I believe if someone cares truly they'll find a way to balance each others needs and be patient.

I think a simple thick scarf will be enough to soften the noise!

As long as the person of interest is alive... is what matters to SPD. Any challenges can be taken care of

THANK YOU! I finally found a way to draw digitally the way I always wanted!

I wanted to say what you guys have going on is so so so cool and I'm excited for what you have planned!!

I'm so in love with the layout of the game and the design for the spd!(I named them Azure) Which I gotta ask as I'm just oogling them lovingly, whenever you release the full game and have the funding would you ever make merch for your game? Lowkey I'd be forking over money so fast if you made a plush of our favorite sleep paralysis squish :]

Oh, there's so much coming! Working on the steam demo very hard! It's gonna be epic!

Pretty name you came up with, you'll spend more time with them in the full game too! Some bonus scenes nhehehe

Ahhhh, one day, one day we'll find a way to make that plush happen ; 3

Secondly: what a beautiful game! I can't even put into words how much I enjoyed your game! ❣️

I have two questions, but please forgive me if it has already been asked :}

1: How would the creature react if mc had pets? I have an energetic dog and a kind cat, but I'd like to know the creature's perspective. (Especially if the animal is exotic.)

2: .How would the creature react to gifts? I like to give drawings, jewelry, and even clothes to people I like. I can make the jewelry out of string if it doesn't like the sound of metal.

A third question, because I'm curious!

3: The creature said that its teeth could become loose from time to time. So... are teeth made of the same thing as flesh/skin? Sorry for the dumb question.

Bye, bye 👋🏽

Thank you for going out of your way to write! I'm happy you liked the game!

The creature may try to merely observe the pet, if its brave enough, it might try to interact with it and mimic or steal its scent

The creature would cherish it : ] Perhaps keep it hidden inside!

Not a dumb question! A good theory, I'll keep it a mystery though, hehehhuhe

Full Game Announcement We’re excited to finally announce that Welcome, Dear Human is growing from a small itch.io demo into a full commercial visual novel coming to Steam.

In the original demo, you could date one monster: your sleep paralysis demon. In the full version, that premise is becoming much bigger: 10 romanceable monsters!

The new trailer gives a first look at the expanded world of Welcome, Dear Human.

Thank you for the incredible support!

And also because i feel like its such a cliche thing to do like in those romance fanfics would its own version of intimacy just be talking and just staying close? if that even makes sense

An interesting train of thought!

It differently expresses affection in its own unique way, but I think that's the part that made people like the critter! I hope to explore those concepts further, hope you'll like what's coming! Let us explore different forms of love.

I’ve been getting into visual novels lately made by small creators and I was impressed by the animation and effort put into this game! It’s super amazing and I can’t wait to see the rest, when you release the full thing I definitely wanna buy it to try it for myself :3

Also SPD is very cute in a creepy way I love them, the idea for them being stretchy and not having a solid form is so unique and I love to see cool original monster designs and stuff

Also did I mention I love the animation (lol) that was my favorite part of it just watching SPD move around

Awww thank you much for the compliments! I'm glad my efforts didn't stay unnoticed! Makes it all even more worth it!

I'm happy you like the critter, I remember back when I was still thinking of the concepts... how to make this Sleep paralysis demon stand out from the others but still having the traditional shiluette

Im glad I managed to achieve that!

Hi! Happy you liked the game!

-there will be a second demo with more content for free but the full game will not be free, we're indie so the price won't be high

-that's for you all to figure out : ]

-that's a secret! Let's just say that some storylines are quite complicated but fun!

-a lot of things actually, but the main inspirations are just sleep paralysis stories told by other people, plus my own experience

I'm still trying to keep things vague because the game will reveal some cool stuff and I don't want you to miss out on it! Hope you'll like the new demo n' later the complete game!

Hey, Kiki Can here. I thought I could do an update here as well! But you can get regular updates on the game here, by the >>> newsletter <<<

Anyway, some might have missed the new one so I'll repost it here!

Good news, dear humans: Welcome, Dear Human is now playable on Android.

You can download the APK here and take the game with you on mobile. After many requests, Android support is finally here. If you’ve been waiting to play Welcome, Dear Human on your phone, now you can.

Meet Octo

If you found the secret image in our latest spinoff minigame, here is the full version:

And yes, this is your first real glimpse at the next monster you’ll meet in Welcome, Dear Human. Their name is Octo, a shapeshifter hiding in human society.

"To hurt people is what I'm made for." - Octo

You may already have spotted Octo’s human disguise as the hooded figure at the end of the Welcome, Dear Human demo on itch.io.

Here are a few more sketches:

Stay Updated, The full game announcement trailer will be posted on the KikiCan YouTube channel next month.

I was biting my pen, and a thought came into my head again - what does SPD taste like? Since they mimic the player’s actions, and they’ve seen the player biting their pen, could they have tried tasting it? What does their saliva taste like? They allow you to touch them, but is it safe to lick them? (I’m just curious. Sorry, I don't know English well.)

THANK YOU! I was so thrilled when I found the perfect voice, it's literally what I imagined all those years ago!

And thanks for noticing! It took a while for me to get used to digital art, I stared as a traditional artist so the transition was a bit slow, but I finally figured it out!

It's OK to ask! I don't know why.. But I think it might taste like a dry oil? Like body oil but dry, difficult to describe. That's the best I can do. Or literally like nothing, the concept of absence. Depends on the day.

For example, pillows, or even just their filling?

Yeaaahhh nooo, it can't fit into your small sweaters, the textile things are just not good enough to contrain SPD's shape. Best it can do is cardboard, but the more tough the material is, the better.

it's so cute and weird in a very lovely way, I ADORE it!!! (⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)

It's the best novel I've ever played

I'm a really big fan of that guy, im sorry

Have a nice day btw ^⁠_⁠^

Don't apologise for weirdness! It's a way to live by! I'm very glad you like the creature and I can not WAIT to show you another one, it's gonna be epic!

: P

How would kissing him feel like? Will they bite my face off?

That's adorable: ]

Yeaahhhh, what happened last time someone touch its mouth? I don't quite remember ahahah.

THANK YOU! I'm happy you liked it!! I can't WAIT show to show off more!

I remember you pal, you're the OG of OGs!! : D glad you've been following my journey this long!! I hope to amaze and improve further!!
