My friend recommended me this game, and I'm not disappointed.
Graphic is fantastic! I adore Dahlia design, especially when she's happy or angry. Huxley looks magnificent when he's breaking the 4th wall in the 1st ending.
Music is well-matched! My fav track is that one from the Title Screen - "The Good News or the Bad News".
I just wish it was longer, I wish there were more to do.
First off, I watched this with my wife when Manlybadasshero ran it. I've never in my life been a fan of visual novels, but this one had me hooked. We've been theorizing so much afterwards and my wife makes fun of me since I adore Huxley.
Second off, my god I can't wait for your updates and I've already been working on fanart (and naturally fussing over whether it's good enough or not).
Finally, does Huxley only have arms up to his elbow or to his wrists? When he's in some scenes, it seems it's to the elbow, but the parts where he throws his arms up, it seems like it's at the wrist?
I'm happy that you liked it so much! As for Huxley, his arms only go up to the elbow. When drawing his head covering sprites, I pictured it as his sleeves flopping up over his head rather than him holding them there.
I loved your game it was amazing, my favorite part was storyline and the multiple endings. I was wondering what kind of updates you have planned for the game. Are you planning on adding new endings to the game or perhaps some new characters to the game? Or are planning to create a spinoff with a new cast of toys with the same toymaker?
I know this game was supposed to be a favorite choosing type novel. I wanted to do more with both of them, though this will never happen, im just sharing my opinion in a sea of thousands of others.
I love your game! I was watching a play-through of it. I plan on possibly getting it! But I had more of an idea- or at least a thought? I love the designs of the dolls-especially Huxley! I would love to know how you think he would've been made so fans can recreate him (meaning me XD), or if you plan on selling merch? Huxley is absolutely adorable!
I already gushed about it in my review before getting down this far, but you've hooked me, mate. Dahlia and the way she'd been manipulated by the owner over time really hit home and I'm still crying about it XD.
Hii! Huge fan, anyways, do you guys plan on keeping the game as-is or do you update it? Also I feel like this should be more popular, I love to look at things I like and there’s only so much of this!
Thanks! I plan to add an update to the game to include the content that I cut for the sake of my deadline. So there will be a bit more to it in the future!
And Huxley's hair is a a sort of blue-grey! Like Steel Blue.
There are! I have more to add to the game as an update and since I will need to rework the GUI for the game menus to be usable on a mobile device, I'll be waiting to upload an android version until the whole update is complete. So it will be a bit of a wait, but when it's done it will have everything I didn't get to add in the initial release.
This visual novel has such a nice art style and the characters have their own special personalities and I love it! I also like how this visual novel is longer than the last one I played. Can't wait to read and see more!
Watched a Lets-Play and am hopelessly in love with this game (even with my slow broken PC I'll probably play it myself when I have the chance). It explores the kind of questions you might ask when watching Toy Story when you're older and I adore it, Dahlia even reminds me of Black Friday Woody now that I think about it. I know it was made for a game jam but I would love to see it updated in the future. Definitely looking forward to your future projects. 👍
very unique concept! I enjoyed this game a lot. ended up having way stronger feelings on these characters than I expected to lol. even though I didn't like her I want to know more about Dahlia and her past relationships for sure. If further content gets made I'll check it out for sure and I'm sure others will too!
I downloaded this game because of my friend having told me about it! I absolutely adore it. I love the concept of living dolls and the questions they raise. It really hits on talks of mental health, dysfunction, all with a neat bow on three, adorable toys!!
I absolutely loved Huxley in the game and reminds me of how i am in general. I tend to be realistic and very self reliant not because i see inadequacy in other but because you CANT rely on others to fill you with validation or purpose. No one can do that for you because theyre not you! Unfortunately it does tend to come from a very tired perspective because of the experiences one had to go through to reach that type of mindset to begin with so I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the choices you made for Huxley~
And dahlia reminded me of how i used to be. And its very gut wrenching to see how things couldve metaphorically happened if i stayed that way! Unfortunately yeah i ended up hating her but i think i was supposed to. I loved her design and how real it felt tho!
You made these characters feel VERY real and it PERSONALLY resonated with myself and how ive matured as a person and also being given an insight as to HOW unhealthy behaviours such as codependency can affect oneself that was present in Dahlia can most often lead to such uh... "Circumstances."
8/10
Because it could definitely use a TINY bit more cgs but as an artist myself i can imagine the workload so im happy that the stuff we got is ALREADY THIS GOOD!
Absolutely loved the game, it peeked my curiosity to the point that i checked the games files and i wanted to know. Is there a secret, well hidden 3rd/4th ending or are there really just 2?
Right now there are just 1a and 1b, and 2a and 2b. They're numbered this way because the only difference between them is at the end of the route. I do have plans for one more route in an update though!
This was SO good!! The character design and the writing was amazing. I only had time to get to one ending (and it wasn't a particularly happy one) but I'm excited to get back into it and see what else there is in store
The entire time Huxley was my favorite, but I wanted so badly for a "they're both you favorite" or a "whiskers is the best" option and idk why- also I kinda hate the owner even tho you play as the owner- they're just mean lol
I love this game, but the fact of there being no good ending makes me sad. I hope this gets expanded on more in the future. Can't wait to see what's next!

