(This is gonna be long and might have some errors here and there as English isn't my first language so please forgive me for that, but I wanted to show my appreciation for what I deem to be the best VN I've ever read and experienced in my life).
I'm not the type to leave reviews, but I'll make an exception just for Repeat because it impacted my life in a way that's basically indescribable. I still remember vividly that fateful day, years ago when I still used to go to school, when I found Repeat completely by chance while I was randomly looking at furry games and, fascinated by the art-style, I downloaded and played it. I got instantly hooked and it managed to become a special comfort place for me, since the very first moment.
Ever since, I've been basically silently following every single update; updating and playing immediately on day one most of the time the public release was released, and the more it went on, the more I needed it. There was literally nothing I disliked about it. At the time I played it alongside some other VNs such as Nekojishi, Morenatsu (now Homecoming) and Extracurricular Activities, beside other very story driven games that were not VNs, and none of these managed to grasp my heart in the way Repeat did, not even managing to get close.
I don't know how it happened, but from the music selection, the art-style, the comedic timing and even the spicy parts, it had everything to become my staple and favorite. And so it did, it felt perfectly right in every way. It remained that way for years, up to this point, and I grew up alongside these characters, finding myself now here, at the end of Sissel's route, having a deep bittersweet feeling in my heart.
I've seen the storytelling and the art evolve alongside the narrative itself. I remember the scrapped content, when the sprites overhaul happened, when I first witnessed the characters moving around on my screen, and now...there are even full blown animations and most arts have been revamped as well as the writing. I was simply amazed and grateful to see such dedication go to the game that helped and is still helping me go through many obscure bits of my life. It was a joy to see it evolve, and it was basically a constant presence in my growth and life, one safe place I could turn to everytime I wanted or needed it.
The characters, alongside the rest, are what gripped my heart the most. Repeat's cast felt alive, real and relatable ever since the beginning of it all, and it made me immerse and on a level I never experienced before. The dynamics between them, every line of dialogue, it all felt thoroughly thought out, and it had a tangible soul in it. Even the comedy level was amazing, and this comes from someone who hasn't got English as his mother tongue.
This was especially true in Sissel's case, my first comfort character ever, and the strongest one I've ever had up until now, one I think won't ever be beaten in my case and one that literally managed to bring me to tears mutiple times after years of being unable to cry, (ending included), to really make my heart flutter with love, to arouse me and get a laugh out of me too. I won't ever be able to forget him, and I don't ever want to, he's going to be forever my most loved character ever.
I've followed Shirokoi on Twitter ever since the beginning, and every single time there was a post about the Repeat cast (which could be fun facts, more art of them or simply update logs) my heart always throbbed with joy (and not just my heart sometimes, if you know what I'm implying).
I'll keep following Repeat in the future, as I'm simply so engaged in it, and deeply care for every character, but as I stand now, Sissel's route being finished is a peak moment which holds immense significance for me, and I look forward to every future content that regards him in the future. I sincerely regret not having been able to fund the project, but if it wasn't for it, I wouldn't be like I am now. It just means that much, and it always will, and I'm not exaggerating.
It's a 10/10 on every aspect, and I cannot stress enough how much I want to thank Shirokoi for creating what's basically an experience that goes from the most wicked of supernatural happenings, to the sometimes funny but always deeply sentimental struggles of every character. As such, I greatly advise everyone who hasn't tried it, to download and play Repeat for themselves, it deserves everything and more.
Thank you Shiro from the bottom of my heart, for creating such a splendid project, going through its slow development and...for caring about it, really. It shows in every single step. I look forward to see it become better and better over time, but as it stands, it feels like a very impactful chapter of my life closed alongside Sissel's route, as Repeat keeps being there for every instance I need it most. My love for Repeat itself; Sissel especially, the developer and every memory I have with it and I'll be able to have in the future, will be always treasured within me until the end. Thank you again and again, I'll be forever grateful to have been able to experience all of this.
Aaw this really warmed my heart to read through. Thank you for the kind thoughts, it really means a lot to hear that my work managed to affect someone so much. I appreciate all the love and support you've shown me, and I hope my future works continue to catch your interest! <3
I can't stop playing Sissels's route over and over again while listening to "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" song by Billie- I can't stop imagining Euca singing it to Sissel
