I loved playing this so much! The writing, art, and little details (best when indiscreet) are what made the visual novel most enjoyable for me. So much of the conversations seem to flow so well and to such an extended length I honestly get impressed as someone who likes to write - since I know how hard it can be to keep track of dialogue after a point. ESPECIALLY in a game like this with mystery abound everywhere and every sentence needing to hold and read in that same purpose. Having to keep log of all that must be hard! But that's also the charm of it: finding out who these characters are through interaction and WORD! On that note, I read another comment critiquing how unusually 'slow' Big Bad Dogs seem to progress for a yandere game, and that it may do good for it to lean in more with the obsession much earlier in the plot. As a player who loves BBD and all its hundreds of thousands of words - PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THIS! Your effort and passion truly shows. There are many, many, many visual novels on this site (a lot of which are yandere-themed) that are already very cut-to-the-chase, linear, and predictable. And while there's nothing wrong with that, that doesn't mean these kind of games should have to always fit that pattern to be enjoyable or acceptable within the genre. I view BBD as a passion project above all. It would be a shame to smother that by condensing your creativity in fewer words or less build-up of intrigue, just to cater to an audience only in it for the immediate 'climax' of a story revolving around obsession. In my opinion, I could only love this VN so much because we are able to thoroughly learn these characters. It's what makes their motives that much more meaningful. When they seem like an actual person with history rather than a stereotypical vessel for overused and easy tropes. I can honestly say I'd put in much more hours than I have now to gain even the barest hint of what BB may look like. Or his time in the army. And more of his quirky preferences and habits. Or even the kind of man his father is for BB to barely speak about in comparison to his mother. 

All that to say, I really like the direction Big Bad Dogs is going in! Please keep it up!

aaah thank you so much for this review!! 💖 and dont worry at all! im a yapper so i will definitely stick to this slow pace, i want it to be a long story because when BBD is finished i think the new players will have the satisfaction of building relationships slowly with the characters! :3
