Love love LOVE everything about this game; it had me hooked on every choice, twist and ending and I couldn't get enough of the characters. I suspected Reginald to be too nice from the beginning but watching him completely switch and betray Mary was heart-breaking. You really feel for the main girl, making you attached and determined to get her a happy ending. The art is so unique and pleasant to look at, making the creepy moments stand out even more! This is one game that I'll be going back to more than once.
This was an amazing game. The characters had me invested, the story is just phenomenal, and to wrap it all up, the art style is amazing. I've only gotten through Crowven's ending but I will definitly being going through Reginal's as well, especially with his obscurity in the Crowven ending. Overall: 10/10, would recommend
I absolutely loved this game! I've seen it a few times in my recommended, and today I finally decided to give it a try. All I can say is I wish I would have played it sooner! Crowven and Mary's relationship had to be my favorite, I can't lie when I say I felt myself tearing up a little (more than a few times). The art is so pleasant to look at, and the world-building was done really well! Great job, I'm looking forward to any and all future projects :)
This game broke my heart! Such a tragic story but so well-written. The characters are wonderful (well... most of them). This game really gets you hooked. It might take hours to play, but it's worth every minute!
I finally got to this game!! I dedicated myself to recording every game you made. I just love your stuff!! I already played It's not me it's my basement, Crowscare, Tricks n Treat!! I having a blast and can't wait to dive deeper into the story!! 🤩😄😅🤭
(Subscribe and Like) - This is optional, Thank you😁
What a charming game! The art looked so nice and the story was captivating. I had a lot of fun playing it, I recorded one path and will play it on my own more to find alternative ways. Thank you so much for making it. :)
Absolutely shocking amount of content for free, so it was well worth the $5 for the bonus art. Some of the plot elements confused me but I was engrossed the whole time and went through every route/ending.
lol my dead name, haven't played it yet(don't have time/procrastination) but I definitely will play it very soon and pull an all nighter(IT LOOKS SUPER COOL TOO!!!<3)
Ah, thank you. The first few (Mary, Crowven, and Twyla) I figured out—though in Mary's case, only because someone pointed out the pun in her name. Given Reginald's surname, I can see Pufferfish (Tetra, as a play on "Tetrodotoxin"). Vasilis is still a mystery to me, even so. But that does nothing to diminish my appreciation!
You're welcome! I just really like explaining things about video games. Also, something that wasn't pointed out I forgot to mention was that Mary Anta is an anagram of Manta Ray
Mhm. Someone mentioned, and I pretty much facepalmed. The shape of her hair makes the allusion a little more prominent. I always like learning more about characters I'm fond of; it's an old hobby, of sorts.
I love your Games So Much! And I find the Click Place to Walk In "its not me its my basement" So Much Easier to Walk Sense my Down Arrow Key is Broken Off , And Your Art Style is Wonderful! , Keep Making Wonderful Games!.
Hi So, I Found You Through Bijuu Mike's Video Playing "It's No Me, It's My Basement" And Then I Just Recently Saw His Other Video Playing "CrowScare", Both Games Seem Really Cool, So I Have Downloaded Them To Play! Then I Saw Cemetery Mary And Just By Looking At The Cover I Knew I Had To Play It; Because Your Art-Style Is So Pretty!
Anyways That's Basically It! I Just Wanted To Say This! ^u^
So, I created an account on itchio just to be able to comment on this game, I had found your works a few months ago when being introduced to It's Not Me It's My Basement where Dr. D and Embry captured my heart. And it wasn't until recently I re-found you through Crowscare. I have downloaded and played all of your games except for Here for Sweethearts which I just haven't gotten around to yet.
But I'm not here to discuss how I found you, but rather, how much I love your work and how much you inspire me. I found Cemetery Mary through playing Tricks n Treats and decided to play it to understand the characters in that better, and I have no regrets.
This game is probably the most intriguing game I've found in quite a while, after every ending I wanted to know more and can't stop replaying it, even after I finished all endings and all variants of the True Ending. It also has probably some of the most powerful emotions I've felt in a game for a long time. Crowven's route always found a way to get me crying, Twyla's bad ending (and the True Ending for that matter) had made me feel so betrayed, Reginald's endings had both just left me in shock. I can't express just how much I loved this game, it's story is just so insane, but in a way that just makes me want to continue playing more.
And don't get me started on the art- when I had first found INMIMB the artstyle was what had reeled me in at first. I just adore everything you draw in general and everyone's designs are absolutely adorable. I love how cute Mary's hair is, her eyes just always make her look so interested in life and her outfit- it just looks so comfortable! Reginald's design holds such a nice color palette, and his work attire looks just perfect on him. Crowven's outfit is so cute and I just love how his hairstyle is. And I don't even know where to start with Twyla's design, I love every aspect given to her; and those spectacular eyebrows--
