Really good game, I like how it basically loops. And the twist was a good one too.
thank you! glad you enjoyed it <3
Everyone in the comments who didn't get the Krys ending... I did first try because I'm whipped and didn't even speak to Stoker just ran back to Krys...
Really cute game
Plot and ending were predictable but still cute
omg haha
thank you! im glad u enjoyed it <3
cute!
thank you!
yes hello! so this is my first time posting a comment so I don't mean to be rude but the game has an issue, I've talked to everyone and Idk if it's supposed to be that way but I just can't talk to Krys. I can only talk to him in the kitchen where he keeps telling me that he could help me talk to mx monny which I've already done and made her cry. also the lady keeps telling me that Jeff scratched my face and the butler doesn't have time. Would be helpful if you had a walkthrough and I'm not sure how to talk to Krys now. I was wondering if you could help. thank you!! <3
ok yeah nevermind I figured it out
Thank you for playing and glad you figured it out!! It's a lot of just talking to every sprite to get further in the game yeah >.<;; I was also not as great with variables back when i made this i'll admit haha ..and i did have a thought for writing a walkthrough and i might actually have written one but it might be lost,, i apologize because i'm not sure if im willing to write one basically because it would require me to replay the game and i've played it so many times, i really just don't want to xD im sorry! definitely wouldn't mind if someone else writes one though haha
this is such a cool game! and i still didn't get the other ending but i will try and get it, perhaps some little clues would help others to get it ya kno? (also happy new years!!!!!)
aw thank you for playing!!! really glad you've enjoyed it! i actually answered how to get the ending in another comment before 😅 and while i was looking for it also seems like i mentioned i had a walkthrough?? i wonder if thats in my dev post 🤔 i dont remember 😂 (and yes,, i had to go find the comment because the only other way i could remember is play my game and uh im a bit tipsy and not about to play on my phone,,,) EITHER WAY here's what i wrote before:

"getting the other ending is basically just not talking to stoker at the end but going back inside the mansion, i mostly planned having a single ending but then the second one kinda snuck up on me and i had to add it"
i hope im not too late and this helps!!!! <3
you aren't late and thanks for the information! I thought it had something to do with that room that never gets unlocked, but this is way simpler ;D
yeah i wasnt intentionally trying to make it hard but i definitely understand how it can be unintuative!
I like this a lot. Tried so many times to get Krys ending though, it was quite lovely and worth it.
aw thank you!!! it means a lot that you didn't give up and actually wanted to find the other ending!! i'm sorry it took you a while to figure it out though >.<;; i did actually spoil it somewhere in these comment replies but it's probably kind of burried by now,,,
i didnt expect to love this game as much as i did !!!! id love to make fanart ( if i have the motivation ) might be a bit hard , but if i do , ill link it .
amazing job on the game ( and too anyone who helped ) its probably in my top 3s !!
aw THANK YOU ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡ definitely looking forward to it if u do make anything! and totally understand if u never get around because i understand,,, been rough with motivation for me as well 😔
!!!!! that means so much to me 🥺💜💜💜
AH THANK U FOR PLAYING, GLAD U ENJOYED IT 🥰 uh no clue really haha i guess u can always just post it anywhere and then link it?? bc i def would love to see it 👀
Krys how could you!?
xD guess they could...........
*wheeze* Oh my goodness. Like, when I first started playing this game, I was all 'serious face' then the moment I read the dialogue "Damn they were hot" I just couldn't. I was like, is this the mysterious murder game I expected it to be, or is it a oddly captivating romance visual novel??? Either way, I absolutely loved playing this game, great work!!!
(also, I'm totally gay for Krys)omg thank you!!! this is kinda the best xD i cant believe u were ready for a serious game,,,,, i just,, channeled all my gay into this game haha
(nice another member for the gay-for-krys club!)i'm so glad you enjoyed playing it!! :D <3
:)
(Edit: i just played some of your other games, and I got to say, I really like your style!!! They're all really quirky, fun, and unique!!)
(thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3)
I know I'm very late to the party, but this game is outstanding. The characters are beautifully written, and just about everything is amazing
The only problem I had was the fact I couldn't tell the difference between the character's dialogue when there were 2 or more characters speaking (such as Krys and Johny), so I'd suggest giving each character a unique text colour in future games.
But besides that, this game is amazing and I absolutely loved it. 10/10 would play again.
thank you so much!!!!! i'm so glad u enjoyed it!!! :D
yeah,, i would need to use another hack to get more colours in the dialogue which is why... it ended up like this because i was very tired,,
Well, either way, this was amazing.
I'm definitely going to check out more of your projects.
thank you <3 <3 <3 <2 <3
uwu
So... the only way to survive is to become a corrupt cop and toss aside all morals to be with a psychopathic criminal?! Don't get me wrong, I love the game for the graphics/music/programming, but I feel like the only way you 'win' is by following wHaT iS sUpPoSeDLy LoVe. The story kinda reminds me of pretty much every Episode story ever, where to make the reader feel like they've won, they have to choose the 'love' ending. What's wrong with the single life? Or just being a good cop?
look............ im just a dumb gay,, and its just a stupid story i wrote on the fly that i didn't put a lot of thought into nor editing..
I get that. I just get over analytical
sometimesall the time. I still think the ending could've been better, but I don't mean to come off as arrogant or rude.(Also, was that a typo being a 'dumb gay' or 'dumb guy'?)
no typo... im just gay..
gay for krysI too am a dumb gay and the above interaction just hit me different, so I'm putting my comment here even though I should probably be starting a new thread? Idk the etiquette.
When I first walked in the mansion, I thought "oh no, they're a monster fucker," but by the end I was thinking "oh no, I'm a monster fucker." In other words, this game was a lot more compelling then I expected it to be. I accidentally did the morally superior route, and I had to replay the whole game to see the "get with Krys" ending. It was worth it.
All of the music choices slapped, and set the mood really well. I also love the colors in this game? Wow the artistry.
I feel like I'm rambling. Mostly I just wanted to say, thanks for taking the time to make this cool little story.
aw thank you!! (i have no clue how threads work on itch or rly the etiquette,,,) im really glad you enjoyed it!!! from one dumb gay to another- thank you for playing!!! (*´ω｀*)
even though I can´t stress enough how much this is INSANE good, I couldn't contain myself from trying, so...
fuck
those characters are something else, the lines are so well put for each one of them, after little time in the game, it's clear that they have unique personas. The music choise for each place was p from perfect, and the bitsy design? fucking lord, couldn't fit better. but, I think that the final result, this entire game, is what got entirely. Both endings have their own way of fulfilling the story and finishing it with a chef kiss [EVEN though I have a favorite myself /can't stand letting krys without kisses/]. The little detailed dialogues and all of the other little things made it special.
Thats not my first time here, but i came to terms that you deserved a big BIG annoying attempt of thanking you for doing such an INSANE good thing. Perhaps that's enough.
gosh ;o; thank you!!!! this is sooooo nice to hear!! you literally made my whole morning so much better <3 <3 <3 (i just didn't have enough to reply earlier) i've reread your comment like 5 times and it just makes me so happy i want to cry! thank you again and its not annoying in any way!!!!! <3 <3 <3
I accidentally did the wrong ending and had to immediately run back through to kiss krys
haha x'D thank u for playing!!
so good and lovely im die
also thank u v much for The Making Of page, i am not v experienced in code yet and couldn't figure out what stuff to fiddle with for the colors lol but now i am emboldened !!! empowered!!!!!!!
i played for both endings and it was gud. Thank u v much.
