Sorry for this I just wanna know if ten kodori gonna have a bonus route Im very sorry!
Ох, мне приятно что вы так подумали, но нет это не мое искусство. Возможно в недалёком будущем я этому делу посвящу время. Некоторые из моих друзей уже занимаются написанием своих стихотворений.
Progress is slowly coming along. A lot is being adjusted for this coming build, but at the same time, real life has been causing a few slowdowns. However, when the next build comes out, I'm certain people will enjoy.
Tatsuki, Juuichi, and Shin are done. I believe this update is taking awhile because they were working on Kounosuke next, and they completely reworked his route. They have a link under the heading "Project Development Status" with a spreadsheet showing the most progress of each route.

They got rid of them. They're going to be implemented in the game itself whenever they release the next update. But I don't expect that for quite a while considering it's been half a year since the previous one and they're a team of volunteers.
I was actually thinking the next one would drop relatively soon. I think it was supposed to be a significantly bigger update than the last couple times, and they were 3 and 4 months apart. 7 to 8 months seems about right.
Hi there! I am creating a collection of fully blind accessible games, and your game is listed under the "blind support tag". The word "blind" means different things to different people, and within that wide spectrum their are various levels of expertise with visual UI's. but as a fully blind gamer, I am wondering what features this game provides for those who can not see the screen at all. Do you have "screen reader" or "text to speech" support? Is your game fully playable with a keyboard or controller, rather than having to point the mouse at buttons on the interface? If the answer to those questions is no, it would still be great to know what options are provided for those with less severe visual impairments, so that I might make them aware of your game's usability for them. Thank you for any information you can provide, it's very much appreciated! :)
By default, the Renpy engine has support for self voicing (press V on the keyboard at any time to activate it) and controller support for the vast majority of cases. In my experiences testing the controller support, there are one or two menus that don't play well with it and may need a mouse to navigate, but moment to moment gameplay is completely accessible with a controller.
Ah, thank you for the reply! Just a couple of follow on questions then if you have the time... :) You mentioned controller support but is their any keyboard support? Most severely blind people do not own controllers, as most games on consoles are not accessible, most of us exclusively use the keyboard, with some mouse users sprinkled throughout.
Also, does your game include any "alt text" labels on important images? Are visual indicators for control status' also shown in text? Both of those things are very important for a truly blind accessible game.
Definitely don't want to give the wrong idea here. I rely pretty heavily on the engine to do the heavy lifting for accessibility features, so there's no "alt text" labels or control status indicators. Keyboard support seems to function exactly the same as the gamepad support, meaning you can use arrow keys to navigate menus and press space bar to confirm/proceed to next dialogue, but certain menus are still going to require input from a mouse.
Gotcha, thanks for giving me the low down. :D I think I'd call this game partially blind accessible then. If their is some way you could note that in the description, I think it would help people. Thanks!
Heyyo! I downloaded the game three months prior only to play it yesterday, and gosh, how amazing it was—exactly how I remembered it from the original I played years ago. But still, there's one thing that bothers me. Why do all NSFW scenes in the game only show black bg?! (/QAQ)/ Do I have to meet certain conditions to unlock the CGs, or is it just simply not available in the game? It saddens me every time I play a specific route of a certain character, especially Ten Juuichi's route, only to find that I don't get to see those ~steamy~ scenes in the end after all that trouble I went through. His route is very special to me and will always have a special place in my heart. So, if there's anything I can do to unlock the CGs, please tell me. (I'm very desperate rn) But if there's nothing I can't do about it and the scenes will remain in black bg, then I understand. (T~T)
Btw, is Version 11.01 the last build of your game, or will there be more to come? (O3O)
Oh thank you so much for the info! Just got back from work and have been thinking about it all day. Now my soul can rest assured by knowing this. Thanks again for the reply, good stranger! \(>w<)/ <3
The sole reason every single team always want to do a Remake of Morenatsu, apart form the atrocious writting of the original and stuff that only works in Japan, is because Tora never had his route.
