Could we have an expansion where Mint meets his little sibling? Maybe she's(Magnolia) even refined her process for parenting/creation process, and the child, having never socially interacted beyond plant, corpses and their mother, would be very suspicious or fearful of their older brother.
btw canonically how old is magnolia? She says "old innocent woman" during her interaction with the second intruder but idk if it is guilt tripping or is she just old but looks young bc pixelated.
Also in ending B does she kill mint or does mint and her reunite? because the blood is fresh i think she probably made another homunculus child, but she probably still loves mint right? RIGHT?
The game was so cool, hope you won't leave this story somewhere behind, bc I am definitely a fan) also I cant go to the second ending after two hours of trying(still worth it) thanks!
honestly, I can see this becoming a full-fledged game, just take time and add more if possible, maybe explain more, and have it so that depending on your choices, depends how the story goes, maybe add a bit more suspense, this could become an amazing rpg! I look forward to seeing more in the future
I hope there comes an ending where Dove, Magnolia and Mint start living together happily (maybe just when Magnolia was going to shoot Dove, she remembered all her past memories and couldn't shoot her, then they had a deal of some sort that for the sake of Mint, they will live together and take care of him or smh, just a rough idea tho)
i loved loved loveddd playing, it was so good!! it took me a lil while to figure out some of the following events but i ended up guessing and loooved! wish we could see more about how dove and magnolia married hahah it's so weird for me to imagine magnolia like, in love!
amazing artstyle, OST and story, absolutely in love. I love the stark contrast between the cartoon style and the character style. It would be perfect if it had a Chinese version!
ps;i've never heard such a good ost in my whole life; ;
i don't know if this is a bug, i'm playing now as Mint and ent to the door with the code, i can't get out of that room. (I had to look up the code so I could continue playing).
This was honestly a fun little game! The art was beautiful and the story was very interesting (and the story progression was done very well! Plus, I had a lot of fun with the different dialogue choices.)

I loved all of the hints about Magnolia's research and about Mint as we went through the game. It was honestly quite fascinating, although it was nice to see that Magnolia very much embraced being a mother even if nothing else really came from her research.
It was also a lot of fun to play a character that is basically the antagonist (even if she was doing it all/mostly for Mint!) And I loved how we uncovered her past bit by bit as we searched for/found the intruders in her home. It made for a very interesting insight into who Magnolia is and what she wants out of life. Although... it did all feel a bit sad knowing she cared about her research more than even her former relationship (especially since she and Dove looked like they were an awfully sweet married couple while they were together.) Magnolia was just... likeable in spite of how awful of a person she is.
The endings were so bittersweet, too. But they suited the story much more than a very happy ending. I honestly liked the whole story a lot, and both endings were a delight to get!
were you get put in as mint, i ended up getting stuck at the locked door due to being unable to go through the doorway i came through for some reason :(
I haven't finished playing yet but I found a little glitch, in the beginning when you're taking mint to bed and you want to walk past his room he says "this isn't the way to my room" but after that you can keep walking forward. I went to the room with one of the intruders with Mint and since then he became kinda stuck, then when she says she needs to hide the body and suddenly Mint is awake again there's two of them. One following Magnolia as she carries the dead body and another one walking around the hallway.. just thought I'd let you know, love the game so far <3
Atmopsheric game with amazing art and soundtrack, and bittersweet endings. My only complaint is that the house is big and confusing since so many rooms are connected. Overall, great work!
And gosh.... magnolia is such a smexy silver fox!!! I love how she's a terrible person with no excuses to be made, but it doesn't stop her having some touching relationships. Her ruthlessness and strong character is charming in the end. I'm curious to know what her and mint's dynamic will be like when mint is all grown up.
Love it so much! <3 Especially the WLW representation and the concepts of being the witch instead of the intruder. But I wish it was longer because I loved the story :(
Generally- I never really get that invested into games; but my god has Symbiosis (as well as your other games) managed to worm their way into my head since I first played about 5 months ago, and since I'm at the point they've begun to just plague my every though, I thought I'd finally make an itch.io account to express that,
(( SPOILERS ___!!!
I’ve been so in love with Magnolia’s character for the past couple months it's insane sdahouhdasuoh
She’s such a well layered and complex character; because hey, on one hand she's- just as a not-so-wise man once said- a cold-hearted [choice word]. but on the other hand, she’s doing a lot of the more messed up things for mint; and honestly, I’d also kill for mint. And even then- she's doing it for knowledge at the same time, so it's such a perfectly complex motive to everything that has me genuinely clawing at my hair at the thought of. Dove and Magnolia’s relationship honestly seemed so cute (while it lasted, at least ;skull;) just from those few cutscenes alone; and as much as I would’ve wanted them to be happy and all that nonsense, I also adore the bittersweet ending a ton and preferred it over something gushy and all that stuff- because I don't really know if that'd fit with the way they are, obviously. I did however have to take a break and go eat something after finding that wedding photo, because my GOD did that sucker punch me in the gut; I love divorced (and sad, technically? I'm not even sure anymore) WLW, especially when they're old ladies because my lord is that just the icing on top 💜💜
All your games honestly have the perfect atmospheres, and Symbiosis only proved that fact further!! You once again managed to absolutely go above and beyond with the art, and I'm on the verge of getting the damned blue bird app to see more!!
Thank you very much for the detailed comment, I'm really happy to hear that the story stuck with you! It will probably take a while but I do want to add to the story someday!

