Based on what I've played of Hermit's games there's always a really good twist waiting there somewhere that completely blindsides its players, and the twist for this one was great as per usual, didn't see it coming a mile away. Absolutely amazing, can't wait to see more!
Oh my stars I was on the edge of my seat the entire time while reading this!!! Absolutely loved this and oh my stars the plot twist was totally epic!!!!! Also the bad ending had my non existent cat ears perking like 👀 Once again a masterpiece UnknownHermit!!!!
Just finished playing and I absolutely loved. The atmosphere created really immerses you into the story. The development is so good, the tension created by the music really got me and the end for me really surprised me. I loved the characters and the way through the play. What a great story 💓
I'm a little sad it's only a demo (I know you're working on your other VN at the moment, which I definitely want to play soon, but I completely understand putting your time and energy into You and Him instead.)
[SPOILERS]
The story for Vile Strangers was quite intriguing. I liked the twist with the player character (it kinda caught me off guard. Although, looking back, there were certainly implications of who they were/what they've done peppered throughout the story.)
... and the business man in the bad ending was very unsettling (I wonder where the player character saw him before, besides at the bus stop?)
If you do decide to work on this one again at some point, I look forward to seeing where it goes. I want more of Theodore, and I definitely want to see how things end up for the player character.
Keep up the good work! You have excellent ideas, and I adore your character designs.
Unfortunately, since this was made during a game jam and I have other projects I'm looking to work on (YOU and HIM being the one I've got my main focus on), I think Vile Strangers will remain as is (with maybe slight adjustments later on that make the game easier to read).
This was so good!! I really loved this and the twist was so unexpected. I loved Theodore too, wish there was more to this story where we could hang out with the giant teddy bear <3
Ngl I saw the twist a little but it was so good for a short little game and I would love to see it fleshed out a bit more but for the game jam time this was rly good! Best of luck on your main project!

SO GOOD OMG
This was an amazing play! Finished it in one sitting. Can't wait for a possible chapter 2?
