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.
if your on android, just execute the APK on your device and it should work, if your on windows then just unzip the folder and execute the exe inside and your saves should be there. if on linux then just untar it and execute the executable in the command prompt
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.
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...).

thanks for existing, if you didn't we would miss this vn, its my favorite vn at the moment (talking about Sissel's route)

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?
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.
very descriptive
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.

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;
if your on android, just execute the APK on your device and it should work, if your on windows then just unzip the folder and execute the exe inside and your saves should be there. if on linux then just untar it and execute the executable in the command prompt
Thank you!
welcome :3
cute
Will every update break saves? T___T
thats why i have 4 pages of save files, just in case one breaks... totally not because i want to save every user choice
I do the same, even save files for the sex scenes "^^_ but these last 2wo updates have broken them all...
sadgeness
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.

very awesome vn, no...YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you for creating this masterpiece, I really REALLY ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU!
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. :]
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.
Yours truly,
Luciana Arima <3
please the people need an update
No matter where the other paths may take me, my one "true ending" will always be with Sissel. It just feels right.
The photo.
Love this game from the bottom of my very soul. Cried two different times. Echo is my partner in crime and Sissel is certified best-boy.
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
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.
Best vn i have playyed. Les personnages dont très attachant 🇨🇵

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.
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!
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
this game is made for faggots
mald
You're damn right! I fuckin love this game!
true
you missing the one where I press v that reads aloud to me
