oh no whatt! i tested the mac build and it worked for me, did it say anything for you?
also LOLL yessss toxic yuri >>>>>
keep going
over all pretty fun game
LOLL thank you still <3
ayo cutiearmy can i have your discort???
yo cinnamew he looks like a complete mafia in one guy he terorized your discort he tried to hit on you guys??? and fake his art with AI man he is elegal
what is this alt behavior
maybe he lives in nepal, nepal is on a high altitute hahhaha no but sirious whats wrong with this guy maybe he got to much of the american freedom that he is done with it???
hey a question a while ago i was banned from your discort server and i wanna know why???
Hey, it's because of your constant trolling and continuing to do so even after being told not to. E.x. making jokes about being into minors (without confirming your own age), repeatedly trying to hit on me and other members (even after it made us uncomfortable), attempting to defend AI art and outright denying, like being caught in a lie you knew you had no defense for, explanations on why it was immoral. It's not hard to listen and learn.
You also made a "joke" that wasn't even funny in the comments page of my first game (which you can't even find on my profile) about communism... there are better, less socially inept ways to make jokes.
We rarely ban members, but you failed to act in a manner mature enough for our community; it felt like dealing with a 13-year-old boy going through puberty who just discovered women. You're welcome to come back around in a few years if you feel that you've changed drastically and would like to be part of the community again. In the meantime, though, good luck with your game :)
wel that makes sense i kinda was illigal wel let me tel you the truth im 14 years old yes i did use ai to make that logo idk whats wrong with that and yes i did make a joke on your first game but if im right you dont even know the intentions of communism the intentions are that evry one has the same right same power evry body is at the same level ownershpis arnt owned by someone rich but by the state n dpeople them selves the the government controlls all production (idk whats wrong with that) wealth is privatly owned and communism is fully against capitalism it was a harmless joke that you saw as disrescpect what i can understand if you dont understand what communism is and okay maybe asking to go on a date to other mambers was stupid i gotta admit but the first thing you could say is STOP and then i wil im a honest young man and not a maniac im not this childish to acualy go on couse that would be cyberbullieng thats just gay
- We did ask you to stop.
- We explained why posting AI art and claiming it as yours, evading stating it was AI until inconsistencies were pointed out, was against the values of our community.
- I'm literally Chinese. "Communism" is not funny, in the same way that labeling a game "socialism" or "capitalism" when it's completely unrelated would bring no humor to the conversation. (Edit: also, in response to your paragraph, wealth is not privately owned in communism)
- Calling cyberbullying gay is also not very kind? That causes "gay" to have a negative connotation... which you're saying in the middle of the comments of a very gay game....
I hope this conversation can end here. If you have any more questions, you can take it to my email (cinnamew.art@gmail.com); I don't want to clog up the comments here
so here i am i deeply apologize send this as a screen shot to all your crew im very sorry
china kids shows right now: (this is only as a joke im sorry if i disrespected somebody)
i have some questions to you cinnamew did you watch this
HAHA i mean i watched it now this is so xue hua piao piao core
you say communism isnt funny fascism isnt funny i live in russia and this country is slowly showing signs of fascism and for the people wo dont know what fascism holds its just a simplefied racism the leader only suports one group for example white people and the rest are not equal there is only one leader, other political oponents are just simple way killed for an example benito killed his oponents by the elections, fascism is very militarized, only high ups in the economie have alot to say. thats fascism mostly not sayin that russia is fascist but its realy going to be so
but tbh this animation is fire you should watch some turkish kids shows like pepe super fun i watched it alot wen i was a kid
but to be honest Xi Jingping cant be that bad with his people im sayin couse man such a chad cant be bad right
tbh you sure are a trouble maker
what font is used for the text ingame? its cute ! :
April I believe!! it really is :D
how many ending are there
2!
you know what I kinda like it if its a horror game I'll play it 10/10 good game tbh
I fixed the softlock just return to tidle
just played it again to get the good ending kinda shocking and cute at the same time
all your games are da best >:3
I love the artstyle and all the horror elements sm! I hope this game gets super popular! :D
thank you!!! this is not my usual style of game but yeah every time nii and i collab it always turns out to be cutesy horror LOL
holy crap what a game i had like an insane plot twist (i chose the wrong options on porpess so something with horor or somethiing would happen and shit on) i realy like this game and let me guess one of the developers is lesbian just a gamble i would realy like to see more about this game
unfortunately none of us are lesbian but all of us are queer!!! >:DD and WAHOO i'm very glad u likeeddd
your welcome brother you should make some games that are for sale with money or something would be cool (not cool for my wallet)
AW we are thinking abt a dlc possibly but i feel like i'm not popular enough to make games that require money yet T-T
bro just do it make a new and big game and i mean big and thats it you just have to have a game thats longer than that you and your team make and you can put it to sale i got some ideas on my own but those are for my game
im just making a demo of my own game an if people like it im going to expand it and fucking already going to sell it idk how much but il just ask chat gpt for a good price
wel i made the gameble becouse the game Miss Inconspicuous Maid Girl Cleaning Co has also lesbians i thought and this game to so now you know
HAHA none of the creators for either of them are lesbian but the characters are usually bi/lesbian :3c
a question can i have your personal discord on this way we can pesonaly text eachother with what we want to send without bothering anybody???
