I’m really not into any of the kinks displayed here. Like, at all. Most of the time I was pretty squicked.
But the actual story and puzzle-solving was pretty damn engaging.
At some point I knew there was nothing coming that’d leave me satisfied. Just different levels of despair and discontentment. But I still wanted to see it all. I had to know the full shape of it before I could put it down.
(That said, it would’ve been nice to have something in-game to help me track what endings I’ve gotten through, but I just kept notes when I realized there wasn’t.)
SPOILERS BELOW:
The only thing that really frustrated me was the Mahjong sequence. The questions are opaque enough to someone who doesn’t know the game that I had no idea what was even being asked most of the time, even after doing some research to try to wrap my head around it. Hell, I still don’t know why most of the right answers were right. …It didn’t help that it led to what I found the least satisfying ending. Though I guess the irony of getting the least satisfaction out of outright “defeating” the villain is pretty exquisite.
Yall... When this game says "contains dark themes" it really means it. Don't be like me. I thought this would be a fun little h0rny game. It was not. I am sad now! Devastated even! But other than that. This game was really well written, and puts a really dark twist on hypnosis that I had not considered before. 9/10 (P.s. Adam is my favorite)
there should be an ending where you inject yourself with the syringe, take a particularly sharp piece of the broken couch, stake jarby, take his power for yourself, then either free everyone or take jarby's place, either following in his footsteps, or consuming every last drop of blood in all the thralls and then following up with the rest of mankind, eventually becoming a physical god
Great game lots of kinks some i like some not personally didnt like the Dillon freedom ending because if my best friend (who happens to be a dog (an actual dog lol)) died infront of be by someones actions i dont know what id do but it would tear me apart. Hypno kink is hot but i feel like its too strong for my complete liking some of the stuff that happens kinda puts me off but thats just me im a little tame on the kinks so strong stuff like this is a bit much for me (didnt stop me from getting the endings) if you like strong kinks this is your game. If not its still a good game just brace yourself. Also just for the record i feel like i identify with andrews freedom ending alot... anyways 10/10 lol
Duuuude tho i really liked your game (10/10), cant stop thinking at dillon's thrall and good ending( Breaks my hearts deeply)! And I kept imagining him with a well brushed beard tho dont seems.
Hope you keep doing amazing stuff like that and take Care of you
This is extremely well written. A good mixture of body horror, regular horror and lewd.
I noticed a couple of minor spelling issues, but the only thing that stuck out to me was that you have a portion of Rocky's speech in his Thrall Ending colored as Jarby's speech.
I puzzled out all 12 endings. My favorite is probably Dillon's Thrall Ending. It's... comfy, if a little melancholy. The 'best' ending IMO is Dillon's Freedom Ending. It feels like it has the strongest setup for 'doing something about it'.
Spoilers below:
I appreciate the inclusion of things that grey the water on freeing people. Andrew preferring the hypnosis to his old life is a good touch, and Rocky being completely broken without it is an interesting (and horrifying) wrinkle. I like the plot detail that the more hypnotized a thrall is, the dumber they are. It's a well thought out drawback to vampire thralldom.
I love Andrew and Jarby's relationship. I love that, despite Jarby clearly holding all of the power, Andrew can boss him around like the Big Bro he's hypnotized to be like.
I love all of the characters. Except Throckmorton, he can jump off a bridge (I'll help). Everyone has an interesting bit of nuance to them, and with all the enthralled folks, the little peek at who they were before they were enthralled is very interesting. Lots of unanswered questions that are interesting to ponder.
IF you were to ever return to this project (I read that you at some point just had to call it done. I know what that's like) I would personally like to be able to get more lewd with everyone. It's possible my particular path veered away from some of that stuff, but the scene where you just ram your face into Andrew's armpit was 👌👀💦 and I was hoping for more like it. It does sort of undercut the frantic nature of your attempt to escape, but there are some hints that the MC is kind of horny about his predicament even if he's also horrified by it (and horny horror is my favorite kind of horny). Dillon's huge cock comes to mind...
