I've only played one hour so far (and I was recording/reading some bits out loud so I only got so far with it- it's been a busy time 'XD) but I'm very excited to play more once I can! The camera movement throughout the game makes it feel so lively, and the paranoia bubble feature has me actually using the history which is interesting to implement more reasons to use that feature :D The characters feel really alive already too! I'm excited for more and to see where this goes :3 (and to play more of your games)
Once I'm done I intend to make a video with my recording, I wanted to ask if you prefer I leave more (more like a stream vod) or less (more like highlights of what I felt were the best bits) in the video?
Aaah thank you so much for playing!! I hope you enjoy the rest of this wild ride!
Honestly feel free to do whatever you want with the video, I sadly haven’t been able to watch playthroughs of my games myself due to anxiety =’( I will be happy to see Doce Fim in a video in any form!
First of all, I really, really love the art, especially the sprites, they look beautiful and go really well with the characters!!
Secondly, I LOOOOOVE the characters and their dynamics!! They are all very unique in their own way, and I really like how the dynamics between the characters depends on who we're talking about (for instance, Syun's dynamic with Kaoru feels more chaotic and teasing-like while Syun's dynamic with Lion is more calm, warm and even flirty at times.)
The characters all feel like real people: they're flawed, they have a life outside of the events in the story and some even suffer from very real issues like anxiety or PTSD. The conversations all feel very natural too and that's not something easy to do in writing.
To add to that, the story's premise is also very interesting! On one hand, you have Syun's internal conflict (which is already quite compelling in itself; especially since there are a few plot twists that you don't see coming). On the other hand, something very strange going on in the world itself: people are convinced that the end of the world is near. And, without spoiling the demo for you, let's say that the end of it has a HUGE cliffhanger that leaves you FLOORED.
And, finally, something that I think really, really shines in this game are the mechanics!! Sure, as a visual novel you have the standard choices, but they have their own uniqueness which makes them stand out from other VNs I've played in the past; especially in the way they're presented. There's also a fun phone mechanic where you can message the different characters and also scroll on social media for some fun easter eggs!
And last, but certainly not least, my favorite mechanic of all is the PARANOIA SYSTEM. Esentially, the main character, Syun, suffers from a lot of paranoic thoughts which are represented by text bubbles on the screen. And that's not all! If you see bubbles with yellow text... something very interesting will happen.
I'm super invested in this story and its characters. It's only the demo and yet a lot of the characters, especially Syun, have really resonated with me.
I'm really looking forward to the full-version; thank you for making such a cool game!!
As of currently, I haven't reached the other part of the game yet but this visual novel stood out to me the most because of the unique UI in the choices (It doesn't have the square text box in the middle), the camerawork and the first visual novel I have played where the history feature is important to the game. I would comment on the story but I'm pretty sure I'm only in the beginning of the game so I will probably make a followup reply after I finish the story.
I really loved the game! The characters feel real, they have a lot of depth. Another great addition to the series (O-O, lake appeared!)
Rikka is so awesome, I wish I could be cheerful like her!
Syun is very handsome... His smile is so heartwarming
Komi reminds me tulpamancy is apparently a thing? I'd like to see Luz's thoughts on that. Voice of Komi: Angel Haven Rey. Really... Did you choose the VA cuz of the name, Meiri, be honest
Lion is actually so cool!? I love him saying "I can see just fine without glasses" cuz it's the same cope I say (in reality, we are both batshit blind)
Kie is literally painted like a brazilian flag what the hell. His and Syuns freaks match!
Luz is... Thank you for the decision to voice act her saying "princess". (hope the VA is not reading this...)
The details of the VN are really good. The changing fonts, changing dialogue boxes... Those details all are so good!
Jumbled mess of incoherence:
Rikka's smile is so cute!!! She has a seal face! She's uwuing in real life!!1! (Is she fifty though?)
Rikka made me remember "I was a teenage exocolonist" and when I checked... It's cuz the protag of that one has blue hair with a yellow strand... Damn, my brain be going places.
I find it funny how the whole path of Syun traveling is shown when he goes out. Also, the transitions are really nice
I relate to @ponfusedtranslator, except I am @happytranslator (Fun fact, one day I sent an email to sadtranslator, angrytranslator, all the ones whose gmail actually existed. I haven't heard back just yet!)
I love the social media so much... Miki Mochipeeve... Meredith Gay...
