Hellooo good day! Or I guess maybe night for u, its me again, I hope it doesnt bother u I keep doing this questions, I finished basically after waking up arc 2 and JESUS u know to mash my heart into pudding I was so happy the whole route till the town connecting even more with the representations panic attacks and those beautyful moments of them holding hands or the silly talk when they run, I was full on hyperventilating with the gidget scene, the panic was so realistic and the soft scenes after where heart warnings, how Genzou is so gentle and protective, Iggy is such a good representation of the post trauma of a sexual attack, I was full on crying at the kissing scene it was so beautyful and soft so protective so understanding, idk if you planned It like this or Im overreading but when Genzou says, u arent Broken It just resonated with me so hard; felt like it was also a message to the player and It promply make me cry more, I really needed to hear, that its so impactfull to me as someone in the aro spec and figuring out if im on the ace, It was so beautyful seeing Iggy saying Im OK . I was then promply massacrered by the torture scene, like look like a Vietnam veteran petting my dog to calm down and not being able to sleep right and today finishing off and crying again it was so haunting and beautyful, It overrall make cry, silly laugh, terrified, angry, and utterly haunted, u know how to make a history , again thank you for giving me a tru representation where I can see myself. Oh Im also at the Castle again in arc will make its on question of it doesnt bother u, srry for the long question, take care ✨

i never mind hearing thoughts from people as they play through the game. in fact, it always brings me a lot of joy 💕 i feel like in particular with OW, the vibes are so different between each arc and new things revealed, etc., that it tends to cause a lot of changing reactions all throughout the game hahaha, so it's always very interesting to me...

i'm so happy you're still connecting so strongly with it and that you enjoyed arc 2... arc 2 is a very special arc to me in particular and contains multiple scenes based directly on a lot of my own thoughts, struggles, and cathartic wishes. i'm really so touched that it could resonate so much with you ;--; 💕

thank you so much for letting me know your thoughts, it really means so much, especially right now. i hope that you'll continue to enjoy the game through all its different turns

[just-a-carrot]

Hiiiiii,its me again B3, hope you are doing well, so as of now I reached the cabin arc 5 its been such a blast I have so many thoughts that ill share when I finish it, Im sorry because that one its gonna be a LONG one.

But I also was writing cause I played T2A2G the same day I played OFW but I kinda.... forgot to do its own thoughts It (was too caught up in spooky sick music and vibe hitting friendship)

So I just played it again to get like the freshes memory possible y'know? And honestl?, It was a really cute, sweet, short side game and pretty realistic tbh.

I really like that theres like 2 sides of the same coin when they test like Iggy text too little sometimes and Genzou starts sending more messages when he gets a bit nervous, because Im literally them like is funny how every time I just feel more represented in Iggy and the rest of the characters. Man Ill never forget this games.

The start was so funny and silly just Genzou spaming a dozen of times Iggs just to say hi to a tired Iggy was snicker inducing I imagine Genzou repeating in the phone like a baby bird till Iggy answered, also the first time I played I chose the "I just wanna hear ur sooting voice" I thought I was being funny :c but iggy got pissed, tho I really like that when u say nothing they just talk normaly and Genzou encorages him in the funniest way possible

The next day is really cute I really like that Genzou just puts on blank text but I remembered I screwed Up the first time I THOUGHT I NEVER SEE YOU WAS A JOKE WITH HIM BEING BLIND not a mean coment I thought it was like "cause I cant phisicaly see you silly", but anyways beside THAT, is a nice that Genzou wants to know how Iggy is feeling cause say whatever about the man but he CARES also is kinda sad that Iggy really didnt expect It like he's just so consumed by work that he doesnt really maintain in touch that much or expects other people to do the same, is a really good not on your face example about what OW portraits, its endearing how Genzou hypes him up tru support, the emoji bit is so nice the little portable Genzou is so cute I orginally chose the heart and I found It really funny how Genzou tries to pass it as misstyping then Iggy is like "but u use text to speech" and just I imaging Genzou red as a tomatoe "U-um misspelled" is a great subtle way to show his fear of rejection, but yeah the 83 is so cute, ( l83, (I was trying to give him a beanie)

The third chat hits pretty close to home in my case because for one part I completely understand why It can be seen as something sad because like a special day and u arent celebrating? But like I can get Iggy honestly I just prefer in recent years to have quiet chill days instead of really partying out, not that Im a party guy in general, I like that this isnt portrayed as something bad perse is just really different from the norm but I must admit I was with Genzou at the lack of cake jsjs, is really nice of him to offer up fun together on maybe(?) date but not pushing It.

