Decided to comment after finishing all the routes and gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed it! When going through it a second time, it really reminded me of another reincarnation game- Intertwine. Of course no yanderes in that game compared to the lovely Yasha lol.
Really enjoyed jumping through hoops in order to get different endings [and rolling through the comments for guides to ones I could not reach]. I very much enjoyed both characters and how they developed with each loop along with the choices that changed them along the way.
I think the only thing that jarred me a little bit was a moment I was romancing Yasha [ignoring the first death by train] and I think this was the third time[?] and already having learned of Sage and the plan. Because I think in the second go is when he gives his number, and then other loops there is no number given if I recall. Which understandable as seen with each play there moments do remember the past ones, but idk it just caught me off guard there. Yet it was just a minor moment before I went back to that ending grind baby tfgyhju Of course this could be not too right, as I cannot recall everything as I just plowed this game like a train late into the day and onto the night so the brain not fully there no more rip
Besides that a part of me is just so curious to see those past lives with Yasha. See him before he went batshit crazy [even more in that one ending with death by string there rip]. As there are mentions of those past lives throughout the game.
Thank you so much for playing to completion and leaving such a sweet comment!!!
OH thank you so much re: Sage and the phone number! I think you're right, in the 3rd playthrough I don't think he gives his phone number-- which I guess we could pretend the MC memorized his phone number by heart 😂 but maybe not that likely in this day and age LOL -- I'll go back and check for consistency and fix up!!! 🫡
Oh man!! I feel you! I thought about some kind of DLC or expansion which goes through the past lives-- but not sure if there'd be enough long term interest (and also I'm a noob writer... not sure if I could pull it off LOL) but it is fun to think about!!
If you have any ideas for a past life of theirs, let me know and I'll incorporate it in a super short spinoff after the main game is complete!! Lol!!
I think what could be an interesting thing, if my memory was right, if the phone number Sage gave us was just left at our home. And then when beginning a new loop it's found left on the nightstand or just someplace we check before heading to work o uo-! Just it being now apart of the loops or it could be memorized. Seeing the loops where we are repeating lines Yasha said from a previous loop and spooking him a bit hehe. Also phone number memory is indeed awful and I am lucky to have a silly number which is easy to remember loool.
Noob writer or not your game was very captivating with the need to grind for all the endings in one go fgyh
I think two ones that would be interesting, at least to me rip, probably would be their 'first' meeting as soulmates and maybe even the life with their daughter who passed from the plague. Or even any of the children for the matter as ik with the daughter I got curious about, but then curious if any of their children witnessed Yasha starting to slip in the sanity. Probably would not be fun coming home and just seeing your dad holding your mother who isn't moving anymore tghy
Lil edit but think another interesting thing could even be a first encounter with Sage in one of the past lives since the player is no stranger to him. That and in one ending he can take on the soulmate bond. Curious if he developed feelings for the player in the past lives or what his reaction when first put on this case of hunting Yasha down. Probably each past player reacting differently just as ours did either going with a plan [failing horribly] or deeming him crazed before telling Yasha or something dheueh
These are some amazing ideas....!!! I'm gonna have to write them all down LOL. I'll make sure to give you credit/tag you if/when I do implement them! 🫡❤️❤️❤️
Oh man though I'm a bit of a softie to be honest and hearing the idea of the children seeing Yasha losing it or coming back to see the PC not moving.... 😭😭😭 honestly sounds super compelling but OOF I dunno if I could write it 😂😂😂 I'd be too busy crying too LOL
Maybe I'll have to (lovingly) kidnap you to write it for us!!! 🥹🙌❤️ (jkjk LOL)
Thank you so much again for this wealth of good ideas and fun thoughts!!! 😍😍😍
DFGHJFGHJ if you use them so help me I'll be flustered to death LOL. But more then happy to have provided some random ideas your way! Your game is very enjoyable and I cannot wait to see the polished game with all the lovely cgs [I saw one wip of one in the comments and the excitement is REAL]
I do love me some good angst and there be potential rip. Even thinking now if in one of the lives if the player passes away from illness with Yasha and the kids there by the player's side at the end. I could see that ending much like the ending I first got when smacked by the train with Yasha drastically following after [though maybe not depending on his sanity and the kids being there] But if do decide to venture into that sad territory, have some tissues and cute animal videos on the side. As ik I needed some cute videos as I played another yandere jam game last night [I poked Sunlit Grove and I shall speak no further other then don't play it at freaking midnight]
Funny I do have a degree in creative writing, but my writing isn't all too good rip I'm better at ideas then most bits looooool
And again it's no problem, I just shared my random thoughts of things that popped after playing the game tfgyhuj
