Just wanted to say i clicked to play this cause i saw we broke a 12 million dollar painting and immediately thought of ouran hs host club LOLL, i shall play and leave my review after!
iM BACK (took me a little because the demo was long, which I love, so much content for a demo is beautiful)
This game is AMAZINGLY good so far, as mentioned before love the length of the demo, the art is beautiful, the dialouge is so captivating, and that 180 with the story line gave me so many chills. I think it's insane (in a good way) of how the story just changed so quickly. From the quirky funny opening to...well THAT ending of the demo, it left so many chills. And yes I did open the game several times after getting booted out just to see all the dialogue left LOL. Jump scare waking up the next day and seeing a new file called 'a gift for you' (i will be looking for the others ty :P). I think the beginning of vibe of the game really lowered my guard till i forgot i literally found this VN because of the yandere tag.
Definetely could say more but I fear I'd yap too much and spoil a bit in this comment, so I def encourage more people to play, and really see what this demo has to offer. Amazing job, I can't wait to see this game finished!
OMGGG this comment genuinely made my entire week, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the humor and the sudden turn, lowering the player's guard with the comedy was the exact plan! So hearing that it gave you chills in the end and worked means everything. And huge respect for reopening the game to find all the extra dialogue, I really hoped someone would see it! ;)
As for the desktop files... for this prologue, M only left that single gift (for now ;P), but there will definitely be a lot more secrets waiting in the full game!! ^^
Regarding the length, I'm happy that wasn't a con! The full version will have so much more new content in store. If you enjoyed the dialogue in this one, you'll love the full game! I can't reveal anything yet, but just be prepared for the story to take even crazier turns you definitely won't see coming. ^^
Thank you so much for playing and for such an amazing, detailed review!! It really means the world to me that you enjoyed the game :,) If you have a quick second, leaving a star rating on the page would help a ton with itch.io's algorithm too!!
That being said, I can't wait to share the full version with you! I hope you'll enjoy it just as much, if not even more. Until then, I'm always available for questions! ^^
so i was looking thro the files (i genuinely cant stop thinking abt this game im so excited for this release) and I just realized that creepy lil mf that we see when we launch the game back after getting booted and all the saves and such being erased is named 'mac_creepy' WHICH SHOULDVE ASSUMED SO, but jokes on him that just makes me more interested in what this game has to offer and where this story is going LOLLL. I know what you're up to Mac <.< (amazing game as i've said sm times now I'm just so excited where this leads)
OMG, hey again!! :D
Hearing that you cannot stop thinking about the game makes me SOOOO happy!!! Really, that is the greatest compliment I could ever ask for!! Talking with you guys and sharing this excitement genuinely feels like gushing over stories with close friends! ^^
AND YESSSSS YOU FOUND 'mac_creepy' HAHAHA LOVE ITTT!!! You caught him! You were not supposed to see that asset name, but the fact that finding it made you even more interested is so iconic LOL. Mac really thought he was being sneaky, but you were 3 steps ahead of him! ;D
There are definitely going to be plenty more hidden details, meta surprises, and subtle breadcrumbs like that scattered throughout the story. And who knows... in the full game, randomly looking through the files while playing might just end up being very rewarding for you ;)
That being said, you should definitely be excited for the full release!! There is going to be A LOT of unhinged content. I REALLY WANNA TALK ABOUT IT SO BADLY BUT I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE FULL GAME IS OUT AHHHHHH!!!!!!! T^T
In fact, since the demo locks you out after finishing it, I’m really hoping a streamer or YouTuber picks it up soon so you guys actually have a way to re-experience the demo and see all those scenes again! If not, you'll just have to wait until the full game is out ;P (I know Mac is so evil for that lockout, but he needs time to prepare hehe)
Either way, I don't think anyone can predict where the story is headed because it’s genuinely going to be such a huge plot twist!! But I am SOO excited to hear your theories!!! I'm sure you already have some ideas in mind. Definitely hold onto them and tell me whether they came true when the full release drops! :D
Thank you again for all the love and excitement!! Seeing you dig into the game like this and genuinely loving it fuels my motivation to keep working on the full release!!! I'll make sure that it exceeds all of your expectations and more!! <3
