Thank you so much, Jasmine! I’m really hoping to wrap up this project smoothly. As for Helios, it’s probably just my brain's inability to keep track of multiple stuff at once XD you're so sharp and smart, I know you’ll definitely pick up on anything that feels off ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

As for Kai, we spent a lot of time perfecting him (last character to be designed), so I really doted on him a lot at the start (and honestly, I still do). But writing for him makes me so emotional LOL I have such a soft spot for characters who struggle to express themselves. But then again... I also have a soft spot for characters who overly express themselves like Shyloh FJHGFJSGJSGFJSGF

I’m gonna need a ton of luck juggling both programming and editing—our numbers are low in both those areas, so I might end up doing a recruitment call to bring in some fresh faces soon. Anyway, yeah, I added two more Sev endings— hopefully that’s all for her. Don’t want to go overboard with the killing spree LOL

Snake oil topic is spoiler-y so I'll have to skip that XD

As for my personal faves (aside from Shyloh), it’d have to be the actual golden pixie too. I absolutely freaking looooove Helios ♥‿♥ he’s such a clever little manipulator, and writing his character is honestly a blast, since I need to use more brain juice (In general, I think I squeezed out everything in my brain working on the CA script). Plus, I get to whip out the dictionary and learn new words, haha. Kai used to be one of my faves, but after working on his route, my heart can’t quite handle it anymore T~T Now it’s more of a bittersweet affection.

Oh man, fuck me, what did I get myself into with 20-ish endings?! XD (I might've added another Sev death ending... oops, my bad.)

As for your question, Rosario's snake-like traits mostly come from his artistic design/character sheet— I just really wanted a character with a slit tongue (makes the kissing scene extra spicy). Then I figured, why not take it up a notch, especially since he can shapeshift~ It also ties in with the medicine thematics, and, well... snake oil solutions that he offers when he's really just up to his own tricks. Oh, and not gonna lie, I also really wanted to throw in a hemipenis LOL

Kai’s skin tone plays a really significant role in his storyline. I’m super curious to hear what you think it might be! (It’ll help me see if the twist catches you off guard!) As for the insects… I can’t give too much away, but they’re both symbolic and a source of horror~ (and it's gonna be torture to program because of the on/off toggle for it T~T)

You're totes right Jasmine! Remember how last time you mentioned the lotus flower? Well, that's a key symbol in both Hinduism and Buddhism. The rest of his outfits also take a similar direction.

You can also see it in the open chest design since in both religions, the chest area is closely associated with the heart, which is symbolic of spiritual growth, compassion, and wisdom, also known as an embodiment of divine love and compassion (we also really wanted to showcase the tattoos LOL)

Our art director was the person who did his character design so a lot of thought went it it, hehe~~

SKY, YOU’RE KILLING ME WITH THE VIBES! (´▽`ʃƪ)♡ This entire response had me grinning ear to ear. Your energy is absolutely contagious! I love how into Shyloh you are— he totally deserves all that chaotic worship, and you’re giving him the perfect level of unhinged love.

And yes, we’re both on the same wavelength with wanting to protect him, but honestly? You’ve got to hurt him more for that even deeper, maniacal adoration to surface (since you know yandere tropes, you probs know what I mean). P.S. since I’m biased, Shyloh’s got extra CGs… hehe (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Also, your comments about Helios? MAW GAWD. The Helios slander is chef’s kiss, and you’re going to have such a fun time with his plot twist in the full release. He might even become your second bias…who knows? LOL

But seriously, I’ve packed in so many hints for the demo version, and if you’re looking for some clues, there’s another player here, @jasmine flower, who’s analyzed a HUGE portion of the Easter eggs. You’ve gotta check out her comments too. Thank you so much for your amazing million-out-of-ten comment, seriously, made my day! ♡♡♡

It looks like Sev’s endings just keep multiplying— we’ve got the Sev grass survival plan, Sev flambé /kebab/méchoui plan, and personal maid LOL

OMG, the shyloh-obsessed friend is going to be so spoiled with all the shyloh content I have planned, haha.

