When Heaven Knocks.
My entry for Swap Jam 8: Out of Control! feat. my bonus themes of "from the other side".
One year prior, the town of [REDACTED] suffered from an odd incident, where students from the local school were compelled to dance... Evidently, against their own will. Only one student was unaffected by this mass hysteria.
Now a year after the incident, a mysterious man visits an old abandoned church...
When Heaven Knocks is a very story heavy RPG Maker explorer game about two guys who are a little weird about each other.
CONTENT WARNING: Death of a child (mentioned), Bullying, Mild Swearing, Possessive Behavior
UPDATE 6/12: I have ironed out all the bugs (I have found) but as always, let me know if you find more!

For what is worth, the art looks really nice, specially the CGs and the story seemed pretty interesting being rooted in real cases of mass hysteria.
Keep up the good work!
I'm sorry you found a game breaking bug! Still, I'm glad you found some enjoyment in it. As soon as voting period ends I'm going to be ironing out bugs so thank you for reporting them ^^
Just like I enjoyed your other recent game, I enjoyed this one with the same caliber. Characters are really good! And so is the art of this game! Really love the established characterization and relationship of the two as well. BGM/Music Choices is good I guess.
Overall, a very cool game.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^ I'll definitely give the video a watch as soon as I'm able ! Making a video is hard work so I'm always flattered when someone goes through the effort to make one of my silly games.
Oh, I love obsessive weirdos. And Samir turning into a ride-or-die freak over this obsession? A 10/10 writing decision. I would have loved seeing him rip off his own wings and present it to Cami like some fucked up promise ring. I can't wait for the downloadable version, so I can put this next to the greats, like Mogeko Castle or the Zeno remake! ^^
Thank you! Obsessive characters that aren't even necessarily villains is so interesting to me, so I really wanted to make one for this story. I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^
Yes! I totally get it. He reminded me a little of Homura in that way --- a girl who does care for others, but because she loves Madoka so much, that devotion eclipses all else. It seems Samir's love similarily damns him as much as it saves Camille, and vice versa. It's a horrifically beautiful thing.
By the way, the download zip you added seems to be for a different game? I thought I should let you know.
Oh my gosh thanks for telling me! Absolutely ridiculous that I didn't notice that I uploaded the wrong file 😭