At first I was pretty mad that Iggy didnt text Genzou the whole day of his birthday I was like who would do that? Then I saw my reflection on the screen and was like 😔 yeah that something that could definetly happen to me like sometimes is hard for me to remember specific things or just get distracted, but man was it funny the I FORGOT UR BIRTHDAY, THE BIRTH, THE DAY, THE DAY OF UR BIRTH, It just caught me so off guard so bad I chuckled I imagine him barely grabbing the phone while typing Genzou's response was smooth tbh I really like the bit where he cant understand the flusthered face emoji and Iggy saying dont worry about, I love my queer babies, and the ending repeating it later to Genzou's exasperation that was my brand of endearing silliness

Now the juicy part, Genzou's my poor man had to be sweating BULLETS trying to both subtly flirts Iggs AND calculate his posibilities ( I like them tall ;), was WILD) I really felt proud of him just letting the question out albeit in a subtle manor, I wonder if he was sober(?) I also like the dont avoid the question, I imagine putting on a really intense for 2.5 seconds because hes anxiety hits in, I also like how to posterior conversation of Iggy never dating and pulling away of crushes thanks to the fear of expectation and internalized acephobia, leads on the coment Genzou makes in arc 2 about how he thinks he has always known, also can we talk about how Genzou is such a good friend, always supportive never pushy

Now for the final chat man that was a good moment, just gonna say THAT was the literal conversation I had with one of my besties after arc 4 when I had to just leave it thanks to the worst anxiety attack ever, It was so nice seeing this soft talk between best friends just trying to be supportive to each other no pushing no judging, just listening in my case I remember my friend was trying to distract me with wallets he had made but I was so overwhelmed so we talked It was nice

Now the final scene JUST OOZES COZY Iggy with his jacket and scarf is so cute and cuddly he looks like the poster boy for cozy season is so nice of him to wanna spent time with Genzou tho realistic how he ended up going after he was closing thanks to losing track of time, the song is so happy tooo , asaaasfgfuh I love It🖤, he blushing a little, the DO IT YOU COWARD monologue Genzou must have in his mind before asking him to dinner, its so hearth melting the fact they want to catch up/have time together

Jsjs Genzou's U ARE GONNA EAT WELL EVEN IF I HAD TO PULL IT OUT OF MY ASS is really smile inducing

Overrall a really cozy Christmas coded short and satisfactory side game, I really like It completely fed my gay love craving and is really relaxing, something I like about ur games is that the relationships are really realistic like I could see them happening in real life, and this doubles down on that is not only so catartic to play ur games as a queer person but also just a person getting tru life in general both thought and horrible moments but also really beautyful and fullfiling ones truly great balance in ur work.

I wouldnt say is as good as OFW but I really liked it, I also like how they are holding hands on the menu screen ( l<3 (this is supposed to be a cute face with a beanie not a dick o god-

oh that's so sweet that you played and enjoyed T2A2G 💕

T2A2G was such a special game to me in a lot of ways. It was my first O2A2 short game, so the first time I ever had to try and make a game under 1000 words and using only 1 sprite. It was my first time figuring out how to do text messaging in general but also I worked really hard on figuring out how to do the animations and the waiting for the responses etc. I also worked on it during a very tumultuous few weeks of my life and it helped me get through it. also to this day it's still my most played game and has like 3-4x more plays than any of my other games 🤣 (I still remember how overwhelmed I got those first few days when it randomly took off)

oh also I guess probably OC would never have happened if I hadn't done T2A2G first as it was the fun I had working on it that made me want to do a much longer texting game

so overall it will always hold a special place in my heart even though it's just a small sweet little game. I'm really happy you enjoyed it so much. It was a lot of fun writing their silly convos and I remember getting really emotional the first time I played through to the end...

thank you for taking the time to give me all your thoughts on it, they really brought a smile to myself to read. and I loved hearing your reactions to all the little moments 💕

[just-a-carrot]

Yooo carrot been long since I dont sent my thoughts, well guess not that long but still, sooooo I just finished playing Where Theres a Will Theres a Way and let me preface this by saying, I dont know SHIT about Dragons Dogma 2 or 1, like NOTHING at ALL, well like I know theres this spynx, esfinge....sfinge??? The monter with a lady human head and cat body, well, ok its a lions body but you get it, and I think she has fathers? Am I remembering that right? Well enough with the beautyfully animated cat lady! So I know that she exist, that it looks gorgeous and like super realistic, and now I know there are beautyful glowing flowers :3, o well I also guess there are dragons in It? Idk why it surprised me I mean I guess is in the name but like I didnt really think about it? Jsjs my silliness aside lets get to It.

So the first thing I saw was the option menu, right? So Im like watching all this detail and Im like taking It in like "oh this wheel is beautyful- wait is that text, WHAT? IS CONTROLLER FRIENDLY???" But then I was like "naaaah to many controls.... But what if? Fuck it lets play and see" it wasnt 😔 sadly, but still you got me excited there carrot. Continuing on the menu since Im already here I was also watching at their profiles, they looks so cool dudeeeee, Im like re-watching know, dude, they are SO TINY I love them idk if it was on purpose but they are so cuteeeee, like at least on my case you forget how damm tall Iggy's in comparison to most of the group till you see him alongside the others, what are the white bars tho? My brain is trained to think is experience but idk, also is that the rat-tailess Orlam, the forbidden, the one foretold in prophecies, the destroyer, jsjs but seriously they look so cool, wish we could have seem my favorite traumatized bi boy tho 😔.