As for the fertility thing, it’s still open-ended, but if I make it canon, I can totally see Rosario just telling Merka to give him a vasectomy or something XDD

You got it! The idea was for both of them to have contrasting approaches to Sev, kind of like a “hot and cold” dynamic. Rosario would be the darker persona (like sexually assaulting her), while Floreta would be the lighter persona, trying to comfort her with aftercare, which would just confuse Sev even more. But honestly, I was really unsure if I could pull it off, since I only had one VN-writing experience under my belt. I kept wondering if I could properly portray such a delicate mental issue, so I kind of chickened out, haha. But I’m hoping Rosario’s current character can capture both their personalities in a similar way ^^

spoiler tag

The therapist quitting right at the start of the session when Shyloh starts praising Sev is such a funny idea. Said therapist definitely wouldn’t be able to make a comment about Shyloh’s dependency on Sev without getting choked LOL

Also, it’s hilarious that you mentioned the méchoui because I was literally writing a line from Helios about how everyone’s just a sheep to him FSHGFJGHSJFGJSG His backstory might mess with the whole Regina George vibe, but I hope you still like it! It’s tied to Shyloh, in a way…

Oh, and some of the commenters, like you mentioned, really want to take out Adonis’s other eye— folks really want to make him completely blind, huh? XD

And Rosario just has other pixies tie up his hair— especially a certain short-haired pixie who’s really good with his hands. But yeah, Rosario would never let him near his clothes. He’d just pin them all up haha.

And about the pixies… I gotta admit, I left it kind of open-ended myself. I’m still toying with the idea of Shyloh and Sev maybe having a kid together someday in their good ending… who knows?

Interesting fact, I actually considered writing down DID (Dissociative identity disorder) for Rosario in my earlier drafts! I’d planned for his dual personality to be called ‘Floreta’— one side would be super flirty, and the other would be really prudish, which would leave him conflicted about his emotions. But, I ended up scrapping the idea in the end LOL

spoiler tag

Also, oh ma gawwwwsh, you caught that with Kai! I don’t think there’s anything hidden from you anymore, haha XD You’ll also notice that the same flower design shows up on his tattoos. As for the meaning… well, I’ll leave that as a little mystery for now, but you’re definitely on the right track. As for what he’s done, it kind of depends on the person’s perspective. He made a choice that seemed like the most heroic option, but it ended up isolating him even more (feel free to take a guess!).

Imagine if the pixies actually went to therapy, though! Helios would probably turn the tables and be like, “Why must one satisfy your curiosity?” Yulen would definitely flip the table. Merka would totally exaggerate his sob stories to win the pity party. Adonis would either praise or punish the therapist, depending on how they respond. Kai would stay silent, of course, and Rosario would try to seduce the therapist to get them to spill their secrets instead. As for Shyloh… well, that’s for you to theorize! ^^

I see you’re really rooting for the Sev kebab, huh, Jasmine? XDDD Adonis does have the disadvantage of being half-blind, but I’ve got an amazing horror CG saved up for him—you’re going to love it! <33 As for Yulen, you could definitely try reverse psychology with him. The more you resist, the more he’ll enjoy it. Just play dead, and you’ve got a shot. Another option is Helios— he doesn’t really like getting his hands dirty; he’s more of a delegator.

By the way, I’m super curious— how many times have you played the game by now? You keep finding new stuff every time, and I spent a solid 4 months actively working on hiding them all FJSGHFJSGHFJSGFJ

Oh! And about Rosario’s hair, I actually have a pic from his character design sheet. Let me check if I can share it with you~

Yesss, jasmine flowers are sooo underrated! I totally missed an opportunity to add some flower symbolism to the game T~T Also, thanks a bunch for the spoiler tag explanation~ I’m gonna give it a try and hope it works—fingers crossed! UPDATE: IT WORKED YAAAAAAY <333

spoiler tag

Yep, the pixies really don’t care about anything except one thing: getting Sev’s life essence. Each of them has their own plans for it, tied to their personal motivations and sin arch-type. But here’s the catch— Sev’s emotions have made the essence all negative, so now they’re stuck trying to figure out how to deal with her. They could try being nice and shifting Sev’s perspective so her emotions aren’t so messed up, but naaaah— these pixies are too far gone themselves to bother.

Kai totally brought this mess on himself with something shady he did back when he was a leader. (The twist is gonna blow your mind, hopefully XD) Sev’s situation is rough, like really rough, but don’t count out the grass strategy just yet, there’s still hope! And hey, worst-case scenario, she’s flambé FSHGJFSGFJGFJSDGDJ

About Rosario— so glad you think it’s clear! Someone I had as an editor (who bailed in less than a week, btw) wanted me to spell it out more, and I was doubting myself. Like, is it really not obvious? So hearing that it lands is such a relief! Especially since I’m done tweaking the demo and was so not ready to dive back into edits again XDDD

As for the “milking Sev” thing… uh, yeah, it’s technically on the table. It all depends on which pixie would be most motivated to go that route. Think about their personalities and goals— who would go for a method like caging her, overworking her, or making her their personal slave?