THANK U!!!!! *^///^*
anything i kno to do is bc friends have helped me! im very much a baby at code myself! but im always glad to help and show my process for stuff!! HELL YEAH!! FIDDLE WITH THOSE COLOURS AND TRY NEW THINGS AND DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP! (are u on the bitscord (bitsy discord) server? if not its rly great! everyone is very helpful and nice and all the Coding Wizards of Bitsy (and in general) are on there!!
aah im glad u liked it enough to replay >w< 💖💖💜💜
AAAAAH THANK YOU!!!!! ｡･ﾟﾟ*(∩>///o///<∩)*ﾟﾟ･｡
yeah krys is terrible but just,,,, i love them haha,,, well i love all the characters!! i basically usually only have the roughest of outlines for dialogue so most of it was made up on the fly so i just got super attached to all the characters and i'm glad that anyone playing my game seems to really like them all too!!! johnny is one of my fav sprite designs heehee i mean all of them are very simple and similar in ways but :P
THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING!!!!!!! YOU'RE COMMENT HAS GOT ME GRINNING SO HARD SO LEGIT THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Woah, this game is absolutely stunning! I was hooked the whole was through, so much fun! :D Now to get the good ending lol
thank you!!!!! ✧(๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧ haha the good ending isnt really hard to get plus there's a hint in the comments heh
I found it really easily :) it's a very well designed game <3
thanks :3 yeah i didn't want to make it too difficult! i actually didn't really think i was even going to make another ending but well i don't actually like bad endings so,,, i made the good one last minute basically xD
okay I just finished this game and I love it so much! I'm not a big fan of murder mysteries but the characters in the game got me good. It's really interesting and unique, especially Neo who is a very weak mc, (unlike in most games where mcs are strong) which makes him different and somewhat relatable. Weirdly enough I like Krys... is that morally wrong? :p But anyway if you ever continue this series I'm happy to wait and play it!
thanks you ♡(∩ꈍoꈍ∩)♡ yeah neo is kinda weak huh i never really thought about it but thats the way it happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ its ok i really like krys! (did you get the good ending? bc theres two~) tho i guess i created it all so of course i like everyone!
no plans on continuing it yet but if i think up of a sequel then i totally will make another game!! i really do love these characters <3
thank you again for playing!!!! i'm really glad you enjoyed it (ꈍᴗꈍ)
Now that I think about it... I think I got the bad ending? I dunno I'll try again to get the other ending (which I assume is the good one).
Also looking at the older comments I found your art style and it's really cute, like can you make a game based on that? (Like a visual novel or something). I would totally play that! But I'm not pushing you to do anything, 'cause I'm ready to patiently wait for whatever you're gonna post next.
Till then, I'm gonna play your old games to keep me entertained... so yeah :)
yeah i think i even gave a hint for the second ending, its not too hard to find! hope you do and you like it or something :3
aw thanks!!! it's just one of my styles i guess, not sure if i'll use it for a visual novel/etc but who knows! i will prob attempt something in the much more distant future but for now low graphics have been easier tho it might change! i surprise myself something
awww i hope you enjoy my other games!!! <3 <3 <3
I've never felt attached to any bitsy game characters until I played this??? Like, I'd draw a fanart of this if I get a clear picture of the characters??? It'd be nice if this was series. I'd literally continue playing it til the day you end the series :")
omg omg omg THANK YOU!!!!! i have no clue if i’ll ever make it into a series but i might give it a sequel!! i really love these characters (*^▽^*)
.....i have truly only.. um... thought of them as how the pixel sprites look (plus it lets ppl imagine whatever they want) but u kinda made me curious so...... here’s what i got:
not exactly happy with lili’s bangs but oh well i’ve run out of steam >x<;;;
..ok fine heres a even quick scribble... this is more like it??
are those horns?? or ears??? most likely horns bc i gave them actual ears but who even knows????? i have no clue!! thats my secret... i never think things through! ah ha ha...
thank you for playing my game!!!! legit gosh this comment made me so happy!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm glad to hear that my comment made you happy qwq
I'm proud to say that I literally played (almost) all of your games because of the unique avatar designs and the interesting stories~! My other favorite games of yours is "h e l l"~! My favorite part is when one of the sinner of lust said, "I used to write a lot of kinky slash fanfics.." XD
Oh yeah, about Jeff's fringe, it kinda remind me of those lines that appears whenever an anime character is creeped out so I'm not really sure if those are fringe or not TT
I ship Neo and Krys together lmao. They remind me of my own characters. One is the leader of a yakuza group, the other is part of the police force.
