this is so good. the whole story, the art and everything!!! stunning work♥♥♥
Finally getting around to doing this review. "Chilling Devotion" already had me hooked with the game page alone. You can get an idea by the title alone what kind of game this is going to be. And the way it conveys that atmospheric and ambient environment is...well, chilling. One minute I feel safe and cozy in a cabin for two, to feeling isolated and paranoid of what might be lurking in those woods. I'm eager to see how Jim develops throughout our time with him. Compared to other yanderes, Jim's mannerisms and character feels more natural, more real? Really like the game so far, can't wait for the next update.
I ADORE THIS GAMEEE !! the art is sososo stunning & the storyline is so intriguing ! ineedjimsobad.... can not WAIT for day 3 !!!!
I LOVE ITTTT
I've already replayed the two days so many times now...I NEED MOREEEEEE
I really enjoyed this, and now im REALLY interested. Im waiting for continue.
I really enjoyed this. Great atmosphere and tension. Can't wait for more.
Ojala salga el dia 3 pronto..
This game touched me; it's such a good slow burn Novel. Hopefully Day 3 comes out before I replay Day 2 for the millionth time. Though, it doesn't seem like it's been updating frequently... Hope the devs come back this year!
Gurl, I'm begging, day 3 when?
we need more
fr
does anyone know when day 3 comes out?
I absolutely loved it♡,it's made with love♡.The background music, the ambient sounds, the gorgeous backgrounds, the super interesting story, and of course, Jim is both beautiful and mysterious guy♡. I wish best regards for your development and thank you for such excellent work.♡
It's been a year daddy I really really miss you mommy says you went to the store to get some milk
anyways im failing all my classes and mommy hits me very frequently
and she changed my name to tickle tipson
anyways daddy i forgive you for abusing me
please come back
I am soooo glad to have stumbled across this visual novel. It's visually pleasing as it is dark and disturbing. I can't wait for more days to be added!!
omggggg this is so good!! why have i never heard of this game before?? not even on tiktok!! i just love jim so much!! he is so awkward and subtly touchy!! the way he is always trying to touch our wrist to feel the pulse, or when he touches the cup where our lips were, even when he touched his own lips after the kiss!!1 its all so perfect!! I need moreeee!! please let the next update be soon!! please!! I am in love!!!1
the moment he blushed i was HOOKED!! He stole my heart and the story is so interesting, I really, desperately want to know more bout the lore!
the game feels really put together and intriguing. The artwork is beautiful and I love the animation work. Getting to play and try to make sense of the storyline has been fun. This game has been really fun and you're totally able to digest and understand. I can't wait to see what you chose to do with this game!
Beautiful work dev n everyone involved, I really enjoyed this novel all around so far !
oml the art is so pretty! Jim is so fine dog. The story telling and different choices are so cool and heartwarming. A spectacular game that ive put off long enough, absolute chefs kiss!!<3
Oh man this game is so freaking good, the art, the writing, the music, it's all so appealing and really immerses you, can't wait to go through all the different options I didn't pick my first playthrough :3
This game is really good, I was not expecting any kind of animation but wow, it really completes it. its honestly one of my new favorite games and I'm excited to see more from it!
not breathing until day 3...this man is driving me insane
i reeally love this game. as many others said before, the story is confusing and the dynamic and the interactions between the mc and jim is even more confusing but it draws me in... im so confused but also completely interested in their interactions its kind of addicting in a way. and like everytime i think something is gonna happen a completely other thing happens and that just makes me love this game more!! im so excited for day 3 to come out !
really loved the art and how dynamic the game is so far. as for the pace, i feel like the romantic choices go too fast too quick, if that makes sense? and the lack of response from y/n even though he was saying random things left me puzzled too. overall, i was pretty confused while playing and it made me want to know more.
this man is so fine i am freaking out
i need this dude so bad omg
idk what to say but i really enjoy the art and the game!
I love it can't wait for more!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
dude i love this..it feels very well written to me personally..i feel cozy playing the game but theres an eerie feeling..i love it! cant wait for day 3!
Its honestly confusing, but like in a good way, because its awkward at times and you think something will happen, but it doesn't and it's something else entirely, it keeps you on your wondering what happens next.
i really enjoyed it and cant wait for more chapters to be released
Can't wait for more!
Also, I really like the subtle animations, very well done, the art and the music are a solid 10/10 from meeeeDay 1 and 2 were so interesting I could see a few possible outcomes i wonder what will happen next
