This game was really fun! I really loved the '???' route but the princess and mage routes were close to my heart too. The Kuro in the mage route was my favourite yandere, but the soft fox yandere in the princess route was really lovely too. The school route was the shortest but I really loved the everyday feel and Lana really warmed my heart even though we couldn't have much screentime with her. I would have loved to see more of Shiro and the original MC/Anathema together, I really liked their story and wish that we could see more of their backstory. Shiro was so cool and I can see how strong his love was, and the good endings where we saw sneak peeks of him melted my heart - I just wanted to give a big hug to him. By the way, who is '???' and why are they always calling out for Anathema?

Glad you enjoyed it :3 And that's awesome that you liked the contrasting mage and princess route Kuros :D I really wanted there to be at least 1 softer, much calmer version of Kuro in there while still making sure he was a yandere, haha. I was worried that the whole princess route might come off as boring compared to the other routes though >.< so that's great you still had fun with it!
The student route is the first route I ever wrote for the game, which I guess is why it came out so much shorter than the others + is probably the worst written of them all >.< It's something I hope to improve on if/when I ever get around to remaking the game with new art and extra content :3 I'm glad you still liked that route though. Lana is kinda the friend I never had but wished I did while at school, haha. It certainly would've made life much easier to have someone like that around :3
Expanding on original MC's story is also something I'd like to do in the remake, perhaps through epilogues or flashbacks of some sort as well :3
I guess I should probably put a spoilers thing here to answer your last question x3
Spoilers
The character who calls out for Anathema is my 4th wall-breaking character who doesn't yet have an official name, but has been nicknamed Archie (short for Architect). So when the character is speaking to Anathema, rather than speaking to a character within the game, they are speaking to you, the player. You are Archie's 'Anathema' :3 The character also features briefly in one of my other games (Apartment No.9 GxB/otome version), and I hope to continue trickling bits of him into my projects as time goes on ^-^
Thanks so much for taking the time to play through the game and leave such a lovely comment :3
Omg so excited to see you reply!!! That makes sense, the school route was short but I really enjoyed it and wanted to see more of it. School!Kuro was the hottest one hahah imo except XXX was great too (trying to avoid spoiling their name). I would definitely love to see OG!MC story being expanded!

I loved the XXX route, it was so good and left me wondering so much about them and their LI. Like Shiro was amazing, I really thought I got his name when I had 4 letters, I was like SHION. But Shiro makes more sense lol, because Kuro vs. Shiro. Shiro shitting on Kuro and the clones hurt because they are copies but I can understand why he seems them as abominations or like fake copies, I can't imagine the pain of watching clones of your love being manipulated and hurt and just not having their memories of you? Would have broken me. But it's also why I really liked Shiro and god, he really did have a presence when he came. I could see the darker parts of him and his deep love too for MC, like what we see yandere!Kuro does when he just literally agrees to destroying the world with MC if that's what she wants and how much he loves her and will support any decision he made. I WAS SO ANGRY AT DAD THO, ALL THE MONSTER HE CREATED AND NEEDED TO BE DESTROYED, HE WAS THE CAUSE ARGHHGHKSDFHJS I wanted to flip at him so bad. I was like you hot and I had a crush on you but now screw you to pieces. Hehe thank you for sharing this game with us!
Omg, rambled so much and forgot about the Architect, ohh, that's so cool, I was reading his letter and him chasing us through games make so much sense now because Shiro can't do that. I've been meaning to play Apartment 9 so I am looking forward to seeing him there too (I shouldn't be but he's interesting hahahahahah).
I'm glad you still enjoyed that route :3 Yeah, hopefully, Ill manage to get there one day with a full remake! I really wanted to make a version with fem Kuros as well at some point, but it's so much work T_T I wish I could clone myself to work on different stuff at the same time, haha.

Yeah, Kuro and Shiro's names are a bit corny x3 but I couldn't help it, haha. I just figured it was perfect for them.
And yeah, Isaac is definitely one heck of a giant asshole xD He certainly deserves much more than a few slaps for all the trouble he caused everyone and the pain he put em all through!
Thanks so much again for playing :3 I really appreciate it!
