When I started I thought it would be a casual dating visual novel or something like that, BUT THIS IS ART, THE HUMOR, THE ART, THE ENDINGS. When I released the first ending ''4'' I was tempted to see the others and other actions, and I don't regret anything playing at 3 in the morning
I loved this so much! Talaiporia is such an amazing character: I’d love to see more of this fantastic all-powerful being in future games! I legitimately laughed during this, and was also very curious to see how these two met each other? In either case, wonderful job! The characterization was spot-on, and the dialgoue was a joy to read. Have a great day!
Thank you! I'm happy to say that Hendrik and Talaiporia will be in the game I'm currently working on, NonPlatonic Forms. I've been drawing some side comics while working on it, and they've shown up in them occasionally. Here's one that's particularly relevant:
I adore Hendrik and Talaiporia. They are absolutely the strangest couple, but they work well together. Hendrik's upbeat attitude and love of punishment was... strangely refreshing. His determination to make the whole date good was really cute(? Maybe cute isn't the right word for it... Since he was kind of awful in his own way, but he sure was interesting!) He just tried so hard to please Talaiporia. However, I think for me, it was Talaiporia who stole the show. She was snarky and mean and had the worst (best) attitude. She makes me think an awful lot of a grumpy cat, and I loved it! Not to mention, her design is superb! (I may be biased, however. As a lover of monsters and eldritch beings, sometimes my opinion sways in favor the monstrous characters 😅)
I'll definitely have to check out your other visual novels sometime. I loved May I Take Your Order?, and I'm certain I'll enjoy some of your other visual novels as well. (I've been especially eyeing Nonplatonic Forms... and your Lupin the Third fangames, since I like Lupin III a lot.)
Thank you so much, and I look forward to checking out your let’s play! Talaiporia is a ton of fun to write for, and she and Hendrik are a joy to have bounce off each other. 😁
And I hope you have fun with some of the others later! Hendrik and Talaiporia have a significant role in NonPlatonic Forms, and I’m looking forward to continuing to go more in-depth with their history and how much trouble Talai can make when she’s let loose in public!
Aah, thank you! I hope my let's play has done your VN justice! Talai definitely seems like a fun character to write for, and she and Henrik are just too much fun. You gave them great chemistry (in their own way 😂)
I'm definitely looking forward to their role in NonPlatonic forms, and I'm looking forward to getting to see their history more in-depth (I'm sincerely curious as to how they met!)
This game gave me some good internal laughs and I felt so sorry for him, but then I saw that he can be worse than her, besides a tremendous masochist lmao
This game was cute then it got creepy and then I got hungry aha. Loved the multiple menu choice and the fact that you could go back on your previous one. It seemed so innocent then whatever I did ended in Hendrik being pushed into a flaming cart by his lover.. you need to play the game to believe. Starts at 02:06:42 until the end!
Thank you very much! Sometimes I wonder if my older games hold up, so it's nice to get to remember that Hendrik and Talai still get to be full of life in this version, too! ^u^
Thank you so much for playing it, I enjoyed hearing you read through! Good luck with your channel, indie game LPers are my go-to while drawing for VNs, so it's nice to see the cycle of "art creating art" continuing! ^u^
This was so fun!! Huge fan of all things eldritch horror so I fell in love with this at first sight. Hendrik and Talaiporia are insanely fun together, learning bits and pieces about their history and seeing them play off eachother was so entertaining, they're both really well characterised within a relatively short time frame. Really looking forward to the next one!! Best of luck with it
Excellent game. Played it a few months ago and it hit the spot just right, so I decided to translate it to spanish.
I worked on it on and off and finally finished! So here you go: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NO1jA_J_N6G-z1ckuLuYQCNhsROt5Zg-?usp=sha... (I only tested it on Linux so idk if it works on Windows but if the scripts are the same it should. Also I didn't include the Mac version since it has a different file structure compared to the other two builds for some reason)
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of art and comedy! I hope it reaches many more :D
PS: So, spanish has many variations and I tend to mix them up on purpose since I find it richer than using conventional neutral spanish. Rest assured though that any spanish speaker will understand it just fine regardless haha. - Talaiporia speaks in softly archaic/european spanish. - The "me" switches between formal/neutral to informal/argentine spanish. - Hendrik tends to stick to formal/neutral but may let slip a few informalities probably also in argentine.
Oh my GOODNESS, this is so cool! I actually have next Tuesday scheduled to get a Spanish translation of The Jig Is Up posted to the site, as well, and the dude working on it was JUST TALKING this morning about his choices on where to use Argentine Spanish. Like, specifically for characterization reasons! Very seriously, whether you ever want to do another translation or not, if you'd like to chat with some other translators, it would be an absolute joy to have you in our discord: https://discord.gg/AEFwFw7Wed
I'm downloading the file right now, and I will add it to my schedule to work on on Tuesday! Thank you so much for the hard work that you put into this! Have you already added yourself to the credits? If not, let me know the name you'd like to be credited as, and I'll be more than happy to put it in!
Haha niiice what are the odds??? Awesome man sure I'll join. I didn't add myself but you can add me as Antonio DLC, just like my itch.io username, it's an honor man thanks : D
Omg I loved this game so much! It's super unique, though part of me wishes there were more games like this as it was so amazing. A lot of people are asking how to get each ending so here are some clues (albeit pretty obvious ones): 1. Injure Hendrik- if u can't figure out how, try getting him stabbed with the steak knife (true ending) 2. Make Talaiporia upset 3. Try ur best to die 4. Try ur best to survive 5. Send Talaiporia to sleep with one of the desserts
I liked this immensely. Art, story, pacing and immersiveness (I found the slight path variations plus multiple endings with a couple hard endings splendidly balanced). I find it hard to find engaging games as of late and this one managed to hit the spot just right.
This was so much fun and super great! The relationship between Hendrik and Talaiporia was both hilarious and sweet and finding out more about her and the other dimension was good world building and incentivised playing the game multiple times! The art was super nice and the music set the tone well! Such a well made story and novel, if there's ever a sequel or an extended story, would love to play that one day. Really great job on it!

