I remember playing a rather old build of this, a number of years ago. Just remembered its name looking at some things from back then and figured i'd chip in after finding it. Glad to see its still going !
This being one of my first VN's made me very happy. I just finished Sissel's route and I have bawled on more than five occassions throughout. This story is so strong and I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone else.
God dammit Shirokoi, you've make a story so gripping, with such memorable characters that I'm actually considering buying those plush stickers so I can put them on my laptop (it would be nice if Euca and Sissel had separate stickers but I'd be lying if I said they weren't cute)
After finishing Sissel's route my only real criticism is that the phrases, "let out a breath he didn't know he was holding" and, "Knuckles turned white" are repeated frequently enough that I started to notice how often they get used. But that's barely even a nitpick considering that the rest of the writing is fantastic. Other than that the rest of my nitpicks are barely worth mentioning, and I imagine that they'll be fixed in future updates.
Also the fact that you're selling this game FOR FREE is downright criminal given the level of quality. Once this game is finished you better be selling it for what its worth or so help me god I will buy a million stickers to make up for the cost lmao.
(PS: Another visual novel called Mice Tea has a really cool feature where you can look at a flow chart of every route and major decision in the menu, and chose to jump in at those major decisions in order to experience every route to its fullest without needing to make a new save whenever you need to make a choice. I think adding something like that would be a huge quality of life change)
No shit, I actually started to get concerned because I was enjoying Sissel's route so much that I wasn't getting work done in the day! The story? Genuinely imaginative and interesting. The characters? Ridiculously well written and presented. The music? Beautiful (Especially 'Hanahaki-slow-piano. That quick E flat in the second repetition of the melody gives me dem feels every time lol.) Humour? Right up my street. Sissel? Christ fucking help me, I'm a little too obsessed with that cute, goofy lil clump of pixels on my screen
Overall, incredible job. As romance VNs go, I enjoyed it more than Adastra and, for me, that's really saying something. I'm looking forward to the update!
Suggestion:When u finish with all the routes,Each route has a piece of memories that Euca doesn't remember.When we find all of them we should discover Euca's past life & how remanent was made,where Echo came from and what wish did Euca make so that everything keeps repeating
Hey i love This VN Repeat its nice and i love the story keep up with the good work also i do want to know what sounds u use for the game,i like them and i would love to listen to it by myself?
I wonder what mc/player's past be like cause it doesn't really show,maybe just maybe in the next update we should unlock our own past through Memory land.....Just wanna know,my dumb brain is at it again.
Ps:Just wanna ask,after your done with the Route of both Sissel and Owens...Probably Philips route would change like add a line/dialog that if he ask Mc to help him,Mc Either have to choose if they like to Help or not.....Make them a different outcome when you continue Philip's Route.....Just asking.
Sex usually doesn't impact the main story all too much, since I don't want people to feel 'punished' for playing or skipping them. Enjoy to your heart's content!
Oh alr, thank you! I finished the route and enjoyed it! The reason I asked this, is because at the Gym scene on the visitors day, chosing to not have sex felt as the better choice for me.
Great update as always an amazing story from you and with this last update I think I am getting a good read on the player character and what echo might be as a wish
Anything to fix the crashes that i get after every 20 sec to 5mins of reading? Its sad because i have to repeat from my last save which sometimes it takes time to get back to where the story stopped when it crashed. And i have to load my last save which i cant use the skip button because it resets the progress i made throughout the story. I don’t want to use the skip all messages because i like to re-read all the events that happened after every update.
It might have to do with your device. I've played a game where it kept closing if you reached a certain point that was too "complex"(such as too many visual effects/sprites/other things at once overloading the app/program) for your device to handle, which causes it to close.
I said this in my comment, but I literally wasn't getting my coursework done because I was WAYYY too invested in Sissel's route. This is definitely my favourite VN at the moment.
Just finished Sissel's route a few days ago (or what's available at the moment) and really had a blast with this emotional rollercoaster. Aside from some minor things I can't complain at all. Every character feels really compelling and well thought out, with their own completely unique paths in the making. There are still many unanswered questions in my mind and I'm very excited how everything will continue so I'll be gleefully looking forward to future updates.