And there feels like a huge lack of overt interaction with Jarby himself. I was hoping that waiting with any of the NPCs would allow an interaction with Jarby, even if it's just a few words of terse conversation before he knocks you out. Maybe just an option to suck his dick while he's sleeping, or bury his face in your armpit (to smother him??? He probably doesn't need to breathe.). Jarby is heccin cute, even if he's a goddamn monster.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my ted talk. Sorry for posting a wall of text, but I really enjoyed this. It's got me thinking about how things could go. How one might achieve something resembling a good ending. (Get a steel mirror and force Jarby to hypnotize himself into not taking any more thralls and freeing you, Dillon, and your beau? Would killing him break the hypnosis for everyone? Could you become a more powerful vampire and take control of Jarby's situation?)
Good to know RE: the text color mistake - I have a doc of all the errors I’ve caught, but updating the game file seems to notify every follower, so I’m holding off until I either have a long list of corrections or have a more significant update ready.
Great job finding all of the endings! Dillon’s thrall ending was the first one I wrote, and Dillon’s freedom ending was the last - they’re also my favorite endings. I just really enjoyed writing Dillon, which I didn’t expect when I initially started working on him. Pretty sure he’s got the most dialogue, too.
Though everyone was a lot of fun to flesh out, even Throcky, who is an absolute, irredeemable piece of shit. I put a lot of effort into each of the boys and tried my best to make them feel distinct, down to their brand of hypnosis and relationship with Jarby.
It’s probably unusual for a porn game to feature a protagonist who’s super not into their situation, but the horror and revulsion and panic from Four’s perspective is what’s most hot for me, so sex scenes were saved for the thrall endings where Four is made to feel lust for Jarby and the other boys.
As a result, I can’t see (non-hypnotized) Four wanting to do anything sexual with Jarby, even if the player might, but an ending focusing more on Jarby would be nice. You might’ve seen it already, I have an idea for at least one more ending, and it would mainly involve Jarby and an entity related to the statuette in the safe. Even that ending would be “bittersweet,” though!
The ✧ before each link was pretty easy to do! You’d just add this in the CSS:
The protagonist's perspective is actually something I like. I'm kinda super into noncon/dubcon, so the fact that he's very upset with his situation, but shows signs of being somewhat aroused by it clicks pretty well with me. I'd definitely love to see it if you came back to complete the statue ending 👀
Thanks for the tip, that's tidy~!
And I'm just glad you like the art! I'm always worried about drawn fanart, can never be sure how folk might respond.
Very well written, and I'm quite the fan of the different levels and depth of brainwashing on the different characters. I'd love to see/help see more of that in the future.
Personally speaking, however, I do wish there were 2 or 3 more endings:
Four successfully freeing himself without notice
Four freeing several thralls so they can end their service with finality.
Four diving into deviancy (likely after some pit time with Webber) and somehow swaying or seducing his "master" into elevating him as an equal or more.
Thanks very much for playing! Glad to hear that the character writing was a highlight - I put a lot of effort into making the thralls seem distinct and interesting!
I did want to include an ending where multiple thralls are freed (a possible best ending), but at 12 endings already I realized I needed to wrap things up. At some point, I want to go back and include an ending where you make a pact with the demon depicted by the statuette and take control, but even that would be at a cost. Even the "good" endings have to be imperfect!
Thanks so much for playing, and glad to hear you enjoyed the game!! :)
I'd like to go back and add more endings, but I haven't had as much time and energy lately since I've been focusing on my career. Hopefully I can get back to working on fun stuff soon!
It would be technically possible to add a Spanish translation, but at 55k words that would essentially be the same as translating a short novel, and my Spanish is extremely poor. Even if I found a willing translator, integrating the translations into the game (or even making a separate version) would take a lot of time, unfortunately.
Very sweet of you to say I should add a donation option! Maybe I'll get around to making a Ko-fi or something one of these days lol
Again, thanks for playing and taking the time to leave a comment! Very much appreciated!
played through to the adam thrall ending, i enjoyed it, but also, kinda hard to read for me personally; i have trouble with games like this where the pov character thinks very differently to me, and so tend to favor stories of more willing hugeness <3
Thanks for playing! It would be such a different experience if Four woke up and was like "Yeah, this is actually fine, pass me some more weight gain shake" lol. He gets there in Adam's thrall ending, at least!
Thanks for playing! I joked to some friends a while back that Enthralled 2 would feature Jarby as the protag, but I don't see myself continuing the story in that way lol
I do want to make a game where the player is the one with all the control, however!
