Thanks so much for making this game ArcadeKitten, it surprised me the level of detail you put in this game... did you draw all the characters?? Amazing! Such a deep story for such a cute style game. This horror RPG was fantastic, it´s been a while since I played a twisty little RPG with this kind of ending, truly unexpected. I loved the art and Embry´s personality, super cute. I hope you make more games in the future!
The game was fun! There are a few minor things. When it comes to the stairway, it doesn't work properly. If you try to go back up for example you clip outside the map and you can walk in the black area. Besides that, my thoughts.. I liked it, although I am kind of confused about the ending. Maybe that's the whole point, that it is up for speculation, but I didn't understand what to get from the ending. But I liked the character, not only the art (and the name which I never heard before), but also because of the empathy I felt for the character. It's a cute, lovely game that I wish was longer, but also with more things to do. I hope your next game (or maybe even an extended version of this game or a sequel) will be just as fun!
I really love the look and feel of the game as well! Well done and I can't wait to see more of you!
Best game ever. And the first game i managed to play in a PC! And Embry is the cutest character i ever see!! And i don't know why but i ship Embry and Monster Embry SO HARD... I know im wierd.
Wonderful game. It gave me some chills I haven't gotten from any horror games in a good while! I notice Windows Defender seems to be throwing an antivirus flag on the download for it since the patch, however. It's likely a false positive but it might be a good idea to take a quick gander at that.
I think the ending is good like this because then people can make their own theories. They wanna theorize Dr. D. Light is still alive? They can. They wanna theorize the monster isn't real? They can. They wanna picture the monster to be a demon? They can. It's perfect for fan interaction.
its was really fun! but although, after the game ended, i was still curious on whats inside the other rooms..i hope there"s a part 2 cuz it was really fun:)
Really loved it! The story is quite interesting, and engimatic at times. I'm still trying to make out what exactly happened there at the end for myself, because honestly, it could be anything, but I imagine it's something metaphorical.
Either way, I loved the characters, Embry is a precious lil' cinnamon bun and Dr. D. Light is just the best in every way. Despite it being so short, the story still manages to be engaging all the way through. The art, the music, it's all so charming, it fits like a glove! Thanks for this awesome experience. I'll definitely be checking out your other stuff.
Well, I'd like to think about a "less" tragedy explanation. Read it if like, I'll make it short.
Her parent died, maybe from an accident or something. But Embry didn't want to accept it, as she said "I didn't see them die". The monster is just her depression, her trauma that she thought she could keep it down by feeding it. It is like how we delay and deny moving on. She also said that all doctors couldn't help her, this is just like how depressed people like to keep it for themself. Another thing, I think Dr.Light did not die (I don't want it to happen!), he just fell onto the sandwich that she has been making with jam and unconscious. In the end, she chooses to face it and go down the basement
Arcade kitten i would like to if you let me know how to install this on a chromebook with linux i just click the file Game and i just installs over and over obviusly there is another file of game but its .exe ;-; i would like if you let me know how to install this on a chromebook ;-;
I absolutely loved this game I completely forgot about the time, anyways Im probably too dumb to figure out the true meaning of the monsters in the basement. Anyways thank you so much for making this great game.
I got this game on my laptop, and it was very creepy and cute! I loved all the characters :] I’ve watched people get the usual ending but then i got the ending for when i skip all the nights. That was scary like oml- but this game is perfect! 100/10
Hello! Thank you for your concern. I would like to be able to translate the game into different languages to be more accessible to others, but that would mean having to hire a translator. I'm not against hiring translators, but I currently do not make a lot of money off these games and I worry I may not be able to afford one. Should I be able to make a comfortable amount off my art and games, I would love to hire translators in the future! But as it stands right now I can only make games in English, as it is the only language I understand. Thank you for understanding!
What a delight! No pun intended Dr. :) The story of Embry feeding her basement.. The idea is clear on what is happening but to each their own interpretation after enjoying this game! Thank you arcadekitten
Check out my vid here (likes and subs are highly appreciated!!)):
Advantages:
1. The story is mystical and interesting. It has some Fran Bow vibes in a sense that it makes you wonder whether the thing that's happening is really happening or it's all in her head kind of story. Very cool! I especially liked the open ending)