Now finally to the game itself, so being Gen took me by surprised ( I didnt read the description when I downloaded it, I downloaded the rest of your games on a rampage after finishing OW), but pleased, I love the main image, is so beautyful and dreamy, at first I tried like doing all the hand thingies wich was funny cause with the first joke, cause I imagine like Iggy trying to walk sneakily, only to waddle clumsily and hit his forehead on a tree or something, Orlam mentioned wich is always a plus jsjs, them shit get serious.

Iggs monologue really uh got to me, Ive been having a really shitty week so far like ive had chill moments but its been so overwhelming and ive had so much anxiety, ive been like so afraid of this coming year, of losing parts of myself, of not being good enough, so that "IM NOT.... Im not" fucking made me cry, I understand that pain so much It made me feel so seen, It just, feels good to cry It out man, and ive already cried but this was like a big good step on the right direction to calming myself and like I still feel a little of the pressure on my head as I write this but, at times its gone and It certainly feels lighter, thank you Carrot yet again for another amazing creation.

I love Iggy so much in general but Im this he's so like fairy tale book scenario idk how to say but he looks so magical like a soft cottom plum in this magical garden of starts, he's cute and silly but dazzling in his own way, I guess thats how Genzou sees him no matter the reality huh

Dude the kissing bit is so fucking potent like the text staying for a sec before filling with his anxiety, to try again to be hit with the fact that you arent doing anything yet to finally doing and getting the gay bliss jsjs " I was like EH EH EH... YESSSS" duty does not guide my heart nor my hand goes hard man Iggy's little red cheeks aaaaa, he's so cute, again idk anything about Dragons Dogma 2 so I dont know if its like a lore thingy, but in my reading, I love that his love, his passion and his determination or I guess desire for Iggy is so fucking powerfull It burns brigthly tru the most vulnerable parts of him, is SUCH good imaginery for pure passion, BURNING passion if you will. The dialogue for the true ending is so representive of Gen, at first masking and upholding the image is spected of him and hiding his emotions, to cracking a joke, to showing support, to actually showing his true emotion in a truly explosive and impulsive that its extremely passionate and endearing.

Is cute how Genzou tries to spin it due to his anxiety and IGNATIUS SMOOT ASS WILLIAM MAXWELL says "stay a bit longer" and absolutely tomatoes Gen I imagine, the dialogue after being like unsure of the future but utterly secured and loved

Overrall a really cute and amazing I cant help but want more of It and this universe I really want to learn more about it,experience more, see more moments, its so interesting, its really beautyful but so short, I really enjoyed it :3, keep up the good work carrot, the end image is so prettyyy 😭

Hope you are feeling good today

awwww!! thank you for playing wtaw and letting me know your thoughts! It's a very special game to me 💕

I had originally wanted to make a much larger DD2 game that involved a variety of stat management and such but I ultimately never went anywhere with it as it would have been way too much work (and let's face it, it wouldn't have had much audience); but I was glad at least to work on this small game for O2A2 last year to share some of my joy and love for this game and how much it's done for me

DD2 has such a beautiful story to me, especially with how many weird coincidental parallels it has with the themes of OW. and it doesn't help that I've pretty much developed it into an entire AU in my head. It also doesn't help how cute these little boogers are:

I'm glad you were able to enjoy and get so much out of the story despite not knowing anything about the game! I've also made some videos of them on my YT and of course my carrot plays DD2 tag is chock-full of screenshots and gifs if you want to see more of them

thank you for this sweet message! It was really nice hearing your thoughts about the game, especially as I hadn't thought about it in a little while 💕

(picture unrelated)

(what is wrong with them)

[just-a-carrot]

Hiiiiii Carrot so Ive been thinking about this for a while and like I remembered when I did my thoughts you said I lt was helping u throught a long while man Im still poppy to write certain words, sorry I was side tracking, so I decided to start sending my unfinished essay because writing hasnt come to me for a while but I would really like for you to see it, i Hope it makes this thought time better,heres the first part I wrote the exact day I finished:

I finished arc 5 an hour ago and I just cant think, so many thoughts, so many emotions I cant seem to order them appropietly I dont know why I feel so nervous I feel even more nervous than when I did my first thoughts as an ask, aint that a bitch, Im like REALLY feeling my heart tickle at my ribs or I guess my lumbs? Idk if its nervousnes or more like sadness, like uh a deep seated sorrow , a sorrow for this game that has made my heart beat in so many different ways, sad, terror, happiness, longing; given me so many memories, made my brows and mouth curl in so many shapes, Im saying goodbye to this beautyful bloody and sweet game and its equally beautyful and bloody and sweet characters. But its not really a sad sorrow more like happy one like yes my heart is heavy but is like is heavy because ive lived It ive passed tru so much everything going tru me in a beautyful gap that bleeds and lets me know Ive truly experiences it and loved it no other game has made me feel like this Ive cried or laughed before but never this feeling idk if I can ever describe with words but those are the closest to It possible.

