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 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
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"
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'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!
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)
if i dedicted a song for sissel it will be Desiderata from Jorge Lavin
Where the heck is the saves directory in the apk version of the game, ive been looking everywhere and I cannot find it 😢
I just finished sissel's route and it was an emotional rollercoaster keep crying and laughing though im getting the idea of that we need to finish other routes to save her, will there be options that we can not romance the other characters and just help them cause i cant bring myself to betray sissel
Seems Ngo5 Dik1 Giu1 Ngou6 also fits the credits for Sissel route (from Sissel's perspective).
Marry sissel!!!!!
does anyone know who makes/plays the piano arrangements in this vn and tb?
I wanna know too. They’re simple but still quite moving and the little leitmotifs really add to the story and atmosphere.
i actually have the midi files for some of the background music, add meh on discord if want: spike_rockruff
Dude, I want to play the other routes but I genuinely CAN NOT bring myself to go for anyone other than Sissel 😂
I can sooo relate
ikr he’s too cute
I just finished Sissel's route. It emotionally destroyed me. Please make more.
Update: Hitting 'repeat' feels like going for a genocide run on your second playthrough of Undertale.
but you HAVE to Repeat...
I could not do it at the time. I needed a happy conclusion after Weeks of dread :D
Real. Had to have a happy conclusion the first time around
Same dude
Will you continue to update this game? If you do, I and everyone who follows you will be very happy.
Shirokoi is focusing on their other VN but I'm pretty sure they will continue Repeat.
How many days do you think he'll update the game?
erm, not for months! try Temptation's Ballad, its REALLY good like this one! will make the wait way better fr
I love this game so much!! It has actually changed my life, I can't wait until Phillip's route it compete! (I love all three of them at the same time <33)
a very atmospheric novella, many thanks to the author!
Owen best boy
My friend: there nothing that can make me cry
My honest reaction:
(They cried and cursed me)
Yo, this VN is amazing I would recommend playing it to my friends definitely, but one thing I do wanna know is how the creator has been and what he's been doing.
They are currently working on their other game rn! Its called Temptation's Ballad! Highly recommend:)
Please work on Phillip's route next
This is just another comment saying that this fvn is amazing and you should definitely read it. I came here from Temptation's Ballad back in the day and love both. Sissel is legit my fav character in all of fvns with Cole in TB being a close 3rd.
I wanna cry right now the story from sissel router is a Masterpiece.
Just finished Sissels Route and would like to give my Spoiler free opinion here;
Before playing Repeat, i played shirokois other VN "Temtations Ballad"and if i remember right i commented on it that it was the best VN i ever played, well i guess i have to correct myselve.
For me "Repeat" is basicly a masterpice, i had high hopes after TB, but could not imagine what i would be going through here.
First of all, i'm not the very emotional type of guy, it is rare that i'm really getting angry, or sad, or do the very unheard thing of crying.
....
I cried way to much going through Sissels Route, not gonna lie, i had tears in my eyes more often than i could count, and when finaly the credits roled with that music in the background all all of that pictures of the story..well i REALLY cried.
The Story has alot to give, and took me the best part of two Weeks to finish. There is alot of "fun happy go lucky" moments, i laughed lots of times, but also alot of sadness, depression, dread...
and yes i think Repeat nailed the love part too, aaaand lot's of gay Stuff...(I'm not even gay...i think?)
I somehow thought reading before Bed was a good Idea, most of the Nights in the past two Weeks I was not able to fall asleep, because i was not able to stop thinking about the problems the charakters are facing. "Did i choose a wrong option somewhere? Is this really the right way? Why is everything falling apart?! ...I can't take it if another charakter would get hurt.."
Overall this Story was fricking amazing, and i cannot think of another Game, Book, Movie, Song etc that gave me so much Emotions, Joy, and Stuff to think about.
I did not looked into the other two Routes, and i guess i will take my sweet time off, before doing so. I can't possibly imagine myselve now playing the game and not supporting Sissel. Not that i did not like Owen or Phillip, these guys were amazing! The only reason i would like to play the other Routes is to get some Questions answered that are still there, but that can wait.
For now i will enjoy the sweet Memorys and Emotions before i might go and "Repeat"
Currently, the other routes are very unfinished, but hopefully soon.
and very is NOT a understatement lmao
Oh you poor soul
how do you play on itch
what do you mean "play on Itch"?
You download it?
A friend of mine has a chromebook. How does one launch the game with this?
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/chromeos.html
Thanks a lot. Now she has no excuse to not dive into the furry fandom.
2. Install the Linux enviorment and run it that way
3. Enable developer mode and install the Android build
Or just use Joiplay 😅
This is the Best one I've ever played, and Sissel I love you~~
All that moping aside, I will forever hate Echo on making me almost cry 2 fucking times. I just wished he 'lived' [(Or whatever the term is), (I know it's supposed to be a representation and an allegory , but still :( )]
This game is so good, I can't sleep for my own sake to hopefully see what's gonna happen next.
It is so full of emotion, that it made me cry of sadness, anger, grief, happiness and realization.
Somehow even able to show myself to some extend on how I wanna act and how I'm acting currently, more or less like sissel (I wanna be more like him and Euca).
This realization, makes me hope that this game will someday be completed so I can live happy and full of joy again.
Thank you for all your service, I didn't deserve such kindness.