Update: I just got to the part where you could order a live lobster for Talaiporia. The way her face filled with joy made me smile :>
I can understand why Hendrik would commit medical malpractice for her, honestly

10/10 game
This was a sincerely funny (and gory) experience!

Funny and cute. Love Hendrick as a character.
Quite the career.
Whaahoo! All endings baybe! Hendrick is a huge mood. this was so fun!
This game gave me some good internal laughs and I felt so sorry for him, but then I saw that he can be worse than her, besides a tremendous masochist lmao
Me being the pyromanic that I am: I shall now present the Eldritch Thing with the Fire meal

Absolutely ADORED the quirky characters-they were so fun to watch playing off of each other! Especially love the character poses and expressions.
Thank you very much! Sometimes I wonder if my older games hold up, so it's nice to get to remember that Hendrik and Talai still get to be full of life in this version, too! ^u^
I loved the game i just wish for a continuation of the two characters though.
This horror game was surely interesting... The way the characters were portrayed was unique compared to the norm which is refreshing. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Did she just eat his face?!?! | May I Take Your Order(ALL ENDINGS)
Thank you!
Thank you so much for checking it out! Good luck with the channel!

Beautiful little game with nice art and a fun storyline! Very much enjoyed :)
got ending 4
TALAIPORIA MARRY ME PLEASE
I liked this immensely.
Art, story, pacing and immersiveness (I found the slight path variations plus multiple endings with a couple hard endings splendidly balanced).
I find it hard to find engaging games as of late and this one managed to hit the spot just right.
Thank you so much for making this!
I chuckled seeing "Rough sex"
Wow! Great game, and surprisingly sweet! I got ending 4 playing naturally, and ending 5 trying to do a bad job. I'm pleased with what I got ^^
i also got ending 4 playing naturally lol
did this dude get aroused from her breaking his finger???????
What a cute and funny game! The completionist in me is out to get every ending now, but a first play through to ending five! Loved this very much <3
This game was great. It was really funny, and I really liked how Talaiporia was shown to care for Hendrik in her own really strange way.
i love it i love it i love it !!!!
in my unpopular opinion, talaiporia is gorgeous and i would take her on a date, no matter the damage to my bones lmao
the character style is so pretty, and the story is hilarious :)
This was so much fun and super great!
