Hello, I'm roomukurei. You may have heard of me as the person who made Kelen Castle.

I'm currently developing a prototype game for future use to test some voice acting stuff and I'd really appreciate some feedback from the community.

The game is more on abstract puzzles and I'm hoping to polish it later with illustrations and proper voice acting for the scenes. So far 1/3 of the scenes are available, while the other 2 are still in placeholder as I am waiting for the VA and the illustrator to submit the requirements for the scenes. Also, please take note that the scenes are foot-focused as this type is what I agreed with the illustrator.

For more information, please go here: https://www.deviantart.com/roomukurei/art/Eternal-Happiness-V1-5-892024886

I hope to keep the games I make 100% free, and I appreciate all the help I can get.

Thank you so much for your time.

I'm going to be honest, I lost interest fairly quickly. Maybe punishing point and click style games are simply not my type of genre, but whilst the narrative seemed intriguing, being unable to save my progress made me stop playing after the second unceremonious instant death. These wouldn't have been so bad, if I had the feeling that the game was promising me a reward at some point. One way to possibly achieve that, could be to add some spice to the game over scenes, not only to make them less disheartening, but also to let the player know what they can expect if they try again. The abstract story you wrote here was almost enough to keep me playing regardless though, so I think you're on the right track here.
I'll definitely keep an eye on this project though and give it another go, once it's finished. You're clearly going for something very unique and interesting here, with a production value that hasn't been seen in this niche genre yet.

Thank you for the reply.

I've taken into account the critique and added some features. Game is now complete. Links have been updated.

Please enjoy.

Great to see some fresh work rolling in! A bit high-concept for my tastes, but still enjoyed working through it.

Gon be honest, i don't really know what to do even on the first task, tried a few things and i ran out of stuff to interact with.. or at least i think so

Unlocked two of the three endings, and it allows me to rewatch them and hints me what I need to do for the last one, murderer. Time to kill as much as I can and see what I get.

EDIT: Still the mirth ending, but I picked up the vegetables alongside the drugged ones, perhaps should just have left them. Save file is corrupted now (no NPCs when starting new game). Will delve into this later.

I got stuck there too, but someone in DA helped: Check the bathroom wall with the cracks.

I love the ambient sounds in the Void, tormented female laughter that has given in to the tickles with hints of pleasure. I also like the female barefoot stepping sounds of your character's walks. It does set the right mood for the different endings.

So it is not a bug. I was there already. Thank you so much. The last scene unlocked. This game requires two playthroughs and then you get the third ending in your third. Fun short game, even if it confused me at the start. I enjoyed it.
