Spoilers below, random thoughts I have while playing:

turned from sad story to lmao wtf is going on right after sarah went to make dinner

also sarah seems like mountain fox

this shit's hilarious.

CJ's a dumbass lol

shit, the opposite of information really is misinformation, damn could've just waited, like, ten seconds for CJ to get there!

Ah, it's a whole pile of crap that I see but they don't. Really there's nothing much to fight about. No big issue, nothing. Though maybe I'm just weird.

Ah, yeah, see?

I'd be satisfied if the game just ended right after talking to Vic.

How does this get to the end dream I have no clue,

... I dunno.

lucky strike!

I thought the cotton only affected wands? 

If it's not specific to wands, then try just putting the cotton on a square next to the mana.

My hoarding habits... aarwgjarjgioafr

Everything is useful, I want it all, but I can't!!!! ajfafalkeflr

*I love the game, it makes me hurt inside

also regen wand plus frog totem is overpowered

also i don't know if luck is still increasing but I have 5 lucky rings..

I died... I need cleansing... something.. agaogaogafgj;a

this game is so good.

so... I hope the save function works because this takes hours to play.

Tilted Sword is the strongest weapon imo, since bosses seem to follow a pattern of getting more hp and summoning minions so far, allowing it to stack up damage until the boss can be killed in one turn. 

Save function doesn't work for web game...

You mean this backpack hero? 

https://thejaspel.itch.io/backpack-hero

They seem different enough to me, even with the same main fighting idea. 

Edit: I played backpack hero for hours, it's so fun. Roguelike turn-based dungeon crawling. Not  auto PvP.

Turn on audio and listen for heartbeats. The intensity of the heartbeats tell how near the monster is to finding Lacie. The heartbeats slowly calm down and go away when hiding in a bush, so wait a while in each bush. For dead ends, just return to the last bush, then go another route. 

Also, there is always* another way. 

*Not really true but sort of true. The devs can't literally make infinite routes. 

Ya gotta point them in the direction where there ought to be a path. 

For the "secret" signs, just point them so that their directions intersect; they point at the same point.

spoil, go play and get the true ending. and the true ending of Project Kat.

First of all, there's no way Lacie is done with the rituals, because she still has the curse, Sai is still in the underworld, and Miss Knives called her "Lilith". 

Next, Sai is still in the underworld. Why?? Does Sai just live in the underworld? Wandering everywhere in there to rid himself of his boredom? Or is he a demon? Maybe not a demon... Or not all demons are strong. 

Shadow Kat is adorable, I wonder if that guy after credits is her family. Her dad? But also, I wonder if she can make those potions, if she used a healing potion on the injured rabbit, and who even shops there. I would suggest that the man is Red, but he's got a noticeable lack of the color red, and doesn't seem to match the descriptions The Prisoner gives. Not wanting to give out store products for free isn't out of the ordinary. 

Rune, however, is indeed quite red-colored. He goes to Red's house without activating the spike traps, and "Walks" to the Facility, secret passage, much? but still, he knows Red's name, and doesn't remember his own past name, so either he's got multiple personalities, is just lying, or isn't Red. I dunno... Rune probably isn't Red. 

Glen is some big-shot powerful demon, Lilith is possessing Lacie or something for whatever reason... I have a theory that Lacie was cursed by Lilith to become Lilith or become more and more like Lilith, or to gain something other of Lilith... For example the inexplicable escape out of Miss Knives' cage is probably Lilith's magic.  Wendy is Aoi's boss, who seems to be decently powerful, below Glen, and above the average demon, like Alba. Wendy reminds me of "Wendigo". 

The Fairy Rings... Maybe destroying all the rings would disrupt it and cause a huge outburst, or they would open new rings in other places to replace the destroyed rings, so it's better to simply shrink the rings and cull the unnecessary ones,  and then warn about it in places with fairy rings which will remain in their place, or maybe the fairies have some beneficial use...

The facility that Lacie went to seemed to be an abandoned one, then is the one she gets sent to if she stays on the bus a more recently built one, one back in time, or just one that kept it's operations? 

I love how I could use the brainless strategy of taking a bucket and carrying all the water away into the sink... And it actually works! Forbidden artifact..

Miss Knives doesn't seem like she's in any state to defend herself... The one with the demonic rabbit plushie said they left after killing a bunch of normal primal demons... I imagined they would go retrieve the interesting test subjects. The Spider... I don't know how they even fit inside their cell, but ok, whatever, they're fine. Potential: High. hm. Are the test subjects fed souls to make them more powerful? Miss Knives' power seems very powerful and versatile, if only someone could heal her mind, her illusionary domain may be much more stable. Rather than illusion, reality warping may be more apt...

Lacie and Hiro should be safe at home... Right? Does the exit garden just put someone back into the place they started the ritual? Like, for Lacie, say outside her front door, since that's where she painted the red symbol, and Kat back in the middle classroom?

Chapter 2 follows Sai as he leaves Lacie's exit garden for whatever reason... 

Interpretation: "Bruh, it's a horror game, that's the whole point."

Could you specify what didn't work? 

But Rune said possession was an outdated concept or something like that... Though Rune is always leaving out important details or telling half-truths.

If you are on mac, then go to finder, then use the toolbar at top of screen, click on "Go", then click "Go to folder", then put in "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/", with your username in place of "username". 

then find paper lily folder, and inside is a save folder.

For windows and others, not sure, but should be similar. 

Yeah, the motion sensor's useful, good for daily, normal use, but not very helpful when defending against outside threats. 

The monster was scary without using a jumpscare, which was nice. 

