Intoxicating

My gay heart pounding for kali

this is stunning! also kali is incredible 🔥🔥🔥

Very nice and sweet story. I wonder why the bad ending is... Well, a bad ending, looks more like a realistic ending to me actually xD

Also, I downloaded the game when it released, and noticed that Kate sprite besides the text is slightly floating, unsure if this was fixed already...

Now, I'II shameless leave this here and go on my way...

It is extremely difficult to write games with flirtation interaction that involves the player.

The tonal shift from 'Player's character doesn't want to be at work' into a 'Player's character is vulnerable to be flirted with' came across a little disjointed.

Without the setup of character building, it feels like the player is meant to personally be won over with how the text is written rather than putting ourselves into the shoes of Kate and how she sees the world.

As a suggestion, it might be possible to lay out a little groundwork on the life of this Player Character (Kate) beforehand. Perhaps having us play through a few bar shifts? Understanding what it's like to be in the role, revealing bits of exposition, setting up plot hooks for Kate to have curiosity about the intimate nature of people; the player is then aware of the intended premise when the main antagonist arrives.

Final note: At the 'always playing it safe' dialogue, I really wanted to yell at the computer about how it's a choice based on defining ourselves in a chaotic world. Even the overly simplified good person / bad person narrative for how the world is, is part of this choice of defining self. heh. Ah well.

Thanks for making this game :)

This was so COOL!! First of all, the art and the GUI are GORGEOUS and the music is BEAUTIFUL, they make the experience so much more immersive!! 

 Kate is such a delight to play as and Kali is so mysterious and, well, INTOXICATING!! badam tss

The writing and general pacing of the story was really well done, it truly felt like a night at a bar chatting with a bartender while they make you a cocktail. Not to mention, apart from the very entertaining flirting between Kate and Kali, I love how deep their conversation was!! It really set the mood and reminded me of how a lot of people like going to bars not only for a drink but also for a good chat with the bartender~

Kate was super relatable to me, especially because I'm a recovering people pleaser. I hope they know that it's okay to be selfish sometimes and they don't have to sacrifice themselves for others. You got this, Kate!! 

The endings were all great!! I think the normal ending was my favorite, with the best ending being a close second. The bittersweetness to them made me a little sad, but I also found it endearing (especially in the normal ending).

Kali makes me SO CURIOUS and I'd love to learn more about her if there's ever a plan to have her appear in another game, hehe.

Amazing game, I loved it a lot!! <3 <3 <3 

Positively intox—

Wait for it...

A really interesting story with a fun juxtaposition between the simple-minded, people pleasing, easily flustered MC Kate and the devilish femme fatale mystery woman at the bar.

The dialogue was intriguing, seductive, witty, and flirty, which matches well with the vibe from the game's name and aesthetics.  The game delved into surprisingly deep territory for a while, which was a pleasant surprise (even though the subject matter is potentially depressing 😔).  Also, I appreciate the nod/reference with the mystery woman's "name". 😉

My only (relatively small) beef is that we don't actually get to see Creampuff, not even a small pic on Kate's phone. 😿 But art costs money, so I understand!

GORGEOUS graphics & UI, really expressive sprites, great use of camera work and ATL, the use sound effects was a nice touch — a cherry on top, if you will. 🍒😎  Presentation-wise, you killed it!!

Overall, amazing job! 🎉
