Unfortunately, Ren will be the only primary love interest in 14DWY ^^; Teo is also not one of the characters you can get a romantic epilogue with either, as I don't have anything planned for him right now. Sorry!
LMAOOO everyone is a cockblock when it comes to Ren getting what he wants ^^;
And I'm very sorry to hear that you find the MC really mean! I've received similar comments in the past about Angel feeling rude and assertive, but I'm very firm on not wanting them to come across as overly soft, ditzy, or even a pushover since these are stereotypical traits for female MCs in typical otome games (/neg) — and quite frankly, I'm kinda sick of it dsgdhjs
But for further clarity, I'd like to say right now that 14DWY is an amare game and Angel is intentionally written to be gender neutral (unless you pick specific pronouns, how the characters view your MC, etc.).
I get that, but I wish I could cuddle him.... my delusions are so deeply burrowed into my brain, that I'm kinda gone at this point...
BUT, I ALSO WANNA SAY THAT THIS GAME IS SO GOOD AND I LOVE YOUR WORK! (None of Rens's actions should be condon in real life, tho, but it's OK cause this is a game. So, he can break the fabric of reality!)
Oh thank you! But i guess i’ve found out that this is actually very similar to the library in my city, if not the same one. I was surprised but i think it is full immersion at this point, haha. Anyways, thank you for your answer <3
absolutely obsessed with 14dwy!!! thank you (saint) so much for creating this world, and for bringing ren to life through your incredible work (and all the other characters too, but especially ren bc i'm in love with him) <3<3
also! don't listen to anyone who says negative things about your writing or the nsfw scenes, i think it's all beautifully written. the nsfw scenes feel super unique (in a good way) and fresh, and i just adore the way ren's devotion/adoration towards angel is conveyed in them. you can just really feel his love shine through <3 i don't pick that up so easily in most games with nsfw scenes in them.
thank you again for the fantastic experiences, i'm so excited to see where you take this game! take as much time as you need, and i hope you feel good about where things are headed <3
right!! it just feels like all of his feelings come pouring out, like it conveys just how overwhelmed he is with how much he loves and cares for angel. it's So intimate, there's a carefulness there that i just really really appreciate and love reading, it's rare. and the fact that he's so attentive to angel is beautiful :') you don't get that in a lot of games, a lot of the time it just feel like nsfw for the sake of it, or like there isn't a lot of feeling/emotion in the scenes themselves. even when you know these characters in these other games love each other, sometimes those feelings don't shine as brightly as they do in 14dwy.
with the nsfw scenes in 14dwy, it doesn't feel that way at all. it's genuine and loving, and ren's feelings come through so vividly in them. the desperation is incredibly raw, and you can really feel just how potent this love/obsession really is for him.
Plus the fact that NSFW scenes aren't required to have a 'deeper' relationship or progress through the story makes me soo happy. Can't tell you how many games I've dropped because being sexually involved with a character is needed to have a better relationship with them lol.
Stoooop, this game is my newest obsession. It reminds me so much of Doki Doki literature club and that makes me so excited to see more. I can’t believe this is free like it’s so good, my heart is racing in the best way possible. OH MY- I got to a [Redacted] scene and then an amber alert went off on my phone, I had a heart attack. This game makes me so on edge sometimes lmao it’s so good. When those updates come out, I will be eating it up like I’ve been starved.
The truth is that I have no words to describe this game, it is my adoration; the drawing style, the backgrounds and the development of the story is incredible! , if you are thinking of trying it I recommend it TOO MUCH, it is perfect, I love and adore how beautiful it is.
I hope they complete it soon, I would be willing to buy it as many times as necessary (if it becomes paid) or not necessarily, I support this novel to death....:3, I really have no suggestion , I find it charming. I appreciate your effort to create my adoration, I love you, take care of yourself, a huge hug
Can´t wait for a new day update!! I am absoluty in LOOOVE with this game !! Played it for hours and hours even tho I already got all endings, just adore everything about it !!! Couldn´t put it aside! HIGHLY RECOMMEND YALL xx hope there are comming updates soon XD
There is usually one regular ending and one "Dead End" per Day. Though the regular endings can vary depending on where you finish the chapter (e.g. if you're at home, at Ren's apartment, etc.)
