I honestly don't know how to describe this game very well. It isn't bad, but it's certainly not a typical FVN. It seems very sporadic and some (if not most) of the events don't really make any sense (at least to me). No real context is given for (Greys, in particular) some things, the situations (Mall store running out of chicken, overly-aggressive PE teacher, other 'Japanese' teacher, especially the out of nowhere 'ghost') don't really seem believable or have no obvious purpose or reason for being there. I also didn't personally enjoy the stock music scattered about the game- not to say it harmed the experience, but some of it is so overused I could not take the game seriously when I heard it. I understand custom sound design is expensive and not everyone can afford it, I just believe it could have been done better. Feel free to disagree with me on that, though.
Another issue I believe is an issue with the game is that it simply cannot take itself seriously. I will admit that I am personally biased here in the fact that I personally prefer the darker FVNs, but even for a light-hearted novel it simply threw around far too much to feel genuine and interesting. Again, feel free to disagree with me here- perhaps that's just my personal preference on the scene impacting my review- but that is what I truly believe.
Now, I'm sure some of these things can be chalked up to "The game isn't done!" or "It's not far in enough to have been explained yet!", but frankly, I personally did not enjoy this game much due to everything I've listed. I would not recommend it to any friends searching for FVNs to play, as I just can't suggest a game with such 'strange', contextless design. If I had to give a rating out of 10, I could only give it a 6.5-7/10.
I don't say any of this to slander the creators of the game, but rather to help the team gain an idea of what they can do to make it the best game possible! These kinds of games make up the majority of my reading nowadays, and it hurts my heart to see underperforming games or games that only need a bit more love to be truly wonderful, and as such I'm very passionate about giving developers the best constructive reviews as possible while also giving interested players a good idea on what to expect from the game before playing. I hope to see this game grow well in the coming updates!
Honestly this might be a preference thing as I absolutely love the comedy in this game. I don't think the game is supposed to be taken too seriously.
I'd say the bigger problem is updates take too long and there's too much reworking being done. I just end up being able to play it once every say half year for a bit. Feels the plot not moving much is more because of the weird and slow update/rework schedule than anything else.
You can tag the pc version in itch with Linux support btw. You include the necessary libraries in the build. I can confirm that it works. Thanks for doing that :D
Because Mr.Kitty after a long day and needs his sleep. However, I can see how the night shift can be sorrow. If I may add, though night is scary, moonlight is also associated with love sometimes.
Depending on the route, either 1 or 2 days. The developer got hit with a nasty typhoon which made him lose his electricity and his roof so that's why there aren't any updates for a while now, just in case you were wondering. He's starting development again though, from what I've seen.
SPOILER WARNING! IF YOU WANT TO FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN, DO NOT CONTINUE READING THIS POST!
Shortly after the story starts, you'll make your way to the auditorium, where you're presented with a choice, asking you which way it is. Left or right.
'Left' ends up being the incorrect way, and you are then presented with two further choices:
'Head back' leads to you turning around and making your way to the auditorium, setting you on Rask's path.
'Keep going' leads to following the path until you panic and are then found by Maccon, setting you on his path.
If you , instead, went 'Right' with the first decision, you make your way to the auditorium, and are met with your friend, John, who has offered you a place between him and his brother, Tom. He makes you an offer to switch seats when awkwardness arises over your past.
Saying 'Yes' puts you on John's path, with him clearly not happy about you taking the offer to switch.
Saying 'No' puts you on Tom's path, which begins with an 'awkward' conversation.
So i love this game, even if its not finished it still gave me feels from the start to end of the update, i will look forward to more from this creator. Very well done and polished, 10/10
And it takes time recover from that. I live my life through Typhoos, sometimes it takes month to 2 months recover and it unholy drain life out of you trying deal with it step by step.
Hello~! I played the latest update on Maccon's route and I had a good laugh than ever! Maccon is such a sweet caring big brother~! The ghost scene was weird though... like... WTF?! lol. I have been following this VN since its first release and waited for a better update and saw mayor changes and improvements but kept its original charm of comedy and humor untouched. I'll look forward on the next update. 😀
At least I not only that felt that way lol. Some time I swear this Novel make me feel like it April fool but in good way of laughing of tears..... Mostly in Maccon route. Y u do dis? xP
Downloaded and tried to install it but it kept giving me different errors. One error said; "needed an internet", and another said; "App not installed", and another one said; "There was an error while parsing the pacakge". Anyone know how to fix this error?
1st, might be unstable connection, make sure wifi is running in good condition
2nd, "app not installed" could mean you need to free up some space (a lot, preferrably)
3rd, either there's another copy of the app, or your phone isn't compatible with the build. You can find videos on how to fix the "parsing error" part.
Hope this helps, but I'm not quite sure with myself ; w;
the new pic for the restaurant thing is not even the best i`ve seen so far in all these updates, the best thing i have seen so far is the Roomba, why give Jayce a normal home when he can have a Roomba, he truly was blessed by the gods
According to his patreon the game is on hiatus due to his house getting drenched in the typhoon, as well as a general lack of electricity to the house. So it's anyone's guess when he (and his house) has recovered enough to work on the novel.

