Hi! From my experience, a .crdownload usually means the download wasn't completed - Try downloading it again and checking your network connection during it too! Let me know if you still have problems after!

Really enjoyed your writing, it's beautiful and compelling as usual! I really felt a connection to Kirana and Gabriel and can't help but wish them all the happiness they deserve at the end of the world! Their bonding and light banter was really fun to read, and delivered even better with the stellar voice acting! Great job on this!

I really love the "moments" story mechanic so I've been keeping my eye on this for a while, and the demo absolutely delivered!

I loved each  and every one of the characters introduced, but I have to say, Cameron and Deja have my whole heart, they are exactly the kind of besties I would have and loved the interaction between the trio! (As a side note, if Cameron is ever made a dateable option, I would definitely pick them first, they are adorable and funny and despite the fact I'm probably more introverted than them, would protect them with my life. For now I am a-ok with being just besties and calling them hot while they "reverse like a NASCAR professional" - definitely not my favorite interaction so far, nope)

The love interests are all very charming with their own quirks! Like I said in my review, love what a natural charmer Percy is! Really love his vibes and interactions with MC. Jamie, Jamie is so TALL and honestly I had to laugh when I first saw him after Reynah mentioned he's like a rabbit... like he was not at all what I expected him to look like from her description lmao. Also loved how MC was comparing him to Howl and the illusion was shattered by his dry-ish personality haha but definitely felt like someone I'd get along with personally. And very curious to know what is behind the relation between him and Cameron... I'm hooked! Meanwhile Elio! Galileo! I love how he's the shortest of the 3 despite feeling like he has the biggest personality, I really like how sweet and energetic he is, though he was going overboard with the apologies at first meeting - can't wait to dig more into that! Also his bear eared bucket hat is the cutest thing ever.

Character design and art is soooo goooood I loved all of them, especially Cameron! I could stare at the art all day, amazing job on that! Expressions were all done so well and full of life! Can't wait to see more, maybe in terms of CGs or different outfits? Looking forward to the Kickstarter!

I like that we can play as different personalities in this, though in my first try I got Summer and I went "Huh doesn't sound like what I'd get" and I was right, Summer was way too bold haha! I redid the test with more 'stoic' choices and got Fall, which I definitely vibed with much more. It's only a suggestion, but maybe you could list the personality choices after the quiz result with their description, in case anyone wanted to get something else afterward (like they do in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon). But thanks to that I saw how different the wake-up and introduction scenes could be so that was cool! Will definitely redo the demo with other personalities again later!

Finally, only minor hiccups to mention is stuff like Elio's sprite popping up in front of Percy before the volleyball match, winning the scavenger hunt but outro mentioning mc lost - though when I reloaded the save at the scavenger hunt part, this time mc DID end up losing haha, not sure if it's random or set according to mc's parameters or what, but just thought to mention! 

Sorry for the super long comment, I just had to gush over how good it was 😭😭
Can't wait to see more of Keyframes, and wishing you good luck on your future Kickstarter!

Absolutely loved this! It was such an enjoyable experience, the production value was off the charts! I adored how you used the comic-panel style, I've always been intrigued by it's usage in VNs but your minimal animations made it feel really dynamic too! And the lighting was spot-on too, the sprites melded perfectly with the background and was a delight to look at! The voice acting was very top-notch too, it felt very natural; they did an amazing job! 

(Slight spoilers for people who haven't played it yet!) As an avid consumer of Japanese media, I immediately got the hints from the title of the game and Raku's name, very ingenious, but when the first hint arrived I still went "No wayyyy" haha I really enjoyed the twist. I really enjoyed both Raku's and Nelli's characters, they both felt very real and interesting! Loved Nelli's kind and no-nonsense manner but she's willing to do what needs to be done for the people she cares about. Raku was creepy but also very dream-like. I really liked how he described his feelings for Nelli, it was very touching. Their shared memories were cute to read too, relationship goals! Overall a top-notch game, I really enjoyed this, well done!

(Copy-pasting review as comment again because I'm not 100% sure which is better so just doing both asdfghjkll)

I truly love the aesthetic of this work, it's so good! I'm a general fan of retro/nostalgic themes and this one really had a nice TV scammer vibe haha. It kind of reminded me of that social link in Persona 3 with the shopping channel!!

I liked Haul's(I see what you did there, I think) expressions a lot, he looks so cute, the art is very pretty! Would love to see more of him and bond over being broke again haha.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the demo! As a novice writer as well, I'm  glad the writing seems fine too!

Lucien will definitely take care of you and provide whatever you want, as long as you stay with him :)
Hope you enjoyed the demo!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like Lucy! 

MC getting isekai'd as themselves are actually pretty common in general isekai, but not in otome ones so I decided to mix it up. Just wanted to write something where the LI accepts mc for who they are,  both inside and out.

The original heroine will show up in the story eventually! All I can say now is that she has a bone to pick with MC haha.

Thank you for your kind words, it's a bit slow-going but I'm chipping away at things bit by bit!

Thank you for your interest! It's definitely a self-indulgent mix of tropes that I enjoy, hopefully the full story lives up to the interest!

