Watched a playthrough of this on MrClockWork's YouTube channel, stopped it halfway through, downloaded the game, got the second ending, then went back and watched the other endings on his channel.
I'm really enjoying the story and I really like the world that the dev is making with these aquatic-human people. My dumb dumb self didn't know squid also had the ability to camouflage. I thought that was just an octopus thing, but you learn something new every day, haha! I will say, the story is a bit fast-paced, but that's not exactly a bad thing. Visual novels and text-based media in general can have a habit of over-describing details I don't care about. Fine for some stories, not so much for others. That would be my only "critique" if you could call it that. Maybe I hope that the final games have something marking the NSFW selections because while I enjoyed the scene where the MC sat in Thaumo's lap, it did take me off guard despite the warning at the beginning. It's not super necessary, though.
So far, I'm really digging Thaumo. Nalis is hot, but he's scaring me! no matter how counter-intuitive that is considering what the other male has done, lol. Though, I can definitely see him hitting a sweet spot for a certain type of person. That's probably my favorite aspect of this game. I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say I've been wanting to see two yanderes fight for love. The drama is going to go crazy. I also like that they're on different sides of the yandere spectrum, Thaumo being more passive and refusing to hurt you, while Nalis is more domineering and very much interested in hurting you, despite the initial personalities implying those aspects of their character are the opposite.
I really enjoyed this game and I'm excited for the full game and the female lovers.
I really appreciate your comment!! I tend to prefer fast-paced stories personally, but marking choices that lead to more NSFW options is a good idea & I’d like to add something for that in my next update. Focusing on the differences between Nalis & Thaumo as yanderes has been one of the most fun parts for me, so I’m really glad you enjoyed that too!! Thank you for your support, & I’ll work hard to make the full game enjoyable ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
I have to admit: Your story has taken hold of my mind and heart and it won't let it go. I rarely find myself replaying games, let alone visual novels, but I couldn't stop myself from playing yours over and over again. I'm eager to see more of the mystery and intrigue you have brewing here - The whole ocean motif is so eerie and interesing... The little comedy touch is also so charming! Let me thank you for blessing us with a submissive and pathetic yandere. He is simply so ridiculous and I love him. Nalis was a pleasant surprise to me - I'm never fond of yanderes such as him, but he is so incredibly charismatic and fun! I'm a big fan of the character arcs you are using here and their dynamics with each other and your art style is really delicate and cute.
Incredible work, Strawberry! Will be awaiting anxiously for more from you.
You have no idea how much this comment means to me (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)💕💕💕💕
I’m so glad you enjoyed this!! There not being enough pathetic, submissive, loser yandere in the world was one of my motivations for making this lol. Thank you so much for your comment & support! I’m excited to keep working at improving & adding to this story!
OMG. THIS WAS SOOO GOOD! REALLY! I'm literally obsessed with everything about this game. The story is so intriguing and all of this mystery makes me even more curious to see more of it. The artstyle is also very charming and cute! And the characters? God, I'm already so obsessed with Nalis it's embarassing. I want him to keep calling me a good girl.....
Anyway. Thank you so much for your hard work, I had a lot of fun with this demo. I can't wait for the future updates, I'm sooo excited :)
I’m so happy that you enjoyed my demo!! Your comment made me smile a lot. Don’t worry, Nalis will absolutely be calling you a good girl more in the future!
Right now I’m working on improving & fixing up a couple things for the demo while writing and planning for future scenes. It means a lot to me that you’re excited for it!
This was really fun! I loved the twist in one of those endings! Oh and the animal trait thing was a rly cool concept for this! Best of luck on future updates! I'll definitely check them out!
I’m so glad that you had fun with my demo! I never expected someone to stream it. Your video was really fun to watch, & your chat is chaotic in the best way!! I really appreciate your support!
THIS WAS SO GOOD yanderes essentially competing with each other isn't explored enough imo, and them having different motivations and behaviors really makes this stand out.