That will probably be the last route.
I don't remember if they are re-writting the story or using the original script (which I do remember is not the best story ever written) or if it's a mix of both, but I do know writting anything takes a long time.
Tora's route will be completed last. This is because his route intertwines with others, and certain conditions will need to be met in order to get his perfect ending.
I just finished reading through this once and I already feel like i need morenatsu re-revisited. The way game focuses on friendships and fun time actually makes romance especially touching, making you feel loved and supported (even though in reality lucky bastard is Hiroyuki). If it's anything this game inherited from original one, I can easily understand how Morenatsu inspired so many people. Maybe it'll become sort of inspiration for me, too.
It's a project I've been putting off for a very long time to play. And for nothing. The story of my acquaintance with Morenatsu began when I found stories about the characters that appear in the novel, I found walkthroughs, but I didn't play the game itself at the time. However, now I was interested in the story of Hiroyuki and his 9 friends, each with their own character traits and their own reason for being with Hiro.
After playing this interesting reimagining of the game, I decided to check out the original. And I will say this: the remake is better. Yes, it's true. I liked Homecoming better than the original. The reasons were as follows. Firstly, I didn't like the drawing of many of the characters in the original, such as the gaggle of Thor or Shun, who sometimes looked, to put it mildly, strange. Secondly, the plot. In the original you only have one interaction with your friends per day. However, many of the moments added in the remake reveal the characters more successfully, as was the case with Tatsuki, who was given more action than in the original. And besides that, Hiro is different. If you've played the novel, you know what I mean, no spoilers in this case. Let me just say that this change helped the game avoid problems with certain people.
Of course the game has a downside - sometimes the characters' relationship bar to the protagonist bugs if you rewind when you've chosen the wrong option, because then this bar will just stay and disappear. There are no sprites for many of the characters, but the second one is a nag on my part. But even with that, the game is gorgeous and I really hope it will be appreciated someday.
Hello. What about Kounosuke's route? I haven't heard anything about it at all. So, I want to ask you. Anyway, thank you for your work, this novel is great.
Kounosuke's route will be the next one to receive its full release, which should be next update. We don't have an ETA as to when this will be however, so we please ask for your patience.
I have to wonder why y'all didn't let us rename the protagonist like the original did when y'all also made it so you have the option to make him a furry for some reason. Mind you this isn't a complaint, just am curious.
That's because we didn't want to make him a cookie-cutter self-insert like the original Hiroyuki, because it led to him being bland and very inconsistent. Additionally, given that many of Hiroyuki's friends use nicknames, it would be too difficult to program it in properly if we allowed for changing of the name, it was decided not to allow him to be renamed.
Considering I’m posting sneak peeks of features I’ve added to it on my Twitter, am working on content, etc… yes, it’s totally dead.
That was sarcasm, just in case it wasn’t obvious. please bear in mind that we are releasing the rest of a character’s route with each update. In addition, this is a passion project that we’re working on in our free time, and Dzahn and Devilizer have Santa Lucia as the primary project, so that takes up time too.
what happened to the route guides? They were available just a week ago or so, now I can’t seem to find the images with choice helpers. Or are they being updated to match some new content?
ahh, ok. Had a feeling there was probably a good reason just was curious. Thank you all for your hard work! Wish I had experience relevant to helping somehow, but.. ah well.
I've only done one route so far (Shin), but everything is just so well done! Usually I pick things like this up and put them down after getting bored, but I genuinely can't wait to explore more of the characters. Everyone is so distinct and unique, I'm really impressed despite it being in an incomplete state. I can tell a lot of love goes into this game - take care of yourselves!
