NO-SKIN

Great game! Had a lot of fun getting all the memories, loved all the secrets. I do think the playable characters suffer from power inflation, but that may be a design choice. Overall a great time.

ok please add an are you sure button to the razor blade for Luna. I keep accidently clicking it

this is probably one of my favorite small horror games so far. I hope you'll get enough support to make even better ones

It feels finished enough...

I feel getting the living guts 2 or 3 times is a must to really beat the last bosses. I end up saving my nightshades or gunpowders for the 1st then final boss.

Plus getting the fossil always helps...

The only sortof bug i found is that the ability to spare monsters close to death should open a unique dialogue with the fossil, as sparing the fossil this way does not recruit them, even if getting to 1 health.

Also, getting the knife before finding the hanged man (before 30 skin, as after 30 the frogs sell different items), is very difficult (and pointless for future characters as it replaces good weapons). I had to do 3 unique playthroughs just to cut down the hanged man, before realizing all it did was give the item without losing health.

I was fully expecting cutting him down to give a special reward or unlock a new character or helper...

That would be cool considering just how difficult it is to cut him down...

Though, if i wanted to sound like an ass, i could mention how any knife should be enough to cut him down... I had to, sorry ...

Perhaps you could try to shoot him down too (With a chance you hit him, getting only blood fragments, and remove him for the rest of the playthrough) 

To balance the final character, perhaps she should be allowed to cut down the hanged man with her regular weapon, as she would never replace it for a knife. Also, the lighter was one of the last items i used, so perhaps it could grant a reward AND several cigarettes. Since i noticed you only really find cigarettes in the 1st half of a run and only get to use them on 1 enemy or boss (As using only 1 or two rarely helps). As such you are unlikely to have any for the 2nd half. Having a small and secret way to get a couple would help, those who actively seek them, such as by using the lighter.

Amazing experience! I've unlocked all I can but I have no clue how to get the final memory! any hints would be absolutely appreciated, thx<3

Is there a discord server or something?

As I said I really enjoyed myself playing this game and I think it shows in the vid so could you check it out, I would really appreciate that.

Full Commentary

Absolute fantastic roguelike game. The RNG really satisfied my gambling side. The lore. The unexpected element. I'm already ROOTing for this. Hope will be more content like voicelines or  enemies.

This is a great game. It has a good loop, a balance of strategy with RNG that is rewarding, rather than annoying. I did notice a few issues with the "translation" of a person (not saying more for spoiler reasons).

Examples:

ARE YOU STILL CONVINCED YOU ARE "KE"

YOURE "JVST" A PITIFUL COPY

"IK" THE ORIGINAL

literally the best game ive played on this site. sooo much fun and sooo much to uncover <3

Long-time roguelike playing, first-time commenting cuz this is literally  one of the best roguelike games I've ever played!  Great music and art, and also real creative character design making the gameplay truly diversified. The unexpected events are well designed too. My favourite one is where the game "crashes". All in all, 10/10. Looking forward to your future releases!

Never have I been so captivated by I world I knew so little about i have so many ideas and theories and questions. the game Itself doesn't feel unfinshed at all if It wasn't for the developer and the game saying it I legitimately wouldn't know. The only complaint I have is the unexpected events are a bit annoying notably the crimsion dancer one but other than that 10/10

I loved this, I am looking forward to the game final release, loved the story the character, I tried to give a review on steam but couldnt

Just played a couple rounds and got my first ending/memory! This is really great, and I can't wait to see the full release <3 !

It's the really creepy environment and the really cool design. I love the roguelike and pixel art. Nice game!

Played Steam demo, great atmosphere, and very engaging gameplay! Can't wait for full version.

I've had a blast figuring things out as I go, here's what I've got so far. A Discord server would be awesome since this seems like it's gonna be one of those lots-of-secrets kinda games.

10/10, I'll be looking forward to it being translated into Spanish, but I've almost completed it.

I loved how horror and roguelikes meet here! Can't wait for the release.

My only complaint is, I wish we could turn off the flashing red screen when we take damage to improve the accessability.

