Our Wonderland

I lied, I do like Orlam ;-;

Side note: 

where do you get your music from? I wanna make a VN but I'm having a hard time w/ resource.

This games is so good! Its just extravagant! I have no words to how much i love this game, i even have a whole 2 pages of fanart in my sketchbook for it. Ahem anyway, I found this game by picking out random games to download because I was bored. At first when i looked at your page I just download the game without thinking to even read the description, when i finally got to this game and played this I was amazed! What went through my mind was how can someone's writing be so WONDERFUL! I played it non stop for the past 3 days, with taking breaks of course. I love this game and it now has a place in my heart! Your art style? I think it great! It matches everything so well, the music and the character designs with each of them feeling like they are a real person. Now I'm inspired to go write my own stories lol. I related to all of these characters in some ways, it actually scary. I wanted to know if you have any other stories you would share after Our wonderland? Or were you gonna take a break afterward? (breaks are always okay every now and then) I didn't want to ask when Arc 5 was gonna come out because I would feel like I'm rushing you, and I would never want to make you or anyone feel like they need to rush or anything. Um, sorry I wrote  a lot. This is my first time commenting on a itch.io page, so sorry. I hope you have a great day or night. Also I'm sorry if there are spelling mistakes and stuff but English is hard even if its my first language. Anyway, bye!

5/5 - 10/10  Character-driven Fantasy Horror Game ( with Romance?! ) 

Must play! As a game dev myself, this game has amazed and inspired me a whole LOT! <3

And~ Spoiler-ish comments for Carrot's eyeballs:

Tbh, I'm not in the right head space to give proper feedback right now ( when will I ever be at this point tho honestly *sobs* ), so I'll just leave you with the most important message~

Whoo! The ending of Arc 4 had me CLAPPING!! 

Great job, Carrot!! SO looking forward to Arc 5! >v<)/

Will it also reveal deEp things about Bucks, I wonder~ ;3

Anyways, I find it interesting that Iggy recoils from touching someone ( that scene with the sunscreen ) whilst I'm the other way around, lol. As you know, I'm not ace or anything, but it does truly make me question whether I'm at least a little bit sex-repulsed. Then again, I prefer to not be touched, period. So maybe it's just me, lmao xDD

But hey, it makes me sorta understand the ace perspective, so all good to me ^v^)b ( But if I am, goes to show that you don't have to be ace to experience some repulsion, lol )

Secondly, the scene with Iggy and Genzou-- THAT ONE SCENE-- It breaks my heart, yo. Cuz even whilst I don't agree with it, I understand why he had to do it and that's just AAAAA ;v;

And that scene at the party with Gidget being shown in all their glory? That legit made me awed! I pictured it all moving perfectly in my head all anime-esque! <3 xD

All in all, my personal favorite still remains to be Arc 3 ( SO many nuanced things I love about it, I don't even know where to start ), but! Arc 4 isn't bad either! It's great and I can see the ways you've improved throughout the arcs~ Especially in terms of cinematic moments! Just *chef's kiss*! <3

So hyped for Arc 5! Best of luck and have fun! <3

In the meantime, I'mma go play your other games~ ;D

With all the love,

Nameless L.W. of WingedHares

HHHH I LOVE THIS GAAAAME! Finished Arcs 1-3 in one sitting, but I had to take a break as Gidget has a crappy track record of turning to murder when rejected (also 'cause I love Genzou and any other romantic route brings me pain). All of the characters are so well written. For a brief moment in Arc 3 I felt genuine sympathy for Orlam. Not that it lasted long, but you know. The plot too?! Mwah. Perfect. Gives off vibes of games like Hello Charlotte and early 2000s JRPGs while still being totally original, so that's super dope! 

A few thoughts on characters -

First off I hope that Iggy ends up with Genzou. First because I love the both of them and also because Genzou seems like the only one of the romance options who genuinely likes Iggy for who he is. I think Gidget is trying to use Iggy to justify their life choices or fill  a gap. Like, "see I got with the guy I like, I can't be a failure" and Orlam I keep wanting to call him Oswald lmao is a flaming train wreck. I don't dislike Gidget, especially because I think without Wonderland they wouldn't have become as twisted, but I can't really come to like them as a pairing with Iggy. They need to sort through their identity issues (in regards to both gender and sense of self) before they can be in a healthy relationship. From what I've seen, maybe Cecil is a facet of their identity they wanna express freely? While I do dislike Orlam, I do feel for him. As much as I love Genzou, he went waaaay to far on many occasions with Orlam, not to mention Orlam's shitty home life. However, as much as I sympathise with Orlam, he grosses me out. His personality gives me goosebumps lmao. I'm not sure how to feel about Buxley after learning what she did to Saydie. Iggy is on of my favorite characters. I feel like I can relate to him a lot which might not be so good for me. It's interesting to see how he changes and grows. Genzou is my other favorite. He's funny and the only character who is consistently kind to Iggy even in Wonderland. I guess it doesn't hurt his case that I love the childhood friend trope. Over all though, Iggy and Genzou are my absolute favorites.

