I played through Yiestol's ending. I'm pretty sure playing this changed me fundamentally in some way. Liquid gold drips from the pen that you wield. Thank you.
Played this game for the first time recently after watching your guys 'Visual Novel Development For Beginners' talk. - It was sooo good I had to check out your games.
The worldbuilding in this game is insane and I feel incredibly teased with its short but sweet runtime.
The characters are likeable and intriguing, each ending reveals more about the world. (I am yet to achieve Nyarghs ending-- will update this when I do, currently at a cafe and I'll further out myself as a monster fucker)
Amazed that the music was not custom commissioned, it fits the setting and the illustrations perfectly. - Looking through the guys website was an adventure in itself -
Overall I'm now gonna be thinking about this world non-stop, and fanart will be made in the coming months.
Great work, and I look forward to playing your other games!!
Yiestol's ending made me feel whole (ha-ha,) it was by far my favorite ending. It's really romantic I think, to love someone so much that you'd desire to become one so completely. Brattan's ending to me was bittersweet. I don't know, it felt sort of like something was lost in a way? But Vil gained a very sweet and loyal wolf man, so I can't complain. Nyargh's story felt the most relatable. He really is sweet, I love my tentacle monster fella. I want to help him take care of bees for the rest of our lives.
i found a post of suggestions on tumblr, and the name of this alone was enough to interest me, but the person also included a pic of nyargh to show one of the suitors and i immediately fell in love! that said, yiestol ended up my fave sgdhksakshdg
anyway! i love this so so much. it's so sweet and gentle and with body horror being my favourite thing ever, it makes my heart sing
coincidentally managed to find and play this game during an actual eclipse here! it only heightened this absolutely incredible experience even more, but i'm absolutely positive that this is one of my favorite games now. yiestol is the new love of my life <333
This game is the only one of its caliber that I have played and it’s truly amazing! I cannot believe it is available for free. 😩 Most visual novels I played were 60-70% dialogue, so I was delightfully surprised at the approach MITF took with its text — it does not shy away from descriptions and building lore of the grotesque world we play in, that has truly helped to forge a more immersive connection with the characters. I truly felt like I was actually reading a novel as compared to skimping through chunks of dialogues, certainly a welcoming change.
The artwork and character designs are absolutely beautiful. Body horror is pretty prominent in the game (e.g exposed pulsing flesh and pus) but it does not carry the same dreadfulness as it would in a non-romance medium, it somehow even felt like I was right at home.. idk how to describe it. This game evokes the coziest vibes in an unconventional way.
Thank you sooo much to the team for this masterpiece! This is genuinely the most compelling and immersive VN I have played in a long while. The world of MITF plus characters will forever have a special place in my heart 🩷🥰
I know what the goal was explaining the bonding with Yiestol was. However, I couldn't get the image of Steven universe fusion out of my head. In my mind we are a permanent SU fusion.
THIS GAME IS SO UNDERRATED?!??!?! its so good bless your heart i love you this is the most well written story ive read so far im gonna kiss you so hard
Really like this odd but fun my fav is Brattan i love his happy ending and yiestol >.> even thou when he bonds with freaky >_> and uh lol,where they live kinda reminds zergs from star craft XD
Created an account just to comment on this! This game was unbelievably stunning. The art is outstanding, the characters are so unique and loveable, and my god the entire story is so beautifully written. The world is built so deeply but not in a sense that's overwhelming. This game is just. Incredible. I genuinely can't praise it enough, I'm just sad that I found it so late.
Thank you, this cheered me up so much when I played it earlier this year. The coziness is deep, and I'm someone who doesn't like horror - I realised because of this, it's only the harm in horror I don't like.
Wow ok, I need to talk about this game! (spoilers guys)
First, congratulations for the perfect art and the characters, the description too... I can imagine everything in my mind, it would be a world I would love to live in.
I have a soft spot for werewolves, so obvs Brattan was my first choice, his extrovert and explorer behavior attracts me (even though I'm very introvert) he looks like a big puppy, I find it so cute.
I decided to enter with Brattan in the abyss, after all it was a decision I'd make in real life, and I thought about writing letters, so Vil goes and does what? Write a note, in a way he read my mind lol!
Now if I had been in their place, I'd have regretted it too much, after all... stop in the human world? God forbid, the only good thing is that Vil and Brattan have each other, I prefer their world than ours sincerely, even the environment of their world I think is more beautiful, but I won't be defaming us, because in every world there are problems, bad people, difficulties... I think in the end it only matters who you're with.
(I did the end of stay however and I regret it because it made me sad, Vil talking about how much he missed Brattan and believing that one day he would come back talking about his discovery, and I just thinking... no, he won't come back)
Oh and the soundtrack, omg sometimes it made me really scared, I thought something bad or scary was going to happen, but not really, when I saw I was just having a cute moment with Brattan or another character, but it gave a good atmosphere. I loved this game and I'll try all the endings and all the romance routes possible, simply one of the best itch.io novel style games!
