This is a very wonderful entry! First of all, I love the art, both the sprite and the background. I also truly enjoyed the story and the interpreation of roses. There was something very bittersweet, yet romantic and painful in this game. The protagonist's will to see roses was very touching, and the demon's relationship to them was very conflicting! Congrats on the entry!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! I accidently have gained many people's sorrows from this game :''D Genuinely didn't mean to make it sadder than I had planned it to be. I'm glad it touched you and you were able to enjoy playing it though!

That was so sad but so heartwarming

I hope he gets his happy ending, whether it is the peace of heaven's welcoming or someone to pacify his worries