Did you mean make more 18+ CGs instead of a black screen? If so, that's something I'll have to consider in the future, as I'm not really focusing on the 18+ scenes right now ^^;
I'd like to finish the main storyline first before I go back and update the 18+ scenes. Sorry!
completed day 3 and not a lick of nsfw. ig this just shows how vanilla i am lmaoo. then again this is my first otome game so, ig i gotta be more patient lol
Right now, I think all NSFW scenes currently tie back to if you triggered the first one on day 1. I don't think there's another point where you can 'begin' the woohoo relationship yet. So if you wanna see them you have to move the pillow in Day 1 and go on from there.
But also keep in mind that the game is meant to be played without the NSFW, they're just a treat. :)
I already commented on how much I love this game and how I'll keep coming back to it even if im six feet under.
I just wanted to ask the developer or anyone who will help
why does the MC/Angel get the 'bad ending' or dead end when you accidentally spill ink and stay in his apartment. Please! I beg of you! I have conversed with scholars from all lands, I've traveled over yonder with many Great Minds of Anubis and still! None could provoke such an answer to such a situation... Please, I implore you! Help! Someone! Anyone! Please!
(If someone tells me the answer and I look dumb im deleting this post)
LMFAO from what i’ve seen in this game so far the dev has said some of these ‘dead end’s / bad ending are because they haven’t made connections from like day 1 or stuff like that yet but the answer would most likely not be breach of privacy maybe…but from what i think maybe just the enabling of toxic behavior from ren(dacted)’s part possibly?
Not 100% sure but i’ve seen some of the dev’s responses so some bad endings are due to enabling and i think so too, and possibly not keeping some sort of safe distance from him and being too clingy/close? Again not sure so dev will probably have to correct me, confirm or clarify :)
Someone else already explained it in another comment (thank you!!), but all the "Dead Ends" are there for me to put a temporary stop to the storyline.
Some choices make it hard to connect one Day with another (such as when the player blocks or ignores Ren in Day 1; it wouldn't make sense to go on a date with him in Day 2). But for Day 4 specifically, it wouldn't make sense to have Angel stay anywhere near the ominous black smoke when even Ren seems aggravated by it.
I'd also like to clarify that the Dead Ends have nothing to do with [REDACTED]!
Ever since I played this game I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I'll be honest, I haven't played too many visual novels, but whether free or not, I think this game is awesome and well made. The story immediately hooked me in. I'm excited for more days to be released and more of Ren/Redacted's lore being revealed. Thank you for sharing this game with us, and best of luck! <3
i've been avoiding this game kind of time because of its cute appearance, but after reading it i really regret about avoiding it lol. i really like the development of the story: it's not too slow and not too fast, just like reading a good book.
i read other comments below about nsfw scenes and dialogues, and i have to say that i kinda liked how he could behave "more rudely and dirty", as if slightly breaking the facade of a "sweet and shy boy" that he is trying to show mc. good spice to the story :)
i also love this "breaking through the game", the bad endings are so cool?? it's a good reminder that this is still a horror game and our ren is not quite mentally healthy, lol.
i can't wait for the story to take a darker turn!! and the appearance of [REDACTED] <3
thank you for all your work and sorry for my english :D
also, i'm sorry if it's been already asked but do you have any plans about releasing it on steam?
good points: Amazing game!! i love ren and the whole aesthetic of the game! specially the customization and the whole glitching thing (the sound of the letters scratches my brain real nice)
i also LOVE the art and how all the girls are so sweet😭🫶🏻
SPOILERS
i also really like how ren “talks” in the dead ends, i think it makes the game much more interesting! the red letters! how the letters shook and the “jumpscare” of the “it” thing ren refers to? i REALLY like it><❤️
bad points/suggestions: what really setts me off the most is the writing, sometimes it’s really cringey, SPECIALLY the nsfw scenes—it felt like a wattpad story, and how most of it happens with a black screen i think it emphasizes that, i couldn’t even imagine anything because it was very…bland, and the “dirty talk” is really, really, bad, it’s very standard and sometimes plain embarrassing (and not because it has sexual undertones lol). I think giving more details, images and richer words would make it better. If you look up some nsfw romance japanese games you can see that some doesn’t even have a lot of “””vulgar””” language, but its detailed and they describe a lot of emotions/feelings which gives the readers a feeling of immersion and butterflies on your stomach haha (but that’s just my opinion!)
