Jim's carved rabbit inspired me to get into wood carving myself, and the first thing I made was the same rabbit. I truly love this game and can't wait for the next update!
Haganlo para Android porfabor😢
Chilling Devotion is one of my current favorite games of the moment and I think it will stay as a fanaticism in me. Being one hundred percent honest, I didn't expect so much content, but it's VERY entertaining to play, it makes you think a lot about the story, the atmosphere, everything is well drawn and finished, even the detail that there are elements that move, like Jim's eyes or the fire, are a great visual contribution and keeps you immersed. I give it a 10/10, a big fan of your work!
i loved it, really looking forward to more days :')<3

Mysterious game and Iove it.Also beautiful art. But the font is hard to read. English not my native language and sometimes its hard understand. I hope you will add more fonts.

Hi Remina! I'm a beginner translator interested in voluntarily localizing your game into Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR). If you're interested, I would love to help :)
como brasileira eu apoio!!
up
Oh my god this game is so well-written and insanely detailed and the ART holy shit I really hope this gets continued <33
This novel is truly lovely, kudos.
Jim kinda looks like Tuffnut form httyd, but anyways this game is so peak
This is the best, please make another day, FEED ME, RESPONSIBLE FATHER FEED ME
Españolll pliss
Ya está en español. Busca tutorial en tiktok
AHHHHHHHH OK GRACIASSSSSS
I loved it! I'm eagerly awaiting the continuation 🥹
Hey! Just letting you know there's a typo on Day 1: "Jim gets up and holds out a hand to take my empty mug from you too. Trying to be a gracious host to you."
I'm so interested to see more of this project. The storytelling, art, and atmosphere are a real treat (I really like how you've drawn the snowy trees and animated the snow to change directions! The music/sound effects are also unintrusive while aiding immersion).
Aaaaaaa I loved this. SPOILERS
The flashes of something supernatural that is hinted is so interesting. And I loved figuring out that the animal Jim carves for you can change based on what you do. Can't wait to see where the story is going!
What other carvings are there? I've only been able to get the rabbit
You can also get a fox or a wolf. If you're only getting rabbit you're being very nice/meek with Jim. Try being less so :)
Oh yeah this is was good, I for sure will play if there is more.
alguien sabe el por que no se a actualizado este juego o si es que hay retrasos ???
La creadora tiene otro proyecto, y también esta en una banda, eso sumado a que ella trabaja sola, pone muchas decisiones y empeño; parece ser la causa del retraso. Sin embargo en año nuevo hizo un post en dónde decía que lo esta dando todo y que no lo ha olvidado.
oooooh vale, ella si que es una todo terreno, espero que se libre pronto y tenga tiempo de seguir con la novela. gracias por avisar me
day threeeee pleeasseee
This is so cool i legit cannot get enough
I'll give my money to this when I get paid, soon yayyy
I loove how sometimes Jim can be sweet and adorable towards MC, (yet those little creepy remarks give away the creep vibes just in the right way).
Tho, i have a little headcanon that for 100% he has to make himself a lot of groats, cuz duuh, not only is it easy to make but also it's caloric so you'll be full wihtout much effort.
+his cooking is good, and so is his butcher skills (+ hunting(?)) !!!
Hope you'll keep going with this game and do not forget about ur little fans :D
good game bro!!!
loove the vibe of this game, can't wait for the other days! <3
Una completa obra de arte <33
LOVE so well thought out I NEED MORE CANT WAIT
i love this game so much, i adore jim!! i am in DESPERATE NEED for more days :((( take ur time!!1
THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!
I did not expect it to be so fun, but it is truly captivating. I'm completely charmed by Jim ♥. The mystery with him and the entity in the woods is really intriguing.
Thank you so much for this game! I can't wait for more! :D
I keep thinking about this game, it's so good.
