melt

I'm honestly shocked to see frost hollows mentioned. That alongside details like the gelding? It's refreshing to see writing that suits the world, not catering to the reader. Also, the writing was amazing in general but I figured you already have been told that plenty lol.

wow this was great! i loved the ending, with all of the character development

peak

Not going to lie, got into this for the horny, but the mood is impeccable. Drew me in right away. Love the writing and illustration

THIS GAME MAKES ME SICK AND YOU CAN TELL A SERIAL KILLER WROTE THIS

THIS GAME PISED ME OFF, THE FEMALE KNIGHT IS A PIECE OF CRAP WHO MURDERS PEOPLE AND USES "I WAS JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS" AS AN EXCUSE, YET SHE'S CONTANTLY CALLING THE DEMON EVIL.......IN REAL LIFE, MOST HUMANS ARE NO BETTER THAN THE DEMONS THEY KEEP TELLING US ARE BAD

I haven't touched a visual novel in quite a long time, and I am so lucky to find such a diamond in the rough. The characters and the story were so well written, and I feel that the way you explored each little detail and its nuances is so captivating to me! I genuinely could never get enough of both the textual and visual art that was put into this game... UGH I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! I hope this world you've created garners more well-deserved attention.

I'll be eagerly looking forward to any of your future works, if you choose to do so! LOVE IT OK BYE--- =w=

Genuinely the best visual novel I've read in a very long time. Beautiful writing, beautiful art, a concise story that's wonderfully explored with two phenomenal characters to explore it through. So many times throughout this game I tabbed out just so I could sit with it for a while- I felt like the knight myself, constantly stopping and thinking and getting into my own head about what this or that meant, or how the world could possibly exist the way it does. 

I expect I'll be reading it again, even : ) So so wonderfully done, and thank you so much for making it

making me want to come back for more... wonderful story and presentation, as well as music choice. really ties everything in a nice little bow. thanks for making this <3 <3

OOhhh! OHHHH! Okay... Okay. I enjoyed that a lot. I didn't even take a break to save the game because I was so intent in reading the next line! Was there even a save option? I didn't even checked! I just clicked and clicked!

The surprise representation made me smile so much! I really liked these two and enjoyed the journey from the beginning until the end. The toxicity--the anger, the moments of comforting silence--and many amusing misunderstandings!

However, that Epilogue makes one think and think hard but in the end, their story was wonderful! This was so nice! I really loved the writing and the art. Not to mention, the music was on point!

P.S Can I use our some of the sprites/CG as PF? I'll happily credit of course! I just love the expressions they make! And that one scene, goodness I don't blame you, Marimaite! ♥

This was really wonderful and... actually very sweet! I started off disliking Marimaite, but seeing the way her feelings towards Sitri changed through the story, I grew to like her more and more... there's this great atmosphere of dread throughout, and the way the tension between Marimaite and Sitri resolves by the end really surprised me in a good way...

Also just, Sitri is amazing and how could you NOT fall in love with her <3

Wonderful story, Wonderful character design, Wonderful world building. I genuinely can't rave enough about how well put together and beautiful this story was. Good work to everyone who worked on it and thank you for such a delightful read <3!

(P.S. May I be allowed to use one of the sprites as a pfp? Completely okay if not!)

Where do I even begin?  I adored absolutely everything about this VN from start to finish!  The art for both the backgrounds and the main girls alike was all so stylish and expressive—and speaking of expressive, I loooooved how many different expressions there were for Marimaite (I keep wanting to write her name as "Marmite") and Sitri's portraits, and how evocative they were, heheheh~

And the writing!  The way these girls went from being at each other's throats (hateful & slightly sexual) to being at each other's throats (all sexual) was marvelous to see~  What's more, both girls have vivid, distinct personalities, and the larger setting is fleshed out just enough without bogging down the flow of the narrative, which I find very impressive~

I could absolutely go on raving about this VN—the music; the visual presentation; the little ghostings of fog from the girls' mouths during the snowy scenes—but I believe I've made my point, heheheheh.  Fantastic work across the board~!

