what a great game!! it was short and sweet but i actually grew really attached to our partner! regardless of what the "truth" is, they really do love deeply, and that was conveyed so well
Firstly, thanks so much for playing the game :3 And as for an explanation post, tbh, Iād never thought of making one x3 I guess cos it was made in under a week and it was the 2nd game I ever made, it just didnāt really occur to me to include anything like that at the time >.<
I think I mightāve answered a few questions in older comments though when asked about what inspired the game and the different motivations of the character, but I never actually made a proper post about it >.<
Nowadays, I try to include stuff like that within the extras sections of my games. I would like to remake this one at some point since itās so old and clunky, so maybe if I ever get around to remaking it with Naninovel, Iāll try to include something like that in the extras :3
The short answer though is that the game was inspired by something I learned about at the time called Capgras Syndrome. Itās something quite rare that makes the person believe that their loved ones have been replaced by doubles/impostors. So that was where the idea for it started.
SPOILERS
Thatās not the definitive reason for the characterās behaviour though, as I prefer to leave stuff like that up for interpretation x3 Thatās why there are a couple of endings in there that lean more towards the husband/wife actually being right in their belief rather than it being a delusion.
I dont remember ifd i writed a comment so NICE GAME that all. I absolutely love to be a bad guy in games so your game is perfect for me pls do more of this i beg youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 10/10
Glad you had fun with it :3 Thanks for checking it out! Definitely gotta get round to remaking it someday now that Iām using a different engine! Hopefully, I can make it less clunky, haha.
Ah, man, well, that sucks >.< I guess it probably doesnāt help that the game is pretty old now. I donāt even use the same engine to make stuff anymore x3 But still, I donāt really know much about wine, so maybe even if I remade it in the engine I use now, it might still not work :( Thanks for checking the project out though! :3
yeah, im trying to think of an idea for a game about being trans but its pretty difficult, i just appreciate the fact that there are games about being lgbtqia+!
It really is incredible how many lgbtqia+ games there are, especially indie games :3 Actually, Iām probably too late to say this now, but have you heard of the Queer Games Bundle before? It has a huuuuge range of indie games that are made by queer developers and while not every single game in the bundle is specifically focused on lgbtqia+ stuff, a lot of them are :3 If you didnāt know about it and itās too late to buy it (I think it ended the other day, unfortunately >.<) you can still always browse what was in it to see if you might like to check any of them out cos some of them in there are free like mine ^-^ You can find it here: https://itch.io/b/1812/queer-games-bundle-2023-with-10-option
Thatās whatās so beautiful about the indie dev scene, the fact that devs are so diverse and can make games about anything :3 My games arenāt really about being lgbtqia+ but I always do my best to be as inclusive as I can. For example, I tend to write my characters with no particular gender or sexuality in mind, including the protagonist, so that I can then give players the option to choose a masculine or feminine voice for their love interests if the game features romance :D That way, you can play as whatever you want to play as, and youāre free to choose what type of relationship you want to pursue.
I mean I guess that depends on each individual person x3 If someone were asking me personally, I'd say no xD based on the fact that I adore horror, consume a lot of it in many forms, and generally don't find any video games or movies to be scary, haha.
Then there's the fact that this game is psychological horror, so whether or not it creeps a person out really depends on how unnerved they get by that sorta thing. Cos it's not got jump scares and mega gore or anything. Some people find psychological horror terrifying, and others aren't phased by it at all x3 So yeah, what might be super scary to one person could be totally tame to someone else. I suppose that's the joy of the horror genre in general :D
Woo! Thanks so much for playing ^-^ So glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly, there's a lot more than that which could have been done better really x3 including the UI appearance in general, haha. It was all very rushed since it was made in just under a week, and it definitely shows x3 I had hoped to remake it at some point in the engine that I use nowadays cos that would help with some of the clunky issues from the old engine + I could make it look a bit better aesthetically overall now that I have a lot more experience making games! The trouble is that there is never enough time to do everything I'd like to T_T haha.

Will there ever be a story explained post? I played the game a while back and wanted to know why the husband acted the way he did

ohhhh thank u for your reply(ĖµĀÆĶć°ĀÆĶĖµ)sorry i forgot to check the message you send me,its been a long time
Got all 5 endings, and loved the game. The title screen was super nice and the VAs from both male and female sides were great.
A few things that could have done better would have been skippable fades, and title screen animation.
Woo! Thanks so much for playing ^-^ So glad you enjoyed it!