I played your game, got every ending, and became depressed shortly afterwards. If that's not a testament being an amazing writer, idk what is, 10/10, wish I could do more for Rocky, his whole story upset me the most. good game though
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say! Glad you enjoyed the game overall, even if it made you feel depressed lol
Rocky and Adam are both from a story I wrote years ago, if you're curious to see how it all started for them! They're the only two characters (besides Jarby) that aren't new
I mean, this is nice and what I was looking for (weight gain and horror), but these endings… I satisfied my needs, but now I’m kind of depressed or disoriented.
But despite that is was great experience and I want to thank you!
Are you referring to the app? I didn't know itch.io had one until just now. I looked into downloading it for troubleshooting, but it's not available for my device.
What I've done on my end is uploaded another file (enthralled1.1.2.html), made it the primary file, and gave it the same settings as the last file. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be installable. Do you need the older file?
pffffff wow...this is possibly one of the most haunting porn games I have played, you do an amazing job at selling the hopelessness and desperation, got to Dillion and realized I couldn't play anymore, got too sick to my stomach, none of this is meant to be rude God no I think your a amazing writer if you can make me hate a game this much, though maybe you achieved that because you tapped into one of my greatest fears? hard to say unless you wanna have a introspective chat about my psychology. regardless beautiful job on this and I hope I can erase this from my memory
Also just to report I think I've finally cleared the game from haunting my mind, I actually kinda had a existential crisis from this game, from being scared of doing hypno stuff with my friends, to the point where the game plauged my mind, no idea why it did cause I have seen worse but I think I realized why it did, but I'm not gonna bore you with that I just wanted to tell your sadistic ass that I've managed to recover from the (again very well written) curse you put on me from your game
it would be cool if there was an ending where you take the vamp's home for yourself. idk how realistic is that or if it fits. but it would be cool if the MC takes over by becoming a feeder and using that to cut key staff that keep the mansion from collapse
I wish to quite literally rip and tear by whatever means necessary including if I have to de fang someone. I prefer going down with a fight. Also what would happen if I used the syringe on Jar? It is indeed something thats quite interesting to ponder because if its good for removing hypnosis then I must wonder what else it might be able to do such as if it would cut his hypnosis completely from everyone. Sorta like taking out a node that connects a whole network.
Alas, Three's fate was pretty much sealed many hundreds of pounds ago 😔 It's unlikely, but there are two endings where he could be rescued in the future, if things go extremely well!
*sigh* I don't like that all the endings are so bittersweet, but I get the point/their appeal. After all, even for me, they are only logical, there are just way too many safeguards that got set up in place. This is probably the darkest Hypnosis can go... and I don't like the loss of identity at all..., but given even some classical concepts, it fits, like a horrible glove.
While I don't think you will, at least for this game, but perhaps a AU story, only if it strikes your fancy, to have a mutual instead of possessive relationship among all the characters, in which case they be friends/acquaintances, consensual, and symbiotic. What if similar but loosely results were to be achieved without removal of free will or identity? What if everyone sort of gets what they want without use of force? It may still suck, but it would suck less (kek ^^;).
I'm just one of those who would rather stick to the brighter side of things, but that doesn't mean they have to be perfect for all, the perfection I like is when things can be balanced, no one really suffers, and they can help each other out and find understanding and admiration, despite some differences or quirks. I don't like the sadness, but this is still done so beautifully.
Thank you for playing! I definitely get where you're coming from - the overall tone is fairly bleak, and that's not often what people seek out in a porn game. Though there are certainly endings where you can find happiness, even if that happiness comes at a cost.
And beyond the smuttiness, I wanted to write a story with horror and tension - I can't help but take "This is probably the darkest Hypnosis can go" as a compliment lol
Anyways, I'm glad you were still able to enjoy the game! Thanks again for taking the time to play it and provide your thoughts.
Great game! I have got all of the 12 endings and throughout the game I rly enjoyed it :3
Will you be adding more endings into the game? Because SPOILERS:
None of the ending seems like a good ending to me xwx, the worst one to me is probably with the blob. I hope to see more endings here and there! And maybe the best ending where you are finally in charge and fatten up everryone in the mansion (≧▽≦) EVERYONE GETS IMMOBILE!