Ah, yes. My favorite show, Mailor Soon. I loved this game since I love cute things and horror. I can't wait for more of your games
Waa thank you!!!! And hell yeah Mailor Soon >:DDDD I was thinking of random names I could do but settled on that one since the original idea had something to do with magical girls hehe
I wonder if you have a new game planned already. If so, what will it be about?
We're currently making the sequel to our other game, Miss Inconspicuous Maid Girl Cleaning Co (shortened to MIMCO). It's pretty similar to this game, but is more centered on psychological horror, so no gore or anything like that. But we're not sure when the game will be out </3
That was the first game I played made by you. I wonder what you have planned for the sequel. Anyway, good luck!
Ah!! Thank you for your constant support then :DD thank you!
The sequel will be set in the same world, but different time :)
AAGHHHGHHH THIS GAME IS AMAZING
This game is so FUCKING PEAK, I like the art style and gore, and its just really good. also the endings are good. 🤑 also the part where Mimi pushes Domo and Mimi just "fixes" her scared the shit out of me, analog horror type shit. but really good game! 👍also the soundtracks are really good.
AYYYY thank you for trying it out!! we did wanna make it analog horror yeah :)))
very epic :) 🤑
NEW CINNAMEW GAME!! I played mimco before and I loved it sm so when I saw this I cheered!! I love the toxic yuri + pocketnii's art is super cute ^_^ My favorite ending is definitely the good one, I love how slight details change (Mimi kissing Domo and noting how she tastes 'sour', feels icy, feels bugs crawling into her mouth etc) it's very cute yet grotesque
Just replayed it again and I noticed the phone charms!! domo's colors and the matching charms r super cute
OH MY GOD i think ur the only person who found the phone charm thing + THANK YOU for noticing those lines omg!!!! i love that part most abt the good ending :3c
Hello! It was a very cute and nice visual novel game!
Mimi and Domo's quarrelsome but sweet conversation made me very happy!
I wish I could have watched their happy space all the time... I wish I could have watched them...
The taxidermy scene and the third day made me so excited!
And I can't believe that this piece was made in the limited time of 72 hours! It was an amazing piece of work that will remain in my memory,nya~!
spoiler
I thought when I was playing that Domo enters dead but moves of its own volition like a zombie.
Others who saw me play streaming thought that the conversation with Domo was imaginary by Mimi and that he was really dead.
Then I read the creator's comments and it seemed to be true that he was actually dead.
The sweet space between Mimi and Domo was Mimi's complete fantasy, and the truth is that Domo-chan was... nyaaaaah!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING!! I'm surprised we've already reached global players even without any translations :0 thank you for reading the comments as well! Your playthrough and accent is so cute :D yeah, unfortunately there's no choice to not "fix" Domo or not do any of the minigames TT... but now I'm happy I added a Continue option :)
Hehe since you're Japanese you might've caught the double meaning in Domo's name? One of our writers speaks Japanese and told us it meant "sorry," so I added the line "Domo, my Domo" ("sorry, my Domo") earlier on in the game :3c
In case you haven't played MIMCO (the maid game you clicked on at the end of the video) yet, don't worry; it's not scary! It's supposed to be psychological horror, so more of thinking of your actions and what's a moral decision/what isn't.
It was a really good story and amazing! I really liked that it was sprinkled with cuteness and insinuations of reality, too.
Sometimes I use Domo to apologize, sometimes I use it to say hello or thank you.
I think I tend to use it for thanking people!
Also, in Japan, there is a lovely brown and square character called Domo-kun, which made me think of that, meow~!
Wahh I didn't know that :00 that's so cool!! Thank you for your insights hehe 🙇♀️
im in the netherlands and domo here is just domo but dutch ppl are just wierd btw im not dutch im moslim (not gonna give any more info about me) they cant talk english and evry time they do i just realy want to punch them in the face but yeah you can say your game is global
(Note: I don’t think どうも on its own is used much as an apology, though it can serve to emphasize other apologetic words; hence “Dōmo, my Domo” would mean something like “Thank you/hello, my Domo.”)
OH!! That's fine then heheh maybe I'll change the script to have that in the beginning :3c
ohhmy tahts so cute!!
Another hidden Gems Found!
