It makes me super happy to know that you think that!
I just finished reading through your review :D Thank you so much for writing all that up, it means a lot to me that you'd take the time to review the game in such detail after playing through it <3 I'm really glad you enjoyed it and appreciated all the little details here and there :3
I think I'm a fairly unknown dev still, so I can't even describe how happy I am to see a review that's so positive! I'd love to be able to make this my job at some point because I have many stories to tell, but it's getting harder and harder to acquire assets and such when I'm so poor, haha, so any sort of coverage is a massive help ^-^
I thought the review was structured really well :3 It had all the sort of info I would want to know if I were looking to purchase a game, and I loved some of your funny little side comments! It was just the right sort of length as well.
Oh, and I noticed you mentioned £ in there! Does that mean you're a fellow UK dweller? Haha. Hope you're managing okay in the lockdown and staying safe :3
Well, thank you so much for making such fun and engaging games! Honestly, I've been wanting to review them, and finding this was the perfect way to get into it and I'm happy to review more in the future (in between uni work XD)
Thanks for taking the time out to read it too! I'm glad it's informative and I'd definitely love to see you become a full time creator. Money always seems to be the issue though, but you've done wonders with what you've had so far :3
I am indeed a fellow UK dweller, and dwell is definitely the word to use with everything going on. Hope you're also staying safe and managing in this lockdown too <3
It always means a lot to me to hear from anyone that's played through my stuff! It doesn't take a great deal to sorta knock me down when I see how awesome some of the stuff others are making is, haha. My evil brain starts to tell me that I'm so inferior I should just stop x3 So it's kinda like I'm constantly fighting with myself, trying to beat back the demon that tells me I'm not good enough, and whenever I see some kind words about my projects, it gives me a huge boost towards fighting the negativity demon! So thank you very much :3
I hope you do get the opportunity to write more reviews in the future :D Don't overwork yourself, haha.
Yeah, money is kinda restrictive, unfortunately, and I've always had very little of it xD I'm hoping to try Kickstarter for future projects because, with funding, I'd be able to make stuff the best it can be.
As much as I'm hating the lockdown and the virus situation, I have the original lockdown to thank for finally finishing SR, haha. I just completely buried myself in it to kind of escape reality, working 13 hour days on a regular basis x3 Hang in there! :3
Amazing just like all the other stuff you've made! I love how sweet the story can be while also still having an aspect of creepiness towards it, the designs are amazing as is the VAing.
Super amazing game, I just had to check out your other games ! I really like how you gave the two different gender options, I'd love to see that in the future.
Thank you so much for checking out my stuff + your kind words :3
I'm glad you find the gender options a good feature :D I definitely plan to have them throughout this project each time I'm able to release a new character! I hope to include that sorta thing as much as possible across all my stuff, but sometimes with larger projects it'll be too difficult to implent due to it being too much work in general + too resource-heavy with requiring multiple sprites and voice actors for one character >.<
Thanks for playing + taking the time to comment :3 I'm glad you thought it had an interesting plot!
The reason it's pretty short is cos it was made for a couple of game jams, and while those jams were a month long, I didn't actually have the whole month to work on it >.< I'm not sure exactly how long I had to make this, but it was under 2 weeks anyhow. It's kinda like a sneak peek of things to come really :3 Cos it's now my side project, and I hope to expand on it a lot whenever I have the opportunity :D
Aww, that means a lot to me :3 Thank you very much for playing + taking the time to comment! I'm really glad you enjoyed spending time with Castor :D
As for the music, I'm not 100% certain so I'll have to go check the terms on them, but I think that I'm not allowed to share them outside of the game because they're tracks I've purchased at some point which are allowed for commercial use. A lot of stuff like that usually states that you aren't allowed to upload the tracks anywhere where they can be downloaded as they are >.< I guess because the copyright belongs to the original musical artist, and they're just granting people like me a license to use their stuff in projects. I will try to find out if I'm allowed to share them anyhow!
Aww! Well, I'm glad that you loved it so much :D Makes me super happy to hear that :3 Thanks for taking the time to play + comment! It's much appreciated.
Sadly, I'm not gonna be able to help you much cos this is the first time I've used Unity to make a game >.< I just followed the instructions to make a mac build. I only have access to Windows for testing purposes and I have literally no idea how macs works :( So all I can do is ask around the support forums and see if any other users can give me some idea as to what the issue might be.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything! Sorry I can't be of any immediate help >.<
Thank you either way! I managed to get it to work, I'm not sure how because I cant remember, but there's either a problem with the itch app or something else. Loved the game and hope you make more! x
Well, I'm super glad you managed to get it working + that you enjoyed it :D Sorry I wasn't much help in the end >.< I didn't hear anything back yet regarding support cos I guess people are busy with the holidays, haha.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know though :3
