Sweetest Valentine

Ichigo's Route All Endings:

I was not expecting this to take such a turn. I don't want to give too many spoilers so I won't say much. BUT MY GOSH, THIS WAS A HIDDEN GEM I ALMOST WALKED AWAY FROM!! 😆

Thank you!! Keep up the good work and stay safe!! 👍

I had a lot of fun playing this game, especially guessing character motives. I still haven't finished Yuzuki route, although I reached the Normal, True and 2nd Bad Endings through my gameplays.

At first I had small insignificant things to nit pick, but when the story picked up its place I had no complaints. Each character has so much depth and secret motivations, this is all really intriguing.

Hoping to play more games from you.

this game is really amazing, I really liked the story and the characters, the yuzuki road literally made me sad and ichigo is so cute! I did not expect some ends and frankly I loved all the twists in this game! I’m so sad to have finished it, oh and I’m sorry if there are mistakes I’m French ),:

I haven't finished this game but I love it so far! But is there a CG album? and if so how do I access it?

It's nearly 1 am now but since I have just finished the game, I cannot wait to leave a cmt for this wonderful game. 

First to say, Ichigo is really a sweetheart, I love him a lot and I was happy with the fact that he was not the typical yandere type, like oh she loves this man, let's go on and kill him, yay, or was crazily jealous. He was quite considerate in my opinion and the way he care about her made my heart melt. 

Secondly, Aimi's hobby was real a surprise for me, but yes, and yay, she can empathize wirh Ichigo, be together with him in happiness and harmony, which is what you can ever wish to have in a yandere type game, the mc is not overwhelmed by the yandere love interest's personality. 

And finally, Yuzuki's story. Even though I have played Ichigo route first, his revelation did come as a surprise lol, and his full story with Haruto was heart warming, sadly that did not end well. Therefore, I at least think that the ending when all 4 died was the best one in Yuzuki route. Anyway, why did Ichigo took so long to visit Aimi in prison? Did he just go and kill Haruto or smt :) ?

So in short, great game! What a healthy yandere meal for the soul before drifting to sleep. Love it ♡

i absolutely loved it! i started playing around 3:21 am and ended it (with all the endings) at 6 am AND UGHH, it was SOO good! i kinda of did a gameplay to my friend and they also loved it! THE TWIST IN MC'S CHARACTER IS SO !!!!"#"=$"# AND THE ARTSTYLE IS SO *CHEFF KISS*

anyways, I FULLY recomend the game!! i also recommend playing yuzuki's route first !"=#!"= STILL, i loved both ichigo and yuzuki in both's route!! i love the glichy things and then the revealing his backstory in yuzuki's route- IT WAS A EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER

SO GOOD, im totally looking foward more of your games!

also, justice for my boys yuzuki and hayato waah, i would die if i see more content of them /pos

I'm dead. Like. I legit am still reeling. I finished the game at like 10:42pm and it's now 11:19pm. I THOUGHT WHEN YOU SAID ABOUT THE WARNINGS I THOUGHT YOU MEANT THE TYPICAL YANDERE WARNINGS! BRO THIS DID SO MUCH DAMAGE TO ME. I AM HURT. THANK YOU. 

Where do I even begin. Boi where do I begin. I am shaking. How dare you break me, HOW DARE YOU BREAK ME SO WELL I CAN'T HELP BUT STARE AT THE CEILING?!??! Below will be spoilers because I just can't.

I'M KINDA GLAD I WENT FOR ICHIGO'S ROUTE FIRST BECAUSE THE ONLY WHIPLASH I GOT THERE WAS THE TRUE ENDING WHERE MC IS ALSO CRAZY AS FUCK. Sorry lemme uncaps lock I'm so sorry I'm literally screeching like a banshee, anyway, so I was really not expecting MC to also be like a... Yandere, no but someone trigger happy. I adored that ending and I absolutely love Ichigo, I'll kill for him anytime (fondly) and clean up the traces as best as I can (genuinely)! But...

MHMMMMMMMM

SO YUZUKI'S ROUTE??

