Warning! : This game has some slightly suggestive contents (blood, many eyes, etc.) and some service scenes(at the same level as bikini scene so I think the game should be considered sfw)

This game is a Visual Novel game with a length of about 15 to 20 minutes (per ending—so it actually takes some time to get all of them). It’s about an MC who wakes up in their room and encounters a tall mysterious woman. He must date her to survive. The game incorporates elements of both Dating Sim and analog horror (at least, that's what I'm going for), featuring a total of 10 possible endings.(I don't recommend you to find all at once) All endings based on "Interest Meter", so you need to be aware of it. Hope you enjoy!
Note : I created this game myself within 7 days (to challenge myself. Also it's actually more than that now since I update a lot) and had no prior coding experience—just some skill in drawing. If there are any mistakes, I sincerely apologize. Please let me know if you find any issues or any ideas for improvement!

Why is this under the ai generated tag?
This platform asks whether any AI was used in the development process. I did use tools like ChatGPT for coding help and some suggestions while making this game. However, all the ideas, dialogue, and art were done by me, no AI-generated images were used. I marked the AI box to be fully transparent, so if anyone prefers to avoid games that involved AI in any way, I completely understand and hope you for the best!🙏🙏

เกมนี้เป็นเกม Visual Novel ความยาวประมาณ 15 ถึง 20 นาที (ต่อ 1 ฉากจบครับ ดังนั้นถ้าอยากเก็บครบก็นานหน่อยครับ) เกี่ยวกัยคนคนหนึ่งที่ตื่นขึ้นมาในห้องของตนและได้พบเจอกับหญิงสาวปริศนา เขาต้อง date กับเธอเพื่อพยายามเอาชีวิตให้รอด เกมนี้พยายามใส่กลิ่นอายของเกม Dating-sim และ analog horror โดยมีอยู่ทั้งหมด 10 ฉากจบ เกมจะขึ้นอยู่กับ "Interest meter" เป็นหลักครับ
เกมนี้ผมทำขึ้นคนเดียวภายใน 7 วัน(ตอนนี้เกินละครับ) และไม่มีประสบการณ์การเขียนโค้ดมาก่อน บวกพอวาดภาพเป็น หากมีข้อผิดพลาดใดๆหรือไอเดียบอกได้เสมอครับ!
