This taught me to read the game description carefully LMAO I just download multiple romance VNs in rush and this "cute" game just fools me but it comes out greater than I expected it to be anyway So I really loving this
pleaoh my geez i LKNEW IT I LITERALLY KNEW IT WOULD BE LIKE THAT IN THE TRUE ENDING HAHAHA i'm just IMAGINING an au with the actual player in the game where they were just sitting through this shit, jaw dropping, and considering calling the police 💀 geez, this game is AMAZING!! IT'S SO NICE AND THE PLOT TWISTS ARE MWA MWA KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE!
is it weird that i thought ichigo and yuzuki liked each other because they were blushin and shit during my first playthrough LOL
i love this so much, the art is so pretty, the characters are well thought out, the plot twists are brain bonkers /pos and everything is so MWAAA CHEFS KISS!!!!! please tell me there's fics on ao3 or wattpad or wherever about this literally screaming my brains out
please continue being such an amazing person <333 have a great and cool and FANTASTIC day !! <3 because your game just made me the happiest person alive ! :3 THANK YOU <33333
Aww thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad that the game is able to make you happy! <3
Honestly, you're not weird for thinking that Ichigo and Yuzuki might like each other because a handful of other people thought so too. I also planned Yuzuki to have a crush on Ichigo at first (but decided against it in the end lol)
The only fic that I know of is... my own fic LMAOO. PLEASE THOUGH I second this, if anyone has made one and sees this comment, please show off your fics here (or however else you'd prefer if you feel shy about it). I want to read fanfics, I love reading them.
Once again, thank you for the comment and I hope you have a great day too! Your comment have made my day ngl :D
man i thought the art was cute and decided to give it a try and holy heck this surprised me, i knew this was like "yandere game" but the plot twists caught me off guard, i love your storytelling and all the subplots
*spoilers*
it's also cool how each route has some things that are implied but you don't discover there, like it is implied but you don't know yuzuki and haruto are lovers in ichigo's route, but there are hints, and you don't know ichigo's a murderer in yuzuki route, and the implications are weaker here, like he acts like a typical jealous yandere, but there still some suspicious things
also ichigo my beloved~ i loved his sprites, his expressions, like how cute he looks but he also can be sassy and serious, in the start of the game in my first playtrough i went into his route because at first i supected more of yuzuki, i thought his act of perfect student was a facade, and also i read in the resume he seemed to not like aimi so i thought it was better to just hang out with her friend that she already get along well
at the scene of the bird i suspected of ichigo too because of the first shadowy sprite but seeing how he cares about aimi and how cute they are together warmed up my heart and must say even with the hints that there were something wrong with him i didn't expected him to be the murderer
and aimi to be into it, that really surprised me, i loved her design and color scheme, also her personality like , she can be sarcastic and blunt but also atentious and nice,even in the lovey dovey mode she aways felt like her own character instead of the players husk and i love games like that, every time she tought ichigo's cute i wholehearted agreed with her
it makes me wonder how it would be if ichigo never killed his parents(maybe would be more retracted because of the bad situation and lack of murder to harden his personality) but she was still messed up, like she mentioned how him wanting her to be with him all the time was cute, being how she is i think she would enjoy the dependance, since he would prioritize her above everyone else
and haruto and yuzuki....man poor haruto and yuzuki deserve better, they're really doomed by the narrative, i really was rotting for them to be together, my man haruto is also really cool and then after the flashback i remembered "oh yeah yuzuki's dead...and in ichigo's route haruto is dismembered...", they were happy and seeing your notes about their potential future together makes it hurts even more ;_;
and the universe were they're the yanderes....karma really is a bitch, man they're terrifying, aimi and ichigo 'normal' interactions are really fun , they're cool characters so i can see we feeling bad for them in this situation,actually i can see all the sane version looking at their yandere counterparts like "just what the hell is wrong with you?"
at the begining of yuzuki route i picked his bad end and thought he was just a cold sadist, then i thought he suspected aimi was the murderer, but his death and backstory were a punch in the gut, it's kinda painfull to see the begining of the game again because you see the group getting along and playing together, and they could be good friends but the situation it's just...
sorry for the long coment, i really loved this game and couldn't help but gush about it, i think i actually may have brainrot
which brings this QUESTION: i saw that in your first version of yuzuki route he woudn't die and was in love with ichigo, would you mind sharing more or less how this route was 🙏?
because i'm a sucker for aus and this one looks wild, like he is in love with a murderer that's in love with a girl(that's also a psycho) with a crush on him, how would they meet? i'm curious about how their relationship would be, or why yuzuki would fell in the first place? like i can imagine them bonding because they're both popular but both put a facade, in the start you can see their interactions and poke funs, also ichigo can be really caring so i think he would apreciate that
the angst potential is also fantastic, aimi discovering yuzuki fell for her childhood friend, or yuzuki discovering ichigo muders would be wild and i can't even imagine how ichigo would react to the whole situation
(also i want to write fics,but don't quite know how this universe would be, soo some references would reall help ^^ 🙏)
Please don't be sorry about long comment, because I absolutely LOVE reading them LMAOO. First of all, thank you for playing the game! I'm really happy that you enjoyed it! And the fact that you've read all my dev logs/notes? I really appreciate it!
