Thanks for playing my game! I check the spooktober tag so I actually caught the stream. Having the mc have kidnapped others before would have been a good turning point, I should have thought of that! :)
Truly spooked? You seemed more cheerful than spooked. -_-
Oh, damn! This one kind of yandere novel is one of the most intrigued game I've played amongst all the yandere novels for today. It really is scaring me. Good job on making it, fam!

Beautiful game, but one question. No Love?
First off, I think this game manages to stand out - And not just because of the reactions and replies to various answers. Nope, it's also well written from what I've seen so far and apparently delivers it's subject material without making it exploitation.
With this out of the way, I need be very blunt about something. And this is an honest, real suggestion/complaint with, and I MEAN this, no hint of sarcasm, irony or intent of shitposting:
Please don't shut out/gatekeep people with a high body count and/or sex workers.
When the question came up, I seriously sat down and started counting how many people I actually slept with, because why not, might as well.
...
"I think you're being unrealistic"
Fine. I'll subtract those from my times working as an escort because "it's just work"
"I think you're being unrealistic"
Oh come on. FINE. I'll subtract "work" AND those who were "only" oral.
"I think you're being unrealistic"
...
I came all the way here from a Youtube Let's Play I cancelled a few minutes in because I was so intrigued that I wanted to play it myself, only to be met with this.
Yes, it's fucking autistic because I'm a diagnosed fucking autist on the spectrum, but I CANNOT continue this game until I can input my very own, very real number and NOT be told that I'm being unrealistic. It IS very real, thankyouverymuch.
I'll even buy the game for a fiver if this ATROCIOUS oversight is fixed.
*TSK*
And no, I'm not -actually- raging in my seat about this, but I AM uncapable of finishing the game this way, and it DOES bug me.
Hey thanks for playing. I'm going to be real. I used that response as a catch all because I have to manually input the number every time and I just didn't want to do that over and over past 10. Thinking about it, I could maybe have added a way it just passes you but it wouldn't be able to differentiate between a high number and just any other input.
Personally, I don't have a problem with someone who sleeps with alot of people, I just didn't have alot of time and the accuracy of this answer wasn't a priority.
Anyway, this is actually good feedback and gives a perspective I didn't think about. Thanks.
Thanks for reading and bothering to reply.
Honestly it's not a big thing and I never considered that it was out malice or ill intent.
Just a train of thought/perspective that didn't came up during development, combined with the limited time and the annoying coding part, understandable.
So, I just gotta know if you are going to change something ( I could also do it myself if you can get me the files ), so I know if I need to continue watching a let's play if I want to know the whole story, since, sadly, I still cannot continue playing it myself like this lol.
And I'll be true to my word and buy your game if you do change it!
I have to fix a bug soon so I'll probably see what I can do to fix it. Either way the files should be in the game already.
39 year old virgin here. It seems totally unrealistic to me.
So you're a 39 years old virgin, and I'm a 34 years old superslut & ex sex-worker.
Two ends of a spectrum, both valid and real.
This is exactly why relationships aren't worth it. And this is the best case scenario, too.
I'm sorry for the dev(s?)... This kind of relationship comes from experience. I'm praying for you.... and that whack-job. 😅
I presume the MC is the whack-job. Michelle is actually really nice. I wish this visual novel had an endless mode.
Oh, I meant that the girl that the dev had a similar interaction with in the past is the whack-job. I mean, the MC is messed up too, but I thought that was more of a plot point only... Hopefully the devs have no experience of kidnapping!
I'd still hit ngl
Amazing little game. A 1 hour gameplay thingie never left such a huge mark on me. Looking forward any updates.
Hey, Developer! I have a Parasocial Paranoia Present for you!

-My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
I finally realized those aren't her nostrils.

Told her I like rhythm games, game spat this at me. She called me lame :(
Whoops! It's not even supposed to trigger that flag. Thanks for telling me.
Lol its alright. It was more funny than anything. I can just imagine I tell her I like rhythm games, she rolls her eyes, and just splits away from her fake body to just slither out of the MC's house.
she's like if aoi totono and saya saya no uta had a baby. the good ending is also surprisingly cute lol, the ending cg is really precious...
the large amount of unique art (and all of michelle's different sprites) is really impressive, especially since there are some animated sprites here. i'm amazed you were able to draw so much in a single month!
Ive never played you and me and her but I guess I gotta now.
The drawing stage was actually the best part, I basically had a formula down to drawing her lol.
This reminds me of the old saying, if you want to get over your crush on someone, just follow their twitter account. J/k, it's X now. Great game btw.
Great game, I was just hoping to get a unique response right after telling her I had a pet rabbit named Michelle. lol
edit: spelling error
I wish i wouldve thought of that!
I was really surprised by how good this game was, I'm not usually a big fan of horror games but this one just hits all the right notes for me. Anyways, I'm gonna go check out Matryoshka now.
I know I'm missing the entire point of the game's story, but is it bad that I'd be happy if this happened to me?
Great game dev!
I can fix her, honestly it could be worse.
I believe you.
Extremely based game. Love it. Also the pose Michelle takes when she's being snarky is absolute peak comedy and meme gold. I cannot stress how much of a gem this is, and I highly hope to see more of this.
I wanted to get with Justine :(
I really loved this game, the art is very pretty and I was pleasently surprised with the story!
The art style is so pretty! I loved it. The good ending is cute.
(had to make a account to make this comment) bro i love how this game is like so creative, its not like any other romance game, i love how the creator shows awareness to how if you weren't cute/handsome no one would truly love you for you. Even love at first sight, no one would just see an ugly person and say in there mind that they love them. I love the part where Michelle tries to be the perfect girl for you but in fact it just reminds the person thats actually playing that there is no one perfect for you but your gonna keep up making fantasies in your head, and then your seen as selfish cause no matter how hard she tries you just wouldnt like any of the version of her. Bro this change how i looked at life, thank you for making a game thats actually so fucking real(thanks to manly for making me know this game)
I'm honored you'd make an account for this, it takes heaven and earth to make me make an account. As a theme enjoyer, I'm glad you grasp the themes.
Tbh for this game its worth it, keep on making good games like this and probably in the future you can start selling your games to make some quick money
Are there any jump scares? I'm a total weenie
The closest thing to a jump scare is silent and doesn't have anything scary on screen. So I'd so no.
What about the part where she is bleeding from her mouth and eyes?