Wow, thank you so much for streaming yanduke! I felt a little bad about the demo being too short haha, but I'm glad it interested you!

I really enjoyed this! Already love Oz, although his voice is so much more abrasive than I thought it'd be lmao. Really wanna see more of our dynamic duo, working together after getting off on the wrong foot is always fun to watch. Not to mention he's indisputably a murderer so how they'll make it work in the end(if it's even possible)
Also can I just say Aslan's color scheme fits more of a 'Tiger' than a lion...(and the actual killer dubbed Tiger??)... peak asshole energy tho, I like him.
Don't know enough about Arthur just yet but I really like his design too, and the bear themed cafe... very cute.

Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Do you think you could DM me? Either on twitter, tumblr or at Discord(yannysif#0616) is fine, it'll probably be easier to discuss elsewhere and share any links!

Thank you! Haha yes, I've been interested in the yandere boom in recent years too!

Oh I'd be very interested in having translations for my game! But honestly I'm not sure how I'd go about implementing it, I'll have to look it up, but anyone is free to make translations from my script if that's what you want!

Thank you for trying it! Currently Lucien's blushing sprite is my favorite too haha

That's a really nice name! I hope it didn't make things too awkward haha

Thank you! It really was abrupt, I'll try to put out the full day 1 demo as soon as I can!

Thank you for your comment and well wishes! Your English is totally fine, and I can really feel your interest in the game and really appreciate it! I'll try to answer as much as I can here.

I know in the isekai otome genre, especially in korean manhwa, reincarnations as a heroine/villainess/extra is very common, but this one would be more closer to Japanese isekai anime and otome game concepts! I just decided to mix a bit of this and that haha. I just like the idea of being your own person instead of "borrowing" or "mixing" with another personality. And yes, once Lucien became self-aware, over time he falls in love with MC - so he is already in love by the start of this vn! 

The heroine in the original otome game is named Rosalind, and I've planned to have her appear later in the story. This will be the first time I'm sharing info on her, but she will also be self-aware and have some resentment towards MC because she didn't appreciate being controlled, even if it isn't really MC's fault. Also, I don't have an actual villainess character in this story because Rosalind fills that role somewhat - will be explained in-game later!

I actually appreciate questions like these, while I can't answer everything openly, it does help me think and develop on the story more! To make it easier to ask questions, I will be making a tumblr blog for this game so be sure to keep an eye out for that!

I'm glad to hear it worked for you, and that you liked it! Thank you!

Thank you! I'm glad you like Lucien haha

I really enjoyed this game a lot! Crowe is such an interesting character, I'm curious to learn more about him! Also his sharp teeth(!!)

Idk if it's because I've recently become a dev as well but now I'm looking at VNs with fresh eyes and I can see a lot of attention to detail in this game, down to the transitions and sound effects, which is really impressive! Can't wait to see where this goes!

(Also thank you so much for the review on my little demo, made me really happy! I'm always confused on whether to write in review or in comments but maybe I'll just do both next time haha)

I liked the soft autumn aesthetic of the game, and Chester is a cutie! Can't wait to see more!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

This was fun! I really loved the aesthetics of the game, it did take me back to the old internet forum vibe I also really liked the pixel art, and the monochrome with a splash of red! Inferno's expressions were spot on too, and the attention to detail was so good

Looking forward to the other routes!

Sorry to hear that :(

In my next game update I'll try to see if I can upload a browser version as well, though I can't promise anything since I've never done it before

Good luck with the fix, thank you for your interest!

Oh I'm sorry, I'm not very sure on how to solve that, other than maybe temporarily turning off your anti-virus program?

https://itch.io/t/2259614/antivirus-doesnt-let-me-download-my-game  - maybe check this thread?

Or if you're using google chrome, this link might help

I hope you can get it fixed!

Haha, there's a reason that's the first option ;) (because I'd definitely pick that too)

Ahh, honestly it IS short because I actually did plan the whole day 1 content for the demo but couldn't finish it in time. I'll be working on that next to get it out as soon as I'm able.

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you! I'm very much a novice writer so it makes me happy to know you liked the writing!

Ahh thank you so much for the kind words!! Even though the demo was shorter than I wanted, I'm glad it had the desired effect for you! And I'm happy you like Lucien, I'm a beginner on designing characters too so your words mean a lot! I can't wait to share more of him and other characters in the future too ^^

Haha yes! Those are exactly the tropes I wanted to play around with in this piece, I'm glad you've taken an interest in it!

This was really good! I absolutely love the combination of cute aesthetics with underlying horror. The art is really adorable, and I love Mychael with a y! I was wondering what the difference between 'I' and 'you' meant but it clicked into place at the end and got me excited, can't wait to see more!

Thank you! I'm happy you like the art too! I'll do my best with future updates too

Thank you so much! I'm glad this caught your interest, I'll do my best to update it!

I love all your works sm idk how you create such compelling characters each and every time!!! 
With just the barest of info on them, just the interactions with MC in the prologue was more than enough to make me fall for each and every one of them aaaaa
Can't wait to see more of this!

I think after accepting the flower, you'll have to wait for the next playthrough to get access to his route! The first event will then be something like "Have we met before?"
