Unpopular opinion but I'm gonna say it. This VN is LEAUGES better than Adastra and Echo could ever hope to be, and it should be just as, if not more popular than both.
I went into this with more of a "Might be good?" expectation than anything, but oh man, this was unexpectedly brilliant - like legitimately, stunningly fantastic.
Without spoilers - I've only played through Sissel's route so far (as far as it's available), and it simultaneously delighted and devastated me. I gave up counting how many times it got me tearing up (happy or sad), but the way he and the story are fleshed out just draws you in and makes you truly, DESPERATELY root for things to work out for him. Everything's developed so well, it just makes it feel so alive and almost tangible. The happy moments are joyous to experience, and the sad ones are real gut-punchers.
I managed to catch the foreshadowing for some twists and got blindsided by others, which is testament to how well balanced the writing is, the story has gotten me hooked, and the artwork is great. I love the characters, the jokes land consistently, and I just can't wait to see more of it!
It's fun, it's cheesy, and it will also result in you being a melancholy wreck for the rest of your day.
Apart from (in my opinion) a slight pacing issue towards the start, this is frankly brilliant. The dev has a lot of talent and if this is "unfinished", I can only imagine how great the final version will be.
i really hope this novel gets completed at some point, i've just completed sissel's route and holy shit everything is so good-- probably the best vn i've played so far
Honestly thanking god right now that i decided to check this novel out, the story is extremely well written and kept me interested until the very "end" ;) the characters are wonderful and the stories and events they go through are engaging in ways i couldn't imagine, i have unceremoniously been playing this game for at least 10 hours and that "to be continued" hit harder than that truck at the end.
*MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT*
I had a question for the writer or someone else who could clear this out for me, in the final scenes of Sissel's route, during the car chase, one of the bullets was supposed to hit Hershel's truck window, cracking it. though when they fall into the lake the window seems to be intact, only cracking because of the impact and still holding up the weight of the water pressure around them, i was wondering if i just read it wrong or if this was just a slight mistake from the writer's side. either way the story is perfect on it's own and I can't wait for it to continue (still haven't read the other two routes though...).
Just made an account just so I can say how fucking GOOD this is holy shit I was going into this not expecting much. BUT HOLY SHIT the world-building is amazing the story is amazing And the amount that's done is holy I've clocked in about 9 hours and I'm still finding new stuff God I love this game so much Keep up the amazing work
(please help I have not stopped playing this since I downloaded it last night at 6 pm it is now 1 am also Sis my beloved)
Just did the Sis route or whats done of it and I am crying shaking and at a lost for words oh my god im not gonna spoil anything for obvi reasons but I am def replaying this and doing the other ones
I absolutely love this game, but I think it needs a patch. The game has had many problems with not loading images, and right now I'm redownloading the game again because I booted up the game today and none of the images were loading at all, except for the main title image and the save icon thumbnails. I really appreciate the work you've put into this, but please release a patch to fix these issues.
Hello! I’m sorry that you’re running into these issues. Could you provide screenshots of the loading errors that you’ve experienced? This is the first time I’ve heard about these kind of issues from my many years working on this game so I’m wondering if this is a replicable error or if it’s caused by something more local. What operating system are you playing on? And have you ever moved or made any adjustments to the VN folders in any way?
I just finished the most recent update and I have to agree with so many other people, that this is the best VN I've read, and am completely and irrevocably in love with this story and its characters. I'm on the edge of my desk chair waiting for the next update to be dropped and was wondering when that might be? Regardless I can't wait to reread this again when that time comes. Thank you for the amazing story! <3
this visual novel is absolutely the best so far I've ever read, the characters design improvements are so good i would recommend 100/10 in my ratings and also am i the only one who is a suck up for philip? :')
I WANT MORE I WANT TO KNOW THAT SISSEL AND HERSHEL ARE OKAY I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM NOT HAVING PROBLEMS FOR LIKE ATLEAST 20 MINS I WILL BE EYEING MY NOTIFS UNTIL THEN
Anyway. I love it can't wait to see more whenever the next update comes out as its been keeping me on my toes every few months or so. Thanks for blessing my eyes with Sissel and the cuteness that comes with them
Omfg I'm speechless I just got done with the first date on sissel's route ond holy fucking shit best thing I've EVER SEEN IN A FVN the fire the music like that fucking song gave me chills like it sounded like something I'd hear on the radio the romantic aura the fucking kiss the art the FUCKING EVERYTHING 1000/10 my fucking FAVORITE FVN FUCKING EVER best thing I've EVER fucking read seen and heard I AM IN FUCKING LOVE
Edit: every time I hear this song it reminds me of the first kiss scene
I honestly think It would be the song included in the scene if it wasn't for the copyright laws
You probably need to go to an earlier save if you have one, rollback a bit, or (I really hope not) start from the beginning again. Sometimes the save is at a point where it's stuck on the old version and will lead to the end (to be continued screen), you saved on that screen or it's been completely rearranged and you somehow saved at a bad point.
Hello, viewers of this fine VN. I have some brief news pertaining to "Repeat"'s development. Read on if you are curious. Chances are, many of you are indeed.
Development has NOT ceased. It has been slowed, rather, due to deeper issues that needed to be dealt with, not all strictly exclusive to the VN itself. Furthermore, the current tentative plan is to complete Sissel's route before returning to the other novel of Shirokoi's, "Temptations Ballad", for an update (or multiple, it is not confirmed for how long), and then returning to work on Owen's route. Progress IS coming along, and there should be an upcoming update in not too long! You just need to hang tight. Don't forget that all the artwork, script, typo-fixing, literally everything, is being done by just Shirokoi. That would eat at literally any person's sanity, each and every part of the game being developed solely by you alone, for years.
Also, this part isn't news, just a personal request. I'm sure all of you want more from this VN. It is a wonderful experience, and lovingly crafted by this single man. But please try not to constantly ask for a subsequent update and/or release date. It is being worked on, try not to add stress to the creator, they are trying their best!
Have patience! "Repeat" is not dead, and more is coming! Sooner than you might think, as of writing this post...
This a HUGE relief thank you for saying something and it's very understandable working by yourself on a masterpiece like Repeat would take forever so all we can do is wait if it's taking this long than you know it's going to be 100% perfect it may be a while but the wait will be worth it 🙂
This game changed me for the better, as weird as it sounds. I wouldn't be the person I am now if I hadn't found this game. Also, Sissel's route is filled with the song of my childhood (The mother song has a vocal version from a VERY old Chinese movie).

