I almost passed straight over this story thinking it was some bad RPG-maker game cuz of the top image.
But it turns out to be a really good visual novel instead.
I only clicked on it cuz I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for what's left of yandere games I have not yet played.
I'm happy it turned out to be a good visual novel instead of a shitty pixelated game.
Awww... I LOVE the meet-cute scene! ^_^
And I can't help but wonder if it's really an accident or not. lol
I love those type of yandere stories. Where it's difficult to tell that it's something off....at first.
And it's only later you look back and realize there really was --if the writer is really good that is. ^_^
People in these games need to learn to close their windows. xD
I realize the value of using that, I do.
But what if people LEARNED from the first time? And actually shut their windows properly? And hired a locksmith?
I'd LOVE to see them do that!
It would force the yandere to be more clever as well.
Not every apartment building have a janitor that lets you into someone's place because you claim to be their friend so you can leave a xmass flower on their desk as a nice surprise for the person you love... fyi: Don't. It seem to REALLY creep people out. ^_^;
Anyway... *chough*
According to a burglar who was interviewed, most locks are actually shitty and easy to lockpick --even the expensive fancy-looking ones.
I forget which type is the good lock you SHOULD buy, but having spent time in the more paranoid parts of europe, I'm guessing those you have to turn the key three times.
Which are not common in the uk or northern europe, and not america either I think.
So he could easily sneak in the door, but it would be trickier than using the window.
And it would add realism to the story if people behaved realistically.
Just a tip.
Oh, wait! *snaps my fingers* I JUST got why she was so freaked out of the break-in! It was the whole thing someone did with a certain garment, wasn't it? /facepalm
...I've studied psychology since I was 16....you'd think I understood how humans think by now. >_>;
Even if it makes little sense to me.
I love all the choices in this game.
I just hope there is a point to them.
(Like for the friend app, it had a lot of choices. And that'd make a treasure trove for setting up Chekhov's Gun moments. With someone knowing just a liiiiitle bit too much, but pretending he didn't know, and just so happened to have the same taste, or it was a random choice and clearly this must be fate, kinda thing.)
Gryff is so sweet. ^_^
I'd probably never look at him twice if I didn't suspect there was a darkness hiding under the surface there, but he's pretty sweet sometimes. (Ironically the mc feels she should be creeped out/worried when he is, but hey!)
I think the only true flaw I have seen in this game thus far (and I am a notorious nitpicker) is that the MC is a bit TOO observant.
It would actually be better if, instead of the mc focusing on "Oh, he knew Tris' name even if I haven't mention it", she could go "Wait, when did I mention Trist? Oh, right, must have done it at the cafe".
Something that makes the reader second-guess whether the thing was important or not, because it'll make the reader wonder if the mc DID mention it or not.
Subtlety is a delicate balance. One never want to give away too much, but at the same time also hint just enough.
But I DO love that he has a good reason for knowing it.
So it's still good writing. ^_^
Oooooh~ And Griff's cunning too....
And so protective~
I like him better and better. :heart:
He's a bit TOO nice tho.
And, of course, my whole view on him is seen through the lenses of assuming -he- is the yandere in this game.
I wouldn't have liked him half as much if he wasn't.
But if he IS the yandere (and I really hope so) then he is one of the best written yandere's I've read since Sebastian in Particles of Reality. ^_^
(Sebastian also started out very sweet, but those writers mastered the art of dropping clues without fully letting the readers realize what was going on until you tried to reject him, or way later. But they're a pro company I think.)
I REALLY hope you'll keep writing this story!
I wanna read more of it!
Please say you'll put it on Steam!
It's the only place I buy games, and I really want this one. ^_^
