I want to address both the game itself and the situation regarding the 14-year-old girl and the developer's "friends". Full disclosure - I haven't actually played the game myself, as I had already watched a detailed review of it on YouTube before all this drama unfolded.
Let me start with the game itself - I absolutely loved the aesthetics and style they went for, everything has this genuinely creepy and unusual vibe to it. Many characters and animations are quite frightening and unsettling in the best possible way - they really nailed that aspect. However, when it comes to the dialogues, they feel a bit too simplistic, one-dimensional, and short for my taste. While the core idea is solid, I think both the script and dialogues could have used more development and polish. The game is also quite brief, taking only about half an hour to complete.
Speaking of the psychological impact - I didn't feel as emotionally affected as I expected to be. Even though the ending is quite sad, it somehow feels a bit underwhelming in its execution. And I should mention - I'm usually very emotionally receptive, often finding myself crying over real true-crime stories and touching films or animations. But this just didn't hit those same emotional notes for me. That said, for a debut project, it's actually quite impressive, and judging by the downloads and reviews, it's been quite successful commercially.
Oh, and I absolutely lost it at Mr. Red Face character xD - instantly reminded me of Yakubovich (he's this iconic Russian TV host from "Field of Wonders" - think Russian Wheel of Fortune but way more chaotic). The dude's face is literally just as red in real life XD! And speaking of Yakubovich - there's this hilarious story from 2027 wedding where his face got even redder after some pepper spray incident, but that's a story from the future lmao! Some say his face became the reddest thing in the known universe that day 😂
Now, regarding the situation itself. Let me be absolutely clear - I don't believe that at 22 years old, anyone should be building relationships or any kind of emotional/physical attachment with a 13-14 year old child. However, I also don't think the developer is a pedophile, groomer, or whatever else people are calling him, and I don't think he deserves all this hate. Here's why: according to the document that the developer himself shared (not his "friends"), there was no sexual context or subtext whatsoever. Yes, there might have been romantic feelings involved, but this speaks more to potential issues with socialization and communication, or perhaps a tendency to form strong attachments to people, rather than any predatory intentions.
And here's the kicker - I went through almost the exact same thing. I also communicated with a girl who was significantly younger than me (though she was older than 14), also got emotionally attached, and I too had these so-called "friends" (now ex-friends) who repeatedly set me up, turned others against me, manipulated and gaslighted me. By the end of last year, I learned two important things: first - you need to cut off toxic friendships and learn to maintain your boundaries. Second - when you're an adult, you shouldn't pursue relationships with anyone under 18. People under 17 are generally emotionally unstable and their personalities aren't fully formed yet.
The girl and I eventually decided to remain friends, which I consider a very wise decision. I think you, developer, should have done the same with that 14-year-old girl - just stayed friends, not hoped for anything more, and instead looked for someone older, at least 17. As for the whole "vore" thing, it was probably just some local meme, and the developer's "friends" just cherry-picked the most "compromising" screenshots for their document to paint him in a bad light and set him up.
And let's be real here - being 22 doesn't automatically make you some fully-grown mature adult or a groomer. People develop differently; I mean, at 22 I was still basically acting like a teenager, and only now at 25 am I starting to feel somewhat mature. I really don't understand people who are aggressively condemning the author and painting him as some kind of monster - the guy was just talking to a girl, without any sexual undertones. Yes, he was wrong to want a romantic relationship, but it wasn't because he had any ill intentions - it was more about his own immaturity and desperate need for love.
It's actually wild how some people on TikTok are claiming that even 18 and 23 is pedophilia. That's complete nonsense in my opinion (16 and 23 is not okay, but 18 is legal adulthood), everyone matures differently. I'm 25, for example, but people often think I'm 18-19 based on both my looks and behavior (and personally, my ideal age range for dating right now is 19-24). Though of course, there are some genuinely bad people out there who love manipulating others and might actually be groomers. But that's more about character than age, which is why it's crucial to maintain critical thinking and consider all factors.
To the developer, I want to wish that you cleanse yourself of toxic surroundings, reassess your values, work through your traumas with a therapist, and don't lose motivation or get discouraged because of haters and backstabbers. Keep creating awesome projects. I think you've made decent money from the game, so you can afford to take care of yourself now. Take this as a learning experience and focus on personal growth. Remember, at the end of the day, it's not about what others say about you, but about becoming a better person and making better choices moving forward.
you are fucking retarted , there is no proof that he is a pedo, anyone can make a horror stories like this. Call a big film producer a rapist when he shows a girl got raped in a movie, that does not makes any sense does it ?
Good game too bad it's made by a pedo had a chance to be a good series but the dev decided to go and chat up a mild and now makes this game disgusting especially with it's theme
want to rape a 13 year old wtf all he did was flirt with a 13 year old girl (yes that was fuking wrong and he must admit his crime) but the one who accuse him a.k.a those discord mod is sending po*n to minor and chat s*x with them
Yes it does the guy groomed a 13 year old and the game is set around sensitive themes involving children for all we know he could off got off to the idea of making a child go through these things even though the game is good it should not be supported
Dude the game is awesome, no one is saying otherwise but we can't say the same about the dev...soo, yeah, everyone is RIGHT to be angry about it even if the game was good...the DEV is a PEDOOOOO, this is not something to be just brushed off cause the game is nice...
...There literally a PDF of his discord with him texting his 14 years old 'girlfriend' dude....I mean the context is clear in it, i mean he might be more for the grooming side... And yeah it can be framed and whatever but still until is show otherwise is HARD to defend him...
I don’t know if the author was inspired by my eyes deceive, but this project damnably reminds me of him. Yes, I finished the game back in October (150 days ago, as itch.io says), but I only got around to reviewing it recently, because there was a lot to do. But what can I say - this is definitely a damn good project. The plot twist of the ending really surprised me. For I expected anything, but not such a denouement. Before this, in fact, one could have guessed it even earlier, even when Ron first gets into the closet dimension, but in any case, the end in the form in which it is was surprising. Regarding the plot, I already mentioned the game above, which one it reminds me of. Both this and this project have similar dual plots with a top plot twist at the end and in both gamma (as well as game resolution) affects immersion. But in this project gamma is especially decisive, as for me.The dull, afterlife green colors still have their effect, which adds gloominess, like the rest of the environment. And only the Ron doll shows some glimmer of illusory hope in this. Well, if there are no lyrics, the game is not bad. It’s not the longest in terms of duration, but even so it reveals the plot completely. So I’ll wait for the second part, and thanks to the author for a wonderful project.
Its Been A while since a dark themed game moved me the last time was a game called My Eye Deceived and it was really good too, how you guys enjoyed the game too

