It's honestly one of the best visual novels i've ever played, the only thing i struggle with is the language so it would be amazing if you could add a spanish translation someday ^^

This gotta be my most favorite romance game on itch. It feels realistically to my standards and genuinely every character seems so developed with their own stories. (Ive got so much theories <3). Genuinely amazing to see characters Werner and Lane just for who they are. 10/10 obsessed  !!!!

This is going to be a rant. I feel slightly insane since I haven't seen anyone else talking about this. MASSIVE PLOT SPOILERS BELOW FOR THE GAME ESPECIALLY BB'S ROUTE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!! 







I wanted to love this game. I seriously really wanted to, and I do love all the main characters so far. Like, I really enjoyed BB's route, Lane was slightly funny (I have not done his route yet), and Amelia was also interesting. But there's one thing fully keeping me from enjoying the game, and that's going to be the way the female MC is written. I've only played BB's route so far, up until midway through Shift 3. BB is a great character, I have no issues with him really, but my issue is with the way the female MC treats BB.


She finds out that he used to serve in the military, and her response to that is to repeatedly keep harassing him about why he had "no woman." BB rightfully tells her that he just didn't, because that wasn't a priority — he was in an active warzone, so yeah. BB tells the MC directly, "I was focused on the job." And her response is, "While your mates were looking at pictures of their loved ones." Like, I'm sorry, but wtf?! 💀 Just pour salt into the wound, why don't you? She has already known he had a semi-neutral relationship with his family, so this basically doesn't imply anything great.


He went into the military at around 18. He seems lonely, and she decides that instead of comforting him or dropping the topic, she'll just keep pointing at the fact that he had no one. It made me want to stop then and there, but I powered through for BB.


The rest of the conversation went HORRIBLY. BB informed her about his living conditions, and that he mainly ate MRE meals and drank strawberry milk. The MC doesn't offer him any sympathy or anything. Instead, she tells him, "Honestly, it feels like you're an inmate," and, "You're going to tell me you sleep on a cold floor in a tiny little room with nothing but a blanket?" And I know the tone is trying to go for humorous, but it's just not funny. Then she calls BB a "lost cause" because he's rarely home and he spends all his time working or on his bike. LIKE WHERE IS THE SYMPATHY, AND WHY IS SHE SO GODDAMN RUDE TO THIS MAN FOR LITERALLY NO REASON?! 💀 The thing that truly sent me over the edge was, after she called this man a lost cause for not having a fully furnished apartment, she dead-ass looked at him through his visor helmet and said, "I'm saying you CHOOSE to live worse than a prisoner."


WTF. WTF. WTF. And BB, of course, doesn't really respond to this either. IT MAKES THE MC LOOK LIKE SHE'S EVIL OR SOMETHING! One-sided banter at this point is just bullying. He NEVER says anything like this to HER; he's just taking all of this for no good reason, mind you.


And then she dropped the final nuke. After making fun of this man who was in the military, definitely saw some fucked up shit, she knows he doesn't really talk about his family, he never had anyone important enough to him to have a photo of to comfort him while at war — she tells him, "You ever think about how a girl would feel walking into a room that's just a mattress and a pile of MREs." Like, what? What? WHAT? WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS ABOUT YOU?! WHAT IS HAPPENING?! WHY DOES HIS LIFE NEED TO BE ADJUSTED AROUND YOU?! YOU'VE ONLY KNOWN HIM FOR 3 DAYS! YOU DIDN'T EVEN OFFER ANY REAL HELP! YOU'VE JUST BEEN JUDGING HIM THE WHOLE TIME — WHY DOES HIS ROOM NEED TO CHANGE FOR YOU?! WHO ARE YOU? I know this line was meant for FLIRTING reasons, but it doesn't feel like it, since she's been PUNCHING DOWN the whole entire conversation! She made fun of his room not having much in it, she made fun of what he ate, and now she's implying that his room needs to be changed up FOR HER.


I feel like the female MC is constantly punching DOWN on BB, even as he reveals all this stuff to her that he didn't have to. It doesn't feel like banter or jokes, since BB NEVER JOKES BACK. He just TAKES it all; he doesn't defend himself back, not really. And I bet if he made fun of the MC for working at a run-down gas station and living in a dingy apartment, that wouldn't be okay all of a sudden. I dunno. It's just fucked up.


Then, I haven't seen the whole MC x Lane stuff since I haven't done his route yet, but from what I've seen of Lane, he does make rude jokes and whatnot, which is whatever, it doesn't offend me. But what I find interesting is the MC all of a sudden doesn't "joke" this meanly to Lane. She apparently only likes doing this to people that don't roast back.


The other thing that made me want to slam my laptop shut was the female MC reaching peak delusion — but it was kind of darkly hilarious after everything she said. The female MC told BB, right after making fun of him for not having a picture of a woman with him while in the army, after she made fun of him for not having a fully furnished room, after she made fun of him for eating MRE meals, after telling him he lived like an inmate, after scolding him for not ADJUSTING his room to HER preferences (he's known her for 3 days max) — she told him, "Most people tell me I care too much. 🥺" I was speechless at this point. I had genuinely nothing left to say. This is apparently the MC's greatest quality. She cares too much. Wow. Just wow.