BOI/GIRL/FRIEND-O PRESTO, sorry capslock, did you wake up and choose violence???? You said you were lazy in your behind the scenes post with Yuzuki's route but jesus christ it was so well-written! The scene where Haruto and Yuziku'sdeveloping relationship showed made me scream because the twist where it shows that MC killed Yuzuki is very much painful. Very very painful!!! Yuzuki did not deserve this, Yuzuki deserved to live happily with Horuto-- THEY WERE GONNA RUN AWAY TO TOKYO *ugly wailing* And-- And no matter what ending, those two were destined for a shitty ending because Haruto just had to stumble in on Ichigo and-- IT WAS NO USE I'M CRYING ON THE INSIDE AGAIN!!

I still love Ichigo, in fact I still love him even in Yuzuki's Good Ending where he literally stayed for MC and jesus christ this is a wonderful horrifying heart-wrenching visual novel I have read, until now I am broken, I am static, I want to pass through the universe's boundaries because holy shit Yuzuki's Route????? IT DESERVES ITS OWN WARNING. AN EMOTIONAL HEART SCARRING WARNING.

Anyway I'm dying wonderful game! Seriously, please don't mind the uh--.... emotional turmoil I'm in, currently in btw, but this is such a great visual novel. I'm looking forward and bracing my heart for the other game you're creating! Especially when it's within the same universe as Sweetest Valentine, I'm curious what the canonical ending is (please say it's the True Ending because DAMMIT IF THERE NEEDS TO BE ONE PERSON HAPPY AT LEAST LET IT BE MC AND ICHIGO ಥ_ಥ) (WE ALL KNOW HORUTO AND YUZUKI COULDN'T HAVE A HAPPY ENDING DAMMIT!!!)

THIS WAS SUCH A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OF A GAME!! I got all the endings and absolutely LOVED the true ending!! I never would have expected that and it was honestly the most perfect ending i could ask for, never thought id find it in a game tho!

I just loved this game! There are so many emotions at once. The story and how it all happens is interesting and captivating. I fell in love with Ichigo, I loved his ending with MC, so perfect, there's nothing to complain about. And the art style is so cute and adorable! Anyway, I could play several times that I would never get bored. <3

Great game! Spoliers:

YUZUKI AND HAYATO DIDNT DESERVE ANY OF THIS WAHHHH YOU BROKE MY HEART but like i said great game  and i really enjoyed it made me shocked mulptiple times and the art is cute :3

!HOPEFULLY MAJOR-SPOILER-FREE!

A fun way to pass a little time, I found the MC's character art charming, and the art style and the UI is really adorable; the music was fitting without being grating or too repetitious and the CGs in Ichigo's route, especially the True End CG, were stand-outs among the others. I would have liked a gallery for the CGs, but since the game is so short, seeing them again isn't a hassle at all. I could guess how things would go from the start, except for MC's little "hobby," but that didn't stop most of the game from being enjoyable; there aren't a lot of games that flip the script like this, and it was done well, producing a real Sympathy for the Devil-type situation. I wound up fond of Ichigo and the MC, and was genuinely pleased by the True End.

I will say that I thought the last half of Yuzuki's route, covering his backstory, was the weakest part of the game: Since it was basically an info-dump, it turned into a kinetic novel and didn't leave much of an impression on me. This may have been because I guessed how things were going to go, so the Reveals didn't feel as important or pivotal as intended. This might be why I was a little disappointed by MC's final action in Bad End 4, but maybe things would have been different if she took Ichigo's calls! I also felt Ichigo's characterization was a little uneven since the True End route has MC talk about how Ichigo was conflicted, yet earlier he was super confident and gloating when talking to Haruto, though this wasn't enough to bother me much.

All in all, I enjoyed my playthroughs and am interested in seeing your future work!

This is my first actual review of a game so stay with me here, it's gonna be all over the place. I didn't go in with major expectations primarily because neither of the LI were particularly my type appearance wise, but man oh man... this was definitely an experience. I was genuinely shocked by the reveal, but then again, I went in with zero expectations and completely blind to what the storyline was! I really enjoyed the twist and even the "mob" characters like Haruto managed to worm their way into my heart, I loved his background story! I also loved the MC, she felt more like a character than ME per se (then again, I'm a man, I cannot project super well into cute girls, lmao!), but I can vibe with that in stories like this one, where the MC is basically her own character and not exactly the PLAYER you know! Sidenote... Ichigo's adult CGs... he very quickly became my type appearance wise. I'm very okay with this progression. Overall great game!! Five stars, 10/10, great experience! I got all endings within about an hour for anyone curious about playtime!

