This game was so fun! so far I've played the routes in order up to Haru (in the middle of Haru's) and I love the characters like, Yuta and Toshio are very different from normal stereotypes with their *major* quirks and I love it! especially Haru being a guy. I really liked the twist. I like him either way though haha. I normally only do one route since I find some characters generic, but I loved all of the characters especially Haru. The character writing is so nice! especially to not have just tsundere, nice, and edgy characters like most games. It sort of looked like it at first, but the characters have a lot of depth that make them more than like they appear.
Thank you ! I'm really happy you like the game and the character's development so far ! I'm also really glad that you don't think they aren't too generic, I tried my best to make them a bit interesting (^ w^)/
Like a sa1tamaOP I didn't read the guide when i play Ryu's route with my friend, I didn't expected that choice changes everythink. (I choose herbal tea because i really like tea... Ha, ha..) At beginning we think about Kenji's route (He looks soo cool after all) Well fate decided. And we are crying at 4 am apologizing him for our initial thoughts about him. he totally steal our heart's! Today we decide to play other's route, but i think we will always love the most this litte gloomy ray of sunshine <3 Thank you for your work! This was impossibly amazing!
Thank you for your kind comment! I'm happy you like the game so far and hopefully you'll like the other routes as well (^ w ^)/ Don't hesitate to join the discord server if ever you feel like it ~
I didn't read the guide so i did Ryu's route first because he looked the most interesting. It was a ROLLER COASTER of emotions. This is an amazing game and thank you for letting me experience it!! <3
Thanks to you for your kind comment <3 Aw you did Ryu first? I hope it will not waste the experience for the other routes x) Or maybe in the contrary, now that you know his backstory, you'll see the other routes differently than if you play him last (^ w ^) I hope you'll like the other characters as well ~
Oh, and I also want to say this game is amazing. Art and all. U really know how to make a gal catch feels 4 the characters. Hope u create another. Btw, have u created other games? This doesn't look like ur first.
Thank you so much for your kind comment <3 Haha yes, Toshio's route is kind of heartbreaking... I totally did that on purpose! x) I'm really happy you are loving the game so far ~ Also yes, it's my very first game and I put all my heart in it, so I'm really glad you think it's good enough to look like a 'not a first project' ! Thank you! (> w <)
The development for a second project just started not so long ago, but for this one I'll only be the director. It will be a more mature project, with adult scenes here and there. The sprite artist has social media if you want to see her style. You can find her at @AtelierAria on twitter, if you are curious ~
There is no release date though, so you might have to wait a certain time x)
As for my other solo projects (I hope I'll be able to make the music myself this time), I have at least two more! But still no release date for these ones either ^^" I'm posting time to time on the discord server though O/
Hi! Just uploaded the intro and prologue part -1 of the game. And this time sound is included too! I hope this time I did it right. Just incase anyone wants to see the video. Here is the Link
how come whenever i choose my type in a game it goes flip flop, and i enjoy it even more???? 10/10 game, i haven't played much but it's good so far :D
edit: so i finished all of the sweet routes, and they were all really cute!! i really recommend playing through all the routes, in order (i did ryu's first and it would've made more sense with the others routes as context)
Welp, it took me a while but I'm finally done with the game! lol So here are some of my general thoughts (sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes or typos lol)
I would definitely recommend this visual novel a lot. First of all, I think it's really nicely made. The artstyle is pleasing to the eye, it's got a nice interface (the only thing I was really missing was the CG gallery) and a sick anime-like opening! (Seriously, that one was such a cool surprise! Looks like a lot of work went into it!). Besides that, I really appreciated how smaller characters in the story (Ichigo, Minami, Student council vice president, crafts club president, parents etc) all got their own sprites (some even with many variations!). I also loved the way Aya's family was presented! I think it's really neat how each of them had some character, and they had adorable interactions as a whole (I really liked Takkun a lot haha he was such a cool big brother ^^). It's nice that they actually played a role in the story - like some other parents too. One of my favourite things was that each route was different (though they still made sense with the overall story??? idk how to say this xD) It wasn't just a copy + paste list of events with some small changes depending on which character you chose to romance. This is actually one of the main reasons why I liked this game so much. It was really refreshing - and speaking of refreshing, same could be said about how there were no real bad ends in the game. Although the sweet ends were definitely more satisfying overall in my opinion lol. What else... Oh, the protagonist! I actually liked Aya. She seemed more real to me than other visual novel protags, and I found myself thinking the same as her in some situations. Though she did share the common "too oblivious for romance" trait, I though it to be actually kind of cute with her lol. And I definitely could appreciate that she was able to stand up for herself (+ she looked really cute in the cgs! I need her sprite ah! xD). Now the love interests....
