I'm loving this so far! Though there's one "Bad End" that felt kind of abrupt. (Spoilers for Day 3)

I was going for a "Pro-Ren" playthrough, picking choices specifically to make him happy, spending as much time with him as possible, and in general either reacting positively to his odd behavior or waving it off. With this in mind, I refused to go out with Teo and Co., thinking I'd avoid making Ren jealous since he wasn't going to be there.

Here's where I got confused. After Leon calls and I refuse again, things started glitching out and I got a "Bad End". The thing is, Ren was claiming I was avoiding him. I replayed and agreed this time so I ran into Ren again, but it was after the outing with friends. This "Bad End" just feels misplaced because I made no choice to actively avoid or evade Ren since he wasn't part of the conversation until after agreeing (Angel mentions the possibility of seeing Ren).

Other than this though, I've loved everything in this demo and I can't wait for more XD

wait when does he call us out for avoiding him? bc in my bad end he literally tells me to agree with teo since something good will happen to us in the future if i do

It was part of the 'Blackscreen/Shaking Text' section, as the usually pink text starts turning red.

it might have been after the second attempt. I did it a few times to see if I had made a wrong choice earlier, and to see what else Ren would say since he remembers your choices.

i think your talking about the first bad ending then and misinterpreting it. ren calls us out for hiding from his bad end, not because we were avoiding him. you can also get the first bad ending on different days (not only day 3) so it wouldn't make sense for ren to say we're avoiding him if we were with him for all of day 1/day 2 😂😂😂

No, this was specific to rejecting the outing with Teo and Elanor.

I tested all the "Bad End"s and he only accuses Angel of avoiding him on day 3

I remember because it was my first "Bad End" since I was spending all my time with Ren and selected the "I think I have a crush on him" on Day 2

your talking about the 1st bad ending which you get no matter what day your on. so even if its day 1, day 2 or day 3, ren will still say the same thing. he will tell us not to hide from him bc we're scared of his bad end and tease us a little before doing the jump scare.

the 2nd bad ending is one you can also get no matter what day it is. ren will tease us for getting his bad end again before doing the jump scare once more

the 3rd bad ending is unique to day 3 and you can't get it on day 1 or day 2. its the one i mentioned earlier when ren asks us to agree to teo. but ren says nothing about us avoiding him in any of his bad endings so i still don't know where your getting this from 😂😅 what did he say to you exactly? bc maybe we're both thinking of different scenes and it will help me figure out what your talking about

I replayed it and I did misremember some things.
The first time you disagree to go out with Teo & Co., Ren asks if you were thinking about him and if that's why you didn't go, and he teases you without giving the jumpscare before sending you back. It's after, if you still disagree that he'll ask "why are you avoiding me?", which I still feel doesn't fit with this bad end since Ren isn't involved until after the outing and Angel has no reason not to call/invite Ren later.

I got this too, it confused be a lot but i just went back on my save and said yes.

I ultimately did the same, I just brought it up because the "Why are you avoiding me?" line felt out of place for that specific bad end.

Hiya!! Is it possible to take a screenshot of this scene in particular (or possibly replay the demo and write down a few of the lines for me to reference)? ;w; To my knowledge, Ren does not mention the word "avoid" at all, nor does he ever accuse the player of avoiding him.

However, like someone else previously mentioned, Ren does have a similar line where he says, "...Why are you hiding from me?" — though this is in reference to the player hiding away due to how off-putting the ending feels. This particular Dead End is also obtainable during Days 1 and 2 as well, so even without this context, it wouldn't make sense for Ren to accuse the player of avoiding him if they were together for the entire day lmao

Regardless, I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed the demo!! It really means a lot to me and I appreciate hearing your feedback ^^ And I'm also very sorry for all this confusion as well! I'd be happy to look at and rework your suggestion with one of his Dead Ends, however, there isn't much I can do if I can't find what you're talking about dhgdsjg ;v; /nm /pos

Oh, don't worry about it! Despite the confusion, I'm still very much enjoying the demo and anxious for Day 4! I'm really enjoying the option to not be freaked out by Ren. It's an interesting way to play it, and imo more engaging than immediate fear.

I'm trying to getting it again, but I think my file bugged(Ren is just repeating the first Dead End, nothing to worry about. I'll just clear my saves and play again, and that should fix it.) so I'll get back to you once I get a screenshot.

Edit: I must have mis-read it before. He's saying "Why are you hiding from me?" now. I picked all the same options, spent as much time as possible with him, but I'm not getting the 'avoid' line I thought I did. Sorry, it was me all along ^^'
