I love this game! its long and so interesting,, i just finished getting all the endings and im really interested in the true ending and the "good ending" with newbie and mc. were we the yandere all along?! this was fun!!
i finished the game, its very unusual and interesting, i need more yandere bl games, hehe, thank you so much! but i have a question, i wonder if anyone has answers? SPOILERS AHEAD
so i didnt really understand what happened between MC and coworker, like we saw some car accident, and i'm not sure who got hit - MC or coworker? or that accident never happened? also, right before the accident MC said he saw coworker crossing the road WITH someone, i assume it was that doctor he fell in love with? so was the doctor also there during the accident, or no? but that doc couldn't be there, because coworker only met him AFTER the accident, and fell in love with him, and that's why our MC got mad and jealous? and did that moment really happen, when coworker cried in the hospital holding MC's hand, and begged him to come back? or was it just MC's fever dream?
I THINK SO TOO! because in the B-side when you have a ton of suspicion points lil bro blames us for killing his bro.. which might eb newbie because we see him in a car crash!
The game guide is a bit difficult to understand, but maybe you know the answer to this...
MUST you cater to anyone else if you want to reach the happy ending with Vincent?
Not that I know what this game considered happy and unhappy. (I've seen so-called 'bad endings' I consider very happy endings. And so-called 'happy endings' that are miserable in my book.)
But everything I've tried so far just gets me chained up, EVEN if I try to get the impossible MC to stay with him and choose him at every turn.
(Which, if it had been possible, should have made him relax enough to not kidnap you, by all logic. You don't leash a dog that comes whenever you call for it after all. Cuz you want it to be happy if you love it.)
Unfortunately, to get through Parts 1 & 2 of the game, you have to cater to both of them. You have to balance their affections for you to get out of the loop to arrive at Part 3 of the game where you can reach a happy ending with Vincent.
Do choices matter in this game? So far choosing to believe it's a dream still makes him think he's transmigrated to someone's body.
...which is one of only two choices that I found.
Aww... Why can't you go with Vincent to a bar? xD I mean... my half-sister went to a nightclub when she was 13! It's not that hard! (Okay, so she climbed in the window, and got older guys to buy her the drinks...which was not uncommon in that nightclub... but I'm sure Vincent knows the bartender or something. Or he wouldn't suggest it. lol)
To bad your primary love interest is the annoying best friend type. (I mean, you nailed the cliche, absolutely. I just don't like him. Or jocks. lol)
(Not that the game have any hot emo/rock/punk guys in it. Sadly. But I realize those are not as cliche as the types in this game, and cliche is the whole point of the game.)
....this game is not gonna end well for me... *sigh*
But I have to say: This is the first game I've played where the MC's inability to understand (or do) the whole love-at-first-sight thing ACTUALLY makes sense.
(I'll admit I usually have more in common with the yandere than the MC, but shush. xD)
Hrm...
Do people usually have such a big mis-match between the games they love and real life wishes? oO
I'll admit that I am not a fan of the horror endings personally, even if I like the darker type yanderes. But I can't see myself choose any differently in real life than I would in a game. (At least on the first play trough. And, as I said: I prefer happy endings. Well, -my- version of it. Which occasionally...or often...end up with a lot of people dead, but that's okay, I didn't much care for those people anyway. ^_^ )
Of course, one have to play a game before one can see how it ends I suppose. So maybe the MC's predicament DO make sense. 🤔
It still annoys me that the MC is so wishy-washy with Vince tho. Even if I kinda get it, considering that he has preconceived notions. But he has more control than you would in a game, and why would anyone want to lock you up if they can have you when you're free? I've never understood that game concept. (It makes sense if you reject them, but not if you accept them.)
Why would the MC want to kiss Leon? Like...ever? If you never make any form of choice to like him.
Kudos on the yandere logic at the very least. I just wish I had more options to NOT reject Vince. But I understand why the MC does it, I guess....
Interesting twist on what happens when you die tho. ....if only the MC would stop being so stubborn. Although Vince WAS a bit irrational in the second round. You DID give in to him, so why should he worry at that point?
The infinity-loop is a nice touch. But it'd be even nicer if the MC actually LEARNED from his mistakes. I mean... he know WHY Vince does what he does in the end. He'd be able to act more reassuring to avoid it, if he stopped pushing him away.
(Of course, personally I'd use my knowledge of what he truly wants to manipulate him. By pointing out that he won't get anything 'real' if he keeps it locked up. If you love someone set them free and if it's real they'll come back kinda thing. I like Vince, but the MC is an idiot.)
And why on EARTH would I bother to save someone else from dying? /facepalm.
....and instead of being grateful in a later scene, he actually tells the guy who's saving him to stop killing people... Idiot! >_<
I hate the MC. So, SO much.... >_>
IS there a happy ending with Vincent? Does this game have a walktrough?
It's a really complex game with many pathways. I think I'll need a map like in Particles of Reality to figure it all out. lol
i have only played one route of the demo but i cant wait to play the full version so i can hear the MC's scream SFX bc it scratches and itch in my brain <3
dude… i played the demo and became obsessed with vincent. Then i played the full version and became obsessed with leon! And that true ending legit gave me chills, i never expected it to go that way. The characters feel realistic!!! And the game itself is so well put together!! Props to everyone who worked on this game. Its really a masterpiece!
