Hold Your Tongues

An interesting game.
Very....gore-esque, in some ways. But not viceral or horror.

I can only ever find a single ending tho. The one under the sea.
No amount of retries get me a second ending.
Maybe I'm just unlucky. lol

It could have been a good ending, if he'd turned you into what he was instead.

But it seems more a... sad ending.

Although letting you go would have been sad as well.

I'd love to see more choices, and see the affect the outcome.

I'd love to see a version where he makes you what he is in the end.
A bit more romantic when you can return his love. Assuming that is the right thing to call it.

But non the less, an interesting game.
(Semi-game. Considering it only have a single choice, which has no impact that I can see. Perhaps I should have called it a book.)

i dont quite understand the story so i dont have much to express abt it but i can definitely appreciate good art!! your art style is so edible?? im so glad theres an option to hide the dialogue and screenshot bc omg starling is GORGEOUS,, amazing character design. also at first, i never thought tht his tail was made of tongues so it was cool tht it was mentioned in the game. also him showing his insides to us was so oddly romantic.. idk it felt so personal and definitely the type of 'opening up' id want from my partner. and him biting off our fingers omgggg i was so flustered, idk if its a me problem or because the writing was so good, it wasnt so terrifying to get my fingers bitten off but it was still so well-written. i hope i can come back to this novel one day n reread it n be able to comprehend it more. thank you for this game, truly. 🧜‍♂️<3

I am utterly enthralled by this story. This is one of the most beautifully twisted tales I've read in a while, the way you wrote this almost gave it a fairy tale vibe but mixed with some creative body horror and very dark themes. It was strange to begin with but the further along I went the more it drew me in, and seeing the odd relationship between the MC and Starling was fascinating to watch (adding Starling to the list of questionable fictional crushes). Both endings had my jaw on the floor, I really couldn't predict where things would go. Admittedly I was confused about how to get the second ending as there weren't any choices at all, I did see the note about it being Starling's choice but couldn't see how that would change. But then I replayed it and it changed on it's own, which is not something I think I've seen before. The idea of having a choice completely out of the players hands is really interesting, I'd love to see that concept explored. The art is also gorgeous, really loved the character design for both MC and Starling. Loved this so much, will definitely be keeping an eye out for the bonus episodes and any future games you release.

WHATTT how am i just seeing that THE meo_eiru made a game.. better yet, a monsterfucking game!!! eating ts up!!

Yeah...I'm so stupid but just wanna give some idea about Maelyn's lore (more like asking for confirmation of assumption tho lol)

<<<SPOILER>>>>

So Maelyn's husband abused her and also forced himself on her? Did she also kill him or just run away since she was so haunted by his voice, I guess it was more of the first one. Maybe she did 'pro-choice' of her unnewborn, too.

More about Starling...like damn wtf he rly is???(sorry to be rude) Is he an actual monster or a human once time then became a monster later with a mystery reason? Why did he look like her ex-husband? Like goddamn, I rly wanna knew( TOT) and also about his character's concept, too!

Edit: still no clue how did Starly end up dying in branch choice? Like is it because his body need to be morphed with suitable organ or he will get weakend??

<<<<END>>>>

Moreover, this gives off Stephen King vibe if he did more body horror gore and yandere genre (Geral's game doesn't count tho) It rly no need context much for its own aesthetic, but my curious ass still wanna knew more. Pls tell me u have more spare lore as your doodles or sth ;w;

I can see greatness in this game but tbh it needs endings! Rn it's just same thing and the choices don't lead to anything, but I'm sure once you implement it'll then be even more enjoyable! <33

i have no clue what is happing in this but its cool asf. great art but the writing makes me confused ''-v-

no fricking idea what was going on but the art is so amazing

This was amazing. The writing was slightly confusing, and the 'cuddle' end made me slightly confused, but the art is so gorgeous. 

finished the game in one hour, but will think  about it forever

such a gorgeously terrifying work of art. I will be analysing this shit

beautifully horrifying. Play this blind, you won't regret it

Tragic and horrifying story. The tongues can give you either some freaky imagination or some fear of tongues after playing this fr (ineedtotouchgrasssorry)

I came from meru's account and GOSH that was such a shocker, I love love loove this VN but I feel like every moment my jaw dropped lower!!!!!

man idk what the fuck was going on but the art and writing was so good i actually felt horrified like GYATT DAMN BRO 💀💀💀

Nothing prepared me for that 'snuggle' in that one ending. Game kinda fucked up but in an enjoyable sense if that makes sense. 

Would I play again? Nooo. Will I go find a romantic, fluffy game now? Yes, I need comfort