I know it's a bit out of nowhere but If Sissel had a Japanese voice actor in the game, it would definitely be Yuma Uchida. He voiced many male characters in anime that are similar to Sissel in personality.
hey, Thank you for your reply do you perhaps know the name of the artist, there are so many similarly named songs i'm struggling to find the one in looking for, thank you again have a great day/night
No VN has made me THIS emotional ever. Its been roughly 8 years since I've been able to physically cry, and Sissel's route has me reeling. I've laughed out loud, I've gotten anxious, I've smiled like I was with old friends or giddy like I'm being flirted with for the first time, that dumb smile one gets when reading a message from someone you love plastered on my face, I've felt so many emotions I didn't think a story could ever make me feel and certainly not to help me cry till my chest physically hurt. It may be silly of me to say or feel like this but I cant really help it, I haven't felt like this in so long. Please keep creating this amazing story and world, you are so incredibly talented and amazing that words cant properly express.
Can anyone tell me how far the progression of the other 2 route of owen and phillip? Also what is the decisive point where sissel route a and b diverge?
for the other two routes the progressions is miniscule with phillip the first day isnt even done yer and owen is like 2-3 days in i dont exactly remember :v anyways sissels route a and b are basically the same route you have to get a first to get to b oh and spoilers it contains some time travel shenanigans
oh my god sorry for not replying so quickly really got lost in the game myself, anyways you're welcome, i am rather pleased to help with something i don't have a clue about :P
i've been playing it for a limited time but i've come across the philip and sinning in the kitchen scene (it was fucking hilarious) i am wondering how someone comes up with this masterpiece
I love Sissels route so much! I really can't wait for the ending it was really fun and sometimes really Emotional I really wonder what's going to happen next I really love the characters but ofc mostly Euca and Sissel and I'm really waiting for the ending! or continuation for the Sissels route!! 🥰
Just want to say i have absolutely loved sissels route so far! I cannot wait for the ending, the story has had me laughing, crying and sitting at the edge of my seat wondering whats going to happen next. This story has been absolutely beautiful! I completely adore all the characters and I do hope for a happy ending for everyone(even with the impending doom vibes 😅)
man the game its one of the best visual novel i ever played, i made all routes like 3 times and i amost cry in the first time, please continue the game i need to see the end of phillip, nice job.
My friend and I cried a total of almost 7 times going through the sissel route we loved every moment of it and it honestly helped us as friends bond closer, overall AMAZING FUCKING EXPERIENCE and even funnier when your reading to a friend. :3
Said friend in question here, decided to make an account to comment because I loved it so much though a bit late. This was my 2nd visual novel and I absolutely fucking loved it, was originally disappointed upon seeing the Phillip route was heavily unfinished but got more than I could've ever asked for with the Sissel one and loved it from beginning to the current end. Cannot wait to see this one finished even if it takes years.
Finished Sissel's route (up to the public part) - well written, soul touching and has good nsfw scenes to boot. Led me to tears several times and has made me yearn for him an unhealthy amount.
Maybe they're taking the Jamie/Cove - Terry/Miranda trope where they're basically gonna be our wingmen until we are further deep into our relationship where we don't need external active influence, THEN that will be the time where P. starts to develop feelings. (My hc lmao)
Nah, you're not alone. Holding off on playing his route until it's closer to completion, eagerly awaiting that moment since he caught my eye when I first played.
I need owen content bro it's been like 4 years, don't get me wrong, sissel is a good boyfriend but like I also think owen is somewhat good just annoying asf at first
Please allow me. Would I be rude if I asked a question? I'd like to try creating a game like yours. Where do I start? I've seen your game work and would like to. Please try doing it. P.S. If you have lost any manners or done anything wrong, please apologize here as well 🦋 🙇🏻♂️
omg sissel is such a good boyfriend 😭😭❤️❤️ i love this vn so much! his route is makes me cry.. especially the music. thank you for creating such a good vn and characters❤️❤️❤️
the vn was top tier. unfortunately lots of great music that no software seems to recognize, and god do i love the music choice in both this and temptation's ballad
Thanks for the reply! I think some of the songs are piano covers of cpop songs. For example, I think the menu song is a cover of The Moon Represents My Heart by Teresa Teng.
This is a homosexual romance-based visual novel that lets you fuck dudes. The implication of this makes the statement "*straight* line" inadvertently false, as to nothing straight is happening here. A *curve* line would have better implications. Do better, smh /hj
Finally checked this out after loving Temptation's Ballad last year, and I have to say, Euca is probably my favorite VN protag yet. He's so delightfully unhinged, and he's not a total dumbass or wimp either.

