Dear! (No offense) It’s been such a long time! I'm really excited for you! Thank you for your unremitting efforts over the years, thank you for your hard work!😉

I still remember the first time I came into contact with "OW", probably around July last year. I always felt that you had unimaginable love for each character, not only through the game itself, but also on Twitter and Tumblr. 🥰The personalities of these characters are fully fleshed out, which I think is particularly remarkable!👍

Carrot, you have really done a great job. I wish you good health and all the best!🥳 As well as being able to achieve more loving feelings according to your own expectations in terms of family and love, congratulations again on accomplishing this feat!🫡

Splendid! Can't wait to play! Thanks for your continuous work, Carrot!

What a good news, isn't it? And the first route I could play is my FAVORITE character Genzou's, it's making my burst into crying!

I like it! Can't wait for the the official version of the game anymore!

Adorable, as always😘 I'm looking forward to participating in the game playing.

It's truly a lot of work! Don't overwork yourself!🧐

Please make sure all is well with yourself and family stuff first!💦

From the perspective of CG scenes and injuries alone, I don’t think the scenes in Arc5 are truly more intense compared to the previous ones, even the scene with a bunch of mosaics in Orlam’s room, or the scene with Orlam’s heart bleeding, or the scene where Genzou’s finger was cut... I'm sorry for my unhappy comment on tumblr about Genzou's finger, hope it didn't bother you. The reason why I reacted so strongly was that even though the scenes in Arc3 and Arc4 were more intense, Arc5 could still clear all physical damage with all chars' rebirth, but there would be no next Arc after Arc5 to eliminate physical damage. So even though the cut off finger was much "lighter" compared to being eaten twice, I felt much worse.😭

And in my comment above, there is a part about "Didn't it go down, right?!!". This part is because when Orlam forced Genzou to tell him what he disliked about Orlam, if I stood from Orlam's perspective, I'll feel that Genzou had always been The act of keeping silent is simply because he wants to go against Orlam. As mentioned before in the game, I as Orlam, will think that Genzou wants to show that he is stronger than me so I am so worried that Orlam will actually chop off Genzou's arm in a fit of anger...😢

Then I want to say that in Arc5.15 it is obvious that Carrot has spent a lot of effort, whether it is cg, animation, moves , standing paintings, or the real emotion you invest in each character, which is great! This is also the reason why OW is one of my three most important games. The emotional content present in it is very complex and real, and there are many authentic expressions (as a non-native English speaker, I need to think carefully to understand🤣).

As for the reason why I kind of don’t dare to choose more options to get closer to Genzou, apart from Iggy’s consistent dislike of physical contact, it’s more about my own fear of “getting closer”. I feel like I’m moving too fast. I’m afraid this act will push others too hard. Mainly I don't want to see any of them get hurt, mentally or physically.

Overall, I'm looking forward to the last part!! And hope that Carrot can handle the family stuff and become more relaxed and not be tortured by stress any more. Well,, stress is sometimes good stuff, but just don't let it break you, OK?🥺💕(Also let me say it again, the new cg and music in 5.15 are really awesome!)

Ok dear, I finally finish the playing. Looking forward to the final part!!🥰 But I truly hope that it could be... SAFE. NO ONE WILL EVER BE HURT IN ANY WAY.

Firstly, let's just talk about the happy part I met.

In fact, I just want to choose "Bid goodnight" in the second option, after I go to Genzou's side when I want to spend the night in the rabbit's den. I, as a bisexual, I don't know which option to choose as an asexual like iggy. But, I feel like I'm asking too much for him at the moment, and I went to Genzou, to his bed, and said what he meant to me. I don't think I can afford to "put my head on his shoulder". I,, I don't want him to feel that I am too close to him, I don't want him to feel that I am pitying him, comforting him, and then what if he hates me because of it. I just want his love, even if it's only a little closer can satisfy me...🥺

He said that line later, the line "I love you, Iggs". I felt the pain, though it is exactly what I wanted him to say to Iggy, I still felt a real pain of sadness. Kind of strange.

Ok, now just talking about the latter sections, shall we? 

After they entered the castle, I have to say that I was really scared to death. The sound of Iggy and the others touching the jars, the sound of switching on and off the lights, and the sound of opening the door really gave me a terrible feeling. As if Orlam would sneak them out of the dark and chop them up...

