I feel like it is more of AI looking like the art style instead of the other way around. My only observation or "evidence" is how consistent the sprites are perfectly lining up with each other with the occasional human errors such as the neck at a different angle.
if AI were in use the sprites would be radically different, but the sprites show little to no change. The only way I can think of the art being this consistent but still AI is if human art was used beforehand to change the art style (ie. the current Studio Ghibli AI turning IRL images into the Ghibli style) or if a sprite were generated and then clothing articles were generated on top then edited (although I don't think that's possible without damaging the already generated sprite). But why go through all that work especially if the art was ready beforehand?
I honestly believe that all the art was drawn by a human, the change in style is most likely from constant refrenceing of the game mentioned (Metaphor: ReFantazio) as in Anselms full art I can see the creators original style peaking through. Anyway, this is my conclusion whether I'm right or wrong doesn't exactly matter to me I just wanted to share my own observations.
I adore games that can I can play multiple times and the story continues, so far Ive only seen 3 and none have disappointed! And the LI's!! I love them so much too. Sage is just adorable I could shake him around and pinch his cheeks, and Yasha's facial expressions give me the hebegebees- true insanity in those eyes fear. Im still making my way through all the routes but I'm excited to see what I'll get.
edit: ive finished almost all the routes but #9 I saw that the title was "meh he kinda deserved it" from the comments but I couldn't get to it 😭
some random things I wanna share: I thought sages voice felt familiar and when I took a peek at the VA it was the same one at "V" from killer chat! Along the lines of sound, the part when Sage picked up a sound outside the store I also heard it and thought my tinnitus was acting up LMAO. Lastly the first time I saw Yasha's expressions Instinctively covered my screen, I think it was the eyes and the wide all teeth smile (I got used to them though)
I can't seem to play it I think it's smt up with the Mac (is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.) since I tried with the original game too (which I've played before) If anyone knows what to do please send help :((
this is itch.io where indie games live. I can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that other small (hell maybe huge) devs are doing this as if this will stop anyone i mean- this game's cover art alone can draw in a lot of players (including me) I hope all the bot reviews get cleaned up soon :/
I went to. go on itch.io to find a game to play since homicipher wasn't opening on Steam... AND YOU SERVED ME THIS DELICIOUS MEAL??!?!?! spending the next couple of hours playing this game I've been waiting for hehe
same for me 1/7, 2/7, and 5/7 are locked and 3/3 for the first nsfw GC is also locked. I've tried changing from neutral to fem and masc along with genitalia but it didn't do anything, maybe I'm missing something- I'm not too sure. I'll probably try again, though.
I definitely like how it kept adding to the story as I kept re-playing! I've only seen one other game do that, so this game has 100% left an impression on me i love it!
the crosses out were just for the beginning of the game since they were crossing out the buttons to return to the main menu and save I think.
And I also felt the same at first when I read that Luke had the strawberry vape till I read the interview where he changed it since Barbara seemed to be having a problem with it so it was more of a way to get Barbara off his shoulders about vaping?
as soon as the diary came out I thought of the Mattel my password journal- my face LIT UPPP!! Anyway, I liked how in the end it acknowledges the fact that we tried to stop Barbara. And maybe it was just me, but I felt like she was unnecessarily hating on everyone? maybe it's because I personally would brush off the things that happen more easily, but I see where things went south. And I also really like the little insight when you type in the right words!!
I really enjoyed this game and the characters! at first I thought, "Oh they're all dead and this is like all fake" but nope i was wrong lmao and the fact that these are based on true stories adds a nice touch! As a side note, I'm still missing the extras on the middle bottom, if anyone knows how to get them, please tell me.
edit: i looked through the comment and i got it! also while i was shuffling through the comments i kept the game open while the bells were ringing till i noticed a sound change only to find the dead Satria scolding my ass i felt so bad after 😭😭
This is one of the VN's that made me shiver a little. at first I though, "oh a gory VN alright lets play." but then after playing through all possible choices then the special ending it was more unsettling then I thought, I don't wanna undermine your work but it reminded me to BTD- as in a gore game that went way beyond my expectations!
the special ending was really the final nail in the coffin, that ending made me shiver, covering the screen shiver lmao I'm no good with those eyes- I wish there was more lore or explanation to it though, the special ending gave a little inside look ig but I understand that this is just a small portion on the bigger picture.
anyways I'm excited to see where this will go especially with the other TBA characters I saw on your toy house assuming that they'll be part of the game. ill be watching for any updates woohoo!!
side note: noncon after gore ough sanitary issues my guy that's how you get a UTI /hj
lmao I finished playing the demo only to return to the page and find out that a new demo had just dropped- ig I'm diving back into this game for some more content hehe
This game by far has to be one- if not the best spooktober game I've played! I love the story so much and it quite literally grew on me... I went from "This is some cool shit" to "Hold on- wait a minute OMG? OH MY GOD???!" I'm a little sad that this is all we might get of these lovelies, but oh boy did they make a great impression!
Ya know maybe staying up super late is a good thing cause I got to play this game so early- anyways, Anselm is so adorable too rAHhgh he's making me want to shake him around.
I definitely think he has us trapped in his house somewhere and he's trying to make us think were In a hospital... only thing that's coming out of my sleep deprived brain.
Audibly gasped when i saw biomed science since I'll also be going into biomed- anyways im super excited to play this game and ngl im glad youve decided to wait to publish the whole game at once instead of in parts! Keep going and take your time, and good luck!!
I adored the demo so much- especially when I was able to explore, craft, and purchase things. Honestly, I was surprised to see that I was able to do all of that, I was used to the pick what you're going to say, and seeing where that takes you plus a sprinkle of mini games, its very refreshing! I plan to buy the full game soon (maybe the DLC to?!) after PayPal stops being such a donkey and rejecting my payments or there's another way to pay since playing on steam always causes me problems :( . I can't wait to continue playing it HEHhe
I got Lullaby first and ngl I got scared that there would be a jumpscare when the screen turned dark, but it was actually really sweet afterward- it was a lot more cuter than I expected it to be lmao
are you right in front of the food? the game is a little picky about the spot youre in when it comes to interacting with things, and if you even did that and still arent able to pick up the food then ive got nothing else. i guess you can fiddle around with the controls and see what'll happen
i had this problem to and after a bit of digging in the comments i found that if you open the game in your finder then drag the game itself (the Minecraft block thingy) to applications then open it it'll probably work
yea i shouldve worded it better but late nights are the only time im awake. assuming you're still stuck (or not dunno) you do need to press the arrow keys to "face" the thing before you press X. So like pressing the up arrow key while behind the cashier before you press X.
lmao im having the same problem i tried the mouse button, and z button, clicking on both side even the art itself but its not working at some point the game just started crashing on me to much so i gave up :(
im playing on mac and is anyone else struggling with the z/interaction key? ive had to retry the first waiter scene 3 times and i still cant clear it due to not being able to pick up the food no matter what i do. is there just something wrong with my mac?
edit: nvm i figured it out, apparently i needed to "face" the way of the dish before clicking z to pick it up
i love this game very much, its simple yet entertaining and i adore the art style! currently im trying to get the dogcat route after i got the true ending (which was SO CUTE?????) im having trouble figuring out how to survive the money issue after robbing the bank,... could i possibly get a hint? please im begging im deperate for that ending
