I was just confused that why when we in the "break up" route, why did he agree with it? Can someone explain his emotion or thinking at that time? Like, is he at that time no longer love us?
I love the BGM is so relaxing, and the character are so CUTE!!! Although in some option during inori route when you choose to return home the text immediately change to japanese when I choose english!!!
Thanks for your comment <3 I'm glad you enjoyed them!
As Cf said, you can see the site names that distribute BGM in the credits. 😊 Many piano BGM tracks are used in this game, and each one has a different creator, so I couldn't list them all here. Still, if you tell me the specific scene where it's used, I can check and might be able to give you the creator's name.
Loved the stories, loved the art, I adored the candy aesthetic and user interface too. I can tell a lot of love went into it, thank you so much for your hard work! They all have their charm but Inori was definitely my favorite, maybe in another life lol <3
Wow I was not expecting this game to get as dark as it did but my chat loved the boys so much it didn't seem to matter what they did LOL. Thank you so much for making this game and to letting it be translated to English, I appreciate it a lot for me and my community! 10/10 would let emo guy ruin my life again
Thank you for the comment :D I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Still, as written in the readme file, this game is not allowed for streaming videos currently. lol Anyway, it's great to hear that you and your followers enjoyed it, so it's totally fine 😊 Thanks!
oh I'm so sorry I did open the read me file but I missed that, otherwise I would have skipped this. I'm glad you're ok with it and if you want me to get rid of them I can! Most developers are usually ok with streaming of their games so that is my bad for assuming. We really did love your game though. Anyways I hope you have a good day, thanks again for this game!
No problem at all. I know the readme of this game might be too long.lol Since you'd have taken the effort to create a video, it's completely fine as it is. I might consider allowing the streaming videos in the future. Thanks again for enjoying it, likewise!
This game was strangely beautiful, but certainly one of the few visual novels I've experienced where I felt emotionally impacted. I'm not quite sure how to put it into words, but I enjoyed the changed perspectives with each route, and it opened my mind to the thoughts of the love interests we were presented with while also helping me sympathize with the heroine (who was admittedly quite pitiable throughout the Nougat routes). The music chosen for each scene only sweetened (haha so funny) the stories for me, especially the best endings, which I felt deeply conveyed a sense of bittersweet romanticism. I'd definitely play this game again, over and over. For something free, it feels like such a steal, and I look forward to any future projects the developers may conjure up.
(SPOILERS)
Review aside, Kei was definitely my favorite! Though, it was quite hard not to fall in love with him for obvious reasons. His devotion to the heroine made me kick my feet and giggle. His final two CGS were absolutely gorgeous, and I adored the painterly vibes they emitted as I felt the fit the scenes they were put into! Though his dynamic with the heroine is slightly unhealthy in it's own right, based off the 5B ending, I hope that in the future the two are headed towards an even brighter end.
As for the other two, Chihaya and Inori, I found myself to be equally intrigued by both. Chihaya's devotion to the heroine was quite interesting, and how his 'yandere-ness' was shown/displayed in comparison to Kei's made me raise an eyebrow. That said, Chihaya's design is really my type. He's scum, but his piercings and long hair really appealed to me...
Now, for Inori, he felt super mysterious! Unlike the other two where we could easily understand their emotions, he came off as extremely closed-off in spite of his cheery demeanor. This isn't a bad thing, however, as I actually found his mystery to be endearing!!!
Thank you for your comment! I'm really glad to hear you say that and to know you enjoyed the game in many ways. I'd be genuinely happy if you'd play it over and over again <3 And grateful for your comment on each character! It's so fun and interesting to read✨ Thanks again for playing and enjoying it!
