I had a really pleasant time with this game. It's easy to forget this was made in Ren'Py, because the game feels far more ambitious than the engine usually suggests.

It's clear a lot of care and craft went into this. Thank you for making it and sharing it. I'll be watching for whatever you make next.

This is so kind - Thank you very much for playing! 

That was nice! I wasn't expecting rendered video in a visual novel, but it worked really well and  drew me in. Punctuated by sharp character art and style, this little experience is an easy recommendation.

Thanks for playing! Yeah, at first I brought in the 3D just to save time on backgrounds. Then I got some ideas and one thing led to another (lol). I wasn't sure if players would like it, so I'm glad it worked for you!

THIS WAS SUCH AN EXPERIENCEEE firstly the visuals were such a treat....I loved the mixed media look you went with, the blend of 2D and 3D elements/textures created such a cool look and really added to the tension and eeriness of everything.....me sweating along with MC. Was a big fan of the 3D enviros and all the cutscenes, they felt so immersive with the camerawork!!! You did such a great job building up the dread as you learn more about the medspa. Really enjoyed the sound design also (boing) I liked how generally quiet it was but with just the right sound effects at the right moments to keep you absorbed and on edge. Was lost in the sauce and genuinely floored that you're a 1 person team you are so powerful!!! Amazing job!!! Surreal, unsettling, and truly modern day horror story..........

(also I love the Superior's design wheeeeeze)

You are so sweet, thank you for the kind words friend! 

I was stuck on the Superior's look for a while because I wanted her to be simple but not boring... like at one point I debated a strait-jacket type fit, but it was too distracting and maybe too on-the-nose - so, simple it is, at least for the jam version! Her hair color changed a lot too. I may still tweak it and re-release haha but I'm happy you like her design!

I love the mixed media approach, combining 2D and 3D art, static backgrounds and fully rendered cutscenes. It's a surreal experience. Sound design was incredible too. So many good atmospheric noises (especially the client phone calls). It's interesting how the story loops around on itself, how the themes of ridiculous beauty standards, "ascension", and climbing the corporate ladder intertwine. Also I think you found a good tonal balance between being creepy and funny. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but some of the x-rays that we get to see are the perfect encapsulation of this. Overall, very inspiring to see an up and coming business that has worked out such a novel solution to client retention ;)

Excited to see what else you make!

Happy that some of the jokes landed with you, haha, thank you very much for playing!

Mixing CG style and animations were sooo good it really gave me chills. You can feel heavy and disturbing atmosphere

THIS WAS ABSOLUTE CINEMA I HAVE NO OTHER WORDS

Well actually, I have many XD This is so incredible, the narrative, the cinematography, the pacing, the sound design, all of it is just amazing! And the fact that you did all of this mostly by yourself is absolutely insane! Outstanding work, no notes 💯🔥

OH MY GOD, THE STICKER SKIN TEAM!? You beat me to commenting on your game - Thank you both so much for playing, and for the kind words! Really made my day. I was definitely fighting for my life all month, haha

This game is so good! There is so much tension throughout the narrative, and it all culminates in the end perfectly! The Cinematography is a standout! I noticed that this is the only game on your page so far and I'm excited to see what else you'll make in the future!
