Dejando de lado el picante (que me encantó, 100/10, qué rico xd), la escritura, la historia y los temas que tocó, como lo de la apariencia y sentirse fuera de lugar, me encantaron. Me gustó mucho cómo lo manejaron, porque pegaron fuerte. Estuvieron muy bien dirigidos y, además, lloré, ¡sí!, lloré un poquito. Fue una sensación muy cálida... ¡Lo amé simplemente!
Muchas gracias por esta maravillosa experiencia. Y DIOS, la escritura me encantó. Estaré esperando pacientemente las actualizaciones. De nuevo, muchas gracias, y espero que estén bien y disfrutando la creación de este maravilloso juego.💕
WOOOW just WOW! The writing is wonderful, sprites are beautiful and Mark is a starrrrr!! I enjoyed this so much! Now I want to draw his fan art hehe <3 And I loved the themes that were brought up here - thank you for your hard work!
Are you able to do android version if that's okii:3
It's being worked on currently! <3 Should be out probably sometime in July.
Okiee tysmm ill waittt !!^^
not a fan of this much body hair but the rest is just.... bites lip..... chefs kiss
okey me dolió un poco cuando la mc dijo que es vieja con sus ojeras y canas cuando yo tengo eso y apenas voy a cumplir 21
Ahh, love the voice and love the mature view of just appreciating what is no matter what happens
THIS GAME WAS SO SPICY AND I LOVED IT!!
omg! Listened to this while at work and it had me smiling and laughing so much! There is an expansion to the game in case you’d didn’t know.And yes the streamer version just censors the NSFW images 🙈 thank you for all the laughs, and for playing at all. (You shouldn’t be banned 🤣)
Is their a possibility to release it in android? 💀🥹 I really wanna play I've been desperate but I can't download it on Android
We will have an Android version; it's in the works as we speak. Keep in mind, it will also be $3 like the expansion. We appreciate your eagerness to play.
i just finished the game (og + DLC) - omg i love a consent king & him being such a lover boy had me giggling and blushing. the NSFW art was just chef's kiss (monster fuckers unite). thank you for the food and for making this game!!! i look forward to more of your work!
the expansion has me giggling and kicking my feet. amazing work as always!
OMG just played it the second time and bought the DLC expansion and it was truly romantic and beautiful. All of you done a wonderful job with the project. And the best part, Im 100 percent doing a Fanfiction based on this Gem of yours. I hope all of you have a wonderful and amazing day and new projects to create in the future.
Carrick has me absolutely FERAL he's so respectful and kind and also hot-
HELL yeaa,, i love the obsessed <3
this was so good pls make moree i need more
DAMNNN WAS THIS SPICY! As a 35 year old who's stressing about not being married and having kids and all that good stuff despite not necessarily needing those things, this was super cathartic to read. Thank you!! Here's to hoping a few Carricks exist out there for real :p
DAWG i cried, this game is so sweet!!!
This is so very...rawr. The only problem is that its so short haha I'd love a story behind
GoliathCarrick.Very good!
<3
Great to see a story where the main character isn't a teenager or under 25. It's nice to have some representation for those of us that can remember the 2000s. A very lovely read, and I enjoyed the themes and artwork immensely.
wonderfully written. I am a sucker for short but sweet stories but this really takes the cake.
The tension, the consent checks and the voice acting?? CHEFS KISS!
I hope more stories are like this. Mature and wholesome!
Very very very good.
I am in love.
Hello, can you add a button not to show the CG NSFW?
There is a streamer version that doesn’t display the NSFW CG’s.
oh thank u!! i didn't notice sry
No worries 💖
absolutamente perfeito sai apaixonada pelo Carrick
Loooooved it! I love gargoyles/grotesques as art and as characters, and this feels like someone reached into my head and put my chaotic daydreams into actual words and story. Someone who really gets the appeal! His kisses tasting like cool, fresh water?? PERFECTION.