And don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. She half-blinded Adonis in the demo? So, yeeees, you’ll totally get to fight back. Curious to hear which pixies have the possibility of dying LOL

If you’re fighting the pixies without powers, it’s like… a hard 0% chance of winning. Some won’t fight you, so there’s that, I guess? >u< If you’ve got powers, your odds jump to about 3/10, and with some clever psychological manipulation, you can bump it to 5/10. But if they don’t have powers and you do? Now we’re talking— 5/10 chance, or even 7/10 if you’re playing it smart. So yeah, it’s not all doom and gloom… maybe…

You learned how to use the spoiler tag?! OMG, I still haven’t figured it out myself— you’ve got to teach me! Also, congrats, Jasmine~ I love the new name, by the way. <33

Okay, so I’ll try to avoid spoilers as much as possible, but here’s the gist: Kai did something in the past (back when he was the leader) that turned him into an outcast. Because of this, nobody really cares what he does as long as he stays out of their way. Oh, and unrelated side note: I tweaked his dialogue with Helios a bit to make Helios seem less suspicious to new readers. I felt like I was overemphasizing how much Helios looks down on Kai, so I toned it down a little.

Anyway, Kai is helping Sev because he wants something from her. (Spoiler alert— I can’t go into details yet!) For the first event, where the fake Shyloh (shapeshifted Rosario) attacks Sev, it’s actually part of their plan. They’re trying to make Sev believe it’s really Shyloh to give her a false impression of him.

As for the second event, that’s more Kai-driven. The veil he gives Sev helps reduce her pain (or maybe it’s just a placebo effect, like covering up a wound... who knows?) The other pixies don’t really care about this because, from their perspective, she’s going to die anyway, and they’ll get her pure life essence regardless.

Now, about Shyloh and Helios’s choking scene: Helios hadn’t given Shyloh the signal yet (he even explains this to Sev when she asks about it). The whole ploy was to paint Shyloh as the bad guy, and if the others intervened, it wouldn’t have had the same impact. Similarly, with Rosario, they didn’t care about her actions as long as the end goal—Sev’s death—was achieved.

Ultimately, Helios doesn’t think much of Kai because of something Kai did in the past. This event still affects him and his interactions with the others. Even Kai’s effort with the veil doesn’t change much in the end because Sev still dies. That’s kind of the theme with Kai’s arc; his good intentions don’t always change the outcome.

In terms of intentions, they’re split: in the first incident with the veil, he’s aligned with the pixies because he wants something from Sev (and no, it’s not Ehsas like the others want). In the second incident with the pixie's ending, his actions seem well-meaning, but whether or not he succeeds in getting what he wants is left ambiguous; it’s something tied to his route.

Hope that cleared things up a bit more! By the way, do you think the whole veil situation is a little confusing? If so, I could look into clarifying the demo text to make it easier to follow.

Yulen would absolutely love to cook for you— he’s quite the chef and gets pretty competitive about it! Of course, Adonis might step in as the taste tester… you know, to make sure everything is perfect (and that Yulen hasn’t added anything sneaky *sus eye stare*).

As for Merka, he’s all for the grass-eating survival idea too, he’s just a bit too jelly he didn't think about it first, classic tsundere energy XD

You're the creator of the realm— you don’t have anyone to pray to! XD But I love the "eat grass" idea, so I’ll definitely add it to the script (fingers crossed the editor keeps it in, LOL). Honestly, Shyloh would probably just wreck the entire world of the painting rather than let you go. That guy’s a total psycho (I wonder who made him that way...)

Cue dialogue-
Merka "Haha, you think eating grass is gonna solve your problems?"
Sev "Yes."
Merka "Oh yeah? What’s next, hugging trees to fix your love life?"
Sev "Actually, the tree said to cut out toxic people. So… byeeee."

Hiya Hehe, glad to read your comments once again! Do excuse the late reply, I usually try to respond to your questions as quick as I can but it's been quite the... emotionally straining week for VN development.

For the domains, they're all based on the character's personas/interests/archetypes/etc... Like you said, it wouldn't make sense to have Yulen running in a field of flowers XD However, it may have something to do with his tools (HINT: there are some clues in his duo dialogue with Adonis). Some of the pixies have interior-esque domains, while others are set on the outside, with one pixie having the best of both worlds (not gonna spoil who LOL)

As for Shyloh, I can't discriminate against the poor baby, he also has his own domain BUUUUUT... let's just say it's a tad different than the rest *eye stare emoji*

Also, I gotta ask, what kind of escape plans do you have in mind? Super curious~~

On the same note, the endings for certain characters might change depending on how the editing goes! For example, one character could have 1 bad, 1 neutral, and 1 good ending, or maybe just 2 bad and 1 neutral— it's still a bit up in the air (cause some of them, based on their routes, don't deserve a good ending ngl). But hey, everyone’s guaranteed to have at least one bad ending LOL equality at its finest.