A friend recommended me this game and I'm happy to say I've fallen in love. I've only played through sugary so far and have unlocked 94% of the events in the route...(idk how to get that last 6%). I fell in love with Kei at first sight, he's so sweet and broken and adorable, I cant help but want to make him happy! Kei's endings were so beautifully written and each one has it's own depth and impact, especially ending 5B. The way everything was revealed was done amazingly, in a meaningful way showing how significant mc is to kei and the reasons for it. Truly a beautiful game<3 I can't wait to play nougat! Thank you for gifting us this masterpiece!
(slight spoilers)I also hope that one day kei realises mc's undying love for him and shows his 'ugly side' to her, not that he even has an ugly side in the first place<3 He deserves to see that he's loved and cared for and that mc will always accept him.
Update: I just saw Chihaya-hes so finehdcbjsjck hes a douche tho lol
Thank you for your comment! I'm so glad to hear you say that and to know how you enjoy and like Kei's story <3 It truly made all the effort of creating the game and working on the translation project worthwhile to see how much you enjoyed it✨
P.S. If you'd like to achieve 100% completion, the hint and the event chart screen can be helpful. It might also be a good option to check out the bonus story :D
This game has my HEART<3! I’ve been trying to get all my friends into it, too! It’s so immersive, the characters designs are amazing, too! I love the extras, I’ve probably been on at least 20 dates with Inori-kun-…(Don’t ask) Overall, one of my favorites if not my favorite!
Thank you for your comment! And I appreciate so much for your recommending it to your friends😄 I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed this game (and dating Inori so many times!) <33
It’s really amazing and impressive, and totally beyond my expectations. Although the emotions of the characters are complex, the narration expresses them well. I enjoyed a lot experiencing different choices and endings. The BGM is nice too~
Thank you for your comment! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the game and its stories that much✨ (and also that you like BGM! A great thanks for bgm-creators <3)
Thank you so much for this game and the translation! I had a fun time reading it. The art and music are lovely. Even though the overall game is not long, Kei's best ending and Chihaya's entire route were really emotional ;w; I enjoyed trying to unlock everything, and I appreciate that you put hints in game as well, it made it easy to backtrack!
That said, I do have some feedback about a some things I ran into while playing. Spoiler warning just in case:
↓↓↓↓↓↓
While trying to get Chihaya's Ending 5 using the "happy" -> "ask" -> "continue" -> "accept" -> "return" choice path, the entire scene back at MC and Chihaya's home was still in Japanese for me (I'm playing in English on Windows 10). I remember there was also a single untranslated line in Kei's best ending (when MC was about to enter the theater).
Thank you for your comment! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed this game and felt the emotions in the stories. <33 And thanks for your trying to unlock everything! I'm glad the hint was helpful for you😊
Additionally, thank you for reporting the issues! It's so helpful for me that you gave detailed information. I'll check it!
Kei-kun ♡🫶😭, this is the first time i'm trying an otome game and boy did I get an impressive first impression. At first I liked inori but then I was like why'd u just kick me out like that 💔💔
It's wonderful for me to hear that this is your first otome game and you like Kei-kun! Thanks for the comment<3 Inori is Menhera, so he could't accept anyone who wasn't zealous about him (and maybe who is Menhera just like him)...
I love you Kei-kun, you and MC rly deserved each other. This was something I rly like in Otome, like we can see how the Li feel attracted toward protagonist, not just randomly love at 1st sight and this game rly described it well! All characters got depth, even our protag!
I remembered watching the 1st game playthrough video of this creator. This one rly show so much improvement!!! Like so So much, thank you for English localized version! I'm so gladful to play this game.
Spoiler!!!
