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!

really well written!
i had idea for your you should put a gallery like tour other game for cool stuff just my comment on it
I love this game, these characters and this story so much ;-; I cannot wait until the other routes are as perfect as Sissel's
I've never cried and felt so invested in a visual novel like this before. It literally changed my life. This has become my new favourite 💚
I can't wait for you to finish the other routes as well; you've done an amazing job with Sissel, and now I can't wait for Owen's and Philip's! I wish you all the best, and thank you so much for creating a beautiful story.
Thank you for making an amazing vn with such a promising story. Can’t wait for the final result!
I'm always glad to see there are people who still do hard work with lots of creativity. I wish you the best of luck with the development 💙
I've started reading Owen's Route after Sissel's and I'm certain I'm going to need this to see this finished. I'm loving what you're doing with this, I won't say anything to avoid spoilers. Also my heart, and the music... I've cried a few times because of this VN. Love it.
HELP, i have been trying to get on his route but i always just get Sissel or P, how do i do it?!?!
Repeat was already one of my favorite VN's when I first started reading it, but the fact that you included Joey Yung songs in your VN's really sealed the deal for me. I actually grew up listening to Joey Yung songs in my childhood and teen years, so imagine my shock when I heard 世上只有 (my graduation song btw) and the song from The Hippocratic Crush as Sissel's and Owen's theme respectively. The first time I heard the Hippocratic Crush's theme song was back when I was 10, and my mom called me into the living room to watch the show with her, so I nearly teared up when I heard it in Repeat.
The song lyrics surprisingly matched the characters they were dedicated to, which makes me all the more excited for Owen's route. Keep doing what you do shirokoi! Your work is beyond inspiring.
A Thank You
Thank you for creating such a beautiful story. It has made me feel happier and more content than I have in a long time. The message I got from the story is: "Keep pushing through with your friends and loved ones, and one day, you'll finally get your happy ending."
This story speaks to me in many ways, so I want to thank you again for making me happy and reminding me about the values of life.
Thank you for the laughter and for the tears.
The song at the end, Mother-reprise....I need it on my playlist, but I can only find the instrumental version in the files
pain
Hehe, nvm, I found it :3
playing it on "Repeat" now :3
I just finished Sissel's route...I am crying
WHY IS JINNY NOT THERE AAAAAAAAAAAA
And the song at the end......I cant stop crying
I'm saving that song!
am i the only one who's waiting the phillip route ?
Im sure it'll be interesting ^^
Thank you btw for your work ,its my favorit vn (sorry my english is bad)
Me also want more of Phillip's route
Aughhhhhhhhhhh I need SISSEL and the main getting old or something lol
If Euca, Sissel, Owen, Philip, and Jinny were in the Temptation's Ballad world, which (multi)classes (and subclasses) would they be?
I'm guessing Euca and Jinny would be Mages, and Philip would be a multiclass Rogue with a Mage. I'm not sure which Mage class (on any of the three).
There's a mage class?
Classes are divided into two types: Mages and Physical Combatants
Physical Combatants include: Barbarians, Fighters, Monks, Paladins, Rangers, and Rogues
Mages include: Artificiers, Bards, Druids, Clerics, Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards
Aren't Paladin and Ranger half caster? And also, certain Fighter and Rogue can use spell.
Hey I just started the game after finishing TB and I am a huge fan of ur work, but I just wanted to let you know that in the first conversation with Phillip the dialogue about the side doors being locked and going together to the back door repeats twice, but with slightly different wording. I wasn't sure if you were aware of this or not! But I just wanted to let you know! Thanks for making great games:)
Thanks for the info! Could you let me know if you downloaded your Repeat file before or after August 4th? I believe I reuploaded the build with a fix for this issue already but I’ll check if it’s not working properly.
Sorry got not responding earlier! I just got so caught up in ur game, but I downloaded the game on the day that I left the comment, so after August 4! Thanks for your work, this game has become one of my favorite vn's of all time Sissel's route was amazing, and I am so so excited to see what u do for Owen's route!
Thanks for the info. I might have missed a bug then. Could you send me a screenshot of when you see Phillip’s dialogue going wack when you get the chance? No rush, but it’d be super helpful for me to find the issue. Thanks!
