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.

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.
