Major Spoilers (Maybe)

BRO THE SONG "Please Remember Me" FUCKING DOES THINGS TO ME OFMGGGGG WHYYYY T^T

Why can't I choose a Route plan

Just gotta say, Rou/Radcanine, I fucking love your VN, I remember watching your streams saying you planed on making one, and God do I love it, your amazing at all that you done with this VN, (I hate that I had no choice but to choose Javiers choice over Rou's) I seen you essentially from the beginning to now, just got to say, your doing great and keep up the amazing work! - SamuelTheBolf ❤️

Any plan for lewd side story about Monti or Magnus?? They are so hot 🥵

能不能做個中文版 拜託இ௰இ

Javier wasn’t kidding about the daddy, I’m going feral over Magnus right now holy fuck, he is SO FINE.

How large  is Theodore himself. I think I saw somewhere in the game where Javier said he was large.

Haven't played it yet because I saw morse code in the loading bar when loading the game. It says "Welcome, Theodore"

No clue what that means yet, but now I wanna read to find out.
Cool secret Radcanine :D

So I finally have time to read this VN again after 1.0 and I gotta say, I really like the changes done to the beginning. Less is more, the reduced inner dialogue and descriptions made the story felt less draggy, especially for an interaction-heavy VN. Imo, details should only be described when necessary, most of the environmental stuff should already be visible on screen so it would be redundant to visualize them through text. Focusing more on the story flow is one of the reasons why I love VNs like Lagoon Lounge, Knight's College, Chardonnay Romancia, etc.

Here's a few things that I noticed after finishing the current newest build(5.0):

1. When getting interrogated by the polar bear right after the cat fight, I feel like there's too much sentences used just to get the "I struggle to come up with words" message across. The same goes for the small interaction before reaching the bar after leaving the lounge, the back and forth between the MC and Rou along with MC's inner dialogues felt a little excessive here when the whole conversation doesn't contribute much to the story.

I feel like this is due to being immediately after 1.0 where the writing style remains unchanged. After that though, the story starts to flow much smoother and became more engaging.

2. This is a very small detail, after the MC woke up in Rou's room there is a CG, and during this CG Rou revealed that he used to be a bodyguard. In this instance it should be the second time that Rou said that he's a bodyguard (the first is during Rou comforting the MC) yet the MC reacted ("huh, really?") like he just heard it for the first time. Nothing big, just felt a little weird upon reading it.

3. Another small detail. During the power plant investigation, Javier told the MC that he directs the security cameras to another channel when doing so at the very first camera. Yet a few instances later the MC assumes Javier is turning them offline and asks about it, making Javier explain again. Again not significant, just a little weird.

Overall a very good and interesting read, the climax(this could mean in both ways~) moments are executed expertly and not applied too frequently(I do not like being constantly kept on my toes). While there are a few segments that could use more refinement, I really like the balance between interaction and inner dialogue used in the newer changes. Keep up the fantastic work, I'll be looking forward for more.

Some extra comments:

Rou's facing forward face still gives me uncanny valley vibes, but at the same time it's also funni, so... eh.

The Halloween extra is nicely written, too bad I do not like horror, especially jump scares.

I hope on the next build they adjust the save system and add more save bars for me to use cause 20 save bars aint enough for multiple parts of the stories that is interesting to reread. Love the vn btw!

Just wondering if i have to update the game, I downloaded it on Bluestacks, is there any way to save your progress? or do i just have to replace the app with the updated version and nothing will happen, other than that i really loved this game definitely rou, he's such a strict yet softie dude.

this is so good! i was skeptical at first; mysteries don't typically mesh with me unless they are written really well. but thats just the thing; the story is so good! i love how all of the seemingly insignificant details end up coming together. and its not in a jarring way either, the plot seems to develop very naturally, and i even think i've picked up on a hint or two that hasn't been touched on quite yet. the art is pretty good too, it has a unique style compared to other VNs which i find refreshing. the characters are unique in believable ways, and have personalities that work together very well. i cant wait to see what you do with Lawrence, he seemed pretty cool from the brief interaction we had. overall, i'd give it a solid 8.5/10 so far, cant wait to see what happens next!

I hope Theodore and Rou can get more... intimacy, not mean s*x but interact more. By the way, Halloween story very interesting. I love it.

I was wondering is Rou a self insert character since you call yourself Rou in your twitter and stuff? Also I'm really enjoying this VN the writing is great especially in that Halloween special seems like you went all out there.

When does the public release of build 4 coming out?, hopefully it will be just a month later 🤞🏼

*Trips down the stairs* 

 oh oh no I've fallen and hurt my leg U w U whatever will I do...

Amazing Vn! I love the world building and character design that you have set up for the story and I'm looking forward to seeing how this world operates and how everything will unfold. Good luck on the production of this game :)
