i should probably wait until i finish the game to leave a comment, but i'll just consider this a mini-review for now and will edit later, because HOLY GOD DAMN THIS GAME IS AMAZING. omegaverse is such a creative trope that allows the author to go a million different directions depending on the story they want, and you definitely took advantage of this. it was very interesting to see a more in-depth analysis of sexism in a/b/o, and how it's a mirror to real life misogyny. to some, it may seem over the top with the discrimination, but i'm assuming the time period for this is 1800-1900s ish? so it makes sense. taking the era into account and combining it with animalistic instincts, and you're in for some really bigoted worldviews... it was infuriating to read the way that some of the characters talk about omegas, knowing that that's how some men think about women even today. but it was also refreshing to see that other alphas aren't like that. 

as much as i love a good damsel-in-distress situation, i also wish that aura is able to defend himself in the future without an alpha's help. maybe nor or esha could teach him the badass fighting skills they have? ;) that would be a good scene! and speaking of the twins... G O D. i just finished nor's route a few minutes ago, he was my second route. noah was my first, and you have no idea how difficult it was to choose who would go first between the two. i loooooove noah, but after playing with nor, he's undoubtedly my #1 favorite best boy!!! and just so sexy.... when he beat up that rapist asshole my heart was on fire <3 he 100% deserved that and i hope he pisses his pants again the next time he sees nor LOL. i was a little disappointed when i realized that esha doesn't show up in nor's route so far, though... i am a nasty person and was lowkey hoping for a threesome or something... i'm really curious about nor and esha's relationship, and why they had to move here in the first place. i'm curious about ALL the boys backgrounds!! julien is really worrying me, he seems so overworked and stressed all the time, give this boy a break ): does it have to do with the fact that he's overcompensating for being the only beta son in a family full of alphas...? and how about noah; is he a top student just because his family's reputation demands it?

another thing i'm curious about is the headmaster's connection to the theater, and what julien and st claire (sorry if that's not his name, i can't remember right now lol, but the omega teacher) are up to. the kid is so cute btw, if anything happens to him i will wage a war. i had little theories in my head about what the headmaster's deal is as i was playing but they're gone now... frustrating!! maybe i'll remember later.

and lastly, i love the little sideplot going on with the alpha and omega in the play (again, my terrible memory refuses to let me say their names D:)!! they're super sweet and i wish the best for them <3 i wonder if this really is just a sideplot or if it will have a bigger impact later on?

that's all i got for now, but wow, thank you so much for this. not only did you create a yaoi omegaverse game, an amazing achievement in itself, but you also created relationship options that aren't just alpha/omega. we love representation <3 (is it bad that i lowkey ship julien and noah...? they seem like they would totally hatefuck and it would be super hot. 10/10 would pay to watch.) OK enough degeneracy, i am here for the plot too i promise LOL. i'm super interested in learning more about the academy's dark secrets!! the headmaster recognizing aura was real suspicious... did he know his parents or something...? aura didn't go into great detail about them other than they abandoned him, so... hm. i could be totally off the mark here haha but just spitballing.

this turned out a lot longer than i expected whoops. i'm gonna go eat dinner now and then play more of this fantastic game!!!! :D 

edit: can’t believe i forgot to mention this, i am a fool. but /ugh/, all the boys are pretty or hot in one way or another, but nor really takes the god damn cake. i cannot believe i am thirsting over a drawing this hard. he has a gorgeous, pretty boy face, but he gives off such confident/top vibes... that combination is DEADLY. you’re going to put me into cardiac arrest.

I just finished all routes of what's completed of the game so far and it's great! I gotta say I didn't expect to be drawn into the mystery so much, but it's just super interesting and I've already started thinking up some theories of what's going on, although it's too soon to say anything for sure. I honestly think exploring the theater and discovering more about is my favorite aspect of the game.

I also noticed Cami isn't getting much love compared to the other love interests in the game and I just wanted to say that he's my favorite so far! Omega/omega is my favorite pairing as far as A/B/O dynamics, and unfortunately I don't come across it often, so I'm really glad you included it in your game. I love that he's super sweet but has a very sarcastic/sassy side to him as well, and his romance scene was just wonderful. Aside from Cami, I'm super interested in Laurent as well. I have a feeling he's not really a student and is tied to the theater somehow, and I keep wondering what exactly is going on with his secondary gender since Aura can't tell what it is. Super interested in finding out!

Anyway, lovely game so far. I'm looking forward to future updates!

I came across this game a week ago or so, and I absolutely loved the game design so I bought the bundle right away >.< I cannot wait to see the full result! Do you have already an idea to when you'll be able to update it? Also, congratulations on releasing Diamond Mirage, I think I'll buy it too! <3 

Hello, 

I just fell in love with these game , there was a time i was really into omegaverse, I read and wrote so much story and i love the universe you create for Mannequin Academy. 

I just have to say it was hard for me to have to have access of the route of Nor, and I was not expecting nor ready for the rape end I obtain first (And I play Diamond Mirage just before playing these game another rape scene was a little bit too much for me).  I just completed what we have for Nor route and i really love it, I just can't wait to have the whole route. His character and relationship his brother, I just want to know more of their story and the side character too. I usually do not really care for the intrigue more here just for the romance but I was really intrigued with everything happening in the school. I really like the teacher Artemis and can wait to know more about his story with his son and where does the new teacher fit in it. 