P.S.: God help me, I'm so fucking weak for Sitri...

wonderful atmosphere and beautiful conflict. i really adored the music and art and just how the two got all tangled up together

Really great art and character relationships. The atmosphere is absolutely fantastic!

absolutely incredible thank you making this. i fuck w this So Hard i am sick in the head and i WILL be thinking about it for a while to come. was captivated the entire time. love these characters, love the art. it's Peak

This was soooooo cute—I really liked the gestural style of the backgrounds and Marimaite and Sitri’s facial expressions are just really cute and full of character. The UI is really simple but I liked the flourishes of the little flame graphic as the next-page icon, and the fact that the only thing not in black-and-white is demons with their signature colors. It’s very evocative of demons being out of joint with the world and kind of uncanny. Also, incredible music choices.

Also Marimaite and Sitri’s dynamic is just really charming to me. My #1 favorite is when fictional women are mean to each other and this was really peak as they do the will-they-or-won’t-they (kill each other) dance. Great work!

I was so utterly enthralled reading this, from the beginning was drawn right into Marimaites head, captivated with every emotion she felt, the dynamic between her and the demon was so interesting to watch unfold and I loved the exploration of how demons work, and think in this world, wanting to learn so much more about this world just from the glimpse shown. 

The artstyle was perfect for the atmosphere of the writing so well, and the sprites brought to life the colourful dialogue, with a really fitting ost and ui.

I feel like this game and especially it's ending will be stuck in my brain for a while.

Really enjoyed this VN, some nights I yearn for a particular atmosphere in toxic yuri, and Melt hit the mark perfectly... Can see myself revisiting this work over and over lol

A wonderful duet of art and writing so perfectly in harmony with one another to create something suffocating beyond words. Every sprite a masterpiece, every word deliberate, every scene thrilling;  among some of the great short visual novels there is to experience.

To not repeat the perfectly descriptive words of mindmaster's review, I'll gloss over the radiant quality of the work. Instead I found very interesting the take on the human-demon dualism and how it seemed to stray somewhat from genre conventions, giving it a fresh feeling on top of the brilliant execution.

There is nothing to critique, it is practically a perfect work. I look forward to future projects from the both of you, especially if they are collaborations such as this one.

a cortex shattering experience from start to end

Like a pinhole camera, through so little an entire world squeezes through and floods me with rich emotions. I love the dynamic between the main character and the love interest, the social and cultural boundaries that exist to divide them, and therefore proof of their pull together as the story progresses

Every paragraph feels like it's brimming with extra meaning, and pregnant with quadruplets. My imagination is continually pulled into the subtext, the negative space your words outline pulling me beyond the kayfabe event horizon.

If the words are that powerful alone, my remaining senses were unprepared. The art, UI, sound design, all like a vietnamese sandwich, expotentially greater than its parts.

I admire the work, and would be looking forwards to what you have next to share

I couldn't help myself and read the entirety of Melt in one sitting. 

I enjoyed it a great deal and the tension felt just right throughout the novel. The music and sfx that accompanied the reading never felt distracting or annoying, but enhanced the reading experience altogether. Considering the game was made in such a short time, it's honestly stellar. If you have the mind to expand upon it, including an intro to set the stakes of the binding pact could be really impactful for us readers, I imagine! 

If there is one detail I must scrutinize, it is the fact that we did not get a scene involving tail-pulling, which must be noted as a most delightful trope of the genre. Else, I am tremendously satisfied with the product. :)

very emotionally charged vn
the gradual progression as the mc tackles her emotions till the final climax of it is very yummy
really enjoyed the dichotomy between the two characters sprites as well, both were very fun to look at!
also the ending had me breathless...

Cute cute cute! 

The art is super cute, the story is super compelling and well paced, the characters are very appealing, and the soundtrack is eerily fitting~ Aces all around!
