Just found this demo and I really enjoyed it! I like how normal everything seemed until the moment you ask Liev a certain question. It was just the right amount of creepy and I love how the main character recognizes that he's dangerous too.
Oml I started crying when Liev started to talk about his problems and I was actually nervous in his "yandere" moments. This game giving me so much emotions! Waiting for more!
really enjoyed this demo!! liev is a very sweet and pretty boy,, however there seems to be more than meets the eye as to why his ''true self'' is like that (he's definitely mentally unwell and the convo we have with him in the gardens may be a small hint/reason as to why he acts like this) the switch up caught me off guard especially with how cute the interactions between the protag and liev was beforehand! i really hope that in the full release we get to help him get the help he needs and have a wholesome happy ending where they've both overcome their struggles ^^ while i haven't played much games with the yandere trope i do love how realistic the approach to it is!! i understood the struggles of both the protag and liev,, and i loved the realistic reaction the protag had when he started acting different (i would react the exact same way!!) very excited to see the ''dark'' endings with him as well ><
the music cutting off as well as liev's eyes turning dark was chilling!! the main menu screen and music changing after u finish the demo was a nice touch as well. overall a really good game with a lot of potential to be even greater. can't wait for the full release <33
I just needed to link this song, because I think it's a perfect fit with what the demo has showed me of Liev so far. Also, I really love the game so far! I really like that you're taking a more realistic approach to the yandere trope, seeing what it would actually be like to exist alongside someone with the issues and conditions that would bring about a yandere. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, and though I've personally never been quite as dependent on one person (an FP, or Favorite Person) as some others with BPD have (video games and general otaku stuff have always filled that spot for me haha,) I've always been able to relate to the jealousy and unconditional love and devoted loyalty sides of the yandere trope, so seeing someone treat a yandere character as an actual person with issues who could get better if they could get actual help from someone who'd be honest with them, care about them but still have expectations for them to try to be a better person is really refreshing, rather than just slapping 'crazy' onto them and calling it a day.
this is soo good!!! its quite hard to find yandere otome characters so I'm rly glad that this story's main love interest is one!! i really hope that in the future the mc sees him in a better light and actually falls in love with him..as im rly into yanderes its sad that MCs are almost always repulsed by them so hopefully its an option in the future (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
i love the art sm and like other ppl have said i rly like his switch..kinda gap moe if you ask me (//▽//)
omg his switch was so awesome!! maybe there's something wrong w me but i would've reacted more happily than the mc OwO .. i hope we'll be able to make more choices to lean into it and enjoy it, and i hope there'll be a "happy ending" for yandere lovers (ig i saw someone else call it a "twisted happy ending") .. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
haha I love this game already! The start was so wholesome and slice-of-life <3 Can definitely relate to the MC with their social anxiety aswell, had me laughing so much!
And then it just switched full on yandere-mode which definitely gave me a whole ass whiplash💀 How can someone look so nice and sweet but also so creepy and scary at the same time?!
The art is honestly immaculate and I'm looking forward to more!!
Edit: also forgot to mention but I loved how choosing a male gender changed some of the dialogue! I was honestly not expecting it to even get mentioned so seeing words like 'gay panic' and 'heteronormative' was really nice.
ISTG I DIDNT EXPECT HIM TO RESEMBLE MY OC HUSBAND IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AJFEBHGF VINNIGAN??? IS THAT YOU IN THERE????? SLJOFBSOBGOUBS DOWM TO THE BANG ACROSS THE FACE AND THE PINK EYES AND EVERYTHING HE JUST NEEDS LONG PURPLE HAIR AND ITS VINNIGAN OIERBHGFOB
anyway great game i love him because im a yandere liker
Just finished the demo and omg. THE TWIST??? It caught me so off guard when I saw the sudden change !! also the art?? amazing! Great game overall! tbh I almost forgot this was a full on yandere game bcuz of how sweet it was getting with the date lmao
The twist definitely made me do a double take just like mc, I was enjoying my time with liev before I had noticed his sprite had changed, ( I didn't notice sooner because despite this being a game I could hardly make eye contact hhh) also I would like to ask if this was inspired by ddlc because liev pose on the menu reminded me of monika.
