That is pretty relatable.

Hello!Thank you for enjoying my game! I'm so glad that you find it relatable.

i love the bright orange against the darkness when you hover over something

Thank you! I love that too XD

Very interesting game. I had forgotten about being able to rotate the view...after that, many puzzles were solved! Thank you for your work.

Thank you for playing and for your feedback!

Can someone please tell me what the password on her phone is?

Maybe pay attention to the birthday photo on the wall, and the calendar. Some simple calculations need to be done.

Only in ohio do cats talk and say "Oh Sh!t!" Lol Great Game! Love it alot!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! Can I ask what do you mean by ohio cats?  I'm Sorry if that's a dumb question, I'm not good at English.

Ah, Well there's a thing where people say stuff like "Cant even eat in ohio" Or something if you use youtube you can search up "Down in Ohio Swag Like Ohio Compilation" Or something and yeah. Sorry not good at explaining

Thanks for explaning!That's pretty clear, I'll search it!

No Problem!

I cannot get back into the crystal ball room :( I left because I was not ready and now it looks like I cannot get back in! Other than it, its a fun play.

Thanks for playing! I'm sorry for that. It might be a bug I'll try to find out why. Does it show "locked" when you click the door of the crystal ball room again? or show nothing but you still in the current room?

It just has me in the current room and the cat is in the small open doorway. If I click or click twice on the cat, it just meows at me and clicking or clicking twice on the open for does nothing. Thanks for the reply!! And good luck :)

I see, Thanks for the reply. If you have already opened the door once you can open it without any key UI shows on the inventory. So the cat won't give you the same key twice, Because you already open it. Have a good one:)

Oh my gosh, I missed that and just finished! A great game :) Thank you,

Thank you for playing~

The mixture of tragic (the girl's life and fate) and cuteness (cats) is very well done. I like the idea with the mythology/astrology/tarot background. We get to know something about a single woman's life, her relationships, her job problems, and that it's very important to have at least one very good friend and some kitties as guiding lights.

Thank you so much for your comment and for your video! I really like your voice, reminds me of the way that people speak in the red room of Twin Peaks! By the way, your avatar is sooooo cute! I love it!

Thanks, that makes me very proud. Thanks very much for your nice comment on YT too. And - your avatar is also very cute - especially on itch. :-)

I love your work! I like the painting style very much. This work is thoughtful and shows the realistic problems of women living alone. I hope to produce a series.

Thank you for playing and for your comments! I really appreciate it! 

Very impressive work.When I played this game I found that there  are lots of details about girl who always alone.Such as men's slippers,Mr in apps ,for the personal safety.But it's also sad that there too much preasure from jobs,family and society.May be we should take it easy and be your own queen.Nice game.I am looking forward to the next issues!

Thank you so much for the comment and thank you for liking it! I'm currently working on the next project, and hopefully, will publish the next year.

It is interesting! I really like the last room when I put cards in and see what happens. I am just stuck in finding the order of 4 graphic passwords and had not thought that I need to pass the iPhone first. But later when I pass the phone, everything goes well.  I also like the cat as a voiceover and narrating it.   Nice game design. I love it! :)

Thank you so much for playing and for your comment! I'm soooooo glad to hear you like it! Thanks again!