Anyways, sorry for the rambling, I just love this game so much and talk about it to the point where it's annoying my family and friends-
Oh my goodness, I don't even know where to start with this comment! It means so much to me. Receiving comments like this makes all the hard work and effort I put into Cemetery Mary feel worth it. I can't thank you enough!! This is surely going to be one of those comments I keep coming back to whenever I feel stuck or unmotivated.
I hope you'll be pleased to know that Cemetery Mary will be getting an update soon! I plan to release it to Steam soon, so I figured it would be good to update it accordingly. Nothing about the story or writing will change, but there is going to be some new pieces of art in places that were previously black screens, and characters will have blips when talking now!(Comes with a volume slider). I'm hoping to have it out sometime by the end of December, I'm thinking around Christmas time give or take a few days? So I hope you'll stick around and enjoy that, too!<3
Thank you so much again for the lovely comment. This really means the world to me and I can't thank you enough!
Ah, I'm glad you liked my rambling- and you should feel like your work towards this game was worth it, because it really is an amazing game! I'd honestly donate if I weren't so broke right now.
And I'm looking forward to the steam release! All of the new things sound exciting and I can't wait to be able to experience them! The cutscenes are probably some of the things that had stuck with me the most throughout your games, since they add so much more emotion than sprites can (and I just get to see more of your art)! And I'll definitely stick around for the update and any other future games you release!
OMG IT WAS SO AWESOME! I mean, at first I was a little bored since it was just reading and choices but something told me to keep going and I don't regret it one bit. Plus the description did say it was a visual novel so after a point I just saw it as an interactive book. Mary is so fricking adorable though. I don't know how she could ever be seen as creepy or scary. But there are still some things that confuse me like, who were all those people Mary met in her dream at the lake in Twyla's bad ending??? Did Crowven kill them?? And I wanna know more about Reginald's obsession with Mary! Like, how long he's been stalking her and such. And he also seemed to know about those weird inscriptions and stuff you'd see during his route and I recall him saying something like how he didn't want Mary to have to deal with the same things he does. Ahhh so many questions about him. But I will say is route was my favorite. Both the good and bad endings for it. I'm totally gonna look into more stuff you have. 100000/10!
This game genuinely took me by surprise - I didn't go in with any particular expectations, but by the time I completed the three routes I was absolutely blown away. There's so much variety in the three routes' moods, the characters are all well-rounded and distinct, the story-telling and pacing was superb and the sombre moments were delivered perfectly - the three routes alone would make this a fantastic game anyway, and the true ending just puts the cherry on top.
Thanks! Actualy i've already played almost all of them in wrong order, so appearance of Mary, Sunny and... "Unicorn guy" in "tricks and treats" was quite a spoiler:)) But now i won't let other people(whom i recommend your wonderful games) make the same mistake(n_n)
I loved this game so much in all aspects. You did a great job here, thank you so much! The characters were unique and well done, and the way emotions and certain topics were showed and discussed was so beautiful, it was surely a great experience to play it.
this game is amazing. although i havent gotten the true ending or any other endings other than crow's and reg's good ending, it was enough to satisfy my little heart's needs🥺
yo this story is SO good and emotional, I'm crying
this is so unfair, all this emotion and I got a bad end?! I tried to listen but then it just happened.... I gotta find out how to get the good end omfg but I played all evening so I hope it won't be long
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD WHERE DO I EVEN START, I AM INLOVE WITH ALL OF THE CHARCTERS HERE WAA I JUST, LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!! GOD I CANT WAIT FOR MORE GAMES FROM YOU AND GAMES RELATING TO THIS ONE!! ITS JUST<33 IM SO HAPPY I PLAYED IT!! THE STORY WAS SO NICE AND THE TRUE END WAS SO SO SUPERSING AND I LOVED IT!! DEF GONNA MAKE MY FRIENDS PLAY IT:) I HOPE MORE PEOPLE DISCOVER THIS GEM DSUHBSJNKML <33 HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY DEV!!
AAH!! THIS COMMENT IS SO HIGH ENERGY IT MAKES ME SO EXCITED AND HAPPY!! I LOVE IT!! THANK YOU!! I'm overjoyed that you loved the game so much it drove you to the point of caps lock!! This game means a lot to me so I'm so happy to hear it mean a lot to you! :'D Thank you so much for this comment, I'll treasure it! <3
I don’t even know where to begin on complimenting this game; the writing was stellar as you’ve been told, the graphics are charming, and the game was a fun experience. But my favorite part was the emotion it invigorated within me. It made me feel things, which not many even PAID games can deliver. So, I thank you. May I ask; can I make a discord server for this game? It deserves more love.
Thank you so much!! This comment is so sweet <3 You're absolutely more than welcome to make a discord for it, I'm very flattered that you want to! :'D Thank you so much again!!