aaaah thank u!!!! (〃ω〃) im so glad you have enjoyed my games!!!!
haha yeah some of the “sins” in that game are great if i can say so myself x’D
oh yeah woops i think i forgot jeff’s fringe... pretty sure tho are just sulking lines hahahaha oops
i mean neo and krys are Canon UwU (did u get the “good” ending?) ooh the premise of your characters reminds me of a bl manga! honestly like yakuza/police is Good Stuff 👌🏻
Really??? Wow, I didn't know that! I kinda got the bad ending since I don't really know how to get the good ending??? qAq
And yeah, the characters are from a bl manga that I'm currently working on uwu
SPOILER ALERT!!! oh gosh im replying so late so no clue if you've found it or not but getting the other ending is basically just not talking to stoker at the end but going back inside the mansion, i mostly planned having a single ending but then the second one kinda snuck up on me and i had to add it
ooh nice! sounds interesting :3c
o wow, that was fucking fantastic; the story was incredibly enjoyable, the characters were well made, and the story well told. Besides the music, that I genuinely liked
I felt in complete immersion :)
well done, good stories make new worlds.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! i'm glad you enjoyed it and liked it so much!! that's so nice to hear :'D
That's such a well told & detailed story. Great graphics & the audio worked really well with it. :)
thank you :'D <3 <3 <3 <3
"lmao my guy"
this game is so On-Brand for Onion that i exploded 10/10
im a simple gay, emma
THANKS!!! IM REALLY GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT especially after u replayed it a bunch and like looked at the messy file.. THANKS FOR HELPING ME OUT!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
i finally got the time to play this and WOW ONION THIS IS AMAZING????????? The colors and the characters and the dialogue holy wowowow!!! I felt compelled to run through it twice to get both endings hahaha.
aw THANKS :'3c thats so nice to hear!! (i hope you didnt encounter any issues haha) all i can say in my defense... im g a y heh which is why i added the second ending.... im really glad you enjoyed it enough to play it twice!!!! <3 <3 <3
Fantastic game! The art is extremely well done with so much detail. Gonna have to read your devlog to see how you made all the it all. The dialogue, while great, had a few issues in places (mostly the color changes indicating who is talking is sometimes missing ).
I had to restart because I was stuck after talking to everyone.
thanks!!! :3
yeah i hoped in places the dialogue kinda made sense who was talking?? bc i just wasn't in a good frame of mind to also figure out the custom text colours hacking to have more than the.. well mostly 2 colours, i kno the dialogue for protag and their thoughts are both basically white..
yeah many ppl kept getting stuck and i just dont kno where the issue is.... that why i posted the link for the quick "walkthrough" so at least if ppl restart they can sort of skip... i need to learn to better figure out these pesky variables and keep track of everything lol
Wow, what an awesome murder mystery! I really wanted to know what was behind the locked door, but I couldn't find a way to open it. Still! The choice of what to do at the end - both sides are super compelling. Being a queer romantic mess of course i went for monster love, but it was really interesting seeing Neo beat themselves up over the other choice as well. Great job on your game, the atmosphere, colors, and everything all together were amazing! Special props especially to the multiple colors in each room. I can't wait to try it out myself!
Thanks!!!!!!! :3 yeah that hallway door is just bc ~design~ (spaced looked bare with only one door) but if i had more time and was like not that tired i prob would have done something for it.. i bet its just a supply closet?? bc i think putting a bedroom near the door to the room seems weird mmmm i guess another office could be.. but i do like the sound of a supply closet ha ha
yeah idk which ending is “canon”.. i guess they both are but yeah im super there for the “good” one (i actually didnt have this one planned at first i think but like come on like i could resist it! tragedy isnt my typical thing so yeah :p
hell yeah good luck!!!
No comments?
Everyone is probably just waiting for a big chunk of free time to go through it all
or they probably just all said everything in the discord to you already
i think its so long that the few ppl who finished it have just told me stuff directly ha ha (mostly bc i had to help them get to the end bc bugs/issues >.<;;) and everyone else is still trying to find time to play it ha ha its a lot of text......