hey does anyone know what monchi meant by token in tom's route????!!??
the dollar ;)
the dollar
hmm what do you mean
bruh this update was something alright. 😳
You can tag the pc version in itch with Linux support btw. You include the necessary libraries in the build. I can confirm that it works.
Thanks for doing that :D
how do i do that?
I'm sorry I didn't make it clearer that only monchimutt (in general the author) can edit the icons next to the downloads.
Is there anything else besides the bath scene in Tom`s route? And what token is mentioned at the end?
This VN never fails to make my cheeks hurt. I just wish it was longer :(
Also Tom won me over. I was foolish to be swayed by the meat friend!
Is the horror tag on purpose 😳
what happened in the bathroom.
TELL ME, MONCHI. WHAT HAPPENED AFTER?!?!?!?
Welcome back, Monchi!
wow i liked tom route
Is this fine?
What scanner is that? 9w9 Could be a false-positive. Happens sometimes with Renpy .3./
it’s VirusTotal, on browser, you could try it, it gives a graph as well with more detail, I find that pretty much all VN’s have at least 2
I hope it’s false
I just scanned by downloaded version and no viruses were detected. It should be golden~
TOM!! o((>ω< ))o
i loved this and cant wite for the next update
I like this game
why does the main menu changes when you beat the game?? it looks sad, I felt bad, idk why 😰
Because Mr.Kitty after a long day and needs his sleep. However, I can see how the night shift can be sorrow. If I may add, though night is scary, moonlight is also associated with love sometimes.
I think cause that final part was made for Halloween
This game...the name fits, and i love it lol.
How many days are there in this vn as of now?
Depending on the route, either 1 or 2 days. The developer got hit with a nasty typhoon which made him lose his electricity and his roof so that's why there aren't any updates for a while now, just in case you were wondering. He's starting development again though, from what I've seen.
That good to know he got back on his feet and move forward. ^>
Do you know when you are on the route you wanna be on? who is datable? im so confused because i dont know if im on Maccons route or Toms route
Your route is determined pretty quickly actually.

Oh gosh yes this helped me alot. thank you for making this easier for me. I had no idea what to do.

This is very fun so far. I hope you will continue it.

This one made me addicted to reading visual novels at 2 am.
At least I not only that felt that way lol. Some time I swear this Novel make me feel like it April fool but in good way of laughing of tears..... Mostly in Maccon route. Y u do dis? xP

Aight,

2nd, "app not installed" could mean you need to free up some space (a lot, preferrably)

Hope this helps, but I'm not quite sure with myself ; w;
Reinstalled and freed up some space and it worked! Tysm
Aye, you're welcome ^ w^
the new pic for the restaurant thing is not even the best i`ve seen so far in all these updates, the best thing i have seen so far is the Roomba, why give Jayce a normal home when he can have a Roomba, he truly was blessed by the gods
No need to rush monchi, pretty sure he has a lot of stuff to deal with rn
whats the music when youre in the imaginary scenes?
Cats on Mars by Yoko Kanno, it's also on cowboy bebop!
oh hey thanks!
Last devlog was 69 days ago. On the one hand sad face; on the other... Nice.
According to his patreon the game is on hiatus due to his house getting drenched in the typhoon, as well as a general lack of electricity to the house. So it's anyone's guess when he (and his house) has recovered enough to work on the novel.
D: holy moley that's some shit right there. Wishing him all the best and I hope he's able to get back on his feet.
10/10. I really love Jayce.
Uhm question? Who is this rask character I'm hearing about and if he does exist how do I meet him?