Thoughts on story-

I love the whole corrupted world concept. Especially when the world used to be an escape that was filled with innocence AAAAH!!! The interactions between the characters bring the story to life. Not only the interactions between the characters themselves, but also between the characters and their environment and thought processes. Love it. I'm curious, though, if the reason that adults aren't allowed in Wonderland is because their presence is what corrupts it. As the door requires the blood of a child, that would most likely mean that said adult spilled a child's blood (the child who Wonderland most likely expected to welcome instead of the adult). Either that or an adults wishes are not as pure as a child's and would result in some type of corruption.

(Random) Final Thoughts/Questions-

Because I'm trying to influence your subconscious to give me what I want I'll say it again. Iggy and Genzou are the best pairing. I don't think any of the other RO measure up to Genzou TBH. I hope the story has a happy ending. I happy ending in that it makes me happy. You know how to do it (jk). I did want to ask if you would be comfortable sharing your writing process for developing both characters and plots/story concepts. I really like your style of writing, but I wouldn't want you to feel pressured. I apologize for writing an entire essay, but I really like your game! Thank you so much for putting your work out there!

.... Arc 4 was amazing.... Wow I'm so speechless... 

It literally brought me to tears

Spoilers



















2nd comment today and holy hell...AHHHHHHHH this made me SO emotional ...seeing Gunzou end up in all those situations just hurt so much man. especially in the 3rd one when we were so mean. ARGHHHH hes really just like a cuddly teddybear. Iggy can't get anymore oblivious and it hurts. Least favorite would have to be Gidget and Ogram, im sorry but yea..#1 is Gunzou. Hes the only person who actually genuinely likes  Iggy for who he is. But UGHHH this HURTSSS, im just going to assume everytime we split apart from gunzou while in Ogram castle Gunzou is being sliced up.


Overall, this is a really really good vn. I love it. Also whats the music that was used in arcs 2-3

dude i thought i finished the whole game when i finished arc 1...the whole credit scene and such...then i see big arc 2 words LOL. thankfully i didnt x out oh my god. welp ah shit here we go again.

HOLY CRAP, THIS GAME IS AMAZING!! I'm sitting here just thinking... FOR FREE??? JESUS!!! YOU'VE IMPRESSED ME THIS TIME, ITCH.IO!!!!!! I'll definitely be recommending this game to all of my friends!!

Jesus christ how come I haven't played this masterpiece until now?! I'm still on Arc 2 but I already love it so much!!! Definitely became one of my favorite indies ever. The characters??? Hello??? They have so much personality, interesting dynamics between them, they're morally grey, they're so human I can't even ksjgbksbgkr, I care for them so much. The story is super interesting, filled with mysteries and a really cool horror adaptation of what Wonderland looks like (and of course Orlam is the fucking king, I love it 😂). I'm just so over the moon with this game, the art is unique and cool, the story is just fantastic, the characters are really well explored, THERE'S EVEN GOOD ROMANCE WITH THAT SWEET SWEET SLOW BURN AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH I'M SO INVESTED AAHHHH (I'M KINDA SHIPPING A LOT OF CHARACTERS TOGETHER DSBGJKB)!!! Thank you so much for making this game, I'm looking forward to seeing your Spooktober entry soon!! <3

I THINK THATS MY FIRST COMMENT ON ITCH IO BUT THAT GAME IS FUCKIN AAAAAAAGH I JUST FINISHED 4 ARC MY FUCKIN GOD IM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS GAME THIS IS THE BEST SHIT I PLAYED FOR A WHILE THE DRAWING THE SCRIPT EVERYTHING IS FUCKING AWESOME AUTHOR MADE SO MUCH WORK ON THIS AND ITS SO BEAUTIFUL WELL DONE CARROT NOW IM GOING TO CRY

some rpg maker and renpy games ca  be run on mobile with joiplay, for the games without a proper mobile version to be enjoyed on.

this isn't one of them 😔

Oh, Our Wonderland, Our Wonderland...where do I start with this game?

