Eighth Heaven
A downloadable assemblage for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Esrafil's trumpet hath rung. In three months, a world will end. A world subject to the throes of nature and chance. A world where for a moment you see the sun draw curtains through leaves, and for a moment you laugh together at a dumb joke, and for a moment you see her blush, and never again, never in the same way.
But there is another way. Indeed, man has snatched eternity from God's grimy hands. This is the next stage of human evolution; an existence unburdened by fleeting moments.
ཐི𝔦ཋྀ Faced with the choice of this afterlife, Nita and Galia grapple with love and change. One girl attracted to the immovable gravity of the future and another stuck in the tempting inertia of the past.
ཐི𝔦ཋྀ Many decades later, in the fungal mass that remains of the world, a lonely girl searches for a companion. Wronged by the world and writhing in her unconsented involvement with life itself, she believes that what is needed to mend her is someone who shares her condition.

art, music, and writing are all amazing. both stories were very compelling and i liked how the connection between them slowly unfurled over the course of the novel...!
! ! ! thank you ! ! !
I played this at 3 in the morning and I got what I expected (tears) plus a little more (incredible visuals and soundtrack).
The execution of the two-sided story is very well done. I don't have anything new to say about the story that others haven't said (which I'm in absolute agreement with, my eyes melted and my heart ached), so I'll talk about the technical aspects.
First off, the character designs are top notch, and the artwork in overall is just absolutely gorgeous. Character expressions are especially drawn very well too. The blending with processed irl images as the background is also awesome. All this, alongside the inclusion of one of the only Dali paintings I actually like (as shown in the preview screenshots) so thats a huge plus, but that's personal taste.
The soundtrack with it's mood and sound pallette are a huge complement to the game, albeit a little repetitive at times and I wish there's more tracks/variations throughout (though this is a minor issue and the short runtime makes it not that noticeable, it's just that I hang around specific screens and dialogues for a little while). Though maybe it's also just me REALLY liking the soundtrack and I'm craving for more (bandcamp upload when?)
So yeah, left me devastated and I look forward for more. I'm a shroomer now. Awesome!
we are all shroomers in this house!!!!!!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this and when I went to look for more, I discovered that this is your first and only game! This is amazing stuff from you and the others that worked on this. I won't get into detail so as too not spoil anyone but I loved how subtle things were and how the pain of Nita's predicament was portrayed alongside their beliefs of wanting to be enough. This left me with an aching feeling in my heart and I'm glad you all made this!
thank you :))
i'd be lying if i said that the horror didn't lie in how mundane it was. really wanted to make something that looks tame on the label but just gets worse and worse. and then you don't realise how bad its gotten !
again, thank you for playing c':
obviously i love a Subtle flavor of toxic yuri that burns hot and deep in the core and this is certainly one where you might actually miss it if you blink. It's very funny and ironic that underneath the macabre "together forever even in death" bittersweet story, there's this sharp and raw substructure of misdirection and resentment and ultimately revenge. Awesome to see a brand new team come together like this. The quality of the writing, art, and music is all top notch and fits together so well. Cannot wait to see what all of you do next whether as a team or in solo work
kai!!!!! i already replied to what you said on fluxer but thank you c': tysm!!! have a meemaw as my thanks...
Thank you !! It was such a special experience making this. I hope to make lots more stuff with everyone...
very beautiful,, it's like i was sliced open and filled up with shrooms,, i am now crying uncontrollably
i'm!!! super glad!!! we will soon have a shroomer nation