This was something i saw too when the update for sissel route completion first came out which by the way I was the and i mean the first one too complete sissel route as I went from beginning to end on a video in 18 hours which unfortunately got taken down by youtube even though I age restricted it so only 18+ could watch but you know how they are unfortunately but I do gotta say your novel was the best one I ever played in my whole life and I had something that I could relate with all the characters within the novel which I never felt before and it actually came close to being a complete life changer I am currently 18 years old from Mississippi and I watched a novel player of this on YouTube when this novel first came out and i knew when I turn 18 I had too play this novel which I am glad I did and now I am even trying to come up with a novel on my own so thank you shirokoi for making all the happy,sad and anger moments within the game I love them all and I hope too see more and when that happens I will play the whole game over again from start to finish on 1 video even if it might take me 38 hours to complete all routes so thank you again shirokoi your novel changed my life if not for the better as now I know I am not alone with my own problems I had to face during my childhood.
p.s my youtube is Fazed Flurries and even though my recording may suck cause of my bad phone I still record it as the novel was worth all my time even though my video was taken down but the experiences from your novel will never be taken away from my heart and I will hold you deer to all those moments so thank you again shirokoi. ~<3
I thought I made it pretty obvious. I've been sending flirty remarks your "way" for days now.
Thanks for the report! Adding this to my to-do list.
When I saw the end... I literally cried like a baby... Btw shiro... Can you end the Owen's route? PLEAAAAAAAAASE
Shirokoi is moving to his other VN right now, he will probably get to Owen then Philip because the Owen route is near a halfway point just have some patience.
Fuck it was so fucking heart wrenching. God, the option to repeat makes me fucking hurt. Due to how most people agreeing that timeline splits into multiple branches if different choices were made at the same crucial point, this creating new timeline. This would mean by choosing to repeat, we essentially abandoned that timeline Sissel and I can't fucking not be sad at that. I love Sissel so much! I've been playing since the start of the VN that I remember Sissel og sprite being the scrawny child compare to the hunk he is now. I don't want to abandoned him cause now there's going to be a timeline where Sissel will get heartbroken cause Euca disappeared. Though the world might did Euca the same with Jinny where any trace of him is erased while still not erasing the effect of their actions. Still, Sissel is the last person who needs this kind of treatment!
I'm hoping for an ending where they can converge or some bleed over like how some characters just remember little bits here and there.
To be honest, since the end game here is to save Jinny which would then enable Euca to save himself, it might just be that. I think that wishes are the key point here, I always did feel ominous reading parts where the wishes would call Euca "wish-granter". I mean, why would they call Euca wish-granter when wishes themselves are supposed to help people achieve their wish. So, I'm kinda leaning on Euca becoming some kind of god of wish to make everything that went wrong, goes right, maybe through the combined power of the wishes. Though, I don't really want this kind of ending, it feels sad cause it might transform Euca into a wish and be erased from the lives of the other characters. But I really do think memories spilling over would be a thing, Halley pretty much given us a clue when we transfer over to Sissel route B.
not just that but after completing Sissel's route and repeat again there is ne dialog that shows a bit of bleed over its small but the very start philip call the player by their name before they should have met.
Not to mention the dialog between Halley and Euca being changed as well.
Yeah I cried at the ending, along with the animation, and I cried when Jinny was forgotten.....I cried a lot
I'm also anticipating the Owen route but I'll be patient...
I genuinely cannot stress this enough BUT this is by far one of the best VNs I have ever played. The writing, the art, and the way characters are dealt with are SOOOOO GOOD! Usually I don't have strong emotions for games and such but this def made me cry a few times. Good job Shirokoi!
What route is canon? What you guys think?!?!?!?!
My personal theory at least for the first timeline before everything repeats is that the Sissel route was the first one but without the hindsight of time travel resulted in the first ending playing out.
My evidence is the picture with the whole group and the fact echo encourages the player to seek out Sissel.
its not much but Euca isn't the most preceptive person so Phillip and Owen's problems probably would have gone unnoticed.
None of them for the first timeline, I believe. I mean, there's like 3 or 4 "reminders" encouraging Euca to actually make that decision in time, so darkest history doesn't repeat itself. And after first one, time loop makes all routes canon.
Honestly this also makes sense for not imposing a "true timeline" for the story and the fact Echo forces the doors shut on Euca's "first" day, I would like to counter this and say that some text implies that Euca is just avoiding being alone with his thought and would be more active than that.
But overall we gotta wait and seen considering Shirokoi is like what? 1/5 of the way done? more or less depending on what he's cooking hopefully if we get another big update it adds more fuel to this fire.
I guess Shiro is trying that “all routes are canon” kind-of VN, like how Echo did. But I have a theory that the true route is being locked and can only be unlocked once you fulfill all the wishes in Sissel, Owen, and Philip route.
With the flower how they talk about the "forget me not" we can every well assume that one is Euca the player character and the flower say before the "forget me not" can be saved the others must be helped so yeah I'm sure that will possibly be an ending or the saving of Jinny either one makes sense for a conclusion.
i mean. based on that ending they're all canon euca just has to go through them one by one
A bit of spoilers
Honestly after playing the completed Sissel route can't wait to see the end of the story just to see how the title screen changes because seeing the small details like that for some reason feel so good.