I LOVE THIS GAME!! I've been playing it for literally hours, and I WISH there was a bigger fandom for this!!! I hope the community grows for this game! ^_^
THIS WAS SO GOOD i literally spent all day trying to get all endings (i eventually gave up after like 3 hours and searched up a guide HAHAH) BUT THIS IS SO GOOD i loved the stories and the characters HHHH just saying i loved the true ending hello i did NOT expect that i was flabbergasted
Lovecore has always been one of my favorite aesthetics, and I've always felt drawn to games about the yandere troupe. Seeing this game appear on my feed just felt so right to me. One of my primary goals going in was to take notes on Visual Novels and how they worked to tell a story because I've begun working on one of my own.
I went into the game knowing almost nothing, only having read a few reviews. I definitely consider this a hidden gem. I think the story was phenomenal, even though I was practically screaming at the MC during some points. It was a fun experience that perfectly balances humor, romance, and horror.
Each of the characters shone brightly in their own way, and I really enjoyed their personalities and getting to know them. One review in particular about said commenters beef with Vincent stuck with me, and I felt like I was side eyeing him the whole game in some sort of friendly rivalry which I found fun. Leon was fun as well, as I've always found the childhood friends troupe to be so fun. I was constantly switching between the two on which one I actually favored.
"Brothers" storyline was heartbreaking, and I actually found myself more involved in the story and wanting to learn more. The MC was so silly and fun while also balancing the stress of his situation on top. Reme was fun as well, but I felt myself feeling bad for her at times. (There's not much I can say about the two without delving into spoilers)
Another thing I really liked was how the love interests were at least 18, because I'm going to be so honest, I always get whiplash when dating sims make said love interests minors?? It felt refreshing and like I could actually enjoy the story without giving the biggest side-eye of the century every time something suggestive happened.
I once again want to delve into the aesthetic and art of the game, because I heavily enjoyed it. the use of romantic colors and different sub-aesthetics were so fun with Vincents design being my favorite.
Overall, I really liked this game, and I cannot express how glad I am to have found it! <3
I played the demo a long time age and was so excited when I came across the full game, the story was amazing and the art was lovely but a little bit inconsistent but aside from that it was a really great game that was worth my time.
holy crap, i did not expect the true ending at ALL. this game kept me on my toes constantly, i didnt expect to get so hooked on the storyline. Also the little brother was always my favorite, but now that i finished the game i think i like his character even MORE. all the designs were so cute and i had such a fun time playing this game! (i literally made an account just to comment this) keep up the good work!
I finished the full version month ago, and I noticed that the background changed from the demo. I didn't expect the MC to be like that in real life because he was seen as a goofy guy, lol. But the moment he said, "my therapist told me..." and the fact that he also took medicine prescribed by a doctor after Valentine's Day—it was pointing to something, though I didn't fully realize it, just a gut feeling until we saw his ending. I was right!
I feel bad for the little brother—I wish he could have fulfilled his wish. I'm actually curious about the past while playing the entire game, like why he stayed with problematic Leon and about Vincent's playmate. I just read about the initial plot and now that tells why he stayed and how he appeared. It makes sense and big bro is really smart about his moves even as a child like what you'll see in those prodigy child in series haha. (Most in chinese lol)
I really enjoyed it, and I'm hoping to see more of the backstory since it ended with a "to be continue?." The art really grew on me—it's cute and well-drawn, with adorable sprites and CGs. I also liked the UI, and the sketch background is hilarious, lmao. I thought it was him (IRL) we saw in glimpses, but it wasn't. I felt bad during Side B, but the outcome was better in the end; at least we got to see his smile and worry-free.
The voice lines were okay, too, even if limited to screams. Although I could only hear Leon’s voice less than a handful of times and Vincent’s line, "I won't allow it," I wish we could have added a bit more, but it's alright.
As someone who enjoys yandere fiction, the VN plot was really good. I like that MC can break 4th wall a bit, his reaction is hilarious as fudge. I'm also curious about Morie~ I actually wish there was more screening of Reme though.
P.s. I did have some problems with a sprite and one picture during gameplay. It split the image of Uncle's sprite everytime he appeared and Side B. I attached example below.
Whats up chex (6) Kind of late but congrats for the release! I can finally play after the long long wait ♡
I'm yet to get the true ending (good god why the fuck you wrote so much and the lore crumbles are so tiny!!! I need to KNOW THINGS) But I'll get there! I love Leon! MC kept making me facepalm many times because he's a massive comical dumbass content. But so is everyone (and this statement is being said in affectionate way. Great comedy)
Saw you mentioned about DDLC being the inspo, but I like how it can definitely stand as its own solid thing. Bro fucking cooked with this one.
I love the game so much, The dialogue had me laughing. The interface was nice and clean, the audio also gave me a chuckle. Also the lovecore...I love itt. The different routes were fun to go through, and I enjoy the fact it isn't completely like your average visual novel. My favorite character has to be the brother and Leon!