what really made me look it up was the romance, nsfw and yandere part (which i dont know many games with such categories together) which is why i was kind of disappointed:( i like the overall story and the designs, as well as the choices! but the writing feels very forceful and simplistic, specially the ones with her friends from college and ren, honestly the best and not forced/cringe talks/relationships in my opinion was with teo and all the girls.
again to the nsfw part, why can’t we “active” that feature unless we do it on the first day? my suggestion is that we can trigger it even on other days too! it even feels more natural:)
also, maybe you can add a small reminder that when you’re picking certain choices it will affect ren’s appearance? or major changes? (not story related of course, only regarding appearances or the way you’ll be perceived)
i don’t know if it’s because it’s still a demo but ren doesn’t really feel like a yandere to me, only a clingy boy tbh (or maybe that’s just your intention haha)
also, it’s not a bad point but i think making us readers know about what he’s muttering about while the mc doesn’t kind of takes the “suspense” and immersion out of it? it’s just a suggestion but i think it would make the players more interested if you let them know JUST some words of what he’s murmuring (ex: i think…that…pretty…) or something like that lmao it’s a pretty shitty example but i think you get it? or just revealing what he’s talking about sometimes instead of all the time? maybe write something like “he’s murmuring something to himself” instead of revealing everything? i think it keeps the mystery of the character and makes the readers more curious, but this is mainly my preference:)
overall: i really like the game actually! specially considering how its for free:) thank you for making this^^ i can see it has a lot of effort put it in it!! i think my main problem would be with the writing but that’s just my opinion, please don’t think i’m offending you or anything!!!😭 it’s just some things that has been on my mind while i played^^ thank you for your hard work!! i’ll def play your full game too!! please don’t feel pressured and take care of yourself <3 (sorry for any mistakes english is not my first language)
aaaaa thank you very much for leaving such an in-depth review!!
Unfortunately, the 18+ scenes are not my main priority right now, and as such, I've put them on the back burner while I focus on the actual game itself. Because of this, these scenes are extremely basic, linear, and don't offer much in terms of lore or narrative progression.
Also!! All the 18+ scenes depend on Day 1's 18+ scene because I didn't want to copy and paste the same "Is this your first time?" dialogue over and over again. I want every encounter with Ren to feel unique, so using the same text honestly feels like a cop-out to me. But when I do go back to working on the 18+ scenes, I'll be sure to keep your suggestions in mind!
And I understand that most of the 18+ scenes feel very cliche to you, and it's likely because it was the first time I've ever written an 18+ scene in my life lmao ^^; I was also an active fanfic writer/reader before I created 14DWY, so a lot of my writing experience came from the content I consumed on Ao3, Tumblr, Quotev, etc. (weirdly enough, I never got into Wattpad gjdsjh) Because of this, my writing style leans a certain way, and I guess it shows in most of the scenes in 14DWY. So I'm very sorry if you find the 18+ dialogue cringe!! But right now, I don't have any plans on changing them as... that's just how I write ;v;
On the topic of cliche-ness... Ironically, 14DWY is supposed to mimic those stereotypical and over-the-top dating sims! I mentioned this somewhere in the comment section over a year ago, but 14DWY is intentionally supposed to come across like a cliche, cutesy visual novel — before it gets darker and more gruesome as the game progresses. So while the 18+ scenes reflecting this were a happy coincidence, I currently don't have any plans to rewrite the main scenes in 14DWY either.
