I only learned of this webtoon a few weeks ago from an anonymous fan suggesting it to me (I honestly don't read webtoons, there's just other things that draw my attention more). So, I'm not sure if this is meant as an accusation that this is stealing a concept from that story or if it's merely an observation, but I feel the need to point out either way that stories take inspiration from each other all the time (to that point, I am sure that webtoon, like my story, is inspired by Faustian pacts but that doesn't mean we're both stealing from Dr. Faustus). Even if I had read this webtoon and decided to write this (which is not the case) then cool. Who cares? There's a lot of other stories that did inspire this one, and I'd be happy to talk about that if you (or anyone else) is curious. :)
Yeah, they might not be, and I hope that my response didn't sound harsh or anything, but that's a sentiment/critique I've seen a lot online and really can't tell their intent with the text available. And thank you, there's more content on its way soon :)
I didn't mean it as an accusation, I'm sorry if it came off that way. I was only pointing out the similar feel it had, as it's one of my favorite webtoons. I'm looking forward to more updates! The writing so far is great, and the dynamic Tommy has with the demon sets it apart from other IF's I've read.
Zorlok is the MC and the one who's perspective the rest of the story will be told from, though there may be sections in the future (like the prologue) that allow the player to see Tommy's perspective. Those would most likely be flashbacks, specials, or Zorlok looking through Tommy's eyes (via their bond).
Honestly I'm a big fan of the new prologue. Other than just the fact that I think it's better, it feels a lot more in line with Tommy I think. He doesn't basically erase someone for his own sake, instead it's all cause of 1 single sentence basically that was a pure accident.
Hi! Hope you're doing well. I've been waiting so long for the continuation of this and the rewrite did NOT disappoint. The detail that you can not agree to giving your soul and "bumping into" the demon and -i think it's one of three RO's- it's such a nice detail and leaves some questions. All in all it was great, thank you for taking you time on doing this <3.
I'm really happy that you managed to finish the new prologue and can't wait for the next update. Take it easy tho, please don't stress yourself too much and have a nice day❤️
I loved the new prologue, the old one was more fun/funny with that unexpected command from Tommy, but new one is more dramatic and interesting. Liked the foreshadowing about memories and knowing the exact text of the contract added a sense of anticipation. Can't wait to see more
Although the wait felt like an eternity almost as if three years had passed I'm thrilled that the update has finally arrived. It’s exciting to see it making a comeback, and I can’t wait to see what future updates will bring.
Yes, but it's optional. There's 8 characters your MC can have a relationship with (you can find descriptions of them above, click on the names for their descriptions to appear 😊)
this was so fun! even though we just got past the introduction, i was already invested in the story. if you ever decide to continue it, i'll be here to read
I must confess to being a little disappointed that the story doesn't extend beyond the introduction and contract. All the fun stuff in a story like this happens after that.
The setup is nice, though, and I think if you continue this it could be a really good game. I sincerely hope you keep working on it or that when you do continue it, I don't entirely forget about it as I tend to do.
Great concept. Good writing. Very descriptive and excellent use of music and audio to set the mood. To a small degree it makes me think of Lost Odyssey's A Thousand Years of Dreams and how whenever you unlock a memory in Kaim's past, you would get these visually simple and blurred, but still quite beautiful backgrounds and sounds and music would play as you progressed. It was just enough to help keep your attention and your game does some of that. I think it's something more text-based games should really consider. Atmosphere is everything.
Good luck and I hope to hear from you again! Kudos on the interesting prologue and the massive amount of choice given. I'll keep this save somewhere I can see it often to remind me to come back someday.
It's not abandoned, I just don't get much time to work on it between my jobs and personal life (for reference, this release was worked on largely during quarantine and when I was a student, so I had far more free time and far fewer options of what to do with it, I ended up hyperfixating on writing for months). Some people's behavior/reactions have left me feeling uncomfortable, frustrated, and/or drained, so I don't really post or talk about it much anymore. But, this is still being worked on regularly. I'm excited to share what I've been working on with you all soon (hopefully, things can be unpredictable this time of year but I'm feeling confident, tentatively). Thank you for your interest (and hopefully your understanding), it really does mean a lot to me.
Ah no worries, completely understandable. Take all the time you need. The concept is honestly great, and the story, even if it isn't too much, is great till now!

WE ARE SOOO BACK ?!?!?!
This reminds me an awful lot of the Webtoon, Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell.

he probably isnt. Just pointing out it has same vibes. Honestly I loved this game and I was so sad it was just a demo. I really wanted more content

Oh I love the new prologue. So hooked by the ending!
We are so back. New ending is way better than the old one, can't wait for more.
IT'S BACK!!!
Woah it's back! Super excited to replay the prologue and can't wait for more
I am so happy this is back, it's amazing and I cannot wait for more!
NO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM!?
Love the new prologue and the reason that human error causes the demon to forget instead of Tommy intentionally doing it.
soo i named the hellhound giggleshitter mcgee and made the pronouns my bbg/my bbg and i couldnt take this seriously
you are my idol
FINALLY SOME GOOD FOOD ON MY 2025 MEDIA PALETTE
Just a small question I've gad since its first release. Are we Tommy or Zorlok? Or are we going to control both?
Zorlok is the MC and the one who's perspective the rest of the story will be told from, though there may be sections in the future (like the prologue) that allow the player to see Tommy's perspective. Those would most likely be flashbacks, specials, or Zorlok looking through Tommy's eyes (via their bond).
Awwww i loved this so much!!! So glad it's back! 💖💖💖

Im actually going to cry happy tears this is the best early birthday gift ever!
I love love *LOVE* the rewrite and YVGNTVTBHUCFYHYV i just cannot say how much i love this enough!!
Cannot wait for more! (Obviously no rush at all though!!!)
Aw, thank you :) And Happy early birthday!!

hi, is there going to be romance?
Yes, but it's optional. There's 8 characters your MC can have a relationship with (you can find descriptions of them above, click on the names for their descriptions to appear 😊)
this was so fun! even though we just got past the introduction, i was already invested in the story. if you ever decide to continue it, i'll be here to read
wishing you well, author and readers <3
as far as im aware this is still being continued, the author is just very busy right now, BUT! we should get an update soon(though this could change)
WOOHOO! thank you for informing me. this is great news :)

I'm curious, has this been abandoned? Cause I was honestly excited to actually get into it.
Seeing how its been 2 years with no update its a pretty high chance this is abandoned now (Which is sad because its such an interesting concept IMO)
It's not abandoned, I just don't get much time to work on it between my jobs and personal life (for reference, this release was worked on largely during quarantine and when I was a student, so I had far more free time and far fewer options of what to do with it, I ended up hyperfixating on writing for months).

Ah alright! i totally understand! No rush(⌒ᴗ⌒)☆
