Really loved this! Got all 7 endings, true end is my favorite of course. 

I don't really understand who Memorial and Buttons are though, even after playing through everything.

absolute lovely gem! I can taste the sweet-softness flavor of a cupcake with sour strawberry filling/topping through the game and art style, ate em all up... The ends, bunnies and bushes didn't disappoint me! Characters managed to take up all my sympathy, intrigue, interest points with Strawberry deserving her much love and happiness in the happy end (also maybe a long break from the forest haha, go out to a beach sometime!) as the cherry on top ^^

why is no one f***ing talking about how michael kovach himself voiced memorial!?I CANT F***ING ESCAPE HIM,HELP ME!!!

Just left a review, hope it helps. I love this game, as heart wrenching as it is. I'm going to enjoy the rest of your games, I suspect. Thank you for sharing your work.

my friend loves this series. both me and him are looking forward to the next installment. maybe a Berrywitched 2? if so, maybe Cherry Pie can make a comeback as one of the main antagonists alongside Memorial!

i LOVED this game! keep up the good work! and the fact you got Michael Kovach to voice Memorial is insane! 20/10 would play again!

I think she was most likely mislead about the purpose of her stay there. She was probably meant to be a guide for people who already committed suicide in that forest and to make their last moments somewhat pleasant. They didn't have the heart to tell her that directly so Strawberry had to suffer immense consequences for it. Wonderful game btw. I really like how the good ending recontextualizes her entire behavior after all the sad endings

(+1)

I found your games through Youtube and just finished playing your game here. since the game does have a implication of a continuation in the future I look forward to seeing it. If you ever need a extra person to bounce ideas off of I write in my spare time and wouldn't mind hearing ideas.

this game is incredible! the art inspires me so much, and the story really made me think. i don't often feel like replaying games for a different ending, but the story in this was so interesting to me that i just had to. the good ending is just the right amount of hard to get, and it feels so rewarding when you get it. please keep making games, you're amazing at it!

i liked it, less horror and more just sad but quite. there art and voice acting was fantastic, and the ENDINGS were well thought out. but one complaint I have is memorial and buttons. I like there designs and voices but what purpose do they server in the story? other than that five start. great game. (btw play cherrywithced)

The strawberry voice acting is so cute as well as the strawbunnies in which I would like to play with the character sprites. I have been watching the gameplay and I decided to do it as well like I got all the five pages to get the good ending and I think I took too long because I was backtracking around Strawberry's room and cafe just to get one more paper and I didn't realize it was on the ground near the well where strawberry is.  I understand that most people wanted to get all the endings but for me, I wanted to run the visual novel. 
Also please check out my video I posted! (those of you who were reading this)

Oh, how adorable Strawberry and Strawbanny are!
But it was quite thrilling and interesting to see how the story could take a crazy turn with just a few wrong choices or actions.
And the Good End that was reached at the end of that madness was soooo good!

I'm not an English speaker, so I played the game while translating, but I could still feel Strawberry's suspicious behavior and the kindness in it.
And Strawberry's fashion design is so lovely!

Spoiler Warning!

Comments and Review: I loved playing this game. It was cute, simple, and filled with plot twists I would have never seen coming. The overall story left me with a few questions and that may be because I haven't played Cherrywitched. However, I am curious who Buttons and Memorial are. Were they the ones who sent Strawberry there? Why do they want her dead? Are they working alone or are there bigger factors coming into play?  So far, I have concluded that Strawberry's sister is Cherry Pie and their mother is Inquiry. Strawberry was friends and/or peers with the Raspberry Witch (Unnamed) and the Blueberry Witch (Unnamed). Strawberry also works for Memorial, since she said Buttons' was the boss' assistant. Please correct me if I am wrong. I love lore.  Overall, the game itself is very well thought out. I can tell how much detail and emotions were put into it. My only comment/suggestion is similar to what a few others commented about, how the rope somehow returns after giving it to strawberry in the graveyard scene. If you fix it, that would be a great eighth ending.

My overall rating is 5 out of 5 stars because of how well this game performs. It was simple, fun, and easily caught my attention. I hope to be able to play the next one when it comes out. Keep up the good work, both you, the creator, and the crew.

Ending list woulda been helpful a week ago

for lore wise i'm pretty sure inguiry isn't actually their mom she just adopted strawberry after the chaos of cherrywitched

Ah! Thank you!

Wonderful! We're glad we took the time to play through the remake, even with the story updates aside. We enjoyed the diary illustrations a lot, and even ended up getting drawn in by a number of cute little details (in particular, the way the sprites lean when they run and Memorial having "?!" as a placeholder name instead of "???" got us good). We also went back to check out all of the cupcake dialogue combinations since we absolutely love that stuff, and funnily enough managed to get Inquiry's by complete accident on our first go. The inescapable allure of purple icing...