Totally same. And it feels like we get to connect witb the characters a bit more than the original game. Or at least a little differently. Have enjoyed both versions
They have the link to the progress chart above, right before the "route guides" heading. Shows you not just who's finished, but also how far along everyone is and what was in the last update.
and just a heads up, I just finally got to the nsfw scene for Tatsuki, but it seems the scenes are skipped for now.. so don’t be surprised if there’s not much nsfw type content yet, though the story itself for the route appears complete… Wonderful work so far!
They said this game is a work of volunteer, so naturally it won't be updated frequently... Plus they also said they won't be releasing the next build of Santa Lucia until May because of their break, so my guess is that the next build of Homecoming will only come after that... Hopefully Kounosuke's route can be finished in the next build, and I won't have to check this page everyday after that, lol.
At this point I will be absurdly glad if they finish the writting and then add cutscenes later on. Making a Visual NOvel is a tedious, long and super expensive project, art is not cheap, and since they are re-writting new stuff and making sure they can have two scenarios, one with a human and another with a fox for Hiro, that work is doubled. The same for artwork, if they will implement a system with Hiro as both human and fox, that will take a long time and it will be quite expensive, volunteer or not, the time they lose making this game, making assets for the game, etc, is taken away from their free time since they need money to survive. And any other projects they have with a Patreon or a Donation system or wathever, the money raised from those projects are to be used on these projects alone, so there's that.
Let us just be glad a team decied to actually make an effort and create a quality visual novel with a good visual artstyle that is close to what we had but at the same time, different so it's not the exact same game. Morenatsu had way too many problems they are trying their best to fix here. XD
Hey! Absolutely love the game! But a quick question I don’t know if it was the original version but on the text log it would show a mini side portraits of the characters who are speaking along with Hiroyuki, with this be implemented in? Loved seeing the little white fox when he spoke but now there is nothing showing him.
Also I wanted to see if there is a Patreon or something to get access to the NSFW drawings like for your other game. I would love to donate to aid this along and maybeeeeee see more of Torahiko’s nsfw side!
Over the past week or so, I've read through a lot of Homecoming, and I don’t know how to feel anymore. I never read the original Morenatsu, so this was my first introduction. I started with Shun's route a few weeks ago, but I ended up putting it on hold due to life issues. I just came back and decided I wanted to read through Tarou's route. I can't wait for more of him. He just has a personality that meshes really well for me. I also kinda have a thing for the smaller, more timid type. Them and Shin fit my type pretty much perfectly.
I wanted to read a finished route, so I immediately started on Shin's route next. I started it this morning and just finished it maybe ten minutes ago. I just kinda layed in bed staring at the ceiling after finishing. I know you said the goal of this project was to steer the story in the direction of hope, and I think Shin's story is a beautiful narrative about hope. To some degree, I'm left feeling heartbroken. (Bitterseeet hits me a lot harder than it probably should) That being said, even with the news about his health, I'm left excited about the future Hiro and Shin have together. The little scene of them texting each other after the credits just about made me cry.
I just want to thank you all for the work you do. These are stories I won't soon forget. I'm incredibly excited to see what the future holds for the rest of the husbandos.
I've gotta say, I didn't think my favorite character would be Kyouji. I think he's definitely the best written of the nine. His scenes are so well done. It's a shame he's so overlooked compared to everyone else. I guess that's what happens when you don't get a route/ aren't the cannon route. I'm really looking forward to how his route goes. Keep up the good work.
Kyouji's always been my favorite. His calm, collected manner and almost fatherly energy that he exudes despite the hardships it's implied he faces is very admirable. And he's insightful and adorable to boot. I just want him to get some sleep 😔
Something I would like to say about the NSFW at least from my experience.
There are no explicit nudity sprites (the no clothe sprites have no genitals), and the sex scene with shin has no CGI, it's literally just a black screen with narration.
About the MC: There's also no sprite of the main character for some reason, human or not. Which is kinda fine but it would be nice to see how MC is even in just a scene. Also, in the original shin's route there's the kiss CGI that's an incredible moment, which is also lacking.
