I am in love with this game! I found it while looking for new games to stream, and I felt like playing something on Itch.io. I do not regret downloading this for a second! Gumdrop is by far the most lovable character I've seen in a visual novel. You can find the stream here if you would like.
Judging by your webcomics some endings are clearly not canon (assuming that the webcomics itself is canon).
1) according to the webcomics Syrup is still alive 2) she still runs her store. 3) the candy girl is alive.
In other words, we can rule out all bad endings.
As for good endings, I know following:
1)Syrup still doesn't know that her assistent has magical powers
The only way for Syrup to know it is to look inside the crystal ball. It means she didn't look inside the crystall ball. But refusing to look inside the crystal ball, as far as I remember, will always lead to the same ending - "Syrup end".
If my assumptions are right and I remember everything correctly it means that "Syrup end" is the true ending.

I tested this, and you're right, not looking always goes to the Sy end. But if I remember correctly (which I probably don't, I have a terrible memory) there's a certain part of an ending (I forget which, maybe the Butterscotch one) where Sy looks but doesn't tell Pastille she knows. So maybe she's acting like she doesn't know in the comics? I don't fully assume the comics are 100% cannon either though. My best guesses are the Gumdrop and Butterscotch. Either way I guess it doesn't matter too much?
1."Sy looks but doesn't tell Pastille she knows" Yes, you're right. There is such ending. I checked the game, it's in the Gumdrop's ending, the Butterscotch's ending and the Toffee's ending. But in the Gumdrop's ending the candy girl travels with Syrop over the world, while Pastille runs the store. In the comics you can see that it isn't the case. As for the Butterscotch's ending, in said ending Syrop doesn't hide her recepies and it isn't the case in the comics. And as for the Toffee ending, in the comics Syrop doesn't look to enjoy her company very much.
2."I don't fully assume the comics are 100% cannon either though." In game "Wandering wolf Trick" you can meet with Pastille and Syrop. If you talk with Pastille you can figure out that either Syrop still doesn't know or she pretends she doesn't know that her assistent can do magic. And I think Syrop still runs her business because in all endings where she is out business Pastille left Syrop forever. I think we can also exclude possibility that Trick met them before Gumdrop was created because in the Toffee's endings we can see that Treat lives alone (instead of with Mochi) in a permanent house (instead of an igloo). In other words, Gumdrop was created somewhere between "Lonely wolf Treat" and "Friendly bunny Mochi". "Wandering wolf Treat" happens latter than both of them, when Trick arrives Mochi already lives with Treat. Thus when Trick met Syrop Gumdrop probably already existed. Thus if we ignore the comics it leaves us with Toffee's, Butterscotch's and Gumdrop's endings as alternatives. Otherwise there is only the Syrop's ending.
I REALLY loved the game and ended up recording a couple videos of it for my channel! The first one went up just a few minutes ago so I thought that it was the perfect time to leave a comment! I loved the story and the different endings! I enjoyed that it wasn't over complex to get to the different endings and the art style is phenomenally adorable and very pleasing to the eye! Will definitely be a game I'll remember playing!
Not just that the art is super cute, the characters and the whole story are sweet as well! :) Each character had their own adorable oddness, and all the sugar-and-sweet puns are pretty funny in my opinion. <3 Gladly I recommended this visual novel in a short article on our blog and also uploaded a quick gameplay video. Hopefully some players found their way to your game via that. :)
Aaaah this was really cute~ So far I already know 2 endings. Can't wait to find out about the other routes! Giving lots of kudos for this lovely game! <3
Lovely artstyle with cute and adorable and sweet characters. And Gumdrop is sweet... so sweet... the sweetest. If I were you I'd name here Sweet :D
And 10 endings. Wow! It's a lot as for vn. :) Gumdrops' is my favourite. But to be honest I tough it'll end with something more like a confession... But this way is great too. Very every-age-friendly :3
Hello? Can you please make an andoid/ ios version? I've been looking around all the internet and I couldn't find one...but since you're the creator, might as well ask you!
sure! i've actually really wanted to do mobile ports for my VNs, i just keep being busy with other things. nice to know people are interested though, it really makes the work feel worth doing haha
Hi Nami i have a Theory the all of the series lonely wolf treat and syrup and the ultimate sweet are link up i am playing the game never mind the games are link up i just got to the part where it shows treat and please comment back
Hah, it's no roblem being busy, it's just that I would like to read this visual novel on my phone!plus I really like your art style, it makes the download go up in the sky!
P.S. sorry for not responding, I haven't really checked if you responded since most of the developers don't anyway ^^''
A great game you made here. I made a review of Syrup and The Ultimate Sweet in my tumblr blog here. Also I made a post- playing review here. I hope this will give you my support in creating games!
I was compelled suddenly to look for visual novels and i have to say that i am not disappointed with this game one bit! It was extremely quirky and cute not to mention great design, visuals, dialogue, etc
aww thank you so much!! the best advice i can offer to new vn developers is to start with something small that you'll be able to finish easily. good luck with your games! i'm cheering you on~
hmm... i've never seen this before. generally my advice is to just try re-downloading it in case something went wrong? sorry that i can't be of more assistance!
Yeah, I've been having the same problem too... I extracted the zip file, opened the game, and got the same message. Happens every time I re-download. I think it's something about my anti-virus/software deleting "syrup.exe" because it identified it as a possible security threat.
Great VN, I think you should add this to the spinoffs in the Lonely Wolf Treat series, due to Treat's cameo and the fact that said cameo was acknowledged in Friendly Bunny Mochi. Also, how come you added the webcomic to the spinoffs but not the VN?
oh! i actually made syrup and the ultimate sweet first, so it's strange to call this a spinoff of the treat series... first kiss at a spooky soiree is in the same universe too and that's not listed either. looks like i need a wiki page or something lol
haha yeah i think treat mochi and moxie actually existed before i finished syrup, then i ended up putting treat in this game since i needed an extra character for the snowy mountain and she fit really well. i'd planned all along to make a game/series actually starring treat, it was lucky that everyone was so in love with her instantly anyway hahaha
Cute cute cute! I love your art style, and I thought this game was thoroughly charming! I thought the characters were perfect too. I'll be playing more of your work!