Ok, ok, I also need to talk about Nyargh, what a wonderful character my friends! If someone made me melt (like honey hehe) it was him, much more than Brattan. First, the bees are so cute, I hate bees in rl and I'm really afraid of them, but in this game they look so cute that I wish I had one... but focusing on Nyargh!
Is there someone more perfect, interesting and mysterious than him? Even his different looks attract me to him, the way he talks and behaves, how he's so calm, relaxed and doesn't care about the opinion of others... he's simply who I want to be in life: Successful, with a cute hardworking partner and bees as pets. The ending with Nya's more satisfying for me, even when we don't decide to be their partner at least we keep the friendship, the sad part is the dreams we've with Nyargh, but anyway... I loved it, this game is 10/10!
1. Don't start to play this game while eating pizza. That was my mistake. Be better than me.
2. I love the world in this game. It's a grounded despite being so otherworldly. The art is gorgeous, and the story is simple but enjoyable. Yet, neither of the story nor the art shies away from the nature of how everything should be in this type of world. Like, the imagery is graphic and borderline violent, but the characters aren't. It's a part of their life, and they don't see anything wrong with it. The casualness of the interactions with each other and their environment solidifies the believability of it. If you took Yiestol's character (favorite character) and put him in any other story. I might have been a bit squeamish, but it just fell into place nicely here.
It's all just an amalgamation of beautiful horror.
3. Bees.
The bees and caterpillar were the correct stylistic choice. None other could compare.
played this game a longgg time ago and it's still one of my absolute favourites, the worldbuilding was absolutely amazing and i've yet to find a game with a similar charm to this one
This novel was insanely well-written, and I'm truly amazed by your world-building capabilities. There was so much detail packed into a relatively brief game and each suitor had very distinct characteristics.
I have to admit, I felt really antsy for most of this visual novel--teetering on uncomfortable as I generally stay away from vore/gore. And while I have dabbled in the concept of teratophilia, it's definitely been on the tamer side and I haven't ever been able to visualize characteristics.
I can't say that this is a genre I really want to explore further, but I really appreciate that you've kept this a friendly entrance into that realm (and you did provide warnings at the beginning LOL).
I'm seriously fascinated by the world you've built which was shocking for humans, but nonchalantly normal for the characters. I can always appreciate a good read. You're a fab writer! Thanks for letting me into your imagination [:
Meeting in the Flesh is an interesting game, especially for someone who are interested in suitors that was different from the norm yet still quite loveable. I especially love the world building that was quite strange but beautiful and the differences in culture in it, since everything was made of something else and not normally human.
The suitors were interesting in their own way, with Yiestol's gentleness, Brattan's bravery and lust for adventure, and Nyargh's gruff kindness. All of the good ending for the suitors were quite passionate and I do admit reading through it made me blush a little, haha. Or maybe the writing is too good, I appreciate a good read.
Thank you for making the game and I'm looking forward for your new game!
Brattan's route got me feeling things and I just wsfknewklrvbglwbgvkrasfn-
He was my abso fave, but if I knew choosing him would go down the road it did... I honestly wouldn't have chosen it. If only to spare myself certain... feelings. At least we had each other in the end though.
Ultimately, a marvelously otherworldly experience. The creator really dove into the concept of making a monster world and executed it so well that I am left... struggling to comprehend the uniqueness of it. Not out of xenophobia or discomfort, but just... the novelty of the take.
Short, but lovely. If you aren't a wuss about flesh and blood (not gore, no), this is definitely worth playing through to get all the endings at least once imho.
I just finished Nyarghs route and I love him sm. I feel so thankful that a game like this exists and even more so that it has such an interesting world! I'm going to go back and play every single route with all of the characters because I need to experience every last ounce of what's to offer in this incredible game.
There is not a guide but it is simple to figure out. Whoever you choose to spend time with will be the route you go along. From then it is pretty straightforward what to pick for the good or bad end. There is another ending too... if you choose to not spend time with any of them you will spend the eclipse alone.
This game was great! Very well written and sweet, my favorite was Brattan, then Yeistol, than Nyargh :) Don't be turned away by the nsfw monster stuff, you can toggle the mature stuff off, and without it they are just sweet stories that are well written and heartwarming. The game honestly brings up interesting questions about things I haven't thought of before, too, it's good at bringing up situations and wondering how you would react in those situations. Loved this game!

This game is absolutely amazing!!
I was like "oh noooo anything but handholding!!" when I see the TW up front
but apart of me being weird again, this game is highly underrated
THIS GAME IS SO UNDERRATED?!??!?! its so good bless your heart i love you this is the most well written story ive read so far im gonna kiss you so hard
My friends don't understand my love for fleshy, grotesque abominations.
And I don't care. I love Nyargh with every fiber of my being. Thank you for this game.

Meow,
Nuuuuu. Someone stole my werewolf.
i was just reminded that this existed after not having played it in...oh god, 4 years.... thank you for Nyarh, he's a sweetheart <3
