Short and sweet game, loved playing through this one, at first I thought we were some sort of alternate personality or voice in the head thing but uhhh, that probably would have been better than what we probably are huh.
I was scared to be friends with her after reading the comments... was indeed creepy, nice work!
This made me genuinely uncomfortable to play which makes it 10/10 -fantastic art, music and writing!! You did an amazing job!
You've scarred me for life and I'm so gratefull 💜👗 That was awesome
what a fascinating take on the genre! the art style with the limited colors was very unique and really elevated the game. i admittedly had to look in the comments to figure out the entirety of the story, but i think you did a good job giving us all the clues in the gameplay itself, i'm just not very good at piecing them together, haha. very very cool!
this is amazing!! my jaw kinda dropped when the tonal shift hit haha.
I played this on my channel. I liked the aesthetic of this game very retro. And dressing her up was pretty cool even tho the story itself is very sad. Still had a good time playing tho.
this is so neat! adorable & well thought-out, i love it <3 <3
manlybadasshero referance???? i see you
I LOVE Manly!! All of my games have some sort of reference to him :3
omg ily for that!!
i loved playing this!! but i feel so bad for sera :(
Spoilers!!!
Essentially yes! If you read through the diary entries and Sera’s dialogue, it paints an unfortunate picture :(
Thanks for playing Woofie! ^^
OH MY GOSH I AM SO SORRY I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN IT
It’s all good, buddy! ^^ The spoiler tag really coming in clutch ahaha! Thanks for giving my game a look Woofie! (´｡• ◡ •｡`) ♡
Fun girlie take on psychological horror from a unique but all too real and scary type of horror. Scary in the real kind of way, but your music and vibes were awesome for this game, paired with peak fashion! The art was super cute and fun.
I played your game (and a couple others) in my video below. You can also vote for your game on my youtube channels community page where we are doing a contest for best indie horror game of january. I'll be 3D printing a scene or monster from the game that wins, and gifting it to the game dev. Though your game is 2D, I can come up with a clever print for your game if it wins, I know it!
Yoo Zagonite! ⸜(ˊᗜˋ)⸝
Thanks for letting me know bout your video! I’ll definitely give it a watch later!!! Excited to hear your commentary on it and very intrigued about your contest, sounds pretty sick! :D
omg i forgot to link the video that was goofy of me- i added it now. Thanks for making this cool game!!
Hatsvin,
would it be ok with you if I continue to use the song from your game for my outro to the remainder of this months indie horror series? I really enjoyed it, but please feel no obligation or pressure to say yes- its your music and I respect that.
Hey Zagonite,
The music I used is actually open source original music submitted by the GB studio community! So it’s available to everyone!
Here’s the track: https://github.com/DeerTears/GB-Studio-Community-Assets/blob/master/Music/Action/Sugar%20Craze.mod
Officially, it’s stated that no attribution is required but the creator of the track Sugar Craze is krümel so if you’d like to give credits, feel free to add them as the composer!
Wishing you all the best for the rest of your game series! :D You’re killing it.

THIS WAS SO COOOOOOOL I LOVED IT !!!!! um i am a little slow though um i know the player's character is an actual person who like, exists, but ........ who is he !!!! the freak!!!!
Hi Hi Farlin~ ^^
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the game!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ To answer your question wellll…
Spoilers!!!
You’re playing from the perspective of a pedophile the whole time!
It’s essentially a deconstruction of the whole dress-up game genre, by questioning why exactly is the player in a young girl’s room, dressing her up in suspiciously scandalous clothes.
The whole plot came to be when I was trying to explore the horrors of girlhood and honestly, a lot of the common themes are unfortunately: sexual assault, bullying, feminine rage etc. So, I wanted to use this medium as an excuse to add that horror edge while being grounded in reality!
The man in closet/window is essentially a metaphor for YOU creeping into her life when Sera’s at her most vulnerable and isolating her from her friends!
But of course, that is just one interpretation. I am a big fan of speculation and tbh, everyone has differing ideas of who the man is, from a hallucination to a physical manifestation of anxiety etc etc.
I support all theories and therefore, there is no specific canon idea! Hope that helps!
THIS GAME IS SO COOL AND I GOT TO PLAY IT THE LAST DAY ITS OUT?!
I like how it goes in to the idea of school and others opinions changing the opinion you have on yourself. Then when your at your worse you push away the people that care about you and at your best you realize how much they care and love you, and at the close the cycle repeats itself Serafina going back to friends and people who don't care about her. BRAVOO!
Hey Runa~~ ヾ( ´・ω・｀)
Thanks for playing my game! ^^ You got it! One of the themes in the game is social isolation in high school!
There’s actually an underlying plot about who the player is in Sera’s life. Although I’ll leave that interpretation up to you :3
Love the game; the clothes are so cute! I feel so bad for her. </3
Hiya Plant~~ ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
Thanks for playing my game! Fun fact: I’ve been drawing all the pixel art with my mouse since I was too lazy to take out my drawing tablet, so I’m glad you liked the clothing!
Much love ♡