As I said my thoughts were all over the place but just as Im writing this my heart feels ever so less achy Ill try to write from the begining to order my thoughts

The start was brutal, and assault on the senses not giving u time to think or decompress the information before Iggs remembers everything LIKE EVERY SINGLE THING all at once and then the glitchy ARC 5 just pops up already tone changing completely the assault on the senses portraits Iggy's feelings so well like the whole overwhelming and unmoving pain his sassy attitude at seeing Hunars call and clear resentment towards Bucks I really like that the fact that Iggs remembering everything is used tru out the entire arc, ill deal more in that later, I fucking love that his first thought was going to Genzou's that was like devastating in a beautyful manner how he remembers his face as he kissed, punch and killed him made not only made my hair curl up but sed a tear, LIKE MAN u dont just how my emotions where so up my skin this arc, IS FKING CRAZY BTW my brain is so traumatized by arc 4 that remembering that scene I just bloody cry but anyways

The scenes with Genzou where really dishearthening and endearing at the same time like seen him in such a bad shape is utterly dishearthening but It makes us be confronted with the prime message of the arc, breaking the cycle, this time WE need to be there for Genzou, hugging him, feeding him being that reassurance in the chaos, that beacon in the dark, every one of this moment thug at my heart but the one that made me blink a tear was when he asked Iggy to stay and they sleep on the same bed the next having that somewhat akward interaction and honestly thank you for the line of "why does this feels like a one night fling" because that made me chuckle It was well received after that specifically beautyful sadness, I also just really love all the cute interactions or like trying to ensure they are fine and like they hold hands (of course imma choose the gayest option, the fuck Am I? STRAIGTH????) and Im like fanboying so fucking hard at this point

Then the little doll segment happens I really like how Genzou is teasing and such but it gets cut Up by Hunars entrance wich by the way promply sucked the air out of my lungs like It had been so fucking long since I saw Hunar in game sprite it jumpscared me but his discourse brought tears at my eyes just that pure repentment and guilt in his words, the desperation, his wish to simply get his family back, I really like the helpless roll he takes as he mades Iggy promise to bring Bucks back kinda like a king ordering a Knight to get his princess tho I guess this is more of a prince asking for his princess back is just such a beautyful moment that made me sed a tear.

The walk Itself to Wonderland was curious I like how there isnt even try to say they dont know where they are going, they do and when they reach It they vibe subtly changes, no more sweet smell now putrid.

- the next paragraft is a note from present me

This would have been the 9 of august man it gives me chills remembering my feelings and they way my heart danced on my ribs I still feel them I will never fully stop feeling them this history resonates so much with me, fuck I writing the end of this thing even if its the last thing I do, have a great night Carrot 🖤, hydrate and dont lose ur hope because ur work connects with people like me

sorry it took a minute to answer this my mental energy is really volatile right now 💦

but I really enjoyed reading this as always!! I love so much getting to hear people's thoughts as they play through the game... 💕 arc 5 especially as so much changes and so many story arcs reach their climaxes. I'm really glad even the start of it could have left such an impression!! The whole scene in Genzou's apartment remains one of my favorites to this day. Not only is it very soft and heartbreaking to me but I love it as such a stark contrast to the start of all the other arcs

thank you for sending me your thoughts on it!! It always does bring a spot of warmth to my heart and it's such a joy for me to read 💕

[just-a-carrot]

y'know is kinda beautyfull that Genzou and Iggy are like ur muses, like these characters u've poured all these parts of u both ur struggles and blessings, give you back motivation to work and keep going on, its so beautyfull

;--; 💕

i think they are the reason that i am still alive LOL /hj

[just-a-carrot]

Im at the date part in mvbsls and "using his advantage in heigth to get a comanding angle that allows him prime tickling access to gens ribs" its the best silly thing ive read today, Iggy's so fucking adorable and you werent kidding about Genzou being hongry jsjsjsjs Im loving this silly queer adventure, seriously great job Carrot expect full on thoughts on it in the near future :3

hahaha I'm so glad you're enjoying it! 😂 That is one of my favorite parts too, it's so silly. And I think that CG for that scene might be my favorite of all the CGs so far, as it's just so so cute to me ahhhhh... 💕 Their faces are so sweet to me in that one

I hope you'll enjoy the rest!

[just-a-carrot]

Halloooo hope ur headaches are getting more manageable when u read this, so ive just finished arc 3 and WOW u keep finding ways to break my heart also really digging the vibe at the end-ish of the arc, but first things first, ORLAM the first time I saw him I was like "this man smells.... Hot" what can I say i like nerds and losers, then I developed a bit of anymosity towards him, kinda hard not to when hes the reason my favorite character dies or suffers, but not to much because Im really empatic with traumatized bi men so I was waiting to feed on his trauma.

