1. and 6.

i found your game on Furaffinity through a random search of hypnosis/corruption themed things, as those are two of my top-ten kinks, and i'm pretty sure i found this piece of yours first and absolutely LOVED it <3

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43266816/

(to clarify, i often search Furaffinity for Corruption, Hypnosis, and Transformation with different additional search parameters and terms because i love deep-diving for awesome art and content that i may have missed due to it being posted years before)

and then when i found out there was a game you developed based on this character and premise, i was all-in <3 <3 <3

pretty sure beforehand id seen your older work as an artist, from your awesome MLP characters and art also involving hypnosis themes too <3 but Cruel Serenade locked me in and hasnt let go <3 i LOVE the gameplay, scenes, sexiness, and the overarching storyline you've built for the world Mezz resides in! <3 <3

Makes sense then. Not a ton of people coming in from here, but definitely a few.

I don't quite remember. I think it might have been 2 or 6? Or it could've been the website LewdGamer back when that site was still going tickity-boom.

2 and 5 for me. I believe I saw something hypnosis related with the first game on e6 then found it on Itch

I legitimately don't remember, but I'm assuming either 3 or 6

3 and 4. Someone I followed gave it a recommendation.

Finally one for socials! Not that surprised, but there's been VERY little coming over from there, despite fanart cropping up from time to time and people discussing/mentioning the game.

6. Discovered the game through FA
But before that I'd also seen your art on E6, Derpibooru, and some fanart of the game on here which led me to the game (Chapter 1)

6 for me. Hypno stuff is my favorite kink, so doing some casual searches for that had you pop up for me one day.

2, for me. Despite Cruel Serenade not containing this fetish, I found it while searching for games containing cumflation, particularly when I downloaded another game (I think Lust Doll) and saw a rabbit staring at me in the little pop-up that suggests other games to try. For once, I'm actually happy a suggestion had nothing to do with what I was searching for.

Aw, thanks. Yeah, pretty proud of how the thumbnails turned out, especially the GT one.

6 and 7 love your art on derpibooru, but I wasn’t aware of Cruel Serenade until I got a Furaffinity account. The game looks fun too, hopefully I’ll be able to download it on my new computer.

Oh you haven't had a chance to check them out yet? Definitely then, I certainly think they're a lot of fun, though I'm obviously biased.

The game looks fun, I’ll check it out when I get my new computer for sure

3. Was following  SilverEdge on twitter who was doing a corruption comic I liked and he gave a shout-out to corruption games he has into.

Oh interesting, didn't realize. Well glad to have you.

1&6. Found your art on here because I love hypnosis stories and then heard about the game.

5

If I remember correctly, option 2.

Was looking for games on a similar wavelength to other hypnosis-heavy games lile Odyssey of Gianna, artwork got me curious and the shade of green I saw in the bunny's eyes (this was Gutter Trash) clicked the right switch in my brain.

Glowing eyes are so much fun. Green especially.

i think 2 but i might have also found it on a thread about gay sex games on u18chan

1. I was recommended CS from the purchase page of a different game on itch (Grove, maybe? Can't remember.)

I primarily keep tabs on Bluesky and Tumblr of all things. I dropped itch altogether after that nasty business. I still use FA pretty frequently, I just don't really expect most folks to do any business related communications over it.

Fair enough. I do hope Itch is somehow able to pull themselves back together after this, because, as this poll is showing, that's the main avenue for discovery. But we'll see.

1. I came for your MLP art found it on Derpiborru, I stayed for Cruel Serenade.

2, popped up while I was browsing tags

2

5.

1 and 6 for me. Had already come across your art on FA and then Cruel Seranade came out--was happy to purchase the game.

I think I discovered it through a combination of Itch search recommendation and or Furaffinity? It's hard to specifically remember to be honest. If it wasn't either of those, than it was probably via twitter post.

E621. Saw the animation posted there, decided to check it out. Eventually saw news I think of the second one releasing. Followed after.

2

Stumbled across it cause that kink set is just mmnf. Then I randomly found you here later, weird how that worked out.

2. I didn't even realize you had an account here until a few weeks ago.

7, Friend told be about it

7. Was there in your Furaffinity gallery before Cruel Serenade had sort of a story concept. It was less of a post and more of a happenstance that I found you within the MLP tag. You can still find my comment on the very first post of Cruel Serenade.

Oh yeah, I remember you! Been here a while.

5, which lead to 2, and maybe 1 for GT

6. Someone drew fanart of your game. That's what lead me to it. :)

Nice! Which one?

This one! Drawn by Cass. :)

Oh excellent. Yeah, Cass did some good stuff.

I found it when searching up bondage/hypnosis games on itch.io years ago

Im a little bit late, but for me its 6. I love Hypnosis (especially not knowing ones :3) , and also nsfw games. So I searched for Hypnosis games and found yours.

Hey, glad to have you. I know FA is a fairly niche site at this point, but there are definitely a few that discover the game here, and I'm certainly glad that's the case.

itch i,o and I think that I'm stuck, no idea of what to do XD maybe my fault but idk XD

Which game, and where are you stuck? Keep in mind GT has a forum over on Itch as well for questions, but feel free to elaborate here since we're already started.

I got to the point where I get the ear rings,, but I don't find a way to explore further: I tried humping all the edges, but... nothing o.o
it is early game.

Oh, so CS1, first game. The first area ends in a gate. Did you get to it? You have to open in via the building over on the right.

hmm not sure why but I can keep on playing haha ty.