I hate myself for taking Inori as my most favorite...lol I swear I rly don't want to play his route the most (at first) but after trying to collect all endings, he's the kind of menhera type I like(???), like no DV, just trust issue. He is less irredeemable than Chihaya but more harder to handle, but still Chihaya's design is the hottest for me, damn... I got a thing for dark-looking person with so many earrings okay? FUCK YEAH EMO BOYS (btw, Kei-kun is still the one who deserved Nozomi the most, like their dynamic and stuff)
Thanks for your comment! Exactly, I put emphasis on a reasoned love and a balanced relationship, so I'm glad you like it✨ And I'm so thrilled that the story has been well conveyed, thanks to Cf's wonderful translation. I think the translation project is a success, thank you. And I found it so interesting that you liked Inori the most (and for design, Chihaya.) Actually, I initially created this game with only Kei, but since I like somewhat jerk characters so much, I couldn't resist adding a bitter part.lol
WHAT, I thought this was Translator account not creator account agdajhgdhajagffg(this is so embarrasing omg)
(Fan mode activated!) Thank you again for making this amazing game!!! Both of u guys are so wonderful. Since having already witnessed ur first game, I kinda sus Kei-kun all the time even it was meant to be sweet sugary route, and Chihaya rly... got straight to the point lol. The more his story going, the worse it is... and it rly made me respect u about that, how both routes pararelled between each other so much, and both of them are the archtype of person they hate lol. Since Kei hated impure person while Chihaya hated nice guy who pretend to be good. The details are rly neat, holy shit!!!
Thank you so much for your further comment! I read it with great joy <3 I'm really delighted you enjoyed the game so deeply, thanks✨ And Translator Cf is almost like the creator of this game, as I couldn't have made the English story text this natural without her help. Many thanks again! (Also to the material creators, the game-engine software developer, the developers of plugins, etc...)
Cant believe I'm reviewing the game so soon after it published but it is such a work of art. The art style is a 10/10 as well as the development of the characters. Every single choice does matter which I love bc simply choosing one different choice from the previous run unlocks so many more cut scenes in depth of the characters. Each guy u can be with is so different not just personality wise but as well as the way they show their love to the MC. From the design, music, plot, and characters this is definitely going to be one of my new favorites. my personal favorites were inori's scenes and kei's true ending.
Thank you for letting me know you enjoy this game! I'm so happy to hear that <3 Branching is one of the most favorite aspects of the medium as games for me. I'm really glad you like it. Moreover I'm also happy to know about your favorite part! Thanks so much <3 And thanks again the great music materials too!
This is so good I can't get enough of it. I love how both Kei and Chihaya wants the MC for themselves yet the way it was conveyed and expressed was so different. Also like that we get to see each character's point of view. I had so much playing this, keep up the good work! <3
Really enjoyed this game. Art is gorgeous and the writing was top notch. I especially liked Kei's part and liked how you portrayed how much he was struggling inside :')
Thank you for your comment, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it! Also I genuinely appreciate knowing where you like of the story <3 This project was worth the effort. (And a big thanks to Cf for her wonderful translation <3)
Thank you for your reply and the confirmation again. If you could let me know your Windows version and the name of the PC device you are using, I might be able to get closer to identifying the problem, but for now, the cause is unknown... I'll investigate it.
i get a similar thing! i was playing the Bitter story on browser, and i got an error trying to achieve ending three, which was the only one i had left... it glitches at the choice where you "return home" from Inori's. So i downloaded the windows version to try to fix it. Update: sorted! it seems the last part to ending 5 where you return home, isn't wholly translated and it appears in japanese. maybe that's why the browser bugged?
All this aside, i am really liking this game and looking forward to getting all the endings! The characters are super charming, and i like where the stories go a lot.

I had this problem. At first everything was normal but suddenly this appeared.
Me too.

Thanks for your comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed them <3 And thank you for reporting the issue! It has been fixed in version 1.11.
The theme is so cute and detailed !!!!! I love the art and the piano BGM sounds so nice. Does anyone know who made the BGM?
You can search for the BGM lists on the credits. Otherwise, just search the soundtracks in the game file. :)
Just took Kei-kun's confession BGM there too!
Thanks for your comment <3 I'm glad you enjoyed them!

Thank you for the comment. May I comfirm which devices you are using? Currently, with the Win app, I couldn't see the problem you mentioned.