And BOY THIS DELIVERED, I wasnt expecting poor child Orlam with a black eye that made me emotional like It reminded me so much of my childhood specially the way father just doesnt really breaks the comfort of genuely endearing and beautyful moment when he finds freedom of control, that made me ANGRY. Also u got all the animosity off of me with the first scene like that destroyed me the fact that he lives like poop and is so surprised ANYONE wants to spend time with him the fact that he doesnt like care for himself made me connect with a lot more and by the suicide explanation I was already on the verge of hugging my computer Idk how u made such a sadistic antagonist in one such a simpatetic figure in the other, god I would hug him so hard, I also wanted to german suplex the appartment lady f her leave my smelly boy alone .

Now I must I love everything about the castle the beautyful description of the scenary the chill opulescent vibe, BUT with different what I love the most is Orlam here specially at the ball scene idk know if u made in purpose but he just feels so Drácula like, like he feels so seductive, regal and dominant is so entrancing, I felt bewitched by every word of his, I was completely submisibe and inversed on It like reading a gothic horror romance novel I was fullfiling my every goth past fantasies I was so entranced I catched myself múltiple times just staring blushing at screen or just past the screen making my own fantasies as imagined myself in the ball and all the dancers and the glittering ceiling, and dont get me talking about the more sensual steps on the dance when he openly flirts with Iggy just description of the body movement and the "gaze deep, deep deep into each others eyes" I was like well shit I felt for a cannibal, but I snapped when I realized this are sexual advances on ace person who doesnt want any, but then was promply comforted when he stopped every time Iggy was visibly uncomfortable and asked if he would want a partner without sex, then love when he showed his room with the toys, my poor man is just a lil traumatized baby, and I love the fact that he not only gave Iggy a chill space but that beautyful and soft offer, and also HE DIDNT FORCE HIMSELF ON IGGY, he acknowledges he would love to have sex with him but knows Iggy doesnt want any, doesnt expect anything from Iggy, doesnt from force anything on Iggy, I was screaming TAKE SOME FKING NOTES GIDGET.

Now on to the bus scene that made me so fucking sad I that phrase of "everyone leaves, its something wrong with me?" Connected so much to me is just such a real feeling all the more hammered in my heart by Iggs not knowing what to say but knowing that he has to be there to comfort him, GOD my poor heart.

Then the breakfast scene I was like WHY DO MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS ALWAYS DIE IR SUFFER. But maaaaasn I got so much inspiration to draw from the scene of Iggy with the meat and Orlam hugging god I love a good corruption arc also I love the little snippets of their relationship It was really cute psichotic power couple, I was NOT expecting Orlam having a FOURSOME WHILE IGGY WAS PLAYING THO, that caught me completely off guard, tho the one with then sleeping embracing together is so private and cute, the ending was so agonizing and disturbing the deaths were so cruel for each character the suicide was so uncomfortable to watch I found myself skipping tru it.

I havent talk a lot about It but the first half was such a whiplash after all the soft love and affection , the promised or security the found of identity the pure peace felt for a moment and my sobbing the pure hearthfelt and direct crie to my identity, in general that safety and care, changed into a aggresive display of anger and uncomfortability It was kinda like listening to ur parents screaming and u just keep drawing to distract urself I felt like that the whole first part the figth in the boat was dishearthening and awfully sad to watch, but I like that every arc shows u for now the good parts both psychologically and morally of each character but also the bad ones so u can form a realistic opinion on this traumatized individuals

Overrall while I havent connected as soon or as much with this It has had a strong impact in me specially on the flashbacks that I strongly identify with in some aspects like the fear of abandonment or the lack of control growing up and in the second half I love all the gothic vibe ive gushed about like really LOVED It.

It has make emphatize a lot more with another character and see a bigger picture, It made uncomfortable, sad, distraugth, angry, happy, protective, strangely seducted, and determined.

Also love the image of Iggs scrubbing Orlam like a cat I just imaging Orlam tapping the floor happily like a in love cartoon bunny

oh i'm really happy that you enjoyed arc 3!

arc 3 is definitely the first major turning point i feel, just like a sudden swerve and stop after arc 2. so i'm always curious what people will think about it as they're playing through the game. i love arc 3 and especially what it does for the story and characters even if there are parts of arc 3 that make me personally uncomfortable and i don't particularly like replaying it that much

i'm glad that it could give you so many different emotions as well. hahaha yeah the ball scene definitely has a gothic feel to it. for some reason i'm obsessed with balls when it comes to stuff like this, even in some of my older writing i always loved including them even as part of dreams, etc. maybe it's because i love this song so much and have always wanted to create a scene that could live up to it:

so that's probably why OW includes so much dancing in general but especially balls. I just love writing and drawing dancing...

