Absolute Adoration
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Story
The wind cut through your jacket and numbed your nose. You- a tired college student- had woken up early this morning to head to class. Teeth brushed, jacket on, and books in bag, you go to the stop and wait for your bus.
…Except it still hasn’t arrived.
Out of the corner of your eye, you notice a boy waiting for the bus as well. He shyly introduces himself as Rai.
Who will Rai be to you and what will come from knowing him?
Features
- Nameable MC
- Ability to choose pronouns
- About 15-20 minutes per playthrough, depending on choices (Full-release will be longer)
- Two amazing friends
- Two days (Full-release will have 6 or so)

Heyyy! I loved the game. Rai is sooo cute - already in love.
This looks like is gonna be a good one! I can't wait for an update!
this is SO CUTE, I love the characters and the storyline hehehh!! but i've only reached 2 endings and for some reason it's really hard for me to reach the 3rd one..I was just wondering if you could (or wanted to) make a route for the endings?? also I hope you're feeling okay!! remember your health is more important ^^

Rai He IS SOOO CUUUTE DX I WANT MORE OF HIMMMMM!!!<3
I.WANNA.HUG.HIM
I . LOVE. THE BLUE HAIRED GUY.
I. NEED.MOREEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This game is so.. AAAAAAAAAA. I really loved this!! I can't wait for the full version to come out! Thank you for creating such master piece >:D
aaaaaaa hopefully this gets a full release as other too >< Support for u !!
Hey, I just wanted to know, are you still working on this project? I'm very invested in seeing this one in particular come to fruition. The vibes, characters, multiple-choice options, music and everything else are way too good for this to be a one-off demo thing, in my opinion.
If it's not too much effort on your part, would you mind confirming whether or not this is still under development? TY in advance!
Hi! Yes, I am still working on this project. There have been some delays in its progress due to personal reasons. Thank you for your patience and understanding as I keep working on it! I appreciate your support :)
I'm glad to hear that! Just the confirmation alone that this hasn't been abandoned makes me very happy! I'll be wishing you the best and looking forward to whenever the next update may be!
AHH!! I love the game! i absolutely cannot wait for the next day! I have a strange feeling about Rai but I managed to let it slide (for now... ): ). But I also love the Y/N's friends! Clara would be my favorite. I love making her a bit flustered.
I am rooting for the continuation of the game!
wahhhhh I love rai sm! I can't wait to see more of him! <3
Hi! I’m super glad that you liked the game :D!! I plan for most of the horror to come on later in the game; so there aren’t many jumpscares currently. The current demo serves more as an introduction to Rai and the story.
I love this game so much but I'm still struggling with finding the horror bits of the demo! I've tried multiple ways but I'm still stumped
Hello! So, a majority of the horror will be coming later on in the game! The existing demo currently acts more as an introduction to Rai and to set up the story :)
ohhh, that makes sense now. Thank you!
lovely game!and Rai looks so cute when he blushes ^^
Rai stole my whole heart the second I saw him! I love your art style and the feel of your writing! Very much looking forward to the full game. :)
Aww this was such a cute little visual novel! I enjoy the creepy parts and the the art (because I am sucker for them). I really like how the characters look and I just gotta say, does Rai's favorite color change with our eye color~?hehehehe~ That, and I like how we can see the slivers where Rai pretends who he is and occasionally slips up, and now it's got me overthinking about any of the events going on in the story if Rai has gotten his hands over them because sometimes it certainly feels like it, but then again there is the concept of chance hmmm...
Either way, I'm really looking forward to seeing the other days! Goodluck over the development and take care of yourself (especially when you're doing all of this by yourself~!)
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it; it looks like you were definitely paying attention hehe
Hehe, I couldn't help it! All of them are adorable and full of life, and I also like to see the many schemes that Rai is cooking up, I just can't help but look at all of them like a little animal preparing to lure in a big animal in a potentially life threatening trap, sigh, love makes you blind~
this is so good!! i was so sad when it was over, i need more!! your artstyle and writing are amazing! <3
Ajkhsdbjk, thank you!!
Can't wait for the full game!, really fell in love with this game (and a bit of Rai :]). Also, there were a lot more choices than I expected for a demo xD. I don't usually comment much but I think this game deserves it. I'll be on the lookout to see if you update (btw, you don't have instagram, twitter or any platform where you upload your drawings? I loved your artistic style and would like to see more! :D)
Thank you!!! I’m glad you liked it enough to comment!! I don’t currently have a social media page for the game, but I’m hoping to make one in the future :)
i love this demo sm and i can't wait for the full release.
(side note: i fr died when rai told us his name bc my name is rai so the whole time i was laughing like an idiot while playing. 💀)
I’m glad you liked the game lol! Looks like Rai has a name buddy :)
Ooh the boy seems nice

also the Art style story and Vibes are Perfect you did a great job!!
Ajakskh, thank you!!!!
I enjoyed the game and like that his personalty wasn't kind of already screaming "i am a yandere"! Not like there is anything wrong with that, just love variety ^^
Also love your art style the kind of messy hair and the detail in the colors are amazing :D
Awww, thank you so much!!! I’m glad you like Rai :)
It's sooooooo adorable! Omg, this demo is amazing. I love the sprites, the plot, the bgm and the background! Uwa. I was actually felt pity for Rai. I first become friendly to him which I usually am. But ditching him is... Aw men. Waiting for more
