I WANT A GOOD ENDING LIKE WITH NO EATING THEIR HEARTS... I JUST WANT TO DATE ONE OF THEM ATLEAST 💔💔 I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH TO BREAK HEARTS, THIS REALLY NEEDS MORE ENDINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ANYTHING TO NOT BREAK OLLIE AND THEOS HEART 💔😭
Really needs more possible endings (Massive spoilers below)
I find the ending incredibly unsatisfying, and the "Twist" just made me want to stop playing completely. I love bad endings when there's a way around them, but it's just nothing here. Two proposed endings I have are:
Broken Hearts: Requires you to obtain Twyla's heart somehow so that when she attacks you you're able to fight back and can break hearts like you were planning to.
Sweet Hearts: If you do everything you can in "The Night Before" to try and mitigate their suffering, perhaps there can be some sort of good ending where vanilla can break no hearts without being stabbed by owl lady, maybe even going against their father.
Either of these endings would have been much more satisfying and interesting than what we got, which is just anticlimactic in an attempt to be "Surprising". Just because something's unexpected doesn't make it satisfying.
There was just... nothing interesting about it. I'm not a big fan of "And then this character was secretly evil the whole time", and it's not like the "evil" part of Vanilla even goes anywhere with Twyla deciding murder is epic
I REALLY LOVED THIS GAME! I finished this game for 2 days and I was really shocked by the plot twist at the end! it reallyyyy surprised me and I REALLY love it!!
Edit 2: After finishing the game, here's my review
SPOILERS
Wow. That was phenomenal. It was short and sweet, but that was incredible. That twist was such a shock, especially with Twyla, even though I had a gut feeling about her. But holy sh*t that was amazing.
Both this and Cemetery Mary sure fucked with my emotions and expectations
I got the bad ending on Cemetery Mary and got all sad over Crowven, then came here bc all I knew was that he was in the game, and I wanted to play something with the same characters that was a little more lighthearted?? Not what I expected but interesting!!!!
Omg listen i love you and i love the story, BUT THE ENDING WAS SO UNSATISFACTORYYYYY T---T I still enjoyed it lots! the plot twist was so big i was confused for a bit lol (longer than it should've taken) Overall amazing game!
the twist was cool but why build up to all of it and not have us do it? the whole game you had us getting all the hearts once we have the hearts you pulled the twist. but when we get to the party, we didn't even do it. there would've been many other ways to get different sorts of endings. not saying she had to let us go, but i would've appreciated something different, why give us different dialogues if the outcome is the same? it left me unsatisfied, but the game was good nontheless.
Goddammit, my heart snapped when that shit started, I can't fucking believe that! I'm honestly impressed, I often figure out the story of something long before it is revealed. You did good work! Even the little hits you dropped along the way in the story, that was super cool.
but also, what the fuck. JAXTER, MY BELOVED!!!!!! I'll never get to see an ending with him...
i kinda figured it was Twyla tho how she wanted us gone for a while and she went in the room and she some clue put it together as well :') hurt tho i really liked theo
a spoiler! since I have no friends to blabber this about!
I had first started off the game thinking it'd be like any other dumb romance game- BUT OH BOY I WAS WRONG.. it started and I thought the character designs were really pretty but while we progressed chapters I was trying to figure out who was the murder- but as we went on to mary's chapter I starting making an asshole rank and guess who ended up at the top? netina!-. I still thought it'd be a romance game but out of curiosity I'd read the comments and I started reading them and just thought they were lying because I'm just really dumb- as I progressed to Zapara's chapter, honestly I loved her character design! I thought it was pretty cute but when we got to the "night before" chapter was when I was greeted with confusion but since I didn't mind breaking their hearts I just did it with ease! but the prom night chapter was what broke me- like i was kinda excited to break their hearts (don't ask i just like bad endings)- but once i saw Tywla and her inviting Vanilla to a forest- i dunno it didn't seem right so i knew something would happen.. and i was right- like the way tywla had just did that made me wanna throw up but when i thought we'd get a bittersweet bad ending- APPARENTLY NOT?? THE WAY OUT OF NOWHERE- vanilla's dad comes just shook me so much and then once it ended! I loved the game! it was a cute yet sad rollercoaster of emotions!
Possible spoilers for Blackout Hospital, Cemetery Mary and this game.
I was in shock when the killer turned out to be Twyla and not Reginald since in every game I have played that Arcade made Reginald was usually the opposing force of the stories.
Wow. WOW. God damn it i never. This caught me off so badly holllllyyyyyy. I wish i could have actually eaten tho lmao, wish i could see what would have happened
Omg!! This is probably one of my favorites of your games!! I’m in the middle of the Reginald chapter rn and it’s amazing so far! (Twyla why must you force me to investigate after some of the dance?! What if someone asks me to dance with themmmm 😫)
I usually never comment on games, but wow. The twist caught me so off guard.
(spoilers below)
The mom we meet in the intermission I assume has already been eaten by the MC's dad, which is why she's so depressed. I thought that our MC's species were cannibals or smth but now I think when we "eat their hearts" we are just breaking them (making the person depressed) and thats sorta like our food. Anyway, I love the game.
Now imma go take a mental break because this game put me threw a roller-coaster for sure! honestly never seen anything as amazing as this, I play lots of dating's-sim's and horror, watch anime and horror so I thought I'd be prepare with the game- I don't really know how one can prepare for this, but I definitely loved this game and it's amazing for all!
Vanilla was our old name!! the character just decided to go by something new, like how at the start when the dad was on the phone he was surprised when they called us.
No, I don't think he ate us. :'] but the whole premise is basically that the MC part of a lineage that feeds off of hearts per say, they make "friends" only to use the things they(<-friend's) told the MC against to make so called "cracks" in their heart's I suppose? So that it's easier for the MC to eat. ^^ Though he(<-Dad) probably could've eaten us but I think even though they seem ruthless and in general crazy that they still care for their own blood. :} Oh and yea it seems the MC's real name is 'vanilla' they probably change it for every school they go to!
i came into this game thinking of your basic visual novel/dating sim game, right? i even figured out who i decided was the biggest asshole in the game before the ending...needless to say my opinion changed on who the asshole was from it being originally Netina, still a wonderful yet horrifying game that i wish would have multiple endings but even without those is still pretty good
it's way too funny when people think cemetery mary came before HFSH not in the lore timeline but like- in actual time this is the 2nd oldest game that arcadekitten made
a question: I've completed the game, and i want to restart it to show it to my friends, but it doesn't reset when i delete it and redownload it, how do you reset the game from all the way to the beginning? (for windows/pc)
Welp, that ending certainly was a surprise. It felt like my heart was breaking during these final chapters. Am lowkey glad that Twyla (love her!) nearly killed the MC and the dance wasn't ruined for other characters heh. Overall, great game with catchy music, nice art and delicious twist.
THE ENDING CAUGHT ME SO OFF GAURD- CAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE NAMES I USE ONLINE- But oml this was an AMAZING game and had me in shock for a while before I even played the last chapter. Not only that but the art style was great too, I also loved the frogs :>
Question, What if I wanted to experience this again from the beginning? I wanna show it to my friends, but I don't wanna spoil anything to them. How do I truly reset it?
HEY RICHIE so I maybe a lil too late but cut me some slack
I only know how to do on windows I don't know how different it is for apple users but uhhh:
Go into local disk C: than go into user than go into the file with your name and on top where it says user > blah blah type in \Appdata with the slash go into roaming and find RenPy and you should see the HFSH file just delete everything boot up the game and bam
Ok, so all the saves are gone now, but the title screen still says the thing that I won't mention cuz spoiler territory. How do I change the title screen back to normal?
One of the problems is this persistent file that pops up after closing the game.
3. yeah- if the persistent file pops up in the game folder then- yeah that is suppose to happen it's saving every move, if it pops up like open- then Idk what to tell you man :,)

