Community Insight:
This is like the best game ever created we love the game so much and we love that it has Japanese content too and we love the way it grows up and that it feels like our child when it grows up its just like what parents feel they see they newborn turn into a toddler and then a child.
Its just good, just dont play if you have of a fear of Japanese dolls lol.
Our daughter Is our life and soul.
THIS GAME IS SO WELL WRITTEN IT MADE ME CRY.
We GOT SUPER ATTACHED TO THIS CUTE DOLL!! CAN BE A BIT EXCESSIVE BUT ITS STILL AWESOME.
The game is a horror but we love to see our baby always!! But we have a question Is this based off a Okiku doll.
Oh man we used to be so scared of this game back then cuz we used to hate horror we also didnt know how to get a lot of candles back then but playing this game now, oh we feel so smart now and this game is so awesome we love it! The doll is our child now and we love it sm :c it makes us wanna cry when she calls us mommy its so cute (yeah we know Im a little dramatic but this game is peak).
Im attached to our baby we love her shes our child we wont let the jujuju hurt her ever again.
Oh our god we played this game when we were a 7 year old girl it's so nostalgic… And we would really like you to create a similar game with the same vibe of Japan and such mysterious Japanese traditional dolls! We love Japan and everything connected with it, although we know little, living in Russia. In general, it's just a miracle, we adore the developer of this game.
Bro that doll is our BIGGEST hear us out!! Im a woman too and watching her grow was the best!!!! But heres some stuff we noticed cuz when she was growing our she was wearing a blue kimono then turned red like this game is 10 because it successfully scared us. So skibidi sigma we wanna rizz up the doll!!! Best game.
When we first laid eyes on the game, we thought it would be cute but when we started playing. Anyways five stars.
Our daughters name is Natsuki (based on a Japanese name) and even when she gets scary we still love her and accept her letters! We love her forever and we're already attached.
We have been playing this nonstop for the past day or two. We have gotten the first two endings already. We named our daughter Maria. Even when we get all the endings Im just going to keep going because we love her so much. Thats our precious baby.
Okay… We are right now in delusion mode and we do not understand anything that the questions is because is all kanji… Please add translation to english in delusion mode please… We fail every single question to grow our doll, we think the jujuju hates us.
Pls make our baby happy we love so much we can't stand seeing her sad.
We can honestly say this game was worth the wait to complete the doll.
This is game is absolutely wonderful if youre looking for heart to heart type of stuff mixed with horror and mythology (is it saying something that we felt genuinely bad when we did the rejection route?) Keep your work up, developers. Yall cooked.
It was not scary, but still we could evolve our doll into these cool little things. We loved it so much. We would recommend getting all the endings all three starter endings to get embrace ending 10 out of 10 on a scale or 10 is the best.
This game traumatized us with the ending R.we.P because we felt like something or someone was watching us ever sincebut this game was awesome and very creativeI just dont know if we can ever go back to itandju.ju.juI feel them nowwhere ever we go. But it IS a horror game so thats how we know it is a great game!!!!!! We wish we could give this game 6+ stars.
We loved our child sm shes was so adorable then lulu came and AAAGHHH our baby :(.
Better than all the games on the app store and whoever is giving 1 star you should jump and kys.
Its soo scary especially the end but its so so satisfying.
We feel so bad for the doll all becuase of jujuju.
Please translate delusion mode to English.
This game is actually so fire, we have been with her the past year and at the end we started crying. We 10/10 we would 100% recommend.
This is the best game idc we love cuz the storyline is awsome and so cool get this game NOW.
Shes ours not yours we embraced her so now we rise. If you embrace her to you will rise.
We played this game for the first time when we were little so it was very nostalgic and the EN version makes it easier to play, we beat the game, Im very attached to this doll, PLEASE make a EN Delusion version we would love to play it.
We got so attached to this doll that we considered it our online child no we dont need therapy anyway our sis thought it was a weird ahh game but we love it! It starts with a small doll but we love how it grows into a pretty girl. But, the twist of jujuju is amazing! Great work devs (plz respond).