THANK YOU <33!!! a similar game of ours popped off so we're glad this one is as well :D
i really enjoyed this game! the graphics are gorgeous and the story is well planned and very cohesive. i really appreciate the effort put into this beautiful experience. :)
THANK YOU!! I love your voice :D and yeahhh I was pretty proud of that name HAHA wasn't sure if people would notice so I included the thing at the end
also your theory of what happened is spot on :3c
wait so she was dead from the beginning??? damn...
spoilers but yeah it was all mimi's hallucination (you were talking to her corpse the whole time)
是的，一个结局比另一个结局说的更多哈哈！谢谢你的支持 :)

Great game! I really love the art style and the toxic dynamic between the two of them! I dont wanna spoil too much cuz it's already not too hidden in the game itself but you did a really good job on this and I really hope you continue making games! Also ty for offering the assets in a separate download super nice of you!
THANK YOU <3!!!
This game was one heck of a rollercoaster. It certainly hit me in the face, but in the best way possible, the art, music, sound effects, and plot is a definite 10/10!!! o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓
THANK YOU SO MUCHH
No problem!! :3
It's also really nice that you respond to all the comments, most creators barely interact with their fans nowadays, so that's nice :3
ahh omg what that's so sad :(((!!! the highlight of my day is always checking my itch notifs HAHA
(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
Tip:
To get the bad end, choose these options:
"push on"
"change subject"
"watch tv"
I've seen some people get confused on how to get it, so here is how you can experience it!
this game was super awesome!!!!!! <3333
spoilers ahead:
in the 'kissy' ending, when you kiss her three times and its 'sour', is mimi kissing domo's dead body? and then did bugs crawl in her mouth or something? that's what i interpreted. all together a really really cool game. i think i get it, but some parts of the game still confuse me in a way. i think she had already killed domo and was tryna put her back together.. but i can't think of how that played out. another thing i wonder..why she did kill domo in the first place?. also wondering why domo really didnt wanna watch the show mimi likes. i was confused as to why it made her uncomfortable so i guess i missed some stuff?? lol. the plug for ur other maid game was funny, especially since i've already played and knew what it was lol. that game is also super duper cool just like this one!! the art on both is soo gorgeous and pretty and really well put together. i enjoyed playing this game a lot!!
Your interpretation of the event in one of the endings is correct haha! i dont want to answer all your questions just to see how other people interpret it differently, but we do have a set timeline for how things played out esp as mimi is meant to be an abuser in the past if it helps (see the push scene). i also recommend playing the bad end too! I can also see why the TV issue can be confusing. since we only had 72 hours, we didn't exactly get to plan out every detail (why exactly domo hates the TV show so much) since it kept changing everytime someone edited the script, but everything else has more or less a set timeline of events🫶
ohhhhhh.. just got the second ending?? i think i get it now! super cool game :D
OMG THANK YOU UR THE 2ND PERSON TO CATCH THE BUG THING i wrote it thinking "omg ppl will be so grossed out reading this part!!!" and then no one got it 😭 and yeah what nii said but also i imagined the tv show thing not as a dislike for the show itself but as annoyance for mimi saying it's both their fav shows (e.x. if domo's loved my little pony or smth instead but mimi never noticed). and LOL the plug was supposed to be a half plug cuz i sillied the name (inconsiderate !?)
and yeah nii def cooked on the art 🙏
How do you make such awesome games in such short amounts of time, and make such pretty art as well. I'm usually not a fan of a lot of pink but you manage to make it look calming instead of too bright and displeasing!
THANK YOU! We split into roles, so usually we have one person draw the entire time. This time, Nii drew all the character/VN/etc. art + helped with the story :) she tends to use a lot of pink in her art and always kills it!
I can tell, and no problem! :3
I think it's cool how you split into groups and manage to keep your works still very organized, and nice. There isn't any inconsistencies and if there are, I quite literally cannot notice lol
Y'all are awesome!
WAHOO i'm glad!! nii and i split up the art and she was concerned abt inconsistencies so i'm glad it turned out well :DD
<33
omg I loved this so much!!
Loved it!
TYSM FOR PLAYING! I answered your questions in the comments of your video :)
THIS GAME IS SO GOOD!!!!! i love the art and story and everything!! ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ good job you guys are def my fave developers!!
AWW WHAT THAT'S SO SWEET THANK YOU!!! :'))
This is such a fantastic game. Really enjoyed the story and the twist. I think it's absolutely beautiful and extremely gorgeous about the art! The endings as well are wonderful, and actually conveyed what fully happened as well. (I apologize if I'm not good in words.)
I unfortunately playthroughed the game in the web build, and I noticed there's an update now so yeah.
Anyway, here's my... I guess cursed commentary of the game.
