I'm not crazy, I just wanted to let you know.

We're all a bit crazy at the very least.

"We're all mad here." I couldn't resist~

Okay, it took a lot longer to get out of the first room than it should have. Partly 'cause I'm stupid in thinking that you have to go in front of--the window, the opened red herring book of fables, the vase of brittle roses, bookshelves, the window--something and try using any items in the inventory on them (AKA keep using items on everything until something works and you make progress 'cause you have no idea what you're doing) but also because

Books were blocking the way to the cabinet with the axe in it. I had to stand to the left corner of it to access it. Not the left side of it since the interaction spot overlaps at that point to get me the examine bed dialogue instead. I shouldn't have assumed I couldn't interact with the cabinet when that happened but instead tried harder to reach it. Like Nedras said, those books and pillows really get in your way. You might have a cute face Noel but that doesn't excuse you not picking up after yourself!

Anyway, what do you do when you're given an axe? Chop down the locked door of course! Though for some reason I first had to examine the right side ('cause the left is just examining the cabinet) of the window to see if the Magpie was still there before I could do that.

So I finally succeeded in leaving my room! I feel so accomplished. Mankind will speak of this for future generations to come! Okay, dramatics aside, clearly there is something wrong with this family if they lock a child in his room (just realized the significance of the lock being on the outside of the room). Sadly, the axe broke and ruined my plans of going on an ax-crazy murder spree. Drats.

The first I noticed about this mansion... it's dark! Either they've boarded up their windows, closed all the curtains, or are cheapskates when it comes to paying the electric bills 'cause you can barely make out any details in those hallways.

So I was then tasked by the Magpie to fetch it a glass of water. Simple enough where even a complete idiot such as myself couldn't possibly fail! Surely it would be easier than escaping my room. I was proven right though I am slightly concerned that I could not walk around the table on its upper side and had to instead walk all the way around the bottom side. Sure, it doesn't take that much more time but it's the principal of the matter.

So I gave the Magpie the water. Then Noel was scripted to leave the balcony and somehow I was supposed to construe from the dot dot dot what to do next. Luckily for him, I am well versed in that language and translating it revealed that he had suddenly developed an inexplicable desire for stabbing feathered creatures. I suppose it's customary to leave and then immediately come back before you kill someone but I'm not French/German like he is so I wouldn't know. So Noel pulls out not his hunting knife but scissors out of nowhere. Then he contemplates self-harm. Apparently he is a cutter. Prompting to do so results in him experiencing the blissful feeling that I've only ever read of. Unfortunately, he wasn't careful and cut an artery and bled to death.

Choosing no will make Noel murder that bird. I don't find this disturbing at all. It was the right thing to do. Otherwise, that Magpie would have gone on to become intelligent enough to start a bird school which is for birds.

But this was just another typical day in the life of the Albino Russian Dwarf. With his goal accomplished, he then proceeded to return to his room and take a well-deserved break. He didn't lose any sleep over what he did. Later, Noel was woken by a maid who informed him that dinner was ready. Tonight's menu? Roasted magpie. Food always tastes better when you're the one who killed it and Noel did work up quite an appetite fattening up that poultry under the pretense of helping it and then butchering it without remorse. The bookworm thought he did a good job but Granny was not impressed. She showed her displeasure by slapping him on his un-bandaged cheek, leaving a bruise that would swell later and have to be bandaged. She then shrieked "Get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich! Also, no supper tonight!"

So Noel went to the kitchen. But there he met his arch-nemesis... the maid. Ooohhh, but this wasn't your average everyday maid. This was a blue-haired, red-eyed crossdressing pigeon boy meido! Sparks flew as the traps glared at each other. You see, in this world there CAN ONLY BE ONE! What followed was an epic ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny that would forever go down in history as the greatest modelling competition. There are many variations of the tale but all agree on one thing... the few lucky spectators died of nosebleeds caused by viewing the event. There are heretics however who believe it was just an urban legend. Their argument? "Pics or it didn't happen." Many had to concede to that logic. And that's why the previous maid got replaced by Annabelle.

And so ends HikiNeet's abridged interpretation of the demo. And if you're asking "When did the scene after Noel went to sleep happen?" Well, it didn't. I just made that up.

Oh, and Noel should really get those shelves and books dusted and the books on the floor picked up. He must quite lazy if he can't even take care of them. He is a disgrace to avid readers everywhere! Though I'm kind of the last person who should be saying that since my literary possessions are in the same state. I can say from experience that dust bunnies aren't something you should be looking forward to on your pages.

You sure like drawing boys in frilly and lacy clothing... Not that I'm complaining, hehe. This does make me wonder about their choice of undergarments... Err, anyway! I checked out your Facebook and Tumblr. That Noel in a wedding dress (made me think of Reimu Hakurei and then Flandre Scarlet) and dem fishnet stockings... Strutting around in those lacy boots--a performance further accentuated by how much leg he's showing--he's just asking to be kidnapped! The Hunger Games fanart just leads credence to him being unhinged. It's always the cute and quiet ones!

