AHHH I've been waiting for this since I played the original game in like 7th grade <33 so awesomee!!!!!!
Great game, *chefs kiss* love it.
Also, once I got all the endings I tried naming myself Kaori, Zoe and Chris. Akano's reaction to Kaori and Zoe is funny. And Chris saying, I'm Chris too, is also quite funny.
Thank you! I wondered if someone would try to name themselves the character names haha
You can name yourself Akano and get a response from him, too!
i absolutely loved the OG and now that this exists? IMMA DOWNLOAD IT!
OMGG I LOVED THIS!!!! I remember 5 years ago I was obsessed with Akano and was looking for information about him all over the internet lmao
I was so happy when I found out you made a remake of this game!! You did a great job <3
Ah thank you so much!! I'm glad you like the remake <3
not you sneak-dissing your old art 😪
OH MY GOD IT HAPPENED. I played the original years ago and was absolutely obsessed. I already got about 4-5 endings already and am planning on figuring out how to get the others on my own. I'm so happy! It looks amazing so far, and seeing Akano again in this art style made me so happy.
OK IM BACK I GOT ALL THE ENDINGS. I'm absolutely in love with this remake what? Ngl i miss Alva but i LOVED the new endings. They were all amazing but the fresh start and understanding eachother endings? GOD. I could sing praises of this game for hours on end honestly. This is amazing! I'm so glad I got to see this return.
Is that Alva in the diner sequence with Chris and Akano, or am i going insane?
I'm so happy you enjoyed the remake!!
Yes, Alva is sat in the diner as a little easter egg :] Akano seems to mention her in the "hated you" ending!
I had a guess when we first go to the alley that this is probably a "Boyfriend to death" beginning or smth. 😭
I guessed right! a collection of deaths in the ending notes looks like it too, this is so exciting though. Tonally love it<3
Makes more sense than being KO'd in the busy street haha
definitely! I meant the actual torture part, it just gives off similar vibes for me
im sorry but i have a question whos alva i saw she was like a demon in the other game so is she like akanos demon gf or something i never understood who she was
Yeah that's right, I erased her from the remake to give the player more ending options
oh wow can't believe i got that right thanks for the response though
I have a windows, and I found when I tried to download the windows version my computer detected a virus. I don't know if this is just my computer, but I just wanted to make you aware. :)
It's because it's an unknown application, common with indie games like these. Just ignore :]
I found another spelling mistake. When you’re looking at the polaroid of Akano and Kaori, “but one has been nearly completed burned out.” You must’ve meant to say completely instead of completed. You could also use the word ‘burnt’ instead of burned, that’s up to you. :]
Thank you! This is fixed along with other issues with the previous build.
The game is nice although some scenes are unsettling.
Thanks for recording your playthrough!!
This game is genuinely unsettling and I love it, idk what it is maybe the sound effects or the art, but it really managed to make me feel uncomfortable especially in the endings where you die, the story was also really nice and I loved the variety of endings, there are so many so even small dialogue choices can really effect your ending and they all feel really unique. I also loved the little quick time events the first one genuinely kinda scared me because it was so unexpected! Honestly this was just a really great game and it really managed to draw me in!
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you liked it :]
NO FREAKING WAY!!!
very nice playthrough!
Thank you so much for recording your playthrough!! The CG thing turned out to be a bug with the gallery page, you did see everything! This should be fixed now in a recent build.
*FUCKING GRABS YOU AND SHAKES YOU AROUND* I LOVE IT SO MUCH YOUR ART IS SO GOOD AND I LOVE YOUR GAME GOOD JOB!!!
LOLOL THANK U!!
spelling problem I noticed that you probably don’t give a shit about: when akano asks if he can sit and chat with you, quiet is spelled as ‘quite’. (not criticism at all, just letting you know so other people won’t have to acknowledge it.)
Ah damn!! The kind a spellchecker wouldn't catch. Thank you for this, the issue should now be fixed in new builds.
DUDE I CANT WAIT TO FINISH THIS
IM SO EXITED I LOVED THE FIRST GAME SO SO SO MUCH I CANT WAIT TO FINISH THIS ONE
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOAAAA! THE NOSTALGIA IS CRAZY. HOLY GUACAMOLE
Hello there! when I downloaded and launched the game it disappeared shortly after starting, and the file vanished from my system. To make matters worse, my laptop is now detecting a virus. I hope this can be addressed, as I was looking forward to enjoying this game.
It sounds like your antivirus software falsely flagged the game. This is common with games made in the Ren'Py engine by indie developers. I can confirm that others have managed to play the game without issue, seems you've just been unlucky :[ You may need to mark the file as a trusted source with your antivirus, or temporarily disable it to run the game. Sorry about this!
thank you so much for your help! I loved the game :D
FIRST WOOHOO
Thank you for your support!