Actually the problem is that there's no CGI at all. When the characters are doing something different it's just said, not shown
Tap the words that say the settings cannot be changed. The game will go black, and the screen will flash green, which indicates NSFW has been activated. If you do it again, the screen will flash red to indicate that NSFW has been deactivated.
just finished Juiichi and Shin route, I wonder what will happen on Kouya's route will things get even more heated can't wait for Torahiko's reaction tho im guessing will be some fight or something can't wait also keep up the good work .
I'm pretty sure everyone here wants to play Torahiko's route together with the other two that never had a route before. And I'm sure as hell that they will release his route last. Especially since they are changing stuff, so the story is not exactly the same either.
Just wait, maybe in a year or two we'll have the stories done, and we still need the CGs too, which are expensive on their own XD
sad, thats okay though, im willing to wait if it does end up taking that long, ill just have to hope for soon, i did juuichi's route and having to reject torahiko broke my heart since i originally wanted to finish his route when i first started playing
No same! I originally wanted to do toras route but after finding out if wasn't completed I decided to do another route. When I say I almost cried having to reject Tora. Ugh, I cant wait for his route to be done!
Maybe I'm missing something, but why can you not select "I'll go" on Shin's route when you meet Kouya and the band at the shrine? I seem to remember playing that part out on another route or two.
Because you need to do an event for Kouya that shares a time slot with Shin (you need to meet with Kouya in the forest clearing and get guitar lessons).
I played this game pretty much since the day it arrived on Itch.Io and loved the feel. The backgrounds and interactions made it feel like Summer, the writing was really nice and relatable, even for a person that never played Morenatsu. Here is the problem tho: while reading Tatsukis route i was... weirded out from the game? I loved Tatsuki. He was my Favourite Character! He had a very nice but depressing reason for drinking around his friends. His respect towards his Dad was very relatable and his little project was cute (and kinda Ghibli Heartbreaking). Then the summer festival rolls around, he confeses to you and... you do the dirty behind a few bushes? as i said, his route weirded me out from the game, which is why i havent continued to read but this whole scene felt... so wrong. I have always read the MC as a more silent character, that could goof around with his friends but was more reserved but he instantly goes for this? "I love you, lets do it" is all it took for the MC to just go with it? Of course if every route was "Friendship, Confession, kiss, Date, Eventually dirty, Happy ending" it would be boring but the way this was written totally ruined a character i enjoyed reading about/talking to.
dont get me wrong, the characters of this game are written incredibly well, the story is amazing and relatable but if any of the devs read this, could they explain why? For me, it felt incredibly out of character, not for Tatsuki, he was pretty much Blackout drunk, but for the MC who just.... went with the flow so fast after a drunk man told him he loves him.
(Anyways love the game kissie kissie youre doing great guys, i hope it didnt sound insulting as it was just a general worry i had for a few weeks now)

Hello! May I ask?
Will Ten kodori gonna have a bonus route in the game I just wanna know if he's gonna have a bonus route cause if juuchi gonna reject hiroyuki then hiroyuki is gonna choose ten kodori because when I read the other morenatsu novel I can see after juuchi reject hiroyuki after that when he goes to the shrine he saw shun and ten and after he was done praying he keeps thinking about juuchi but he ignore him in he mind after that shun and ten walk hiroyuki home and after shun leave ten kodori stay for a little and talk to hiroyuki and talk that he was very good friend to shun after the conversation of hiroyuki ten kodori leaves after leaving ten kodori feels that he have feeling for hiroyuki and the last part they became lover that the bonus route
Sorry for this I just wanna know if ten kodori gonna have a bonus route Im very sorry!
If I recall correctly, they actually have a bonus route for Ten in the game. Getting it requires you to get one of the bad endings for Juuichi first.
Брошу в записках мысли
Вдруг их кто-нибудь найдёт?