this is really cute even tho i was mostly laughing, i guess yanderes arent my thing but i still really loved it ^^ i hope we get to see more of castor if thats what you plan on :)
Haha, aww, well thanks for checking out the game + taking the time to comment :3 I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I absolutely plan on having more content for Castor when I get more of an opportunity to work on the project :D
this game was incredible! the voice acting and art were superb! i loved both the routes! the music perfectly fit the mood of each scene, too! thank you for this game!
i would actually 100% adore castor/castoria if i played the game they're from, since i'm a sucker for sweet characters, but making them yanderes just made the entire thing even better! thanks a lot for the fun experience!
What version were you playing and do you remember where abouts it happened? :o Like what was going on before it?
I've only been able to test the windows versions and that didn't happen for me when I played through them fully several times. But I only have one PC to test on, so it's possible that stuff might mess up on different screen resolutions and stuff. If I can manage to replicate what happened on my end, then I should be able to find out what the issue is and fix it :3
Also, the textbox is supposed to disappear for a bit in certain parts of the game where it's not required, but clicking is still required to proceed through the scene itself.
I downloaded the game yesturday, so it should be the newest version. And as far as i can remember nothing happened before. as to if it was supposed to happen or not, it was shortle after MC tested if he was awake or not in the kitchen.
Sorry, I should have been clearer when I asked you about the version. I meant was it the Windows, Mac, or Linux one that you downloaded? :3 I only ask cos windows is the only one I can test stuff on cos I don't own a Mac or Linux, unfortunately >.< After the text box disappeared, did it ever come back? Or did it just stay gone for the rest of the game?
Oh, you meant that kinda version. You was actually clear enough about that, It's just me who haven't slept for like 2 nights so my brain is more or less shut down on me.
Well, it's the windows version and I don't know how long the text bos was gone for. I just continued klicking until the background changed back from the kitchen to the bedroom.
So I opened the game again and played up until where I was last time, this time the text box didn't disapear. So yeah, now you know atleast that it can happen
I know the feeling, haha. I quite often go without sleep, especially if I'm working on game jam stuff x3
That's very interesting and confusing that it disappeared on you that time but not the other :o I'll have to ask on the engine support what could possibly cause that cos I have no idea why it would randomly do that >.< Thank you for letting me know about it anyhow! And thanks for playing as well :3
I’m so excited to play this game I played your other game recently “solipsism reigns” and I absolutely loved it! I’m downloading this as soon as I get off work. thank you so much for your contributions to male yandere otome love! 🥰 best Christmas present ever!
Edit: Love the game, I hope to see more content in the future!
Aww, that makes me super happy to hear that you're excited for it :3 I worked my ass off to get it done in time for Christmas, haha. I didn't even sleep last night cos I just figured I would get all the main testing over with. Now I'm kinda exhausted x3 Since it's my first Unity project, there will probably be some unforeseen bugs >.<
I'm really glad you enjoyed SR! I hope that this one isn't a disappointment :3
Thank you so much for all your kind words! They mean a lot to me <3 I will always include some kind of yandere-type content in my projects because I adore the trope and really wanna see more English voiced male yandere characters out there :D
That's so sweet of you :3 Hmm, I think probably straight up through PayPal probably gives me the highest % of a sale or donation! I'm not 100% sure on that though cos I don't get all that many donations to be able to tell, haha. Anything that goes through itch.io means I automatically have to give 30% away in US tax though, sadly :( Even if it's a donation for a free game rather than a payment for a commercial game, 30% tax is still taken. I don't know why it's so high >.< Itch does mention that if your country has some kinda deal with the US and you enter your home country's tax code, you might be allowed a lowered rate, but I'm in the UK and I have no idea if we have a deal. Even if we did, I can't give Itch a tax code because I don't have one. I've never earned enough money in my life to be liable to pay tax >.<
It's possible that just sending a donation via PayPal directly would result in a lot less % being taken away. I'm not sure what their fees are like though. I know my mum makes a lot of sales using that though for her handmade cards and people just pay her using PayPal friends and family. Maybe that's frowned upon on here though, I dunno x3 I think I listed my PP email on my main profile page anyhow :3
Thank you for being so considerate ^-^ I have a feeling that a lot of people probably don't even realise that when they make a donation or payment to a dev that a huge % of it immediately goes to someone else >.< That's never really advertised anywhere.
Merry Christmas! I hope you have a lovely day if you're celebrating :3 Well, even if you're not celebrating I still hope you have a lovely day, haha.
Ok! I'll send something your way as soon as I get paid. Thank you so much for making these lovely games! Please get some rest and enjoy your holiday celebrations! <3
Please don't worry about sending anything unless you're absolutely sure you want to :3
Thank YOU for playing <3 I have incredibly low self-esteem, so any time I hear such lovely comments it really helps a lot to give me a big boost in fighting off that evil part of my brain that tells me nothing I do is good enough :3

