This was fun but bro the british flag fade in and out 😭

its2 good for s2hort, i enjoyed it

AH♫ I had a lot of fun with this! Maybe it's my preference for "mad doctors" but I really liked Dr. Rose. Also I kind of like how short it was too since I like to try and find all the endings. Also, also, I really love your art style, Rose is a cutie♥

Short but good

(1 edit)

I know I said it already in my video (and replying to your comment over on YouTube, which reminded me that I hadn't commented here yet ^^;), but this was a delightfully unsettling experience. 


The entire premise is quite scary, and the fact that Dr. Rose has so much power over the MC (who is in a very vulnerable position) makes it that much worse. But I loved it. It's the kind of horrific scenario that I really enjoy in a yandere VN.

I really appreciated how you wrote Alastor, too. He's very charming but he absolutely does not come off as a good person, and I loved that even when the MC reciprocates his feelings they are wholly aware that what he's doing is wrong. 
...unfortunately, being the simp that I am, I have to admit that Alastor is a cutie. And I enjoyed the kissing scene a lot. It was actually fairly sweet in spite of the rest of the story.
I do like the absolute menace that is Dr. Alastor Rose. He's a very enjoyable antagonist/sort-of-love-interest.

I am greatly enjoying your VNs and I'm really looking forward to the next one as well!
Keep up the excellent work!

even though its short, i really liked playing it!!

Great game! I love your artwork, especially the more sinister Dr Rose in the bad ends; I also find the colour palette you used so pleasing to look at. 

I am curious if Dr Rose is the one who originally attacked us, since his infatuation started from a meeting at a coffee shop, not our admittance to the institution. 

Looking forward to playing your next game! 

Not me almost missing my ASL classes because of this game..

This yandere game is great and absolutely left me wanting more. All the endings are compelling,  it's definitely worth playing through to see each of them.