And oh my god the very first version of Yuzuki's route? Okay, I hope you don't mind receiving a long comment from me either haha.
*Spoilers below* So I'd imagine that Haruto just straight up doesn't exist in this AU. Yuzuki and Ichigo know each other since high school, but they only know each other's existence until Aimi starts to talk to Yuzuki. Afterwards, Aimi fell for his kindness and Ichigo being Ichigo, he would decide to investigate (...and by that I mean stalk) Yuzuki just to see if Yuzuki reciprocates or not.
If we're on the canon AU, this is where Ichigo would see him hanging out with Haruto and feel relieved to find out that they're lovers. However, since Haruto doesn't exist, Yuzuki is just all alone. Ichigo couldn't find out what the guy is thinking or if he has any crushes by just stalking him, so then Ichigo would start talking to him and trying to get close to him to gain information (and maybe try to hook him up with some other person that fits Yuzuki's type).
You mentioned it, and yes, those two have kind of a lot of stuff in common. How they're both only putting up a facade and all. Even though their friendship started as a way for Ichigo to get information, in this story, Ichigo and Yuzuki genuinely became pretty close friends. Ichigo started seeing Yuzuki in a better light, while Yuzuki started developing a crush on Ichigo (which is something Ichigo never expected lol).
And that's for the backstory, as for how the route would went, the story would start the same way (minus all the dead bird thing) until the route selection. In Yuzuki's route, Yuzuki would reject Aimi's confession, saying that he has a crush on someone else. Aimi wouldn't kill him out of rage, she only did so in the canon route because he's going to leave town. Since she'll still be able to see Yuzuki, she reluctantly accepts this fact, but then she'd also plan to find out who his crush is and try to ruin everything for them. Yuzuki would ask Aimi for a friendly date regardless and Aimi accepts.
During the valentine's day, they would hang out together (with Aimi occasionally trying to get Yuzuki to spill the beans) until the evening, where Yuzuki says that he has an important business to do and just leaves. Aimi follows him, and this is where we find out that his crush is Ichigo because he dips the MC to go confess to Ichigo (yes this pisses the hell out of Aimi as she feels betrayed and shocks Ichigo to his core LMAO). Ichigo rejected Yuzuki of course, but Aimi left before she could hear him reject Yuzuki because don't we all love miscommunications.
Aimi's anger then turned for the worse. The day after valentine's day, she storms into Ichigo's house and ended up killing him out of rage, right in his parent's room too, because lol the irony. I haven't really thought of how it would go afterwards, honestly. Feel free to come up with your own endings (or if you want to write your own spin to this route, that's absolutely fine too! I'd love to see how you write your take in this situation) if you decide to write the fic (and please send it to me too I want to read it, I'm curious LOL)
Once again, thank you for playing and thank you for the comment! I hope you don't mind reading all that LMAOO
I played it with my girlfriend and we had tons of fun reading everything and coming up with theories given new information. We really enjoyed how some endings gave hints to plot lines revealed in other endings. We also got the "life sentence" ending first, so the whole "arrested for murder" part caught us completely off guard.
There were a few grammar mistakes, but nothing incredibly major. Considering this project is several years old, it really isn't that big of a deal.
I do wonder, is Haruto alive in the second chance ending? (the one where the MC is sent to Juvie)
Because presumably Ichigo would still kill him to due him witnessing one of the murders.
So as far as what's explicitly stated, I think Haruto is only alive in the ending where the MC kills Ichigo? Although since Ichigo kills himself one of the endings where the MC kills herself, it would be reasonable to assume he kills himself in the other MC suicide endings as well (Hand and Guilt). Thus, Haruto would be alive in those endings. Can I get any sort of writer's confrmation? haha
We both really loved the game! I've already downloaded your other game and I look forward to playing that soon.
Thank you for playing! Really glad that you and your girlfriend enjoyed It despite some grammar mistakes! Grammar is my worst enemy, I'm trying my best to fix it in my next project lol
In the second chance ending, Haruto is alive because Ichigo is so distraught with Aimi's murder and all, so Haruto escaped to Tokyo in time (I kind of recently created some sort of what-if story for Haruto, that he became a detective after this ending and is hell bent on trying to catch Ichigo in the future)
I honestly forgot that I only said that Haruto would be alive only in the ending where the MC kills Ichigo (because if I said that then don't mind my past self, it's been a while and I sort of don't remember stuff LMAOO, I'm sorry for any inconsistencies). It's definitely the only ending where Haruto and Yuzuki is alive though, yes. And you're definitely right in thinking that Haruto would be alive in the MC suicide endings as well.
But thank you for the questions and all! I hope you'll enjoy For Amerta as well whenever you decide to play it! :D
When we started the game, we enjoyed that Ichigo's name seemed to match with the color of the fruit. So we restarted our playthrough and named our main character "Ume" after plum. We also laughed after Googling "Yuzuki" and finding out he was also named after a fruit. I also wonder, does the MC's default name, Aimi, have any significance? What about Haruto's name?
My girlfriend says that she would be willing to make an exhaustive list of the grammar issues if you are interested. She enjoys editing as well as proofreading, and we both enjoyed your VN so much we want to help polish it!
Oooh, Ume for plum is a really adorable name for MC! For Aimi, the particular kanji I chose for her name is 愛美 and I believe that means "beautiful love" since she's so obsessed with the idea of romance and all. As for Haruto, I honestly chose his name because Haruto is an extremely common name in Japan LMAO. The kanji I chose for his name is 遥都, which I believe means "distant city", just to reference his goal of escaping to a far away city and away from Ichigo.
Oh whoa! Thank you so much for the offer! Honestly, the help would be very appreciated. I'd like to tell you in advance that I currently don't have any budget put aside for game development purposes. If your girlfriend doesn't mind about that, then I'd be happy to take the offer!
She says that she's willing do it for free. Unfortunately when she launches the game on her mac, the game crashes when she tries to open the options menu.
"Start" and "Load" seem to work fine though and it seems like she's able to play the game just fine otherwise.
Also she asks if you have a writeup of the entire game's script to make it easier for her to look through.
Thank you for the help! Once again, I really do appreciate it!
Oh that error is news to me, I'll see if I can do something about the issue when I get to my computer later.
My writeup for the entire script is in the code. Could I ask for your/your girlfriend's email address so I can send it there? (or contact me via my email: hope.asasin@gmail.com)
This game is so good wth. I think my favorite is Ichigo (he's so cute even tho he a lil yandere) Also I did not expect that twist from the MC lmao. Really caught me off guard and with Yuzuki too? Damn it's a whole different experience other than some other otome games I've ever played. This inspired me to make a visual novel I've been planning to make for a long time but never had the chance to cuz of college. Keep up the good work! (Do you have any tips when just starting out to make a game using renpy and coding stuff? Would love to hear your thoughts about it!)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and it even inspired you to create more visual novels! I saw that you already created one and so I played it, I'll leave a comment on your page soon about it, but overall, you already did a great job with using renpy! Your UI design and the art looks great!
I'm probably not the best person to ask about renpy since I only did the barebone of designing and scripting/coding, I honestly still have much to learn. But a tip from me would be to create backups of your project often, just so you wouldn't lose a lot of your progress if something bad were to happen (I usually create mine in google drive. I just copy and pasted the file there ). Another tip that I have is to visit lemmasoft forums for renpy questions, the renpy discord server, and watch youtube tutorials (for YT, Zeil Learnings' channel really helped me a ton and I will never get tired of recommending that channel to people who's trying to get started with renpy). Make sure to leave notes in the code too so when you can understand what you just did (the lines that start with #).
Hopefully these tips could help somehow! Excited to see more from you as well! :D
Ah I see! Thanks for the tips it was helpful. Also I'm shocked that you played my game (I rushed making it but I'm glad that you played it lol). I never thought about making backups haha maybe I'll do that. I wanted to make a longer game in the future.
I'm glad that you find it helpful! Feel free to ask me more questions if you have any and I'll try my best to help you out to the best of my capabilities. I'll be wishing you luck for your future projects!
Hi， I am a Chinese player and I like this game very much. So I translate it into a Chinese version, it can be changed in the settings. If you want to add it in this page, I can give you the source files. I have sent an e-mail to you(769018860@qq.com), but I don't know whether you have got it or not.