I love this game! The story is so good i never expected this kind of plot, every choice leads to something interesting so you never get bored. The artstyle is also rly cute and the OSTs makes the experience 10x better ! It totally deserve a 10/10, i just had wished to see more of MCs background but the lenght of the game was actually perfect , not too short nor too long.

I love all characters, you really did an amazing work with their personality ! i finish it in one go and its now 3am haha but it was worth it.

Thanks for creating and sharing this gem !

I absolutely loved this game!! It was so fun to find all the endings! I love Ichigo so much!<333 All of the characters were done amazing, the drawings are sp pretty, the twists in the story were great! overall totally worth staying up till 3 am playing this. 10/10 game! <3

I really enjoyed this game. It's very well written, the story is dark and is full of twists and turns that will constantly keep you at the edge of your seat and wondering what will happen next. The characters are very well written and you grow to care about each of them(which can be difficult to execute, but the creator absolutely nailed it). The art is beautiful. The music is amazing. This game is able to move you from a happy state of mind to a haunted one at ease. I would definitely recommend checking it out. Thank you to the creator for sharing 😊

MC's crazy, Ichigo's crazy, and Yuzuki and Haruto are kind of sane (but only have a happy ending in two (2) ends.) 10/10 would absolutely play again! I'm always happy to find games like this, especially when they're as entertaining as this one :D

made an account just to post this comment lol (spoilers for the game in here, go play it urself!)

i love this game and ichigooo!! the story is great, the art is great, THE CHARACTERSS!!! the true ending i did not expect at all! super interesting

i had to play through all the endings and yuzukis put me through the feels, tysm for making this!!! 11/10 def

also the detective conan reference lolol

id love to play anything u make in the future if u plan on making more! 

also screw mc >:(

Me being like, "I knew it" and then later being like, "HOLY- IT JUST GOT DARK SO FAST WHAT-" then being like, "awe cute", "so cruel!" I loved it tho, hands down, great writing Thank you ^^ Definitely a recommendation to play if youre into these type of things of murder, love and other stuff in the game hehe ^^ 

This visual novel was great! I can definitely see the CHARON inspiration. Here's the first part of my playthrough for anyone interested (Ichigo just has some strawberry jam on his face in the thumbnail, don't worry about it):

The UI design is competent, the artstyle looks good, and while I had a few issues with the grammar (but only because I'm annoyingly pedantic) the writing hit the right parts for me. Though the themes might not be for everyone, I'm very biased in that I love these types of stories.

My only gripes would be that I felt one of the endings was too "nice" for the protagonist and the way Yuzuki's backstory was told didn't feel like it fit with the rest of the pacing in the game, but these are just my opinions.

Otherwise, Sweetest Valentine was an enjoyable experience and I wish the developer all the best for their potential next project!

this is a very well written game! by the end, i had no questions in my mind whatsoever. 

SPOILERS BELOW!!!!

-------

protag is messed up, true love interest is messed up, protag's crush is mlm, it's a really well written game!! i enjoyed it. i usually don't enjoy visual novels too, so this is saying something imo :D

I thoroughly enjoyed this game! Thank you for allowing us to play it!

The story was a bit shocking but omg it was so amazing. I'm just in love with this game. Trying all the options and finally understanding everything was so exciting. I really recommend this to everyone. One of the best things I ever played. Thanks for the creator for doing such an amazing job. I really hope to see other works from him.

First of all, the game was amazing, the plot twist was also shocking... the art was great, it was greater than I expect, the story line was also surprising, catchy, and will leave you shock for a moment. The ending was really great, I just was shock at first since I stab "Ichigo", I really didn't mean than, anyways the endings were great that it left an impression to me, I'll recommend this to my friends, and that true end was a little unexpected... we really should not judge a book by its cover... I hope many will find this game great and also support the author... this game will left an impression to you that you never had feel ^^

-Liane

this is so well-written!