Though there is one thing that has been occupying my mind over the last few days and that I need to get off my chest. If you haven't played Sissel's route up to its current end, regard the following as a SPOILER:
I know Echo is just a side character but I wish you could have spend more time with him (I don't mean that in a sexual way). I just like him very much and found his unique relation to Euca (the mc) very interesting.
Despite the fact that the Euca has lost his memory of Echo, it seems that he was a very important person in Euca's life and it made me really sad and upset to see Echo go so soon.
Even as there sadly seems to be no way to save him, as Echo's existence apparently relies on Euca's unhappiness, I just wished there was more dialogue between him and Echo that would explore and develop their relationship more, like the scene during the meteor shower. This scene in particular was what felt like the only real heart-to-heart moment between the two. Many other times Echo just brushed Euca's concerns for him aside or Euca needed to focus on the more pressing matter at hand and had to disregard whatever was happening or had happened to Echo.
As he sacrificed himself, all of this and especially that there wasn't even a proper farewell brought tears to my eyes (+ the heart wrenching illustrations I can't get out of my head). For me it was the hardest part to watch, as when other major disasters happened it was either obvious (Sissel leaving the city), there where hints (Jinny dying in the fire) or at least a feeling or hope (Echo very suddenly getting torn apart by the Remnant), that it wouldn't end the way it seemed it would but now Echo's death feels final.
I just hope that there will still be an appropriate emotional response from Euca and some sort of closure, even though he is gone. (+ there are still some unanswered questions I have regarding him) After all, it seems that as the edelweiss said "Your story will not begin until you finish theirs." and I think Echo would be a not insignificant part of that, even if only in memory.
Just to reiterate: I had a great time with the VN. I hope it is clear that this one point does not reflect my opinion on Repeat at all, as the last thing I would want is to give a false impression. Neither do I want to suggest that I want Shirokoi to take the story on a different path than he intentions it to go. I can fully accept the death of characters (even if it hurts, but it would be awkward if it didn't), for me it just felt like that there was something missing, but maybe that's just me.
I would also be interested if anyone else has an opinion or something other to say on this.
Anyways, thanks for listening to the ramblings of an emotional wreck.
Aah! This VN Is Amazing! Its Heartmelting,Naughty And Funny! I Really Love All 3 of The Love Interests! Cant Wait For You To Finish! And Dont Overwork Yourself! Love Your Work! Can't Wait For Phillips Route <3
Hey! i've been trying the new update and it looks great! but i noticed that for the 3AM mopping scene Owen has his NSFW sprites unlike in the other scenes where he is undressed to sleep, considering the focus you give on making all NSFW in the game optional i wondered if this was intentional or not?
Hey there! So there's this "charming" fellow in Owen's route and i was wondering if we can still discuss "business" with him, heh.
That uh... that scene, i was simply awestruck by his "very" efficient method and manner of approach to capture the mc's attention, if you know what i mean.
That's why i'm here today to ask if it's still there in this current version.
*cough*
It sure was a pleasant surprise to "see" it in action, years ago, and it would be a shame for it to disappear forever.
Well I left with the impression that he never really wanted to be fulfilled at all. Also the camera rope around Echo's neck looks strikingly similar to the noose around the remanent's neck, so I think there's some similarity there. But if he was a death wish why would echo not just be a remanent? Idk man, I'm just excited to find out!
Yeah I definitely think that Echo, the Remanent and Euca are all connected. It would make sense too why the Remanent kept getting involved with Euca and his friends.
Is there a name for the title song? i'd love to be able to listen to it without having to have repeat just... open lol. love the vn and temptation's also, you got me into vns hella hard shiro and i thank you for that and am very excited for owen's continuation as well as phillip's route.
For the people tuning into the comments for news on a potential upcoming update:
Yes, it is coming, and quite soon at that [sooner than you might think!]. Don't get your various appendages in a very complex knot. Development has been turbulent, but progress is being made. Sadly, not much more can be shared, but fret not, this is information from a credible source. Hang tight, the VN is not dead.
Shirokoi said he's going back to his other VN "Temptation's Ballad" after finishing Sissel's route (thank the gods he chose Sissel) also considering Phillip's route is the least he progressed on i think there's little chance that it will be updated soon.
Been looking for this for YEARS!!!! Finally found it and time to get back into an amazing story! One of the only ones to get me crying and laughing within each session!
Please do continue creating this, but there's no rush! True the people would love an update, but I doubt they'd like a sloppily finished update.