The way he holds that red book reminds of Allen from Alice Mare. In fact, they both happen to wear suspenders and are usually sporting a stoic expression. If we take it even further, Letty from the same series also has the same taste in coats and ribbons (even if they're not the same color).

I hope to see some animal-eared/tailed boys since you wrote that he find himself in a dark 'Wonderland' (The journal lied; there are no illustrations nor can you read it). Yeeessssss, a Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit--Wait, we already have the latter in the form of Noel, hehe~

"Oh! What a cute little bunny rabbit. Just what I always wanted: my own little bunny rabbit. I will name him George and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him. And rub him and caress him and stroke him and cuddle him so he will never feel rejected or lack for love."

Err, so have I proven myself worthy of joining the Noel Stalking Appreciation Fan Club yet? I saw the sprites for Azelle and Rue by the way. They look nice.

I see that you like 1BitHeart if the fanart you drew of the main character was any indication. Nanashi is indeed very kawaii~ I actually haven't finished that game. You see, when I first learned of it only two chapters were out. The game's long been complete now though. I've just never gotten around to doing it. I'll get back to you on my favorite character(s) if I don't forget to do so. The places in that game are so beautiful, the soundtrack wonderful to listen to, and the character designs are cute.

Thanks for having the DETERMINATION to get through my loquacious post. Here's a Pokemon Gijinka Trap for all your troubles. I found it while surfing the web and I thought it might interest you. Who knows? Maybe it'll inspire you. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for informing me; I'll fix up the maps. I can't really get rid of the pillows/books, but I can resize/move them so there's more room to walk. This was a problem in the kitchen as well.

I think there's something wrong with the family for not bothering to dust anything. Exactly why are all those bookshelves so old and dusty? It can't be that hard to clean them, right?
And that is why the axe is there; Noel can just break windows/doors everytime he wants to leave.

Such cheapskates.

Oh, the scissors were in his cabinet.

Uhmmmm, that is certainly a descriptive way of phrasing that. XD I'm starting to feel this is going to become what one would refer to as a "ham and cheese RPG." Well, according to Tumblr at the very least!
The demo is filled with bad choices and regret.
Kinda like life.
Just like life.
It's a life and death simulator.
With excessive cruelty to eyeless birds.
And lots and lots of pastries. That will dissipate into a neverending torrent of fear and regrets.
Such is the tale of life.
What joy.

Someone just had to sneak in a Hatoful Boyfriend reference.
I only checked the doctor's route.

Geez, everyone's making his grandmother out to be much more horrible than she actually is!
But, locking your grandson in his room would definitely not earn her any points.
Save that poor kid. Really.

Andddd, more Hatoful Boyfriend references.

And, another. Wow, who knew Noel would get his very own rival? They grow up so fast.

Noel's too short to reach any of them. Even if he stood on a stool, he wouldn't be able to reach the topmost books. Which is fine because he had read those back when they were on lower shelves.

It's more of a personal preference; I draw all my OCs in frilly outfits with cute hair accessories.
Actually, they all seem to wear whatever they want. They're free to like whoever/wear whatever they want in-exchange for death, death, and more death in every corner.
That wedding illustration was a request. Granted, I maaaay have drawn it too frilly.

They'd probably just wind up having a staring contest.
And then Chelsy would walk in only to run out screaming in terror because how are they not blinking?

I once considered giving Noel sheep horns, but I scrapped that idea.
There are animal-eared girls/boys, but none of them are main, main characters.

However, in a minor-ish project that's related to this, there's a pink-haired catboy:

And this is why Noel carries around a hunting knife. 8D
He already has Annabelle. XDD

Thank you! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ They're the main characters as well; I just need to draw their portraits.
Azelle doesn't get enough attention; I need to draw him more.

I found out about the game a day or two after Manlybadasshero released an LP of the first chapter.
However, I only watched the first chapter. I still need to catch up.
Yeah, Miwashiba's my favorite gamedeveloper! \>u</
Her character designs and plot are all amazing!!

He's so cute!!
But I'm actually not into traps; Noel's design is just reminiscent of how he used to be a Red Riding Hood-esque character. And Red. From Pokemon.
Because he's cool.
Thank you~!! Your post was really humorous. XDD

Oh, my child molesting soul is making some noises inside my head, I though I killed it the last time with that chainsaw. I think I wasn't able to concentrate it on my finger... Well, time to lose another one.

Other than that...

His sprite is so well drawn.

Hi, I played your demo and I really find the art, the design and perspective interesting.

A few bugs I ran into:

Show

-If you enter your room after having killed the magpie and you go back and check the door in the hallway to the left, the magpie is back on the balcony.

-If you click on stuff to the right for example in corners sometimes you get the text for stuff above. happened in hallways with the pictures.

- I did not even need to get the scissors, when I reentered I just magically had them^^

- And not a bug, but I guess when you go to the right first and Noel talks about water for "him" it is a bit weird since we do not know about the thirsty animal yet^^

Except for that it looked really interesting and I would love to see what the game will have to offer.

P.S: Shilling for my LP:
