Yeah I love what the current game is. (Alivia is definitely my fav character so far because of all the adorable stuff she does and says)
But yeah it's not just Lesson in love that went that psychological horror route, truth is a lie and sensei overnight also went that exact route. I think I've played more koikatsu vn games that went that route rather than ones that didn't.
That all said even if Perfect Pitch did or didn't go in some partially similar route I'd be fine with it either way. One thing this game already has over the alternatives for me personally is that I actually like all the different characters in this. The other games have multiple characters I just hold ctrl through all their scenes because I don't care for their characters at all but so far all the characters in this have diverse and unique charm to them that makes it fun to go through all their dialogue. I don't really care or look forward to the other games updating but I'm watching this one carefully because I want to see where it goes.
So cheers, can't wait to see where you take the game.