Well you can't change JUST the name you gotta delete everything if your using Windows then follow this:

a question: I've completed the game, and i want to restart it to show it to my friends, but it doesn't reset when i delete it and redownload it, how do you reset the game from all the way to the beginning? (for windows/pc)
You gotta press Windows + R, type %appdata%, then scroll down to RenPy, then the game in question and delete everything in the folder
ohh ok, tyy
Im having the same problem with my mac. I went and deleted the files from the application folder but no luck.

HEY RICHIE so I maybe a lil too late but cut me some slack
I only know how to do on windows I don't know how different it is for apple users but uhhh:

Thanks a bunch. Don't worry, I play it on windows, so the help is much appreciated.
Ok, so all the saves are gone now, but the title screen still says the thing that I won't mention cuz spoiler territory. How do I change the title screen back to normal?
One of the problems is this persistent file that pops up after closing the game.
1. how old is the file downloaded game file?
2. maybe reinstall?
3. yeah- if the persistent file pops up in the game folder then- yeah that is suppose to happen it's saving every move, if it pops up like open- then Idk what to tell you man :,)
1. Idk how old, last time I played it was back in June of last year
2. I tried, didn't work.
3. It's fine. I'll be sure to figure it out somehow.
oh noooo D:> I'm sorry it didn't work :(