<3 Gorgeous art, a good salt-of-the-earth MC with solid and practical opinions on things. All in all, a very good time - art, writing, music, and all the details very come together very cohesively and make for a wonderful presentation.
I don't remember if I already wrote a comment, but oh my goodness....I needed to fan myself while playing this game. The art was fantastic, and the gargoyle was luscious in both of their forms. Of course the voice actor was an excellent choice. I really appreciate an older MC and how respectful the dialogue was. Keepin' it real.
Hot character design, long hair for the win. Also appreciate them being older 🙏
Would love to see more of their interactions in those years before they got together, that'd be super sweet. Or Carricks' POV 👀 (just thinking about them, no pressure for additional content or anything)
I love this. You never see a mature romance in media anymore one where both partners are mature and know what they want in a partner. its always a will they won't they but Carric doen't beat around the bush and reviles himself so that the MC makes an fully informed consent to being with him. CONSENT IS SEXY! i loved this.
FOR FREE?????????????????
I see hot Gargoyle man, I'm in. But on a serious note I adore the game and the voice acting . Ya'll done a great job. Kinda gives me beauty and beast vibes in a way but more mature and spicy.
Will there be an a android mobile users version, Pretty pretty Please? >.<
OMGGGG I’m absolutely in love with this game, I refuse to accept that it’s so short, I need more!!!! Carrick was everything I wanted without even knowing I wanted it, having a romance with a gargoyle??? This will haunt me even in my dreams, I swear to God. I loved his art, and the VA is simply breathtaking—I got chills just listening. So, well done! <3
LOL I meant to post this as a comment but I'm an itch noob LOL
OMG. The art, the writing, the voice.... The voice especially caught me off guard LMAO. The sexy scenes with the voice... my old maid(en) heart can't take it LOL. I had to turn off the sound. Not because it was bad, but because it was too good.... ehuehuehue.
Highly recommend!!!
Hot guy.
But chest-hair....yuck!
(Body-hair in general: yuck.)
But each to their own I suppose...
He's a little trigger-happy with showing his true self tho.
Most people would wait until they've secured the love of the person they want before doing that. Least they scare them away.
Would YOU share your darkest side with someone who doesn't truly know you or care for you?
(And it makes for a better story as well when they do, allowing the MC to grapple with the slightly scary fact, and questioning what she thought she knew about him.)
I also notice they get intimate way too fast, and you never get a choice to say yes or no.
I realize that it is the premise of the game, but I still prefer a choice.
And moving THAT quickly removes any chance of suspense or sexual tension --not to mention it blind-sights you as it comes out of nowhere.
I've seen this in (bad) fanfiction, but never in a visual novel.
Not to this degree at least.
Is there some word limit that pushed the rushed part of the story or something?
It's a hot, but short story.
It's not a bad story in and of itself, but it feels rushed.
I think it would have been better if it was longer, and the romance more dragged out and natural.
PEAK ROMANCE YIPPEE
So, turns out I've got a thing for stone statues, who knew? :)
Amazing, loved it. We need more erotic otome with voice acting. Thank you for quenching my thirst.
This was great! Holycow! It was the perfect lead-up, development - just enough to keep you guessing and/or wanting more. Carrick and the MC were great, their development, pacing, chemistry, all of it. His voice was perfect, to boot. And the CGs did not disappoint. However unfortunate, this was also incredibly relatable as an aging woman, so I found myself echoing a lot of the same thoughts, reactions, feelings. It was a great mix of reality and fantasy, for sure. This was all put together so well - I loved every minute, every second!
Thank you so much to the team for making this game!!!
It washed my soul, because I watched a cartoon that had a group of gargoyles with protagonists and a human too, but I thought the leader of the group was hot and kind.😏❤
Like Carrick!!! I hope there isn't a single person who wants him only as a sex toy, he is too sweet and affectionate to be reduced to just that! 😡
