Nvm the weekend, I couldn’t contain my curiosity and played it right away. After playing it, I’m even more curious about the main game now?? There were so many hints and reveals that piqued my interest in Heart Cage even further!

2025 can’t come fast enough. <3

Thank you for making this Patreon-exclusive DLC available for everyone. <3 Just bought it and will give it a go this weekend.

Please note that the full game will be in development until Q4 of 2025.

Despite its shortness, it’s a really great game. The atmosphere and Art were great, and Marcelo’s even greater, hehe.

With what little clues were available though, I do wonder if MC Themself isn’t secretly messed up? 👀 Brandan was obv head over heels for MC, but MC wanted to get rid of him minor inconveniences, and they even thought of dragging their best friend into this? Wow wow wow…

Really would have loved to find out what other clues/info are hidden in the phone. I assume it’s something related to Marcelo? Since the diary has MC as the focus and the scrapbook sheds some light on Brandan, I mean.

And I can’t help but doubt the claim that brandan actively wanted to kill Mc. It sounds more like we got into a bad accident (maybe due to Brandan’s recklessness or whatever), but from Marcelo’s view it’s all the same, whether Brandan got MC hurt on purpose or not.

いいえ、いいえ、とんでもありません！bbboxxxさんの攻略ガイドを翻訳したんだけです。

むしろお礼を言うべきは私の方です。bbboxxxさんが攻略をアップしていなかったなら、私も大変だったと思います。(^^;)

(English, because I’m not sure if my Japanese was correct;;;;)

No need to thank me! I simply translated your guide. :)
If anything, I am the one who should be thanking you. If you hadn’t shared the strategy guide on your website, I’d have had a hard time clearing the game as well. n_n;

I see some people struggling with getting all four endings so I’ll go ahead and translate the linked guide for those who need it. The guide is pretty spoiler-free imo.

Ending 1: 

1. click 3x on the milk
2. choose to drink the milk

Ending 2: 

1. click 3x on the milk
2. flip the plate
3. click the clothes —> then talk to Sasagawa
4. click the milk once
5. click the picture on the wall —> then talk to Sasagawa
6. click the collar —> then talk to Sasagawa
7. click the collar again
8. click the milk twice
9. flip the plate
10. click the milk once
11. throw the milk

Ending 3: 

• same steps as Ending 2 EXCEPT you need to flip the plate twice before investigating the room as instructed above! you’ll know you are on the right way when you get a CG after you flipped the plate a second time

Ending 4: 

• you need to unlock Ending 1-3 first
• same steps as Ending 3 until the final choice where instead of throwing the milk you’ll have to pick to drink the milk

面白かった！佐々河くん、なんて可愛い変態だね(笑

ブラウザ版してくれてありがとうございます。

Thanks a lot!!

Hopefully, any interested people here on itch.io will see this first before sinking their money into it.

Also filed a report. Let’s see if/when itch.io will react.

Could you, or any other backer that still lurks here, perhaps copy-paste what the update says? The post is only available for backers, but if the project is indeed cancelled, maybe it would be better to post it in the comments to warn potential itch.io customers.

The title of that update is “[…] Upcoming Updates/Content + Continuing” so it sounds more like the project is still alive and kicking.

And with an “official” cancellation statement like that, maybe this project can be reported to itch.io and taken down so no more people will be scammed. (although this sadly isn’t the first nor will it be the last game here that’s forever up and keeps taking “pre-orders” even though the devs have long moved on or vanished…)

Oh wow, I didn’t know there was a Kickstarter planned! Sad I missed the Early Bird tiers, but super happy it got funded so quickly! Congrats, congrats!!

And my coward self is very relieved to see the game won’t contain any jumpscares. :’)

IT’S HERE!!!!!!!!!