Эта жизнь, как ледник
Успей кинуть в бокалы лёд
Свидание с тенью сожалений
Меня дома ждёт
И даже в вашем
Муравейнике я одинок
Ты лети, лети, лепесток
Cквозь запад на восток
Взмывая выше облаков
Найди хоть там покой
Я слышу: для меня поёт
Хрустальный небосвод
И вижу, будто сон
Твой полёт и их исход
Расти и процветай
Будет нелегко местами
Воля — стержень, он из стали
Разлетайся лепестками
Стань моими глазами
Дай надежду, подай знак
Собрав все силы в кулак
Я поборол свой страх
аплодисменты. 👏
Прошу прощения, в этот момент я искал утешения после нахлеста эмоций от данной новеллы, встретил его в этом отрывке песни и решил поделиться
оу, ничего.
а я подумал, что это стихотворение, написанное вами. х)
Ох, мне приятно что вы так подумали, но нет это не мое искусство. Возможно в недалёком будущем я этому делу посвящу время. Некоторые из моих друзей уже занимаются написанием своих стихотворений.
How's progress going on the new update cuz I'm excited
Progress is slowly coming along. A lot is being adjusted for this coming build, but at the same time, real life has been causing a few slowdowns. However, when the next build comes out, I'm certain people will enjoy.
Take your time! Slow steps does the job! Im looking forward to this upcoming update!!!
wait are there any fully done routes or are they all in development
Tatsuki, Juuichi, and Shin are done. I believe this update is taking awhile because they were working on Kounosuke next, and they completely reworked his route. They have a link under the heading "Project Development Status" with a spreadsheet showing the most progress of each route.
does it have all the original routes done at least?

Thank you, JTablian. 🤍🤍🤍
I cant find the "perfect route guides" from the page and the link. Somebody can help me?
They got rid of them. They're going to be implemented in the game itself whenever they release the next update. But I don't expect that for quite a while considering it's been half a year since the previous one and they're a team of volunteers.

There will be CGs, just not now... They will work on the CGs after all the characters' routes are finished.
And there're definitely more builds for this game (the next build will be Kounosuke's route)
Oh thank you so much for the info! Just got back from work and have been thinking about it all day. Now my soul can rest assured by knowing this. Thanks again for the reply, good stranger! \(>w<)/ <3
has "No Screen Flashes" as a setting.
this is officially the best game i've ever played.
Can we get at least one Tappei's scene? I simp him so hard
is tora's route complete
Of course not.
The sole reason every single team always want to do a Remake of Morenatsu, apart form the atrocious writting of the original and stuff that only works in Japan, is because Tora never had his route.

oh okay I did have a question about which routes are completed at the moment?
The current completed routes are Juuichi, Shin and Tatsuki. Kounosuke's route will be the next update.
oh okay thank you for telling me
Where can i see the routes guide?
Route guides have been removed from online as they require adjustments, but they will be made available in-game as of next build update.
I just finished reading through this once and I already feel like i need morenatsu re-revisited.

i wanna do all the routes and as i see it's almost finished i'm eager to discover the rest of the routes especialy kyouji and kouya
(btw maybe you will be happy to know you have a fan in france ^^)

Is this visual novel dead
Considering I’m posting sneak peeks of features I’ve added to it on my Twitter, am working on content, etc… yes, it’s totally dead.

Totally same. And it feels like we get to connect witb the characters a bit more than the original game. Or at least a little differently. Have enjoyed both versions
When will the vn update (just curious) And I really like your vn keep up the good work!
For some reason whenever I see shin I can help but hearing A Milli by Lil Wayne in my head and I fucking hate it why must I be this way
Wich routes are finished?
They have the link to the progress chart above, right before the "route guides" heading. Shows you not just who's finished, but also how far along everyone is and what was in the last update.
and just a heads up, I just finally got to the nsfw scene for Tatsuki, but it seems the scenes are skipped for now.. so don’t be surprised if there’s not much nsfw type content yet, though the story itself for the route appears complete… Wonderful work so far!
