those legs.) The kissing part was a bit over my "blerg" limit but the idea was cool to me.
