🩸🦑 Happy Spooktober from Sleeeeepybug! 🦑🩸
We had the pleasure of playing RUENACLE during the very first day of our Spooktober 2026 FEST, and WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
Our favorite streamers turning into yandere tentacle monsters was certainly not on our bingo card!
As part of our event, we’re using our streams to support indie developers, and our community was able to raise $10 for RUENACLE! It’s our little way of showing appreciation for the creativity, passion, and hard work that goes into bringing indie games to life!
We’d love to share our playthrough with you in case you’d like to see our reactions and experience! 👀
🎮 Our Playthrough:
Thank you for creating and sharing your game with us! We had a BLAST playing it, and we’re wishing you continued success with RUENACLE and all your future projects!
With love,
Diamond | Sleeeeepybug 🦋

Thank you so much for your support and for streaming RUENACLE!!! I loved your stream, it was so fun! Thank you again 💜
Will there be a Portuguese translation?
Unfortunately, I'm only able to release this in English. But I love that request. Thank you for asking!
I love RUENACLE! It was so fun
I'm so glad you had fun!!! Hurray!
I have no words to describe how incredible it was to be part of this!
Everyone worked so hard and delivered nothing but the best of the BEST!
(And I have to say, I’m obsessed with the voice acting, you two were incredible!!)
But the best part was seeing the whole community having fun and helping out! RUENACLE IT'S FANTASTIC!
From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of everyone who helped, THANK YOU for making this game look absolutely incredible. I am in awe. Not only are you a top-tier skilled artist, you are so easy and fun to work with. Thank you thank you thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love RUENACLE! It was so fun to collaborate with you & the others in your community~ I'm happy I was able to participate! ("Infinite Pearls" is my first horror genre story ever!) Anyway, all of the elements added to each other to become a truly interactive work of art! The original soundtracks, art, stellar voice acting, entertaining short stories, etc! <3
Oh, and for anyone who doesn't have the Page Up and Page Down keys on your keyboard (like my laptop), you can use your track pad to scroll up in the text box area to 'rewind' and scroll down to 'fast forward'! :P
And yes, playing this game on Auto really makes it feel like a lovely livestream irl! :3
Although I am not a big horror person, this game is really a nice balance / blend of cozy, campy, pranks, spooky / horror & romance! Not too scary! Highly recommend!! :D
Waaaah! Thank you so much for the review and for your wonderful story! Truly love it!
Thank you so much for allowing my terrible art to be part of this, I can’t express how much I love and how dear this game is to me
First of all, your art is STUNNING! Second of all, THANK YOU for all your contributions to this game! You really helped make it so special!!!!
First! Beta tested for this game and oh my god I love the voice acting especially Rue! Also thank you for featuring us in your game!
Thank you SO much for all your contributions to this game! What a ride!! And thank you for your comment <3