Does anyone know what year Ten Kodori was born?
1998 iirc
January 18, 1998. :)
Thanks!
Feels like this game is dead even though it's not. Wish it got worked on more frequently but I get why the other projects take priority
They said this game is a work of volunteer, so naturally it won't be updated frequently... Plus they also said they won't be releasing the next build of Santa Lucia until May because of their break, so my guess is that the next build of Homecoming will only come after that... Hopefully Kounosuke's route can be finished in the next build, and I won't have to check this page everyday after that, lol.
At this point I will be absurdly glad if they finish the writting and then add cutscenes later on. Making a Visual NOvel is a tedious, long and super expensive project, art is not cheap, and since they are re-writting new stuff and making sure they can have two scenarios, one with a human and another with a fox for Hiro, that work is doubled. The same for artwork, if they will implement a system with Hiro as both human and fox, that will take a long time and it will be quite expensive, volunteer or not, the time they lose making this game, making assets for the game, etc, is taken away from their free time since they need money to survive. And any other projects they have with a Patreon or a Donation system or wathever, the money raised from those projects are to be used on these projects alone, so there's that.
Let us just be glad a team decied to actually make an effort and create a quality visual novel with a good visual artstyle that is close to what we had but at the same time, different so it's not the exact same game. Morenatsu had way too many problems they are trying their best to fix here. XD
Agree. They've done quite a good job based on the original game.
This may be a little premature, but does the studio have any future works planned after the completion of this one?
They've a primary game they're working on, If you haven't played that yet. "Santa Lucia"
Hey! Absolutely love the game! But a quick question I don’t know if it was the original version but on the text log it would show a mini side portraits of the characters who are speaking along with Hiroyuki, with this be implemented in? Loved seeing the little white fox when he spoke but now there is nothing showing him.
Also I wanted to see if there is a Patreon or something to get access to the NSFW drawings like for your other game. I would love to donate to aid this along and maybeeeeee see more of Torahiko’s nsfw side!
Over the past week or so, I've read through a lot of Homecoming, and I don’t know how to feel anymore. I never read the original Morenatsu, so this was my first introduction. I started with Shun's route a few weeks ago, but I ended up putting it on hold due to life issues. I just came back and decided I wanted to read through Tarou's route. I can't wait for more of him. He just has a personality that meshes really well for me. I also kinda have a thing for the smaller, more timid type. Them and Shin fit my type pretty much perfectly.
I wanted to read a finished route, so I immediately started on Shin's route next. I started it this morning and just finished it maybe ten minutes ago. I just kinda layed in bed staring at the ceiling after finishing. I know you said the goal of this project was to steer the story in the direction of hope, and I think Shin's story is a beautiful narrative about hope. To some degree, I'm left feeling heartbroken. (Bitterseeet hits me a lot harder than it probably should) That being said, even with the news about his health, I'm left excited about the future Hiro and Shin have together. The little scene of them texting each other after the credits just about made me cry.
I just want to thank you all for the work you do. These are stories I won't soon forget. I'm incredibly excited to see what the future holds for the rest of the husbandos.
I've gotta say, I didn't think my favorite character would be Kyouji. I think he's definitely the best written of the nine. His scenes are so well done. It's a shame he's so overlooked compared to everyone else. I guess that's what happens when you don't get a route/ aren't the cannon route. I'm really looking forward to how his route goes. Keep up the good work.
Kyouji's always been my favorite. His calm, collected manner and almost fatherly energy that he exudes despite the hardships it's implied he faces is very admirable. And he's insightful and adorable to boot. I just want him to get some sleep 😔
Extraordinary work! Can't wait to see the rest of Kounosuke's route!
Something I would like to say about the NSFW at least from my experience.
There are no explicit nudity sprites (the no clothe sprites have no genitals), and the sex scene with shin has no CGI, it's literally just a black screen with narration.
