I loved this sequel, but I WANT YOU TO PAY FOR MY THERAPY! First of all, why is Rick's route so sad? Even in the good ending, my boy deserved more than just going off to war—I just wanted to see him happy and safe with Alex far away from all that... Then there's Damian, still a shameless scoundrel in every route, LOL. But in that bad ending, seeing how their relationship was supposed to be more, how even Damian himself is sad about how things will end but hides it so well, is so painful. It hurts even more because he's my favorite, but at least in the good ending they can't keep away from each other, which makes me happy. <3
Monty's route was cool too, but I think I see him in an even more twisted light now—especially since he pretty much lets Alex die, or almost die, every time, LMAO!
Mwhahaha! I'm sorry?
Just joking! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the stories, even if they were a bit sad sometimes.
Damian ha vuelto, menos mal que he visto que hay más joyitas de este juego. Tendrá que ser en inglés, pero allá que voy
Sí, lo siento, no me da la vida para traducirlo todo, pero en cuanto pueda: lo tengo pendiente!
me still avoiding to play this cause i dont want it to end
Aaaaw, don't be like that! It's extra content, and every route has an open ending (except for the bad ends, of course). I'll try to write more stories for the boys, but it will probably be in pdf and not in VN form (sorry!)
the fourth picture from the left is what convince me to buy this game > < the only regret is that this game is over TT
Anyway, Ertal you're gorgeous human being! You bless us with another amazing, lovely bl games!! and another content of Damian ;D!! Thank you so muchh!
Aaaw, your comment made my day!
Tengo el corazón medio roto 😭Aunque era el final bueno de Rick, el trasfondo de la guerra y el que el juego se termine sin saber seguro qué pasará luego hace que quede un sabor agridulce
Es difícil cerrar definitivamente una historia con un final feliz, sabiendo desde el futuro todo lo que se les viene encima a estos chicos... Pero Rick es un chico listo, y estoy segura al 100 % de que volverá a casa sano y salvo ;)

¿El juego es corto? ¿ O es largo como el primero?
Es corto, unas 30k palabras en total, y las historias no tienen opciones (es lo que se llama una novela kinética).
En cuanto acabe de traducir My Burning Heart me pongo con ello 😘
Muchas gracias <3
*sniffles*
And with that, it's over. I'm going to miss you, Alex, Damian, Rick, and Morty. =tear=
Another awesome after story! Thank you, Ertal.... you spoil us :-).
<3
Is there anyway i can buy it with my card? I don't have a pp account and, honestly, i don't want to, 'cuz it looks like i need to sacrifice my firstborn to create one (눈_눈)
Hahaha! Paypal supports paying with your credit card; you don't need an account.
Finally))) I thought I'll never see that again, but voila! - and I'm happy)
Thank you! The next one will be added as soon as my proofreader finishes with it!
=excited=
I can't wait to see what Rick has in store for us.
This is one of my favourite gay visual novels out there.
If I'll buy key here could I add dlc in Steam? Because I have A Hand of Darkness at Steam (aaand some other your games, by the way they are really awesome, thank you very much)))
And you really must create more games, your masterpieces are so fun, interesting and never gave me creepy feeling))))
Thank you for your kind words!
Sadly, A Hand in the Darkness has been banned from Steam, so I can't post any updates or DLCs there.
Could we change this somehow or it is essentially?((
Steam's decision is final, sorry.
I really love this game! But I have some doubts... Will have Rick after ending? And will you translate the game to spanish?
Yes and... I don't know.
Crees que habrá gente interesada?
Estoy segura de que si, hay mucha gente que no suele jugar este tipo de juegos debido al idioma, que casi siempre suelen estar en ingles. Además, ya que la primera parte de AHitD esta en español, estaría bien poner esta también. Cuando jugué AHitD yo no sabía ingles, y realmente agradezco que este en español, si no fuera por eso, probablemente no hubiera jugado, ¡y eso que actualmente es uno de mis boys love game favoritos!
Entonces... ¿Considerarás traerlo en español?
Bueno, sí. Pero cuando acabe de traducir My Burning Heart, jajaja! No me da la vida!
Hahah okay, gracias, y no sabia que estabas traduciendo My burning heart, encantada de volverlo a jugar con su traducción!
Hablas español? Mi español es demasiado por asistirlo traducir sus juegos muy maravillosos.
Hahaha, yes, I'm from Spain!
Really? I'm envious! I went to Barcelona and absolutely loved it... such good food and great sights. =sigh= I wish I could live in Spain or the Netherlands.
I'm a Canadian working in Chile.... I spent a year in Hawaii, though, a few years back and am hoping to move back there.
Yay, I currently live in Barcelona! ^_^
I can't wait to see what the bad Rick after ending will be....
Can i get a refund?
Sure, I'll look for your email on the sales list and refund it via Paypal.
Sorry, I can't find any email that resembles your user name. Can you write me to ertal77@hotmail.com?
Absolutely I sent the email rn, my email is jeremyfuentes67@gmail.com thank you for responding!
Really looking forward to this.
