Hey! I loved the game! It was super unsettling so I loved to hate it! Great use of sounds, and loved the dialogue. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what else you make in the future.
Enjoyed the game. Got 2 different endings (well, technically more than two if you count slight variations in dialogue). Does anyone know if there is any additional stuff I might have missed?
Hello, I saw this game at the top of the Itch page for Horror games so I figure I try it out for the Month of Scares!! It's a great dating game and I seem to like Melissa more than a certain other visual novel dating sim character that starts with a M. By the way, this video has a guest editor, can you guess who it is?
PS: Bonus points for allowing me to use my FULL user name!! Not many games allow me to do that...
This is a really fun and interesting game. Visual novel game are one of my favorites. The story was cool! You did a great job on making the game. Hope you make more visual novel games. Here's a gameplay I recorded.
It was an interesting and fun game! The story was fun and well paced and how Melissa went insane no matter what added a nice twist, (Though I secretly wished that there was another ending where she wouldn't kill the main character or destroy the world and maybe be happy with the MC, but that just be me..) It was fun to play and great job on making the game!
I really loved your game! It was very well written and had minimal graphics, but enough story to keep the player engaged. Thank you so much for sharing it!
I played this for my YouTube- If you're interested in check it out then click here!
hii!! from what i understand you just download the zip, go to the 'my files' app , search for the file and just unzip it. an apk file will appear and you'll just have to tap it to install the game. then you can play :)
THE MELISSA VIRUS! I THOUGHT NOBODY KNEW ABOUT THAT! Well played..Well played. If it had a maximum 100 star rating,let's just say,I still wouldn't be satisfied. (sorry for my bad english,I'm from germany
I can't resist a bit of sentient digital Yandere, what can I say.
For serious though, the graphical style is very very cute, which given this is a visual novel is key - love all of Melissa's expressions.
The coolest part is absolutely the escalation of events in the true ending - a couple of steps further than most of these stories go for sure, and one that entertained me a lot.
I am in love with this game, it’s fun, well-written, well-paced and the story actually was surprising. Beautiful work. Melissa’s expressions are darling!
neh, couldn't really express myself with the options. liek i chose melissa because the first two things weren't accessible or something and, gah, just gonna say that i draw kind of well and, well, you know. cool graphics ig
The fact that you can't choose the other characters is part of the game and is a small joke on micro-transactions and such. Additionally, the limited expressions are also the main point of this game because that's the main trope of many dating sims.
I just compared it with that one vegetable game for NES (princess tomato or something (never played it but i know percy because of talkingtime)) instead of other dating sims (Only ever played DDLC and dropped it before it even got creepy lol)
And, also, replying to your first thing, it's just that it kind of bugged me how she liek judged me for something the game made me do. Makes me feel like I'm missing some characterization on the person who I'm controlling or something IDEK I just wanted to say that it felt kind of bad for the game to say I was lying about being an artist and gah idk gotta get ready for school may elaborate later (Or not; Just say so if not, please!)
It really helps to see this as a parody on dating sims, then it all makes sense. Because you usually get pre-chosen answers and you get enough info on what would be the right one to "unlock" the date. And this game asks what this feels like for the sim. I think it's a really smart horror game and it also works great as a parody.
I LOVE this game on SO MANY LEVELS! Graphics? AMAZING. Story? AMAZING! Made even better by the DDLC aspects it had! The soundtrack was perfect and I LOVE MELISSA's character! I cant wait for more! You should totally make a version with the other two - maybe where Melissa fights back?
And the Transendence vibes, where she takes over the internet!? GOD IT WAS PERFECT!
I havent finished editing the gameplay for it but I had to tell you how incredible it is! I'm OBSESSED

I am amazed at the simple but effective presentation. It lends itself well to the story being told, also I feel sorry for Melissa. Poor girl.
Plot twist of the year! Great game!

Are you using the engine Unity? Can you provide translated language versions?
Maybe you can provide open source code to try?

I laughed from the bottom of my heart... I made this mistake in "ときめきメモリアル".

HI! PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME

Great little trip into a retro game that... has serious consequences! Great job!
I always feel a bit bad for horror game developers when 90% of the game's comments are just people trying to advertise their Let's Play channel.
How do you know? It helps promoting the game.
Melissa is actually the name of a computer virus