I haven't played much of this game yet, I'm pacing myself. But goddamn, this is awesome!
Edit: My editor goofed and I had to reupload so I came to fix the link as well.
Part 2 as requested by popular demand!
Part 3, let's go!
Part 4 and I am loving this!
I am so glad you are!! <3
Part 5 and you know this game is too good for words!
Part 6, was a blast recording this!
will there be a continuation of this game? hence the end of the true ending?
Characters in this game are going to reappear as major characters in other projects, but no direct sequel is planned for this game. Thank you!! <3
i think there is a discord server of Cemetery Mary, but i can't find it:C
Love love LOVE everything about this game; it had me hooked on every choice, twist and ending and I couldn't get enough of the characters.

This game was absoloutely amaing, I cant wait to see more from you
Magnificent
this game... is a pure piece of magnificence. the endings have me literally sobbing... i cant explain how much of a roller coaster this game is
This was an amazing game. The characters had me invested, the story is just phenomenal, and to wrap it all up, the art style is amazing. I've only gotten through Crowven's ending but I will definitly being going through Reginal's as well, especially with his obscurity in the Crowven ending. Overall: 10/10, would recommend

i got the bad ending
Cool Fun Game
One word to describe it all : AMAZNG
Despite Reggie's warnings to not do so, I've looked into and decoded the inscriptions. [Spoilers Abound in link]
Part 1:
I finally got to this game!! I dedicated myself to recording every game you made. I just love your stuff!! I already played It's not me it's my basement, Crowscare, Tricks n Treat!!

Another amazing venture into your quirky, charming world! Looking forward to "Blackout Hospital" too. Below is my personal favorite route and ending:
Thanks for making these wonderful games!Absolutely shocking amount of content for free, so it was well worth the $5 for the bonus art. Some of the plot elements confused me but I was engrossed the whole time and went through every route/ending.
i got the true ending after a couple of tries, i really adore this game!
am i going mental or is that crowven??
lol my dead name, haven't played it yet(don't have time/procrastination) but I definitely will play it very soon and pull an all nighter(IT LOOKS SUPER COOL TOO!!!<3)
Mary Anta
She looks like a manta ray (her horn hair, black outfit and white skin), and her name too. M(ary)anta.
Gotta say I love your OC. You've been investing a lot to her, I saw your art on DeviantArt. It's awesome! I love the work!
I never caught on! Now, I wonder about the others...
If you mean what animals they're based on ill tell you!
Mary-Manta Ray
Crowven-Crow
Twyla-Owl
Reginald-Pufferfish
Vasilis-Deer (I think)
Ah, thank you. The first few (Mary, Crowven, and Twyla) I figured out—though in Mary's case, only because someone pointed out the pun in her name. Given Reginald's surname, I can see Pufferfish (Tetra, as a play on "Tetrodotoxin"). Vasilis is still a mystery to me, even so. But that does nothing to diminish my appreciation!

is it most recent game? In what order should one play them?
Cemetery Mary was my first game! <3 Order doesn't matter for most of them, but the order I made them in was:
Cemetery Mary
Tricks N Treats
Holiday Shopping
It's Not Me, It's My Basement
Here For Sweethearts(Continuously updating)
Crowscare
Thanks! Actualy i've already played almost all of them in wrong order, so appearance of Mary, Sunny and... "Unicorn guy" in "tricks and treats" was quite a spoiler:)) But now i won't let other people(whom i recommend your wonderful games) make the same mistake(n_n)

tip for everyone: don't forget to save like I did
have fun!
I'm so glad you like it!! <3 There's good end guides in the devlogs if you ever get stuck, too! :')
thank you! I'll use them indeed (:
holy shit- this is amazing. this is a good game.
