The game itself doesn't open
Can you tell me how to open the game?

Hello. Just extract the zip and open MyDahlia.exe

It works on mine (windows). Have you tried the web version?

I haven't played yet but I saw the name and was like oh my god, it's me. My name's Dahlia and this is the second game I've seen with my name.

EDIT: Just played. And damn. Amazing game, but wow, wasn't expecting this.

Let me guess, the first one was ace attorney?

Actually no, but there's three I guess. I forgot about ace attorney, I did know about it though. There's a game on here that is literally just called Dahlia.

Thank you for playing!!

I love the art for this. Epic visual novel!

Thank you for playing!

I was falling in love with Edmund due to his character design but only to be cut short by the twist (dammit!) Short story with an open ending. And you've done all of this in 5 hours? Amazing! Love this kind of story <3 Good job!

Thank you for playing!!

That's how he got his prey~

This was a lovely game! The music track was enchanting, the art was absolutely gorgeous (really, both Colette and Edmund were beautiful; I loved the variations of Edmund's CG and Colette's was a spectacle of sheer beauty!). The narrative was also very interesting: I can tell there is world-building beyond this game and I'm interested in seeing more of it (I saw you had another game from The Witches Saga, I'll have to play this one!). But beyond that, this story was a short yet impactful narrative about a grim reality alas: the way victims of abuse, through manipulations, and in the mist of their feelings, become willing prisoners of their toxic partners. Congrats on making it in 36 hours!!

Uwaa!! Thank you so much for playing!

To be honest, I've been struggling with choosing BGM. Glad I chose the suitable one. Thank you for your comment!!
