This just became one of my fav vs by far, the story was so good and interesting, the art was so good i LOVE IT. I'm excited to try all the endings but im lowk already hoping for a part 2 of this game. AND AGAIN THIS WAS SO GOOD, AMAZING WORK ๐
Hey! I have to say, your game is AMAZING. It took me a few hours to get all the endings (Thank God you made a guide, it was very useful XD)
But I loved seeing how everything unfolded, noticing the differences between the dialogues depending on what you were doing. The cgs are also very well done and I love how Liev is very expressive! Seriously, I wanted to beat him up for kidnapping me but when he died I was SO SAD! I just wanted to be okay with him and he didn't make it easy for me lol
By the way, as I was doing the endings in order when I got to 5 I loved pakas but then came 6 and I thought it was SO CUTE! And that final cg? <3
I would definitely play other games you release or watch more content like this one!
words cannot express how much i love this game. liev latane is my pookie wookie schnookums bear [/j] and i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE his characterisation in this game! i appreciate MC's gender options [laughs in gay] and the realistic depictions of anxiety and panic attacks! the point system is a complete throwback to oldschool otome games that manages to be relevant in the game's context. liev's characterisation is, as i said earlier, one of the highlights in this game, and it's astounding how almost every choice you make can change his dialogue [much like reality]. this is genuinely one of my favourite visual novels ever, and i really hope to see more projects from you!
Heya! Ever since CuriousCat got taken down I havenโt really thought about it tbhโฆ if you have any suggestions of good q&a sites Iโd be happy to open one up!!
I accidentally got ending 6 instead of 5 and i didn't even follow the guide i remember the options they weren't like the guide's O.0 ANYWAYS ENJOYED SM THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW GAMES I ACTUALLY LIKE SO SO SO SO MUCH AND I DON'T THINK IT DESERVED TO BE FREE tyyy :D
Oh dear, Oh dear! What a great game, I've played the entire thing in 5 hours and now I'm a bit scared to closed my eyes! Oh, and what a coincidence, on Valentines day I remember I downloaded this game! Love it, love it to the point of drawing fanart! I want to draw fanart so bad now, lol!
how do i get ending 4 T_T idk how to get the option "make a run for it", also sameish for ending six, what is the 'dont do anything' for rollercoaster choice?
To get ending 4, you need to have 0 or less affection points by the time you finish the rollercoaster section (so pick all the negative choices you can up to that point), and pick โDonโt do anythingโ when Liev is about to attack the bullies. (I just realised that I forgot to include this important step in the guideโฆ)
** MASSIVE SPOILER!! **
He will murder the bullies, at which point you need to choose โMake a run for itโ to get Ending 4!!
you have no idea how much I love you right now this is the best thing that has ever happened to me ๐ฅน a wiki page for my game is a dream come freaking true
after almost finishing the whole game...and many mistakes (i was 2 dumb and didnt see the ending guide till WAY later..) i can safely say it was infact worth my time :3 LOVE him hes such a cutie
Usually not a fan of popular guys, or nice guys, but I will concede that this one is cute.
The mc is cute too. I've never understood the concept of being nervous for a date. There's just so many other things to focus on --specifically the guy (or girl) you're on a date with, and maybe things you need to fix for it (like convince the restaurant to let you set up the table in advance with their favorite flowers and such, unless they take care of that headache for you). It looks uncomfortable, but cute.
A boring park. lol I thought it would be an amusement park. ๐
I'd love to see a bit more choices. Specifically ones that impact the story. You never actually get a choice at the pivotal moment. Like when he's actually asking you a question like if you want to go on a date or be a friend and so on. (Even if saying no would lead to an end because the creator don't have time to create multiple pathways, it'd still be better than no choice.)
I'm VERY happy that the game specifies that the mc have an anxiety problem. Because it means that her worrying and anxiety is there for a reason --and not because she's an idiot who worry over things that there is no point worrying about (in my opinion.) Anxiety disorders doesn't listen to logic. Healthy people can. And thus should. (Again; in my opinion.) It makes me less annoyed at the mc when she has a good reason for behaving like she does. ^_^
You can't even choose your own interests. >_> Although there are some choices after that one, which is nice. (Tho the language thing threw me off the loop because I speak 2 languages fluently, and two others on a minor conversation level, and one more well enough to find my way in a grocery store. lol ....and she actually -likes- her brother. Instead of considering him a pest. >_> The mc is just too different from me to really connect with her because of the lacks of choices.)
.....kind, brave and considerate... Name 3 words that do NOT fit me even a little.
So...SO weird character to play.
Awww.... Liev is super-sweet after he calls you that tho! ^_^ ...so of course the mc doesn't appreciate it. *sigh*
Weird, Weird MC.... ....she's being so mean to him too. *pouts* Poor Liev.
I like Liev more and more as the game goes on. ^_^ Wasn't a super-fan at first, but he improves.
He's a little blunt and over-the-top, but I'm guessing that's because the creator has not yet mastered subtlety in writing. It's not an easy skill to master tho, so I get it.
He's very sweet and cunning --but a bit TOO honest and open. He's not very smart.
Note to the creator: PLEASE watch Brandon McNulty's youtube video on good dialogue vs bad dialogue. Please. ^_^;
(Or, as parents like to say; "Some things you keep inside your head, and don't tell people." And instead show hints of it in the person's actions, rather than state it outright.)
He's as subtle as a sledgehammer.
And of course the ONLY choice you get is whether to lie or not. You never get a choice to actually accept him for the sweet and wonderful (somewhat homicidal) darling he is... *sigh*
Aww.... Liev is so adorable~ โค๏ธ
The mc, on the other hand, I want to wack over the head with a baseball bat. ๐ She's even bitching about how her date pays for everything ON A DATE!!! Sheezh louise! It's perfectly normal for the dominant person to pay on a date, and he's rich to boot.
*shakes my head* The mc is so useless... I feel like she picked up a puppydog from the pond, watch it run around and nip at her feet and tug at her clothes, and instead of actually teaching it what to do she runs away crying. ๐
Oooh~ And Liev is so strong and protective too. ^_^ ...well, okay. The knife is strong. Same difference. lol
Of course the mc doesn't apriciate it, and you get zero choice on how to react. Again. ๐
Speaking as someone who's studied both psychology and writing; The writer need some serious practise with both. Everything with Liev is so... over-the-top. It's not even scary, because it becomes comical when it's exaggerated so much.
(At this point he is, for some unfathomable reason, laughing like the Joker. Which makes no sense what-so-ever. Especially for someone who usually don't feel much at all. Which again makes no sense for a yandere, who tends to feel too much...)
Aww... I got the happy ending. ^_^ ...I choose to believe the mc was crying because she was so happy.
If these games had an mc capable of emotions, I'd almost pity the ones I play. Almost.
But I will say I am impressed at the creator of this game for having him use kidnapping as a last resort only. That's very realistic, and a sad rarity. ^_^
And even in that scene Liev is super-sweet. โค๏ธ (You did kinda bring it on yourself too, so I don't blame him -very- much for it. I'm sure he'll let you go when he can trust that you won't run away.)
He's sweet right to the bitter end. ^_^
Despite my nitpicking, I really did enjoy the game.
It could benefit from a bit polishing --writing wise, and most problems I have with it could be fixed with giving the readers choices on how to react.
This is wholesome! Genius! I can't believe I cried when I finally got the true ending ใปใ(ใโฐฯโฐใ).ใปใ Although I need to get 2 more endings to unlock but it'll be worth it.
I love how complex and well written they are, thank you for your hard work on this game. Please take care of yourself โก I'm looking forward to your next works!! >.<
I finally managed to get all the endings! Liev is such an interesting and fleshed out character, same goes for Quinn! Speaking of which, I'm ngl I almost fell out of my chair when i saw their mom saying 'anak' bc !!! my people!!
For more detailed rambling (SPOILERS AHEAD),
I honestly thought the True End wouldn't differ much from La Chance bc I was like,, how much better could it get? Liev and Quinn are both getting help and supporting e/o every step of the way! But then i actually got to the True Ending sequence and. holy cow. I was mega surprised when Liev started tweaking out since I was expecting same old - but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense for his character. And THEN I realized the implication that he wasn't being entirely genuine in the La Chance ending, and I really loved that detail - how Quinn's knowledge about Liev was sort of like a make or break, since as I see it, post-La Chance recovery would be a lot more rocky for him and may even fail. On the other side of the spectrum, the True End is so !! It really illustrates the difference between Quinn being unaware and Quinn seeing everything that Liev is and still living him in spite of it - choosing to stay and get help alongside him. And then him kissing their forehead after driving them home! It sort of contrasts his dialogue after the rollercoaster - he doesn't rush into things anymore, now that he knows Quinn is there to stay.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it ^^; but as a psychology student myself (which also made me fall out of my chair in the True End's epilogue LOL), I find these two characters and the way they react to different situations endlessly fascinating. So, huge kudos to you for being able to capture such multifaceted characterizations in a fictional form!
Overall, such an entertaining game! I love your idea for a sequel, but don't feel pressured to do it! Any future project you might pursue will be an amazing one. Thank you so much for making this!
Beuatiful. Just Beautiful! ฤฐt was worth waiting this whole year. Thank you Lucia Lily. You're awesome! ฤฐt was 10/10 (Especially the True Ending, ฤฐt made me tear up and cry. ) Also the character development and giving emotions were top tier! This game was your best I guess!?
I've been playing this game for hours (got all endings) and I gotta admit this is one of my most comforting games of all time. The plot, designs, artwork...everything is just so amazing!! Although this is 100% fiction, it feels so realistic at the same time. Not even cringe at all, with good writing, moments that make my heart drop / me smile / me feel heartwarming, etc. Y'all developers really did an absolute wonderful job. If I have a chance to play this game again without knowing anything about the plots and all, heck yeah I would. Once again, well done developers. ^^ <33

