Hiya! I'm excited for the game! It all looks amazing. The art, characters, story! I love Kage! Especially his yandere~
I like the saying:
I can fix him I can make him worse.
I was wondering what inspired you to make the game? Or the inspiration of the characters?
Again, good job on the game! I'm rooting for you!!! Sending you all my support!
Blargh you've hit me right in the feels here, I'm so glad you like Kage and the game ;w;
The neat thing about this game is that "I can fix him (or make him worse)" is kind of a core concept/overall theme of it, though in kind of an unusual way that I don't want to reveal online since it would spoil it a bit. But I think you will enjoy the game (I hope)!
The game inspiration is a little weird. It was just over a month ago that I started this, not too long after finishing the game Omori, which is also an indie game made in the same engine that I am using for my game (Omori is actually how I learned about this game engine's existence).
If you're unfamiliar with Omori, mental health and trauma are major themes in the game, and I loved how they combined that with sweet and sentimental themes too. It was just a really touching game that hit close to home to me. My game is definitely very different, but does deal with mental health/trauma and uses the same engine.
The other inspiration is going to sound terrible, but I was literally searching online for yandere games to play, and of course the first one that popped up in searches was Yandere Simulator, and since I literally live in a cave I didn't know about it. I went to the game's website and wasn't really impressed with it, didn't care for the art or design or any of it, the only thing I liked was the idea of playing as a yandere and stalking your crush, but it sounds like the game is stuck forever in demo/testing mode and won't ever be finished anyway.
Also the lack of male yanderes was disappointing, but whatever, not every game is made for me. :) But I thought, wouldn't it be cute to go the other way with it, and make a game where YOU are being stalked by a yandere who is obsessed with you...? I did find a TON of visual novels online that have that as a theme, but I personally prefer RPG style games where there is some gameplay and you can move your character around, so I decided to go for that instead, from what I can see there are way less of those available with a male yandere stalker. In fact, I haven't found ANY so far, but I probably just didn't look hard enough.
Kage is kind of an externalized (and somewhat exaggerated) expression of all my own weird traumas, insecurities, and issues, which isn't something I'm super proud of but also something I've had to work really to overcome, which I AM proud of. He's like my "shadow" self if you're familiar with Jungian psychology, which is why I named him "Kage," it's just Japanese for "shadow" lol.
Sorry, that was a really long-winded response so...thanks for the question and coming to my TedTalk...and for your support <3
Your gift is finished! I made a game for you! No idea how to make an exe file with the engine I used, and it is the only game engine that I know how to use on a phone, so you can only play it online for now. Sorry about that!

2-Headed Boy is also on YouTube and TikTok! If anyone wants to help me out with getting a little visibility on those (especially YouTube, that one seems extra challenging) give me a follow/a like or 2 on those to help spread the good word!
And here is the TikTok :)
Will we be able to adopt the cats at the cat cafe?
Yes! I am thinking at minimum the player can adopt at least one cat. Maybe more, I'm not sure yet, the cafe is still in its infancy but yes you can def have a cat
Thank you everyone who got me to 100 reblogs!

ignore the shitty camera quality but he's home 🫶🫶🫶 im so excited to put him on my fridge
Yesterday I added the actual mechanics into the game for leveling up the cats at the café, and added a feather toy. Each cat activity makes 1 hour of in-game time pass per round (but in reality takes less than a minute). No worries though, when you're not doing specific activities, time passes normally in the game (1 minute in game is 1 real life minute etc.). So no need to rush.
You may or may not be thinking, sheesh just move on from the cats already and get back to work on the main point of this game; dating and yandere harassment! To which I say:
I'm sorry
I will be working on more of the hand drawn sprites of the guys for White Day events next
Kage meltdown is coming soon
Please look forward to it

Don't know his skin tone so made a rough sketch fan art without it :DD
Started routing Yurei into the game last night. It's quite a process, because I have to create a schedule or routine for each of the love interests, since they won't always be in the same place; it will of course depend on the time of day, and they also can't be in 2 places at once.
So for example, Yurei will be at home between certain hours of the day, and at his work for other hours (but only on certain days of the week). I also had to set it up so that if you're at his work while his shift is changing, he will realize that his shift is over and leave for the day.
Or if it's a holiday and he's supposed to be at the mall or something, I can't have him also sitting at home in his apartment or at his work etc.
Also, you can't go into the guys' apartments if you haven't met them yet, or if they aren't home. There are just a lot of little things like that to work in. I'm avoiding working on Yugen and Shinkiro, and focusing on Yurei for now, because if I try to work on them all simultaneously, I'll go insane.
Well, except I'm working on Kage at the same time as Yurei, because he's interwoven into all of the love interest routes, so I can't avoid him. Kind of like how the player can't avoid him
My darling,
When you smile
It is like a song...
And I can hear it now
