Got him to let me live (temporarily) on my first playthrough XD! Then immediately got the eternal love ending lol (Suprised there were two ways to get it but I definitely like the more roundabout way to build up the bond more before the ending <3). Lovely choice of VA and character design. Gave me some food for thought regarding my relationships and dreams :>
Nice
trouble getting it to run in browser unfortunately, it keeps and shows the coding or something similar :/ don't know what to do about it. Might try again later
Seems it would be a great game, but the music is way too loud, and Death is too low, can't hear Death speaking over the music.
You do know that there's a volume bar in the menu, don't you?
clearly, I did not. When creating a visual novel all voice should be loud and clear and music should be low and calming.
Well, you know it now. To suit your own need by toggling the volume would be preferably quicker than bothering the creator for it.
While changing the volume in the settings does solve the problem on an individual basis, I don't think it's really strange to ask that the standard settings at least allow you to hear Death speaking. It would improve the game ever so slightly. If I had to compare it with anything, it's like a typo: it doesn't ruin a game, but it does make it seem a little less polished.
So sweet but i dont like the music! >:(
You can turn it off in the menu

I think it's wild I got the eternal love ending on my first go around! I am squealing at the fact they blushed. Everything was immaculate and too good!
I answered honestly and they let me live.. uh thank you?
Congratulations darling, you might have some affinity with them. In all honesty though thanks for playing
I want to see more of Mr. Death.
This can't be the end. 🙈
heyy! Yes Mr.Death might appear in our next game within the DUFE universe 👀
Oh, what great news. I will definitely have an eye on it. ^^
Might there be a chance to romance and fall in love with him? Asking for a friend. :D
🤍GREAT LITTLE GAME!🖤
im on pc and i cant play it :(
I got the eternal love end my first try, and I'm sure the other endings are wonderful, but I'm just going to leave it at that because who needs anything else when you have eternal love <3
I like how his right shoulder (our left) is just nonexistent.
Also we have the exact same hair, give or take some length. How dare /pos
death but hes hot
AHHHH IM DYING FOR HIM I WANT HEIMMM
he sounds like twunk astarion (i need him so bad)
The style, concept and voice acting is just so damn good! Love the game btw! <3
Aaaah thank you <3
bro his voice rhgbrhbgj
it wouldn't let me play
oh sorry to hear, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. What device are you on?
This was such a joy to see realized! I love the music, the way Death talks and Death themself—the two additional endings are also lovely, and everything is just so much more better paced than from the draft I read. Great job, Cry! I can't wait to hopefully see more of Death! :D
Aah! Thanks so much Ro! You really helped flesh things out, wouldn’t be as good without you!
Always!! Also, their voice??? I'm screaming??? Especially the first ending's last line—hot dog, I'm sweating and blushing so much. This is so good, you just made this ten times better with the voice. 😭 💗
Its so philosopic. I love it
💙
Hello! This is a wonderful VN and I loved everything about it from the art, music, story and writing. I didn't realize this was for a game jam but that's awesome :) I had so much playing through the different choices and I liked how there were writing and story were philosophical in nature.
Thank you so much!! 💙
Hi! I played the game and got four different endings, so I guess I got them all?
This was a beautiful game, visually and the audio was amazing too! Storywise, it was more a philosophical parenthesis confronting us to the only certitude in life: death! The different reactions to death the protagonist could have, and the different outcomes felt diverse and quite exhaustive! So, the entry feels very complete, despite it being an O2A2 one (and I mean, that's the genius of this jam: telling stories in such a few words!!). Congrats on the entry!
Yeah there's 4 endings! Thank you so much for playing and being so thorough!