Great job finding all of the endings, and thank you for playing! ❤️
It was intentional that even the better endings are flawed - either you're giving something up or there's more difficulty to come. It's a horny game, but not a happy game lol
I'd like to go back and add some additional endings in the future, including one where you can take control. Though even an ending like that won't be perfect!
Great game! I wrote a little review with some thoughs, idk if that shows up here.
I got 10/12 endings. Is there a way to endear yourself to other thralls than Webster, such that you can appeal to them in a "fail" ending to help you out? Webster is the best in the game imo, and he actually taught me some rules to Mahjong I didn't know. I got into mahjohg from the Nintendo Clubhouse games and Enthralled lowkey taught me some real helpful info on playing Riichi.
Would love to see more Jarby! This was a fantastic project
Thank you so much! I'm also not sure if reviews show up on this page, but I read through it and really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
You can endear yourself to Webster, Adam, Dillon, and Rocky - basically all of the thralls that can hold a conversation. You can tell they like you enough to intervene when they're more positive towards you in the conversation "root" page, or when you approach or leave. If you're having trouble getting there, if you say one or two positively received things to a thrall and then choose to wait with them, that'll make them like you enough to speak up. Let me know if you have any other issues!
Not at this time - it's a cameo of my friend Xill's demon character, as a way of thanking him for testing out the game and giving feedback. I do have an idea for an ending involving the statue and demonic possession, so I might add that later on.
Yep, there are a few endings where you escape. You'll need help from one of the thralls, but they need something from you first. Try getting past Rocky in the bedroom, if you haven't already.
This site doesn't allow for spoiler tags in comments, so I have to be cryptic lol

I’m really not into any of the kinks displayed here. Like, at all. Most of the time I was pretty squicked.
But the actual story and puzzle-solving was pretty damn engaging.
At some point I knew there was nothing coming that’d leave me satisfied. Just different levels of despair and discontentment. But I still wanted to see it all. I had to know the full shape of it before I could put it down.
(That said, it would’ve been nice to have something in-game to help me track what endings I’ve gotten through, but I just kept notes when I realized there wasn’t.)
SPOILERS BELOW:
The only thing that really frustrated me was the Mahjong sequence. The questions are opaque enough to someone who doesn’t know the game that I had no idea what was even being asked most of the time, even after doing some research to try to wrap my head around it. Hell, I still don’t know why most of the right answers were right. …It didn’t help that it led to what I found the least satisfying ending. Though I guess the irony of getting the least satisfaction out of outright “defeating” the villain is pretty exquisite.
I love this, the 12 endings are magnificent, I wish I could do more with the statue in the safe, MORE CONTENT PLEASE
Thank you! I'm brainstorming ideas for another ending that involves the statuette, so hopefully I've have that implemented in the future!
Yall... When this game says "contains dark themes" it really means it. Don't be like me. I thought this would be a fun little h0rny game. It was not. I am sad now! Devastated even! But other than that. This game was really well written, and puts a really dark twist on hypnosis that I had not considered before. 9/10 (P.s. Adam is my favorite)
Thanks so much!! Hypnosis is a dish best served devastating. 😈
there should be an ending where you inject yourself with the syringe, take a particularly sharp piece of the broken couch, stake jarby, take his power for yourself, then either free everyone or take jarby's place, either following in his footsteps, or consuming every last drop of blood in all the thralls and then following up with the rest of mankind, eventually becoming a physical god
Please be nice to Jarby - he's done nothing wrong ever in his whole life 🥺
what's the safe code?
Looks like you got it, but in case anyone else gets stuck: you can talk to the other thralls for hints!
Great game lots of kinks some i like some not personally didnt like the Dillon freedom ending because if my best friend (who happens to be a dog (an actual dog lol)) died infront of be by someones actions i dont know what id do but it would tear me apart.

Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you stuck with it, even if some of the kinks and beats are a bit intense.
Duuuude tho i really liked your game (10/10), cant stop thinking at dillon's thrall and good ending( Breaks my hearts deeply)! And I kept imagining him with a well brushed beard tho dont seems.
Hope you keep doing amazing stuff like that and take Care of you
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed the game! A groomed beard would suit that donk very well.

P.S.: I like the way you marked the choices with a star. I think I'm gonna steal that for my own twine thingey.

