Repeat (Visual Novel)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Repeat is a nonlinear romance visual novel about what seems like your average city and a fairly normal school. However, supernatural forces and odd individuals lurk at every corner. Will you be able to uncover their secrets? Or will their inevitable tragedies strike you down first?
There are currently 3 dateable characters in-game, each with their own complex backstory and mystery to unravel. Sissel's route is currently the closet to completion. Despite its in-progress state, Repeat (Visual Novel) currently contains over 100+ illustrated scenes!
Updates are uploaded here about a month after release on Patreon, typically at a schedule of once every month. While the game is completely free, if you enjoy my content and wish to support me, feel free to donate on my Patreon here!
I am the sole developer of Repeat (Visual Novel), with all the writing, programming, and art done all by my lonesome. Feel free to follow me on the following social medias if you're interested in my work! (Twitter) (Furaffinity)
Repeat (Visual Novel) has also recently opened a merch store! Shipping is only available in the USA, but check it out if you're interested! (https://shirokoi.e-junkie.com)
FAQ: How do I update my game after a new build releases?
This varies depending on what platform you're on. If on Android, simply download the new build and install it. It should automatically update the version of the game you have installed. If on Windows/MAC/Linux, simply delete the old Repeat game folder and download the new build. Your saves are stored in your local files, so they should be retained after the update.

I've had so much fun playing this game, currently I only went through Owen's story and omg the story is so captivating, waiting for next update
How to remove the text from the screen and leave only the background on Android?
Yes
There is so much to share and say about this VN. I played through each before Sissel was finished and then played again. I almost needed a tissue every now and again and will agonizingly wait for more content to be added. The story is wonderfully written and drags you along with the need to read and watch all of it. So much happens and so much unanswered from some of the tid-bits that are just hinted at some. I am excited and crave more sprites to be made for any and all characters, main or otherwise. So much emotion to show for each and I know it will be difficult to make so much more nuance for any and all scenes. I am happy to wait and will love any and all content that comes from future updates!!! <3
Agreed. Tho i only did sissels route got good endjing it seems
I absolutely loved this vn I made a big long winded comment below. It changed me. Anyways yeha this vn is amazing
I'm that guy who posted that super long comment a couple of weeks ago, saying that he will cover Sissel's route in the next couple of days (I did not realize how long it actually will be). I finished one ending (bad) an hour ago, and I want to tell you, Shirokoi, that how did you come up with this plot? It's so damn good. This is the first game that actually made me cry for real. I never thought I will be crying over a game, but I was proven wrong. You know, this is my first visual novel. I did not know that this type of game genre even existed two weeks ago, but I think I met probably the best ever game in this category.
I accidentally met this game, when I was sitting in a website with 18+ games, and this game caught my attention. I was wondering why people play such games, if they can just videos or photos, so I thought I need to try one of them. Now, I'm very grateful for my curiosity, as I fell in love with this game now for a completely different reason. You're doing great, Shirokoi! I am looking forward to see new updates for this game. I noticed that the last update was on August 2024, so it's been 10 months since that date. Keep expanding this game, I love it.
Will cover the second (good?) ending in the next couple of days (I wish this game never ended)
This game.. this.. story, this visual novels was not my first.. but I gotta admit it's the best one I played so far. I absolutely loved this. I cried, I laughed, got mad, got happy, felt all amazing inside, and related to some of this some of the things, i fell in love with the it all. I felt so many emotions. I feel like this game changed me in a way... a good way... im sad to see this.. end.. but im very happy that it happend and had And amazing ig happy ending... I picked sissels route. Feel in love with him too... thing is. I felt. I thought I basically had my own speech my I found myself I feel. This game and so many other like it. Furry vns. Have changed my life. And changed the outlook I had on everything, so far repeat was the best one I played. I cant explain the things that ive felt. The emotions... the feeling... the everything.. this game this story the, art of it all the music, the character's, it's all a beautifully crafted masterpiece. This game deserves so much more attention and praise... when I play these games. It's sometimes like im there... and tha main character... like im them... I learn... I grow.. sorry for thing long winded comment. I just enjoyed all of this. And showed me things. Told me things. Thanks so fucking much for this experience. When I play these games these stories and read them I can never go back and do other routes or other stuff. Cuz I felt immersion. And I hated when it ended. I feel so warm inside, also sad. But also happy. Sorry. And thank you. You made my day/night. Godbless. I have dome thibgs to think about and fix now. Other vns have helped me before. Idk whats about them. But.. there life changing for most. So again thanks. And.. I appreciate this.. 🙏. Thanks.. bye 👋 😊

after years of following and not anoth time to enjoy vn's i have, Finally completed Sissel's route !!! OMG i loved it so much so happy he got a happy ending finally!!!! the sweet choco bun deserves all the love i was in tears at the end with the beautiful ending animation the music works so well aaa, can't wait to play the other route's when there completed
SPOILERS ALERT!!!