[THIS PART CONTAINS SPOILERS, LIKE A LOT OF EM PROBABLY-]
> IKKI < My first impression of him in the game was "looks pretty cool and he'll prolly grow on me". I didn't have that high of expectations for him, because generally I'm not that driven to the tsundere bad boy type. Although I did find him cute at the end of the demo. And also I got worried by all the hints about like medical issues (I didn't know if I should expect any minor hearbreak or not lol). I went with him first in the full game (following the recommended order throughout my gameplay) and weelll. I did end up liking him. I think both he and Akane had cute interactions with Aya (and also Akane made Ikki's character cuter too lol). Also even though he started off pretty terrible, I found Toshio's development in his route to be funny lol ("But rejoice, you aren't a trashy, disgusting bitch-thing anymore. You're just ugly now." being my favourite line XD). I think my favourite scene from Ikki's whole route was the fight between him and Toshio, at Ryu's place. A 2nd place would probably be either Ikki and Aya at the aquarium or drunk Ikki. One thing I kind of didn't like was Ikki's mood switches where he would just revert to him from the start and push Aya away =v= Oh and also I accidentally thought I did something wrong on his Sweet route because his Friend end is smashed in there, and has a cg and all lol I thought it was gonna end but then it just kept going thankfully xD Oh and... I liked that his Sweet end had sort of two variations but then it unfortunately gave me false hopes for the next boy..... [*]
> TOSHIO < God. Toshio. I don't even know where to start lmao. Okay my first impression was, unsuprisingly, pretty bad. Looking at him generally, without taking his own route into account, I'm still not sure how to feel about him. He was definitely better or worse in some routes lol. But his own, though. Damn. Okay well going into it in the demo I started thinking "oh well, he is pretty crappy but I'm sure he's got some tragic backstory to back it up + Aya is actually putting him in his place and standing up to him, so it is kind of satisfying in a way to see him getting dragged off of his high horse lol". Like, I expected him to just be a harsher version of Ikki - a big tsundere. But I absolutely did not expect how he changed at all. I'm still overwhelmed thinking about his route xD. I really shared Aya's thoughts on this one. He turned out to be so cute!!!! and weird???? ahh sad too... asdisak0dak- The way he got so completely devoted to Aya and he was just literally like a little puppy and ahhh.... And he was so adorable when it came to sweets (in most routes actually lmao), and his expressions were so soft and he was so straightforward and cute..... Of course his pain-affection-issue-thingy was kind of weird but overall ahhhh what the heck how did he turn out so adorable.... My favourite scene is probably the one where Aya accidentally calls him her pet... lmao Actually it's hard to choose one xD I liked his confession a lot too... BUT! OH my god. I can't accept his ending. I am sooo bad with separations and I was finishing his Sweet ending at like midnight right before bed and I literally wanted to scream when he left and ahhh.... ;-; I was seriously uspet XD I thought "no- this- this can't be the end, right??? Ikki had 2 variations, please tell me Toshio stays in one please please please-" but he did not XD And ahhh.... justice for Toshio omg. I think after his route I got way more into it, and like idk if it was the game's magic or what but I started getting really emotional lol I may or may not have cried bcuz Toshio wahhh.... I seriously need some epilogue or something, just to see them reunite bcuz my heart can't take this T-T