Regarding your suggestion about the muttering: this is also something I'll keep in mind for the future! But I do want to quickly highlight the fact that Ren is supposed to come across as a bit eccentric at times. The mumbling under his breath is part of his characterisation, and if I made his words even more vague than they already appear, I feel like the original intention would be lost on the players. I want him to say weird/random things to remind people that he is supposed to be a yandere at the end of the day gdshjgsd
With all that being said... Thanks again for your kind words and feedback! I appreciate it very much ^^
The game is peak. I love the background very much (though I'm upset I couldn't really play it normally on my old laptop, it was very glitchy. Needs a turn on/off effects toggle) (correct me if it already does, the last time I used my old laptop was in like 2023 I think and I didn't bother checking on the new one), the menu, the characters, the drawing style, EVERYTHING that's in the visual part. Dialogues and text too, for the most part. BUT. THE "DEAD END"`s are very fucking strange. Can't say stupid, Ion even know what happens in them to say that. MILD SPOILERS AHEAD: Like WDYM I stumbled on a dead end just because I refused to go to the damn aquarium or whatever (I forgot how to spell it) just because I hoped I could spend the day with you somehow?? WDYM I got the bad end because I wanted to stay at your apartment for the night?? I didn't even understand what caused it, because if for the first one I found the answer in creator's tumblr account (long ago, I actually forgot the reason already), now there's just.. I'm so confused?? Like sai, pookie, I really love your creation & stuff, even being the picky bitch I am, but what the heck. There are just.. silly. Not in a good way.
It's not strange if you think about how Ren is as a character.. it's like you're enabling his toxic behavior/obsession when you chose those "bad" decisions which leads to those dead ends.
Whateva you say, honey. I guess I'll just go spend ANOTHER 38953200 hours on dev's socials trying to understand and justify the way those bad ends happen
Please practice kindness and consideration when speaking to others online T_T You might have to spend hours trying to understand something, but I also have to spend hours of my own time explaining them in the first place.
All the Dead Ends in the game are a work in progress, and they only occur whenever I'm unable to link one day with another (hence the name "Dead End"). If you block Ren in Day 1, it wouldn’t really make much sense for the player to immediately agree and go on a date with him in Day 2. If ominous black smoke comes along and makes even Ren concerned, it wouldn't make sense for Angel to stay anywhere near it.
You can leave suggestions, constructive criticism, and ask genuine questions here (which I don't mind answering!!) but please don't be rude or sarcastic to others.
Their sarcasm doesn't affect me but I'm glad you said something about it, you're a real sweetheart/gen. I'm really looking forward to what you have planned for the game, I always look to see if any updates have been posted. It's been fun playing your game and the dead ends do make sense in my opinion. I played through multiple endings and I can't wait to see how the story progresses! <3
I'm pretty sure the dead ends are there to emphasize that this is a game. Ren breaks the fourth wall when we reach the "bad" endings by directly speaking to the player. Choices leading to a dead end shouldn't even be there and are probaly a result of Ren messing with the game's narrative. (At least that's my theory, Sai said she doesn't want to reveal much about the purpose of dead ends)
Another possible reason is simply that the game is still a WIP demo, and the route's leading to dead end's will be added in the future
from what i remember im pretty sure the reason dead ends exist are bc they werent sure how to continue writing from that point or smthn (personal noting that it hints more at the fact hes at least semi self aware as well) this is just what i remember though from a old(?) tumblr post
This is one of the most complete and consistently updated Yandere games on itch, so I just want to give a big shout-out and thank you for that!!
I'm studying computer science and I enjoy art & writing, so I know how time-consuming it can be to make these games. Especially with how busy our lives can get, it means a lot to me that you've been thugging it out to get this game completed.
(also thank you SO much for including full-on spicy scenes. It's a lot rarer than I'd like to be given a NSFW option)

Unfortunately, Ren will be the only primary love interest in 14DWY ^^; Teo is also not one of the characters you can get a romantic epilogue with either, as I don't have anything planned for him right now. Sorry!
Aw Man but fair enough since he is mc's ex and a cheater. Anyways, thanks for the amazing game!
bro did we play the same game? he's literally not a cheater. mc assumed he was their bf but he never agreed to date.
lol i guess i just read the story and forgot to understand 😔😔 actually i read the story but he left a cheater ex f impression on me. Idk why lol
I'm on day 2 and some things I've noticed is that Leon is a cock block, and the mc is really mean. LIKE NO CUDDLES!? HUH!?