I know this will be a weird question, but who is Jinevra really? Why, when her time runs out, does she disappear from all the characters' memories? Is it connected to her wish? Please give me an answer to this question—and also, where did Echo actually get the time to extend Jinevra’s lifespan?
As I understand it, it's her wish to be forgotten because she doesn't want others to be burdened by her death, or something like that
and Echo prolonged her life by taking it from Euca (that's why he got sick before the competition, and that's why he almost died when they flew home).
How do I submit fanart to you directly💔💔
Wow. I was about to try my first adult game with some plot, and encountered this masterpiece. Apparently, I haven't completed all of the paths, as I see some frames that I did not see in the game, but I am going to do that, because this game is SUPER well-organised and structured. In addition, I managed to complete this game without almost any porn scenes on my first (and only) attempt :) As it turned out, the creator actually made so many different lines.
I've red a couple of comments talking about routes of the main characters. I am not sure what that exactly means, but, if I am not mistaken, I took Phillip's route, as I saw his past, and, unfortunately, it was grim :/ I noticed how many people in the comments talk especially about Sissel's route. Is it that good or something like that? Whatsoever, I will figure it out. Anyway, are the other routes complete? Because my route has ended in the middle of the day 9 abruptly.
So far, I think that this game is great, and I'm looking forward to the continuation. Shirokoi, please, don't stop expanding this game!🙏 You are doing very well! And, finally, thanks a lot for this game!
Edited: I just understand after posting this comment that the words "Route Heavily Incomplete" next to Phillip's name meant that the creator have not finished that plot fully, while I thought that I missed something on my way before choosing the route, but I still picked it, and then got the words "To be continued...". I felt frustrated because of that, but then I realized that the other two ways were complete, so I will cover them in the next couple of days ;)
Also, Shirokoi, could you send the music from the main menu, please? I did not find it with Shazam, and have no idea what else to do to find it. It's so relaxing and satisfying😌. I fell happiness while listening to it.
The main menu music is Moonheart ('moonheart.ogg' in the game files)
Omg, thanks a lot! I am going to add this to my favourites :)
Hello everyone, please be aware that they is a bot spamming the same replies in other vns saying "Download Update Version here " with a link. Don't click it and report them.
Dev V4 is the one spamming this in other vns. You can check they replies in other vns/games and you will notice a pattern (when they joined or started to use itch.io and the time of all replies are within a minute or two from each other). And they seem to be replying to vns or games with the NSFW tag.
Thanks for the heads up. That poster has been banned and his links removed.
On the fifth day, if we make certain specific wishes to “Echo,” will there be any special storylines?
SISSEL ROUTE OMAY GAWDDD ITS SO GOODDDD 😭😭💯
I HATED IT. WHY I NEEDED TO LEAVE SISSEL!!!! THIS IS JUST UNDERTALE SHIT LET ME HAVE MY HAPPY ENDING WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOUR WORK PLEASE DON'T GO BALD. Just finished sissel's route and its bittersweet cuz i chose to repeat instead of moving forward, why u ask? Cuz am desperate to try and save Jinny if its even possible and i want to try and go through Owen's route this time around. I just noticed though, after succeeding a route (like sissel's) The main menu's display will change as Sissel is now looking at me (the mc) instead of looking at the horizon when you first start playing this. So i think when u finish routes, the characters (owen, sissel and philip) would soon be like that as well... I really do hope to save Jinny if possible, i dont care if i need to repeat for my whole life, LIKE SERIOUSLY I AM DESPERATE TO SEE THEM COMPLETE WITHOUT LOSING ANYONE😭😭😭 (rather lose myself tbh, more like the mc in the actually.)