> YUTA < Okay well character wise, Yuta is kind of more my type. A bit too formal, but still cute lol. Although after I did his friend end options in the demo, I started getting suspicious. I was kind of thinking "oh jeez he is totally faking all this, is he going to turn out to be like an awfully rude bad boy too lmao". But. He did not xD And gosh, the way he snapped. I actually suspected he might be the yandere of the game, that was hinted in some routes with all the locking up in a cage lol. I did not really expect him to turn out to just be a closeted otaku xD He was fun though. I liked how cute he could get and CAN I JUST MENTION HIS ADORABLE CG FOR WHEN U ASK HIM FOR THE CONFESSION-. Although he was also a bit frustrating with all the pushing away and avoiding, I kinda felt for him (with all this pretending and keeping up a perfect image). Plus he was definitely fun to see teased by others lmao. I also liked the whole club in his route. Hazuki was a nice character to see. Oh and the rivarly between Haru and Yuta >.> I liked it, made me kinda think in his friend end we're just gonna get with Haru instead lmao. Oh and his Sweet end was really cute ^^ Thankfully Aya was well Aya, because I don't think my heart could handle another separation TvT Though I don't think Yuta's friend end was too memorable, seen as I can't remember it at all as I type this xD
> HARU < Okay, Haru. Hmmh. Well for starters I think it's cute how in most routes you can see Haru has some feelings for Aya. This is why I was sort of excited to get to this route from the start. And I have to say, before anything. I did not see Haru's big reveal coming and I feel kind of betrayed tbh XD (my girls love route.... </3) Like for some reason, I did not suspect anything in both the demo and the routes before Haru's. The only real moment where I had suspicions towards Haru gender was when Aya fell from the stairs on his chest. And even then, I was kind off not right there bcuz I was thinking more like trans? Struggling with body dysmorphia? BbBBb idk I'm slow =w= Overall though I think Haru was really cute... I liked the scene where they were playing horror games both times lol And Haru with short hair.... I'm weak for him. Even though I couldn't get used to thinking he's a boy in routes later on, and had to be reminded by Ryu's hints lol Ah and Haru being jealous over Yuta was my jaaaam. And Haru's interactions with Ichigo were gold too xD ("Someone, rub a lamp. If really genies do exist, then please make her stop. It's one of my three wishes." so savage XD) Oh and also I think Haru's friend end was one of the best. Even though I still prefered the sweet end lol
> KENJI < Okay, well first of all Kenji is kind of my character type xD But then again, he gave me suspicious vibes in the demo. So I wasn't sure how to completely feel about him. But in the end he did turn out to be a really good boy! He's so cute and pure, and ahh I feel bad for him in his route because of his cousin ;-; Also hot damn his family is so pretty, what the heck. I fell in love with his mom and his dad, I'm sorry Kenji XD Their sprites are just so pretty... Ah and also Kenji was acting so cute when jealous lol I just can't believe Aya couldn't figure it all out after she held Ryu's hand for a bit xD Oh also, while playing the demo for a sec I thought Kenji and Tanaka could be the boys from Aya's memory mentioned in Ryu's route lol Well I thought Ryu was one of them at first cuz of his reactions, but then I played Kenji's route and Aya mentioned two boys and it seemed to fit + they lived in the mountains buuut in the end it was not them lol I wish we kinda got more of Tanaka, I actually thought he and Minami might have something going on like Ichigo and Hazuki lol I think my favourite scene was hiding in Kenji's room from Tanaka. The CGs were so cute ahhh.. Just Kenji blushing, 10/10
> RYU < Okay, well I just finished his route and I'm still kind of processing XD. I ah.... Going into his route I was stil a bit unsure whether he's actually related to Kenji or not, but he was definitely suspicious. At first I just thought he was an adorable hyper boy but Ichigo just kept hinting something was up with him, and then again - he did seem too happy to be true lol Plus he was always there! He kind of reminded me of 707 from Mystic Messenger in a sense lol I did not see his complete personality switch coming tho. Not gonna lie, at first I was a bit bummed out. He did seem less fun, and I was afraid I might not enjoy his route as much