How much is the delay between Patreon release date and itch.io release date? I’m jealous for people who already got build 0.7.9 two months ago.
Supposed to be a month but not a clue why it's not here yet
Just wondering, is there a browser version of the game, or is it download only?
It uses Ren’Py for the VN engine, and I guess you can run it on a browser.
Damn, oh well

Playing on a newer lenovo windows tablet, having no issues at all. ooc, what are you using to read the vn?
thanks for existing, if you didn't we would miss this vn, its my favorite vn at the moment (talking about Sissel's route)
10,000% agree

I think its intentional, as Owen does sleep naked and you also don't see anything NSFW directly.
please help me! after I downloaded the update I couldn't get into my load that was my old save! ;w; ahhhhh
"Same here, I'll be waiting on philips route to be finish."
Hey there! So there's this "charming" fellow in Owen's route and i was wondering if we can still discuss "business" with him, heh.
That uh... that scene, i was simply awestruck by his "very" efficient method and manner of approach to capture the mc's attention, if you know what i mean.

*cough*
It sure was a pleasant surprise to "see" it in action, years ago, and it would be a shame for it to disappear forever.
At the wish when speaking with Echo, wish for "OWEN CUT CONTENT"/"owen cut content"(can't remember if the spaces are included or not. Then enter.
changed this comment because the way I wrote it originally was very rediculous
I think i just figured out what wish the MC made when he was young........ I feel dumb for not piecing it together sooner.
What did he wish for?
"CAN ANYBODY FIND ME SOMEBODY TO LOVE?"
Major spoiler ALERT!
.
.
.
I think the MC just wanted to die.
The rope ends in a noose on the camera in Echo's neck. As time time move forward the noose get's tighter...
And the fact that the MC killed himself once...
Also, Echo's departure in Sissel's route kinda supports this idea.
Though thematically I think it could also be that Euca wished for Love or Friends or a family.
IDK but either way I can't wait to find out.
Well I left with the impression that he never really wanted to be fulfilled at all. Also the camera rope around Echo's neck looks strikingly similar to the noose around the remanent's neck, so I think there's some similarity there. But if he was a death wish why would echo not just be a remanent? Idk man, I'm just excited to find out!
Yeah I definitely think that Echo, the Remanent and Euca are all connected. It would make sense too why the Remanent kept getting involved with Euca and his friends.
euca talks about it like it's supposed to be obvious to the reader, but i am genuinely still not sure
So, bfd spoiler potential even if I phrased it kinda like this parent poster did 🥲
I melted down over the course of the edits in this comment lol. https://itch.io/post/6965474
That was 10 months ago and there was already a fair amount of possible evidence; it has only become more consistent since. 🥺🥺
I think I there were even some minor word changes a few versions back made a few double-entendres more clearly point to it. 😭😭😭
I remembering finishing this game years ago, is it finished yet?
no not yet
can we date echo? OwO
uwu
Nope. Unless Shirokoi is gonna make some very sneaky set of "you must choose these in order for this route to unlock" choices, then probably not.
how do I install the update?? ;w;
Thank you!
cute
Will every update break saves? T___T
I do the same, even save files for the sex scenes "^^_ but these last 2wo updates have broken them all...
that renpy for you
Score another update waiting for months for this,I want sissel upd lately
Is there a name for the title song? i'd love to be able to listen to it without having to have repeat just... open lol. love the vn and temptation's also, you got me into vns hella hard shiro and i thank you for that and am very excited for owen's continuation as well as phillip's route.
Are we getting a philip route update anytime soon
Sugar is bad for you!
I fucking LOVE owen >:3
i guess you love someone being "colorful" lol
lmao, indeed!

I want to mary Owen! I like this VN very much! Thank you for your work!
Amazing VN though I wonder when phillip's route will be continued. :]
