(Copied from my Spooktober Jam review to help this game with Itch.io's algorithm!)
A fun little visual novel! I especially enjoyed the scene featuring the titular Serial Killers Anonymous. It reminded me a lot of Finding Nemo's "Fish are friends, not food" scene with the sharks - so I had a smile on my face the entire time.
My favorite ending was the second, by the way. What can I say - I love tragedy...
Finding Nemo is a top-tier movie so it's very sweet to hear that our VN reminded you of it! Thank you so much for checking out our project and for taking the time to comment!
Great game! The entire playthrough was so much fun, especially working out what actions should be taken to achieve the different endings. At one point, I was definitely attempting to become a serial killer to impress Julia.
So much fun--this game really captures the feeling of watching a campy slasher flick with good friends and some popcorn! Mikee is a delightful and charming protagonist, Pancho immediately feels like a true-blue friend, Julia is alluring and unknowable, and the entire premise is so exceptionally well-balanced between suspense and entertainment. I really admire the crisp pacing of the story, and I found all three endings immensely satisfying in their own respective ways (I mean, I did see the first one coming when I decided to be uncooperative, haha). The UI is stylish and still clear and easy to navigate, and I adored the background art, which has texture that gives an attractive depth to the stark shapes and neon highlights. Overall, I found it far, far more fun than a life-or-death situation should reasonably be--excellent work!
This was so fun! I really liked everything, the writting was so vivid and the characters quite colourfull. Mikee and Pancho, how can you not love them from minute 1? And everyone's designs, so good and funny!
As for the plot, hadn't been for the title? I would have never expected that, but still, all with medieval helmets? Nice touch. Also the music really went side by side with everything happening!
As for the questions...
1. Mikee probably, he was deadly brave just as Julia said, despite him not believing it
2. 3, clearly and definetely. Didn't got 2, nor do I intend to lol
Thank you very much for leaving detailed feedback! There's a small detail that's only made clear in the path toward the second ending. However, the third ending is perhaps the happiest one so we're glad you enjoyed it!
I adore the logo and the level of detail on the main menu in this, but aside from that, the story is a lot of fun, and Mikee is such an awesome MC :3
So for favourite character, I'd have to pick Mikee :D I've only got 2/3 endings so far, but I love ending 2 especially. As for other thoughts, it's just really funky in general <3
The premise for this game was amazing. I just loved the whole scene when they meet the SKA. There was a nice intense feeling throughout. Very well done.
I really enjoyed this game! But even though I got all the endings (according to the walkthrough) I seem to be missing 2 CG's. is there something i'm missing? Also my fav character is Julia :D
You're not missing anything! The team originally had two more CGs listed but decided to cut them based on time constraints. I chose to leave the two locked slots there in case we decided to update the game later on. Congrats on fully completing the game! 👏
Wow! The execution (npi) of the concept is very effective. Creepy, surreal, and like watching an accident in slow motion - you're helpless to stop it, and you just know it's not going anywhere good. The suspense was intense.
I felt genuinely sorry for the MC. Poor Mikee. Mikee is definitely be my favorite character, both design and demeanor and I would really like to drop them into a kinder setting and story. Dream Come True is my favorite ending, and it's genuinely gut wrenching.
The backgrounds and art are stunning. I love the color scheme and expressions! The menu art is *amazing*, esp. the selection buttons.
My favorite character was defnitely Julia. I've got a thing for characters with a few screws loose, after all. Ending 2 was my favorite, although I wish there was a certain variation haha.
This was grimmer than I thought it would be, and I feel like the term 'love interest' should be used very, very loosely in this case haha ;;
It was an interesting story though! I had fun figuring out all of the endings, and it was nice that it didn't take itself too seriously. Also, Mikee is very cute! They're my favourite for sure! \o/

Thank you! Out of curiosity, can we ask what variation you wanted?
One where we side with her :)
Yes, I can see why that ending might be appealing. :)