(Tho I do have like a non commentary one as well.)Thank you so much!! I couldn't really tell what you were saying most of the time unfortunately, there seems to be a bit of static </3 and that's weird that the settings menu didn't seem to work? It works on my end...
ah I see. Welp I'll try to keep that in mind. I'm sorry.
i have...no words...oh my god. my jaw was literally dropped for like 75% of this game, especially in the bad(?) ending. absolutely masterful. oh my god.
WAHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! yeah esp the last cutscene in the bad end nii COOKED with that one! did you get it :00 (the endings should fit together to tell you the full story of what happened with domo and why she acts the way she does..)
I THINK I DID!!! and oh my god that one line of dialogue --
spoiler
where domo is like "you never should have loved a woman this is why your mother fucking killed herself instead of taking care of you" HOLY SHIITTT that was insane. I actually fell in love with this story...from what i understand how mimi already killed domo a while ago? that would explain the torso that she sometimes hallucinated, and how domo was quickly "fixed" like her taxidermy
WAHOOO YES OMG a lot of ppl aren't getting it but yeah domo is mimi's hallucination the entire time (in both endings) :DD so like in that ending she becomes basically the demon in mimi's head LMAO
I FIGURED cause when mimi looks down at what's in her hands and is like "no no no" i figured it's domo's body IT WAS SUCH A GOOD TWIST OMMGGG
i must be a dumbass cause i cant get the other ending sob i only can get the "fixing" my gf ending BUT EXCEPT THAT THIS IS A REALLY CUTE GAME WITH A UNIQUE CONTEXT, I LOVE IT
i think you've gotta pick all the asshole dialogue options, like pushing on in the argument and watching the show even though your gf doesn't want to
omg THANK YOU SO MUCH IM SUCH A DUMBASS thanks a lot UGH <33
YOU'RE WELCOMEMEEE
THANK YOU!! both are "fixing" but one's more delusional than the other 💀 i hope you liked them both though! they should fit the story together, except the other one tells you more information lmao
Holy sheeshhh this was a good one! I hate horror games but this one left me with so many questions.. hey at least i got the kissy endinggg:0
im scared of mimi
THANK YOU!! i also can't stand horror games qwq (esp jumpscares, i'll never make anything w a jumpscare 😭
kissy ending is actually the more gross one tbh.. no one's catching it but there's a line after a kiss that does reveal like . some stuff.... the story is set in real life.....
being scared of mimi is real but hey she's only human..!
I’m trying to play this on my iPad in browser but my web page keeps crashing :((
oh no!!! i think it worked on nii's ipad?? do you have a pc you could play it on? i'm not sure if some scenes detect mouse/touchpad only...
i begged my mom to let me borrow her laptop and i played it!! i love how mimi isn’t the stereotypical “bad partner” and has some depth to her character
WAHOO so glad to hear!
super fun got both endings! \(^v^)/
YAHOO!! which one did you like more??
spooky :D
eating a ham sandwich rn while playing, will send updates while playing the game.
I'm gonna try to say as much as j can without spoiling anything, Optional Girl kissing. Oh and uh, Second minigame made me feel spooped.
oh oh god oh wow holy shit holy shit fuck what the hell why is she looking at me like that oh god
LOL i love your reaction
Lel, thanks! I just wanted to do this for the funni :D
Hell yeah i got the girlkisser ending!! Happy ending!!! (Probably not, because of cinnamew's reply 2 comments below me) (Also, wow. Itch io went and bummed down before i could finish this reply.)
Also, ham sandwich tasted good. A bit too greasy, and no ketchup on samwich but i can ignore that because it tasted good. Unfortunately i didn't add extra ham to the corners of my sandwich so i had to eat those parts without the ham, just bread :(
Another also, I legitimately got confused on why taxes were a trigger warning (understandable though, the IRS sucks ((Still, pay your taxes!))) until i realized it was taxidermy.
AW NAUR do you always have ketchup on your sandwiches?? i don't eat ham (vegetarian) so i wouldn't know how it tastes but it feels like an interesting combo
HAHA omfg i was working on the game at 3 am and literally SAME it was so dark in my room and i was trying to get that scene to animate it was so bad... had to make the window really small.....
YAY!!! made the glitch sprite in like 2 minutes 💀 it was kinda a redo of sprites i made for other minigames (there was supposed to be skinning/forming (the only one rn)/stitching, it's part of the taxidermy process) but they didn't end up getting finished in time :(
pssttt.. dont read comments if you dont want to get spoiled🫶
when domo died I was like "NOOOO DOMOOOOOO NOOO" and then when she was alive again I was like "DOMOS ALIVE YESWSSSSSJDGHJDGMSUKFVGUEITWGUILYJOG" also cute ending happy marriage between them :D
ouh.. um... i have news for you if u think domo's alive and they had a happy marriage.......... (jk haha up to interpretation ofc!! but the creators have our own interpretation LMAO)
