honeydewcomplex: SLF

hehehee yayyy yayyyy hehe were all making honeydew together hehe ^-^

i love this so much. the crochet assets are so gorgeous, the sprites and cgs are lovely, and the music is fun and really sets the tone. callie is the most normal college girl ever. i loved her expressions from the start, especially her blank eyed ones that clued in a sense of something being amiss with her. it was fun watching things pan out and her quickly becoming worse. i remember gasping when the roommate was revealed and her appearance resembled that of the bug girl's.

to cope with the idea of hurting a type of creature she respects, she has replaced its image with a cutesy busty babbling simulacrum of her human roommate...much to think about

*playing honeydew complex: slf and nodding my head the whole time so everyone knows i agree*

that was AMAZING, i loved the crochet assets and the way you integrated the phone and the story had me captivated until the end, Callie is such a well written character, the final texts are going to stay with me for a long time
excellent work from everyone who made this

Incredible work. I was surprised by this one, going from sick and enjoyable bug-smashing to illuminating familiar (to me) themes. These things shouldn’t be here, says Callie.

This rules. The visuals aand music and EVERYTHING .. It's all awesome. Random times I played I did think about college quite a bit. It's very easy to imagine these situations or even meeting someone like Callie or accidentally viewing myself as similar to Callie (as a weird girl who is pitied by roommates).

Really well put together.. Callie's expressions are fantastic. Despite being harrowing, it also made me giggle at many different points. I just really love you Callie.

The escalation over the course of the acts and reveals about Callie were very good and surprising !!! REALLY GOOD WORK FROM EVERYONE!!

the music? the art? the gui? holy shit what a combo of cool shit crafted together to make HDC. the story left a pit in my stomach that knew where it was headed and it only got worse from there. cool as hell in literally every aspect ever!!

callie's a real weirdo and i love her so much!!!!!!

I am obsessed with the crocheted assets and the overall art direction of this game. Everything works so perfectly together and the changing cursors were so delightful. The audio was perfect, totally obsessed. The flow of the narrative structure was jaw-dropping, it's all so seamless and really kept things propelling forward.

Amazing game with amazing craftsmanship, top notch work from everyone involved. I love how you all managed to turn the somewhat silly premise into a genuinely harrowing story. The utter discomfort that permeates the story, especially when Alia returns is amazingly done and the escalation into the end is really well done. I'm definitely gonna think about this game whenever I see a spotted lanternfly around in public now lol

incredible work. i love stories where i get a sense of the POV character's true thoughts about the people they surround themselves with and honeydew complex executes this very well. 

great use of the three-act structure, as it escalates in its brutality and reveals callie's true nature. going to think about the final text scene between her and aila forever.

Wow that kept going and escalting further. I thought seeing her room mate was a big shock but the paths leading forward made me hit a wall even harder each time.

I wasnt expecting to leave a comment here but DAMN, this was incredible. Thank you for making the best game that is LITERALLY impossible to recommend "no no guys its not weird kink shit, I mean it is? but its not written in a way for you to enjoy it, its like, character focused and shit and an interesting narrative about a DEEPLY fucked up woman" 

Reading this was a blast. I love the way the GUI is used. It was very creative, and the storytelling was compelling and gut-wrenching. It was a very fun read! 

I love the usage of the cursor changing whenever a scene comes up to show Callie's state of mind and actions. It was really a unique design choice that a lot of the other comments have mentioned. I wonder if the designs were really intentional, to say the least.

Overall, a fun piece of work with cute girls  <3

Utterly amazing work, I think it will stick in my head for a long long time forming a sooty mold and attracting unwanted pests.

This is just so well executed on every level, like others have said there are just so many beautiful little details that really show just an insane amount of polish and consideration for the project. You can literally flick the phone screen with your mouse and it will slide realistically like what in the actual fuck (positive)

The art is SO gorgeous the character designs and expressions the color palette and mixed media UI, the quality just speaks for itself. (shout-out to that special blinking animation for [redacted] so friggin adorable)

The sfx were so delicious and the music tracks were all bangers lulling me into a type of hypnotic frenzy that matched the tone perfectly.

The story is so wild and fun and surprising and titillating and disgusting I loved it.

Oh my god this is so good, you simply must play it.

A really beautiful artistic vision executed upon so well, a soundscape that wraps its hand around your whole body and squeezes (complimentary), and a story aimed directly at the center of my technically beating, lukewarm heart. 

Arthropod VN solidarity. 

LOVED THIS... VERY MUCH!!! what a really nice tapestry... i think the sort of maximalist design fits the game's atmosphere super well, as we sink into callie's world. and it was so finely tuned holy cow! i loved all the little details like being able to scroll in the phone, the sort of hover parallax effect with the bg, the loads of perfect and delicious expressions, callie tightening that yarn around her finger during the text convo w aila early on, the cursor changes... dude like i could go on forever. the cursor change was particularly ero in how it in a really small but effective way involved the player. i was also so gagged at the ending, so well timed... but all in a super compelling snapshot of a very cute girl stumbling very hard as she connects some dots. LOVE! also the playlist is genius (kai please put this on bandcamp...)