About the MC: There's also no sprite of the main character for some reason, human or not. Which is kinda fine but it would be nice to see how MC is even in just a scene. Also, in the original shin's route there's the kiss CGI that's an incredible moment, which is also lacking.
Actually the problem is that there's no CGI at all. When the characters are doing something different it's just said, not shown
There will be, but CGs take a lot longer to make than sprites. We will likely be starting in CGs once we’ve got the important sprites implemented.
Does this game have sexual scenes or it just skips the sexual content? Because it just skips for me.
You need to go to the "censorship settings"(in "Preferences") and uncheck the "no adult content" botton to get sexual parts.
Tap the words that say the settings cannot be changed. The game will go black, and the screen will flash green, which indicates NSFW has been activated. If you do it again, the screen will flash red to indicate that NSFW has been deactivated.
just finished Juiichi and Shin route, I wonder what will happen on Kouya's route will things get even more heated can't wait for Torahiko's reaction tho im guessing will be some fight or something can't wait also keep up the good work .
How do you get Ten's route?
Finish Juuichi's route.
I did.
What do I do after I finish Juuichi's route?
You need to get his Bad Ending. Once you do, and the credits end, you will get a notification telling you that you have unlocked bonus content.
k, also is the sex scene in there, cause when I did it with Juuichi, it skip.
how do you get his bad route?
when will Torahiko's route be worked on next, I would love to see his finished!
Do you know the original morenatsu?
I'm pretty sure everyone here wants to play Torahiko's route together with the other two that never had a route before. And I'm sure as hell that they will release his route last. Especially since they are changing stuff, so the story is not exactly the same either.
Just wait, maybe in a year or two we'll have the stories done, and we still need the CGs too, which are expensive on their own XD
sad, thats okay though, im willing to wait if it does end up taking that long, ill just have to hope for soon, i did juuichi's route and having to reject torahiko broke my heart since i originally wanted to finish his route when i first started playing
No same! I originally wanted to do toras route but after finding out if wasn't completed I decided to do another route. When I say I almost cried having to reject Tora. Ugh, I cant wait for his route to be done!
Maybe I'm missing something, but why can you not select "I'll go" on Shin's route when you meet Kouya and the band at the shrine? I seem to remember playing that part out on another route or two.
Because you need to do an event for Kouya that shares a time slot with Shin (you need to meet with Kouya in the forest clearing and get guitar lessons).
okay this will spoiler Tatsukis Route.
I played this game pretty much since the day it arrived on Itch.Io and loved the feel. The backgrounds and interactions made it feel like Summer, the writing was really nice and relatable, even for a person that never played Morenatsu. Here is the problem tho: while reading Tatsukis route i was... weirded out from the game?
I loved Tatsuki. He was my Favourite Character! He had a very nice but depressing reason for drinking around his friends. His respect towards his Dad was very relatable and his little project was cute (and kinda Ghibli Heartbreaking). Then the summer festival rolls around, he confeses to you and... you do the dirty behind a few bushes? as i said, his route weirded me out from the game, which is why i havent continued to read but this whole scene felt... so wrong. I have always read the MC as a more silent character, that could goof around with his friends but was more reserved but he instantly goes for this? "I love you, lets do it" is all it took for the MC to just go with it? Of course if every route was "Friendship, Confession, kiss, Date, Eventually dirty, Happy ending" it would be boring but the way this was written totally ruined a character i enjoyed reading about/talking to.
dont get me wrong, the characters of this game are written incredibly well, the story is amazing and relatable but if any of the devs read this, could they explain why? For me, it felt incredibly out of character, not for Tatsuki, he was pretty much Blackout drunk, but for the MC who just.... went with the flow so fast after a drunk man told him he loves him.
(Anyways love the game kissie kissie youre doing great guys, i hope it didnt sound insulting as it was just a general worry i had for a few weeks now)