Sorry if you've been asked this before, but I can't really tell which end is cannon. Sorry if I'm just being dumb and it says somewhere in the game.
there's no true ending, so all of them are canon honestly! gumdrop's is the easiest to get though i think.

Judging by Nami's webcomics "Another piece of candy" (http://another-piece-of-candy.thewebcomic.com/comics/2436573/trip-to-the-candy-s...) some endings are clearly not canon (assuming that the webcomics itself is canon).

This game is adorable!!
Also I drew Toffee 'w' https://www.deviantart.com/nekonomiya/art/Color-Palette-Challenge-182-753184118
thank you so much!!!!!!
This game is adorable and, dare I say, super sweet!!
i need help running it
So adorable. Everything is sweet and cute!
Is there an ending guide to this game? I hate having to keep guessing.
in the art collection pdf it gives away what choices you should make for all the endings, yes :)
Well, I just guessed each time, so I got it all in about 5 hours.
Good game, though.
if only it were available on my device ;-;
I REALLY loved the game and ended up recording a couple videos of it for my channel! The first one went up just a few minutes ago so I thought that it was the perfect time to leave a comment!

I've been looking all over and I can't find the soundtrack to this game. Was it ever released? And if not are you planning or doing so?
there's a link on the page, sorry if it didn't stand out very well haha: https://mockoff.bandcamp.com/album/syrup-and-the-ultimate-sweet-ost
Aaaah this was really cute~ So far I already know 2 endings. Can't wait to find out about the other routes! Giving lots of kudos for this lovely game! <3

Hello Nomnomnami!
A great game you made here. I made a review of Syrup and The Ultimate Sweet in my tumblr blog here. Also I made a post- playing review here. I hope this will give you my support in creating games!
-yummycake was here-
This is super cute! I love it 5/5
I was compelled suddenly to look for visual novels and i have to say that i am not disappointed with this game one bit! It was extremely quirky and cute not to mention great design, visuals, dialogue, etc
so um
i really super love your games, and this one in particular
i have played all of them, and have just finished the final ending on mermaid splash
your stories are so nice and your art is adorable and i have actually played this one about 5 times
im super excited for the 5th installment in the lonely wolf treat series
your games have actually inspired me to start trying to make visual novels of my own
i dont really have a game idea yet but i do have renpy so thats a start
all of your characters and games are great and i hope you continue making games in the future
do you have any tips for coming up with VN ideas or just making VN's in general?
anyways, i'm gonna go play romance detective again
and maybe this one after that
thanks for reading
<3
aww thank you so much!! the best advice i can offer to new vn developers is to start with something small that you'll be able to finish easily. good luck with your games! i'm cheering you on~
would it be okay if i cosplayed one of your characters??????
of course! feel free~
Toffee is such a precious babbyyyyyyy!!! I need plushies of him right away. ♥♥♥♥♥
toffee's pronouns are actually them/their! but yes i agree heheh
Funny how "neither" becomes available at a certain point. Love the little easter egg :P
hmm... i've never seen this before. generally my advice is to just try re-downloading it in case something went wrong? sorry that i can't be of more assistance!
Yeah, I've been having the same problem too... I extracted the zip file, opened the game, and got the same message. Happens every time I re-download. I think it's something about my anti-virus/software deleting "syrup.exe" because it identified it as a possible security threat.
I got that message once, but I launched the game again and it worked
SUPER CUTE
Great VN, I think you should add this to the spinoffs in the Lonely Wolf Treat series, due to Treat's cameo and the fact that said cameo was acknowledged in Friendly Bunny Mochi. Also, how come you added the webcomic to the spinoffs but not the VN?
Apart from that, it's great!
oh! i actually made syrup and the ultimate sweet first, so it's strange to call this a spinoff of the treat series... first kiss at a spooky soiree is in the same universe too and that's not listed either. looks like i need a wiki page or something lol
Wow, I didn't know Syrup came first, so you decided to make an entire game series based around a minor character? That's awesome!
haha yeah i think treat mochi and moxie actually existed before i finished syrup, then i ended up putting treat in this game since i needed an extra character for the snowy mountain and she fit really well. i'd planned all along to make a game/series actually starring treat, it was lucky that everyone was so in love with her instantly anyway hahaha
This game made me gayer.
...
thank you
YOU'RE WELCOME <3
cuuuute loved the nonbinary cat
im gay and so is this game 10/10.
Cute cute cute! I love your art style, and I thought this game was thoroughly charming! I thought the characters were perfect too. I'll be playing more of your work!
Hey Nami, me again. Is it ok if i get permission from you to make a fan comic for this and send it to you when it's done?
of course! i'd love to see~
Thanks! I also did some Syrup digital art on MS Paint. I hope it's ok. Sorry if it looks rushed, but i tried my best ^^'
aww, cute!! thank you for sharing :D
Aww, thanks ^-^
I was worried it would have come out bad