I love Sissel's route, he is too adorable! I really enjoyed most of his scenes, a favorite of mine being when he tries asking out the protagonist with various outfits
IS THERE ANYTHING WE COULD DO TO SAVE OUR FRIEND THAT WE LEFT BEHIND AND FORGOT!?!? like the wish or something...? Cant we save her? ToT
Bro, when i watchdd the ending, i almost cried, it was so saddddd
Its very sad! Why cant we save her?
(I also cried bcuz its just too sad! Like howow cant I cry?)
If you hit “Move Forward” at the end, try starting a new game.
(you'll see why)
I picked "Move Forward" because pressing "Repeat" feels like resetting on a pacifist route on undertale
Well, it seems that “repeat” when pressed will do the same as starting a new game after “move forward” (well, I do not know exactly because I chose the same “move forward” and when I decided to look at the root owen saw that when starting a new game there changes and show something).
Sissel's route broke my heart :D
I wonder if we'll be having a threesome with the hunky butler in Owen's route can't wait for the new update 😆
sorry if this has been answered before and i missed it, but what's happening with this VN and Temtations ballad? one's being updated but is there a frame we have for when this one will come back in some way?
So, this one will be worked on layer when temptations ballad is done. I SO cannot wait!
Just picked up the game today and completed Sissel's route. Safe to say, this game did not dissapoint. Definitely up there on one of my favorite VNs ever. Every character in the story was such a joy to experience (except for Owen) and I loved the heavy plot points and fights and whatever time travel wish magic bullshittery is going on.
kinda reminds me of In Stars and Time actuallyOne thing that I didn't like though is Owen. He's just kinda a nothingburger when you remove all the horny. Maybe he's more expanded in his route, but I really can't stand him currently.Also I don't like the new buff design very much.Edit: Just completed the current Owen's route. It did made me appreciate his antics a lot more, and I like his backstory. Still not a big fan of big Owen though.
Also just wanted to mention the music is awesome, even if a lot of it were just Kevin Macleod's top picks.
Anyway, I guess I'll just wait until my second fav boy, Phillip's route is finished, which will surely be completed in the not far far far far future hopefully :)
FINAL VERDICT:
29 felonies by black cat / 5 gallons of melted white chocolate
Also can someone tell me what's the name of the goofy song that plays during Jinny's first encounter in the back of the school please I'm desperate.
he the song is called Grateful you also can find it in the music files of Repeat ( Repeat -Game-Audio) hope i could help ya
Thanks but that's the wrong song. I'm talking about the one AFTER the hand holding. The sillier one.
Anyway, thanks for the direction. I'll go try to find it myself.
edit: I found it! It's lullaby-guitar.ogg
Can jenny route please I beg
Jinny is a woman. This is a gay visual novel.
That doesnt mean anything. Shes still a woman. The game is gay.
Oh dang it
(i don't spoile anything specific but still i want to talk about the ending so if you don't want any spoil ignore my comment)
i ended sissle's rout and i'm crying my heart is aching so bad and i'm assuming this end would be in the owen's ending too and because of that i don't want to play the other routs but how their friendship is and how the story goes i got addicted to it and i want to enjoy it as long as i can but it's hard to get over this sadness
I have officially decided that I will put a link to this game in my epitaph after I die. This is definitely the best VN that I have personally played, certainly a better experience than I got from any AAA games.
God i adore this game. I cannot wait for more. Good job mate
Wow the way that owen route ended i really need more haha
Hiii... I'm still playing for my first time. I'm only on like day 10. I'm going Sissel route first buuut... I do have a feew concerns..
(SPOILERS INCOMING!!!)
So we literally have an option to fuck him in the shower EARLY in the game YET in bed he's nervous and it's his first time as if NOTHING happened in the shower :sob: why do we pretend it never happened
Also. still weird how when Jinny mentioned the clowns or whatever as a joke Euca doesnt gaf and doesnt play along with her but when its with Sissel he has 100% humor fake mode on. humor shift is craycray lmao.
Also. thy discord server. has no available link. please let me share my fanart for the game on there. i beg.
Update: Why is there a buffet at the restaurant but we have a waiter for drinks. idk if im nitpicking if this is offensive im SORRY 💔
Sissel is a mastermind for piecing all that and the backstory together.
...And yet we have Euca who is oblivious to absolutely everything.