Oh-ma-gawwwd, yeeees I love the idea of making the player work a little harder to get to know the characters— it makes each choice feel way more meaningful! One fun twist I’m planning is to have certain characters respond in unexpected ways— so if you pick what seems like the "nice" or "correct" option (like helping them or being friendly), it might actually lead to their bad ending. You’ll need to understand each character’s mindset to get the best results~~

As for the Winx inspiration— yes! That’s exactly where the whole fairy/pixie idea came from ^^ I feel like that show was such a big part of our childhoods. I even got the name 'Helios' from 'Helia' in the show, since he was one of my favorites (though his personality is totally different here, haha XDD). I had to separate them to keep things fresh!

Hi there Val! Thank you so much for playing the demo (five times, WOWOW!) and for sharing such kind words—it means a lot to hear you enjoyed it and were hooked by all the twists! ^^
Super curious to know which characters are your faves btw <33

Currently, there are two bad endings for Sev. There's also the end of the demo where Shyloh saves you (this one isn't a game ending, just the end of the demo).

Also, if you could take a moment to rate our game, it would really help us with visibility on the itch algorithm. We’d appreciate it so much (^‿^v)

I can't imagine Adonis coughing/wheezing (but that would be a hilarious twist XD) I'd like to imagine his voice having that rough edge, hinting at vocal cord damage, but it gives off a seasoned vibe instead of sounding sickly (hopefully that makes sense LOL.)

As for Rosario, he really has a gift for adjusting his voice to match the moment— not in a camouflage-like way as with Merka, but more about connecting with others and meeting their emotional needs because he wants to love and be loved. When he’s looking to inspire, that mid-high ascending melody is perfect for uplifting his listener. On the other hand, when he needs to be more critical, a descending tone from high-mid adds a nice touch of disappointment. And during flirtatious or NSFW moments, his sultry mid-deep voice brings a warm intimacy while still keeping that sweet melodic quality~~

Yeeeees, he’d definitely question why he’s not an alpha or an omega, wondering that he isn’t as rare and special as his comrades.

I remember you mentioning that you liked Helios/Rosario too! While Helios is more spoiler territory, Rosario would definitely be a switch—after all, how else could he be the Hero of Lust? XDDD

I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned adding VO in comments before, but just to clarify, I don’t think I’ll be including them. I had a negative experience with a VO director on my first project, which led to me handling everything on my own and caused a lot of stress T~T So, unless a team member really persuades me, I’m likely going to skip VO!

As for their voices (cue long rant)~

Shyloh: I imagine him with a deep yet mild voice. He speaks gently to Sev, but when addressing the other pixies, his tone shifts to a gritty growl, revealing his more aggressive side. There’s a hint of despair in his voice, as if he’s on the verge of fading away. Years of begging and praying have taken their toll on him.

Yulen: He’s the lighthearted jokester, so I picture him with an airy, loud tone (maybe even a hint of a drawl-like accent.) His exaggerated expressions and animated hand movements would make his voice really pop.

Helios: He’d have a formal tone, clearly enunciating his words since he never uses contractions (like saying "I am" instead of "I’m"). His voice would be mid-range but would drop deeper when he gets serious, adding an element of intimidation.

Merka: As the annoying brat of the group, he’d have a loud, shrill voice, always bubbling with frustration. His erratic body language matches his tone, and while he’s a master of camouflage and can mimic others, he intentionally refrains from doing so around fellow pixies to ensure he stands out.

Kai: He’d be the quietest, with a deep, melancholic voice that feels soothing, almost like a lullaby. His speech would be slow and calming (ideal for ASMR LOL), though sometimes his voice might get muffled under his veil, requiring listeners to strain to catch his words.

Adonis: He’d likely have an airy accent, contrasting with his rugged appearance. Years of smoking have affected his vocal cords after all. He uses a stern tone to assert his authority, but for added drama, he might lean in close and whisper “good [girl/boy/kid]” in your ear to gauge your reaction.

Rosario: He’d have a melodic accent, stretching his words to make them sound sweeter and more inviting. His sentences would have an ascending or cascading intonation, designed to capture attention and linger in memory. He’d coo softly, ensuring his voice resonates with those he speaks to.

Soooo bascially, omegaverse (Alpha/Beta/Omega [ABO]) is a storytelling setting that's become super popular in mangas/manhwas lately. It features characters as omegas, betas, or alphas. There are also subcategories for the omega and alpha roles, like submissive and dominant, plus a "switch" option where characters can change their traits. My friend and I were chatting about an ABO visual novel that we both played, and that got me thinking about it, haha!

Now as to how they would do in the setting and which trait they'd have... that could be a major spoiler XD but I can safely say that Merka would definitely be a Beta! LOL