The plot twists are shocking, but at the same time I feel that the story rewards readers who are familiar with the genre: even if they are able to predict what is coming using foreshadowing & other contextual clues, it doesn't take away the enjoyment of reading through what follows and seeing that prior guesses are matching the plot 👍

absolutely loved this game!! i played ichigo's route first and I LOVE ICHIGO SM and this game is very interesting 

!SPOILER!

aw what a cute queer love story i sure hope the main character doesn't kill one of them because he rejected her on valentines day and then have hallucinations of him and her being lovers ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡

On  a serious note this game surprised me so much. From Aimi killing Yuzuki in Yuzuki route to Aimi and Ichigo becoming partners in crime. I went through so many emotions too,, like the Yuzuki and Haruto relationship was so sweet and I felt so bad that Aimi killed Yuzuki in Yuzu's route. 

10/10 this game was honestly amazing I wish I could play it for the first time again.

[ Spoiler ]

At first, I thought it was horrible because I took the Yuzuki route first... But after I did Ichigo's route, I fell in love with him!

Ichigo Best Boyy <3

SPOILERS:

Wow. I kinda skimmed the content warnings and missed reading that it's a yandere game. I started playing this fully assuming it's a normal otome game and chose Ichigo's route first and boy was I shocked at the twists the story took. The story is soo good, altho you pretty much figure out Yuzuki's story after playing Ichigo's. The art is beautiful though and I really loved the CGs. I ended up loving Haruto and Yuzuki together and I really wanted an ending where they both end up together, so despite it's name, I ended up liking Bad Ending 1 of Ichigo's route most, not gameplay wise but just story wise. 

The psychological horror part really got to me, the drastic change in the way the MC's behaviour towards Ichigo changes in the 2 routes. It really shows that her love was always temporary and shallow and she was just clinging to whoever showed her the most affection. That being said, her character is so well written and kind of relatable(?). I don't usually like yandere games but this one definitely is an exception. Looking forward to more games from this developer!

AAA THIS GAME IS SO GOOD!! I DID YUZUKI'S ROUTE FIRST But I ended up liking Ichigo more hehehe~! [ Ichigo Best Boy ] I REALLY LOVE THE STORY!! AND IS THERE A WAY I CAN SEE THOSE CG'S IN FULL YOU'RE ART IS SO BEAUTIFULL AAAAAA(´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡

I would rather call this game"a murderer,a yandere monster and 2 gay"...

Oh man, this was really good, I really loved the twists!

SPOILERS:

I really liked MC and her personality because she was very distinct and different? I felt bad for Yuzuki because I liked him a fair bit but he already had Haruto T-T I wanted MC to have an ending with Yuzuki but seeing his backstory and his relationship with Haruto, it would have been impossible. I would just imagine an AU where they are together and MC isn't as screwed up. I love how Haruto says he's 'average' but he did a lot of smart things and fought hard to stay alive. I like how playing all the endings gave a more thorough understanding of everything including how the dead bird gift was Ichigo's idea. And it seems MC's love is pretty shallow and she grips on any kindness she can, she said that she would love Ichigo immediately since he would kill for her and lost her crush for Yuzuki immediately. Made me think she was just in love with his kindness so she's sweet on anyone who makes her the top priority? I felt that she lacks warmth and affection and she needs that the most. I really enjoyed the ending where they were together (BE: Death Sentence) but the ending was bittersweet because the karma caught up to him. I really thought Ichigo knew MC was a killer in her own right, or I thought MC was the murderer but turns out it was Ichigo!

The true ending made a lot of sense and I guess it's the happiest ending for most people except Haruto is still dead. I really feel bad for Haruto and I am surprised how much he grew on him. He's endearing in a bland way??? But he's not that bland and can be actually pretty good looking haha. I kinda wish there was an ending where all of them were alive but Ichigo and MC being who they are would have made that extremely difficult.

SPOILERS IF U HAVENT PLAYED!!! dude,,, this was phenomonal. i expected it to be like a normal yandere dating sim but its just??? even better?? like the plot twists and the mc doing that to yuzuki.. i did not expect that. at first i thought he was being a bitch by cutting off her hand and throwing her out a window but after i learned what she did... wow. and i didnt eve expect him to be gay??? it was just wow. and the plot twist where the mc was a bad person?? AMAZING!! also i genuinely did not expect ichigos parents to end up like that. im sorry fo rambling but i had to make an itch account for this, this was stunning

the plot twists!!! this was such a nice game altho i did get a bit spooked playing this late at night lol. thank you for your hard work :D