Keep up the friggen amazing work.

Hello! The PC version is for both Windows and Linux. Please let me know if you have any trouble!
Please add a fifth ending where the owner gets their just desserts. ty
Hey i saw manly play this
I love this game. I usually don't comment on these but this good
Hi, it was really worth the try. I divided this "body horror" and "murder" visual novel into three parts:
The Beginning
Dahlia's the favourite
Huxley's the favouriteI loved your game it was amazing, my favorite part was storyline and the multiple endings. I was wondering what kind of updates you have planned for the game. Are you planning on adding new endings to the game or perhaps some new characters to the game? Or are planning to create a spinoff with a new cast of toys with the same toymaker?

Hello, i am Hayden, i in my fiction am Dahlia's cousin, she also had the same last name as me (Kaufman)
For future updates here are the newest characters
I will do art of them,
I found out that the game has no cross words in it.
I already gushed about it in my review before getting down this far, but you've hooked me, mate. Dahlia and the way she'd been manipulated by the owner over time really hit home and I'm still crying about it XD.
Hii! Huge fan, anyways, do you guys plan on keeping the game as-is or do you update it? Also I feel like this should be more popular, I love to look at things I like and there’s only so much of this!
Also, what color is Huxley’s hair? I can’t quite tell.
Thanks! I plan to add an update to the game to include the content that I cut for the sake of my deadline. So there will be a bit more to it in the future!

Hello is their any plans on porting this to android?
There are! I have more to add to the game as an update and since I will need to rework the GUI for the game menus to be usable on a mobile device, I'll be waiting to upload an android version until the whole update is complete. So it will be a bit of a wait, but when it's done it will have everything I didn't get to add in the initial release.
I see thank you for the reply good luck on the port and god bless.
Love it, i dont know what else to say but yeah
This visual novel has such a nice art style and the characters have their own special personalities and I love it! I also like how this visual novel is longer than the last one I played. Can't wait to read and see more!
Great visual novel. It all came together.
At first I had my doubts but when I got all sides of the story I was hooked. Well done!
Thanks! And ooh thanks for sharing the video too! I love seeing my stuff get analyzed haha.
It was a pleasure to share on an awesome mind bend subject ^_^

I loved this horror visual novel, even if i dont like visual novels that much.
Very amazing story, very amazing artstyle.
One small issue, wheres the wisker route smh (/j)

Thank you very much for replying and answering my curiosity, have a splendid day!
This was SO good!! The character design and the writing was amazing. I only had time to get to one ending (and it wasn't a particularly happy one) but I'm excited to get back into it and see what else there is in store
I know,it's such a fun visual novel! XD
I couldn't agree more!!
The entire time Huxley was my favorite, but I wanted so badly for a "they're both you favorite" or a "whiskers is the best" option and idk why- also I kinda hate the owner even tho you play as the owner- they're just mean lol
same,the owner was mean ;w;
LMAO "dahlia remains the favorite"
"Huxley is winning me over.."
" frick it whiskers is the best"
EXACTLY LIKE-
can we get a endings where the owner gets a "f*** you and gets killed by the toys?
Or they could say "don't toy with me." Then they somehow murder the owner
(THIS IS A JOKE, BUT IT WOULD BE COOL IG)
that's...actually a cool idea!
In the future do you think you'll release this for linux?
I love this game, but the fact of there being no good ending makes me sad. I hope this gets expanded on more in the future. Can't wait to see what's next!
we need huxley and dahlia to flip off (middle finger) the owner ending.
and maybe even whisker XD
LMAO I'M IMAGINING THAT.
this game made me take my toys out of my box and hug then tightly ... good job :^)
hopefully, in the near future there'll be a good ending for both routes! really enjoyed this game.
a ending where they say "Frick you" To the owner.
I-this game is just too.....
GOOD!
like the story the characters, the designs just wonderful
I know! It's so amazing even if it's a bit short for me XD
make it so that i can burn dahlia and make bbq out of her instead of lying and saying shes my favorite in order to get an ending
I honestly wish we could take Dahlia out of the house or something, that'd be an interesting ending. Perhaps a "replaced" ending?👀