OH I DID!! Here hang on--lemme grab my Tumblr! I posted the fanart there :D https://www.tumblr.com/foxes81ofanime also how dare you make me spend money cosplaying too/lhj I'm OBSESSED. Actually--me and my friend Christy are both doing cosplays together >:D Ichigo and Aimi literally she kins Aimi and I kin Ichigo-it's our dynamic and I'm drawing my OC rn actually--her name is Yuki Miyamoto~ I chose Yuki-chan as the MC name and that's her!
yeah--the fanart wasn't that much TvT [just some redrawings of the sprites in my style--I have more in my sketchbook that I haven't had time to do] also I'm SO jealous that you know how to code a game >:( I really wanna make one but give me some code and I'm like "??? Can I eat it?" ;-; Sorry for my ramblings...I get reeeeaaallly excited if someone knows about my hyperfixation and I'll just ramble on and on and ON gosh... I stopped breathing the first time you responded bcz I was like "is this the real Slyph? Am I being pranked?" lmao
Don't sell yourself short, I think the redraw is pretty! I love seeing people's own styles or interpretations on the characters that I've made. That and your art style is adorable and I enjoy seeing them! (I checked out your tumblr earlier, the sleeping Ichigo is just way too cute!! 😭)
Learning how to make a game can be frustrating at times, especially for people who don't normally code (like me lol). I mostly only copy paste codes, but even that can be confusing too sometimes. You can try renpy if you're looking to making your own visual novel. It can be confusing when you first use it, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to make a simple VN in no time.
And please don't feel bad for rambling! I love reading/listening to people's ramblings LMAO I'm just happy that you're enjoying yourself!
created an account just to comment. in love but mostly in agony. i really like haruto and yuzuki's relationship. i wish for everything good to happen to them in another life and wish for BOTH of them to live. theyre so kdskjdmgmckdjg<3
(minor spoilers below)⚠
-----------------------
the true ending was a twist, but not an unwelcomed one. ive been craving for some yan x yan stuff, so i liked it. still tasted bittersweet because of haruto, but its ok... haha,..
yknow i was feeling very sad and emotional and stuff but you PULLED OUT THE DETECTIVE CONAN REFERENCE AND I LAUGHED FOR A SOLID MINUTE BECAUSE I DID NOT EXPECT THE ONE MANGA I READ TO BE MENTIONED
read detective conan and chill with haruto end when (the true good ending)😭
I didn't expect any of the endings. Watching a VN and playing the VN is truly a very diffirent experience, all I can say is that true ending is my favourite.
hi!! happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve been obsessed w this game for so long like since October😭 ichigo is definitely my fav character but they’re all so well written! The art is so good too omg also I made an edit of ichigo it would make me really happy if you watched it your choice though! Definitely one of my favourite games I also loved the concept of the other one you made I don’t remember the name but I wanted the two guys to get together so bad lmao anyway here the link to the edit I made https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYh8By9p/
Hey! Happy late valentine's day to you too! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy and omg that edit is super cute!!! You just made me log back into my old, dusty tiktok account just to watch it and it's worth all the effort LMAOO
Thank you so much for playing and for the edit! <3
Played this immediately after "For Amerta" and I seriously loved it so much!!! I was expecting something much tamer, and boy... was I wrong.
I will say. I thought Ichigo was a girl at first. And I kept thinking that until it was first revealed that he was a guy. If I had a nickel every time this happened, I'd have two, which isn't a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice (the first was Karma from Cinderella Phenonem... why is it always the redheads?)
(Spoilers portion below)
The tragedy of Yuzuru's and Haruko's relationship broke my heart though. The fact that they don't get their happy ending in the game makes me so sad ;_; (I did read the extra content, which at least healed my heart a little bit). Still, I ended up shipping them hardcore. I really love how you developed their relationship
I was not expecting the MC to be just as messed up as Ichigo. When I found out, I thought they were meant to be. They deserve each other lmao.
Thank you for the amazing game <3 fr going to be an avid fan from now on
LMAOO nahh don't worry, you're not stupid for thinking that it's a normal happy game, others thought the same as you do. Still, I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the ride!
Awesome graphic, music and a even more detailed story-line for all the characters. I really enjoyed this game i hope you make more games that are yandere ish themed <3
i got all the endings ! and wow, this is literally one of the best vn i have ever played,, i love this sm and i look forward to more !!! i sure hope this blows up
I love this game with all my heart. First of all excuse me because I will use this comment just to ramble. I went with ichigo's route first because I was interested in his sweet persona, mind you I didn't read the trigger warning or the comments and just went straight to playing, so I thought this was just a sweet game. Spoiler alert, I immediately got hooked and played through all endings in one sitting. I didn't expect the MC to be sick in the head and I personally love her so much, even though what she did was totally wrong. I also wholeheartedly love ichigo, he still stayed with the MC through all routes and I love him for it. I think going through his route and knowing what MC's true personality is like actually made the whole playthrough so much more immersive. And going through the sweet moments with Yuzuki while knowing what those psychopaths are like, I really really enjoy it. I just think Yuzuki and Haruto deserves so much better, I wish they reunited somewhere, but considering there was that one bad ending where literally everyone died, hopefully they wont meet MC and ichigo again lmao. All in all, I love all twists and endings, will there be dlcs or extra contents about them in the future? And I'll be looking forward to your future works, thank you for making this sweet(?) game!
