Lovely Pecan Pie ( Demo )
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
On a lovely day, you go see your friend from highschool, eating some nice desserts he made for you to then go on a fun date with the cute Barbarella or the cool Jaice! Who knows, your sweet old friend might even help you to make things even better between you and the person of your choice... Either that, or being terrified by so many things burnt in his mind forever.
As this is only a VERY SHORT demo, it has some not very polished stuff , english is also not my first language and this is the first project of this kind I make and I would appreciate feedback. I plan to make at least one or more updates of the demo before giving the full game, that will most likely have at least 5 more endings ( it only has 2 currently ) and much more context.

I have windows 7 :(((
damn then idk what to do maybe watch gameplay? there's like 3 on yt
i'll see what can i do later
If it is not too much trouble, can you tell me Dulce's birthday? I'm actually really curious about that. Also, I hope that you don't change the way that he looks, because I really love his features.
the artstyle, the dialogue, everything about this blew me away!! this is amazing!!
Thanks, I honestly kinda rushed some character sprites (gotta update them so they look better and update the desings too) and the 2 endings a bit since I made these last minute but I think the rest is good enough so far... Seeing people think this early demo is good is a relief because sometimes I feel Ehh about it since it's in early development. But yeah thank you, glad u enjoyed ^-^
I luv him so much wahh
Also do you by chance have an account relating to the game itself? I would love to hear updates and more information in general about the game development and especially Dulce since he seems like a interesting character. If not that's also okay, I wish you luck on developing the game and I hope it gets more recognition it deserves despite being a demo so far!
Thank you! I do have a twitter and a tumblr account linked to my profile ( @ deathernoia ) Though I am also planning to make a tumblr blog specifically for the game as I am a multifandom person, and not everyone who wants to know about the game cares much about my other interests and vice-versa.
The blog is @ lovelypecanpie, I haven't posted anything there yet but I will probably do soon, I am not as good at promoting myself and the stuff I do as much as other devs as I'm awkward even on the internet, but I will try for Dulce's sake lol.
YIPEE !!Just followed both accounts :D
thank u !
this game was soso good poor dulce
I'm glad you liked this little demo ^-^ I hope I can get to know more what people think about it so I can improve and make it the best possible in the future.
This game is so nice but I just want Dulce to be happy man ;-;
Oh, and the worst hasn't even happened yet! So far this is really mild, just very little of his suffering is showed here and with not much context, so look foward WORSE!
PORQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE(also I'm looking forward to it, your writing is very nice :D)
Thanks buddy. Also, if it was for me I would make him happy ASAP, but it's just doesn't works like that unfortunately. I am more to him like an "messenger" or whatever, telling the story of what already has happened to him, how he feels and wishes to be, but I cannot control it myself. "Everything in its time", as they say.
Does the demo have multiple endings? I keep getting the same one.
Right now it has two (one for each character) but there will be more, this is just kinda like a playable enough introduction to the characters and concept. I also think, even if there's not many endings right now, there's other little details to dig in (the caesar cipher for example, it adds a bit more context) but I plan to update it at least once before I complete the game so the demo has more stuff, including endings and better sprites because I'm not satisfied with these lol. But thank you for playing it on it's first phase, nice username btw.
I did get different scenes with the two characters, what I meant was that the ending itself is the same, not the contrasting scenes with the love interests. But, thanks to your explanation, I now understand why that is.
I can't wait to see the other endings, and hopefully get some backstory about the poem on that poster, (unless you already added it, and I just haven't found it yet.)
Oh, and I was wondering if Dulce could be a love interest; this is actually something that I really, truly, desire. He is honestly the only one that I want to romance, and he honestly does deserve love.
Thank you so much! But, while we are on the subject of names, what does Dulce mean? Can you please tell me?
The 'poem' on that poster does has to do with things Dulce went through when he was younger, I will add much more about that in the future (since it is actually one of the two main things the story is actually about) like I said before, there is not only that one poster but also the secret messages on the "keysmashing" (because it means actual stuff and it is not just random) and in some images with it it might be hard to see well/kinda long which is kinda on purpose since it has some darker stuff, the poster is more mild compared to these but it's about the same trauma.
I'm glad you are fond of him! It is true he needs some love, though I don't know how well I could answer that question without spoiling much, he is practically the main character of the game so you will see much more of him and get to have a much deeper bond, probably much better than just "romancing".
Dulce is literally translated to "Sweet" (sometimes even "Candy") in spanish (he is mexican) and is more commonly a girls given name, but the word itself is masculine, so I think it fits him well. He is also called Salvador which translates to "Savior" and is a last name and given name for boys (so he'd be "Sweet Savior" which is a bit ironic, thinking about his backstory he'd be more of a bitter victim) though I didn't include that in the game so far and is only in one single file, just a fun fact.
I didn't see the secret message yet, but if it is darker than the poem, then, I can't imagine what he went through in the past. I can't wait for you to elaborate more on both of those things later.
I am so happy to hear that! Dulce is definitely someone that I want to get closer to, and know more about. You are a very skilled writer, and it is especially evident in the way that Dulce vocalises his responses, as well as having a wide vocabulary. Moreover, he is truly adorable~ Those are only a few of the things that I like about him. I am eagerly anticipating more dialogue/content with him!
I don't know enough about him to call him a 'savior', however, he is definitely sweet. I crave sweets all the time, but I would trade them all for him. So, please keep working hard on the game, and let me have my 'sweet candy'.
Oh, and also, if I had my way, I would change him from a 'bitter victim' to a happy person who can live freely. (And erase those painful memories from his mind.)
I can't wait either until people decipher these, I don't really remember what specifically said on that one image since I encrypted the text it almost a month ago and I also made many texts like these (which is kinda like vent writing from Dulce, some are less obvious and shorter like the one of the poster but others are more explicit and longer) and I plan to add more, one of the reasons the diary is there.
I'm glad at least a few people so far like him, my brother even kinda pressures me reminding me everyday to work in the game which can be a bit annoying but at least I know he cares haha. Actually one of the reasons I do want to do this stuff is not only to have my own outlet and feel like I am actually doing something, but to also find people who like the same kind of stuff I like and can know their opinion about what I make, these are probably the best fuel.
I hope (since I have other art projects apart from this one) I can put out more content around the end of the year and finish the whole game the next one, thanks for the kindness and interest.
AAAAAA i really love ur art style and dulceeeee>!!!!jfnsjnf its nice - idk how many endings it has but ngl i just dulce to be happy man :((
Thank you so much! For now this demo only has two endings, but I already have many ideas for more endings in the future (I'll probably update the demo at least once before the full game), maybe Dulce could be happy some day somehow in one of them...