Idk if ill find this out later game but if anyones keeping track of my comments. What is the remnants wisher. halley said that he only disappears if it is fulfilled or whatever. No, i hate spoilers so dont spoil me please if it IS in the story.
No, it isnt ideal to comment as I've not finished since no one else is commenting. But I thought I'd share my journey because at least one person read my comment and disliked it. so this ones for u sucka
I have a theory that Jinny's wish was to live more and beat her uncurable cancer or disease for along as she can and that's why she didn't have hair when she first met Sis. And that Halley gives power to Jinny but when she uses her power, Jinny's lifespan decreases. like Halley is giving/sharing 10% of her power to Jinny. (im at the part outside of the Seafood Restaurant on Sissel's first date)
(I will update on my findings and theories. maybe.)
I really wish phillip route had least little more to it
i dont think its finished yet..!
Hiii dear developer!👋
First of all, I'm not a spam mailing list or anything like that😐 ahem...
We are a team of ExGames translators. We would like to ask permission to translate your vn's from the original language into russian. A lot of people liked your novel, but due to the language barrier they cannot read it in the original. Our team is translating various furry novels into Russian, and in order for people to be able to touch your work, we are asking for your permission to translate. There are a large number of short stories in the list of translations we have, and we would like your short story to join it.
Our translators receive a nominal payment for translation, since the project is supported by donations from Russian-speaking readers. For translation, we use only publicly available versions of novels and, after translation is completed, we post them on a platform similar to Patreon for a period of 1-2 weeks for those who want to get earlier access to the translation. Subsequently, the translation becomes publicly available and any user can download it for free.
For each publication, we always add a link to the page with the novel, and if necessary, we can insert links to your social networks.
We are also ready to provide all the necessary translation files for their implementation in the official assembly, if you are interested in expanding the number of available languages for reading.
We really hope for a positive decision, as we want to further develop the Russian-speaking furry community.
Thanks for your time! Best regards, ExGames Translation Team❤️❤️
Thank you so much❤️
Nevermind, I might have to rescind my permissions. I've looked a little more into your group. Is it true that you use AI for your translations? If so, please never touch my work. I am staunchly against anyone feeding my work into ChatGBT for cheap translations, especially if you're charging money in any form.
I think the first red flag was how they copied and pasted their comment on to a shitload of VNs
Yeaaaah I should have been more diligent. I was only aware of this guy's AI translation slop after a few people reached out to me on Discord this morning qwq
I've had some other translators reach out to me (specifically a Chinese team) and they've been wonderfully transparent and active with their translation efforts and feedback emails. They've spoiled me with how good their work has been ;;w;;
Well, it would be difficult to describe the whole process for each author separately, so that they differ. That's why I copy the same message😅
No, our team does not use artificial intelligence for translations. Our team consists of well-selected people who have been trained by us to do translations. Plus, as I already said, our team has 4 editors who check the translated build for errors and machine translation. I am one of these editors, and I can assure you that we are very picky about the translation, all errors found are sent to the translator for correction and only after that we publish our translation
Yeah, maybe our translations weren't very good before, but about 2 years ago we completely reviewed all our weaknesses and fixed them. At the moment, we are probably the best team for translating furry novels into Russian, because I know several other teams whose quality is not so good (I won't name them so as not to ruin their reputation) Plus I can't be 100% sure about this, but we are the only team that tries to get permission for all the novellas that we plan to translate, as far as i know those other teams don't ask for permission for most of their translations. But as I said earlier, I can't say that this is 100% information, sorry
I want to apologize in advance for not responding to your messages immediately, as it is currently 1:40 AM and I have some things to do tomorrow, and I will try to respond to you as soon as possible. If you want to discuss everything in more detail, I have a twitter/X page, bluesky, discord and telegram, so we can discuss everything there, if that's more convenient for you. Sorry for wasting so much of your time, I just want to clarify the whole situation
I mean, while I understand your concern about all this, don't you think it's kinda strange to ask the permission for something so... Dirty, like feeding your work into GPT? Like, if they wanted to do something as shitty as that, they could have done that without even asking for the permission in the first place. Also don't you find it strange that people in the comments and your discord, who definitely know English and probably read your novel in original language, know so much about Russian translation? Like, they've been telling you it's AI and all, but was there any proof of that? Or all of that were just a simple russophobia? Or people from another translation team who just wants to make them look bad? Like, if they are as bad as everyone are saying then okay, fuck them, but otherwise... It's all baseless accusation.