Creí que me faltaba alguno pero sin querés termine completando todos los finales, me encantan todos y cada uno, son todos increibles 10/10.
¿Tienes pensado añadir más finales o hacer otros juegos de el mismo ambito?
¿Será posible que le añadas el idioma en español?
Deberías poner la opción de donación voluntaria, ¡Hay que premiar el éxito!!
Thanks so much for playing, and glad to hear you enjoyed the game!! :)

Thanks for playing! It would be such a different experience if Four woke up and was like "Yeah, this is actually fine, pass me some more weight gain shake" lol. He gets there in Adam's thrall ending, at least!
kinda wish we had a game from jarby's perspective instead. i love chubby and obese guys but i would rather play with them than play as them
Thanks for playing! I joked to some friends a while back that Enthralled 2 would feature Jarby as the protag, but I don't see myself continuing the story in that way lol
I do want to make a game where the player is the one with all the control, however!
i would most certainly look forward to it too many games with chub/fat content focus on getting fat yourself and losing control
I played your game, got every ending, and became depressed shortly afterwards. If that's not a testament being an amazing writer, idk what is, 10/10, wish I could do more for Rocky, his whole story upset me the most. good game though

Just means you're an amazing writer! I hope one day there is way to save them all, but I understand you were going for something bleak
you should make a guide to all the endings
I've got you covered! Massive spoilers, of course.
Enthralled Ending Codes
What's in this update?
Just fixed some formatting mistakes and typos. Sorry about the notification!
I mean, this is nice and what I was looking for (weight gain and horror), but these endings… I satisfied my needs, but now I’m kind of depressed or disoriented. But despite that is was great experience and I want to thank you!
Thanks so much for playing! Always happy to hear that the game made an impact 😈
I both love and hate this, while yeah it's hot and everything, he amount you pout into the charachters and how hopeless everything is terrifies me
Thank you, and I'm sorry! 😁
What has changed with the update?
Oh whoops, I didn't realize that it would notify followers. Sorry about that! 🙇♂️
Just a small update - I changed the font so dialogue choices are more readable.
Well, can you make it installable for itch.io? I tried to update it, and lost the original.
Are you referring to the app? I didn't know itch.io had one until just now. I looked into downloading it for troubleshooting, but it's not available for my device.
What I've done on my end is uploaded another file (enthralled1.1.2.html), made it the primary file, and gave it the same settings as the last file. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be installable. Do you need the older file?
Yes, please
Looks like DMs aren't a thing on this site, but if you email fa.mysteriousmysterious@gmail.com, I'll send over the older html file!
pffffff wow...this is possibly one of the most haunting porn games I have played, you do an amazing job at selling the hopelessness and desperation, got to Dillion and realized I couldn't play anymore, got too sick to my stomach, none of this is meant to be rude God no I think your a amazing writer if you can make me hate a game this much, though maybe you achieved that because you tapped into one of my greatest fears? hard to say unless you wanna have a introspective chat about my psychology. regardless beautiful job on this and I hope I can erase this from my memory
Hehehe >:3c
But thank you! I appreciate you giving it a try, and I'm glad my writing was able to elicit such a strong response!
mhm of course
Also just to report I think I've finally cleared the game from haunting my mind, I actually kinda had a existential crisis from this game, from being scared of doing hypno stuff with my friends, to the point where the game plauged my mind, no idea why it did cause I have seen worse but I think I realized why it did, but I'm not gonna bore you with that I just wanted to tell your sadistic ass that I've managed to recover from the (again very well written) curse you put on me from your game
Sadism is the secret to writing effective horror/smut! Happy to hear that you were able to recover, tho! :)
it would be cool if there was an ending where you take the vamp's home for yourself. idk how realistic is that or if it fits. but it would be cool if the MC takes over by becoming a feeder and using that to cut key staff that keep the mansion from collapse
I've got some ideas for a similar ending involving the statuette in the safe. Though that kind of power would come at a cost!
If in the future there are content updates I hope it's related to the statue of demonic figure.
I have some ideas for it! Taking a bit of a break from writing at the moment, but when life chills out I want to add an entire route for it.