and yeah i knew from the start that i didn't want any of these characters to be "good" or "bad" every single one of them has aspects of both, and i wanted to show all their different sides. because that's what it means to be human. we all have our dark sides. we all have struggles, challenges. none of us are perfect. and i wanted these character to feel like that too.

at any rate, thank you so much again for letting me know all of your thoughts, i really enjoyed reading them, and i'm glad you're still enjoying the many twists and turns of the game 💕

i hope that you'll enjoy arc 4! i would say it's the darkest of all of the arcs so do take care of yourself

[just-a-carrot]

Hiiiiii so I just finished arc 4 and wow I have a lot of thoughts, so to start I must say this is possibly the arc where my thoughts are most complicate to express or the more contradictory, I was kinda thinking about a way of talking about it but it doesnt really come as naturally as the others so Im gonna divide it more than the other thoughts to express myself better.

So to start I must say yup u were right is one of the darker ones and It has definetly the one that has make the most uncomfortable and the one I wouldnt play again honestly I did not pay that much a attention to ur warning and It honestly fd me up like that was too much for me but at the same time It was the biggest hit of emotions so far like my heart wasnt even must this time, it was dust, so yeah this was kinda like THE route I would warn anyone that wants to play game about I can see why u specifically warned me before playing it 😅

Im better now no worries, ok so now on the positives I really like how this route focuses on the underlying relationships in the group and the kinda resentment they feel for each other that leads me to my favorite parts of arc wich where the flashbacks and moments with Genzou, the moments with Genzou specially because the previous arc was like so devoid of then on the first and here instead of being angry or hurtfull, they are like so soft but romantically melancolic is really cruel how he cant confess on the whole route despite Iggy knowing at the end, It was also really comforting, and thankfully so, when Iggy confessed to him that he was ace and Genzou was nothing but the giant emotional support Teddy bear he is purely comforting and protecting Iggy this whole route the moment in the bar is beautyful, he staying out of the room to guard it was a nice touch, I was honestly completely caught off guard by the moment they had on the bed, It was really cute trying unload their feelings not being the whole way there, and the BALL that was what Im talking the bit with the dance between then directly mimicking as Orlam puts it "dancing around each other" I just can feel that underlying hate OOF from the screen, but I really liked when Genzou and Iggy danced It felt like a needed moment of peace and soft fun with the everlying creep of the emotions spilling out, I bloody hated the confesion being again ruined by Gidget, but I must say the ball dance between Iggy and Gidget was certainly powerfull like I could feel the passion in the writing.

Oh almost forgot to mention the flashbacks, they were really uncomfortable scenes at times like the bathroom scene or like the crotch scene, but really like that this is somewhat the final piece for you to understand the group and their underlying resentmen for each other and trauma, like I really like that we can finally piece together what happened between Orlam and Genzou, like yeah being use to stop and erection from other guy and then get completely abandone will destroy u psicologically it was really shitty of Genzou to do that, I hope they can work it out in the finally. Now Im obligate to talk about Gidget and honestly, their history is pretty fking sad and like I can understand why people would emphatize with them, and I do, but only with the real world Gidget, like they are clearly a víctima of prejudice that forces its down their throat from a young age not letting them express in a more non-binary identity that they fell comfortable in, and were ridicule by It and censored everytime, to the point were the person they love the most ridicule them in a fit of rage pushing them to accept this horrible prison flesh neatly wrapped in silk that they call a body being the most traditionally feminine woman posible pretty, long hair, focus on fashion, is sad to see such a brilliant person with a real passion for coding and a ubique identity of their own being force into a mold they hate and actively ruin their life, because people around them kept coments that hammered their self esteem and fed on their insecurities

Now I was go on, on how despite that I still hate Wonderland Gidget, and like I do but I also kinda feel bad for hating them, like they didnt just become the ultimate version of this traditional prison of flesh It consume them from the inside like embracing this princess persona and now not being only a victim of the traditionalism but being and enforcer, abuser, and predator of it, literally trying force themself on Iggy every route threatening with correction rape in 2 this one being one of them SA him in almost every route and reacting violently in every single route to rejection and I get that the Wonderland corrupts people. Like the fear of abandonment and lack of control of Orlam twist into cannibalism cause in a twisted way people that he loves cant abandone him if they form part of him via eating them and being a dictatorial ruler makes It so he gets to make the rules and never not be in control I guess the him being really sexual is to cope with the fact he was always rejected and has sexual trauma now he will not be abandone just pleasure and control awaits to him. So I guess Gidget is the same but it manifest in the desire of a perfect traditional live by force and honestly I didnt know why I didnt hate Orlam as much as them at first i thought maybe it was because I relate to him more but I also related to the censoring of ur identity and the hating how ur life is going I can see the glimpses of the person she was and I honestly cant hate as much anymore is just they are all such characters but honestly right now wich is a opinion that may change in every moment, but I cant completely forgive or forget that shes a sexual abuser in every route