Wow man, what a game....
I literaly just created an account to leave a comment because this is an insane hidden gem ! I absolutely love the atmosphere, the lore, the easter eggs, everything ! It's one of the first time I'm spending a lot of time on a game like this one !
I do have one interrogation : I've unlocked every memory except the one just before noire... Is it because the game is not yet finished, as the crimson dancers seem to say? Or have I missed something...
Anyways, your game is incredible man I absolutely fell in love with it 

Great game don't know how your supposed to beat the boss after the deer headed man fight also I don't know if this is intentional but when you play as root or luna you can still encounter them as enemies leading to situations where you fight yourself. don't understand the lore at all for example no-skin man says you'll see the world as it really is and everyone becomes hositile to you. but if as luna you make the percentage obtained in order to find the skin negative you fight "the real mary" implying that the mary you find normaly is not real. Still missing the final two dream diary entries. I love this game and hope to see it grow in popularity and coverage.

Wow...

this  game is such a vibe, just dreadful atmosphere from the first few moments. Simple yet engaging gameplay, great surprises, doesn't give itself away right away, which I appreciate. Beautiful sound design and shader backgrounds a la Earthbound. Super stoked about the future of this game, I can easily see myself paying up to 10 bucks for this game. 

(I think Luna's encrypted speech might have two typos, switching some U's and V's here and there. Also I experienced some frequent slowdowns while playing with Xbox controller, I think this might be a Game Maker Issue though.)

Nice job dude 

Looks great!

the no skin man reminds of hisashi ouchi.

Nice game bro :)

This game is such a gem!! I played it for hours today, and it's so much fun!! I still need to get the rest of the dream journals, and I adore the more meta unexpected events ^^ I'm excited to pick it back up again and find out more about the encounters and story!

Finally got around to playing this again after the updates, and I've gotta say that this is incredible. More wonderful lore, more enemies, more characters, cool interactions between certain characters; this is fantastic. Even what I'm assuming to be secrets (breaking out of boundaries, specific character interactions between the player and a certain npc, etc.) are a joy to uncover. Honestly, I can't wait for there to be more content.

Also, it's nice that there's a Steam page for it. It sorta has that "official" feel to it, y'know? At least, I know some people have preconception about games on Itch.io, so hopefully having the option to play it on Steam will encourage more people to give it a try.

I can't really think of specific areas to improve upon at the moment, to be honest. The only thing I'm curious about is the frequency of unexpected events. Maybe it's because I was playing the game a long time, but it seemed to happen more frequently than I expected.  Perhaps I'm just that lucky (or unlucky depending on the context...)

Either way, really I'm just hungry for more content, and I eagerly await whatever you come up with next. Seriously, you've done a wonderful job so far, and I wish you the best in developing this game (or other stuff if you ever choose to do something else).

Truly an excellent game. The horror aspect is an interesting one, but the RPG elements of this game are very solid and enjoyable. The items are all useful (apart from cigarettes, lol). Luna as a character is probably a little too OP and could probably be nerfed, but I liked it nonetheless. So far I believe I've essentially finished what the game has to offer so far, with all except two dream diary entries unlocked. Still not sure what to do about the Deer Man and dimensional beings though :)

This game is very different from other roguelike games ive played.  I won't lie at first, I was a little frustrated because I felt too weak compared to the enemies but then I realized that items combined with praying (and luck from the RNG gods) make playthroughs a lot easier. Once I got good items, I had a bunch of fun!

I was able to complete one playthrough in ~50 minutes and i look forward to doing more to complete the dream journal! 

I stumbled upon this game and I'm very glad about it. The art style is appealing and the main  boss is a highlight for me. Gives me some hellraiser and fear and hunger vibes and I love it. The combat is simple, but fun. For the room mechanics, they can be confusing at  the beginning, but you will understand them quick. The long gilled fish and the frogs are venders for examble. The bosses are challanging, but in a dark souls way (at least for me). Hard but satisfying if you beat them. The game has allready a lot of contant. 

But since the new update my game crashes, if I try to start it and  this error message showes up. If you have a idea how to fix that please let me know.

I'm looking forward to new contant and updates and I recommend, you give this a try.

Recently I haven't been playing any type of game as I've been not only busy with school but kind of in a drought. When I had free time, I decided to look through itch under the horror category, as I typically enjoy horror games, and Im so glad I did because I found this game! Absolutely fell in love with the gameplay, artystyle, mechanics, everything with it is just perfect! I love it! Please keep up the great work, and I am looking forward to potential future updates, and I WILL be there to play them!!!

P.S: Is there a file, folder, or something I can access to see the full png's of the character sprites in the game? I love so many of them and would love to look at them as PNGs!!!