Aww thank you so much for the comment and for playing! I love reading the ramblings lol. So far, the only extra contents are in the form of dev logs. While I do have plans for some sort of prequel and sequel, I'm still unsure if I'll go through with it, because I'm indecisive LMAO
But once again thank you sm! Your comment was really fun to read through! :D
Just finished playing them and it was quite outside of box situation visual novel 👁️👁️ just kinda sad that a certain character didn't get their deserve ending😭I do hope there would be a spin-off where all of them have some maybe alternate version? But overall,it is so 👍
Thank you for playing! There's not really any spin-off for now, well, there's a bit of an extra content and also an alternate universe thing if you haven't seen them already, but other than that, there's not much else yet haha
The twists twisted and the brains have exploded. I love this game so much to the point that I'm just restraining myself to give out spoilers. WORTH IT TO TRY! This is an absolute puzzle of a game.
the art style is just so good! and the history too, i got the true ending on my second try by accident but i loved it
also blew up my mind when i returned to the other route after getting the real ending bc i just connected some things TT, the game made me so exited it was and experience TT i truly loved it
THE NILE IS A RIVER IN EGYPT, YOUR CRUSH IS GAY
thats all i can say when im playing yuzuki’s route, i highkey wanted him and haruto be happy but oh well 😭
anw aimi and ichigo r so sane and normal, love that for us <3
I really love this game btw! the twist and the plot is sooo good!! loving that detective conan reference sm

Since she'll still be able to see Yuzuki, she reluctantly accepts this fact, but then she'd also plan to find out who his crush is and try to ruin everything for them. Yuzuki would ask Aimi for a friendly date regardless and Aimi accepts.
During the valentine's day, they would hang out together (with Aimi occasionally trying to get Yuzuki to spill the beans) until the evening, where Yuzuki says that he has an important business to do and just leaves. Aimi follows him, and this is where we find out that his crush is Ichigo because he dips the MC to go confess to Ichigo (yes this pisses the hell out of Aimi as she feels betrayed and shocks Ichigo to his core LMAO). Ichigo rejected Yuzuki of course, but Aimi left before she could hear him reject Yuzuki because don't we all love miscommunications.
Aimi's anger then turned for the worse. The day after valentine's day, she storms into Ichigo's house and ended up killing him out of rage, right in his parent's room too, because lol the irony. I haven't really thought of how it would go afterwards, honestly. Feel free to come up with your own endings (or if you want to write your own spin to this route, that's absolutely fine too! I'd love to see how you write your take in this situation) if you decide to write the fic (and please send it to me too I want to read it, I'm curious LOL)
Once again, thank you for playing and thank you for the comment! I hope you don't mind reading all that LMAOO
I just finished all endings!
I played it with my girlfriend and we had tons of fun reading everything and coming up with theories given new information. We really enjoyed how some endings gave hints to plot lines revealed in other endings. We also got the "life sentence" ending first, so the whole "arrested for murder" part caught us completely off guard.
There were a few grammar mistakes, but nothing incredibly major. Considering this project is several years old, it really isn't that big of a deal.
I do wonder, is Haruto alive in the second chance ending? (the one where the MC is sent to Juvie)
Because presumably Ichigo would still kill him to due him witnessing one of the murders.
So as far as what's explicitly stated, I think Haruto is only alive in the ending where the MC kills Ichigo? Although since Ichigo kills himself one of the endings where the MC kills herself, it would be reasonable to assume he kills himself in the other MC suicide endings as well (Hand and Guilt). Thus, Haruto would be alive in those endings. Can I get any sort of writer's confrmation? haha
We both really loved the game! I've already downloaded your other game and I look forward to playing that soon.
Thank you for playing! Really glad that you and your girlfriend enjoyed It despite some grammar mistakes! Grammar is my worst enemy, I'm trying my best to fix it in my next project lol
In the second chance ending, Haruto is alive because Ichigo is so distraught with Aimi's murder and all, so Haruto escaped to Tokyo in time (I kind of recently created some sort of what-if story for Haruto, that he became a detective after this ending and is hell bent on trying to catch Ichigo in the future)
I honestly forgot that I only said that Haruto would be alive only in the ending where the MC kills Ichigo (because if I said that then don't mind my past self, it's been a while and I sort of don't remember stuff LMAOO, I'm sorry for any inconsistencies). It's definitely the only ending where Haruto and Yuzuki is alive though, yes. And you're definitely right in thinking that Haruto would be alive in the MC suicide endings as well.