Overrall this arc made me understand everything better made a real concise on opinion on each and everyone of them and make honestly appreciate and like every character even if Im not ready to outright say I like Gidget yet because I honestly feel very conflicted about them, this has made overrall uncomfortable, tense, stressed, horrified, sad, charmed, entertained, utterly flabergasted and kinda like peacefull at some parts

Oh I completely forgot about Cecil, he is fine he's like It a black coffee turned to live on England he was kinda funny but I didnt feel attached to him so I didnt really react to his dead probably because I felt underwelmed by It after being REALLY feeling overwelmed by the previous scenes

Honestly writing this has shorted my emotions about the arc perfectly, I felt super conflicted and didnt like it and was like super uncomfortable by It, as you can see at the start, but as I wrote I kept finding more things I liked about it felt way better talking about it and understand now Gidget on a deeper, so I really like this dark final (so far, Im sure the finalie will have more) piece of connection of the characters like I really like It in introspestive It was so dark and it led to such deep emotional and psicological analysis not only of the characters that makes appreciate every last one of them and like them all in different levels and want to ad stickers of them to my computer but also about myself talking about this game in general has made feel better about myself and remember my emotions and express them better I cant wait to see u after the finale thank you for making my experience of a already personal, influencial, meaningfull , that I can connect so easily game all the more special, its being a truly wonderfull travel that Im going to remember forever, this has become one of my favorite games ever thank you truly for creating It I cant wait to get every ending and then play all ur other actual games and ur future one, please take care of urself and never stop creating

U are a inspiration 🖤

i'm glad that writing all this down has somehow helped you a bit it seems? at least in sorting out your thoughts and everything

this arc is definitely the worst when it comes to the sheer intensity of what happens, and also that so much happens, the hits kinda just keep comin', as they say, as it just goes tumbling towards the end. though arc 5 has more emotional scenes, i still think that arc 4 will always be the most intense, especially when it comes to deeply uncomfortable scenes

but yeah it's also the arc that really lays everything out on the table when it comes to digging into (most of) what's going on between them. the way arc 4 came together though will always be such a happy accident for me lol because so much of the structure, and the whole mirroring of after-prom in the ballroom scene, only formed as i was working on it. so despite many of the deeply unsettling scenes i have a hard time replaying, it remains one of my favorites from a thematic and structural point of view

at any rate, i'm sorry for the turmoil this arc gave you, but i'm relieved that by the end of everything you're feeling ok about it. and i really appreciate you taking the time to write up all your unfiltered thoughts. it truly means a lot to me 💕 i'm glad also that you're enjoying the characters and their stories and struggles so much. i really hope that you'll enjoy how everything wraps up by the end and the journeys they all take to reach there

thank you again 💕

Ok so I finished all the routes in Our Fantastic Wonderland a little over 2 hours ago and honestly

It was really fun and cute like I love the dnd setting how the characters talk to each other in such a casual way without hurting just overrall every moment with the crew breaking in and just talking interacting and poking fun at each other is so casual.

My favorite interactions are with difference the ones between Genzou and Orlam, like they are just funny I didnt get at all tired of all the dick jokes It was so fun seeing them at each other throats but in a healthy way, like they are talking sexually and iggy doesnt get it, or when Genzou calls him freckled balls Idk why I find so funny (I actually to check it it was posible cause I didnt know, It is) also is genuely cute the moment where Iggy thanks Orlam and he just shortcircuits for a moment

Ok now talking about the characters the story themselves I really the roles u chose like Iggy for example really fits as a cleric like hes such a well meaning person that falls short in some aspects so he becomes a pure support that cant really help in some situations, Genzou is like that person thats always there for u but also cant really exprés himself all that well, so a sell sword that is sturdy but somewhat silly and not that much of a thinker is really plus points because the compliment each other, I like Orlam as an assasin cause he comes off as a creepy guy the first time u see him and is a really creepy profesion but you also can see how he gets a more free and somewhat hedonistic life wich is something that the original character wants, Gent is literally the enbodiment of what they want to be It couldnt be a more fittin.

Also poor Hunar my boy just wants to make a narration

I really like how they meet each other too from literally stumbling upon a half dead man, to ex lovers want to beat each other its really neat to

I also really like that Iggy remembers beat of the other routes

Oh I also FUCKING LOVE the soundtrack is so spooky, pls do tell me the song of the figth with the tomatoes that shit SLAPS. And how u move a lot the sprites is really great way of expressing the scene without overworking urself

Ok now for the spoilery part

THE FUCK U MEAN IS CANON, IS IT A PREQUEL???? Is like a Wonderland connected to the bottle tru a wish that made It fantasy? But then why are they talking and interrupting like a role play? And Jerry was masqueraiding as Hunar luring then into a sense of security because they are already on the Wonderland but their conciousnes are being altered by him by make them believe 2 identities the them plsyers and characters, because he said "I did say there could be some throat slitting" but that something that Hunar says?? Or It was a wish create by the bottle creating like a pocket world in of itself?? I know is canon because Iggy does mention the bottle and not being there in a lot of time in the original but I cant wrap my head around it.