Thank you so much for taking an interest in my project!! It means a lot to me that you helped test it out then & stayed around for the more polished version to be published here. I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!! <3 <3
I really appreciate your comment & I’m so glad you enjoyed the demo!! The game will have more suggestive scenes, but I’m currently undecided on explicit nsfw scenes… If I do include explicit nsfw scenes I’ll add an extra warning for it & those scenes will be optional - you’ll still be able to get any ending without them.
yoooooo this is so good???? the lore abt star fish thingy is saur kewl too liek ur a freakin genius!!!!! nalis is hot, he's my oshi so farrr but liek i'm too soft for thaumo as well sooo..
It was such a fun play!! I immediately tried to go the bad route with both lol, and they didn't disappoint!! Also just a small thing but in the beginning when we get to look around I didn't realize we had to go on our phone to advance the story (but thanks to the guide I made it through!), this is just a small thing but thought I'd let you know!! All in all 10/100, excited for more of them all!!
I’m so glad that you had fun!! & thank you for letting me know - I appreciate it! I’m always eager to know how I can improve on things. I have two ideas for how I can help make that a little more clear/obvious, so I’ll make sure to include those in the next update!
This was so good it took me forever to relize that the characters have an ocean animal and i love it!! I need to see more of Thauma now. its easily one of my favorites :D
omg - what a fuckin ride- this is so gooodddd aaaaaaaaa - keep up the amazing work!! ( the whole world building and everything is sooo goood i cant wait to get more information about it)
thauma my beloved fucked up lil shit and neils my beloved big piece of shit hfjsdhfjs
Thank you so much, this means a lot to me!! I’ve had a lot of fun making this so I’ll keep working hard ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
(also I love when people bully my characters lmao 💕💕) (I do it with most of my favorites so it makes me unreasonably happy to see someone calling them that)
One of the BEST Yandere demo ever!! The characters are so interesting and I love how there's also the mystery with the deaths in the news. Also how they are part sea creatures too?? That's freaking interesting, I don't want to spoil it here but I'm looking forward to how the abilities will be utilized XD
i'm in love??? this was so intriguing from beginning to end. the worldbuilding, characters, art, story, dialogue... i was utterly transfixed. thaumo and nalis are both so compelling and have such unique motivations, it was such a good time to watch the story unfold. a really, really pleasant surprise to find this gem, i'm excited to see more!! :D
I’m so glad that you enjoyed my demo!! Coming up with their motivations & how they’d justify their actions to themselves was really fun. Thank you for your comment, it’s super sweet and really means a lot to me!! I’m excited to create more ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
AHH STRAWBERRY THIS WAS AMAZING!! i remember playing the rough demo and it was great, and this is even more incredible!! your art is gorgeous and you did so well on the graphics, especially for your first game!! <3 (as you already know) thaumo is my fav-- i cant wait to see more of him (and draw him more eheheheheheh)
EDEN!! I’m so, SO happy that you enjoyed this!! Your support means so much to me. I love seeing any art from you, but especially when it’s Thaumo I get so excited & it completely makes my week <3 <3
i can't BELIEVE this is your first project!!?? its literally SO GOOD i'm obsessed!! i cant wait to learn more about the plot and the characters! thank you so much for making this <3 <3<3
You have no idea how happy I am to hear this!! I’m so glad it sounds like you had fun with the demo. Thank you for your interest, and I’ll keep working hard!! <3

OMG I LOVE IT
que quede loco con los finales amix AHHHHHHHH (I'm sorry if you don't understand, but I needed to express it this way because I really loved it.)
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!!
THIS WAS SO GOOD yanderes essentially competing with each other isn't explored enough imo, and them having different motivations and behaviors really makes this stand out.
I’m so happy that you thought it was good!! Those were some of my absolute favorite parts to write, so I’m really glad you enjoyed it
I played the demo when there weren't even any background yet, I'm very happy that you've already released it here! I really liked it a lot! <3
Thank you so much for taking an interest in my project!! It means a lot to me that you helped test it out then & stayed around for the more polished version to be published here. I’m so happy that you enjoyed it!! <3 <3

1. what is the associated animal of the mc?
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed the story & both of my awful guys!! (≧∇≦)
The mc is not a sea star. Other than that it’s vague on purpose so it’s up to the player!
ohhh ty !!!
