As someone who's absolutely deprived of male yanderes from media, I can't help but be very grateful for you & your game's existence! I love both the shy and confident routes with their set of convos! Also, your code really helped me out with finding my way on Renpy's engine. Thank you very much for that.
Also, as someone with a habit of skipping lore dumps & preferring to go straight to the romance, imagine my (happy) surprise when I noticed that mc's lore was lightly explained to the player. Don't get me wrong, I love me some angsty lore but I don't want the writer shoving me with the game's entire plot at the start. Of course, this doesn't mean that you should completely ignore mc's backstory due to it being rather important to the plot in this particular game.
I just loved how you summarized it to a smaller degree, but not small enough for the player to forget it as an insignificant detail. And, despite mc not having a physical appearance yet in the demo, you could truly feel their personality shining through. I'm also glad that not only mc but male lead himself feels realistic.
Of course, the story has its hard-to-believe fictional parts, (for example male lead being the head of the student council, UN youth ambassador, leader of 2 clubs, etc.) though the character dept male lead has & his insanity sells the deal for me. All in all, loved it! Can't wait for the full version and right before the demo ended I was sooo interested on what was gonna happen next! Then it showed me the 'end of the demo' screen thing and it left me hanging like a Wattpad fanfic that hasn't been updated since 2013. Beautiful!
Also, please remember to take care of yourself, especially after carrying such a beauty of a game for us yandere lovers. Oh, and there's this small issue in the Windows demo. When I ask Liev about where he's from in the lunch scene, it shows me that 'an exception has occurred'. Though every other choice seems to work well for me. Again, thank you very much and I hope all goes well for you!! ^-^
:o What a long review! Not that I'm complaining, I absolutely love detailed comments! I really appreciate that you took the time to talk about my game like this!
I think the yandere genre definitely needs more guys, which is a big reason why I made this game in the first place! I'm happy that you enjoyed both routes, as I strove to make them as different as possible so that choices weren't just a one-off 'pick this, have one line of dialogue be different' thing. I'm glad that my code is helpful! Good luck on any Ren'py projects you may have going on :)
I definitely wanted to be able to flesh out my MC at the beginning, though I'm not a fan of huge exposition dumps where you learn their entire life story before the main game. I'm glad that you can see their personality shine through! In my opinion, a lot of yandere stories have pretty boring, predictable protagonists, so I wanted to avoid those clichés.
Yeah, I can see your point on that. At first glance, Liev really does seem too perfect/unrealistic to be true... but it was intentional, haha. I wanted people to think, "How could any sane person deal with all that?" Well...
Hehehe, I can relate to that. Those Wattpad fics are so addicting... and then BAM, the author hasn't updated in 9 years. But I'll do my best to make sure you aren't waiting for that long, oh gosh!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the concern... T_T And you take care of yourself too!
I'm sorry to hear about that! I'll have a look at my code and update the game to fix it.
Thank you so much for playing, and thank you again for all the feedback! <3