LMAOOO everyone is a cockblock when it comes to Ren getting what he wants ^^;
And I'm very sorry to hear that you find the MC really mean! I've received similar comments in the past about Angel feeling rude and assertive, but I'm very firm on not wanting them to come across as overly soft, ditzy, or even a pushover since these are stereotypical traits for female MCs in typical otome games (/neg) — and quite frankly, I'm kinda sick of it dsgdhjs

I love love love love loveeee REN :3333 and also his hair, i want his hair it's so cute
Is the library background a photo or did the author draw it themselves? Because it feels veeeery very familiar to me but I can't tell why////> <
I source all the background images from Pexels!! Perhaps you've seen it somewhere ^^
Oh thank you! But i guess i’ve found out that this is actually very similar to the library in my city, if not the same one. I was surprised but i think it is full immersion at this point, haha. Anyways, thank you for your answer <3
absolutely obsessed with 14dwy!!! thank you (saint) so much for creating this world, and for bringing ren to life through your incredible work (and all the other characters too, but especially ren bc i'm in love with him) <3<3
also! don't listen to anyone who says negative things about your writing or the nsfw scenes, i think it's all beautifully written. the nsfw scenes feel super unique (in a good way) and fresh, and i just adore the way ren's devotion/adoration towards angel is conveyed in them. you can just really feel his love shine through <3 i don't pick that up so easily in most games with nsfw scenes in them.
thank you again for the fantastic experiences, i'm so excited to see where you take this game! take as much time as you need, and i hope you feel good about where things are headed <3
i get you on the nsfw scenes. rens feel so raw and intimate i love it sm
right!! it just feels like all of his feelings come pouring out, like it conveys just how overwhelmed he is with how much he loves and cares for angel. it's So intimate, there's a carefulness there that i just really really appreciate and love reading, it's rare. and the fact that he's so attentive to angel is beautiful :') you don't get that in a lot of games, a lot of the time it just feel like nsfw for the sake of it, or like there isn't a lot of feeling/emotion in the scenes themselves. even when you know these characters in these other games love each other, sometimes those feelings don't shine as brightly as they do in 14dwy.

so hyped for day 5!! its coming in a week for those who arent in the server <3
OMG
you are cool beans for announcing that!!@!@!@! /srs

所以现在的进度是只有四天吗
Found this game a few days back. I'm absolutely in love with it and constantly checking in for the next update aaaa
day 5 should be out in a week apparently
Can´t wait for a new day update!! I am absoluty in LOOOVE with this game !! Played it for hours and hours even tho I already got all endings, just adore everything about it !!! Couldn´t put it aside! HIGHLY RECOMMEND YALL xx hope there are comming updates soon XD
How many endings are there?
There is usually one regular ending and one "Dead End" per Day. Though the regular endings can vary depending on where you finish the chapter (e.g. if you're at home, at Ren's apartment, etc.)
Make a dirty scene begging because black ekran is boring to watch((
there are nsfw scenes, if that's what you're looking for. you have to say that you want 18+ content shown before starting a new game/are 18+
Thanks, I'll check now
Did you mean make more 18+ CGs instead of a black screen? If so, that's something I'll have to consider in the future, as I'm not really focusing on the 18+ scenes right now ^^;
I'd like to finish the main storyline first before I go back and update the 18+ scenes. Sorry!
Yes, I was just talking about the black screen, I was talking, and thank you very much that in the future you will work on all 18+ scenes🙏🙏🙏
i want teo rahhhh
completed day 3 and not a lick of nsfw. ig this just shows how vanilla i am lmaoo. then again this is my first otome game so, ig i gotta be more patient lol
Right now, I think all NSFW scenes currently tie back to if you triggered the first one on day 1. I don't think there's another point where you can 'begin' the woohoo relationship yet. So if you wanna see them you have to move the pillow in Day 1 and go on from there.
