I've never actually played one of these types of games before, a dating game, and I wanted some advice.

So, bit of context, I'm a straight (more just attracted to afab but I just generally chalk it up to straight for ease) cis dude.  Now, I'm more than capable of playing other characters who have other attractions than me and other gender identities from me. Looking at Rosita, I see she's only lesbian, and it got me thinking.

I was wondering if I should make a female character so that I'm not locked out of any romance routes at all (since everyone else is bi or pan or otherwise), or if it would be recommended I just play as if the character is myself?

Edit: Really quick just adding. I'm excited to play this game, I'm just hoping to play it in a way that will give the best first experience!

Honestly play however you think you would get the best experience! Self-inserting is the design but people absolutely make OCs to go through routes with all the time. Plus even if she isn't romancable if you play as yourself, you can be her BFF! And you can have a more than happy relationship with someone as just friends!

So by all means play your preferred way ^_^

Alrighty 07

Think I'll go as a self-insert just see where I'd end up and who with. I did run through the whole orientation thing too by the way, and the characters all seem like amazing fun!

I did figure I could be her friend though at least, wouldn't be far from reality. I'm the token straight cis dude for a few friend groups of mine haha. And I guess in this case it leaves some room open for future runs to see everything!

Thanks for the advice by the way, I appreciate it!

I love these games. I do promote your game. I hope you decide to put it on Steam too, please.

(+2)

It is on steam! :D

Sorry to ask this, but is there a way to save file edit? (yes this is about the guilt thing in one of the routes, I wanna know if you could potentionally get the cgs for all endings while also not being stuck with the -2 to the relationship) 


Thank you so much!

(+3)

You can lead a revolution on a giant rat (who makes all of the rules) and get into a polyamorous relationship in the same route, highly recommend it.


This was only my first route as well, I'm hyped

(+1)

It is mildly annoying that seen text so you can skip it isn't transferred alongside loading saves, so it's more favorable to start an entirely new game instead of loading a previous save for another route, but else I don't have any issues yet

(+1)

just wanted to say thank you for this game (characters, stories, vibes... love me some rainbow hopepunk). part 3 will be welcomed with opened arms when it's ready  :)

(+7)(-1)

every fucking time, there's a pretty girl in a game and I'm like "aw she's cute I'll romance her" AND THEN THE FUCKING BROKEN LIL ANGRY TWINK COMES IN WITH A SOFT LITTLE VOICE AND  EVERY TIME MAN 

I'M SO WEAK TO STUPID LIL FREAKIN AAAAAAAAA 

noel is so fucking cute dammit

stop making me fall for the same freaking character type I have a problem 

(-1)

fr tho, I started cackling the moment I heard Noel's voice! He's so good and I just met him

Good game. I haven't 100% done everything yet, but I did what I wanted, and was mostly satisfied with it. I don't got any notes, so any thoughts are off the top of my head.

As what is pretty much a newbie to the genre despite playing a few of them before, I had a wonderful time playing through this game to its many endings that I wanted to get. This is the kind of dating sim I can get behind~

The characters (despite me turning voice off all the way as soon as I heard they had voices) felt real in what dialogue I internalized, which lead to the good and bad moments getting to me more. I noticed how much I was laughing, getting flustered, and having my nerves shake me to my core. The queer experience is very much realized, as the characters aren't afraid to talk about their experiences with it, which, considering that real people wrote those, makes me feel like I'm not alone in the specific hardships I, and many people experience. Repurpose is the kind of game that will have you care about what happens, so much so that I would make a save at any choice I didn't feel confident in, so that the digital words on my screen wouldn't get mad at me.

The ability to choose your pronouns and gender, and have them actually matter is wonderful to see, as someone who doesn't often fit into the options most games have. Yes, I do get gender envy from cherry, this game knows me too well.

That isn't to say this game isn't without faults, though. I do actually remember a few of the problems I have with the game, but they're actually pretty minor.

First up: on my first playthrough, I did what I myself would've done given the choices offered to me, and ended up with a neutral ending. I didn't know this, since the little "NAME - X ending" thing that pops up is as tiny as the chapter thing in the same place, and doesn't stay long. Guess who had to replay that sequence to progress? Me! Thank cherry for the skip button.

Secondly: with the specific ending I got on my first playthrough (Kalei neutral), I was genuinely surprised when the credits started rolling. It didn't expect it to just... end like that. After playing through the other stuff, it kinda felt like a minor stepping stone to the "good stuff". Minor, but still something that rubbed me the wrong way for a bit.

Third: to anyone who wants to play this and get multiple endings: please don't make a save at a crucial moment that decides what path you will take. This is a dating sim, so it should be obvious when choices like that occur. If you do, then as far as I know, that ending either won't count if you do another on the same save, or you won't get the proper prompts if something new has shown. I don't know how this game works, so don't get on my case about this if you're reading, Eros, but this little issue made me replay three whole endings just to make them count, so be warned.