These little comment it's just to thanks you for the amazing work and a my thought after just playing one route still on work. 

(PS: Sorry for my english, it's not my first language. My comprehension skill is really good but expressing myself in english it's another things). 

Hi, I was finally able to purchase the game and I love it! Julien is my fave so far. 

Though Omegaverse is something I'm pretty neutral towards, the art really drew me to this game. Looking forward to future updates and a full release. 

Hi my name is Nyx and i have a couple of questions/suggestions(?). first off i just want to say i love the game, the scene between Aura and Cami was the most beautiful thing ive ever seen, but the SA scene (bad ending) was truly devastating... it would be cool if you guys could add in a bit more of an in-game warning or even like an option to disable that scene entirely so when they first get to the storage room a screen comes up saying that you got the bad ending so that ppl who are very disturbed by sexual violence dont have to worry about it.

Thanks for your time and thank you for making this game!

So when the last update came out I was... sort of feeling punched in the gut (sign of fantastic writing though for it to hit me so hard), so I wanted to give myself a long while to wait and go back to reread Nor's route. I had feelings on it, but I wanted to make sure it was what I really was feeling and not because I had bought the book recently, so had been enveloped in it for a while at that point. Nope. Still hit me even on a fresh read.

I am the kind of person who reads A/B/O and werewolf fiction because I love the concept of mates, and the one person meant for one person. I don't buy into poly/3-way relationships because I don't believe one person can be in love with 2 people equally. Nor and Esha's story was tragic and very beautifully written. I wasn't sure I'd be able to sympathize with their situation especially because it would negatively effect the PC. However, it was so well written that I really did feel for them.

I absolutely adore Aura, and I can't bear to see him in a situation where he spends the rest of his life making someone his number 1, and he will always be that person's number 2. Earlier in the story we see how painful he finds it when Nor essentially ignores him while talking to Esha because he feels like they are in a world all their own that he'll never be able to be a part of. Like it's actually heart wrenching for me. No matter what I don't see a way where he can ever match up with the twin thing, let alone the twin thing + the I've loved you almost my whole life thing. Like that's a mountain.

I am going to seriously hope that there are 2 endings to the Nor route. An 'I love him no matter what' ending and a 'Power bottom Omega Rockstar  I deserve more/better byyyyyeeeeeeeeeee' ending. Like just because he's an Omega he doesn't have to settle.

So I extra created me an itch.io account just for this game and I tell you it was quite troublesome to pay for it (since the payment methods here aren't my preferred ones), but in the end a friend gifted it to me and I'm so very happy for it.

So I have been playing a bit of this game today First thing I noticed for it being early access there is already A LOT of content. I played the game Red Embrace on Steam a few days ago, which was finished and much shorter than what I played today.

First I just chose what I thought were the best options which ended in a very bad ending for my Aura. I found it a bit hard to figure out how to avoid this bad ending, so I instead looked at the walkthrough. That's how I reached Nor's (and Esha's) story path. I like the both of them, however I really am kind of a jealous person xD so I found myself a little pouty throughout parts of it, but I think I can adjust to it. I felt like I was kinda going through the same emotions as Aura. Anyway ... Esha with long hair is so darn hot, can't blame Nor. They're both hot.

So I played what exists of their route and really liked it. After that I started Noah's route (yes going for the Alphas first) and it's really interesting so far, I wonder how that will continue, considering the physical and chemical changes what happened most likely will cause to Aura.

I kinda want to play the other routes, too, but it's 3am here and I'm getting tired, can't play them till after pentacost most likely.

So a few thoughts I have.

* It would be nice if there was a way to also skip dialogue, that is the same in different routes like the Storage Room scene with Oscar and Raymond, skip until actual new dialogue arrives.
* I noticed that the game is mainly written in First Person POV, which I find very immersive, but there are a few scenes written in Third Person, which kinda throws me out of that immersion.
* The artwork is absolutely beautiful.
* The writing is very good and at the same time not overly complicated, so it's easy to understand also for people who don't have English as their first language.
* I kinda wanna learn more about Gilbert (but then again I haven't played all routes yet). Will he turn out ot be a crazy stalker or is he just a guy that's a little bit odd and shy, but kind. Curious to find out.
* I have my assumptions and theories about the story :) Curious which ones will turn out to be true.
* Headmaster gives me the creeps, as does Mr. Crawford (but giving me the creeps in writing is a good thing :D)
* I love Mr. Clair and Mr. Chiaro :o I wish them all happiness in the world.
* Honestly also kinda hoping for a advanced toxic relationship storyline with Oscar ... just because I love bad endings at times and because I in the beginning without walkthrough only ever got the Oscar ending
* Cami deserves love, protect him (curious for his storyline, can't wait to have more time to play)
* and lastly, I saw that the last update was nearly a year ago. I hope you still continue working on this. I am a huge fan of Omegaverse stories and this is the only Omegaverse VN I found online and it's so good. I want to learn more about all the lovable and unlovable characters.

Thank you for making this and I wish you a wonderful day and a weekend that comes soon :)

I've seen that you have other project that your working on, but I noticed that this game hasn't been update in a year and was wondering if it has been dropped? I've really enjoyed it so far though!!
