visual novel of the week (2)
Chilling Devotion By Remina
TW: Bad Writing Because it is A Rant, not an Actual Review. Spoiler Free Bad Grammer
GAH! I found this through my recommendations on itch.io. Its yet, ANOTHER, ''yandere'' like visual novel. For this one, pretty much we try to escape our every day life by going to this vacay cabin in the middle of the woods. Lowkey wouldn't do it for myself but WHATEVER.
we end up going to the wrong cabin, wrong street, at the wrong time cause a storm hits us. And that's when we meet the other character in this psychological horror novel. Despite being the only other character, Jim (Yes, Jim) is a quiet guy. But going through the days, you guys slowly open up to one another (and become something more)
also because my last post got a bit of traction. why not make another one.
JIM₊˚⊹♡
Jim is the only other character in the visual novel (as of writing), but besides being the only other character, it doesn't mean he's boring in any sense. He's automatically giving a mysterious, scary vibe to him, but once you two start chatting, you see more to him then meets the eye. Or what the game leads you to think. He's the owner of the cabin you hijack and seems reliable enough. Hes sweet despite the vibe he gives off, and even if your a little harsh, hes still nice.
Small spoilers, maybe even once knew him? Not sure but hes still pretty likeable in my opnion despite the situation.
I say, don't trust a guy in the middle of the woods. Even if he's hot guys.
A FEW NOTES!!₊˚⊹♡
The art is very scurmptious
Does it feel right to say I feel the cold off the screen despite it being August here in Texas?
Each dialogue choice (duh) leads to different reactions but... god each one feels like the wrong choice (does that make sense?)
MC is gender neutral in this one!!
I said yandere but honestly I hate using that term cause that doesnt define what this visual novel is. UNLESS IM WRONG im just ranting its more psychological then anything. Horror element settles in.
Moments in Game with Jim (Possible Spoilers)
"knew it" is such meme material im sorry with that dumb smile "heh. knew it" 😏
Fanart for the game! Took a day. Learning how to render+muscles, so... sorry if it looks awkward.
will post this seperatly. bro i got too tired to render the towel so its helf assed. even the lines.I tried copying the style of the game too.
WARNING!! SPOILERS FOR THE GAME
JIM (SPOILERS)₊˚⊹♡ After a few playthroughs and more personal thoughts/rant probably wrong
Honestly, I love Jim. I'm pretty sure we're hinted to have KNOWN him. The wolf we get in our dreams and each dialouge being different from how we treat Jim. If we treat him romantically or just nicely we get a possessive wolf.
If we act rude or have Jim have an unsure opinion on us the wolf treats us as if we should be grateful. I may have to play again because it has been a few days but honestly. I love it. Also since the game isn't finished, I wonder what JIM is doing once he leaves us alone in the cabin. Like theirs a winter storm brewing, the same one he warned us on. This game has alot of open air mystery. Like what does the flower mean hidden in his journal. What happened to Jim out in the wilderness where it sounds like something is HUNTING him. (Or how I read it) I mean, im sure hes the wolf and we're the bunny from the symbolism alone. But in his journal where you and him don't trust one another, your able to read it.
Jim likes us thats obvious. But it feels as we have never met him but hes met us. From the flower and some off-hand comments. It sounds like he had known us before. But also.. not? Bro i like play most visual novels at 2 am cause im busy during the day. If i sound delusional I PROBS SLEEP DEPRIVED. anyway. Jim doens't seem to have malice intentions. He doesn't try to drug us or subdue us. (or maybe thats me)
When you drink the drink he gives you, no matter if he dislikes you. He doesn't attempt to drug you. I mean. Lets be dead ass your alone with this random guy in the middle of nowhere in a snow storm. WE yes WE have no survival skills. like cmon. but anywaysssss
i cant wait for a third day from remina.
BUT JIM IS SUCH UFGHH. His little smile (i say smirk) is so devious even though hes just smiling. Hes so cute. You can just TELL i am no theorist. Remina if you find this im sorry man as a nightowl I can not keep my eyes open typing this all up also did I mention the FANTASTIC art Remina makes. (pretty sure is remina)
Next Visual Novel I'll probably cover: WATCH THE ROAD