I wish to quite literally rip and tear by whatever means necessary including if I have to de fang someone. I prefer going down with a fight. Also what would happen if I used the syringe on Jar? It is indeed something thats quite interesting to ponder because if its good for removing hypnosis then I must wonder what else it might be able to do such as if it would cut his hypnosis completely from everyone. Sorta like taking out a node that connects a whole network.
It's a great game! But, for the vault scene on the game. [Mild Spoiler]
Is the password on the "inspect closer" scene the actual code?
Thank you! Those numbers are involved in the code, but not in that exact order. If you're stuck, the thralls can give you hints!
is there anyway to save # 3 sobsob ;_;
great game tho hothothot
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the game!
Alas, Three's fate was pretty much sealed many hundreds of pounds ago 😔 It's unlikely, but there are two endings where he could be rescued in the future, if things go extremely well!
*sigh* I don't like that all the endings are so bittersweet, but I get the point/their appeal. After all, even for me, they are only logical, there are just way too many safeguards that got set up in place. This is probably the darkest Hypnosis can go... and I don't like the loss of identity at all..., but given even some classical concepts, it fits, like a horrible glove.
While I don't think you will, at least for this game, but perhaps a AU story, only if it strikes your fancy, to have a mutual instead of possessive relationship among all the characters, in which case they be friends/acquaintances, consensual, and symbiotic. What if similar but loosely results were to be achieved without removal of free will or identity? What if everyone sort of gets what they want without use of force? It may still suck, but it would suck less (kek ^^;).
I'm just one of those who would rather stick to the brighter side of things, but that doesn't mean they have to be perfect for all, the perfection I like is when things can be balanced, no one really suffers, and they can help each other out and find understanding and admiration, despite some differences or quirks. I don't like the sadness, but this is still done so beautifully.
Thank you for playing! I definitely get where you're coming from - the overall tone is fairly bleak, and that's not often what people seek out in a porn game. Though there are certainly endings where you can find happiness, even if that happiness comes at a cost.
And beyond the smuttiness, I wanted to write a story with horror and tension - I can't help but take "This is probably the darkest Hypnosis can go" as a compliment lol
Anyways, I'm glad you were still able to enjoy the game! Thanks again for taking the time to play it and provide your thoughts.
Great game! I have got all of the 12 endings and throughout the game I rly enjoyed it :3
Will you be adding more endings into the game? Because SPOILERS:
None of the ending seems like a good ending to me xwx, the worst one to me is probably with the blob. I hope to see more endings here and there! And maybe the best ending where you are finally in charge and fatten up everryone in the mansion (≧▽≦) EVERYONE GETS IMMOBILE!
Great job finding all of the endings, and thank you for playing! ❤️
It was intentional that even the better endings are flawed - either you're giving something up or there's more difficulty to come. It's a horny game, but not a happy game lol
I'd like to go back and add some additional endings in the future, including one where you can take control. Though even an ending like that won't be perfect!
Great game! I wrote a little review with some thoughs, idk if that shows up here.
I got 10/12 endings. Is there a way to endear yourself to other thralls than Webster, such that you can appeal to them in a "fail" ending to help you out? Webster is the best in the game imo, and he actually taught me some rules to Mahjong I didn't know. I got into mahjohg from the Nintendo Clubhouse games and Enthralled lowkey taught me some real helpful info on playing Riichi.
Would love to see more Jarby! This was a fantastic project
Thank you so much! I'm also not sure if reviews show up on this page, but I read through it and really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
You can endear yourself to Webster, Adam, Dillon, and Rocky - basically all of the thralls that can hold a conversation. You can tell they like you enough to intervene when they're more positive towards you in the conversation "root" page, or when you approach or leave. If you're having trouble getting there, if you say one or two positively received things to a thrall and then choose to wait with them, that'll make them like you enough to speak up. Let me know if you have any other issues!
And hell yes! Mahjong is life 🀄🀄🀄
Does the statue have any importance?
Not at this time - it's a cameo of my friend Xill's demon character, as a way of thanking him for testing out the game and giving feedback. I do have an idea for an ending involving the statue and demonic possession, so I might add that later on.
is there a way to escape?
Yep, there are a few endings where you escape. You'll need help from one of the thralls, but they need something from you first. Try getting past Rocky in the bedroom, if you haven't already.
This site doesn't allow for spoiler tags in comments, so I have to be cryptic lol
Great game! Really enjoyed it!
Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
