“That girl isn’t a human, no matter how much she might look like one! She’s evil! If you let her stay here, she’ll destroy you!”
Haruna Masaomi is a man in his early sixties who lives in the small countryside village of Higashikawa. His wife, Mariko, died several years prior, and the couple never had any children, leaving Masaomi on his own.
Masaomi regrets now having any children, but he has made peace with his secluded life, and he’s happy enough whiling away his remaining years reading murder mysteries…
At least, until he meets a young girl collapsed in his garden late at night, during a thunderstorm.
Masaomi doesn’t know where the girl came from or what happened to her, but one thing is clear: she’s no ordinary human. With horns like hers, and long, sharp claws, she can only be a monster.
Ignoring the warnings of his housekeeper, Masaomi decides to take the girl in — but what will happen next?

this has been a lovely read! definitely one to remember. it's bittersweet yeah, and I think the pacing was worked out nicely (re:afterword and struggling with it early in dev). I do feel like for both the main story and epilogue, it ended much quicker than I expect, like somehow I expected it to keep going for at least ~20 more lines, but I guess it's fun to leave things open to interpretation!
I wanted to even see the page again to do pay-what-you-want donations, if any, but I guess this is meant to be fully free 😅
if this ever becomes a fuller game somehow (
I guess it's a tonal clash to add more SoL scenes when it's pretty sad and so maybe it's a bad idea), I think it'd be interesting!Beautiful show of love from a parent to a child 💕very dark but also very sweet 🩹🙏
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Rinka is such a sweet little (demon) girl ^^ Her bond with Masaomi was so touching. I liked how kind he was and how much he cared for Rinka. The scene where Masaomi, Rinka, and Kanon were watching shooting stars together is probably my favourite. Also, the scenes with the cat wanting to eat Rinka's tuna riceball were very cute.
The ending made me cry. Thank you for making this!
i'm glad!!! thank you! <3
cursor is so huge it's distracting
I mean it is bigger than standard, but personally I just move my cursor to be at the bottom of the screen most of the time, works fine for me
Thank you for your Blossom Jam 2024 submission! ❤️
Thank you for running it! ❤️