But thank you for the questions and all! I hope you'll enjoy For Amerta as well whenever you decide to play it! :D
When we started the game, we enjoyed that Ichigo's name seemed to match with the color of the fruit. So we restarted our playthrough and named our main character "Ume" after plum. We also laughed after Googling "Yuzuki" and finding out he was also named after a fruit. I also wonder, does the MC's default name, Aimi, have any significance? What about Haruto's name?
My girlfriend says that she would be willing to make an exhaustive list of the grammar issues if you are interested. She enjoys editing as well as proofreading, and we both enjoyed your VN so much we want to help polish it!
Oooh, Ume for plum is a really adorable name for MC! For Aimi, the particular kanji I chose for her name is 愛美 and I believe that means "beautiful love" since she's so obsessed with the idea of romance and all. As for Haruto, I honestly chose his name because Haruto is an extremely common name in Japan LMAO. The kanji I chose for his name is 遥都, which I believe means "distant city", just to reference his goal of escaping to a far away city and away from Ichigo.
Oh whoa! Thank you so much for the offer! Honestly, the help would be very appreciated. I'd like to tell you in advance that I currently don't have any budget put aside for game development purposes. If your girlfriend doesn't mind about that, then I'd be happy to take the offer!
I see, that's really interesting.
She says that she's willing do it for free. Unfortunately when she launches the game on her mac, the game crashes when she tries to open the options menu.
"Start" and "Load" seem to work fine though and it seems like she's able to play the game just fine otherwise.
Also she asks if you have a writeup of the entire game's script to make it easier for her to look through.
Thank you for the help! Once again, I really do appreciate it!
Oh that error is news to me, I'll see if I can do something about the issue when I get to my computer later.
My writeup for the entire script is in the code. Could I ask for your/your girlfriend's email address so I can send it there? (or contact me via my email: hope.asasin@gmail.com)
This game is so good wth. I think my favorite is Ichigo (he's so cute even tho he a lil yandere) Also I did not expect that twist from the MC lmao. Really caught me off guard and with Yuzuki too? Damn it's a whole different experience other than some other otome games I've ever played. This inspired me to make a visual novel I've been planning to make for a long time but never had the chance to cuz of college. Keep up the good work! (Do you have any tips when just starting out to make a game using renpy and coding stuff? Would love to hear your thoughts about it!)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and it even inspired you to create more visual novels! I saw that you already created one and so I played it, I'll leave a comment on your page soon about it, but overall, you already did a great job with using renpy! Your UI design and the art looks great!
I'm probably not the best person to ask about renpy since I only did the barebone of designing and scripting/coding, I honestly still have much to learn. But a tip from me would be to create backups of your project often, just so you wouldn't lose a lot of your progress if something bad were to happen (I usually create mine in google drive. I just copy and pasted the file there ). Another tip that I have is to visit lemmasoft forums for renpy questions, the renpy discord server, and watch youtube tutorials (for YT, Zeil Learnings' channel really helped me a ton and I will never get tired of recommending that channel to people who's trying to get started with renpy). Make sure to leave notes in the code too so when you can understand what you just did (the lines that start with #).
Hopefully these tips could help somehow! Excited to see more from you as well! :D
Ah I see! Thanks for the tips it was helpful. Also I'm shocked that you played my game (I rushed making it but I'm glad that you played it lol). I never thought about making backups haha maybe I'll do that. I wanted to make a longer game in the future.
Once again I appreciate your reply!
I'm glad that you find it helpful! Feel free to ask me more questions if you have any and I'll try my best to help you out to the best of my capabilities. I'll be wishing you luck for your future projects!
The twists certainly surprised me! like jaw dropped on the floor type of surprise xp
Ichigo my baby<3
I CANT STOP REPLAYING THE TRUE ENDINGGGG THIS IS SO CUTE
I LOVE ICHIGOOO
I'm so inlove with the game ESPECIALLY ICHIGO T_T, damn, I love the MC too T_T
Hi， I am a Chinese player and I like this game very much. So I translate it into a Chinese version, it can be changed in the settings. If you want to add it in this page, I can give you the source files. I have sent an e-mail to you(769018860@qq.com), but I don't know whether you have got it or not.
Oh thank you for informing me! I did get your email, I'll check it out and get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you once again!
Created an account just to comment on this--this is GREAT omggggg
Currently making fanart and writing fanfiction rn LMAO-I'm OBSESSED now with Ichigo... TvT
Thank you for playing! And if you don't mind, please share them with me if you end up making them HAHA I would absolutely love to look at it
OH I DID!! Here hang on--lemme grab my Tumblr! I posted the fanart there :D
https://www.tumblr.com/foxes81ofanime
also how dare you make me spend money cosplaying too/lhjI'm OBSESSED. Actually--me and my friend Christy are both doing cosplays together >:D Ichigo and Aimi
literally she kins Aimi and I kin Ichigo-it's our dynamic
and I'm drawing my OC rn actually--her name is Yuki Miyamoto~
I chose Yuki-chan as the MC name and that's her!