2. The art style is very cool! I absolutely loved how you can say that the girl is paranoid by looking at her. The little details in the background that hint at the story are also a very nice touch! I loved that!
3. The pacing is great! I feel like even though the game starts pretty slow but it has some mystery to it right off the bat and it hooks the player. Very cool!
Disadvantages:
1. I'd like to see more horror elements. The game spooked me only once and then reused the same trick over and over. It added to the ambiance a bit but overall I feel like there should have been something different. I mean the whole game it's been so smart at creating tension and predicting players' questions and then a lot of kind of cheap lil spooks. I just know you can do so much better at the whole basement part!
2. Lack of background music. That's a huge one. Just put non-intrusive creepy background music that's kind of always at the back of your mind but not really noticeable. I had to pick one track myself and I think the game benefited a lot from that but I'm (obviously) biased!
Overall:
That was amazing! I absolutely loved the game! I rate it 5 paranoid girls / 5! Yet, I'm sure you could still polish the game a bit more to make it perfect.
Hey! I honestly really loved this game. It was fun to play, I just wish there were more endings and it was a bit longer haha. I drew some fanart for the game with Embry going to the marketplace, I hope you like it! 💗
Hello! just wanted to say that I made a video about the incredible story of this game, it was still in my mind after a while so I decided to share some ideas about the story, hope you like it!
No offense but I dont think we should be comparing Embry, an original concept and character, to Nagito Komaeda or Kokichi Ouma. While I too can see the resemblance, it's a little annoying (personally, since I don't talk for the creator) to see a unique character like Embry get compared to characters like Nagito or Kokichi.
Keep in mind I love Nagito, Kokichi and Embry, it's just my personal opinion.
They/them is not a real thing. Non-binary is an identity, which means non-binary people have actual genders. They just don't accept them. This goes for all identities, really. There are only 2 genders, but some people want to be special, so they invented their own.
This is why we've had to move on to calling it "sex", rather than "gender". Because gender has now become an identity you can create at your own discretion, while sex is their actual scientific gender, outside of the fantasy realm.
Please don't correct people with made-up science from a minority of insane people. You might as well correct someone and tell them that the earth is actually flat. Sure, there are people who believe it. But that's what separates us from the... "dumb-dumbs". (Trying to be nice here)
Similar to what you said. I'm not aiming to be harsh. Or put you on the spot. I'm sure you've been fed those lies on a daily basis, so you don't know any better.
Either way. Since you agree that the main character is non-binary, then the character can be of either sex.
If you think she looks like a girl, then she's a girl.
If you think he looks like a boy, then he's a boy.
I'm sure my comment will be downvoted to oblivion if not just outright removed. Because, well, the truth is unacceptable these days. It's all about inclusivity and nice words. The imaginary world takes precedence over reality.
Literally some itch.io devs out there are non-binary while accepting their LGBT friends for their appearance.
Just shit on creator saying "hUrR tHeRe ArE oNlY 2 gEnDeRs DuRr StOp MaKiNg NoN bInArY cHaRaCtEr BeCaUsE tHeY'rE mAdE uP bY iNsAnE sCiEnCe DuRr" when the creator literally said that Embry is canonically they/them and go.
You DO realize that there are people who are born with no or both genders, right? It's rare but it is real so they/them is real. Look it up, these people exist.
Your statement is fictitious. There is no instance of intersexuality in the real world. But labeling genital-birth -defect afflicted as non-binary is instead very offensive for non-binaries and for them, since you're just assuming they have gender dysphoria over it and implying that non-binary identifiers MUST have genital defects. A child has no concept of sex. They can't identify as gay and therefore anything since they are realistically not ready for sex unless you're a pedo.
If the creator of this game really intended for the character to be non-binary, they should have made them with characteristics of both genders.
My statement is actually not fictitious, it seems you haven't looked it up. It isn't that common to see those people because their parents usually choose their genders but it is a real thing
Bump but you know that some EDM producers such as MUST DIE! is non binary as seen on their Twitter bio. To add insult an injury, you must be invalidating gay asexuals because you seem to believe that being an unproblematic asexual means pedo right?
Just say Yves Tumor, the experimental music god, is male because "hUrR tHeRe ArE oNlY tWo GeNdErS dUrR" and go.
Btw, there are minors who are in same sex relationship at their same age, especially asexual kids, as long as no sexual stuff. Plus, intersex people exist. Just downvote me all you want for speaking the truth because fuck you.

