How is this the best game I ever played? Like you're so funny help T0T
(Also, let's go us sex repulsed aces!!)
I mean, I can't think of a single VN who can compare 🙏 (not sure it's for the better though ngl); and more seriously, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you found it funny because I had SO MUCH FUN writing it
(let's goooo a winning teaaaaaam)
Obviously, who could even compare? 🙄💅
YOU BET YOU HAD FUN! I just imagine you giggling behind your screen and some of the lines were soooo clever like you know how to roast!! 😭 You really seem like a nice person, be careful people may want to be your friend afterwards hehe 👀
EFVGBR4F HOW DID THIS COMMENT TURN OUT SO NICE THOUGH DFVDFGF THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M GENUINELY MOVED DCVDCV YOU'RE SO NICE SDCVFDFV
NAH BUT REALLY DCLHCEKVEBHZ I SWEAR IT WAS GENUINE LIKE BE MY FRIEND?? PLUS FROM THE PART OF THE GAME WHERE THE GUY TALKS IN FRENCH AND YOUR PSEUDO ON TWITTER SOMETHING TELLS ME YOUR FRENCH SOOO
(I kinda just created an account to subscribe to you, I'll admit it 🧍Wait... DOES THAT MAKE ME A STALKER? I'll be just like yandere-chan :p)
LMAOOOO I AM VERY DIFFERENT FROM MY GAMES LOOOOL I SWEAR I'M NOT A SLICE OF HAWAIIAN PIZZA (and yes, I'm French!!)
Dang, I feel honoured, that's so kind, thanks, never hesitate to reach out 😭😭
this game was so funny i cant LMAO
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you found it funny! I had LOTS of fun writing it too looool
Ahahaha epic, loved the ending where they marry and the one where the mother straightens em both up XD
Also just saying you got the 19:30 thing correct but not the smiley thing lol ;)
Haha, thanks for playing, I'm glad you had fun! I know I did have fun writing these endings lol
(I'm actually French so I completely agree with you, military time is the correct thing lol... for the nose in the smiley, inexcusable indeed...)
What a game! It's absurd, it's chaotic, it's a ton of fun?? 😮
I load up the game and the main menu theme sounds like Obon music??? WHAT
The expressions? Fantastic! You did such a great job exaggerating them, I especially loved Yanette's sly grin and the horny face with the tongue. 🤭💕
And the humor! The meta jokes and guest appearances gave me a good chuckle. I was so happy to see Kawaii-chan again
(what about little hams tho) (also, why is amanda a goose????? ;A; )I honestly had such a great time with it! I think I missed a few endings but my favorite was probably #5, it was unexpectedly wholesome???? lol
I'm happy you had fun with it!!
And oooh, I didn't know of Obon, but I felt like the energy fitted the game's haha! I'm also glad you appreciated the expression work, I had A LOT OF FUN with them (especially Yanette, she was a blast)!
Well, one of the endings I deleted included not little hams but sausages on a witch's stake instead... and perhaps there was enough food-related trauma in this game loool (for amanda..... why not)
Haha, I was actually wondering what everyone's favourite ending is lol! 5 seems to be rather appreciated overall haha, I guess it makes sense, it's the one to be expected from the premise I think!
Thanks for your feedback and for playing the game, Hiro, I'm glad you had fun!!!
WHAT IS THIS MAIN MENU MUSIC????????????
...OK actually starting the game now...
STOP
STOPPPPPPPPPP
I'm already in tears.
CHIM WTF
The first CG just came up and I'm so torn between incredibly uncomfortable and crying in laughter.
HELLO?????????????????
brb currently questioning everything in my entire life...
I don't know why this line amidst all the others just made me snort.
HELLO?????????????????????????????????????????
....
......OK I think I've gotten all the endings now lakjdfas
WTF DID I JUST PLAY????????
The sheer chaos was absolutely hilarious. Love how I literally had zero idea what could happen next on every single choice anD SOME OF THEM WENT SO FAR OFF THE DEEP END I WAS JUST STARING IN DISBELIEF LAKDJFLAKDSJFA
This was a ton of fun to play I will definitely admit LOL I love how you took such a silly concept and turned the silliness and ridiculousness up to 11 from all the random meta humor, nonsensical references back to your own games, people just appearing?? out of nowhere??? and a gazillion other things so that it just felt like this slowly building chaotic snowball while playing. YET ALSO DESPITE HOW SILLY IT IS IT'S LIKE... WONDERFULLY WELL MADE??? Like the art is silly and ridiculous but wonderful. The animations and shifts in mood were lovely. Like it just feels like a chaotic masterpiece 🤣💕 And so many random but hilarious one-liners and jokes. Also both Yanette's and Yancie's expressions were gold. WHEN THE CAGE CAME TO LIFE??? HELLO??????????? Sorry I just remembered that and felt like I needed to scream. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN ABOUT BEING UNABLE TO PREDICT ANYTHING THAT WILL HAPPEN.
As someone who's never been that into yandere games in general or just the premise of romancing a murderer, I went into this with an innocent and curious mind not knowing how close to the plot you were going to stay or if it would truly just be hilarity (and I admit I'm glad it was more on the hilarity side without taking anything seriously alkdjfalsd)
Sob sob sob. Life has changed. Mine eyes have been opened. Yadda yadda yadda. You know the yooj. I feel like these characters should be like mascots or something now LOL
AT ANY RATE. LOVELY STUFF AS ALWAYS, CHIM. This reminded me of playing Kawaii-chan only even more chaotic (and much more inappropriate LOL). You really have a knack for making games that are just absolutely unhinged lkfdjalkdfasd Thanks for the laughs and congrats on this... uh.... ~masterpiece~ 😌
Carrot, this comment made me cry tears of laughter!!!! Thanks for sharing your live reactions, they were SOOOOO funny to read!
