A beautiful game that really helped me in my relationship
really good
Hello, I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to have one of your games be part of a Visual Novel co-op bundle?
I'm planning to run the bundle from March 7th to 21st. Revenue would be split equally. And the bundle price would be set at $1 USD per game.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hello! I am interested - can you contact me at Cara @ Cheratomo . Com?
Thanks for making this! This is extremely well written. I think it's important that a game like this is out there, even for people who haven't gone through something like this, so that there's an example to look at and be able to identify the red flags. The developer commentary breaking down all the abusive tactics is extremely good. Out of curiosity, how do you get the good ending?
Hi! Thanks for leaving your thoughts on the game. I'm glad you feel that way about it, as that's exactly what I was going for with the game!
The good ending is very difficult to get to reflect how difficult leaving abusive relationships can be. I don't want to spoil it here in the comments (itch unfortunately doesn't support spoiler tags), but you can DM me on Twitter @Cheratomo or email thefold @ cheratomo . com and I can tell you there if you're comfortable with that!
