Aaaaaaa I loved this. SPOILERS
The flashes of something supernatural that is hinted is so interesting. And I loved figuring out that the animal Jim carves for you can change based on what you do. Can't wait to see where the story is going!
Oh yeah this is was good, I for sure will play if there is more.
alguien sabe el por que no se a actualizado este juego o si es que hay retrasos ???
day threeeee pleeasseee
This is so cool i legit cannot get enough
I'll give my money to this when I get paid, soon yayyy
I loove how sometimes Jim can be sweet and adorable towards MC, (yet those little creepy remarks give away the creep vibes just in the right way).
Tho, i have a little headcanon that for 100% he has to make himself a lot of groats, cuz duuh, not only is it easy to make but also it's caloric so you'll be full wihtout much effort.
+his cooking is good, and so is his butcher skills (+ hunting(?)) !!!
Hope you'll keep going with this game and do not forget about ur little fans :D
good game bro!!!
loove the vibe of this game, can't wait for the other days! <3
Una completa obra de arte <33
LOVE so well thought out I NEED MORE CANT WAIT
i love this game so much, i adore jim!! i am in DESPERATE NEED for more days :((( take ur time!!1
THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!
I did not expect it to be so fun, but it is truly captivating. I'm completely charmed by Jim ♥. The mystery with him and the entity in the woods is really intriguing.
Thank you so much for this game! I can't wait for more! :D
I keep thinking about this game, it's so good.
im so desperate for day 3 ughghgughghhghg! love jim so bad
i love this soooo much
Waaaah love it so much! I download just because I was bored and it was soo gooood! Hoping to be more chapters soon, I love Jim so much he is sooo cool and awkward <3
this has so much potential I really hope you decide to finish thiss!!!
I get the yandere vibes, and I like the hints at something supernatural going on. I do hope this gives the option for a soft yandere route, because I am all about leaning into the crazy man's devotion rather than trying to run away. XD
I really can't bear to refuse Jim—he's just too lovable.
is amazing i can't wait for day3!!
Played the game, did a few routes, and I love it so much!!!! I didn't expect it, but the fact that the carving can change depending on how "mean" you are is gen so cool!!!! I love this game already and I'm so happy you continued it!! Peak indeed!
to add, I've never seen a game have moving sprites before! Like the blinking or actually seeing his hand move, very neat!!
IM DYING FOR DAY 3 AGHGHHHHH
this is so good. the whole story, the art and everything!!! stunning work♥♥♥
Finally getting around to doing this review. "Chilling Devotion" already had me hooked with the game page alone. You can get an idea by the title alone what kind of game this is going to be. And the way it conveys that atmospheric and ambient environment is...well, chilling. One minute I feel safe and cozy in a cabin for two, to feeling isolated and paranoid of what might be lurking in those woods. I'm eager to see how Jim develops throughout our time with him. Compared to other yanderes, Jim's mannerisms and character feels more natural, more real? Really like the game so far, can't wait for the next update.
I ADORE THIS GAMEEE !! the art is sososo stunning & the storyline is so intriguing ! ineedjimsobad.... can not WAIT for day 3 !!!!
I LOVE ITTTT
I've already replayed the two days so many times now...I NEED MOREEEEEE
I really enjoyed this, and now im REALLY interested. Im waiting for continue.
I really enjoyed this. Great atmosphere and tension. Can't wait for more.
Ojala salga el dia 3 pronto..
This game touched me; it's such a good slow burn Novel. Hopefully Day 3 comes out before I replay Day 2 for the millionth time. Though, it doesn't seem like it's been updating frequently... Hope the devs come back this year!
Gurl, I'm begging, day 3 when?
we need more
fr
does anyone know when day 3 comes out?
I absolutely loved it♡,it's made with love♡.The background music, the ambient sounds, the gorgeous backgrounds, the super interesting story, and of course, Jim is both beautiful and mysterious guy♡. I wish best regards for your development and thank you for such excellent work.♡

I am soooo glad to have stumbled across this visual novel. It's visually pleasing as it is dark and disturbing. I can't wait for more days to be added!!

I need moreeee!! please let the next update be soon!! please!! I am in love!!!1