Lion's whole route is...
One time I went to see the extra dialogue Luz had in the savefiles and she said "You're back again. Addicted to me?" and like damn, I got called out
Damn, the warm light at the afternoon of feb 26th. That was just so wow. Also, the goddamn song... Same as in terasene, her light. Ah, remembering was really nice
I danced the macarena while looking at the mirror and whispering komi just for funzies, you know, and then... "-mi komi"(read in portuguese)... Fell right in that trap, I did
This looks really funny:
Syun is actually... pretty hot, appearance-wise
The CG of the club's anniversary here in this page scares me? It should reassure me, but I don't believe you, not one bit (Low trust meter)
is the book-giving girl a reference to anything?
Typos (my love language is pointing out typos. No, but yeah this is me showing appreciation, sorry if it's weird):
(Btw, maybe you fixed some of these or maybe I'm wrong about some of these. Sorry if anything! It hardly matters since it's still the demo)
The whole thing with Kie's small picture can be seen if you go to any of his phone messages and check history right afterwards!
The thought shows "shouldn't be here", yet the history says "Shuldn't be here"??? (right after "(Maybe the contest is a bust. No one signed up?)
"She always knnows what I'm thinking" two "n"s
"If it's the heath death of the universe" heat
"Luz is the everyone listens to..." the one
"Lion made those! He could make animal any Rikka asked for." any animal
"The dramatic scenarios she painting were far from reality" she was painting
"Her questions did make me a think, though" me think
"and moments where I thought I was about to relive the plast." past
"just delete it at all already" it all
"The members of the have been understanding," the group
"I heave a feeling I knew what Lion means." have
"I went from living in my room with little to not human contact to going out" little to no
"Why is that my own voice sounds so far away?" is it
When Syun is thinking "... a Kamige. And he's a creative writing student. So...!" Didn't you mean a nukige? Or did you want to spare the ignorant one from searching on google and finding weird stuff
Makes sense Rikka is hearing a humming:
(Creepy Komi also happens with Luz)
Right after "You take your dates to bridges?/" Rikka's sprite jumps or something. (in the trust convo)
"Her questions did make me a think, though"
Luz's route (gotta love her Minas Gerais notebook): (Komi wha-) "I understand how your guilt must be weighting on you" not weighing? "needs warning, ho cancels last minute, and makes everything just a little more complicated" ho? who? "I know exactly that people think of me" Factually correct. Did you mean "what" instead of "that"? "giving away nothing our the previous interaction" "An one bedroom, one bathroom apartment" Apparently, it's "A one" cuz of phonemes??? I got so conflicted with this one
Lion's route:
"As Lion glanced at the phone, reality intruded, and a gasp escaped him lips"
"I want to tell his where, but a bone-chilling"
"I told his about the stories and projects I began" Why are these pronouns switched?
Hoy-hoy, boa noite! C-could you gimme a lil hint... I somehow can't get Luz's route. Are there some really specific conditions I must meet? (The fact the DockDock joke changes depending on whether Syun knows about it already is insane! I had but a slimmer of hope it would change, and it actually did. Wow) Anything else like that? I would not believe that in a demo such a thing would work. The attention to detail is insane
Also, Kie's small image on the cellphone isn't a file in the demo apparently. Maybe it's karou or something?
¡Que emoción! Sigo tus juegos y proyectos desde "My GF Doesn't Know What I'm Into" y siento que le pones mucho esfuerzo y amor a lo que haces, así que es muy lindo ver que este proyecto salga a la luz. Me encanta el estilo de dibujo que parece que va a tener, y los personajes son variados e interesantes. Me emociona y alegra que Lion y Rikka puedan tener una historia más allá y, bueno, supongo que ya siendo mayores de lo que los vimos antes.
¡Aaah! ¡Muchísimas gracias, eso significa mucho para mí! Quiero darles a Rikka y a Lion su final feliz 🫶
¡Espero que disfruten de la demo! ¡Gracias de nuevo!

it’s a very long demo!!! 🫶

Thank you Pri for the super sweet and thought out comment!!! 🫶🫶 It really means a lot, I’m super happy to hear that you enjoyed my dream project! ❤️
Cliffhanger? What cliffhanger… there’s nothing wrong here. Everything is fine. =)

Ahh sorry I just saw this!! Thank you so much for the video and for purchasing the support pack! I hope you enjoyed ❤️
I stay awoke half the night to play 😭beautiful story, creative game!

Ah!! Luz’s route flag is indeed bugged, I’m uploading a fix right now! My bad, it unlocks once you finish Lion’s or Rikka’s route. x_x
Which small image do you mean?
EDIT: Luz’s route should be accessible from the route select scene now!
Thanks for the feedback and the typo and bug reports! o7 I will fix them soon.
There are some mysteries that will make sense in the full game =)
Don’t worry about the cake =) everything is fine =)
O Kie é metade Brasileiro 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks for playing!! ❤️