When I first spotted this game while browsing Itch, I was immediately drawn in by its cute art style, but its page made me hesitant. I don't mind games that cover heavy topics, I enjoy darker stories from time to time. But I'm often wary of games and stories like that, because sometimes, even with warnings, I'm still caught off guard by things that are too much even for me, or the author doesn't handle certain topics with the...care...that they deserve.

But Carrot? You did not disappoint me. I'm so glad I took a chance on this game. My only regret is coming in right right towards the end, before the story has a chance to be finished and I get to see how this whole heartbreaking, twisted tale ends.

The game doesn't disappoint with its storybook-like visuals, and everyone looking like cute little mice people only adds to the fairytale-like atmosphere that surrounds the story. Granted, it's a fairytale that's gone horribly wrong. But it gives the story a specific feeling, like I'm watching a cartoon I might have caught on TV late at night as a child and traumatized myself. It's the uneasy yet familiar feeling that drew me in, and the cast is what kept me hooked.

I've never seen a group of such complicated individuals that works so well together.

Carrot does such a good job at laying out everyone's flaws, their darkest moments, the times where they've hurt each other and done things that make me wonder why they stayed friends in the first place (although I also know now there's quite a few reasons as to why), but also throws you enough bones to show you that these people are worth caring about, worth trying to make them happy and hoping everything will work out in the end. Despite the times where I was deeply uncomfortable and reminded of things I'd rather not think about, I couldn't be upset about it. Or upset at the one who made me feel that way. Because if I want to denounce A and write them off as irredeemable, I'd have to toss away everything that makes them sympathetic, and ignore the waving red flag in my face screaming "Something is very wrong here! They're not supposed to be doing this! This isn't them!" I'd have to acknowledge that B had a hand in making them that way. If I want to be angry at C for what they've done, I have to acknowledge their complicated dynamic with D too and acknowledge that it's also very much their fault, and A and B certainly didn't do much to help back then either. What could they have done, really? They were just kids. They didn't know better.

And...I rarely get that in groups with those dynamics. It's very refreshing. It stops me from becoming apathetic to the grim setting even though I always know how each arc is going to end. Each arc, no matter how painfully it ends, gives me just a tiny glimmer of hope that everyone can be saved from themselves, and each other.

So, in summary, if you're like me and looking at this page, wondering if you should give this experience (I can't even call it a game really, this is something else entirely) a try, at least play the first arc to give you a chance to dip your toes into the setting, the hypnotic writing that keeps you hanging off every word, and to get to know its strange, but endearing cast. If you make the same choice I did, then you definitely won't be disappointed.

And Carrot? Thank you for putting this out there and sharing it with everyone. And thank you for being willing to break down some things I had...concerns about, I'm not sure I could've finished Arc 4 without knowing what was waiting for me. But even then, I'm so glad I did it. Visual novels like this don't come around very often, and I'm glad I didn't miss out.

That's enough rambling from me, now I need to lay down, maybe cry a bit, and curse myself for not just waiting until Arc 5 came along so I could binge this whole thing and not leave myself on a huge cliffhanger.

(P.S. If there's a Discord or something for this I'd love to get in on that, I'd love to have other people to talk about this hidden gem with)

I tend to not play games with an extensive list of trigger warnings. They often disappoint me, playing purely with out of place gore thrown there for pure shock value. I almost didn't try that game out because of the expectations, or lack thereof, that I had when I saw the sheer number of warnings on this page.

Almost.

Thank fucking gods I did.

I wasn't ready for what was thrown at me at all. I certainly wasn't ready for emotional storylines, dialogues that hit way too hard, compelling characters, choices that aren't always as good as you think, dying and rewinding, dying and rewinding, dying and rewinding, genuinely cringing in terror, swearing (in two languages) and gasping at the screen whenever a particularly heavy scene or plot twist came... I wasn't ready. And I couldn't look away. I couldn't stop reading. My spacebar started squeaking from the constant impatient tapping. I can't remember when was the last time I fell this deep into a storyline. I can't believe I almost missed all of this. 

Well, here we are. 5 star experience, probably one of the rare times where I don't have any doubts about it at all. I want arc 5 to come now, but I also dread it, because that'll be the end of it. Keep up the good work.

(NOTE FOR PLAYERS: I'll try to keep this review spoiler-free but I'm not sure to manage!)

