Will there be an android version
PLEASE I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CHAPTER 2 PLEASE GIVE ME CH.2.
YOU DESERVE A CHAPTER 2 IT'S TRUE, IF WE POST ANY PROGRESS STUFF YOU'LL FIND IT ON OUR SOCIALS! T
Attracted by the handsome/cute（10 of 10） two main characters, then I found that the art was also great, and “skills” were also cool, making me curious about what abilities do Elio have.
In the secret room, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, even a bit scary. But I believe Elio can overcome the control
Looking forward to Chapter 2!

Wow, what a game! Seriously, the setting is unique and interesting, the art is absurdly cute and the soundtrack slaps - what's not to love? I'm so glad I found this vn; I'm definitely looking forward to chapter 2

Lovely Steampunk art and a fun game! The ending really had me shook lol I’m looking forward to the next chapter :3

Steampunk furry detective story. The greatest four word sentence ever written.
factssss!! what more could you want <3 T
Absolutely loving this so far! Completely hooked and want to see what's going on and where to next. Esme's snark is a treat, and I admit to having a crush on Elio. He's adorably enthusiastic.
Also I have a soft spot for steampunk but that's only partially relevant. Maybe. I can't wait for Chapter 2!
the big man himself has many fans, you'll truly have to fight off a hoard of folks (including Esme) to get to Elio hahaha
thanks so much for being such a fan of our game! <3 T
I really enjoy this game! The arts are wonderful, world building is interesting, very funny character interactions (Esme is so cynical I love him so much adsfsdf) great taste in music too!!! I love all the whimsical atmosphere you put here, and I chuckled at some meme sfx xD it's hilarious.
Great work!!! I'm looking forward to up coming chapters!!
ahh a fellow lover of meme sfx, we welcome you to our lil corner of the internet