with such a big change. However, even his true personality grew on me. I don't think I'm completely used to it, but I did end up finding his interactions with Aya cute. Ah, especially that one CG where he takes off his glasses and lays on her chest.... Definite fave >< Oh but I do wish we could get more interactions between him and Kenji, seen as the cousin played a big role in his route. One thing I couldn't understand about Ryu in other routes was his relationship with Ikki and Toshio - he did not seem to care as much, but well, now I know why lol And he did all of this for them too... T-T Oh and I feel like his relationship with his adoptive parents could've been explained a little better? Idk it just felt kind of weird to me that he could just stay at Aya's place for so long, like he was about to get adopted lol But then again the interactions with Aya's family were cute, so I didn't think on it that much xD Overall liked his route, although I did miss his happy persona, even if just for the looks... (and I can't remember which routes this happened on right now but I died when during the sports fesitval they were talking about the figurines and well, something else XDD Ikki's and Yuta's reactions were gold, bless Ryu for that lmao)
And I think that's all my brain can come up with right now lol I don't usually write long reviews bcuz I don't have enough braincells for this, but I really enjoyed playing your game ^^ Tears well shed. Thank you for making a lovely long game with interesting characters that helped me escape reality for a while. It was really fun <3
Woah ! Thank you so much for this detailed review, I'm sure it took you a lot of time! (° v °) I'm happy you loved the game ~ I think people are going to have mixed feelings about Toshio's route or Ryu's route, but I also hope it will not upset them too much (and yes... baby Toshi deserves some justice!) So far, Ikki seems to be the fav, followed by Toshio. Surprisingly I didn't have much of feedback about Kenji (which I thought he would be one of the fav too) but I think it's maybe because most of the people are actually following the recommended order and they probably haven't started his route yet x)
Once again, thank you for your kind comment and time! (^ w^)/
Love the game so far I only did Ikki, but I love that there were new scenes between sweet and friend route! I do wish there was a gallery for this. Overall cute game! So many lines made me think oh no what is this foreshadowing!!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it so far ! (> w<)/ Yes, I kind of had fun trying to put hints here and there in some of the lines. I hope I did it well x) As for the gallery, I'm sorry about that, my programming skills are really limited (even when I try to follow the tutorial). I regret it too ;-;
Thank you ! (> w <)/ And I'm happy you like Toshio (he was my fav to write ~)! I hope people will like him more after playing his route, since he tends to piss them off at the beginning of the story xD
Yes, I think so too ^^" I think it's mostly due to the fact that I'm not used to write and I didn't really know how to end the routes smoothly (aaaand also because I didn't know how to fade the end of the routes to the credits video... surely I could have done that with code, but my skills at programming are really limited) (> x>) But I'm happy you liked it either way, thank you ~
Thank you so much for this game and especially for the incredible personality of the protagonist, she is not an idiot who plays poor thing SHE IS HARDCORE AND STILL SO CUTE
ANG OMG THE ART IS SO CUTE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK GUYS (im from Brazil, sorry for my english)(ikki marry me your
emo boy)
Thank you for your kind comment ! Ikki seems to be one of the most popular so far (for what i've seen) and I'm glad you like his route ! I hope you will love the other characters too <3
hi your art style is really good.....!!!!! is it alright to ask what exactly the other sensitive content entails...? sorry, i'm just used to a certain trigger of mine coming up in visual novels so i'd like to check if it's here or not ^^
