Just got the true end and my gosh, I am hooked!!! It's absolutely amazing and I had so much fun playing. The art is so so gorgeous as well and just makes the experience even more enjoyable. I also really enjoyed how the game just keep showing me more stuff and I absolutely can't get enough. I haven't gotten all the endings so I'm about to go and do just that. Thank you for this wonderful game!!!
i love this game very much, its simple yet entertaining and i adore the art style! currently im trying to get the dogcat route after i got the true ending (which was SO CUTE?????) im having trouble figuring out how to survive the money issue after robbing the bank,... could i possibly get a hint? please im begging im deperate for that ending
hmmmmmmm i have to honest i'm afraid you have to redo the entire thing? if you're at the point when you have to rob bank and fail afterwards it's probably hopeless uwu but actually it doesn't matter how you resolve the money issue to get the catdog route, you can as well build your bitcoin empire, it won't matter; let me still give you the example with how to get the entire ending including an extra scene of them too; spoilers spoilers spoilers on weekends make sure to allow acoite to "laze around" regularly "grant its wish and hope it leaves you alone" (pizza delivery) "channel the power of the undead" (for the girl with a huge backpack's wish) upgrade insight to 35 "agree" (certainly a lich) upgrade soul navigation to 30 "deny your connection" (after first time meeting death) upgrade compassion to 50 "give mental health advice" (filmmaker) upgrade the abyss or "the divine order" to "25" "refuse" (chtulhu)
i believe that the rest doesn't matter and does not affect it in any way
I'm not finished this yet but I want to share some funny moment
so.. I was forgot to take my antidepressant today but I got to the part that we talk with the octo-god and mentioned about antidepressant. that's reminded me to take my pill
tldr thanks to you I don't have to restart my 2 years journey
Just finished playing the game, I thought this was quite fun! Love the humor and Theodores personality. I do want to ask is there a way to not make that little litch cry i felt so bad!
Firstly, if you outright refuse their request, they'll leave on a more hopeful note;
And, if acoite's insight is 35 or higher OR his affinity to "the abyss" 10 or higher (which can only be unlocked if acoite was a bad kitty on day 6 and is currently on godly probation) then you can actually talk to lich a little further without making them cry;
This is such a fun game! I love the wry sense of humour and the aesthetics; the art is gorgeous! Unfortunately I keep getting killed by Cthulhu no matter what choices I make haha, but it's been fun digging into this VN and seeing all of the various scenes. There's a lot to discover here, and the characters are very charming!
Thank you for blessing me with a cute cat-eared god; the world needs more catboys >_<;;
you need divine order 100 and potence + minions 10 to beat cthulhu; you get 1 potence point for lazing around once and 3 minions for every minion summon
This game is so much fun!! I've played games from both devs and coming together, it came so nicely. Both the art and the writing compliment each other so well. I know I'm going to spend a couple more hours getting more endings! Great game :D
Incredibly fun game! The art and writing is wonderful! Though it seems like the game is refusing to let me continue it heh...even if get Divine Order to 100 and summon a lot of minions I can't seem to defeat Cuthulu...
you get potence by lazing around during weekends. to win, you need >10 of potence+minions (one 'lazing around' gives 1 potence, one 'summon minions' gives 3 minions)
"potence" + minions OVER 10 and divine order equaling 100
each time acoite lazes around during the weekends he gets 1 "potence" point; each time he summons minions, he summons 3 of them.
some follower events and choices make him spend potence points tho, so you gotta let him laze from time to time throughout the story. . . and if you're aiming for true ending dont forget to let acoite spend time with theodore. . . and im very sorry to tell you that chtulhu fight is not even the last difficult stat check. . . wishing you all the luck. . .
I know Theodore is probably the only romanceable character, but I chased after Death so hard XDD He's such a good boy and CAT X DOG IS JUST SO CHARMING OK
awesome game, the art is so good and there's NO bugs in such a long game!! It's almost sad how easy Acoite can just die, like I will TIE him on the living plane if I have to!!! >:)
Acoite will always just be so charming to me as I bend my will like hot steel to ship Theo x Acoite. Honestly, regardless this game is just SO FUN as a whole XD
but, there is an ending that can be interpreted as a Death romance route!~
(and we do plan to have more scenes and a special CG with him in the extended edition) (our artist also ships them all together in a threesome polycule) (so there will probably be some poly content, too)
WHICH ENDING PLS I JUST NEED THE NAME :33 I WILL DEATH GRIP THIS STUPID KITTY (AFFECTIONATELY) LIKE HE'S SO CUTE MY GOD (also pls make a skip seen dialogue button ok ily)
ah, the Death ending is called 'Mercy and mortality'!
also, ren'py has a built-in skip function! just hold 'CTRL' while you play to skip over seen text! (you can also skip unseen text if you checkmark it in settings)
First of all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this game so much! The variability, the characters, the humor, the art, the character designs, the honestly pretty insightful comments on the nature of concepts, the worldbuilding, the fact that you play as an eldritch catboy god, all of it! You did a great job with this game and it's honestly so fun to play and explore the different paths!
