cried. 10/10

hi nomnomnami

HAVE IT ON STEAM MY FAV THING AUUUUUUHUHGHGHG

Given the premise of the game (or what little is shown), it’s a little strange to not have a content warning. What kinds of ends are here?

I just wanna know if the hero has a confirmed sexuality

I love this game though I feel I never truly finished.

(+2)(-1)

Why don't you make a DEMO of the game?

Was this game ever in a bundle before this one it's currently bundles in?

(+5)

I understand that this probably won’t happen (for multiple reasons) but have you considered making a sequel? This type of gameplay is completely unique, the characters are very unique and you strive for their success.

Like seeing more of the characters together interacting in a new/different story. I know this defeats the meaning of the ending and I know it probably won’t happen as it would require a lot of time and energy, but I would definitely enjoy a sequel with the same characters.


dont feel obligated to answer. I always want to take the time and thank you NomNomNami for your creativity. Your work really paid off and made it possible to enjoy such a wonderful story. Great work NomNomNami. 




PLEASE, IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT PLAYING THIS GAME, GIVE IT A SHOT, IT IS TRULY A UNIQUE ADVENTURE. 

hi, uh I really wanna play this but uhh I don’t have a computer or android and stuff so… do u think one day maybe you could port it to the switch like syrup and the ultimate sweet? I really enjoyed that game too!

This game is very unique and amazing. I love the personality choice mechanic it was so fun to mess around with. The story within in my heart actually. 100% recommend forever. Please treat the babies well.

(+1)

A touching game with a touching ending.

I wish you happiness.

very good game! didn't got it from itch.io though, bought it on the playstore. but i figured the review may get to you better through here! 

i have to say i haven't completed it 100%, but i got to see the "ending" ( got to 36 endings ! i'd say that's a lot )  though i know i can continue playing n there's probably some surprises awaiting when i decide to pick it up again! loved every little aspect of the game personally, from the characters designs to the overall premise of the game and playability, i'm not much into puzzle games but this game is particularly addicting and without getting into too much spoilery stuff, i loved the little rpg kinda battle u added. i strive to be as succesful as you some day.. keep it up! one of the many indie game creators that doesn't fail to amaze me everytime :D

(+3)

update: I 100% THE GAME OMG... WON'T SPOIL THE ENDING BUT.. REALLY GOOD <3 my final review is, this was a project with surely a lot of passion put into it!! one of your best games this far, so glad i decided to buy it :3 

(+2)

this game was INSANELY fun!!!!! i beat it in one sitting and 100%’d it!!!!!! i really hope you (or someone else!) make more puzzle games like this in the future, ive been waiting for these mechanics my whole life!

good game

(+1)(-1)

maybe this comment has SPOILERS, so leave if you haven't played the game or beware.















(translation done by Google translator, forgive me even if it was bad, I don't know how to speak your language.)

look... what can i tell you? the songs are amazing and very nice to listen to, the game itself too, is very good, along with the story too, and how much it makes you like the characters in the theater so that there isn't even a happy ending for them, and you get sad for if identify maybe or because you liked the characters themselves, so there really isn't a happy ending for them, but a beautiful story at the end and... ah, it was one of my best experiences.




and then you ask me: 

"ah, but is this game worth it?"

and I answer you highlighted, that:

YES! 

how much the price cost, and how much for the game itself, are they worth it.

Well, I don't think I'm forgetting to say anything else, right? so I close here.

(+2)

I love this. 

(+2)

You're literally a master at punching me in the heart until I cry. It's...... thank you. 

AMAZING game !!! Rly recommend

(+1)

I am so thankful to this for introducing me to your other games. The behaviour mechanic is so well done!

wow, finally got around to completing this game. really really truly enjoyable! also lovely art style and music, and the credits music was a real treat!! got all the achievements except 2.... very worth playing!

I must say that was brilliant . A example of the illusion of choices this world gives us yet trapping us in a never ending loop of suffering and the only way to break that loop is to create our own choices instead of accepting the ones we are just offered . Everything from the story , animations to music deserve all the praise it gets . Looking forward to playing your other games.

(+5)

Oooh I love your game!!! My wife and I just got done watching Markiplier's play-through of it and it was so sweet :) It's so wonderful to discover a game with such a great story, so much wholesomeness, unique game-play mechanics and LGBT positivity <3

(+2)

I saw Fauna playing this and just and to come and support. Amazing game!!

I got into your stuff recently when I was going through my Racial Equality bundle and stumbled onto Lonely Wolf Trick. I proceeded to play through every one of that series, cried like a baby at the excellent positive polyamorous representation, then played Bad End Theater today and cried at the end of that too. Thank you so much for all of your work, it's all beautiful and relatable and you have my whole heart for it.

That was an amazing game, and I'm glad I got to play it :)
I wish the best to you in face of the odds! (a good end maybe?)

I wonder what game engine is used to build this, or what kind of framework.

(+1)

It's in the credits. It's ren'py. But definitely not stock ren'py.

(+1)

SO I BOUGHT THE GAME THROUGH STEAM BECAUSE I ONLY BUY STUFF THERE, BUT OMG I JUST REALIZED THAT YOU HAD IT THERE AND LIKE I LOVE THIS GAME!! her tears were my light just got mcfuckin replaced as my fav nomnomnami game (itll forever have a spot in my heart tho). BUT ILY AND I LOVE THIS GAME AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE!!

(+3)

I created this account just to write you this message.
I, like many others, watched Markiplier's video of your, let's be honest, masterpiece of a story game.

It doesn't take much to get me to cry, so it's not a surprise that I was almost bawling by the end. Tears streaming down my neck.
I'm not going to ask if the story is true, but I like to think it is. And I hope you and your love are together and happy, because you both deserve that happiness. 
Your families and various origin societies may not accept your love, but we very much do.
Thank you for the beautifully crafted experience. Really beat my heart up with that true ending. 

With love, 
A fellow queer, shedding many a tear.

I also watched Markiplier’s video, and started crying at the very end when I realized what had made me so interested in the stories presented before. Then I was relieved to see that the game was made by NomNomNami.

Give Lonely Wolf Trick a run if you haven’t already, you can’t shed one too many tear of joy.

(+2)(-1)

I love this game, watching the first 3 minutes of Markipliers video and I knew I had to play this for myself. I didn't want to go through Undertale again where I had spoilt everything ;/ Thanks for this 1 hour Theater show! You've interested me in what else you make, even if the follow up might lead me to your first days *wink* of RPG making(Implying that they may or may not be as good as this) Thanks!