Now, after they met Orlam. 

ah. . It’s scary, Orlam is scary, but Carrot, you really drew a lot of new moves and standing paintings for Orlam, and the painting style in this room feels obviously much more refined, whether it’s Orlam or Genzou. Really a lot of new moves, Carrot is awesome.

Ah, ah, I forgot that Genzou didn't know that Iggy had eaten his flesh. . And the third week he even feels delicious. Even Gidget doesn't know about it (although Gidget also ate "steak" in Arc4)

OK, Too close,, Gen you are so close to Orlam, even closer than the rabbit with Iggy. But I, can say nothing, since Gen and Orlam, too complicated.  My mind wants to feel jealous about this scene, but I really can't feel jealous emotionally. .😢

...Iggy really hates touching, he has always hated touching being asexual in OW, Orlam said the fact that he's close to Iggy to Genzou, yes. . It's very frustrating.

Ok finally, about the suffer Genzou got. my feeling when I saw the plot was:

Gen, say it, say it. . . You are so scary, your silence is so scary, I feel like my heart is about to pop out. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I don't want to see the next step, seriously, I really don't want to see it. Carrot, why, why do you always scare me more than I expected, why, I'm so scared. . . A creepy thriller, a dha dja'd ajd ia dskjas dba

Huh, huh, luckily it didn't go down, didn't it go down, right? ? ? !

Later, Genzou's apology to Orlam was very in line with my expectations, very in line with, the feeling of being afraid of being left out, very in line with my guess. But here I won't describe the content of Genzou's apology, because the fact that Orlam started "dying" directly exceeded my expectations, and Iggy and the others can pick Genzou's fingers first.

Also, to be honest, the music is good, really good, the song when they left the castle.💕

This passage can be very out of grammar or something like this. . I'm sorry because I'm in a bit of a mess right now after the playing.😟

Finally, I will send you a tumblr ask...

It's 5:38 in my area and I'm playing OW Arc5 Part1 1/2 as soon as I can...

It's just, a huge desire for me to meet dear Genzou. I'm dying to meet him. Carrot, you are really good at plotting... 

Ok, detailed things I'll add after I play it.

Now I'm still in the forest and I meet the nightmarish tomatoes!! I can't help but to think about one strong and cute halfling knight... Then I saw a huge close-up of a murderous tomato. Oh, how thick the white border is!!! (wrong emphasis).

Ohhhh, The rabbits were appearing so handsomely, weren't them? I have to say they're much handsomer than I expected... Ok, TOO CLOSE!!! You are too close to Iggy's face,and as we always say, such a distance means either a fight or a kiss~ Ok, quite too close.

Ha? I want to know why Genzou so angry.. From his words I think he's into the anger towards what Jerry had done in OFW, is it? Or it's just he hate rabbits as in the 4.5 Arcs rabbits were all their enemies?

BOYTOY???!!!! Wow! I have never hear about something like that, it's, fascinating🤣I like it. Boytoy of Gen, strange but ok.

I see... I didn't notice the T2A2G details, in that case indeed OW has no reason to change the icon.

Ah ha, I want to ask about, if there will be the rotating Carrot animation at the starting process in OW, like StLD? Until Arc5 Part1, it still was a static Carrot.

I have to say that not only were the cgs plentiful and precise, but the text dialog at the time rhymed, causing me to want to go to the game over and over again to experience the cgs of those conversations instead of just looking at them in the gallery. It's just amazing.

Carrot is certainly a legend, so many CGs and so complicated chars, making players attracted deeply. (And also makes people want to improve his English..)

(Just noticing that I write chinese at first in this reply..)

I'm hoping that the choices based on these Arc's will affect more than just who Iggy ends up with, but also how far together they go. I'm seemingly asking for too much, as long as Iggy and Genzou can be happy together in one of the endings that's good enough for me, preferably Orlam can come out of it, Gidget can hold on to her heart more easily, Bucks can be free and be happy with Hunar and Saydie at the same time, I want a good ending.

Just like what I said in twitter, Carrot again supprised me! Well the Part1 1/2's release is kind of expectable indeed, since I have read ALL Carrot's tumblr and twitter blogs so I know there was a thinking of "Part3" nearly a month ago. 

Actually for everyone who loves this game, we will all very glad to see this, no one will be mad at it.