Okay, so I played the fourth arc and OH MY GOD

I think this arc is my favourite so far. Seeing the characters interact that much with each other was really great, and we really did have some heartfelt moments with Gidget and Genzou. I have to say the scene during which Gidget shows Iggy their website has to be my favourite from the whole game so far... So warm, so comforting, so nice friendly interactions... Aaaah...

The Wonderland part is also very great: it was a really interesting take on how comformity eventually makes everyone unable to be themselves and therefore unhappy. Cecil was a nice addition, especially since I think he might embody... well, some "truer" side to Gidget, to say the least.

I also appreciated the interaction between Iggy and Bucks. In my last review, I explained we knew so little about her... Well, it was a small interaction, but it really felt like I started understanding her.

The art, as usual, was great, and I especially liked it in this chapter: I took a billion screenshots, it was extremely well-done.

Now, I'm looking forward to the final chapter. I know you're going to make great things, but no pressure: just work with the care you usually put in your game, and it will turn out amazing. After playing arc 1, I was curious. After playing arc 2, I was moved. After playing arc 3, I was... weirded out. After playing arc 4, I realised this game is speaking to me in many more ways than just the asexual themes. It was truly amazing, thank you.

Well, I've cried after first arc.... That is awesome game!

(NOTE FOR PLAYERS: I'll try to keep this review spoiler-free but not sure I'll manage, so maybe play it first before reading???? But for an overall opinion: it's excellent and probably will be a masterpiece when the game is fully done, just make sure to read the trigger warnings if necessary)

Okay, I finally played Arc 3 and can leave a comment about everything made so far! The reactions I had at the end of each arc:

Arc 1: oh, I wish we got a happier ending after everything we went through...
(then, realising the concept before starting arc 2): oh, now we'll get happy endings!
Arc 2: well, nope but... something bigger is going on, just go with the game
Arc 3: what-the-hell?????

Okay, let's provide a more-refined account of what I think of your game!
The first point I'd like to mention are the characters: they torment me! They make me feel a million of different things, going from love to horror. You managed to give them a lot of nuances, and in that regard, I'm really excited to see Arc 4 to see Gidget, especially considering what is suggested during arc 3. Same goes with Genzou: I loved him in arc 2 and had more twisted feelings about him in arc 3 (although I called out his attitude towards Orlam as soon as I started arc 1). Orlam really moved me during the "real-world" phase of arc 3 and horrified me at all the other moments. Regarding Bucks, we still know so little about her, but I can't help theorising about her. I also like Iggy's evolution, and really curious what arc 4 is going to be like. So, you really made a great job of the characters.
Also, the story, so far, is good. The lack of control we have over it is frustrating, but this is inteded frustration, which shows the struggles and the pains of fixing problems or issues that have been going on for years. Also, the fact that we don't really have a choice and that, no matter what, we face death, reminds me of Greek tragedies' concept of fatum, and I'm really into... well, French classical tragedy, but it is inspired for Greek tragedy, so... in short, that's really my type of stuff and I loved it.
The horror was a nice touch too. The way childhood is twisted by desires that come later... I think, the game really offers a real reflexion on sexuality, and you're clearly not kidding when you call it an "asexual horror game". It is really horrifying, and as an ace person, I was really disgusted and unsettled at some points (inn scene, Arc 2...). I really mean it: in terms of writing, you tackle the topic of sexuality in a way only an asexual person could and that really got me in.
Of course, the art is amazing, at the same time cute and unsettling, which is perfect for a game about a twister wonderland.

So far, I'm loving it and really got into the game! Excited to see what's next!

(Also, I think you posted a tweet about wheter letting the player choose which arc to play or making them play in the inteded order: I really think the evolution of Iggy's character would be less striking if the game weren't played in the inteded order, if you need some feedback on that).

Great game, finished it in two nights, didn't really care for the art style at first, with all the character having big ears, but it did grow on me and eventually I started to like it a lot. I did kind of get a bit concern when I reached the first ending I guess you call it, do to it steering a little bit too close of  justifying suicide to me, with the whole everyone is better off with me and then showing everyone (seemly) being happier because of it. Though once I got to act 2 those worries did disappear. Also was wondering how many acts you plan to have.

Just to be sure, is there any NSFW actually depicted? I would like to stream this on twitch or record a video of it for youtube, but I need to make sure it isn't against TOS first re: NSFW. It looks fun!

Well, I'm officially confused beyond belief. I played the game all the way through to a "wish I never existed" ending, but I have zero clue about how to reach arc 2 or 3, which I suspect I have NOT played yet. I have no idea whether I'm right, or what to do next. But if I AM right, this aspect of the game needs some SERIOUS further work.