Going through all the endings was so worth it ๐ I got the true one as the last one coincidentally, and it was best
i love liev more than myself i SWEAR.

TL;DR- this is peak yandere fiction. 143/10
Heyyy!! Do you think you'll ever do something like a question wall or a place to ask questions about the game?
Heya! Ever since CuriousCat got taken down I havenโt really thought about it tbhโฆ if you have any suggestions of good q&a sites Iโd be happy to open one up!!
I think tumblr can do the job

ENDING 2 BROKE ME
I REMEMBER THIS GAME!!
I played it back when it was a demo - before I realized I was bi - can't wait to play this game in a truly queer manner and with it finished!!!!!
Oh dear, Oh dear! What a great game, I've played the entire thing in 5 hours and now I'm a bit scared to closed my eyes! Oh, and what a coincidence, on Valentines day I remember I downloaded this game! Love it, love it to the point of drawing fanart! I want to draw fanart so bad now, lol!

oooo amazing!!
At first I liked this game but when I left it halfway through and wanted to go back it turned out that everything was deleted
im so happy that the full game is out ^_^ it's amazing! my favorite endings were in hindsight and the true ending, so wonderfully written.

Thank you so much for working hard on this game T_T It was so worth it waiting for the full game since the demo really dragged me to love Liev sm
The way you wrote ending La chance and the true ending ?? Chef kiss <3 Would replaying it again
