Wonderfully made game featuring two repugnant leads <3 loved reading the behind the scenes pdf about the process!! I look forward to more games from you all!
First off I need to say I adore the presentation here! The character designs are very nice.
I love how disgusting I found Satsuki but also the reveal of what Urara is also really like was so fun and deeply twisted. It's so fun when people are so unhealthily entangled with each other. They basically melt into each other until the boundaries are blurred in the worst parts. The POV switching is so good and reminds me of a novella I LOVE that's just a rape scene from two povs where the victim reacts as you might expect but the one committing the assault believes they're completely consenting. Making progress in the game as things continue to unravel and unravel more or less gave me a stomachache. there's no other way it could have ended for these two but it still brought me a lot of pain.
I'm also a huge fan of hellscreen so the references to that truly made my day
im glad that their mutual shittiness towards each other was conveyed properly! i got the suggestion from kuruma to make this game with pov switching, so im also really glad on trying something new and having it be received well :3
i quite love hellscreen too, so i'm glad someone else enjoyed the references i made to it :)
wanted to leave a comment that isn't just stuck in discord
both satsuki and urara's view of god is wrong. god is a schrodinger's cat of sorts, his existence can be true and false at the same time. satsuki uses her nihilistic worldview to enable and have control over urara, while urara denies the question altogether in an effort to avoid confronting her true nature until it reaches a boiling point
their attempts to face such a cruel and heartless world, to face their own nature, is a form of self destruction i'm sure a lot of people are trapped in. it's a tragedy. thank you to the team for making such a game
the two of them share a similarly nihilistic worldview to a world that rejects them, and the both of them are dishonest towards each other and themselves. i'm glad you picked up that it's about self destruction!
and thank you so much for the kind words and reading!! :)
kind of a half-formed ramble but god, seeing urara's true nature unfold with satsuki enabling (or maybe its more accurate to say revealing?) her worst thoughts felt so suffocating. it really felt like satsuki's 'solution' to pascal's wager was haunting over urara the entire game and that urara was unable to understand or come to terms with that line of thinking despite (or maybe because of) having a strange worship/hate relationship with her.
TnS/subahibi references were also very fun. haven't read kierkegaard's either/or, so i cant say anything on that front. but in a way, i can see how TnS/subahibi's philosophy may have influenced the 'pascal's wager doesn't matter' philosophy satsuki has. the surreal denpa presentation coupled with the way she explains it makes a really disquieting atmosphere, like being pushed out into open space without any tether.