But also keep in mind that the game is meant to be played without the NSFW, they're just a treat. :)

why does the MC/Angel get the 'bad ending' or dead end when you accidentally spill ink and stay in his apartment. Please! I beg of you! I have conversed with scholars from all lands, I've traveled over yonder with many Great Minds of Anubis and still! None could provoke such an answer to such a situation...
Please, I implore you! Help! Someone! Anyone! Please!

thank you for all your work and sorry for my english :D
also, i'm sorry if it's been already asked but do you have any plans about releasing it on steam?
Will this game be released for android? 🥺
My main focus is on PC/Mac/Linux for now, so I currently don't have any plans for creating an Android version. I'm very sorry!
good points: Amazing game!! i love ren and the whole aesthetic of the game! specially the customization and the whole glitching thing (the sound of the letters scratches my brain real nice)

what really made me look it up was the romance, nsfw and yandere part (which i dont know many games with such categories together) which is why i was kind of disappointed:( i like the overall story and the designs, as well as the choices! but the writing feels very forceful and simplistic, specially the ones with her friends from college and ren, honestly the best and not forced/cringe talks/relationships in my opinion was with teo and all the girls.
again to the nsfw part, why can’t we “active” that feature unless we do it on the first day? my suggestion is that we can trigger it even on other days too! it even feels more natural:)
also, maybe you can add a small reminder that when you’re picking certain choices it will affect ren’s appearance? or major changes? (not story related of course, only regarding appearances or the way you’ll be perceived)
i don’t know if it’s because it’s still a demo but ren doesn’t really feel like a yandere to me, only a clingy boy tbh (or maybe that’s just your intention haha)
also, it’s not a bad point but i think making us readers know about what he’s muttering about while the mc doesn’t kind of takes the “suspense” and immersion out of it? it’s just a suggestion but i think it would make the players more interested if you let them know JUST some words of what he’s murmuring (ex: i think…that…pretty…) or something like that lmao it’s a pretty shitty example but i think you get it? or just revealing what he’s talking about sometimes instead of all the time? maybe write something like “he’s murmuring something to himself” instead of revealing everything? i think it keeps the mystery of the character and makes the readers more curious, but this is mainly my preference:)
overall: i really like the game actually! specially considering how its for free:) thank you for making this^^ i can see it has a lot of effort put it in it!! i think my main problem would be with the writing but that’s just my opinion, please don’t think i’m offending you or anything!!!😭 it’s just some things that has been on my mind while i played^^ thank you for your hard work!! i’ll def play your full game too!! please don’t feel pressured and take care of yourself <3 (sorry for any mistakes english is not my first language)
aaaaa thank you very much for leaving such an in-depth review!!
Unfortunately, the 18+ scenes are not my main priority right now, and as such, I've put them on the back burner while I focus on the actual game itself. Because of this, these scenes are extremely basic, linear, and don't offer much in terms of lore or narrative progression.
Also!! All the 18+ scenes depend on Day 1's 18+ scene because I didn't want to copy and paste the same "Is this your first time?" dialogue over and over again. I want every encounter with Ren to feel unique, so using the same text honestly feels like a cop-out to me. But when I do go back to working on the 18+ scenes, I'll be sure to keep your suggestions in mind!
And I understand that most of the 18+ scenes feel very cliche to you, and it's likely because it was the first time I've ever written an 18+ scene in my life lmao ^^; I was also an active fanfic writer/reader before I created 14DWY, so a lot of my writing experience came from the content I consumed on Ao3, Tumblr, Quotev, etc. (weirdly enough, I never got into Wattpad gjdsjh) Because of this, my writing style leans a certain way, and I guess it shows in most of the scenes in 14DWY. So I'm very sorry if you find the 18+ dialogue cringe!! But right now, I don't have any plans on changing them as... that's just how I write ;v;
On the topic of cliche-ness... Ironically, 14DWY is supposed to mimic those stereotypical and over-the-top dating sims! I mentioned this somewhere in the comment section over a year ago, but 14DWY is intentionally supposed to come across like a cliche, cutesy visual novel — before it gets darker and more gruesome as the game progresses. So while the 18+ scenes reflecting this were a happy coincidence, I currently don't have any plans to rewrite the main scenes in 14DWY either.
