Aww, thank you!! That means a lot. :) Glad you're enjoying the games!
I wish there was a way to romance him 👅

Thanks for playing! <3
Thank you so muchhh
always a great experience from these guys. always delivering
Thank you! <3 <3 <3
Holy mother of pearl… the hear me out on this man is gonna be kinda crazy :>
Heh heh... <3
can we get freaky with him
Real
while playing this i was like 'why was this so short?? i got an ending so fast'- so when i pressed continue/play again to try and get a new ending and i saw that instead of what he was saying before he said something different and said my name i was like "THINGS ARE DIFFERENT?? THINGS ARE DIFFERENT- WHATS GOING ON I THOUGHT THE GAME ENDED'
LOL yeah the game has its surprises! <3
Honestly one of the best visual novels by far. It was short, but didn't leave me unsatisfied and it definitely has my brain working and theorizing. The person who did the voice acting did an awesome job. Definitely won't be forgetting the voice anytime soon.
Aww, thank you! I'm happy you liked it that much :) <3
he's beautiful and i have a feeling that he's more than just The Guide...very flirtatious~ anyways beautiful, unique game :3 love the voice acting and the art style!
Thank you so much! :) <3
he is so cute ToT
There's something about him...! <3
I like this game and the ploit twist was surprising but Iam curious about why he needed us..
he is a guide, i think he is also a devil in disgise. so i’d say that he wants to take our souls?
Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing. <3
SPOILER ALERT!
I liked the plot twist. Like, you'd not guess that he was the guide to the afterlife (or at least in my theory, he is) actually that easily and not think he's just a man who escaped psych ward.
I would genuinely like a sequel about his plans for the ending D, though. Since it kinda left us on a cliffhanger on why he needs us, in my opinion. Loved it, still.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it. :) If you want to learn more about the world and its characters, I can recommend Poetry in Purgatory, the main game which spawned this lil' side story! <3
I just started playing it now, it looks so cool!!! Love your games <333
I PLAYED THIS AND OMG IT WAS SO JAW DROPPING AND AMAZING. The artstyle is to DIE for and the story was fun!
Thank you so much! <3 <3 <3
Just finished act 1 in Poetry in Purgatory and couldn't wait for The Guide's route so I'm glad we have this to sate our needs at the moment lol (but please when is the next update?)
Glad to hear you're having fun with the games! :D <3
Version 0.3 of Poetry in Purgatory is planned for release later this year and it will be the biggest update yet (it will include Act 2 of the main story as well as two new routes and several side stories, along with new music, characters, BGs/CGs, achievements etc).
We're currently finishing up Ezrebeth (Definitive Edition) for its March release but after that it's right back to Poetry. :)
It's not a want, I NEED him.
He does have a certain quality, doesn't he...? <3
i want the guide carnally atp
i need to see him in a homosapian relationship NOW!!!!

There will be a Guide route in the main game (Poetry in Purgatory) in a future update... :)

The voice is so good and the art style in both the game and the menu is just *chef's kiss* I'm curious abt what he will do with the mc! (The Guide's attitude and sarcasm reminds me of Five from the Umbrella academy! (in a good way) Especially the way he sounds when he's pissed! )
Happy you liked it! :D <3 You'll find out more in Poetry in Purgatory! Heh heh...
