Hello! This is my first game, like, ever. I wanted to make a short game, or “bad end simulator” that’s very story focused based on my OC, Friedrich “JunJingl” Marchosias.

And yes, Friedrich is 8 feet and one inch.

CREDITS: 

Art:

Me! I also did most of the GUI, and the animations.

Code:

Action editor

(i did the coding, these are just add-ons i used for some specific functions and such.)

Music:

Umineko “When They Cry” original soundtrack

“It’s too dark” by me! 

Sfx:

Blood and Gore sound effects

Umineko “When They Cry” sound effects

(if there’s anything else that i missed please let me know.)

DISCLAIMER:

This VN is first and foremost very experimental. I didn’t intend it to get as dark and descriptive as it does, but as of writing this I don’t entirely regret it. I think this VN was a good way for me to grab all my nasty feelings and struggles and vent it through writing. That isn’t to say it’s purely a vent piece. Just keep in mind that it’s not all “haha edgy gore for the sake of gore”, it’s quite emotionally charged writing. I want to elicit feelings from the reader. And I hope that if you’re okay with these topics and are comfortable with reading this, then you’ll at the very least have some sort of value in playing. Either way, please enjoy. I should say this now, but very obviously I do not condone murder and torture. You are free to make fanworks of this VN, but remember to always approach what you’re writing with at least a bit of sensitivity and purpose. You are free to interpret the meaning of this VN in your own way if you want. The meaning I personally put in it is something i’d rather not share early on, anyways.

How many endings are there in total? And can anyone please help me get the gc right under the BACK button?

You know I read the trigger warnings and the comments... yet still wasn't able to predict just how bad things could get for this MC. 

I can't say I'm really into torture/horror porn as a genre, I often find the story feels lacklustre and explicit just for the sake of it which takes away any impact the content could have, but here I was riveted from beginning to end. You said the writing here is emotionally charged and I felt that throughout, and the way you were able to balance gore, emotion and even eroticism without it feeling like cheap shock tactics shows that you're a seriously talented writer. For as simple as the scenario is there is incredible atmosphere throughout that kept shocking me with how creative each and every ending got. Even the pet ending was terrifying because it's not clear what being a 'pet' entails here, for all we know it could be way worse than anything else she suffered. Friedrich really did steal the show, I love how unapologetically twisted and cruel he is while still somehow being entertaining, while the amount of times he caught the MC and dragged out her death gave him this almost unstoppable force of nature vibe. It really felt like there was nothing you could do to get away no matter what you chose, which made the final ending even more of a shock. I also like how the MC slowly revealed little bits about her personality and backstory throughout, and how it always seemed to be the small moments that broke her more than the violence itself (All's Well That Ends Well in particular was heartbreaking). The art is also just gorgeous, with even the most explicit CG straddling the line between horrifying and haunting, while the character designs are incredible. Again Friedrich stole the show here as well, he is so expressive I love how his body changes at times to show his more demonic side while still keeping that expressiveness (now that's a 'hear me out' even I can't explain). 

This was both an unsettling and thrilling little story that I enjoyed way more than I expected to. I'll be keeping an eye out for any future games of yours, and I'd definitely love to see Friedrich make a return. 

need more monster murdersim games

perfect. that one is nothing like btd, that hits different

First ending was 7, and JESUS CHRIST I DID NOT EXPECT THAT. Overall, AMAZING game, loved the artwork and how gruesome it was. Also, love the design on his tongues, and especially how they turn into spirals in his mouth!!

The first ending I got was the All's Well that ends well..... It just kept getting worse. I applaud you and the way you can repulse my pretty much numbed mind.

The first ending I got was the pet ending, which led me not to expect much beyond an enjoyable mild horror game. After playing, I’m amazed and a little rattled. You did fantastic work, and I now understand the hype in the comments. I was indeed... not ready.

I've been thinking about this game for days I love it so much ♥ ♥ ♥ I need a sequel

"His chest is so big because it’s full of evil"

First off, I totally LOVED THIS GAME! 

Friedrich is such a lovable, yet terrible creature; it's hard not to like him if you're into evil characters. And let me tell you, Friedrich is evil, evil! As I played, I couldn’t believe how cruel and ruthless he could be. I think he's a complex and really interesting character. Even though the game is solid and packed with content, once I finished all the routes, I just wanted to see more of him—and more of the MC since I found her super intriguing too. Not sure if she’s just there to make drawing the CGs easier, but I really like her!

Here are some things I really liked:

THE ART OMG THE ART! 

Your art is outstanding, and I was blown away by the number of CGs you included and how amazing they all look.

You definitely went all out on the visuals for this game.

The gore is well done, and all the pieces are nicely shaded and really fit the mood of the scenes perfectly.
At times, it felt like I was watching an anime because each piece is so detailed and well-rendered!

And I’ve gotta say, I love how Friedrich’s chest takes up a huge chunk of the screen whenever it pops up—when it comes to evil characters and their chest sizes, Friedrich definitely takes the cake!

Friedrich 

I had no idea what to expect when I first saw Friedrich; I just thought he looked a bit off putting.

But after playing the game, I seriously love him!

Not only is he a totally unapologetic cruel character, but he’s also a blast to watch. His design has this fun, whimsical clown and circus vibe but then also sharp and edgy details. I really like how he looks inhuman while still having some human aspects.

One thing that amused me is his blush cheeks—they don’t really sit on his cheeks but are more like placed on his face area. I’m not sure if that’s an art style quirk or something unique to Friedrich, but I really dig it. 

One thing that really grossed me out was his tongue (or tongues?).

I’m sorry, but they look so disgusting especially when they’re inside his mouth lol, but other than that, I think Friedrich has a pretty solid and nice character design.

MC:

I was super surprised when I realized we actually had an MC and not just a blank slate character. For me, it made the game much more interesting since now I had another character to fawn over and be curious about, and the MC is exactly that. After the ending 7 (I think it’s 7 at least), I wanna know what happens to her and how the other demons that aren’t Friedrich’s minions would react to him being “dead” and another demon taking his place.

Overall, I think the game is really solid and has awesome visuals that were clearly made with care and love.

Things that bothered me:

The rain sound would sometimes cut out, which isn’t too noticeable when there’s music or other sound effects playing, but during those dramatic moments when it’s just the rain sound, the cut would really break the immersion for me.

Delectably gruesome, omg! The amount of endings with accompanied CGs was so impressive that it was so fun to find them all — and to be amazed by just how bad of an end we can get. I’m disgusted by Friedrich but all the more strangely enamored by him. At least, we got some kisses before our guts got ripped out <3

got all endings besides 7 cause i cant fucking find it but finally an actually scary horror game!! (I still love friedrich even if he scares me tho </3) btw which ending is canon in  mundus iumentorum if any at all?

it’s left ambiguous. “Where He is King” takes place in a timeline seperate from the main MUNDUS IUMENTORUM story, so this game could be considered an AU or non-canon.

friedrich so whimsical he has his own multiverse this is so splendid