Oh and when the chat disappeared It was really spooky actually the beating Iggy took was brutal well more violent that I expected to see

Also really like all the final scenes of love they are good beautyful tragic final moment of promise and emotion , also they all just have so much BADASSERY coming out of the fire with the throat slith ready to kill for their ace bean

Specially Orlam theres something about a man with a change in the eyes and blood in his mouth thats unbelievably atractive , but I would lie if I said Genzou didnt match it like his blind eyes pointing ahead, sword bloody, fist clenched makes him look like he could choke slam a dragón

Overrall I really liked it, fun, spooky, a little creepy, confusing that mades my Gravity Falls trained brain theorize, really endearing and kinda cozy, and casual like in a really familiar hang out with ur friends kinda way.

Genuely a really fun, fast paced, entertaining and vibe hitting side game

Amazing job! 🖤

oh i'm so glad that you enjoyed OFW! 😊 i have a cool announcement about OFW coming soon actually...

OFW fits so well between Arcs 4 and 5 not only because that's when i made OFW so chronologically it fits the best there and also preludes a particularly character as well as a few scenes that take place in arc 5... but also because arc 4 is so dark and intense that it can be nice to have the little lighthearted OFW in-between there to help break things up hahaha (tbh needing that lighthearted break was part of the reason i decided to do it to begin with, and the fact that spooktober took place right then was why it all just aligned perfectly)

i'm glad that you had fun with it and the characters and the silliness. it was a lot of fun for me to write the ridiculous dialogue and just have a lot of fun with the character dynamics and interactions. i could not tell you 100% exactly how everything works in the game with the crossover with the main game. i didn't even myself think through every aspect. i think it's more fun for it to exist as this kind of how does this work?!? type entity than to try to logically connect it all together. especially as i feel like the presence of OFW itself gives way to lots of other potential fun stories and worlds that could exist within the same universe/timeline of OW that don't necessarily need to make logical sense

i'm glad you liked the soundtrack too. around this time was when i began using audiostock for all of my music so i credit OFW for introducing me to it and a number of composers that i then went on to use for arc 5 of the main game that really brought everything together. OFW also taught me a ton about screen direction and animation that I took in to the main game for arc 5 as well. it really did so much for me!

so thank you very much for the kind words and i'm so happy that you played and enjoyed it. it's such a silly but special little game to me 💕

Cuality is poop but I was checking out OW art dump and I loved it so much I made it my screen saver (I think thats the correct idk, the image that displays every time I turn on the computer

Oh I also wanted to ask, what are the gang's favorite animals? (I assume Orlam's is bunnies specifically Brownie but Im still really curious)

oh that's so sweet!! i really like that piece of them, they both look so cute 💕

as to your question i needed to go back and look it up as i knew i had answered this before but it was easily over a year ago hahaha:

Iggy: Chinchillas

Genzou: Dogs

Orlam: Rabbits

Gidget: Ferrets

Bucks: Horses (and dogs) (and tigers) (and cheetahs) (and elephants)…etc

[just-a-carrot]

Hiiiiii, how you doing? Im still writing my thoughts on arc 5 (thing is and essay at this point ;3) been writing since I finished the game the night of the 9 of august and after a 5 day procrastination I got to write again and the question came to my mind, (I was originally going to ask fears but I remembered the main plot 😅), so I wanted to ask what are the gang's love language? Im curious :3

Oh Im writing at the moment about the nightime chat with Gidget long way but getting at the middle point at last

you are in luck because I actually answered this before!! I did the actual test thingie for each of the chars to try to make it as accurate as possible:

Sooo I just learned that Orlam does honk noises when sneezing? Whats the history behind that? Like whats its deal

Dont get me wrong is funny af but I need to know how it came to be, jsjs the honking Tumblr sexyman

HELP tbh I don't even really remember the details or context behind this so I can't provide a whole lot more. I am wont to forget character details that I only share once on here, as you might expect. Especially as I've shared so many inane little details over the years so it's quite hard sometimes lol

If I had to guess I probably just said that because it's very funny and I like to give Orlam very funny character traits that seem to contradict him sometimes, like stupid things he can't help that undermine his suave image I guess. So just very silly but nothing more hahaha

hi carrot im feeling overwhelmed and anxious today, so I wanted to ask how would the love interest react and comfort Iggy if he was too overwhelmed by the day or having a panic attack

I wanted to look around in my asks a bit as I knew I had answered something very similar to this before and probably much better than I would be able to now (because I'm a bit tired and down myself) and I found this one that I think gets across the exact vibes each of the LIs would have. It's technically in response to a nightmare but I read through them and yeah... I basically wrote them as how they'd comfort Iggy in general after any kind of Event that upsets him or if he's feeling very anxious about something. I couldn't really think about how I'd change them except to not mention nightmares specifically if I were to rewrite them (and I think they're all very cute... 😌💕)