This is honestly another great visual novel in your collection! I actually tried to write a review on it for my blog, so if you wanted to check it out, here it is - https://myonettesilver.wixsite.com/geekishblog/post/review-time-darling-duality
(I apologise if it's not that great, I'm still getting into the swing of reviewing)

Aww, thanks so much for your kind words :3 I'm really glad you like it!
I do love me some cute and creepy combos, haha :D
I really hope I'm able to turn this into a full game with many more characters at some point!
Super amazing game, I just had to check out your other games ! I really like how you gave the two different gender options, I'd love to see that in the future.

Interesting plot and good art but I really was expecting something longer...

Seriously, this is one of the most unique games I've ever played! Castor was exactly the type of character I LOVE. Thank you so much!
P.S. Is there any way to find these awesome soundtracks online?
Aww, that means a lot to me :3 Thank you very much for playing + taking the time to comment! I'm really glad you enjoyed spending time with Castor :D
As for the music, I'm not 100% certain so I'll have to go check the terms on them, but I think that I'm not allowed to share them outside of the game because they're tracks I've purchased at some point which are allowed for commercial use.

Aww! Well, I'm glad that you loved it so much :D Makes me super happy to hear that :3 Thanks for taking the time to play + comment! It's much appreciated.
Some help?
I tried downloading both mac versions of the game, but I can't seem to open either, saying "The application “Mac” can’t be opened."
When i checked the contents, there was no terminal file to open it that way- maybe thats why, it kept asking me to get setapp which it shouldnt
Hey there! Thanks for checking out the game :3
Sadly, I'm not gonna be able to help you much cos this is the first time I've used Unity to make a game >.< I just followed the instructions to make a mac build.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind it if they were just sweet, haha, but I'm a sucker for yandere characters x3
I love your games so much!! Can’t wait to finish this game!!!
Aww, that makes me super happy to hear <3 Thanks for taking the time to say so :3 Hope you enjoy it!
The text window disapered for me and when I was klicking it was like the game continiued like nothing was wrong