Overall, I'm glad you had fun with the game and the chaos! I had a lot of fun putting references, some more subtle than others lol, and also making more jokes in general (you pointed it out, there's a loooooooot of them lol). The endings were also made to be layers and layers and layers of unexpected twists and turns of events in the cheapest manner possible lol
Thanks for your compliments on the art etc., trying to make something not as obviously ridiculous as Kawaii-chan but still ridiculous was a fun process! And the expressions played a HUGE role lol (so did the more questionable CGs dcvfdv)!
I'm glad you appreciated the game despite not being into yandere games in general! I think we share similar perspectives: I kinda like them, but in general, but never really take the romance seriously so making this game a parody made sense sdvfdcv
KAWAII-CHAN BUT MORE CHAOTIC FRV I WASN'T SURE IT WAS THE CASE I'M GLAD IT IS!!!! You're welcome for the laughs, happy it wasn't tears this time!!
This is hilarious and unpredictable XD
Hi! Thanks a lot, I'm glad you had fun!
This game left me speechless; truly Da Vinci has done it again, while angels weep that such a masterpiece will never once again be replicated...
The art is really well done--well rendered and stylish. There are a LOT of CGs for such a short game (and I will say that some of the CGs are adorable and some are...horrifying...) The stylized red and blue color palette for the background is stylish and suits the somewhat "cartoonish" nature of the game. The UI is very well-designed--clean and slick (and appropriately edgy). I love how self-aware the writing is, and the presentation of the narrator as a separate character that comments on the absurdity of what is going on is a stroke of genius. It really makes the player grounded in what is occurring and almost makes it seem like you're with a friend at a movie, laughing together at the crazy stuff that is happening.
The thing that surprised me the most about this game was the SHEER AMOUNT OF ENDINGS AND ABSURDITY IT HAS. When you think that it's going to go off the rails, instead it does a pirouette and smacks you over the head with a chimichurri steak before taunting you like your kawaii fairy godmother. And the endings truly run the whole gamut from "surprisingly wholesome" to "surprisingly wholesome except that they're bathing in each other's blood I guess" to "I have NO idea what's happening" to "my brain has left the solar system." It's a testament to the writing that, even amidst the sheer amount of absurdity, I thought that some of the endings were oddly heartwarming, and I even got a little attached to Yanette and Yancie as characters (Yanette for her absolute insanity, and Yancie for...being absolutely insane and yet also somehow being the sane one in the situation).
===SPOILERS BELOW===
My favorite ending is definitely the pineapple pizza one--the CG for that one was SO well done that it really sent shivers down my spine. Truly excellent body horror (or a very sexy CG I guess, considering how attractive you find pineapple-covered pizza with nipples).
My second favorite ending is probably the Vanessa ending, which I DID NOT SEE COMING AT ALL. I did appreciate the callback to Chimichurri, and I thought it was really funny to imagine a "Dexter-esque" serial killer who seduces other killers by...pretending to be a hybristophiliac.
My third favorite ending was probably Angelo/Angela...or the "boring" ending, *sigh*. I thought it was a really clever, meta look at the game as a whole, and seeing Angelo and Angela act so "sane" after everything that happened was...jarring, to say the least. It really put the craziness of the rest of the game into perspective (especially since, after a while, you almost got desensitized to the absurdity...)
Overall this was a really fun parody on "extreme dark romance!" With plenty of replay value...
of course i can replicate it i just need to make the same game and put wigs on the characters
More seriously, thanks for the feedback both here and during the beta-testing phase!! Overall, thanks for all your kind words on the more technical aspects!
I really enjoyed writing the Narrator
i needed it for my sanitybut I indeed hoped it was a way to make sure players didn't take it all too seriously because, in the end, this game is just meant to be an enjoyable mess, haha, especially since the game, as you point out, kinda goes all oer the place, the only common ground being "parodic take on dark romance and yandere trope" (with one notable exception, but you mention it in the spoilers part!).-------- SPOILERS OH NO READER DON'T READ THIS BEFORE PLAYING YOU'LL MISS OUT ON A MASTERPIECE WASN'T BRINING DA VINCI BACK TO LIFE NOT ENOUGH --------
The pineapple was my favourite CG (now, was it for the nipples or for the actual art... mystery).
The Venessa was one of the first ones to be conceptualised actually! I thought it would be a fun reference for my more faithful players, while still being an interesting twist for newcomers!
For Angelo and Angela, it was guilt talking dvfdsdcv I kinda wanted to put everything into perspective and still find a way to go beyond the overall shitpost: I believe that fiction has to be, at least to some extent, responsible, and that's what I wanted to highlight there, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks again for all the feedback which I value a lot!!
This game changed my Life. I have Now an Obssession with Yanderes. Yanette is my role Model. Yancie... ? Oh myGod. Imagine a Life Killing people and sleeping inside a Cage ! True Happiness! God Bless you etc !
*uses his magic wand or something and turns you into a cage* dreams come true lenette
omg... kawaii-chan..
