Fall First Fall Endless [DEMO]

I'm free from college permanently and I was in a haze because it's been so long since I last did any of my hobbies but I remember your announcement about this demo and just HAD to try it.

And oh my god is it so good! I can really see not only did the art get better (especially for the character sprite as Cole has a lot more detail and well-proportioned... or is it because he's quite deliciously buffed-- EHEM) but also the writing really improved! I know that Sage must have helped with the writing and I love how subtle the pushiness and the way Cole was written.

He really did have that subtle yandere vibes to him but you really can't tell when he begins talking because it sounds so chill and laidback, like a go with the flow kind of dude. But I really liked how his possessiveness became apparent when it came to a cute ice cream shop lol. Like, the simplest things he has to guard with his life, so what if it's something important to him?

I also love the divertion at the beginning with That Guy, I thought for sure he would be the yandere given his overt yandere and obsessive behavior (and the butcher knife charm, really subtle) so I am extremely curious if That Guy will be Cole's rival/antagonist since there's only 1 love interest and Cole is guarding that role.

What I also find interesting is the music, the song playing at the title screen is really sweet and catchy, but there was that brief moment of it going off-key and changing the atmosphere of the music for one brief moment before quickly fixing it. I find that it matches well with Cole, because when MC noted Cole's weird reaction he's quick to himbo his way out of it. It doesn't help he got them innocent charming looks because jesus did I look at Cole with all those choices.

Overall, I loveeee the demo. It has a really strong start with the storytelling but also with how many choices they were to derail everything lol. I'm wondering if the subtle horror in the demo will continue to build on one another until MC is trapped in that slow realization or if it's just that one moment of violence that snaps the "calm" narrative we have. Looking forward to any updates about Cole and his story! Also love the ice cream attendant's bg art. It's way too cute!!!

From how handsome Cole is to how interesting the story was, I really can't wait to see more of this game! Yandere games usually show strong red flags quite visibly from the start, but besides how insistent and capricious he was, I found myself not really able to catch on any yan shenanigans from Cole, which was very interesting to me.

Him meeting the PC genuinely seemed accidental, he never seemed obsessed, and I couldn't think of any reason for him to know us before we knew him- and given that he's a professional liar actor, I can't wait to know just what, exactly, is going on here. 

Really looking forward to spending time with Guy, too- his goofy earnestness was really charming, and his horror/goth inclinations were simultaneously a cool contrast and rather fitting. (Plus I always fall for guys with that type of aesthetic, so, y'know.) Would love if he became a full love interest in the future, but no matter what, I know we'll be well fed with Cole around.

Oh, this was such a fun demo! I absolutely adored Cole. The combo of 'laid-back cool guy' with 'stubborn as an ox when he sets his mind' is really fun and I'm so excited to see where you'll run with it! I'm also very intrigued by the snippets we've seen of 'That Guy'. I really enjoy your style of writing and I can't wait to see more of work, whether it's on FFFE or IMI. Keep up the great work :)

First Invite Me In and now this?!  Your games are so fun and I am patiently, yet eagerly awaiting more when you're ready^^  The art and writing are so sweet and appealing!  Loved this and love Cole, I suspect him of nothing and fully expect only angelic behavior going forward <3  Thank you for sharing this, hope you are well!

I really loved this demo! Cole was a cutie and I look forward to how the story goes later on!