I agree! The way you put your words is what I would have said also! But better!
I couldn't have said it better. Thank you for your kind words, I feel exactly the same as you do! T_T

Is this VN completed?
no
Jinny is best girl
can someone remind me which song was used at the end of euca's and sissel's date, while they were kissing in front of the burning restaurant
It was Little Something. I love that song, gets me feeling emotional.
hey, Thank you for your reply do you perhaps know the name of the artist, there are so many similarly named songs i'm struggling to find the one in looking for, thank you again have a great day/night
Hello, buddy! It's 林欣彤 - Little Something. You can listen to it here:
oh, thank you sm
You're welcome~

Hello everyone, does anyone know how i can extract backgrounds from this game? It's kinda urgent so if you can help, thank you in advance :D.
Can anyone tell me how far the progression of the other 2 route of owen and phillip? Also what is the decisive point where sissel route a and b diverge?
for the other two routes the progressions is miniscule with phillip the first day isnt even done yer and owen is like 2-3 days in i dont exactly remember :v anyways sissels route a and b are basically the same route you have to get a first to get to b oh and spoilers it contains some time travel shenanigans
I thought the a and b route different because the choice we make like encourage or discourage or something of that matter. Thanks for the info
I need more story and nfsw scene about Owen and Euca
Don't worry as soon as owen's route is 100% finished we can look at allll the nsfw scenes of Owen x Ecua we want
I am also 100% confident that Owen will have a bunch more nsfw scenes than Sisiel's so I'm also looking forward to it
i may be a lil bit dumb but, how do i play it? i downloaded the windows release and i cant find the executable, please its urgent im going insane
open the zip file and open repeat.exe that should be it i think if there is no such file delete the game and redownload it :)
I DOWNLOADED IT AGAIN AND I FOUND THE EXECUTABLE, i thought i was going crazy for a bit kalsdjkalsjd THANK YOUUUUU <3
oh my god sorry for not replying so quickly really got lost in the game myself, anyways you're welcome, i am rather pleased to help with something i don't have a clue about :P
i've been playing it for a limited time but i've come across the philip and sinning in the kitchen scene (it was fucking hilarious) i am wondering how someone comes up with this masterpiece
i'll be so bummed after finishing this game qwq
Can you add hide button in the next update? We can't see most of the stuff....
On PC,you can press "H" to hide them actually~
Freaky..
I love Sissels route so much! I really can't wait for the ending it was really fun and sometimes really Emotional I really wonder what's going to happen next I really love the characters but ofc mostly Euca and Sissel and I'm really waiting for the ending! or continuation for the Sissels route!! 🥰
Oh honey, brace yourself, you'll cry and you'll finally have the answer why Jinny was blotched on their first group pic🙏
Just want to say i have absolutely loved sissels route so far! I cannot wait for the ending, the story has had me laughing, crying and sitting at the edge of my seat wondering whats going to happen next. This story has been absolutely beautiful! I completely adore all the characters and I do hope for a happy ending for everyone(even with the impending doom vibes 😅)
is phillips story incomplete i really want to persue him
Phillips story is pretty WIP iirc
Hey shirokoi, when are you gonna push 0.8.1.1 from your patreon to here? I remember the period is usually about a month
Didn't play the game for a while come back to threesome. My prayer have been answered
man the game its one of the best visual novel i ever played, i made all routes like 3 times and i amost cry in the first time, please continue the game i need to see the end of phillip, nice job.
I know there is a discord server, I was in it once but IDK how to get back.
My friend and I cried a total of almost 7 times going through the sissel route we loved every moment of it and it honestly helped us as friends bond closer, overall AMAZING FUCKING EXPERIENCE and even funnier when your reading to a friend. :3

Great VN, highly recommend.
Am i really the only one who gives a fuck about phillip ? Like everyone wants new content with owen or sissel but nobody want new phillip content
I'm personally loving the Owen/Philip dynamic though as
impossibleas it might soundMaybe they're taking the Jamie/Cove - Terry/Miranda trope where they're basically gonna be our wingmen until we are further deep into our relationship where we don't need external active influence, THEN that will be the time where P. starts to develop feelings. (My hc lmao)
Nah, you're not alone. Holding off on playing his route until it's closer to completion, eagerly awaiting that moment since he caught my eye when I first played.
I need owen content bro it's been like 4 years, don't get me wrong, sissel is a good boyfriend but like I also think owen is somewhat good just annoying asf at first
I'm wondering when Owen's route updated 🧍♂️
Please allow me. Would I be rude if I asked a question? I'd like to try creating a game like yours. Where do I start? I've seen your game work and would like to. Please try doing it. P.S. If you have lost any manners or done anything wrong, please apologize here as well 🦋 🙇🏻♂️
search up beginner renpy guides
I have a question, the parts where you can write something, there is something specific you should write? and where can you see it?
is owen route gonna get any updates this year?
Im pretty sure it was finished right?
Bro has 2 days in his route and it was left on a cliffhanger too
omg sissel is such a good boyfriend 😭😭❤️❤️ i love this vn so much! his route is makes me cry.. especially the music. thank you for creating such a good vn and characters❤️❤️❤️
the vn was top tier. unfortunately lots of great music that no software seems to recognize, and god do i love the music choice in both this and temptation's ballad
most of it is royalty-free music I belive, I've heard a lot of the songs in random places elsewhere
Thanks for the reply! I think some of the songs are piano covers of cpop songs. For example, I think the menu song is a cover of The Moon Represents My Heart by Teresa Teng.
is there a guide for routes?
no, you just figure it out
It's one straight line my guy

does anyone know how to get both Sissel and Owen within the NSFW séance?
try to roll back and choose every choice.
ok thx for the advice
Finally checked this out after loving Temptation's Ballad last year, and I have to say, Euca is probably my favorite VN protag yet. He's so delightfully unhinged, and he's not a total dumbass or wimp either.
Aaaw thanks! Euca does drink the dumb bitch juice sometimes though😔
I love you
God damn you Shirokoi! You've managed to deplete my entire life's worth of tears.
one of the best stories i've gone through <3