Second, I did find a bug! When you try and fail to rob a bank and ask for money from the gods and get it, there's a ValueError: could not convert string to float: '=0.1' which I believe is caused by the quotes being around the equals sign as well as the value itself, so hopefully should be an easy fix!
you know what the art, themes, and writing for this game were already enough to get my undying respect & love But the genuine fuckin.. sense of accomplishment every time i actually was able to change something after going back and fiddling with stats a million times? unmet, dude..... the epic highs and lows of VIDEO GAMES ARE HARD I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE to oooh SHIIIT i am a GENIUS i know EVERYTHING video games are SO EASY. very fun and lovely experience, colored my whole weekend, especially big fan of the simple yet godsent(lol) features of the "back" button. thank you for the food!!!!!!!! so yummy :3c
Highly recommend! The art is great and the writing is So funny and enjoyable. The characters are really endearing too!
some lightly spoilery notes below --
The tips for endings are a lifesaver! I don't tend to have the stamina to tinker with stat-raising games to get multiple endings but I was able to get the "true end" after a few tries. I found myself playing for quite a while today trying out some different things but haven't managed to get the difficult-to-get ending quite yet. Would love some more detailed tips for the endings at some point!
Lovely game. A cohesive look and simple but interesting designs. I love the music, but I'm not sure where it's from from your credits. Regardless, many interesting ideas presented.
(Copypasted from the Spooktober jam rating page to help this title with Itch.io's algorithm)
I like this title a lot! The art is lovely and the writing is wonderfully witty and smart.
I ended up enjoying Acoite a lot as a character - he's really endearing, and since I was going for a high compassion run with my stat-raising, his advice to other characters in the setting was really profound. As a creator myself, I think about the advice he gave the troubled filmmaker a lot: genuinely good stuff right there. Theodore is a lovely deuteragonist too: I enjoyed reading his philosophical discussions with Acoite.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to make it through to a proper ending in the game. I think I might've accidentally softlocked myself into the bad ending where Acoite goes up against Cthulhu and fails to win. I tried raising my Divine Pantheon stat in one playthrough, and my Void stat in another - but neither of these strategies worked against this scenario.
That said, I see you're working on an endings guide at the moment, so I'd love to come back to this game and get a proper ending once it's available: because I really do enjoy what's here.
PLEASE BEGGING SOBBING ON MY KNEES. please give us a detailed instruction manual or smth on how to get the endings like I am DESPERATELY p l e a d i n g.
i'm still trying to figure out how not to die and continue progressing but! this is a lovely game with charming art and writing. I absolutely love the back-and-forth between acoite and theodore
(oh, and we have some tips for how to reach the endings... but if they won't help, drop us a comment and we'll elaborate on how to avoid being yeeted out of the human realm!)
After a few trials and error i finally got to the True End and it was so worth the effort! i'm just... them... sob sob cry sob i love them so much you have no idea
I want to preface that this something I encountered through many different play throughs and did not mention in previous posts to not detract from the review but on week 33 Ethics 101 I get an error. This is not an issue as you can click the ignore button and simply move past it, but I figured this could be an issue for some people and wanted to do my part to help. I can post the full error code with all the traceback text if that would help.
Lovely game, I cannot sing its praises enough, I spent multiple hours doing multiple play-throughs to get different results and "endings". The character designs and portraits are outstanding and very appealing to the eye, the lore is without a doubt one of the best examples of worldbuilding I've seen in a while, and the meme-ability and self-awareness are wonderful- I won't spoil any of the jokes but I love the bit with the spam email. 10/10 would gladly recommend.

on weekends make sure to allow acoite to "laze around" regularly
"grant its wish and hope it leaves you alone" (pizza delivery)
"channel the power of the undead" (for the girl with a huge backpack's wish)
upgrade insight to 35
"agree" (certainly a lich)
upgrade soul navigation to 30
"deny your connection" (after first time meeting death)
upgrade compassion to 50
"give mental health advice" (filmmaker)
upgrade the abyss or "the divine order" to "25"
"refuse" (chtulhu)i believe that the rest doesn't matter and does not affect it in any way
darn back to the beginning, but anything for that route ty

The humour is stellar and I had a great time with my dear little Kitty Eldritch Lovecraftian Deity being a very unhinged but totally helpful God.
thank you so much for playing!

ERDFDRDHFSDFG I'LL DO MY BEST 💖💖 morally grey human x god of death HERE I COME???
I'm absolutely in love with this game, even though I do wish there was some kind of way of knowing which endings I've already gotten.
All in all, love it, the best I've played in a while honestly.
hey! thank you for playing! we have updated it... now you can see the endings...........

Ah, thank you so much! There was a typo, we hotfixed it! Version 1.01 should work properly now.