well that was traumatic
I love this game! its long and so interesting,, i just finished getting all the endings and im really interested in the true ending and the "good ending" with newbie and mc. were we the yandere all along?! this was fun!!
i finished the game, its very unusual and interesting, i need more yandere bl games, hehe, thank you so much!
but i have a question, i wonder if anyone has answers? SPOILERS AHEAD
so i didnt really understand what happened between MC and coworker, like we saw some car accident, and i'm not sure who got hit - MC or coworker? or that accident never happened? also, right before the accident MC said he saw coworker crossing the road WITH someone, i assume it was that doctor he fell in love with? so was the doctor also there during the accident, or no? but that doc couldn't be there, because coworker only met him AFTER the accident, and fell in love with him, and that's why our MC got mad and jealous? and did that moment really happen, when coworker cried in the hospital holding MC's hand, and begged him to come back? or was it just MC's fever dream?
PEAKKKKKKKKKKK spoilers below;
lil bro and the newbie(mc's crush) kinda look similar the color of eyes and hair is it a coincidince or something else is going on
I THINK SO TOO! because in the B-side when you have a ton of suspicion points lil bro blames us for killing his bro.. which might eb newbie because we see him in a car crash!
eek- the screaming of the MC is soo loud and long- QAQ
btw anyone knows what the cheat code is?
The cheat codes can be found here: https://pumpkin-spike.itch.io/stuck-in-a-yandere-visual-novel-help/devlog/733700...
What OS are you using? Ren'py games sometimes flag the system cause they're indie games. It's up to you if you wish to take my word on that it's safe.
thanks
I just finish the game and It was sooo good
Not so proud to say i finished it 100% in a day bro 💔
Oh, and I forgot to say: This IS a good game.
I just want to bash in the brain of the MC. Just a little. With a crowbar. Repeatedly.
Sadly that is not uncommon when I play romance games. *sigh*
Hahaha, I'm glad you still found enjoyment. My son's a little frustrating 😂
The game guide is a bit difficult to understand, but maybe you know the answer to this...

Ugh. That's a pain.
My mind is not created to focus on more than one person at the time... >_>
I very much have a tunnel-vision when it comes to love.
You could use the cheat codes to jump to Part 3 or later, if you'd like to get to the endings easier.
Do choices matter in this game?
So far choosing to believe it's a dream still makes him think he's transmigrated to someone's body.

I give up....
I'll never find a happy ending with Vincent.... 😭
i have only played one route of the demo but i cant wait to play the full version so i can hear the MC's scream SFX bc it scratches and itch in my brain <3

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! *SCREECHING LIKE A PTERADACTYL*
ITS HEREEEE!!!! but im late :(
I hope you enjoy it!! 😂😂 Your comment made me laugh so much haha~
hehe I did! And I'm shocked, stunned, horrified, astonished, dumbstruck, amazed, and in awe. :)

Oh, that is strange... I'll look into this. Though I've never seen it happen during testing so I might not be able to recreate it.
Great visual novel, even if I personally disliked the true ending. You're a pretty dang good writer!