Don't worry, it's totally alright to ask ~ The sensitive content is mostly self-hurting matter, mental illness, food disorder, fear of people, kid abuse (beating and/or verbal abuse), family issue and death. It's not really shown in details though, since the game focuses more on the everyday life or the character getting over it and trying to think of a better future (é o è)
I hope you will still enjoy the game, if ever you decide to play it! If not, thank you for stopping by and asking about the game. It also makes me happy to see you might be interested (^ w^)/
Thank you so much for your let's play! I was really happy and surprised because I wasn't expecting it at all ! I watched the video from start to finish and smiled the whole time (> w <) I will watch the next parts for sure ~ Also I'm really glad that you love it so far, I hope you'll continue to enjoy the rest of the story ^^ You choose to pursue Kenji route first though, but he is one of the most spoilery (Ryu being THE most spoilery) so I hope you'll still appreciate the rest of the others routes knowing his backstory x) The recommended order is : Ikki (clover) > Toshio (cigarettes) > Yuta (headphone) > Haru (bracelet) > Kenji (keychain) and Ryu (herbal tea), in case you want to follow the routes like that next time
Can't wait to see your next video, if ever you are doing it ! O/
Now that you mention it, maybe I should be more precise about that in the description... I thought the color of the choices would be enough, but maybe it wasn't (> O <) Thank you for pointing it out ! O/
I've finished playing Ikki Route. Afraid of spamming, so I didn't put all my video here lol.
So then for the final rate. Its an awesome game. It has a lovely intro, background and character design, nice story and bgm, and a high repeatability (the ability to play the game more than once) because of the difference between each route (Note: I haven't play all the route, but I'm pretty sure they has a lots of difference).
Thank you ! I'll watch all the videos as soon as I have time ~ I'm really glad you liked Ikki's route, hopefully there is enough difference between each route. At least I tried x)
Thank you again for your time and your feedback, it means a lot for me and I hope you'll enjoy the other characters if ever you play their routes someday (^ w^)/
Thank you for your kind comment ! (> w <)/ I can't wait for your feedback, don't hesitate to join the Discord server if you want to talk more about it ~
Aw, thank you ! I didn't know it was possible to love ALL of them, but it does make me super happy to hear that ! Thank you for playing and for loving it that much ! <3

I hope you'll like the other characters as well ~
So there's other Twitter account. I thought all along that your Twitter is just Mellowbee. My mistake!
Don't worry it's okay, I don't really promote my accounts anyway xD
Yahoooo~☆
Can we change the mc's name?
Unfortunately not, mostly because I didn't succeed to code this feature properly (u___u)
ngl Ryu looks like Todoroki
thank goodness i'm not the only one who thought that.
How DARE U BREAK MAH HEART IN TOSHI'S ROUTE!!! Augh! I got the FEELS. ( And no, I'm not saying this because I didn't read the warningz.)
Oh, and I also want to say this game is amazing. Art and all. U really know how to make a gal catch feels 4 the characters. Hope u create another. Btw, have u created other games? This doesn't look like ur first.
Thank you so much for your kind comment <3
Haha yes, Toshio's route is kind of heartbreaking... I totally did that on purpose! x)

UwU's and OwO's u amazing bean! Oh, and good luck on ur 2nd project!!! I'll be cheering from the sidelines!
P.S. I also think Yuta was a nice touch to the game! XD. Way to make The Prince an Otaku! Lol
Hello! Im sorry to bother you but saving doesn't work in my game but apart from that great game Im enjoying it alot so far!
That's weird, you're the first person reporting that and it works for me (> O <)
Did you dl the Mac version or Linux version perhaps?
No I downloaded the right version I played around with the files a little bit (idek how) but I think I fixed it thank you for your time though!
