Really beautiful game, the tone is so captivating I love the mix of moody and light hearted moments. The art too is amazing, the style is so distinct and appealing <33
A short but fun gameplay, I loved it and the feeling of throwing yourself into a destroyed world and coming out of it with relationships and thoughts of a promising future transpiring in the interaction of the characters is incredible.
I'm a mess... It's maybe a little evil, I guess, of me to write all of this down, but, genuinely, this game is so beautiful. Playing through it, at first, I thought it'd... really make me feel unsatisfied. I always think that going for the bad ending first is the way you should play games with multiple endings, so I went for that first! And they all made me feel, extremely empty, longing, and unhappy. I was almost expecting the game to not live up to any expectations I set for it, but, obviously the bad endings aren't what we're supposed to settle for, right?
This story is just... It's probably corny for me to say it, but it's really perfect, from my own point of view. Everything about it. It feels really ridiculous for me to say it, but Nami's writing is always so perfectly in tune with what I want to read and feel, I guess. The art, of course, is fucking excellent, too. The music, as well, is just so effective in fitting into the story. All of the character designs, all of the set dressing, all of the production value, and all of the writing... It all adds up to a really stellar experience. I really fucking love it!!!!
Of course, I'm just one person, and so my own point of view may not be worth all that much, but, as far as the two experiences made from this collaboration go, it's just.... I'm really happy these two experiences were made, y'know? Maybe I'm being too sentimental, but the writing, between the two of the stories released, are just so fricking special to me, as somebody who feels like a bit of a nightmare of a person a lot of the time. Between Issa and Mell... the message delivered from this story just really touches upon a lot of things I, personally, really spend too much time thinking about on a day-to-day basis. Between asexuality, trusting people you don't know, allowing relationships to form, and just... allowing yourself to feel happy, despite sometimes being an awful person at times, it's.... so resonant with this specific person, with this specific bundle of experiences. It's really fricking perfect, y'know? I hope that's worth as much as it can be.
I don't know how much a review like this is really worth, though, but.... Thank you!!! For making this!!! I don't know if, in the future, I'll really be able to let my interpretation of the message of this game and Mermaid Splash sink into me, but... after finishing this game, I feel really happy and somewhat validated, y'know? There's absolutely no doubt about that, in this moment. I sincerely hope that this messy comment bestows an amount of my feelings unto its artists, despite its severe messiness. Thank you!
I love this game with all of my heart! the bad ending made me cry so much while on the other hand the true ending made me cry with happiness instead of sadness like the bad ending. I've gotten all of the endings and overall true ending will and forever be my favourite! I really thought this game would be more of a kind of a hateful kind of game where with all the endings would be sad, but I was definitely wrong and I'm so happy that I am wrong. this couldn't have been any better I absolutely love it!
This was one of the best games that I have ever played. The story was very interesting, also this game gave me an idea for a game.
The game idea that this game gave me somehow was an idea for a horror game, but unfortunately I can't really make the game that I have the idea for. After all, I might get a good idea, but when it comes down to me making the storyline for the game, it sucks, but I can easily make a basic summary of what the game would be like.
The basic summary of the game I have an idea for:
Start Prologue: The game starts off in a room, where the protagonist is crying, you can barely see her, but you can see that she is covered in blood. In the background you can hear police sirens and the red and blue flashing lights can be seen getting closer to the house through the windows. Then a few seconds after the police sirens cut off you can hear knocking at the front door and a man yells, "This is the police, we need to talk to whomever is inside!"
Then you see a light peering in through a window and you hear a different male's voice say, "Hay, Sergeant!! There looks to be blood inside and someone on the ground! What should we do!?"
Then you barely hear a female voice say, "Make entry into the building, with caution, as we don't know what could lurk out."
Then you hear someone kick the door open, then a rush of light floods in through the door and several police officers cautiously rush in. Then in the matter of moments the protagonist is arrested on the account of manslaughter. End Prologue