Regarding your suggestion about the muttering: this is also something I'll keep in mind for the future! But I do want to quickly highlight the fact that Ren is supposed to come across as a bit eccentric at times. The mumbling under his breath is part of his characterisation, and if I made his words even more vague than they already appear, I feel like the original intention would be lost on the players. I want him to say weird/random things to remind people that he is supposed to be a yandere at the end of the day gdshjgsd
With all that being said... Thanks again for your kind words and feedback! I appreciate it very much ^^
The game is peak. I love the background very much (though I'm upset I couldn't really play it normally on my old laptop, it was very glitchy. Needs a turn on/off effects toggle) (correct me if it already does, the last time I used my old laptop was in like 2023 I think and I didn't bother checking on the new one), the menu, the characters, the drawing style, EVERYTHING that's in the visual part. Dialogues and text too, for the most part. BUT. THE "DEAD END"`s are very fucking strange. Can't say stupid, Ion even know what happens in them to say that. MILD SPOILERS AHEAD: Like WDYM I stumbled on a dead end just because I refused to go to the damn aquarium or whatever (I forgot how to spell it) just because I hoped I could spend the day with you somehow?? WDYM I got the bad end because I wanted to stay at your apartment for the night?? I didn't even understand what caused it, because if for the first one I found the answer in creator's tumblr account (long ago, I actually forgot the reason already), now there's just.. I'm so confused?? Like sai, pookie, I really love your creation & stuff, even being the picky bitch I am, but what the heck. There are just.. silly. Not in a good way.
It's not strange if you think about how Ren is as a character.. it's like you're enabling his toxic behavior/obsession when you chose those "bad" decisions which leads to those dead ends.
Whateva you say, honey. I guess I'll just go spend ANOTHER 38953200 hours on dev's socials trying to understand and justify the way those bad ends happen
Please practice kindness and consideration when speaking to others online T_T You might have to spend hours trying to understand something, but I also have to spend hours of my own time explaining them in the first place.
All the Dead Ends in the game are a work in progress, and they only occur whenever I'm unable to link one day with another (hence the name "Dead End"). If you block Ren in Day 1, it wouldn’t really make much sense for the player to immediately agree and go on a date with him in Day 2. If ominous black smoke comes along and makes even Ren concerned, it wouldn't make sense for Angel to stay anywhere near it.
You can leave suggestions, constructive criticism, and ask genuine questions here (which I don't mind answering!!) but please don't be rude or sarcastic to others.
Their sarcasm doesn't affect me but I'm glad you said something about it, you're a real sweetheart/gen. I'm really looking forward to what you have planned for the game, I always look to see if any updates have been posted. It's been fun playing your game and the dead ends do make sense in my opinion. I played through multiple endings and I can't wait to see how the story progresses! <3
I'm pretty sure the dead ends are there to emphasize that this is a game. Ren breaks the fourth wall when we reach the "bad" endings by directly speaking to the player. Choices leading to a dead end shouldn't even be there and are probaly a result of Ren messing with the game's narrative. (At least that's my theory, Sai said she doesn't want to reveal much about the purpose of dead ends)
Another possible reason is simply that the game is still a WIP demo, and the route's leading to dead end's will be added in the future
from what i remember im pretty sure the reason dead ends exist are bc they werent sure how to continue writing from that point or smthn (personal noting that it hints more at the fact hes at least semi self aware as well) this is just what i remember though from a old(?) tumblr post
I'm a bit scared of Ren.
What about Android users? (╯︵╰,)
This is one of the most complete and consistently updated Yandere games on itch, so I just want to give a big shout-out and thank you for that!!
I'm studying computer science and I enjoy art & writing, so I know how time-consuming it can be to make these games. Especially with how busy our lives can get, it means a lot to me that you've been thugging it out to get this game completed.
(also thank you SO much for including full-on spicy scenes. It's a lot rarer than I'd like to be given a NSFW option)
i did NOT know you could do the devils tango w him, i screamed 😭
I love this game very much, I'm literally attached to him 🤭🤭🤭
I need a mobil version.😞

I NEED THIS FOR ANDROID PLEASE😔🤙🏻