Glad you were be able to fix it (because I have no clue why it didn't work for you)! (^ o^)/
Hi! Just uploaded the intro and prologue part -1 of the game. And this time sound is included too! I hope this time I did it right. Just incase anyone wants to see the video. Here is the Link
Yes the sound works, thank you for uploading (^ o^)/
Thanks to you for making the game. (^o^)/
how come whenever i choose my type in a game it goes flip flop, and i enjoy it even more???? 10/10 game, i haven't played much but it's good so far :D
edit: so i finished all of the sweet routes, and they were all really cute!! i really recommend playing through all the routes, in order (i did ryu's first and it would've made more sense with the others routes as context)
Thank you for liking the game ! I'm glad you find it good so far ~

God. Toshio. I don't even know where to start lmao. Okay my first impression was, unsuprisingly, pretty bad. Looking at him generally, without taking his own route into account, I'm still not sure how to feel about him. He was definitely better or worse in some routes lol. But his own, though. Damn. Okay well going into it in the demo I started thinking "oh well, he is pretty crappy but I'm sure he's got some tragic backstory to back it up + Aya is actually putting him in his place and standing up to him, so it is kind of satisfying in a way to see him getting dragged off of his high horse lol". Like, I expected him to just be a harsher version of Ikki - a big tsundere. But I absolutely did not expect how he changed at all. I'm still overwhelmed thinking about his route xD. I really shared Aya's thoughts on this one.

I seriously need some epilogue or something, just to see them reunite bcuz my heart can't take this T-T

Okay well character wise, Yuta is kind of more my type. A bit too formal, but still cute lol. Although after I did his friend end options in the demo, I started getting suspicious. I was kind of thinking "oh jeez he is totally faking all this, is he going to turn out to be like an awfully rude bad boy too lmao". But. He did not xD And gosh, the way he snapped. I actually suspected he might be the yandere of the game, that was hinted in some routes with all the locking up in a cage lol. I did not really expect him to turn out to just be a closeted otaku xD He was fun though. I liked how cute he could get and CAN I JUST MENTION HIS ADORABLE CG FOR WHEN U ASK HIM FOR THE CONFESSION-. Although he was also a bit frustrating with all the pushing away and avoiding, I kinda felt for him (with all this pretending and keeping up a perfect image). Plus he was definitely fun to see teased by others lmao. I also liked the whole club in his route. Hazuki was a nice character to see. Oh and the rivarly between Haru and Yuta >.> I liked it, made me kinda think in his friend end we're just gonna get with Haru instead lmao. Oh and his Sweet end was really cute ^^ Thankfully Aya was well Aya, because I don't think my heart could handle another separation TvT Though I don't think Yuta's friend end was too memorable, seen as I can't remember it at all as I type this xD
> HARU <
Okay, Haru. Hmmh. Well for starters I think it's cute how in most routes you can see Haru has some feelings for Aya. This is why I was sort of excited to get to this route from the start. And I have to say, before anything. I did not see Haru's big reveal coming and I feel kind of betrayed tbh XD (my girls love route.... </3) Like for some reason, I did not suspect anything in both the demo and the routes before Haru's. The only real moment where I had suspicions towards Haru gender was when Aya fell from the stairs on his chest. And even then, I was kind off not right there bcuz I was thinking more like trans? Struggling with body dysmorphia? BbBBb idk I'm slow =w= Overall though I think Haru was really cute... I liked the scene where they were playing horror games both times lol And Haru with short hair.... I'm weak for him. Even though I couldn't get used to thinking he's a boy in routes later on, and had to be reminded by Ryu's hints lol Ah and Haru being jealous over Yuta was my jaaaam. And Haru's interactions with Ichigo were gold too xD ("Someone, rub a lamp. If really genies do exist, then please make her stop. It's one of my three wishes." so savage XD) Oh and also I think Haru's friend end was one of the best. Even though I still prefered the sweet end lol
> KENJI <
