Love the gameplay, the background and the story setting. it's really thrilling.It's beautiful, the interactions are charming too. The only thing I would say could be improved is the art style...but still it's a delicate game
Wow, that was a good game! Vast improvement over Aquatic Grave IMO, which was also a good game! Makes me wanna play the Cardinal Park Case as well! Keep up the good work LiminAce!
Another great game LiminAce! I know we played through it quick on stream but I really enjoyed this one and it's more controversial topics, even if in my opinion they shouldn't be controversial anywhere. Kinda messed up to say but I really did enjoy the ending and the connections you made to the Cardinal Park Case too (Sorry I didn't catch it right away lmao downsides to streaming). Wonderful art and music as usual too! Keep up the good work and good luck on The Cardinal Park Case or Whatever else you do next!
Btw I really loved that cute cat with the hat and it's clock-like tail wagging...
Terrifyingly bitter, yet at the same time beautiful, as if we're dancing to our doom. The last moment of a person, before they're gone encapsulated in the game. Sad that this sort of things still happens in the world...
As usual amazed how you're making all this game lmaoooo
ALSO DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE CARDINAL PARK CASE
The first thing I woke up to today is a LiminAce game jam lol, even though this one is shorter and has only one ending, it's still very decent and I enjoy it! Was almost lost at the candles puzzle tho, I really didn't notice the candles at the entrance for some reason.
Spoilers:
I was half expecting the end to be more uplifting but got crushed pretty hard ("Divinity" really forbids men having fun huh), I've heard some horrible stories about parents sending their "confused child" to camps where they have to go through shady program and training that are supposed to "fix" them or sth, most got themselves tortured mentally and physically just to get back in the box of normalcy, while other stories about random cults and religious groups literally poisoning followers for "enlightenment" are more common, this version of yours is definitely new (to me at least) and a little scarier, they performed an actual surgery on the main character which I don't think is possible in this day and age yet (or maybe I just don't know enough but that's still possible to some degree I guess).
I also like that there are references to the previous game - The Cardinal Park Case, shedding some light on the mom's background - Adalia Hallows, this also makes me wonder when her twin sister will appear (just noticed recently by watching Clock's playthrough), seems like everyone will be in double trouble as long as those 2 sisters are still around, and poor Asher didn't escape contractual marriage 🥲, he must have gone thru hell just like Clarence, at least he still retains some of his "self" I guess, btw the first time I saw him I thought he was Oliver in teenage years lol.
The only thing missing now is ManlyBadassHero playing this one (you know why), it'll be epic, but hopefully no one will get too mad about this whole religion bad thingy once this game reaches certain high. Good work and keep it up!
And just like usual I also made a playthrough! I remember there was a spare word "to" somewhere in the dialogues, but everything else works fine.
Thank you for playing!!! I always look forward to your playthroughs!
Spoiler:
The surgical process performed on Clarence is a lobotomy. It was something that people would force others into if they weren’t considered to be “normal.” However, the process would usually leave the patient extremely docile and detached from reality, assuming they even survived it.
About the religion thing, I don’t think that people will get mad unless they happen to be insanely hypocritical! The religious critique is mostly against hypocrites that use religion as a means to propagate terrible things.

Thanks for the information, now I'm gonna have temporary paranoia about needles sticking up my prefrontal cortex 💀