Really good game, everything I thought I knew was a lie. Good gameplay and good storyline. I will link my reaction below.

good game great story but you can clip trought the stairs and walk around in the darkness of the game. cool game

[how many "and" did i use in this comment?]
I hope you can actually see this
I like the game a lot I hope the story continues
spoilers: by how they spoke to them I'm sure there's more to the story than meets the eye I really want to see more of this game.
Wonderful game. It gave me some chills I haven't gotten from any horror games in a good while! I notice Windows Defender seems to be throwing an antivirus flag on the download for it since the patch, however. It's likely a false positive but it might be a good idea to take a quick gander at that.
I love how the game is playing out and I'm hooked in the first half of the game!
I love this game and I look forward to playing arcadekitten's other games too!!! I bet they're great.
I really want a spinoff about Dr. D. Light, he's too great to not have one-
I think the ending is good like this because then people can make their own theories. They wanna theorize Dr. D. Light is still alive? They can. They wanna theorize the monster isn't real? They can. They wanna picture the monster to be a demon? They can. It's perfect for fan interaction.
Hi, I would be truly interested in translating INMIMB into Spanish, free of charge. I'll be more than glad to work with you! ^^
I leave you my e-mail for further information or details. d.patch@hotmail.es
its was really fun! but although, after the game ended, i was still curious on whats inside the other rooms..i hope there"s a part 2 cuz it was really fun:)
I love the art style and had a great story
Would recommend
Wonderful game. storyline is not too complicated, and almost all characters have unique personalities. 10 out of 10.
me too
Same here LOL
Great game. Love all of it. I would love to see more from Embry and Dr Light maybe in a different game.
Ikr! I can't get enough of these characters, they're awesome.
ive heard about game named along the lines of trick and treat made by this creator with embry in an AU??? im not too sure.
Really loved it! The story is quite interesting, and engimatic at times. I'm still trying to make out what exactly happened there at the end for myself, because honestly, it could be anything, but I imagine it's something metaphorical.
Either way, I loved the characters, Embry is a precious lil' cinnamon bun and Dr. D. Light is just the best in every way. Despite it being so short, the story still manages to be engaging all the way through. The art, the music, it's all so charming, it fits like a glove! Thanks for this awesome experience. I'll definitely be checking out your other stuff.
Well, I'd like to think about a "less" tragedy explanation. Read it if like, I'll make it short.

Pretty good interpretation, makes sense for her character if you ask me. Poor Embry :c
might be bored might be great idk ima just click download.
So how was it
Great.
Arcade kitten i would like to if you let me know how to install this on a chromebook with linux i just click the file Game and i just installs over and over obviusly there is another file of game but its .exe ;-; i would like if you let me know how to install this on a chromebook ;-;

I absolutely loved this game I completely forgot about the time, anyways Im probably too dumb to figure out the true meaning of the monsters in the basement. Anyways thank you so much for making this great game.
I wish it was longer or part 2. The game was really good and cute
I love the story! I wish it was longer orrrrr a part 2!
I got this game on my laptop, and it was very creepy and cute! I loved all the characters :] I’ve watched people get the usual ending but then i got the ending for when i skip all the nights. That was scary like oml- but this game is perfect! 100/10
hey, don't you plan on translating the game into different languages? like spanish
Hello! Thank you for your concern. I would like to be able to translate the game into different languages to be more accessible to others, but that would mean having to hire a translator. I'm not against hiring translators, but I currently do not make a lot of money off these games and I worry I may not be able to afford one.

Wow, I was going to ask this now. So, can I translate your game into brazilian portuguese? I would be happy if you gave me permission :D
We can talk better in wiidonotsow@gmail.com

Yes, absolutely!
What a delight! No pun intended Dr. :) The story of Embry feeding her basement.. The idea is clear on what is happening but to each their own interpretation after enjoying this game! Thank you arcadekitten
Here's my playthrough for ALL to explore, Enjoy!
Pros and cons are down below)

Make another ending pls, i really love the game!
Hey! I honestly really loved this game. It was fun to play, I just wish there were more endings and it was a bit longer haha. I drew some fanart for the game with Embry going to the marketplace, I hope you like it! 💗
Oh my WOW!! This is SPECTACULAR! I positively love this style, this looks awesome, thank you so much!<3
You're welcome!! I'm super glad to hear you like it! <3 <3
Ooh :00 its so PRETTY! :3
Hello! just wanted to say that I made a video about the incredible story of this game, it was still in my mind after a while so I decided to share some ideas about the story, hope you like it!
Creepier than expected and very enjoyable!
pleasee make another partt
Pretty creepy, i like the art style
No offense but I dont think we should be comparing Embry, an original concept and character, to Nagito Komaeda or Kokichi Ouma.

Bujiumike
the game is amazing keep the good work and make more games like this
It was a good game. the end was very good. kinda sad that it didn't show what happened to her when she went in but, overall it was a good one.
they/them. embry is canonically non binary

i found a glitch on the game lol
how did that even happen lol
