Hunger "it never ends" honestly such a great game. This was my first fan YN game and its blew me away from the Suttle horror to the amazing soundtrack. I gotta say 10/10 

Hi, I cannot get this to work for Mac. After extracting the sip file, I'm left with an application file which is incompatible with Mac. Anyone know how to fix this?

Really good job on this! The art is delightfully creepy and I really love the soundtrack!

A question I have, while I was looking through the image files of the game, I noticed that there was art for an unused "Decapitation" effect, including sprites and portrait artwork. What were the plans for this effect, was it just cosmetic or was it planned to have something related to it?

this games art is sooooo fucking good

Hey uh, is there any way we can download OST of the game? I don't mind paying as long as it is in a good format, so if there's a way please let me know.

PD: you did a really amazing work with this game I loved it from first to last

I recorded the soundtrack and uploaded it to YouTube

One of the best yume nikki fangames, and just generally one of the best rpgmaker horror games, ive ever played. The art is beautifully done, particularly the gore, and the story is so eerie and yet so fascinating!! I'm obsessed with Ume as a character, I love the mystique surrounding her and she has such a terrifying yet alluring presence. I also adore the nightmarish atmosphere, and the japanese inspirations in the enviromental design are gorgeous and create such a distinctive and cohesive setting. I also enjoyed the devs other games, such as Lily's Well and Cold Read, and I can't wait to see their future projects!

I really like this game, I played it about a year ago and I still think about it. I've played your other games on steam and hope this one comes there too so I can get my friends to try it out

Greetings. I already announced it on twitter, but I thought it might come handy here: 

I made an Spanish patch of the game (meaning, you have to download the original game first, then apply it(

It was a very enjoyable experience, thank you for making it.

This was so well. The visuals, the music, and the horror aspect is unsettling. It was fun trying to piece a story together. Great game! 

When I first entered Club Cherri, I heard the music which was kinda hard to hear and had sounds of chainsaws and cars mixed in. But when I started a new save file, the music changed to a much clearer version with new instruments and no chainsaws or cars.

Is this intentional?

This game is pretty great it took me a hot minute to figure out what was going on, but once you start rolling it's pretty rewarding figuring out everything. I definitely cheesed a good bit of it with the wiki, but it was still great to see the story play out.

Thank you so much! So that is a bug you found that will definitely be getting fixed soon.

This game is great! I've definitely still got a lot to explore but I'm enjoying wandering around as a spooky blindfolded bride. Also, your music choices were excellent!

How do I get the two new effects?


Also, what do the mermaids in the effect room say? I don't understand Japanese.

Very interesting game and a great atmosphere! I had played this for a while and walked around and found a mask effect, as I got to the mermaid by the water I didn't know what I was supposed to do so I tried pressing a few different things and ended up with an error. I had to restart the whole game again and I tried finding the error.

In the menu if you press on options and then "X" you will get an unknown error. I don't know if you're aware of this so I thought I'd tell you about it :)

edit: I played the game on a Mac

Other than that I really enjoyed the eerie feeling to the game and the art style was very fitting.

I don't know if you've heard of Game Development World Championship before (gdwc2019) but it's a competition for indie game developers where they can submit their games and it's free! It's great if you want some more visibility for the game and it only takes a couple of minutes to join :)

Thanks for the feedback! I was unable to replicate your error, but I'll try it out again when I have access to a mac. 

I'm glad you enjoyed the demo so far and I'll be sure to check out the competition. :)

That's great! :)

Seems beautiful.

Thank you! :D

However, I have trouble downloading it. It'd be nice to actually enjoy it.

Oh! Can you please let me know what went wrong so I can fix it?

"Failed - Network Error". The fault is probably in my computer, but you should check it.

Solved it by using Firefox.

Okie dokie! :)
