i feel like this is the upgraded version of "the diner", which i absolutely love them both. i love the artwork n akano real much, i just want to hug him, my lil babyy. thank u for ur hardwork, im looking forward for ur next masterpiece in the future!!!
For some reason, the game won't properly download on my Macbook, the demo will download and expand but the actual application won't allow me to run it? Is there any reason that could be?? or is it just because my mac isn't compatible..
Are you getting an error log with RenPy? Or is the application just not opening at all?
If it won't open, that sounds like it might be your Mac's antivirus stopping the application! This is quite a common issue. Try some guides online for running RenPy games with Mac and see if that fixes it :]
I've never had a problem with most ren'py games before , so no it's not an error log and I've played a lot of visual novels, my anti-virus never really flags them as threats but it won't open at all when I click on it which is quite weird. There are some games that are just not compatible with my mac but I'm pretty sure it had a different message in those cases when i was just unable to expand the zip, I can't tell what the problem is.
Oh dear! I just had my Mac playtester install the game, and it has opened fine for them. The game may just be incompatible with your Mac, but I'd suggest first reinstalling and running the game with your antivirus disabled to see if that fixes the issue.
(un)luckily, I found another game that isn't compatible with my mac so i can show you the difference between the two. The second image is another game, when a game is not functionable on my mac the application itself has a gray circular cross symbol on it, while this game simply says it can't be opened and has an.. odd symbol as a placeholder for the logo
I thought this might be an issue of missing font, but I checked the code and it's in there! Not sure why the game can't read it. Judging by the squares, it may have had trouble reading the Chinese characters in the font name. The PC version of the game does not have this issue as far as I am aware. I have changed the font for Android and checked that it works! Please reinstall the game :]
The resemblance to Ren's route is definitely there, but not intentional!! Bringing in a secondary person to torture felt like a natural progression for the game. I'm glad you like it!!
love this game so much, i still play the original and the improvements is like a baby going to harvard! or however you spell it, i hope it didnt cause you art block though lol
In my opinion, this game really makes me crave more of the 'fresh start ending' bc you know... I love love good endings such as this game portrays that not all characters can change their own desires but could make it into a different aspects such as the looking like blood flower and Akano likings to the color of blood. I really liked his 'fresh start ending' haircut cuz he look cute and it also took me a while to get all of the endings! Seriously though, your game is so goodd. I want more...(I can wait :D)
I really love the game and the different endings, with each ending we kinda learn more about him and why he does what he does, why he is like this, why he enjoys it ect. Also the art is super duper awesome sauce and I could tell the effort put in this game
This was really fun and I loved the character designs! It was fun to get all endings and fill up the gallery. The art style is so unique, I absolutely love it!
An amazing revamp/sequel of the original diner game! I loved playing it when this game first dropped and again when I recently replayed it for a refresher! The art and music is beautiful and you can tell a lot of love and labor went into this game, not to mention the cheeky name and fork cameo <3
This is soooo cool!! I remember first time seeing this on 2020 with the old art style but I couldn't download it. After 5 years I'm finally able to download it!! THANK YOUUUU OMGG
I’m really not sure how I feel about this… it’s well made. The art is good. The music is good. The dialogue is all fine. It is effective horror. I feel scared. I also feel disgusted and violated but I’m not sure if it’s with purpose or not. At times this feels like someone’s pure artistic expression that’s letting them work through some really complicated feelings. If that’s the case then that’s wonderful. I’d never want to suggest that someone shouldn’t do that. At other times though this feels like shock value for the sake of itself that disregards and dismisses some really sensitive topics. I kinda feel taken advantage of, emotionally if not financially. I’m surprised by the 5 star average rating. I could see people loving this and giving it 5 stars but not without a lot of people also despising it and giving it 1 star
Thank you for the lovely detailed review! It's true that murdersims are definitely for a certain type of person and not loved by all. I'm glad the game was able to make you feel emotion, thank you for giving it a try :]

I see! This is quite strange. I have recompiled and uploaded a new build for Mac. There may have been some kind of corruption issue.
Hey thank you! Congrats on completing♡
Amazing!!!! I love the game and the art, its so beautiful! Ty so much for your hard work!
Thank you so much! Congrats on getting every ending <3
I rlly love this game! And I'm glad there's an walk through I get stuck on endings through time to time 😔
I'm glad you enjoy it!! :]
I'm glad this game has a Chinese language, but when I opened it, this appeared, and I couldn't enter the game. Why? I use Android. :(
Oh no! Thank you for letting me know. I will be able to fix this tomorrow :]

Lawrence和Ren的剧情(Boyfriend to death)?我想这个游戏是不错的,期待更多关于他的内容
我回看了本地视频平台关于这个的视频,显示在2022年就有了这个游戏,多么悠久

I'm glad you like it!!
love this game so much, i still play the original and the improvements is like a baby going to harvard! or however you spell it, i hope it didnt cause you art block though lol
Thank you! haha
It didn't give me art block surprisingly but it did make me not want to draw Akano for a long time lol
Me encanta el estilo de dibujo,me derretía con las expresiones de akano 😂,recomendadisimo 🍓
Thank you :]]
i love this game so so much i love akano
Thank you!! :]
Oyuna giriyorum ancak start a basıp 2-3 diyalog atladıktan sonra tamamen donuyor
Oh no! That's weird. Other commenters seem to be playing the game fine. What's your OS?

If you're using the skip feature, maybe you're getting stuck on this screen? You need to type your name here. It won't progress until you do!

Great horror story. I attempted to get all endings. couldn't though. it's so difficult to please Akano.
Haha it's definitely tricky! Thank you for recording your gameplay :]
Just finished playing! Love this so much
Thank you!! :]

OMG!! So that's why I thought he looked familiar, I remember watching the old game being played by Kassie (Gloom) like in 2020 or something!!
