Played through as many endings as I could and I really enjoyed this! Loved the grimy setting, urban fantasy world and dark humor.

I liked this game! It was unique and had a different feel to it than other games. I really like the more crude, 'R rated' aesthetic of it. Really interested to see writing like this if you make any future works! It's just a breath of fresh air from the surface level, PG stuff I've played for a decade of playing visual novels.

This was a fun game, I liked the urban fantasy world. I think I managed to get all of the endings. Ilya was probably my favorite love interest. (: And I loved the cats!