He posted the exact same comment on many many visual novels in one day. even if its genuine, why? there are already Russian versions of Repeat. why are they so interested as a russian speaker to a vn they cant even read? my best hunch is "oh i speak a little english and this looks cool but id rather read it in my mothers tongue" but really?
I hate that this IS copy and pasted through literally like every single furry vn ever.
But thanks to your copypasta I now have like 90 more furry vns to try.
The best song in this game for me is "the moon represents my heart"
Don't you mean Moon Heart?
The original is the moon represents my heart
Dear shirokoi,
(Idk so imma write what i wanna say!😅)
During the first game's old sprites(? or older artstyles of the characters...) they really left an impression on me. Since the beginning of the story/game, they left really dramatic impression on me. I missed the artsyles of them before the present ones(not gonna lie that the new ones really looked hot...😅) But is it possible to see the old version of the first game? I kinda lost it on my last device that had your first work!
Still supporting and appreciating your work!
- From
Your fan(cringe....😖)
If you'd like there is a chance you can find playthroughs or videos somewhere on youtube of the old sprite. I havent checked but try that
I cant keep searching anymore... I got no clue where I can acess the file...😓
I'm putting the lyrics of Jpop songs I listen to in the context of Repeat in my head now for some reason (www)
An example I find particularly fitting is veil by Keina Suda (Fire Force ED1). I could interpret the whole song as a monologue by Euca (in the Repeat route). I'll try not to go through each line but only give some examples below.
笑えない日々を辿ったって (Even though I traced back the days without laughter): This could be Euca lamenting how however he repeats the days, there's just something he couldn't change.
あなたの言う希望だとか 夢に見た理想ならば どんなに冷たくたって愛してみせるよ (If by 'hope' you mean the ideals we dream of, I will love it however cold it may be): This line can have both a figurative (straightforward) and a literal meaning in the context of Repeat. The literal meaning alludes to how the presence of wishes is cold physically, but despite that Euca still loves those wishes)
どんなに繕ったって その笑みの奥を疑ってしまうだろう (No matter how I fix it, I will always second guess the meaning of that smile): However Euca fixes the timeline, he'll always second guess himself. Echo can be seen as the embodiment of his hopeful side, so that smile could be Echo's usual smile, seen in many of the Echo sprites, and the line is Euca doubting if he could do it even if he so wished.
Oh my god. Just finished sissel's rout and I'm crying. This is already by far my favourite VN. Im just so sad that I wont get to see Sissel or the mc together again.
(edited) Just a question and spoilers after you finish sissels rout and you repeat, Is there meant to be a different ending cause when I forwarded the memory part stopped during midway through A rout or did I do smt wrong.
there is some new text after a repeat small stuff that elude the characters remembering small pieces. That is what it was probably.
Im being so fr rn, you need to make Repeat merch! (besides stickes and posters) it wiuld be soo cool to have plushes and body pillows of the boys!
body pillows im dead :sob:
C'mon, you have to admit: it would be kinda cool!
I cant wait for phillip's route :)
How far is Owen's route?
I named myself in the game after MyGO!!!!! characters and this scene popped up lmaoooooo
"Please! If you leave me, I-"
A fellow MyGO!!!!! fan?!
I just recently got into it (and Ave Mujica) but yeaj. Currently I've watched all 13 episodes of MyGO!!!!! and up to the latest episode of Ave Mujica too ><
Putting on Haruhikage during certain scenes really enhances the emotional experience, I've found.
I should try that for myself, whenever I listen to Haruhikage I always cry and combine that with Repeat's amazing ability to invoke emotions I think I'll enjoy it more when I continue playing through Sissel's route again. Thanks for the idea!
Wait, I've never seen that yellow text before. How you managed to see the continuation?
How finished is Philip's route? If even worked on yet.
uhhhhhhhh its literally the least worked on one of them all and they aren't working on it anymore (at least until they have gotten done with Temptations ballad)
I see, thx.
Btw, is that almost done?
Lol no there are (I'm pretty sure) at least 2 more chapters and we are just now on chapter 3
Aw man, Oh well, at least were still getting cool stuff from shirokoi :3
Sissel's route emotionally destroyed me, i cannot wait for the other routes to be complete so i can cry even more! (Even though i would probably do Sissel's route and only Sissel’s route)
