Fucking killer game. Great art, raw writing. Having seen just the text version, I'm seriously impressed by how much you make the game pop off the screen with the puppet show. You do a great job adding in technical flourishes that really make things stand out. Fantastic and fun piece thank you both for sharing.

An astonishing piece of art. You have an incredible range when it comes to writing. Not only does each VN you've made have it's own consistent overarching narrative texture, but each character that exists within that texture has a unique and true to humanity feeling. I respect that tremendously. More than just texture, you write incredibly gripping, punchy stories. These are real people, I'm looking through a window watching all this happen.

The sound effect imitation through-line was wonderful, a peak into the innocence Deirdre desired, playing toys in her mind. Kenzie pointing out Deirdre's peculiar manner of speech in particular I enjoyed, and recognized. Arriving from a similar background, from page 1 Deirdre's literary, dry, cold and yet evocative speaking was familiar.

On top of that, the audio/visual language of this game was incredibly tight. The stationary aspect sold the close-distance. The lack of musicality combined with the crushing drone that most of the ambience possessed felt so in line with the smothering nature Big Sky Country. Completely enveloping and annnihilatory. In a sense, exactly like what Deirdre needed/desired. The character designs were wonderful, the colour more vivid on the little sister, the face torn from the girlfriend, ecstatic flourishes all throughout. 

Amazing. Several points left me breathless, I had to take a pause. Absolutely fucking amazing. Thank you both for making, and sharing this work.

I quite enjoyed this. You have a very strong sense of prosody and the lyricality of words, and you put that sense to good use. Very evocative writing. Thank you for sharing.

Very fun read. Mala's art as always has such a wonderful texture to it. I also enjoyed the way violence was reframed for the Nikko. Thank you both for sharing.

there is not

Extremely impressive. The visual style is satisfyingly consistent. The hold em sections tie into the story. The writing is stellar in that it situates itself into the time period effortlessly. Delightfully snide nipping between the characters. Thank you for sharing.

Really fucking awesome use of visuals and theming. Love the writing, you're especially skilled at packing venom into words.

thank you for the kind words, im very glad you found the toxicity you were looking for. if you seek further toxicity, i recommend one of the other judge games FAITHLESS//FLAGELLANT, as well as my entry to the jam, WISHBLEED. 

wow, thank you very much for the kind words

hello. i published my game on 7/16/2025 however it has not yet been indexed. it has received a number of downloads and ratings.  i read the getting indexed page and seem to meet all the criteria. is it possible to have my game indexed? thanks.

Your art is tremendously compelling as always, extremely expressive and emotional. you have a knack for honing in on the essence of a feeling and conveying it through your linework. the music was great, and the story was very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.

thank you for the kind words.

Suffocating, controlling, hopeless, delicious. This game is fucking terriric. Great use of the medium to convey its central feelings. Several times through reading I couldn't keep myself from making some sort of exclamation. I adored watching the doll come to terms, to be made to come to terms with, the way the rest of its life will be. I'm always impressed with the games you make, and the fact that you made this in barely 6 days is boggling. You communicated your emotions so clearly. Thank you for sharing, Nadia.

Wow, this was amazing. The art, the music, the direction. It all comes together very well. I love the gui, the way you presented this. a very engaging story, cool setting. thank you for sharing.

Tremendous. The music and art were wonderful. The writing was engaging, its prose serving both purpose and entertainment. The subject matter and its execution were delightful. Several times through-out I found myself making exclamations, rarely does something affect me so strongly. Thank you very much for sharing.

thank you for the kind words. good luck luring in your own big sister.

I enjoyed this, the art was adorable, supplying no shortage of cuteness aggression. The flow of the writing was engaging and had its share of flourishes that impressed me. the subject matter was nostalgic to say the least, having indulged in things like ben drowned and marble hornets etc during the earlier years of the internet. very good, thank you for sharing.

A really wonderful experience that played to the strengths of the creators. Messy, brutal, overwhelming and mundane feelings. i was very impressed with how cohesive everything felt, and how engaging the writing was. thank you for sharing.

Much like Margaret, this was very well put together. The art is great and the styling throughout is both consistent and pleasing. The trainer video interstitials is a lovely touch. The characters play off each other very well and the meat of the story is engaging. I enjoyed this, thank you for sharing.

thank you for the kind words.

Very compelling read. the character design is great, the aesthetic texture of the game is harmonious. the music is good. the medium is utilized well with the way it plays with the text. it ended and i wanted more. I look forward to the rest.

Purely remarkable. I was gripped the entire way through. The medium was thoroughly utilized. Stunning experience, leveraging everyone's talents, that will stay with me for some time. Thank you for sharing.

wow, thank you for your very kind words, im touched.

thank you for the kind words.

thank you for the kind words. years of reading, maybe. years of writing.

WOW. Tremendously enjoyable.

thank you for the kind words, it makes me happy to have tangled someone up as intended. Mary will make sure Ambrose never feels alone again.

thank you very much for the kind words. glad to hear its going to stick with you. ambrose will be, in some sense of the word, happy.

thank you very much for the kind words. ambrose is all tangled up.

This was absolutely delightful. The style of the game is consistent throughout, from the writing to the art to the sound. Very enjoyable, loved Eden. Thank you for sharing.

thank you for the kind words

This was delightful. I adore the inclusion of fashion in your games. Adelaide ruled, loved how firm she was. Emma's desperation to properly take care of Aiyana was delicious, and the way Aiyana responded to it was good. All in all very enjoyable, thank you for sharing.

This was tremendous. Suffused with an aura of perversion, I adored it. The adventurer is perfect, major fan. Beautiful UI put to great use. You went hard with this one, thank you for sharing.

thank you for the kind words, im glad you enjoyed mary's relationship with comfort and control. ambrose is a poor sad little kitten and mary will give her lots of attention.

thank you very much for the kind words, im honoured, throwpup. im glad the knot theming landed, and the work was able to evoke such feelings in you.