Fourth, and the most minor: I wanted to take one of the CGs for my own purposes (discord pfp lol), but uhhh. Finding them in the files was not possible for me, so now my little screenshot has an "activate windows" in the corner. If it were possible, I'd love if all the CGs were accessible easily in the files, especially considering that they absolutely exist somewhere, seeing as the "images.rpy" has what seems to be file paths in it. Not too big an issue, though, so don't fret over pleasing specifically me for this. (Also this is kinda me asking permission to use those cherry CGs as my discord pfp, teehee). Disclaimer: I used the itch.io release download for this, as I didn't know it was on steam before I got it. Maybe that changes some files around.

Fifth, and certainly not least: as a card game nerd, I can't help but feel ashamed that my character would be so disgusted by the thought of touching a playing card. It's only kinda justified when I realize that the only game people play in the afterlife is Essence. I'm more of a "King of Games" enjoyer, myself.

All in all, I think Repurpose is a good game to try out, and currently goes for the equivalent of, say, 2 cents Canadian if you buy the bundle going on right now. I'm excited to see what more the developers have in store for the game, and I hope any new enjoyers can feel the same.

As a final rating, I'd give it a "Save to make sure I choose the right path so this attractive angel will like me" out of ten.

Okay..... What exactly is the Michaelmode? Written on Faye and cher walk through.

(+1)(-1)

it's when you play as the game curator's own MC, Michael! You unlock this when you enter the name "Michael" and for gender "nonbinary". It gives a little extra dialogue that's unique to that character.

(+4)

just started the game, my biggest issue with it is that (at least at the beginning) the bgm is very sparse if nonexistent for very long periods of time. that with the combo of mostly quiet dialogue makes it a little hard for me to stay focused and immersed. i don't know if this is something the devs would consider or if the game is still being supported, but even a loop of the bg music i heard for... maybe a minute, near where ramon and kalei were talking, would be welcome.


besides that, a nitpick, kalei has somewhat inconsistent spelling of his pronunciation of thorn, at times it is stylized as "de, dat" and similar, and in others it is "the, that" and such. coming from a language where th/d/t are often equalized by its speakers, it is a little distracting, but not a big deal overall, just something i found interesting.

i think i'll try finding some music of my own to put in the bg until it becomes more consistent. to the devs: great work, and i wish you luck with current and future projects

(+1)(-1)

wonderful game !! <3

(+4)(-38)

that feel when a guy makes a game where every single thing in it would get the creator executed in the country he supports over the country that wouldn't kill him

(+17)(-1)

shut up omg. israel wouldnt support us either. its not about whether or not palestine is lgbt accepting: its about the fact thousands of people are being killed. a whole ass genocide is happening. you dont need to be accepted by people to support the fact they deserve to live. not to mention theres lgbt people in palestine too; but thats not what important. whats important is stopping the genocide and sending relief/help to the people

(1 edit) (+2)(-19)

can't remember the last time Israel threw gay people off roofs. or dragged them behind motorbikes until they died. or punished being gay with ten years imprisonment, or stole relief funds and water pipes to make missiles. all things Palestine has done. Palestine also doesn't have gay nightclubs or pride parades, Israel does.

If a culture actively tries to kill me, my family, and my friends, then that culture deserves to disappear, whether the followers of that savage culture learn to abandon it or are destroyed is up to them, just as its up to you to let wolfs into your sheep den because you think the shepherds are too harsh.

(+13)(-1)

cant remember when israel killed gay people? guess the fuck what! theyre doing it NOW. There are queer palestians; there are queer people everywhere. THOSE queer people are being slaughtered by Israel, you fucking bootlicker. It's not the culture that is the problem- there is no inherently "savage" culture. You're just a racist bigot

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

Just say you're a racist POS who thinks that little innocent babies deserve to die and move on. Israel is acting like n@zis 2.0.

(+1)(-3)

"Note: Steam key not included in Palestinian Relief Bundle" 

BUT WHY. I'm gutted.

(-6)

Yeah, scamazed...

(+2)

Based God

What age rating would you give your game? 16+?

Its technically i believe a 16+ but I prefer if only 18 and up players play

Ah, okay! Thanks!

(-13)

Punching down, I see.

I've had a bit of a problem with Noel's routes. So, I did a reset of the game I'd already had where I completed almost everyone's good neutral and bad endings, and I'm trying to get that progress again. However, whenever I go through Noel's route, I can only get neutral or good. I will choose every option that either gives me no points or makes me lose points, but it will still send me to the neutral route. I'm just a bit confused since I know I've reached Noel's bad ending before I reset. 

(+1)

Omg this game is so good, made me realize how gay I am lol

(+2)

this game is amazing! is there any plans for a part 3?

