YOUâRE SO SWEET??? đđđ Seriously, thank you so much for downloading my game and leaving a comment! I really appreciate that! đ„ș
i tried this out as fast as i could once I noticed there was another new one of your games! and needless to say, you aced this one too! Even short, it still gave me the kind of fitting unease and horror realization of the true and second end, what with the changing title screens, instilling creeps (it didn't help that i played this basically by myself in dark...) the morse code was a little thing fun to decode too, and huanlan got my interest real quick (he reminded me of certain someone with his eyes-covered bangs <3) with other chatacters got my curiousity piqued indeed... It was certainly interesting to get to know your new characters, and their designs were cool! I would love to play some more another addition to this one (does this have a potential of a series, I wonder?) And maybe this is just a thought, but I think you should put the specific warning of eyes thingy horror element (idk how to exactly define it) because it does disturb me a bit with their many amounts and everything (lol imagine my surprise when first encountering the title and save screen).
Putting the main points aside, I do learn some.. I guess words, though I'm still not really sure, like the word necrosis/necrose (I think in this game it refers to like demonic entities?) Your inspiration for the title name (I searched for the word metem but got metempsychosis instead so) and some characters' names.. I would appreciate some enlightenment on them.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MANEDZA! I canât even begin to explain my giddiness omg, the fact that youâre so willing to play my games, no matter how short, is so humbling, seriously đ„ș ALSO, SUPER HAPPY THE GAME WAS A LIL SPOOKY ^^ Huanlan is a cute little rat, right?? When I was planning a cameo for one of my friendâs OCâs, I chose him, since heâs connected with the same universe we made owo (Iâll let her know you like him!) And I was actually mentioning that to my friends, too, on whether or not I should continue đ€ Iâm still thinking about it! But youâre right, oops- I shouldâve added a warning for the eyes and stuff, but I didnât wanna label it as trypophobia? Iâll look more into what term I should use for it!
Actually, some of these words are made up by me! A Necrocite, for example, is just a play on ânecroâ (meaning death). âNecrosisâ is a medical term, which refers to the death of cells or tissues. Youâre also spot on with the title! The main word is âMetempsychosisâ, which is the belief that after death, youâll reincarnate as the same species in a different body (the rest being self-explanatory).
Ah, the names! Letâs start with our MC, Lailael. Her name is meant to sound angelic, in a way, since it ends with -el. âLalaâ was supposed to imitate singing. As for Theou, I just thought it sounded like a holy name for an older man đ Whew, okay, Xiaânefasus- he actually got the âXiaâ part from the woman that took care of him, since when he was still small and couldnât speak, he could only make noises like âshaâ. The ânefasusâ part was later added by him, which is a play on a Latin word, meaning âwrongfulâ or âsinfulâ
Well, it can't be helped that your works are great in narrative, inspiring and/or rich meaningful! Keep it up! Trypophobia I searched, does include discomfort for disturbing imagery of eyes, and there's also related phobia like ommetaphobia, which is the fear of eyes. Though of course, can't be too sure of them myself to use which warning. The make-up names are kinda punny creative though! Lailael and theou fit the religious theme too, but the Xia part? That's actually.. cute? *Sigh* he does a good job on his role in stirring me some mixed feelings for him. Oh what about the twins and his apostle? (I think Nazriel..? Excuse my goldfish memory), are those also referencing oc's of your friends, then?
I decided to settle on Ommetaphobia, since the phobia covered âmultiple eyesâ, so thank you for letting me know to tag that warning, Manedza! đ Iâm glad you like the names, though! Oooh, yeah, I didnât give the names of the twins, but the brother (he belongs to my OC), is named Cyrus! Iâd have to ask her the meaning of his name. The sister, whoâs my OC, is named Cyna. Sheâs a water/storm goddess, so I wanted her name to sound similar to her brotherâs, but also like âseaâ.
Also, close! Itâs Kazriel owo I chose âKazâ because Iâve seen so many demonic characters with similar names, and I wanted it to conflict with the â-elâ in his name, which is also supposed to be angelic! Heâs a very⊠Interesting man đ