This game has to be one of my top 5 games ever, you can just feel the love the creator(s) put into this owo im absolutely engulfed in this beautifully written story and the art just ties it all together in a sweet bow ready to be unraveled, i cant wait for arc 4 and any other game plans you have in the future! I absolutely adore your work and cant wait to see what happens next!!!  <3<3<3

I haven't finished playing your current build yet (I'm right after encountering Gidget and reaching the castle), but I wanted to leave you a comment and let you know that I'm officially a fan of your project. (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) I saw some of your posts on Twitter and there's just been something about your art that got me drawn to your game... It didn't want to leave my mind for days before I finally got around to playing it. And needless to say, it was a very nice surprise, since I ended up enjoying it way more than I thought I would.

I really like your writing and the way you present things, and I absolutely adore the sound/music design you implemented into the scenes (the eye/tongue action and Genzou's "imaginary" screams were top notch especially). A lot of the story elements feel very relatable, and you made it easy to emphasize with Iggy's mindset. That whole scene with Gidget was so intense and well presented, kudos for that.

Also, I don't know what it is, but I basically fell in love with Orlam after barely a couple of lines into his character introduction... so I'm very much looking forward to seeing what's in store with him further into the game. Why is it always the weirdos? xD

While I have no idea where Act 2 ends yet, I'm excited about your release of Act 3, too! Best of luck with everything! I'll be sure to give you more feedback once I get to the end, as well!

frothing at the mouth rn im so excited for arc 3

oh my god look what i've found ( in the meantime adding myself to the waiting queue for Arc 3~

 this art style reminds me of the rugrats a bit lol

I MADE AN ACCOUNT ON THIS SITE TO COMMENT THIS. I PLAYED IT ALL IN ONE SITTING AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH. THE ART IS SO NICE ABND THE CHARACTER S!! I LOVE THE WRITING!!!  ! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGRRRRRRRRGHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!  ! I may be getting hyperfixitated on this.  You should make a discord server for this game if u haven't already.

Definitely looking forward to the next Arc! I'd been meaning to play this VN for a little while now and finally got around to it, and I'm really glad I did. The art is unique and lends a certain vibe to the whole thing the makes both the more comedic moments and horror moments really stand out. Maybe it's because of just how expressive it is. I'm also always appreciative of horror devs/writers who use content warnings and respect the players who make use of them. That said, the themes in this are Dark with a capital D so those warnings are definitely warranted!

Also, I love encountering ace characters in the wild and honestly Iggy makes me feel very seen. Being touch averse or uncomfortable with someone experiencing that sort of attraction to you is something I feel I rarely see depicted. (Sidenote, is Iggy designed with a white rabbit motif in mind? I'm curious!👀  )

This game is like, everything I have been looking for recently, I love horror stories and also LGBT stories, and this game handles both so well, I really can't wait to see what the other arcs will have because I love the characters already and am in love with how this game writes the characters and their interpersonal conflicts.

Unable to run the Linux build  :/ gonna have to run it via Wine so it's ok but still :(

digging the art style, this is going to be a wild ride, isn't it...

So I'm continuing to play through the entire game (I'm still at the first arc) because I forgot to play it for a while

and the fact that if you choose to go back to the last choice you make, it says something about how you feel like you've made a choice before

that kind of scared me

but it's also interesting

I'm assuming the same thing wouldn't happen if you loaded a save before a choice since that's before you make any choice at all

but it's amazing and I love it

anyways

this might happen for only the choice with which direction to go but I still love that concept

so yeah this game is amazing so far :D

My review of Arc 2 - unmarked spoilers below!

Dang, the writing got kicked up a notch since the last time! It's like the author is getting more comfortable with the characters.

The new graphics and CGs turned out great. There's so much more emotion packed into every frame. My favorite is Orlam's torturer CG - whoever said revenge is a dish best served cold has never seen the face and body language of a man driven mad from never-ending abuse.

I really love the juxtaposition between Gidget's 'love' for Iggy and Genzou's love. Gidget is so utterly, sexually obsessed with Iggy, she's turned herself into an object which she wrongly believes will get him to reciprocate. Heck, when he doesn't, she turns him into an object, believing that if he's forced to be as she is, his inexplicable (to her) unwillingness to 'love' her will be 'fixed'.