Okay, well first of all Kenji is kind of my character type xD But then again, he gave me suspicious vibes in the demo. So I wasn't sure how to completely feel about him. But in the end he did turn out to be a really good boy! He's so cute and pure, and ahh I feel bad for him in his route because of his cousin ;-; Also hot damn his family is so pretty, what the heck. I fell in love with his mom and his dad, I'm sorry Kenji XD Their sprites are just so pretty... Ah and also Kenji was acting so cute when jealous lol I just can't believe Aya couldn't figure it all out after she held Ryu's hand for a bit xD Oh also, while playing the demo for a sec I thought Kenji and Tanaka could be the boys from Aya's memory mentioned in Ryu's route lol Well I thought Ryu was one of them at first cuz of his reactions, but then I played Kenji's route and Aya mentioned two boys and it seemed to fit + they lived in the mountains buuut in the end it was not them lol I wish we kinda got more of Tanaka, I actually thought he and Minami might have something going on like Ichigo and Hazuki lol I think my favourite scene was hiding in Kenji's room from Tanaka. The CGs were so cute ahhh.. Just Kenji blushing, 10/10
> RYU <
Okay, well I just finished his route and I'm still kind of processing XD. I ah.... Going into his route I was stil a bit unsure whether he's actually related to Kenji or not, but he was definitely suspicious. At first I just thought he was an adorable hyper boy but Ichigo just kept hinting something was up with him, and then again - he did seem too happy to be true lol Plus he was always there! He kind of reminded me of 707 from Mystic Messenger in a sense lol I did not see his complete personality switch coming tho. Not gonna lie, at first I was a bit bummed out. He did seem less fun, and I was afraid I might not enjoy his route as much with such a big change. However, even his true personality grew on me. I don't think I'm completely used to it, but I did end up finding his interactions with Aya cute. Ah, especially that one CG where he takes off his glasses and lays on her chest.... Definite fave >< Oh but I do wish we could get more interactions between him and Kenji, seen as the cousin played a big role in his route. One thing I couldn't understand about Ryu in other routes was his relationship with Ikki and Toshio - he did not seem to care as much, but well, now I know why lol And he did all of this for them too... T-T Oh and I feel like his relationship with his adoptive parents could've been explained a little better? Idk it just felt kind of weird to me that he could just stay at Aya's place for so long, like he was about to get adopted lol But then again the interactions with Aya's family were cute, so I didn't think on it that much xD Overall liked his route, although I did miss his happy persona, even if just for the looks... (and I can't remember which routes this happened on right now but I died when during the sports fesitval they were talking about the figurines and well, something else XDD Ikki's and Yuta's reactions were gold, bless Ryu for that lmao)
And I think that's all my brain can come up with right now lol I don't usually write long reviews bcuz I don't have enough braincells for this, but I really enjoyed playing your game ^^ Tears well shed. Thank you for making a lovely long game with interesting characters that helped me escape reality for a while. It was really fun <3
Please though. Toshio justice is all I ask for XD
Woah ! Thank you so much for this detailed review, I'm sure it took you a lot of time! (° v °)
I'm happy you loved the game ~
I think people are going to have mixed feelings about Toshio's route or Ryu's route, but I also hope it will not upset them too much (and yes... baby Toshi deserves some justice!)
So far, Ikki seems to be the fav, followed by Toshio. Surprisingly I didn't have much of feedback about Kenji (which I thought he would be one of the fav too) but I think it's maybe because most of the people are actually following the recommended order and they probably haven't started his route yet x)
Once again, thank you for your kind comment and time! (^ w^)/
Love the game so far I only did Ikki, but I love that there were new scenes between sweet and friend route! I do wish there was a gallery for this. Overall cute game! So many lines made me think oh no what is this foreshadowing!!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it so far ! (> w<)/
Yes, I kind of had fun trying to put hints here and there in some of the lines. I hope I did it well x)
As for the gallery, I'm sorry about that, my programming skills are really limited (even when I try to follow the tutorial). I regret it too ;-;
I really love this game! So far I love Toshio the most. He's just so cute when you befriend him!!! He reminds me of a little duckling! UwU
Thank you ! (> w <)/
And I'm happy you like Toshio (he was my fav to write ~)! I hope people will like him more after playing his route, since he tends to piss them off at the beginning of the story xD
really fun game. the endings are a bit abrupt though.