Ok but it's truly awful that I again can't play it in the first second cuz I have a contest in Aug 18th and 19th, and it has drive me crazy these days. Awful I can't meet the guy I love in the first time.😢😭Genzouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Iggy's little cocoon, my important and necessary cocoon...

Thank god you stuck around so I can play the game that fills me with such passion in July 2023...

Thank you, Carrot!

WOAH. It's Chattercap, I still remember when I firstly got to Carrot's Tumblr, the last ask was yours:

A garden mushroom, pffff! (No offense! I just think it's a cute term of endearment, my apologies in advance if it bothering you). Hoping you and your own game will get better and better and give more heart-wrenching stories~

By the way, "the little meat flowers", hahahahaha (No offense again)

As a person with multiple identities as a creator and a gamer, Your Excellency has some insights that are more unique and nuanced than those of us who are simply gamers. It feels like I'm learning something new from reading your insightful commentary, as the other friend Vioskye who replied to you said.

True, what's done is done. I just hope they will get their own happy endings at the true end of this story. It's after all, twenty years' knowing each other among them (The first time they get into Wonderland, Iggy was 11, and when OW happened, Iggy was 31), and while it's probably true that they haven't been together for about ten of those years, but how many of us, can get to have a period of companionship in our lives that lasts more than ten years?

By the way, I do know we share the same opinion about your "only aware of what's important to you" with high probability. It's that I want to add some my own addtion, Perhaps. Though I choose the word "counter", my fault...

About Gidget, you remind me of an ask someone anonymously sent to Carrot on Tumblr.

I do think this is an interesting perspective, cuz after playing all existing Arcs, we do know that Gidget has always been about not wanting to be seen as a "normal girl", so this ask I think fleshes out what Gidget is about.

Of course Cecil didn't have to be created by Wonderland "in response to Gidget's heart's desire"; he could have existed in the first place, and it's his respect for Gidget's "true self" that makes him the person who is there for Gidget, and the direct cause of her awakening.

It's truly a pleasure to talk to a friend like you who also enjoys OW and has deep thoughts about it!🤝

Still impressive, as I saw you in OW's comment area, with such a long and thoughtful comment, friend. 🤣

It's interesting for we sharing the same idea about Genzou's reason for crying, cuz like an early comment below by other people, Genzou's crying could be truly complicated.

Yep, dear Genzou truly wasn't fully realizing the impact he cause, which leads to the four Arc's suffering he had. I have to say I'm actually kind of tempted to counter your assertion that Genzou is "only aware of what's important to you", since he probably only does it because he gets a kick out of bullying Orlam... Well, kind of asshole.

Which scene is "the prom night scene" by the way,, I can't remember fully, the part in Arc4 where Gidget dances with Iggy in Wonderland? The way I feel about that part, Gidget totally wants to be with Iggy, probably no "hope they lick each other's wounds", cuz that time she's twisted and nothing else mattered, . Just my feeling.

But having said that, I'm actually more concerned about the recollection of the bouncy castle in Arc4, where it's pretty obvious Gidget is telling Orlam to go to Genzou and telling Orlam that Genzou needs his help (and probably says something about how Genzou's demonstrated lack of need for Orlam is just him being shy, or something like that). I think this corresponds to Iggy's questioning from the vision in Arc2 or whichever Arc it was - the vision where "Genzou" questions Iggy about why he left Genzou behind and why he ran away from Genzou when Genzou need him, and why Genzou come in such a situation that he had no choice but to rely on Orlam's help.

Obviously Gidget means well, but I think her persuasion was an effective element caused the complex issues between the two boys or even among all of them. It's certainly not Gidget's fault, it's, it's kind of unspeakable fault among some of (or even all of) them, and I would say that if Genzou had been able to reflect on himself, if Orlam had been able to muster up the courage to persuade Genzou or at least to leave his side, and if Iggy had been able to stop Genzou instead of following along with the jokes, maybe it would have turned out better. But it's complicated, and the "what ifs" are hard to realize..

"Carrot replied me before 41 seconds." Very much looking forward to your future work indeed~~~

When I was playing Arc2, because of the lack of detail, I was like Genzou was crying over the fact that he killed his friend Orlam. (Though Genzou treat Orlam so bad, I do think he maybe, maybe think Orlam is a friend of his)

So complicated, just like Carrot said. Or maybe it's crying for Iggy who finally could be out of the painful situation he's in? Crying for being able to save his dearest love? Or similar to what I said in the first paragraph, Genzou cried for killing one who he had been bullying at best, but had never thought of letting him actually die.

