SPOILERS BELOW

Hi! Thanks for replying and I hope you are staying safe as well. I am quite happy that u answered my queries and cleared most of my confusion about the game's plot line. As I said earlier the game's plotline is quite rich but the narrative was coming in bits and pieces which made the story more atmospheric but the drawback was it does create a lot of confusion. I think if the writing style is more polished and fine tuned then the delivery will be more impactful and enriching. I do feel u should have explored more on the backstories so that we could have understood the plot better and the characters and their motivations as well, especially Isaac *coughs* the most controversial one and also the OG MC and Shiro, it would have made the story more enriching. When I read through ur reply I realised u have indeed dropped hints here n there regarding isaac going insane with his experiments about altering the personality of MC and also about past kuros in other routes but I think it would have been better if the story was little more explanatory about it so that it would have felt more enriching. I think it would have been interesting if there were side POV stories of important characters like kuro and isaac to get more 360 degrees view about the game which would have made the story more streamlined, however I do understand that would have been more difficult as such due to lack of resources but I hope u do consider it in future. Personal opinion but I really would have loved to see more of original kuro in main plotline as one of the protags as i felt a bit disconnected after spending so much time with original kuro and the 26 who was the mc in previous routes but they weren't given much showtime and the role was passed over to 339 and 13 (although I loved them a lot!). It would have been quite interesting if there was a section for character profiles haha like shiro, OG mc, isaac etc with ages and anything important, because u said shiro was quite older by the time game started and they had been living underground for many years which led to his organ failure, however xD the guy looked at best in 20's, even isaac who looks quite hot to be old *coughs* (although I am curious how old shiro and rest of the cast is?). As for the sprites,I do understand your dilemma because in detective route I had to convince myself that kuro is a guy and not some cute flat chested girl (thankgod for voice acting or else it would have been hard for me to think he was a guy), although guys other than kuro in other routes looked far more mature so I was wondering if u used some other softwares to create those sprites? I also, in fact kinda dig the idea the whole thing was nothing but a dream especially at the end when og mc is like it doesn't matter if it was a dream and u urself kinda confirmed it with entire solipsism concept. As I said earlier, I was more than ready to see that after finishing secret route I would get a scenario change and find this was all nothing but a dream and confront that mysterious voice in the end. I really do want to see more of that mysterious guy that ur planning on creating.

Lastly i want to say despite the drawbacks i mentioned above i do feel that the game is great in its entirety as the storyline is very rich and deep and even though there r certain cliched parts but at the same time it wasnt cliched at all! I really loved the fact that u broke the stereotypes of otome genre and fleshed out kuro so well.  He was deranged but a balanced deranged where we can see he really is struggling not like completely weird and downright creepy like many other yandere mls we come across in other otomes. I personally feel if the drawbacks are taken care of then this game can be pegged as a commercial project with ease because it's really that good and has lots of potential for more fine tuning. I really do hope that maybe someday in future u think of releasing this game with polished artwork and sprites and more fine tuned storyline as a commercial one, I would be one of the first to buy it actually. I really look forward to your future projects because ur quite talented in ur story telling style and ur game making style is quite unique in itself and despite the lack of resources u did an amazing job. It was rough around the edges but I can just imagine how far u as a developer can go if provided with sufficient funds. I wish u luck with your future projects and see you growing further. I hope u advertise your work more because I do feel u deserve more recognition. All the best! And congrats on successful release.

PS: English isnt my first language so I am not sure if I was able to deliver my points properly but I hope you understand I was trying not to be too critical and even though u said ur fine with constructive criticism but I dont wanna hurt ur confidence so I hope u grow more in future and thanks again for this amazing game.

Hi! I especially made this account so that I could comment about this game and my god, I must say the game was quite mind boggling and till the end I was on the edge of my seat. It was so different from any other type of games I had played pertaining to this type of genre I.e. otome. Everytime i made any choices it was very hard to predict how the character interactions would be and everytime i would get anxious because i must say even the good choices would have a huge amount of angst to them before something good actually happens but that made this game even more than unique actually and it made me love it even more. Weirdly i digged the yandere ML a lot and i who usually avoids bad endings like plaque in any game secretly digged all those bad endings and enjoyed it immensely. They were very creative and fun to read. I loved princess route kuro the most for I found him the most sensible out of all kuros. I liked the fact that each character in the story had actual depth to them and lot of thought was put into constructing their character which makes us understand why kuro is the way he is. Although there are still some stuffs which I am a bit confused about and I want to ask about in the spoiler section below.

SPOILERS 

Firstly I want to ask what happened to the kuros of other routes? I read in one of the comments replies before that you had in mind that all the kuros appearing in other routes were one and the same. So I was wondering what happened to that kuro, was it 13 that we saw or someone else altogether. 

Secondly I felt kinda confused (although I may be a bit stupid to not have been able to catch it) that in order to create the ultimate weapon why was it necessary to run so many simulation trials as such and what was kuros role in that? I kinda get the fact the OG MC was designed biotechnologically to have those amazing super powers so her body became weaponized but I am still a bit lost about all those simulation trials and kuros role in it especially and why did shiro's organs stopped functioning? (my poor shiro!)

I feel there was lot of breaking of fourth wall right? I mean in the secret route even if we get some bad ends it would toggle up and my suspicions were confirmed especially after the true end. At first I thought that even the secret end was nothing more than some dream and after I am done with this route I will get some scenery change where I may finally confront the mysterious voice calling me anathema, i mean knowing this otome i felt it was highly likely but that was a v funny surprise. 

I really wanted to know more about the backstory of OG MC and shiro relationship and their dynamics with isaac, Raine and Lilly even in a brief backstory. That would have made me feel more attached to the og characters more because as someone else said I still keep on feeling that 339 and 13 r the true protags in my heart because of sheer amount of attachment I felt for them and their not so cute love story hehe.

Lastly i greatly enjoyed the game and i must say i am so so surprised that it was a solo project without any kickstarter backup and to top it all it's free! In my opinion the story is so well written that it could easily become a commercial project and I wouldn't mind purchasing it. However, my only problem is regarding the sprites where I would have preferred a more mature looking kuro than the feminine one and more polished art work but hey I ain't complaining, the story more than makes up for it and plus it's free! I am really very happy and grateful that u put out such an amazing story for all of us to enjoy and I can see lots of thought had gone into it. Although the narrative sometimes felt like it was coming in bits and pieces especially when truth was slowly coming over to surface but it was also great in it's own way, it gave an atmospheric feeling to it and kept on building up the suspense till the climax and must I say the voice acting was so amazing especially the sound effects for kissing scenes haha and the opening and ending themes were amazing! U really broke the stereotypes of otome genre and also the cliched storyline which I was kinda expecting like the mc travelling to different dimensions or something like that. Thanks once again for this amazing game and sorry if somewhere I came off as a bit critical in my comments.

I will kinda stop with this long comment now haha, but I would be very happy if my confusions can be cleared and keep on doing the good work as ur really v talented!