Genzou, however, loves Iggy for who he is. He knows that, in the event they do somehow get together, there will be no traditional intamacy, and he owns it. In a fantastic mirroring of Gidget's scene with Iggy, when Genzou kisses Iggy like Genzou has probably been dreaming of since high school, he quickly realizes what's wrong with his action, pulls back, and apologizes, leading to openness from both of them and an intimate moment which Iggy is comfortable with. Iggy. The ace in the room who's never gotten around to sorting out his feelings on sexuality.

I really love the number of clever, "this won't do what you think it'll do" choices in this arc - especially the ones which require you to have paid attention the first time 'round. Like how saying something which is very probably going to trigger Orlam is not how one stays alive when your life is in his hands, and he hasn't yet decided to prepare you for dinner. Though I love the exchange between Genzou and Orlam in that bad end - Orlam makes it as plain as day why he hates Genzou's guts, but even then, Genzou sees nothing wrong with it, dismissing it as "stuff kids do", while ignoring all he's put Orlam through as an adult. It just. Doesn't. Register with Genzou.

And before I forget, special shoutout for Wonderland Orlam's writing - the man has clearly been paying attention to the old books he's been reading in his spare time in the real world, and his torture tactics are frighteningly-good. And worse yet, it's only the second iteration of the time loop and he already knows things are repeating. He might even be manipulating things already via giving Gidget certain ideas about Iggy. I mean, how else could he have known how things played out at her tavern?

My one criticism is on the attempt at "dissonant serenity" in the music (i.e. peppy music playing over something horrifically-violent). Before I get into it, I want to acknowledge the fact the game likely is a low-budget affair - with cost savings greatly helped by the author being artist (a fantastic one IMHO), programmer, and writer - so there is an equally-likely chance there wasn't enough money to license or commission what the author wanted to put into the game, and not just in the areas I'm going to criticize. One can only work within their means. 

Getting into my criticism proper now, the music for the arc's ending cinematic isn't a half-bad pick, but it doesn't feel like the piece is well-synced with proceedings. It's a minor criticism, I will admit. However, the choice of a J-Pop-esque track for when Gidget summons her fans to aid in her objectification of Iggy just feels *wrong*. Like, it doesn't fit with Gidget's theme music, nor does it fit with the music for her town or her tavern. I definitely wouldn't say to go classical like the arc ending cinematic, but maybe find something from the time period or an era-adjacent contemporary song (if that makes any sense)?

Overall, a definite improvement over Arc 1. Can't wait for Orlam's Wild Ride, aka Arc 3. It's the one torturous ride that I won't want to get off - I want to see where Orlam goes, both however-loosely-hinged he actually is in reality and how utterly-unhinged and unchained he gets when in Wonderland for the third time (assuming arcs won't already start interacting with each other based on order played by that point).

I finally got around to playing this for a longer bout of time, and it's wonderfully weird lol. It's not often you see a comic style like yours meeting darker themes, and I'm all for that stuff so I truly dig it. Well done Super Carrot!! <3 :)

Wow this was pretty great my theory is that when he wished to go back in time it worked so he didn’t stop existing because he had already made a wish.

Also why does he get so uncomfortable when it comes to sexual relationship stuff?

So I finally got around to play the first arc, and I'm very glad I did!

I really like the way everything comes together (art, music, writing, darkly comedic timing). And I think it's quite something that despite being set in a twisted wonderland, the most frightening part of this story by far (imo) are Iggy's troubled cast of friends. 

I'm eager to see what the next arc will bring~ (and also curious about what longterm consequences the in-game choice might have as the story evolves)

nice

Freaking amazing game! Can't wait for the next arc to be implemented. Really digging the framework of an adult fairy tale and the idea and consequences of said tale intersecting with what's supposed to be a children's fairy tale...or at least the setting for one.

I don't often use itch.io's optional review functionality when rating games, but I felt I needed to so I could get all my thoughts out without spoiling anything to those who haven't played the game.

Also, got an error when choosing the "Last Choice" option upon failing the last (second-to-last?) choice made while sailing:

Looking forward to the next arc. I like the themes, curious to see how the story is developed

BROOOO i loved your game Easter, because of the artstyle and the game dynamics, and NOW THIS??? Carrot Patch. Carrot Patch.

You made me fall in love with Easter, and now you've made me fall in love again with this new wonder.

I LOVE YOUR ART (Seriously, I love even the deaths LOL), the way you write the characters and their personalities, you make me love them even in their worst moments<3, and the terror and mystery is exquisite (^///^).

I'm already dying for ARC 2!