Start Chapter 1: A month goes by and then her trial begins, by the end of the trial the judge and jury finds the protagonist not guilty on the accounts of self-defense. So then she was released from police custody. End Chapter 1
Start Chapter 2: It is the protagonist's first day of high school (she is in the 9th grade), but it has been about 2 months since school had started. However, due to the arrest thing she missed the first day of school. As school went on, the protagonist's classmates avoided her, but one day something happened that caused a girl named Melony to start to hang around with the protagonist. Stuff happens and Melony gets kidnaped by someone. End Chapter 2
Start Chapter 3: The protagonist searches for Melony, she eventually finds Melony. However, Melony is injured with cut marks all over her body, but still alive. Looking into Melony's eyes the protagonist can tell that Melony wants to die. After finding her the protagonist unties Melony and the protagonist puts Melony into an embrace of relief. End Chapter 3
Start Chapter 4: With Melony, the protagonist leaves the building and takes Melony back to her place. At the protagonist's house, she lays down Melony on the bed and then she goes and gets a first aid kit. Then she goes and patches up all the wounds on Melony. Then a few more things happen. End chapter 4
The basic summary of the game I have an idea for, End
I wanted at least 12 chapters, but I couldn't think of anything to put in the other 8 chapters. However, the prologue should take at least 20-30 minutes to get through. Plus, each chapter should take at least 30 minutes to 2 hours to get through. So, the gameplay of the prologue and the 4 chapters should take at least 2 hours 20 minutes to 8 hours 30 minutes to play through.
I don't know why I told you about this idea of mine.
Hey! I'm here from a recommendation, but am having trouble opening the game. I am using Windows, and am not sure what to click to open the game after I downloaded the file. Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance.
Hi! Sorry for the late response. You'll need to unzip the file, and once you do, there will be a folder with a .exe file inside that you click. It should have the image of a face. When in doubt, go ahead and search "How to play Ren'py game" into your search engine of choice. Good luck!
cried very goddamn hard at this AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ive played through so many visual novels and this was by far one of the best ones ive played!! the writing was SO good and the art was really adorable.. i loved both the characters from the start and im so glad i decided to play it!
I loved your game a lot! I love the true ending because gay dweebs. I wrote a fanfiction based off of the true ending, if you want to read it. If you do, just let me know and I'll put the link.
Felt weird playing a game with a depressing theme that can relate to what's going on in the world right now. But other than that I really loved the game!! I loved the writing and characters, not too flat or too complex. The art style and colors gave the world a fitting atmosphere. And the true ending made me happy and gave me hope! I am excited for future games coming from you and nami!!
I actually played this game some time ago but now I have a itch.io account so now I can give my opinion!
I love this game and I wish for a part 2 !!! The characters have so much potential too♡♡♡ I did really enjoy this visual nover (is my favorite game of the gender!!)
Thanks so much, we're glad you like the game! I don't think there will be a part 2, but Issa and Mell do have cameos in Nami's Lonely Wolf Treat series of games, check 'em out!

Really beautiful game, the tone is so captivating I love the mix of moody and light hearted moments. The art too is amazing, the style is so distinct and appealing <33
does anyone know how to get the album cover art ? ive only ever seen it in a speed draw by darkchibishadow . is it included in the art collection ?
So... the game is about two girls fleeing a world destroyed by a clique of selfish technocrats a**holes.
Is it a political satire?
A short but fun gameplay, I loved it and the feeling of throwing yourself into a destroyed world and coming out of it with relationships and thoughts of a promising future transpiring in the interaction of the characters is incredible.

69 days ago sorry i just had to say it
WHAT THE HECK
Bro wrote the funny number 💀
the game is really good stuck in it going through all the endings , the characters are incredibly catchy with their appearance
I finished all the endings in one sitting. I love that Mell is ace! Although I feel bad for her because Issa treats her so badly.
I love this game with all of my heart! the bad ending made me cry so much while on the other hand the true ending made me cry with happiness instead of sadness like the bad ending.

Love the art style !
