Twitch Twitch is the world

But, the blossoming relationship between the two characters was adorable. I loved the switch between both of their perspectives. I cannot wait for the rest of the story!

🖤 So, I forgot to post my promo for this, but I played the demo Alex's Journey to the Grave. It was a very realistic description of depression, anxiety, and self-blame. It got a bit triggering at times, especially in regards to self-harm.

✨Alex's Journey to the Grave is in the Steam Visual Novel Fest!✨

AJG is an emotional, heartfelt romance VN with plenty of cute and intimate moments, but that doesn't hesitate to face uncomfortably dark or sensitive topics head-on.

The demo is out and free to play right now!!!

We are DONE with the demo! This game destroyed my expectations and then I cried all over chat and talked about mental health. It's such a heartfelt and authentic depiction of mental health issues.

Go wishlist the full game and play the demo! You will LOVE it!