Im so excited for the full game, I got like 8 affection points O-O
Haha, that was the goal! I'm glad you were enjoying yourself though, you know, before I ruined it... (sorrynotsorry) And it seems like I've managed to capture the feeling of what it's like being on a first date, which is good! I would probably be the exact same way in real life, to be honest.
Liev's pose in the main menu was definitely inspired by Monika's Act 3 CG, and I can see the similarities between that game and this! But apart from the pose and the sudden twist, this game is more inspired by yandere games/series, like Mirai Nikki, Sweetest Valentine, and Crimson Gray.
Thank you so much for playing! And 8 affection points is a good amount! :)
I just finished playing the demo and oh my god this is great. It's so good?? The twist took me off guard so bad which is hilarious, because when I played the game I know what I'm stepping into. But the start was so deceptively sweet that I forgot I'm playing a game with yandere themes 😂😂😂😂
The subtle gameplay stuff like disabled rollback is so awesome too, like it really makes me feel like what the MC felt. Like, did what I saw real or it's just me? Did the pretty boy just said that?? And then when you reached the end and the art on the menu screen changes from sweet-looking Liev to him looking like that is just *chefs kiss* 👌👌👌 very good
Anyways it's a really good game! This is going to my library list as I wait patiently for the full game :)
P. S. Is it a bad thing that despite what I see and all, I still wanted to help Liev? Like genuinely, the offer listening to him still stands yknow?? He's unhinged true but if he is really telling the truth before all that switch then he definitely needs a shoulder to lean on..... [guys i can fix him]
Hehehehe, that was the goal! I wanted to write an intro so sickly sweet that people might forget the kind of game they were getting into... 😏
Yay, I'm glad you noticed that! It's such a subtle detail, but I wanted to convey just how confused MC was feeling in that moment. And yes, I love evolving title screens!
Thank you so much for playing! I'll do my very best to make the wait worth it!
(And you're not alone, haha. As you'll find out throughout the game, Liev has, to put it lightly... a lot of issues that contributed to making him as screwed up as he is. The conversation in the gardens is only the tip of the iceberg...
In short, no, it wouldn't be a bad thing to want to help him. But whether your efforts will be successful or not all depends on the choices you make...)
I really had fun with playing this demo, the art style is cute, the character design is also great and at first this game fooled me. I thought this was just some normal dating sim visual novel *until near the end hehe-* I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover alright! Overall, a great game! Absolutely looking forward for the finished project. (>﹏<)
Haha, I absolutely love cute-looking games with a disturbing twist. And I'm glad you liked the art! I actually just updated Liev's character sprites, so I hope that you like the new versions better!
Thank you so much for playing! I'll do my very best to make the wait worth it!
I wonder if you use a personal social media site to update about this game,because I will love to post fanart or something like that so more people know about this game with hashtag for easy searching
Hiya! I think I've already seen you tag my Twitter @Ct4623, but yeah that's where you can find me! @lucialilium is my Instagram handle, but I don't really post about my game there. And I guess if you'd like to create a hashtag for this game (which would be super cool!) you could just use the game's title/character names (e.g. #pulsatiocordis, #lievlatane) and let me know if you do!
Thank you so much for your interest in promoting my game, and thank you for playing! <3
I really like how the menu changes once you finish the demo. I loved seeing how his eyes and expression changed as he gets more yandere too! The way Mc truly wants to help him is so cute and I'm determined to get that ending. I don't know if it was intended or not but after the first glimpse into the yandere I noticed that you can't rollback. It was pretty cool since it was like being put into the Mc's shoes wondering 'Did that actually happen?'. But then I saw you can see it in the history so I'm not sure if its a bug or not. Either way I loved this game and Liev. I am looking forward to the full release or next chapter (no rush ofc!)