OHH that's so cutee! Your art is super cute too! I'm really glad that you and your friend are having fun and enjoying yourselves :DD
yeah--the fanart wasn't that much TvT [just some redrawings of the sprites in my style--I have more in my sketchbook that I haven't had time to do]
also I'm SO jealous that you know how to code a game >:(
I really wanna make one but give me some code and I'm like "??? Can I eat it?" ;-;
Sorry for my ramblings...I get reeeeaaallly excited if someone knows about my hyperfixation and I'll just ramble on and on and ON gosh...
I stopped breathing the first time you responded bcz I was like "is this the real Slyph? Am I being pranked?" lmao
Don't sell yourself short, I think the redraw is pretty! I love seeing people's own styles or interpretations on the characters that I've made. That and your art style is adorable and I enjoy seeing them! (I checked out your tumblr earlier, the sleeping Ichigo is just way too cute!! 😭)
Learning how to make a game can be frustrating at times, especially for people who don't normally code (like me lol). I mostly only copy paste codes, but even that can be confusing too sometimes. You can try renpy if you're looking to making your own visual novel. It can be confusing when you first use it, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to make a simple VN in no time.
And please don't feel bad for rambling! I love reading/listening to people's ramblings LMAO I'm just happy that you're enjoying yourself!
Great game and i love Ichigo ^^
Oh and poor Yuzuki /;
Honestly loved this game, did not expect it to be how it was. I got every ending (i hope) and i enjoyed every second of getting them.
Slight spoilers below!!!
_________________________________________
I loved how Ichigo and the MC teamed up and became partners in crime. Did NOT expect that, but it was my favorite ending by far.
created an account just to comment. in love but mostly in agony. i really like haruto and yuzuki's relationship. i wish for everything good to happen to them in another life and wish for BOTH of them to live. theyre so kdskjdmgmckdjg<3
(minor spoilers below)⚠
-----------------------
the true ending was a twist, but not an unwelcomed one. ive been craving for some yan x yan stuff, so i liked it. still tasted bittersweet because of haruto, but its ok... haha,..
thx for such a lovely game. i enjoyed it a lot
Thank you too for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed the experience!
And sorry about haruto hahayknow i was feeling very sad and emotional and stuff but you PULLED OUT THE DETECTIVE CONAN REFERENCE AND I LAUGHED FOR A SOLID MINUTE BECAUSE I DID NOT EXPECT THE ONE MANGA I READ TO BE MENTIONED
read detective conan and chill with haruto end when (the true good ending)😭
HAHA That's truly the best ending. Only in another universe I guess :')
I didn't expect any of the endings. Watching a VN and playing the VN is truly a very diffirent experience, all I can say is that true ending is my favourite.
hi!! happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve been obsessed w this game for so long like since October😭 ichigo is definitely my fav character but they’re all so well written! The art is so good too omg also I made an edit of ichigo it would make me really happy if you watched it your choice though! Definitely one of my favourite games I also loved the concept of the other one you made I don’t remember the name but I wanted the two guys to get together so bad lmao anyway here the link to the edit I made https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYh8By9p/
Hey! Happy
latevalentine's day to you too! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy and omg that edit is super cute!!! You just made me log back into my old, dusty tiktok account just to watch it and it's worth all the effort LMAOOThank you so much for playing and for the edit! <3
🤍WOW! GREAT GAME!🖤
I've commented on the video but I'd like to say it again, thank you for the playthrough! :D
HOLY SGIT I PLAYED THROUGH EVERY ENDING THIS GAME IS AWESOME
This was so incredible. I love the art and the story was magnificent. Had me going for a moment there!!!
Played this immediately after "For Amerta" and I seriously loved it so much!!! I was expecting something much tamer, and boy... was I wrong.
I will say. I thought Ichigo was a girl at first. And I kept thinking that until it was first revealed that he was a guy. If I had a nickel every time this happened, I'd have two, which isn't a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice (the first was Karma from Cinderella Phenonem... why is it always the redheads?)
(Spoilers portion below)
The tragedy of Yuzuru's and Haruko's relationship broke my heart though. The fact that they don't get their happy ending in the game makes me so sad ;_; (I did read the extra content, which at least healed my heart a little bit). Still, I ended up shipping them hardcore. I really love how you developed their relationship
I was not expecting the MC to be just as messed up as Ichigo. When I found out, I thought they were meant to be. They deserve each other lmao.
Thank you for the amazing game <3 fr going to be an avid fan from now on
Hey silversonder! Glad to see you here and enjoyed this game as well!
