10/10

Such a heartbreak. I KNEW I was going to cry and did I bawl. It is just so heart wrenching and you can clearly feel the love they had for one another. I didn't think he would know you were going back in time, but when there was slight changes and the fact he always somehow was fated with you, I knew he must have some slight recollection.  The time when they met again even though you were avoiding him? The fact he wrote a song about missing someone he never missed...god it's unbearable to see them yearn for each other but know that it was not meant to be.

The grief felt throughout this was so real. A rollercoaster of emotions no matter how many times he is lost because no matter how many time their ten years are gone through, the loss is still so fresh. 

What he did telling her to move on. That was such a sweet, painful letter. I am so curious what his emotions or his POV would be like when he realizes the cycles, the inevitable death, and having to watch someone he love fall into grief over and over again and tearing themselves apart. 

I hope they're happy in another life :(

I just played and omg this is so hilarious! I never once thought in my life I want to be a microwave

I'm stuck at this part as well! Are there any hints to minigame?

SPOILER

I got the four objects but same as abovehave no idea about the password for Charles's last painting

OK first of all OMG?!? The plot for this game was soo good! It's honestly like a dream with all these dark troupes haha. Thank you to the development team! This game is an absolute gem! The art was so pretty and the writing!! Even though the mini games literally confused the heck out of me, it was manageable! I realized I have no idea who to talk to about my thoughts about the game so here is my review and thoughts all dumped! 

I played as she/her and the female player so I'll be using those pronouns.

Idk if it was programing error but I did notice sometimes the textbox was just blank? Idk if that was intended or an actually error.

SPOILERS!!!!

I played Dennis --> Johnathan --> Charles

Honestly Dennis hooked me in the game. The plot was so interesting and a the player's thoughts about wanting to end her life? Honestly could relate to it so much. 

Anyway I felt like Dennis was the MOST normal out of everyone. He was a little on the cooler side, not that talkative, but his actions spoke LOUD. It was clear he was interested in the player and didn't want to complete his job as a hitman. I loved how player's personality became firm as she wanted to go with him to get revenge together. She wanted him to use her as a chess piece to ruin Kingston and Bianchi. I kind of skimmed through his bad ending, but got the good ending the first time and I am so happy for them. They were able to find a happy ending and just move on in life together. Also Vivienne was so badass I wish she was also there in the other routes. Overall, Dennis felt like a knight troupe to me. 

Johnathan was next. Ngl you had me at controlling stepbrother. I totally love the whole obsessed, you are mine troupe buttt he was pretty controlling so that was like meh but totally perfect for this game! I totally love how he and player were playing mind games like they were just using each other. I also love how the story progressed. Initially player is disgusted with him and rightfully so. Then he confesses to her and she's like what? This entire time he wasn't looking down on them but he loved her in his own possessive way? The fact she decides on full revenge against her family by using Johnathan was amazing. Like I was rooting for the player the entire time. I love the option for bad vs good ending we get to ultimately decide as the player, do we choose to stay or not? That was such a good last choice. One of my favorite part is when he shows her his collection of items! Player KNOWS he sees them as some sort of object in his on twisted perspective of love, but they tell him they SEE him and accepts him. Two twisted, broken people meeting? That's the beauty in these dark themes! I love the fact that he provided what player needed and they took it willingly. I also really liked how the good ending felt like a good ending like they were satisfied with their life. 

Charles. Idk if he could top Johnathan for me, like yes, I really like his gentleman personality. He really is like a prince charming type of troupe. However, I only really enjoyed his route because of the plot ie. the truth behind what happened to Daniel. Everything else with how player started to stay with him and how he acted was sweet but fake. Once I played through the ending and the hidden ending I knew why it felt like there was no romance between them. And honestly I didn't like that part at all. In Dennis and Johnathan's route it was reading a story of 2 individuals that somehow fit each other like a broken puzzle but with Charles, I felt unsatisfied by the ending. It felt like a one sided love story with him being the mastermind of the chess board the entire time. I wish there was more like player ripping his facade or him being somewhat broken or showing even a glimpse of his true self. Gia mentioned he was a puppeteer and had layers of masks hiding his true self which I guess we saw in the hidden ending but it didn't feel like romance to me. It made me sad to think that after going through his route, everything that he did was fake. I also only did 2 routes for him I think? Was there another one? I got the route where player realizes he's being super kind to a new sculpture and the hidden ending. 

I'd rate the plot as Johnathan > Dennis > Charles

When I started the plot was intriguing and I wanted to know more about the player, about the characters, and all the baggage they held. I felt for Charle's background, his story, but it felt like for some reason, there is just a plot hole. The other routes had good endings that felt like okay player can actually move forward even if it's not on a good path and live with their partner. With Charle's it left suspicion. Dennis gave player freedom. Johnathan gave player a glided cage, but one where he showed he was totally obsessed with her and only her to the point where she could call the shots. Charles? He was another cage, but not one crafted for her but for him to watch his latest project. 

I honestly have so much more to say and would love to ramble on about the plotline and hear others' thoughts but yeah amazing job! Such a good game. I haven't binged a game in such a long time. 

I play a bunch of visual novels/otome games all the time and yandere-ish generes are always my favorites! 
I absolutely love the whole premise of the game and it felt so short...but I loved how there wasn't too many plot holes with the game.

If there are ever any plans in the future for a continuation of the game story or DLC I would be so down to purchase.

Elijah honestly grew on me. ;-;

I loved the good end so much. The other endings were interesting but it didn't feel like the plot was explained thoroughly. I love how we were able to encourage Elijah to make changes in his life so he can continue to live and look forward. Only thing is I wish there was more- like player connecting with Elijah again. He was obsessive but it wasn't too crazy and I wish there was a happy ending for the two of them. Good end felt too bittersweet for me but the connection with Noah's Ark and the Raven fit too perfectly... 

Loved the premise of the story!

Tried going through a bunch of the choices and thought they were all really thought out well. It was also nice to have more options in terms of somewhat altering the player's attitude towards Lester. I actually really love being able to choose kinder choices. The crazy one is also super fun.

The story was definitely immersive and suspenseful! Lester is a huge mystery and I just want to know more like did he really kill someone? What happened with his ex? 

I really like learning about Lester's personality and how it's clear he has trauma and can be distrustful of the player even when she outright tells him she's crazy for him.

Only bummer was I felt it was too short like as I played through there was only more and more questions. I'm assuming the game is ongoing? 

Curious if the player is going to be a little more specific ie. does she have friend and family? Will her history play a background in interacting with Lester? 

Also the minigames were interesting and a nice touch! Thank you for making the game and putting so much effort in adding more interactions throughout the game! Can't wait for the bath scene!