One thing we figured we'd mention, however, is that we managed to get the gate ending after giving up the rope to Strawberry. We got the Gate Key beforehand and wondered if we'd get a different scene upon checking out what was behind the bakery, only to be caught off-guard by the rope making a triumphant return. Just a minor thing.

BUT YES once again... wonderful game, as ever.

nice

Took me 4 tries to get a good ending🧡

Just tried your game on a whim and loved it! Please continue making games, I enjoyed this one immensely.

(+2)

is there any backstory on Memorial and Buttons? im curious with what they have to do with Strawberry

I am so happy to revisit this game after all this time! I think the translation from visual novel to RPG was super well done and super fun! I love Strawberry and the good ending, but the horror aspects of this game were SOOOO fun too!! The spineless ending really got me lol. I had such a fun time playing through all the endings and thinking about all the memories i had playing the 2022 version. Also, all the voice acting came out SOOO good!! If you ever need spare voice actors, I'd love to work with you sometime! :] Otherwise the game is super well done, very engaging, and overall, just a really fun play. It's amazing to see how far you have come in your games since i first discovered you and I can't wait to see what else you do in the future! Keep up the great work!

Also little strawbunny is so cute... I shall love him forever :]

Thanks for popping by the stream with Arcade, Bunny! It was really fun and I loved your sense of humor, I'm glad I got to play this blind cuz it made it so much more fun! To everyone reading this check the game out it's sooo good!

having to eat the gift to get an ending almost made me cry. this game is amazing though, i adore the art so much

write before playing: the font is so cute www

(+3)

Not to be a weirdo but this game turned me into a lesbian.

(+4)

I was already a lesbian before playing, now im just a simp.

My boyfriend made part of the soundtrack to this game! I’m so proud of him <3 Also, this is a wonderful game! I enjoy it so much! Super cute <3

(2 edits)

I'm just missing Ending 2, I've got my hopes up!

Though after getting the Good Ending, I almost just want to leave the game be. It was so precious :> Though it's crazy how she'll just come swinging at you with a knife otherwise. My guess is she wanted to keep us alive afterward like in the graveyard ending.

Also how do you hang yourself in the graveyard if you had already used the rope on the well and it's not in your inventory? I hoped maybe it was another ending :(

EDIT :  GOT ALL ENDINGS <3

How do you get 2 and 3?

Ending 2 : Refuse the witch's offer of a cupcake. She will get upset. Then, sit down at one of the bakery tables (the one nearest to the staircase).

Ending 3 :  EAT THE STRAWBUNNY. Then go to the kitchen.

NOT THE BUNNY!

if i had to rate this game it would be a 10 out of 10 i love a cute but creepy game it is so cute and i love it keep it up and ur a big big superstar 

Just found a minor bug. If you eat the gift at the well and return the bakery's yard, then go off down another path, it softlocks the kitchen (and staircase) so that you can't progress.

(+4)

that’s supposed to happen, it just means you’re locked into the “spineless” ending!

(3 edits)

Is an an ending scene supposed to trigger or do we just keep wandering around? (The walkthrough says to get Spineless, we have to leave the bakery, walk around and then talk to Strawberry, but she's nowhere around.


Edit: Never mind. Found her by the window. Thanks.

This game is so cute and adorable I really love the art it makes me hungry for sweets

(+1)

Thank you so much!!! ^^

ALL ENDINGS^^

I absolutely loved this game you can tell how much time and dedication and also love that was put into this, im a first time player of this game and see that there is more games in this franchise I'm definitely going to have to play them because i genuinely loved this!

(+1)

Ah!!! Thank you sooooo much! I can’t wait to check this out! <33

Such a good remake! I got all the ending except endings 2 and 3 :’D

Haha thank you! I have a walkthrough available if you ever feel like getting those endings in the future <33

I can't get ending 4 any hint? :sob:

It’s towards the very very beginning of the game (before you meet Strawberry)! Try to see if any of the pathways lead anywhere else… :)

(1 edit)

No way! Did I really just do that?!

Alright, I admit it… That was totally my fault

Ah thank you so much for playing my game!!! I can’t wait to check this out! ^^

This is apparently an updated version of the game, and a recently released update at that. In other words, you’ve seen it as a visual novel because the old version that was around for more than two days was a visual novel, and I don’t think the new version’s been out for long enough for the lets players to play it.

Haha, yeah, this version of the game only came out this past weekend, so not a lot of people have gotten to it yet!

Apparently me and Strawberry's sister like the exact same type of cupcake. 👀