A lot of people mistook Ichigo as a girl a lot, honestly if I wasn't the one who created Ichigo, I would've thought he's a girl as well LMAOO
Really sorry about Yuzuki and Haruto though, I'm uh- I'm an avid fan of angst.
You're welcome and once again, thank you for the kind comment! It truly means a lot! :D
OMG I was so stupid that I thought it just a happy game when I first played it. I have finished two bad,and each one made me sad .
我只能说大家都是病娇！！！细极思恐的那种！
LMAOO nahh don't worry, you're not stupid for thinking that it's a normal happy game, others thought the same as you do. Still, I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the ride!
Awesome graphic, music and a even more detailed story-line for all the characters. I really enjoyed this game i hope you make more games that are yandere ish themed <3
Thank you!! I'm honestly not sure if I'll be making more yandere games, but I also change my mind easily haha, let's just see how it goes
I loved it smm!! Cant wait for dlc's or any other creations you decide to make!! <33
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
This game is so cute!!!
I loved every moment of this! Thank you for this game!! The true ending was definitely my favorite
aww you're welcome and thank you too for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
I think 2 hours is a more accurate playtime to do all choices and routes. Source: have been reading for 2 hours.
Ahh yeah, most playthroughs I've seen do range around 2 hours. Maybe I will update it, thanks for the telling me!
i got all the endings ! and wow, this is literally one of the best vn i have ever played,, i love this sm and i look forward to more !!! i sure hope this blows up
Oh man, what an honor! Thank you for playing till the end and for commenting! :DD
I love this game with all my heart. First of all excuse me because I will use this comment just to ramble. I went with ichigo's route first because I was interested in his sweet persona, mind you I didn't read the trigger warning or the comments and just went straight to playing, so I thought this was just a sweet game. Spoiler alert, I immediately got hooked and played through all endings in one sitting. I didn't expect the MC to be sick in the head and I personally love her so much, even though what she did was totally wrong. I also wholeheartedly love ichigo, he still stayed with the MC through all routes and I love him for it. I think going through his route and knowing what MC's true personality is like actually made the whole playthrough so much more immersive. And going through the sweet moments with Yuzuki while knowing what those psychopaths are like, I really really enjoy it. I just think Yuzuki and Haruto deserves so much better, I wish they reunited somewhere, but considering there was that one bad ending where literally everyone died, hopefully they wont meet MC and ichigo again lmao. All in all, I love all twists and endings, will there be dlcs or extra contents about them in the future? And I'll be looking forward to your future works, thank you for making this sweet(?) game!
Aww thank you so much for the comment and for playing! I love reading the ramblings lol. So far, the only extra contents are in the form of dev logs. While I do have plans for some sort of prequel and sequel, I'm still unsure if I'll go through with it, because I'm indecisive LMAO
But once again thank you sm! Your comment was really fun to read through! :D
This was such a good game! So many plot twists as well and my jaw dropped every two seconds lol... I really really loved it though!!
Just finished playing them and it was quite outside of box situation visual novel 👁️👁️ just kinda sad that a certain character didn't get their deserve ending😭I do hope there would be a spin-off where all of them have some maybe alternate version? But overall,it is so 👍
Thank you for playing! There's not really any spin-off for now, well, there's a bit of an extra content and also an alternate universe thing if you haven't seen them already, but other than that, there's not much else yet haha
oh my god??? i really didnt expect all that to happen.. this game was simply awesome. aimi's hand/10, the good ending almost made me cry ngl 😭
AIMI'S HAND / 10 PLEASE 😭
HELPPP AIMIS HANF
ughh i remember playing this game a few months ago and i love it soo much and here i am playing it again, i love aimi so much aw
Aww I'm glad! Thank you for playing! :D
Ichigo and aimi should just leave the poor dudes alone and be together, i was fuming all throughout the yuzuki route..........
The game is dope as hell tho, definetely give it a try
The twists twisted and the brains have exploded. I love this game so much to the point that I'm just restraining myself to give out spoilers. WORTH IT TO TRY! This is an absolute puzzle of a game.
the art style is just so good! and the history too, i got the true ending on my second try by accident but i loved it
also blew up my mind when i returned to the other route after getting the real ending bc i just connected some things TT, the game made me so exited it was and experience TT i truly loved it
edit: ugh sorry for my bad eng
Your english is okay, don't worry! Thank you for playing and for commenting! I'm happy that you enjoyed the game! <3
THE NILE IS A RIVER IN EGYPT, YOUR CRUSH IS GAY thats all i can say when im playing yuzuki’s route, i highkey wanted him and haruto be happy but oh well 😭 anw aimi and ichigo r so sane and normal, love that for us <3