Complicated, that's why it's called a story, right?

It's actually normal, OW is so appealing! Since I started playing OW, I've been checking Twitter, Tumblr, and Itch for part2 news every couple hours of the day, except for sleeping and eating. 🤣BUT, no rush please!! Remember that line? "Where there aren't any expections. Just love. Acceptence." Though not love like Genzou Towards Iggy, I hope that we waiting fans just become your motivation and not the "expectations" that Iggy fears.

Well,, I hope I have expressed well enough, ahhhhhhhh. Just care yourself much, okey? It's important.

Actually I can imagine that Genzou go along with the case, just after I gave this comment.. Since one perspective of mine in this comment seems to be wrong -- "AND I DON'T HAVE A DO-OVER like playing games". After each arc, Iggy will at least have little memory about the past ones, so I think Genzou shall be the same??🤔

Ok my point is that,, I think Genzou and Iggy might have gone through Arc2 a million times and Genzou didn't succeed in getting Orlam to drop his guard, so never hit canon ending each time before. Ugh.. This might be a question why Iggy will still be going to the castle in the "Arc2s" with having the "memeories"? 😧

Well, it seems so contradictory, but after thinking about this step, I remembered another game I played before. "Raging loop" on steam, in each reincarnation, the main character will basically only have sudden memories when he meet major choices  (mostly memories of failing after choosing the wrong one). So it's no surprise to me that the death loop has resulted in this level of memory fragmentation (Though OW might not be this setting... I think it's still all right🤣). Just like "Raging loop", It's quite normal for me that chars only remembers key events. 

I feel like I may not have expressed my thoughts very clearly💦 For me, whether Genzou accomplished the canonical ending in one sitting, or reached it after numerous failures, it proves to me that he was able to suppress himself in the matter of Iggy, and look for what he thought would help Iggy the most.

(It's just what he's been doing for over a decade though, suppressing himself, after he had a crush on this cute white rabbit since high school🥹😢😭)

OK, StLD seems to have been released while I was sleeping, sadly didn't get to play it in the first second....🥺

Twice End 3, Once End 2, Once End 1... Have to say,, If I follow my own rules and invest myself in Arc2's Genzou as much as possible and think like him, I'll definitely getting End 3.

Yep, cuz I played OW, OFW, and T2A2G early on, and have been an active follower of Carrot on tumblr and twitter, I do know what this episode is doing. In the main game, Genzou killed Orlam so StLD's true ending should be End 2, I have to say it's,, to difficult for me perhaps. After playing I know, if I want to secure Iggy, I need to "go along" with every choice Orlam made.

That's,, difficult, I shall say...

ESPECIALLY HERE, DEAR CARROT! I had to admit, I'm not as stoic as Genzou (of course if I were in his shoes I might be able to be, after all, Iggy's life is truly in Orlam's hands, AND I DON'T HAVE A DO-OVER like playing games), so I'm possibly tempted to go for the "against" option every time a line against Iggy comes up and, especially with the above picture, it's really hard for me to go for the " Yes, Sir"... (And it did lead me to my second End 3)

I was actually, aside from my instinctive reluctance to say that, I was actually very afraid that in case I stayed submissive, Genzou would be COMPELLED like Iggy from Arc3 and leave Iggy... It's a worst ending I could imagine with my poor brain.

Thank god Genzou didn't lose his mind and kill Orlam the moment he puts him briefly off guard, then picks up where the main game Arc2 lastly left off, albeit about to be killed by Bucks.

Ah ha, by the way, it's such a surprise about the pretty text bubbles, the accurate use of animation, and the great ui! And like T2A2G, after one end we will get A NEW MAIN SCREEN, and HERE'S THREE!!! Thank you for so much work, please take care to rest!!!

Very happy to see Genzou's determination and love for Iggy!!! Though it's Orlam's home turf... Looking forward to OW's Arc5 Part2!!! LOL

Thank you for replying me! Haha, since in OFW I truly can't help myself to make choices which are all biased towards Genzou, I get his route end...🥰

And that's cuz my same thoughts firstly in OW, which surely made me choices towards that very person, it's kind of no doubt for me to know whose ending will I get in the OW... Which for me is something I have been extremely desiring! ALL THESE DAYS SINCE THE START OF MY LOVING HIM!!! 

