Warning! This game contains mentions of heavy topics, such as death, physical torture, suicide and depression.Please stop playing immediately if they bother you and remember that your mental health is much more important than a game.
You are playing the role of Sasha, a human girl who woke up in Purgatory after her Death. Neither Hell nor Heaven, she must go through the process of finding herself a place to live.
This game was made for the menhera vn jam and mostly just for fun and to finally get into game making.
All art and music was made by me. (poorly if I might add, it's the first time I composed any beats :3)

I really like the character designs! Very cute yet creepy. I did encounter a few bugs though, if you don't mind me bringing attention to it.
The first one is a file path error for the CG in the Medusa ending.
I managed to figure out that it was typo in the image statement for "medusa_end" where it was missing the ".png" file extension.
Another one is a similar typo with the "black" scenes.
It seems to be repeated in a few scene statements.
Also, the music volume seems to be very quiet by default (I don't know if it's just me).
The preferences menu is hidden by default though, so I couldn't adjust it without going into the game files.
Not sure if you'll continue to update the game, but I hope this helps!
This was such a delight. It made me very nostalgic as it reminded me of a lot of media I consumed in the early 2010s. The art is very wonderful- even this page is fantastic. Can't wait to see what you make next
This was a very cute and somber experience, a lot of people have already mentioned it but the art and the expressions especially are very charming, and the designs for all of the overlords work well for them, I think. I ended up going with FIlia, and part of me was waiting for the other shoe to drop, lol.
I had a fun time playing this!! Only thing is that the CG for the medusa ending didn't work for me, it said it couldn't find the image. Maybe it's a bug.
I can't get over how cute all of the art in this VN is! The character designs are simply delightful; I'm especially fond of Fillia and Doll, but all of them are outstanding, really, heheheh~
I also very much appreciate the somber, mysterious atmosphere; I'm hoping we'll get to see more of it in your future work, and perhaps learn a little more about Sasha and the various dynamics of the afterlife in which she's found herself as well~
Then of course there was Roach. Roach is such a creeper... I love her.
I love the characters a lot, and the music is actually nice~
The story is also quite interesting~
I love how at first we're put in a seemingly worrying situation only to turns out that everyone is just super chill lmao
Now diving into some parts I think a little bit weird, like Medusa questions feels soooo out of place compared to the other three especially the latter two.
And there's also seems to be missing image error, but that's a minor issue~
Other than that, a very cool simple vn!
Hi, can you set up the correct platforms for each build so Itch Io automatic installation can detect them? Thanks!
Hey, just so you know; I had some issue with the PC files. The game would not open until I copy pasted in the renpy folder from a different renpy game. Game now seems to be working fine
Thank you for telling me! Must be a bug, I'll try to fix it!
I love the art so much. Omg, the character designs are so adorable! You should be super proud. I hope you're happy, healthy, and having a good day!