And about the rollback thing! That was intentional, and I'm happy you noticed it! It would have been cool if I were able to remove that section from the History so I could really mess with the player's head, unfortunately I have absolutely no idea how to alter the History text...
I thought the glint in his eye was in my head but BOOOY was i wrong. Games that dress up as kind only to be stripped as slightly unnerving is my cup tea. Especially when i don't expect it.
the pronoun choice is soooooo funny like im laughing too much to even find it transphobic. "choose your pronouns" and then u get told ur male/female... iconic
Hi sunspotty! I understand that some people do not like equating pronouns to gender, so thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I'll put out an update soon that changes the wording of the question to refer exclusively to gender, since on the game's page it states that you can choose either a male/female MC.
I just finished playing the demo and I'm in love with the game! I'm genuinely excited for when the game is fully released ^^ I'm going to be constantly checking the page for any new updates
I really enjoyed this and can't wait for the full game to come out! Really loved how you write Liev, the build up, and how unsettling it felt the moment his yandere starts coming out. Also the way you drew Liev is so good, I catch myself staring at the CGs sometimes 😳
AHHHHHH thank you so much for playing T - T And I'm super happy that you like the art! I'll do my very best to make the wait for the full game worth it!

I JUST NOTICED THAT THE MAIN MENU AND MUSIC CHANGE AFTER FINISHING THE DEMO-----------------THATS SUCH A NICE TOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy that I found this game! Its so well done, and Liev turns out to be very interesting character. I am for sure gonna wait for more.
omg his switch was so awesome!! maybe there's something wrong w me but i would've reacted more happily than the mc OwO .. i hope we'll be able to make more choices to lean into it and enjoy it, and i hope there'll be a "happy ending" for yandere lovers (ig i saw someone else call it a "twisted happy ending") ..

OMG!!!! NEW UPDATES! THANKY YOUUU SO MUCHH!!!
He is so cute lmfao but that ending was quite the twist.
And I love it, cute games going dark is always interesting especially when done right. Can't wait for more. 10/10 lmaoo
Thank you so much, he looks very menacing here 0_0
I especially love the way you drew his hair! It looks very fluffy.

This was really fun! Your writing was very engaging and Liev is drawn very well in all of his sprites. You did a very good job!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!
I never expected that! I'm so thrilled for the full version! Keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much for playing! :D
I absolutely loved playing this demo
I adored the art and Liev, I can't wait for the full version!! I also made some messy art for Liev :D
O.O THIS IS AMAZING!!! I love it so much <3 <3 <3 He looks absolutely adorable in your style!!! Also thanks for giving him shoes ;)))
Thank you so so much for playing!
not gonna lie he caught me off guard a bit
I thought the glint in his eye was in my head but BOOOY was i wrong. Games that dress up as kind only to be stripped as slightly unnerving is my cup tea. Especially when i don't expect it.
Cant WAIT for the full version
Hehehe, that was the ultimate goal!
And yes, I love those games too!
Thank you so much for playing :) <3
The art was sooo cute! I can't wait for the full game (✧ω✧)
Thank you so much for playing! I'm so happy that you found the art cute c:
the pronoun choice is soooooo funny like im laughing too much to even find it transphobic. "choose your pronouns" and then u get told ur male/female... iconic
Calma lá militante,não deve ter sido a intenção dele/dela
girl whattttt. are things not allowed to be funny anymore?? are u the humour police or something 😭😭😭
Hi sunspotty! I understand that some people do not like equating pronouns to gender, so thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Man, I really loved this demo! (sorry for my english, i'm brazilian)
I'm in love with Liev!! I need the full game! <3
Thank you so much for playing! And please don't be sorry about your English. It's perfect!
I really enjoyed this and can't wait for the full game to come out! Really loved how you write Liev, the build up, and how unsettling it felt the moment his yandere starts coming out. Also the way you drew Liev is so good, I catch myself staring at the CGs sometimes 😳
AHHHHHH thank you so much for playing T - T And I'm super happy that you like the art! I'll do my very best to make the wait for the full game worth it!
You're welcome and I wish you the best of luck with the development! :D