u should make a sequel following ending A, where mint discovers his powers after he has gone to the city
btw canonically how old is magnolia? She says "old innocent woman" during her interaction with the second intruder but idk if it is guilt tripping or is she just old but looks young bc pixelated.
Also in ending B does she kill mint or does mint and her reunite? because the blood is fresh i think she probably made another homunculus child, but she probably still loves mint right? RIGHT?

The game was so cool, hope you won't leave this story somewhere behind, bc I am definitely a fan) also I cant go to the second ending after two hours of trying(still worth it) thanks!

honestly, I can see this becoming a full-fledged game, just take time and add more if possible, maybe explain more, and have it so that depending on your choices, depends how the story goes, maybe add a bit more suspense, this could become an amazing rpg! I look forward to seeing more in the future

Really enjoyed this
I literally just need more Mint & Magnolia. Like straight up please give me more.
I hope there comes an ending where Dove, Magnolia and Mint start living together happily (maybe just when Magnolia was going to shoot Dove, she remembered all her past memories and couldn't shoot her, then they had a deal of some sort that for the sake of Mint, they will live together and take care of him or smh, just a rough idea tho)
I love that the little plant in the living room is Mint’s sibling :)
Lovely addition to the world building

A modern retelling of the witch in the woods. Gameplay and story were really good and the artstyle is amazing.
what do i do after killing the first intruder that we had to hide in the balcony??
can u download this game on Mac (without bootcamp)?
great game make part two please
amazing artstyle, OST and story, absolutely in love. I love the stark contrast between the cartoon style and the character style. It would be perfect if it had a Chinese version!
ps;i've never heard such a good ost in my whole life; ;
Does anyone know if there's a secret C ending, since the walkthrough says that neither A or B are the true endings.
As of now, there's only 2 endings! There's no true endings as in both endings has equal weight to them.
nice game! can i translate it to a Chinese version ^ ^
I love this funky murder lesbian and her child so much 🤗
What a fantastic game! Loved the sciencey stuff a lot, and the art is gorgeous!
i don't know if this is a bug, i'm playing now as Mint and ent to the door with the code, i can't get out of that room. (I had to look up the code so I could continue playing).
The code is 313 this help you for the end B
This was honestly a fun little game! The art was beautiful and the story was very interesting (and the story progression was done very well! Plus, I had a lot of fun with the different dialogue choices.)

hello everything is fine? I really liked the UI of your game, can I use it in my project?
The kid reminds me of Neko from Oneshot.
were you get put in as mint, i ended up getting stuck at the locked door due to being unable to go through the doorway i came through for some reason :(

All your games honestly have the perfect atmospheres, and Symbiosis only proved that fact further!! You once again managed to absolutely go above and beyond with the art, and I'm on the verge of getting the damned blue bird app to see more!!
Also, are you cool with fanart for your games?
Thank you very much for the detailed comment, I'm really happy to hear that the story stuck with you! It will probably take a while but I do want to add to the story someday!
And of course, I'll love to see fanart!
