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.
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"
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.
(also play temptations ballad if you like this game)
The scene where Echo effectively dies when his head is... well, you probably know reminds me of the dark guy with the rope on his neck. Also Having echo and euca both be 4 letter names and start with E, even if on accident, is very nice.
From what others have been theorizing (and I don't know if it's actually directly stated in-game), but Echo (rip my beloved) and Remnant two sides of the same coin. They say that they both stem from the same wish—Echo wanting to not be fulfilled, and Remnant in the contrary...
Visual novel this game is just great I don't know if there will be a sequel (probably not) but still the the drawing is top notch. I like these bed scenes so much, it's obvious that the author drew with love. And that art when Sissel kissed Euko, I almost melted from that cuteness;)
Why is this vn so good? Im sorry but the main charcter is literally me, and actuslly has a personality and problems and it works with the story because you learn none of it, and you piece it together and slowly lern that his cherry attitude is all a coping mechanism for his depression snd it hit hard. Theres also the cinematic with the gun scene? Like holy fuck will all the still images and shit tbis vns more like a full on movie, this shits more then a novel to me, and im hoping to show some friends so that it can be more then s novel to them too, thank you for this vn it makes me appreciate life more!
Holy lord, this game is WONDERFUL. Where do I even start -- The character design? PHENOMENAL. Every single character in this entrancing story makes me want to SCREAM. Not to mention the fantastic art every corner, and I've already started desperately yapping to my friends about this. This game is so charming, if it doesn't succeed I will cry. I can't talk any further about it without going to spoiler territory, so PLEASE play this game if you're thinking about it. Every single aspect has me swooning...
After finishing Sissel's route, I'm now here to lay in wait as this wonderful game continues in the background. You did good Shirokoi, keep your head high. Made me cry NINE WHOLE TIMES through this single route. And now the words "why does this feel like a goodbye" are engrained in my head.
Woah, discovered your content by Temptation Ballad, and i gotta say, you have really outdone yourself on both of the vn's you're working on so far! Can't wait for either to get an update, got so emotional on Sissel's route(and can't wait to get to the other routes when they're finished).
Also sorry if it's a spoilery question, but how many routes are you planning? (you don't have to answer) Because it feels like there's more to the routes than just romancing specific characters[and learning so many things about them, which is awesome btw, stunning writing], like i don't know, a feeling like you can try to do something better on the next playthrough even when choosing the one specific person to date
And btw, how to you manage to do all of this amazing work? Like you said it's all by yourself and i cannot comprehend how(in a good way of course!). The character designs are really detailed, you can get at least a little bit of a clue what a character is like by examining their design and also they all feel alive
PS. What animal is the MC supposed to be? sorry if i'm just dumb and it flew over my head, but couldn't figure it out for the life of me [well ig it took me 2 days to notice Philip is a cat so yeah]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
sissel would be a rogue, owen would be a bard for obvious reasons, phillip would be some sort of mage, due to him having a wish, euca... idk maybe similar to phillip, and idk alot about jinny.
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

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
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 :( )]

I'm pretty sure Euca is an arctic fox, according to the wiki anyway
ohhh, y`know, it makes sense now, ty
Question! is there any rough Idea of when Owen's route will be completed?
Not soon Shirokoi is working on his other VN.
oh QwQ
Yeah me too.
I prefer Repeat over TB because I have a preference for low fantasy. And bro, this is the best low fantasy story I've ever read.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
LIKE HELLO????
HOW ARE THE CHARACTERS SO REAL AND LIKEABLE
I WAS HOOKED IN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF PLAYING!!!!!!!!!
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?!?!
Be "meaner" to Sissel and focus on Owen more.
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.

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.
sissel would be a rogue, owen would be a bard for obvious reasons, phillip would be some sort of mage, due to him having a wish, euca... idk maybe similar to phillip, and idk alot about jinny.

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 >_<