(+5)

yep! currently working on it! no release date yet tho

how do i can reset the game? i keep trying since i want to change my character's name but i don't find a way 

(+2)

This game is fire !! I'm waiting for the part 3 !!!!!!!

PS : I know that Dominion is a redflag but i'm a bull, please I want to date him so much aaaaaaaaaaargh

A refreshing, heart-felt, and wonderful story detailing a lovely retelling of heaven, hell and the spaces in between. The best word I could use for the visual novel is sincere, I went in not expecting much and was blown away by the thought and craft put into this. Every character has a rich story and arc that will leave you engaged and at some times blown away. I am very impressed with what this studio was able to put together.

Despite a few technical errors, small things like typos, and a few lines not having the absolute best delivery, it was a great read. I have to really give credit to the voice actors who gave very strong deliveries, especially for dramatic and heavier moments. DJ Roadkill's voice actor did some absolutely great anger, yelling and screaming lines. As did Noel's VN! The inclusion also felt like a breath of fresh air in terms of how it was executed. It didn't feel like the characters were tokens, rather real people who were diverse in real ways, a great reflection of people in our actual world. DJ Roadkill's route has to be my favorite, followed by Irene's.

In terms of art, character sprites was well done, my only complaint would be that I feel like the background shots could've gotten a bit more love. The delivery of the text itself was also well utilized, stuttering or speeding up rapidly to reflect the character's tone. I would say that while the music was fine overall, more dynamic tracks would really help during climaxes of certain routes.

I echo some of the concerns of other people, there are some coding and technical errors that should be addressed in order to help make this a better experience.

Overall I really enjoyed my time reading this and I'm looking forward to more work from this team.

Thank you

This game was amazing! it literally subverted my expectations, this was such a dope ass dating sim. AHH! I can't stop raving about the ending, it was built up so perfectly - it had me screaming!

(+1)(-8)

Is there anyway you could make a free version of the full game..

(+1)

Hey there! I'm testing out the demo before buying the game first. I like it so far but I made a mistake when choosing my gender identity, and want to change it. How exactly do you reset the game in the main menu? I couldn't find the option. Is it only for the full game?

(+1)

This is the best! I love this game!
I can't believe this but it seems like Noel's #1 place in my heart might be threatened. Cherubim jus came in and I just love them so effing much!
Now about that ending... it got me screaming. When is part 3 coming out? At least tell me the month or if it's this year😭

(+2)

i find it really frustrating that you can't change your gender/name without restarting your progress :/ 

THIS

(+14)

LMFAOOO

I found an error, when I was trying to get Cherubim's bad ending, when puppet kills the MC and says how many loops the player has already done, the error "An exeption has occurred" appears.

is there a flowchart for cherubim’s route? i checked the flowchart walkthrough but couldn’t find anything for cherubim. 

Not yet! The creator of the walkthrough is still working on it!

I have a tip to help you with the route! Since you can rollback try clicking each option until you hear the chime for the good endings, I could probably fix a walkthrough for you if you need it :)

Will steam keys be back in stock?

I absolutely love this game and have had so much fun playing through all the different routes!! (Although the Cherubim one is hands down my favorite! Thank you so much for creating such a fun and enjoyable game and I'm counting down the days till part 3!! :D

[Slight Spoilers!] + Question

I’ve been playing through the character routes and I unlocked the Cherubim route. I love the Good Omens reference in there. Had me wheezing. Also is it an option to continue the game normally after their route? I kinda accidentally unlocked their route when trying for Kalei. I’m assuming it was unlocked through Lucifer’s?

once you complete it all the other paths should reopen!

Thank you! BTW I love you game a lot, I’m excited for more. I’m almost done with all of the good endings :)

Is it possible to change my characters name? I called myself Ariel and well, there is a character by that name, whom I only met in the third route I am playing. Since I do not want to delete my progress... Is it possible to rename the MC?

sorry but the only way to change your name is by resetting the game in the main menu!

Hello I brought this and can't find the steam key it says that there are none 😭.

hello! i added some more so try again now it should work!

Thank you so much it worked , Thank you again for a fast reply , take care and good karma

i REALLY want to buy this game on steam but the transaction has failed TWICE i hope i get my money back because i still dont have the game and my money still gone... but SOON i can romance them! hopefully!

(+2)

Just finished Part 2, I think I'm obsessed now. That was better than I ever could have expected and I'm so hyped for Part 3 holy shit

(1 edit)

Hello! i have a teensy problem, i bought the game yesterday after playing the demo which i enjoyed to the fullest but im struggling to try and romance faye, i dont know how to get onto her route and the guide did not help me at all, can someone help me here?

you have to get three good endings and go to the part in the prologue where it asks you where you want to go and a fourth option should be available 

Gahh! thank you so much! i got through lucis path and cheris, cannot WAIT for pt 3! 

happy to hear!!