I noticed that reinforcements are based on the largest number of connected spaces of the team.

I surrounded each team to one space. Green and Brown could break one space if they worked together, but brown never attacks that space in-between them. 

This is my guide to my favorite ending.

That's the true ending, I recommend talking to the girls more, poking around with the radio in the top left corner of the occult club, retrieving the book without reading it, and returning the theater club room key, and then sitting down at the table. then continue the ritual, cutting hair, drawing chalk lines, but NOT putting down the candles. Don't do anything at all with the candles. Don't touch them. Then explore, I'm sure there's something useful in all those desks...

This is my favorite ending. The only way to mess it up is putting down the candles, and it's truly switched to one of if not my least favorite endings if the candles are lit after going on this path. It'll be relatively quick, in any case. 

Don't read if you haven't played the game. Go play it till you get at least the true ending or a handful (more than 2) of dead ends. 

Original:

Ugh... damned disembodied voice.

All I got to do now is figure out now is how to get the other girls to help break into the weird room. I don't think I have much else to do in the ritual unless carrying all three runes changes something. 

Ending Statement:

Yeah, no, I'm not going through all that again just to see if the magic man eating demon will say anything about my having three runes or being slightly interesting from the dream... nor am I going to complete the ritual that clearly works and clearly states to only have one person present... with Saki, Juli, and Kaya. Curiosity killed the cat, Morbid Curiosity would kill more than just the cat. 

The best ending is probably the girl's night out. This isn't paper lily, there is a clear "host", and this "host" is clearly in complete control and only has two goals: To have fun, and to eat. Which, ah, leaves me to wonder just why that ritual exists. It's near certain death, (with the only exception being if some other being as powerful or more powerful than the host decides to save Kat for some reason, or the monster miraculously changes their mind and lets Kat go.) and barely has any benefit. 

The intergalactic government in this game is so overbearing, if a planet isn't following their laws, then basically everyone on that planet can be arrested and imprisoned forever.

Pretty crazy, no wonder there's a huge opposition group. 

Since the save file is in plain text, you can save a file to your computer and edit the money value, anything at and above 1 billion just results in $0, though. 

shoot middle, far right, right, then far left and left together.

Oh, come to think of it, I didn't get her name. 

So, hm, Dad was cray-cray and and broke the fourth wall, then broke the fourth wall for his daughter by doing some crappy shit and now... This happened? That's my guess.

Just go at a pace you can keep up with, and remember why you want to do what you do, to make what you make. It doesn't need to be a logical reason or anything, maybe for fun, maybe it just feels right. Whatever you have with yourself will keep you going when you don't have motivation from anyone else. 

Oh, and read other people's similar stuff for inspiration. 

Ganbatte!  ;D

I have some bland advice/thoughts.

First thing right off the bat is proofreading and editing, there are quite a few mistakes. If the intended mood is dark and serious, then I believe clean text will help in accomplishing that. The other thing I thought of with the text would be messing around with the font, see if anything else looks cooler, fitting in with the theme a bit more.

Other than that, try differentiating the character's ways of speaking a tad more, according to their character. A couple short examples: "You're, You are, Yer'," and "Gunna, Gonna, Going to,". With those, Yer' and Gunna are sort of crude, You're and Gonna are sort of casual, and You are and Going to are a bit less casual. Again, general, boring, not exactly profound or even correct all the time, but point is, it changes the vibes of a character. Who are they? How do they talk? 

Then again, I don't have much to go off of here, with... hm, 4 characters? A couple pages of text? And it's not as if it's atrocious and I can't tell who's who. It's just that the decently important researcher and the random wolf bro sounded quite similar, at least in my memory.

Also the file name is "TheRose", I thought it would've been named "Chroma Haven", but eh.

Anyways, have fun with the project! I dunno what those supplies are, but hope they arrive soon!

(^w^)

Ok so I finished 99.77% according to the game, and there's either weird entities or every character has mental disorders, or both.

This isn't scary enough to make me want to close the game, nor enough to make me really worried or jump, at least so far through 3/6 endings, but through it all I am wondering what the hell is happening, who the hell everyone is, and silently sitting and clicking in disgust and horror, cringing, but not enough to leave. 

I want it to end, but I want the endings.

"We're going to try this again, and we're going to get it right this time. And there really is nothing to worry about. We've little to lose, and all to gain. After all, the most it could cost you is your life.

And you got that for free."

o ok then

Very cool. 

Wall jumping from side to side is really fun, I remember that hidden "women's perfume" item, it was a treat to get. 

ty

The wat? The huh? The ok i guess.

So much noble politics, so many social maneuvers... A system built for an extremely steep hierarchy.. It really is like the kinetic VN style, presenting as little choice as possible: Play, or Leave. Click On, or Off.

I'm on MacOS, and I simply couldn't move the puzzle pieces. Clicking on a piece and dragging doesn't move it. All other buttons work.

Quite the career.

agreed

yay!

I just combed through 2000 games on itch.io tagged for macos, free, and erotic. For no particular reason, I ended up with this page as the last one. 

That's cool, I guess? Maybe? Why did I do this-

yeah the starter crop is enough to easily get a score within the hundred thousands.

something about hands, idk bro

download button leads to a google drive popup which normal accounts have no access to

I broke the web game by walking through the wall going out of bounds, idk why no collisions

I wanna pat mayu's head in the laundry scene..

I got all bars maxed but I couldn't get that kiss scene again where mc flinches away 

(edit: maybe I was just unlucky? Idk how the game decides which scene to make appear when clicking "chat" though.)

aaaaaaaaaaa ok bye for now~

very cute :3
