oop- did i make a lapse in judgment? maybe..maybe, but YO THIS GANME ISFIREEEE OMG EVERYTHING IS JUST AHHHHH
i love his charatcer the cast except for those ppl they know who they are and what they did-- but YOOOO i need to get all endings this was incredible
scary, fun, sweet, cute, thrilling, creepy, just ughhhh so good even got protective and worried for him like omg-- no wonder i got that ending
the way i got to see things the few youtubers didn't get in their playthroughs was wild to me. i think this was a beautifully well-made game that I hope to one day complete, but i will admit the secret stuff and red ppl had me spooked! Still however i hardly play rpg type games but this gave me a newfound appreciation towards em!
Hihi, just finished Yuzuki's route, going to play Ichi's too but omg- this game is wonderful!
I had this in my saved to play, and honestly hadn't any idea I'd love this game as much as I did. The art's nice, the music, the storytelling, the end credits too- being cinematic. Not to forget, the plot twist which we the player believed up until the reveal, it was so shocking and interesting. Very much enjoyed that part as I feel you guys did the plot twist right, it was a nice build up, the background and direction, overall, I loved it!
Also, spoiler territory this point forward!!!
I like how the game and its writing was more than self-aware that the love between the two was very rushed and forced, not genuine or realistic. It's also nice to know that the Mc actually was being delusional, which even I while playing was saying stuff like, "This seems rushed though, I don't even think he loves you-" and then suspecting him as the odd guy, or maybe the mc just being so invested casting aside rationality.
So, once I got all the outcomes, and then finally the true good ending I was more than happy to see redacted got what they deserved. The lover's aspect was so sweet and captivating I was fully invested, and worrying about how redacted would find out. I really liked the dynamic between the two, it's a nice troupe that I think was done right despite the game being short- even then it was good, and I wanted to know more! So again, love the options, the choices catering to the delusions, her twisted reality, and then the true reality, and her actions coming back to haunt her and bring her back to reality. I love concepts like these, and I would be lying if I said I didn't want to see more from you and anyone else who worked on this project!
Also, for the bestie being odd, I'm so glad this came full circle (despite me not playing his route just yet).
Neways to wrap this up, Overall S tier game! Great all around and giving them realistic personalities despite the wild scenarios at play, it all worked just right not feeling forced outside the perspective intended. If you do have another project coming up- I'd love to tune in and I again appreciate the writing and mechanics. As someone majoring in film and communication hoping to one day make something, this kind of just gave me the further push, so thank you for that too!! This was very fun and engaging it really felt like I was watching a show play out, rather than just a VN game and I came to enjoy the cast as well. Again, wonderful little game <333
Hihi, I love playing visual novel like games, so I decided to check this one out! I like the designs and how conveniently a bat with an invite shown up. Very cute and to the point, also like the explanation on why we would go to the party.

Upon arriving and meeting the first character, I must say, the dialogue and actions are a bit difficult to tell apart. I can't quite understand when it is the character (ours or theirs) is speaking unless the VA pops up, then I'm like "Oh, they're speaking now- okok, cool."
I feel like, maybe if the difference was more apparent it'd work a lot better, maybe like more emphasis, bolding, italicizing, or more usage of quotations on dialogue, or things like- 'sure,' to highlight inner dialogue rather than spoken, or if sarcasm is being used. Another easy way could be putting inner thoughts, rather than spoken outwardly in parenthesis, it's a clear indicator. Sorry if this isn't a big deal, I just have small issues with the identifiers here, is all. This practically was my only real critique. I'd like to play more and see all the options, however it's really hard to get through it with being confused on the usage of the ", as well as when they aren't there (again, this is my only real form of criticism). I hope this makes sense-

As for everything else, I do still enjoy the setup, the backgrounds too they don't distract me or make the cast feel out of place. I also like their designs and masks feeling different which is always enjoyable to see! Everyone stood out in their own ways. I also like how there's a skip option in case you messed up- you can always just start over and get to the preferred part. I'd also like to say, like Grey. They seem cool and neat, and with that all being said- I'd be interested in playing more or hearing more updates for this or other projects in the future! <33
Of course, thank you for replying and giving more insight!!
I understand now about her being her own character and that's fine too! As for the errors, I can't record them so to the best of my ability at explaining:
Say it's a little after I have made a choice, right. This mostly happened right before the second day, but mostly on the third it kept pulling up the load screen- even if I didn't make a choice, it would be at random places (or times). I tried to exit the game and see if maybe I could just reopen, but when doing that the game sounded like I had opened it twice with the music being layered (originally, I thought that was a stylistic choice, but then realized it happened in good moments rather than eerie, and then pulled up the screen. So, with this context- this was the issue regarding some of the glitch? Though I should clarify, on day 1 I had the game opened during the night, then played the rest the following morning.)
However, the issues were mostly during the middle and end of day two (in game), then most of day three (like right before the day concluded). Day One had no issues with redirecting to the main screen, having the music sound off, or anything of that matter. Also, hmm, if it ended on a black screen then I don't think I had gotten there, as the game kept redirecting- though, if I am picking up on your context, I assume I was just about there- but not quite. Regardless, the issue more or less isn't that bad as I just took it as a possible sign to keep saving for the load screen and it was still enjoyable to play through! Also, apologies if this is a little confusing!
I love the game! Can't say I love many, but this one is great! I like the designs, characters, as well as the setup. It's interesting and I'd love to see more that causes the mc to question things, and ultimately the player too. Going for loops is great for this type of game, and I'd look forward for more.
However, two small gripes I have. While I muted the voices, only because hearing the mc talk threw me off (I had already turned down the settings b4 playing)- I wasn't expecting it to still be so loud). Another thing, someone also mentioned but having the mc speak is a bit conflicting if we're essentially them, and not like a Yui from DL situation where we play as an already defined character. As for two, I am not too sure if I had actually completed said demo- it cancels out every now and then and sends me to the loading screen. If not only this, but it would also throw me to the main screen without much of an implication.
All in all, I like where this is going, and the character we play as is realistic in a sense, as for the guy- appreciate he's calm even if it's a tad suspect.
anywaysss, thank you making this can't wait to see where this project goes <33
