OH MY GOD! I finally sat my butt down after a hectic week and decided to treat myself into playing VNs. The first VN on my mind was Pulsatio Cordis (or PuCo as I see it shortened) and I decided, to heck why not?? It's already been a year since the full game was released and my comment was about 2-3 years maybe?
It felt so surreal to come back and actually finish the game, I still have that load file with the old art and it was like really nostalgic seeing it and remembering how much fun I had in the demo with Liev and how unstable he was in just those few moments of gameplay. I genuinely do love MC, like they're so realistic and brave to be in that scenario and I also love Liev's background on why he is a yandere and just how those factors influenced his life. It's a bit cliche what happened to him on a story level but the way you wrote it felt a lot more natural and not just character exposition dumped.
I will not lie, I had a hard time keeping the affection level at a certain range because I either scored a too low or I scored way too high (I did the latter WAY too often lmao, I can't help it, I wanna suffocate Liev with all the hugs he deserves!) but it was so worth it to get the true ending and seeing actual honest to gods hope in living a "normal" life with your yandere!
I legitimately couldn't put myself through Ending 4 so I had to just leave it be. Maybe one day I could handle breaking Liev's heart but sadly today is not the day. But seriously, you made Liev's backstory HELLA sad like my gosh. I love how you sprinkle in new information throughout the dialogues in different choices, it made skipping parts difficult but you know what, I'm inhaling those scraps.
Another thing is that I love how Liev's backstory was actually depressing as hell. So not only was he a product of an affair his father (Pierre I think) but that he had to be raised by Vera (was that his mom or sister?) and the fact that he had to be drugged up through questionable medicine to appear "normal" when nobody was talking or loving him, had been abused by his "mother" and was treated even more severely after his sister ran away and cut off all contact all while his father just ignored the problem HE caused was sinister and awful. No wonder Liev is who he is today, practically a psychopath with violent tendencies and latched on to the only person who stubbornly reached out to him.
I have to say, I love how even with there being minimal blood or gore, the real horror comes from how Liev could somehow be normal in one scene and practically go psychotic in the next. How easy he can sneak in subtle threats of how he could overpower MC and the extents he would go for them without it sounding corny or overused. His psyche is like, goddamn.
I appreciate how MC came with the mindset to "fix" Liev and ended up going with a "let's help one another" mindset since they recognize that they have to be by Liev's side to assure him someone cares about him, I genuinely believe only MC could do this as Liev doesn't even consider other people human or even real. It was so surreal to even see that and fascinating in a way.
I love the story, endings, creepy yandere, and everything in between! It was so worth the wait and I'm intensely glad I was there from the beginning and able to see this come to fruition! Amazing job and I would love to see what comes next in the works whether it be a sequel or a new project, hope things go well in the real life and take care!!
I love the game a lot but warnings are vague, I wish it was a bit more telling. I understand why it was vague but I didn't know until the end of the demo that it included something else to use drugs. other than the vague warnings, I loved the game a lot, it was really fun to play. the art was amazing and I loved how the story progressed. amazing work :)
I finally got to play the full version and I LOVE THIS GAMEEE, it's really evident that a lot of work and love went into it (3+ years of work.... congrats on finally finishing it...). I really enjoyed every second playing it!
[Spoilers below!]
I think Liev is such a wonderfully written character! I love that Lucia doesn't shy away from showing that he can be terrible and actually does reprimand him in the story! I think it's also neat that he "can be fixed". While some would argue that it's giving wattpad or unrealistic romance, I would argue that it gives the reader hope that even "irredeemable" people can be redeemable if they truly want to change and be better. It's going to be a tough road, but one that CAN be taken.
Aside from that, I also really dig Liev's scary moments! I absolutely adore his yandere sprites! When it shows up out of nowhere, it sends chills up my spine lol
I'm defintely looking forward to the sequel or anything else from Lucia! No rush though! Good luck with it!!
I loved this game so much!!! It’s been a while since I’ve been attached to a yandere character I love Liev. I was actually caught off guard when he switched from having a sweet conversation with the MC to being rude to a service worker. It was probably the character sprites too. When Liev had a manic expression it was so different I thought my game was glitching. Which was surprising too, always left chills down my spine! I play these kinds of games a lot so I knew to expect a switch in the ML, but usually there’s normally signs something’s not quite right, but the date seemed so normal at first. I also liked how in the true ending there’s hope for Liev to get help, you don’t see that a lot with yanderes especially since the appeal is that they’re obsessed. But I’m really glad he has a chance of alleviating his paranoia
Wow! I remember literally years ago when the demo came out and I loved it immediately upon playing it. Liev is so cute and Quinn's actions/dialogue are so relatable and honestly kind of realistic to how I might act in their situation. I'm so glad the full game is done and that I get to play it <3 it might be one of my favorite pieces of yandere media ever. Ty for all your work!!
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 💗