Makes me wonder what the original timeline of the game looked like how did that play out? especially when considering all the hints we currently have of what happened.
SPOILERS Kinda
So pretty clearly coming to a timeline where Jinny survives is endgame, and dear god, I can't wait. The last things she did for her friends on sissel's route broke my heart and definitely made her my favorite character, so I hope one day everyone gets their happy ending.
I cried
AGHHH SISSEL!!! MAKE A NEW STORY ABOUT SISSEL!!!!!!
FOR REAL!! I cried so bad when It ended.. But u Gotta be more Polite >_<
spoilers about spoilers
It took me way too long to notice the scary amount of foresight in Owen's "amazing story", it's really cool way to handle foreshadowing. Even after rereading, I was just laughing instead of immediately realizing.
yall did anyone record the end credit of sissel’s route I was sobbing the entire time and forgot about it now I changed to an iPhone and I can’t download the game anymore 😭😭( I was on an android before but I sold the phone)

you did not
I did
I did Sissel's route first, it is so beautiful and heart wrenching. This game gave me so much anxiety at times but I also can't get enough, I also love the subtle changes you can see if you play a second time, and the not so subtle ones, it's so amazing. You would not believe how much I cried during my first playthrough, and I'm excited for the other routes to be completed, so I can see them in their whole glory! Shiro, this is a masterpiece, as is your other game, thank you for blessing us. 🙏🙏🙏
I just reached day 6, the VN is good so far.
I cant comment on the emotional side of things, since my emotions are abnormal and impossible to categorize. but I took some breaks from time to time to listen to some music.
I wish the creator financial success, he has made a great product as far as I can tell.
I haven't played since April of 2023 since I wanted to wait long enough for good new story content, but tbh, I'm just as excited to replay the game as I am for the new content, this game is a 100% masterpiece.
The way all the characters are presented in a creative and funny way makes me smile and really fall in love with them and their whole personality; every single character, from Mr. Dolores to Sissel has their own personality which makes the story so enticing, because you can believe and listen to some of the characters, because they feel like real people. Honestly, this game is my inspiration and motivation to make my own VN.
Thank you for the tears and memories I made while playing this game.
honestly, id love an sfw version of this. genuinely some amazing ass writing and i stopped caring about the nsfw scenes and just wanted to read more. the art is incredible too
NO IM NOT READY IM NOT READY
Honestly, this game is awesome. I never imagined I would find myself on a roller coaster of a thousand emotions. Sissel's route is beautiful (of course there are things that I didn't like because in my opinion they were too exaggerated, such as threatening a restaurant waiter) but the development of the characters was done very well in my opinion, and honestly I even cried when I completed the game. It was a great experience and I can't wait to play the next routes (you've now become my drug, great job).
Sissles route was amazing but at the end of it was so sad I cried,
Y'all I'm absolutely sobbing right now I just finished sissel's route and I'm in my feely feels 😭 absolutely amazing work shiro I've always love your work and I will continue to enjoy more of it. Also can someone tell me where to find the sound track at the end credit of sissel's route I wanna listen to it and cry my heart out.😭🙏

Hey, Repeat is so beautiful! I wish you all the best in your career. This visual novel is one of the best I’ve ever read! You and your team are awesome!
But then Sissel showed me "an" old photo of his "mom."
this is grammaticaly correct actually, at least it makes sense to me. might be a regional type of thing?
the scentins implies he is showing the photo
at first
a big thanks for your hard work Shirokoi , Sissels rod/story really is / was a roller coaster of all kind,s of emotions . and the music and the moments you have picked the right Themes during you playing the Novel the just give the right emotion for/in the right moment . so BIG THANKS again keep on doing the great work , and i can,t wait to explore more from Owen,s and Phillips ways / story,s
story so good it gave op a stroke
yeah it really is , i could fill the whole side with how much i love Repeat XD . idk how far you are with the story .and I don't want to spoil . the only thing really. lets just say the last day with Sissel is full with emotion,s( in my case i guess it was more for the reader /playerXD) if you are not ready for it .and not ready for the story to end in whichever way if you know what i mean
ngl the wishes in this remind me of stands. think about it only people with wishes can see other wishes and the wishes protect their users while making paranormal things happen. that must mean repeat is a jojo reference
You're a man of fancy culture I see... I thought I was the only one
It cannon if Diavolo dies.
the thought of diavolo being killed by a femboy furry or something like that is too funny
I initially thought it was a reference to Persona, since wishes are kinda like Personas protecting their users and there are different ways to summon them. But the Jojo reference makes more sense.
Personas were unironically inspired by jojo btw. But yeah, I also think wishes are more like personas.
