I love seeing more about these two and their relationship. Beautiful yet sad story, It's heartwrenching to know they can't have a nice ending for the way they both are and the reality they live in qwq but I'm still hoping Evil one day finds someone who really loves him, I still want him to be happy. Thank you again for this awesome upload, even if short it always tugs at my feelings </3

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m always glad to hear that you enjoyed the Evil games. I want Evil to be happy too, but it might be a while yet :”D 

Thank you also for your comment on the Ambition Plot sequel devlog! I never got to reply, but I really appreciated your encouragement. Hope you’ll enjoy the game when it’s out!

As always, Arbit knocks it out of the park with the -a gazillion out of ten- story-telling. I just adore the dynamic that these two have (my Hart x Evil ship is sinking, noooo)~ Gotta stay loyal to my original team lol
The language, the art, the setting of the narrative, everything's out of this world!!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT <3 KUDOS TO THE DEV~

Thank you! Don’t let HartEvil sink, they’re still the best office workers 🥺 I’m glad you like EvilZoomer too, though :D

This one was my favourite Evil/Zoomer one yet, even though it's the saddest. How many more O2A2s need to be scheduled before they can live a happy high life (or even just a happy middle life!)

(+1)

Thank you! The O2A2s keep on happening, and I’m glad to hear this is your favourite one yet! Who knows when they’ll get their happy low life…