this here…is a genuine comment.
True that
I tried out this game way back and glad i did it was pretty fun experience so good job on that!
I enjoyed this game very much, cant wait for the next one!
Is this the BEST Game of 2024? (Hint: YUP)
THE DEV IS NOT A PEDO
those are all false accusations.
DO NOT ACCUSE RANDOM CONTENT CREATORS OF RANDOM THINGS.
for all we could know, it was just framed.
Discord is a bullshit place and shouldn't prove anything.
also...
THE INTERNET IS A FUCKED UP PLACE
FOR ALL YOU KNOW THE NEXT PERSON YOU CHAT WITH ONLINE COULD BE AN 8-YEAR-OLD.
SO STOP TRYING TO RUIN THIS GUY'S LIFE.
People are just showing that Anh isn't a good person and shouldn't be on the internet when he is a pedo so how about you stop meatriding him
he literally admited that all of that discord messages WERE REAL
I have both google docs open rn Anh is 100% guilty stop trying to be like "Guys guys he didn't do anything wrong!" There is proof a lot of i
more importantly you believing Anh after it was shown that he tried to pin the blame on someone who is a minor making it sound like he isn't in the wrong is disgusting I suggest you go look at the google docs in fact here they are https://drive.google.com/file/d/13m2kF0wLib9xvvV2cqOxPTyvhhgNxjOw/view
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vT5CuvEurnGVCm12AW5LzXfCnPnxX8hyrThG6NkYGsgV-JjDsZRGGmwKWnIOh48E2nS12sp0pXSQjVe/pub
There's your proof
exactly
everything makes so much sense now,, but i still want to play bad parenting 2 tho,, kkk even th game name its so fckd up
Imagine if that online convo between a minor and adult happened in real life. Would you be okay seeing something like that?
I Swear to god if people keep commenting ''the craters gam hav non tu doo wiht raping a chidl'' shut the fuck up
Creator is a pedo just so you know
Shut the fuck up you don't even have proof it's been fucking framed. You little kid shouldn't believe everything.
you are fucking retarted , there is no proof that he is a pedo, anyone can make a horror stories like this. Call a big film producer a rapist when he shows a girl got raped in a movie, that does not makes any sense does it ?

惊人反转
The most unity PS2 styled horror game I have ever seen in my life, made by a fucking chill guy fan.
Also why the fuck is the game in Mono rather than IL2CPP?

CALL THE CREATOR A PEDOPHILE

Wow really emotional
this guy is a pedophile you know?
10/90000000000000 nice
uh wut happened
Ts wasn't a game it was a premoniton
Hey! so dating a kid is actually illegal for your age lolz <3
Correct me if I'm wrong but dating a CHILD as an ADULT, that's a bad thing to do Mr. Parenting
This game was genuinely interesting, I didn't realize how well connected it was until the end.
THE BEST SHORT GAME IVE PLAYED! I cant wait for Ep2
I played it before it went viral and was not disappointed.

Its Been A while since a dark themed game moved me the last time was a game called My Eye Deceived and it was really good too, how you guys enjoyed the game too
More sad and dark than scary