Yes, I think so too ^^"
I think it's mostly due to the fact that I'm not used to write and I didn't really know how to end the routes smoothly (aaaand also because I didn't know how to fade the end of the routes to the credits video... surely I could have done that with code, but my skills at programming are really limited) (> x>)
But I'm happy you liked it either way, thank you ~
ainda não joguei a rota dele, é boa?
É muito fofa, é também é o único que é o que parece ser
Thank you for your kind comment !
Ikki seems to be one of the most popular so far (for what i've seen) and I'm glad you like his route ! I hope you will love the other characters too <3
OMGGGG it's outttt!!! Imma edit this once i'm done but I just wanna say the demo was great so I'm rly excited to play thissss!! :D
Thank you ! I can't wait for your feedback ! <3
hi your art style is really good.....!!!!!
is it alright to ask what exactly the other sensitive content entails...? sorry, i'm just used to a certain trigger of mine coming up in visual novels so i'd like to check if it's here or not ^^
Thank you, I'm happy you love the art ! <3
Don't worry, it's totally alright to ask ~
The sensitive content is mostly self-hurting matter, mental illness, food disorder, fear of people, kid abuse (beating and/or verbal abuse), family issue and death. It's not really shown in details though, since the game focuses more on the everyday life or the character getting over it and trying to think of a better future (é o è)
I hope you will still enjoy the game, if ever you decide to play it!
If not, thank you for stopping by and asking about the game. It also makes me happy to see you might be interested (^ w^)/
awww, yea unfortunatley i dont think i can :{ but ty so much for answering! i wish you good luck on future projects :}
Thank you ! ~
Played it and I must say something about it....
ITS SO CUTEEEEEE I LOVE IT! Although the theme seems a little bit dark.
May I have your social media account name Coco Melon (Karamelow) so I can tag you in the description of my video?
Oh don't need to! I've found your Twitter!
Thank you so much for your let's play! I was really happy and surprised because I wasn't expecting it at all !
I watched the video from start to finish and smiled the whole time (> w <)
I will watch the next parts for sure ~
Also I'm really glad that you love it so far, I hope you'll continue to enjoy the rest of the story ^^
You choose to pursue Kenji route first though, but he is one of the most spoilery (Ryu being THE most spoilery) so I hope you'll still appreciate the rest of the others routes knowing his backstory x)
The recommended order is : Ikki (clover) > Toshio (cigarettes) > Yuta (headphone) > Haru (bracelet) > Kenji (keychain) and Ryu (herbal tea), in case you want to follow the routes like that next time
Can't wait to see your next video, if ever you are doing it ! O/
Whaaaaat???? I totally didn't know that choosing those items direct your route. Thought there was no relation of the orders and the items. My mistake.
I'll go back and change my choice, and yes I'm doing part 2 later.
Now that you mention it, maybe I should be more precise about that in the description... I thought the color of the choices would be enough, but maybe it wasn't (> O <) Thank you for pointing it out ! O/
You're welcome!
Part 2 is here. This time I properly choose Sweet Potato route.
I just saw it and commented the video, thank you again for playing (^ w^) ~
Okay!
So then for the final rate. Its an awesome game. It has a lovely intro, background and character design, nice story and bgm, and a high repeatability (the ability to play the game more than once) because of the difference between each route (Note: I haven't play all the route, but I'm pretty sure they has a lots of difference).
Thank you ! I'll watch all the videos as soon as I have time ~
I'm really glad you liked Ikki's route, hopefully there is enough difference between each route. At least I tried x)
Thank you again for your time and your feedback, it means a lot for me and I hope you'll enjoy the other characters if ever you play their routes someday (^ w^)/