Though it's kind of regretful that OW will soon ends, I and all the players will remember and miss ALL the chars in a long time. (Especially for me💕)

Ahhhhh You are great! Sorry since English is not my mother tongue, and I am not good at expressing, I truly lack the ability to explain how excellent you are in a more idiomatic way.  You deserve countless compliments. I want to talk about how I feel when I play Our Wonderland. 

I'm actually a kind of person who has always had a hard time accepting violence and bloody scenes. So it's true that the first time I play your precious game in Arc 1, I was kind of frightened by the secen that Bucks cut off Iggy's right leg and left arm. But that time I still add the game in my collection titled "Violence but I like". I think that's cuz your story is actually very attractive. The character's fullness, the interaction between the characters, and the supplement to the character's setting in the process of exploration make people like me more and more want to continue reading your story. As I commented in Our Wonderland's comments area or somewhere else, I do think your work is a masterpiece. Well, it's in my collection titled "splendid" now. (I just want to say how great you and OW are! Of course OFW and T2A2G are the same!)

I can imagine how hard it is to be a personal author, but I'm really glad you've persevered so that we can meet Genzy and others. You always show such love and passion for OW and your stories in general and it's just nice to see you get the feedback. 

Actually I was crying and playing OW again yesterday. Because I paid more attention to details this time, I felt more distressed for Genzou. When Genzou said "when are you and Gidge gettin'together, huh?" in Arc 2, I felt very upset, because it coincides with some of my experiences... 

Sorry, I'm writing this with a totally empty stomach, so my mind may not be very clear now, my expression may be kind of strange. I‘ll be very sorry if it bothers you. In a nutshell, hoping you can get more success!🥺💕

Ah! I played the first Arc again just now. I wonder about the accident related to Genzou's eyesight. Did he fall off the stairs while checking the hallway, for Iggy? 

With Bucks', Gidget's, Orlam's past, now I do know why Iggy wanted himslef not to exist...Even in Arc 5, he still blamed everyone's problems on himself. And I have more feelings about Genzou's words, he in Arc 5 said that "Don't you fucking say that. Do you hear me?" The last time I see these words, I thought Iggy was talking about waht happened in Arc 4. You know,, Genzou was severely harmed. Now I see that Iggy was talking about Genzou's eyesight, didn't he? I feel even more heartbroken about them now, much more than I first played this game.

Carrot is so good at making splendid stories 55555. 🥺

Ahhhhhh carrot you're so great! Looking forward to the next part of Our Wonderland!

Wow, you again! LOL It seems that we meet this game the same day, and we played at the same speed! This "wonderland"'s end is more acceptable to me, since "Our Wonderland"'s true ending is in production, and the first four Arc's are painful...

Carrot has made another tiny game which is about Iggy & Genzou's texting! It's cute!! Especially the start interface after the end. (kind of a spoiler)

Same! I just hope they all have a happy ending at the end of the story. With no injury! Whether mental or physical...  For me, I'm too upset to see Genzou dies so miserable in all four Arcs, especially the Arc 4... He only got his sight back in the wonderland, then it was taken away from him, with such violence way. Such violence.🥺

Hand in hand! Sooooooo cute! 5555 I want to see they dating scenes!😭

I do regret it and i do not regret it.😭At least in this game Genzou is not so miserable... I even think this ending is a HE! (But carrot please give Genzou and Iggy a lovely great ending which not include his or my serious injury or so... You know what I mean😭)

It's amazing! Although when I first read this story, I felt a bit uncomfortable with many of the violent scenes, especially the scenes in the fourth act where his legs were cut off and his eyes were gouged out. Yes, I just want to say that Genzou is too miserable! Every time I remind of the scenes that he dies (among all four Arcs), I feel very painful and can't help but shed tears. 😭

I want to know why Genzou is blind in real life. And one thing that I also care about is that, Genzou was rational from the beginning, and even when he restore his sight back, he knew we should go back to reality. However, compared to Genzou, the other three people are much crazier in my feelings. 

I do know that Genzou bullied Orlam since childhood, but in return, Orlam boiled Genzou, or cut Genzou into pieces( and then made him into a dish in front of me? I don't fully understand what happened in Arc 3), or digged Genzou's eyes out and cut his legs down. I think Orlam's too crazy,,, I can't imagine, is it just because he's such one kind?
