This is so beautiful. I loved how you represented gender dysphoria, it is so creative and thematic. The art, music and writing were all so lovely and delicate. I also really liked how the fascination with dolls is something more complicated than them just being pretty, very relatable. Just a wonderful gem of a game!!
Thank you very much for playing! I wanted to try and depict the dolls in this story as more than just their apperances and the struggle of their identities being tied to that. I'm glad that mixture came through.
gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. your art is always so very very beautiful and stunning, but the story was also touching and woven well within it. can a doll only serve one purpose? can we choose what sorts of pain we want to endure? is it better to feel nothing at all?
truly a gorgeous little game. thank you so very much for participating. amazing work as always.
yay!! thank you for the kind words and thank you for hosting the jam!! I had a good time making this and I learned a lot about dolls + kigu during the development, hoping to keep learning and make more art about dolls now too,, ^_^
Such a pretty game where art and gui fit well together. The story is beautiful, with the different parts eventually coming together and the repair of dolls as a recurring motif. Even the gory and dysphoric parts set up a calm and satisfying conclusion.
Thanks so much for making it.
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Operation that gives you ball joints.
Trying to be a human is very hard. Sometimes it is easier to simply become a doll, or maybe a kind of creature.
hehe,, a doll is a kind of creature I believe I would like to be
Really lovely art and UI... the story is mysterious but so evocative! I really liked it! <3
Thank you for playing !! ^w^
This is so good... your art is so pretty and I really connect with the emotions in this. A doll is made for a singular purpose, but maybe we can choose it ourselves...
Thank you so much ! I'm glad that the emotions resonated, I hope that dolls will be able to have pleasant dreams forever.
I loved this! I enjoyed the disorienting feeling early on and I think the pieces of the story fell into place well, and your character art is super super cute, as were the outfits.
Thank you very much for playing! I'm happy to hear the early portion was enjoyable. ^_^