I long to see this game completed. I like the story and mystery aspect in this VN. The characters are all charming too~
I see the game got new sprites since the last time I played. I notice Owen's no longer wearing his cross necklace
great game though it's still incomplete it's been 65 days when will you release a new update?
Same here

He might not feel like he deserves it but Sis deserves the world and then some.
A really awesome VN! I like the mystery elements and the characters, I do hope this does get finished! I am loving the story so far!

A very good game that left me really impressed.
I never thought it was really that good until I played
This game has amazing art, cute characters and stories that make you really feel like you're in the game.
Are you going to continue Temptations Balled???
Literally! I just finished it and was so disappointed how abruptly it ended.
Shirokoi switches which VN he works on every few updates. He'll go back to it soon, likely after he completes Sissel's route.
I just finished the most recent update and I have to agree with so many other people, that this is the best VN I've read, and am completely and irrevocably in love with this story and its characters.

This is the best VN I have ever read in my life, the writing, the art, the everything about it is just amazing. 10/10 would reccomend
Bro why that moonheart music hit me so hurt i feel dejavu but this game is interesting btw ;) i can't say the same with the music... it just hurt?

You probably need to go to an earlier save if you have one, rollback a bit, or (I really hope not) start from the beginning again.

Shirokoi, hello:) When will we see the next update? It's been so long, i can't wait to see the continuation, pleeeeease T_T
GIRL SHE UPDATED THE VN 14 HOURS AGO QUICK UPDATE UR VERSION
Yeah, yeah, I did it right away~ This update is absolutely wonderful ^^
Yassss
Owen is the best character in my book! I love him so much!
I will die of old age when, at least, the plots of all the characters are finished. I really want it to last forever
its been 100 days i need the updat
Also also can we get a Jinny route (or at least some more backstory)
Can I just say sam is THE best character in the whole vn
A jnny route would be nice but things are pretty slow as is, and the story seems to be mostly male interactions so yeah.
Well that's a waste of potential
Also what is euca as in what is his species he has bunny ears with a wolf tail like wtf
He is a arctic fox
Ohhhh that makes sense
Thank s
Can Owen's (and Philip)route get the same attention as sissel route?
Amazing game and have a nice music when i here at the screen of the in the night :D so chill
This game changed me for the better, as weird as it sounds. I wouldn't be the person I am now if I hadn't found this game. Also, Sissel's route is filled with the song of my childhood (The mother song has a vocal version from a VERY old Chinese movie).
