this was a super fun romp that made me never want to step in a cabin again!!! :D
(SPOILERS)
srsly tho, i had such a great time lol. mel and millie butting heads the entire time over the smallest of things never got old XD i like how the game itself doesn't *force* you to side with one or the other, instead showing you how each one justifies the way they feel about her sister. it's both great for the narrative, since it further defines each of their personalities; and great for the comedy, cuz the things they say to explain why they do something can be fcking hilarious haha.
i think mel and millie are two of the best characters in this universe! (the librettoverse if you will) mel's intensely logical approaches to everything makes her really easy to sympathize with, and it's a great source of fun moments when things don't go her way (which is almost always- i mean the entire plot is going to a vacation spot she didn't wanna go to lmao). and watching her mind be utterly destroyed with her sister's reasonings, the bad stuff that happens out of nowhere or out of their petty fights, and the things they're both willing to do to survive was always intriguing & fun to see. on the other side, i think millie could've been easily annoying or cliché, but she ended up being one of the best parts of the game! :D her "rich kid" attitude and way of talking showing up at ALL times, even when she's in mortal danger, was super funny lol. and her remarks over things not being up to her standards? (like her bed or *gasp*, having to work!) fun as shit XD and it's all such a great contrast with how she's completely okay with eating a dead body, like that's such a memorable and completely insane character trait lmao. oh and her creepy infatuation with oliver being what saves the day is peak comedy lol. but in the end, how their bond remains just as strong (if not stronger) during all the things that happened shows how they actually care for one another, and that's what mattered the most in the end.
once again the art & music are amazing!! really loved the use of color and how the screen distorted when something bad was happening/about to happen. and mel and millie's designs are really clever! just changing how their hair is done makes them look both really similar and really easy to tell them apart, which works great with two characters who're twins but couldn't be further apart personality wise lol. also, there were more CGs than in your other games right? it's probably really easy to measure but i'm really bad at keeping count, i'm just going off from what i felt haha. it's cool if they were more this time around, they give these games a lot of style and identity :>
at some points the banter between mel and millie got a bit repetitive, since their relationship or understanding of each other don't really visibly progress a lot. and i feel like there could've been more done with the antagonist, or at least a bit more explaining as to why he does what he does, or how he can seemingly break into the cabin or appear at random... but honestly it's already impressive how a jam game can be up to 40 minutes long with this much art made for it, so it's not really a super big complaint.
overall this was really fun!! and kind of a nice change of pace considering how... dark some other games in this universe can get haha (the darkness in the other games is really well done, but something more shitpost-y feels good from time to time XD). can't wait to see more from this world!!
This was so cute, glad I finally got a chance to record one of your games!!!!
It was so funny!! I was surprised at how much I was laughing through it haha. I struggle with comedy sometimes, I'm too literal. But again and again how absurd they were being just cracked me up.
I don't think I had any issues, my only complaint I had, I explain near the end about the usage of wendigo but you're not the first nor the last haha so I try and give you the benefit of the doubt.
Thank you for playing!(And for the video!)
As for your last point, eventually I think I’ll update the game to fix up the entire thing with the w-ndigo. Let’s just say that I didn’t realize the significance of it until you and Brittle brought it to my attention. I’ll keep your points in mind for future projects as well!
Again, thank you for playing!
This was an absolute treat to play. They were in a horrifying situation, but the humor kept it from ever feeling too dark. Managed to get two joke endings and a good ending, though I don't know if there's more than one main ending.
It honestly made me want to learn more about the girls and what led their lives to be so different, although seeing them bounce off each other's personalities was still fun.
uhm like coffin and leyley