Shes the most cute kid ever but she made us cry shes growing up so fast.
We love horror and decided to check it out but it said we are together and we thought:/ we could always delete it but 5 star.
So we usually dont like horror stuff especially dolls but this one just HITS DIFFERENT! Its like Im not even scared and it really easy. Im very weirdly obsessed with this game we definitely recommend.
1st of all growing the doll with candles? And then after every evolution it wrights a note always starting with mommy mommy and then the notes are a bit normal in the beginning but then it goes to saying really sad and creepy stuff also the evolution is making the doll look really creepy but we love this game even though it gives us nightmares.
When we first got this game and we put it on English we quickly got attached to it by playing the mini games you will love it right from the start. We are attached to this game we were looking for this game and we found it. This game is cute but creepy as we said you will get quickly attached when you first play the mini games if you are Japanese set it to Japanese. If you are English set it to English. We are going to say this a third time this game will get you quickly attached byeeeee.
We love this game we love creepy things and if you do to get this! We cried over jujuju taking our baby :(.
Amazing game keep up the good work.
This app is beautifully made. The doll is presented as your child, and the way you watch it grow up is probably what hurts the most. Many of the endings hurt the child, though one is truly embracing them. We actually really loved this game, and we wish the delusion route would gain an English translation.
Before we had it on english mode we didn't think to much of the notes fast forward to 2024 where we downloaded this seeing it had english mode we put it on english mode read the notes at first we were like awww then uhhh not until we did the tolerance end we realized that the hug ending is to save it (how we know its the hug ending we google translated the options) also we're terrified of the r.we.p end Great game.
WHAT DOES WARM UP MEAN TO DO AND HOW DO we GET THE GOOD ENDING LOVE THIS GAME -RAYNE.
We remember playing this game as a kid on the school bus. The presentation is captivating, albeit a bit juvenile. Every part of this game acts to create a beautiful work of art. 5/5.
Such a great little game with so many stages of life. An atmospheric emotional experience that you love. If you love j-horror Asian horror in general this game is for you highly recommended.
Its a good but long game, we like that its a horror-ish game that doesnt rely on gore. Its a good game thats a wonderful experience. The endings are well written and arent overly complex or dramatic! One of the things we love is that it breaks the 4th wall, like it knows its an app that people can download. We definitely recommend installing this app.
GOOGLE TRANSLATE IS GETTING TIRED OF ME!! PLEASE KEEP ADDING ENGLISH TRANSLATION!! Otherwise amazing game, except it gave our friends nightmares… Idc honestly. But we just finished like- the first 4 endings and it won't translate into english send help, or duo will for us.
It incorporates the player as a part of the game. You typically dont see horror games like this.
Im gonna be so real with you guys, we enjoy this game a lot. We downloaded it last summer and finished the whole game then we forgot about it. We just now remembered it. We really like creepy and eerie things and it was always fun to see what the doll would turn into next. In all this game is just really fun to play when your bored and have no WiFi.
When we first started playing we thought it was scary,but when we started playing more we got attached to our child,when the game ended for good after we got the last ending we thought it was over but we can replay again! RIGHT? No child will ever be better than Curse curse curse(thays her name btw!) Love,theoneandonly,BerCarKen.
Although its tome consuming time to get candles, its pretty interesting and we find it funny. When there is a time where we have to pray and the doll showing up, it glitches but we call them seizures. We dont know if its just us though. We feel like this game gives out a message, but we guess the take away would be Life goes on, but Death will come. And there is some themes we can interpret like, We can be ugly, we can be beautiful. Actually, were all beautiful. And being unforgiving towards someone. But overall, a nice simple, horror game. It gets scary, but in the end, it gets beautiful.
Theres literally nothing wrong with this. We chose reject and at the end it actually kinda made us cry BUT IT WAS AMAAAAAZING.
We found this app by watching laurenzsides video. Its creepy and fun and cool. Theres a point in the game where you get to choose your destiny. Youll eventually just go insane but its great.