I powered through, since BB is really well written. I was just confused about a couple of other points. BB said he was illiterate, which is interesting because... I don't know how you can be ILLITERATE and in the military. Nor do I understand how he would be able to get a driver's license for his motorcycle?????? But despite this, he somehow managed to text the word "window." BB can't read or write, but he said he picked the word through autocorrect, which makes 0 sense. Like, how does he know the difference between "window," "witch," "where," etc. if he's illiterate? IDK.


Then, if I remember correctly, during the night of Shift 1, after the female MC got choked out by a male customer (we never talk about it — she just got choked out, it was only mentioned for a little bit in Shift 1 and then we just kinda... forgot this happened, or something. It's never really discussed or brought up again 😭), in my playthrough I had her watch some TV before bed, and she found out someone had been murdered close to or by her workplace. She was like, "Whoa, that's crazy, anyways..." LMAO.


BB in Shift 3 offers to fix the door he had kicked open for her, and for some reason she starts arguing with him over fixing the door. This makes 0 sense to me, since you got choked out only days ago, you know there may be a murderer in the area, YOU WORK THE NIGHT SHIFT, you're working ALONE tonight, and the broken door leads into an ALLEYWAY — and somehow, for some reason, you want to argue for WHAT? I don't understand. I didn't get it.


But yeah, maybe BB should've just let the MC get fully choked out during Shift 1. Hell, at this point, after seeing her personality, I'm sorry, but I don't blame him. Everyone else though ? They're VERY well written I only have issues with the female MC only. I also like the interactive map parts of the game play. I like snooping around and finding out information that way that's super fun. I do enjoy the feeling of mystery too that's also done very well. My only complaint is the female mc. Maybe she is written better in Lane's route. 

(+3)(-1)

As someone who has been really, really trying to get the Lane routes done, I will say that I much prefer the MC's dialogue and interactions when pursuing Lane. For example, if you side with Lane all three times during the confrontation between him and BB, it's described as less the MC finding his behaviour actually funny, and more like an involuntary reaction brought on by the stressful situation - which is believable to me, because I've struggled with having the exact opposite emotional response to certain situations. 

However, something that seriously bothered me is that in my attempts to get Lane's Route 1, I kept getting his Route 2; so I went online for help getting it, but I didn't want to skip Shift 1 because, you know, you shouldn't have to do that to get a route. But the guide I read specifically stated to not watch the TV to learn about the murder/disappearances in the area around your business, which if you do that, triggers the bad ending where the MC is assaulted on her way home from work and commits suicide several months later, which... I have some thoughts on. 

First of all, to me, the bad ending feels a bit... pointless? It just feels like it's there to inject a horrible demise to your character for making the wrong choices. Which, to be fair, I went into this game knowing that SA was listed in the warnings, so I knew the risks of encountering it. But it just feels like it contributes nothing other than to be a shocking death. I fully expected BB to be somewhere nearby if you scream, but he just... isn't. He punches out Lane for saying your name, and then just... lets you walk home alone, knowing the risks, which results in the MC getting physically assaulted. And the scene goes on uncomfortably long, which, to be fair, I do think things like that - when portrayed at all - should be portrayed in a way that properly conveys the horror to your audience, but in a respectful, meaningful way. It just... felt meaningless to me. It didn't really contribute anything outside of being shocking.

Another thing that bothers me is just how long of a gap between triggering the bad end route is from the actual bad end. It's all of Shift 2. So you put in all this time getting ready that morning, doing the date thing with Lane, cleaning up the store and doing all of the work chores, having the confrontation between Lane and BB, just for every second of that to wind up being completely pointless, making the entire assault feel even more meaningless, because you wasted so much of your time for something completely unavoidable after making one bad choice hours earlier. And yeah, from a real-world standpoint, that would happen; one bad choice can have far-reaching consequences down the line. But from a gameplay standpoint, I just wasted over an hour of gameplay and had no means of avoiding it afterward. I'll be honest - I considered uninstalling the game.

omg this GAME!!! I have been dreaming of an otome like this, with the mix of point and click, dark romance, and genuine fucked-up dynamics... ugh I LOVE IT!!! the art, the writing, and the atmosphere are all some of the best I've seen. some other games in this genre occasionally miss the mark a bit and end up feeling a bit juvenile, but this one just scratches my brain <3333

omg love this game <33 Also how many shifts will there be in total?

(+2)

I love shift 3 so far especially getting to know more about BB from his coworkers. BB's past makes his personality make sense.

C’est officiellement mon VN favoris ! Les personnages sont magnifiques, les décors également ainsi que l’histoire très bien écrite et intéressante, on ne s’ennuie pas une seule seconde, je recommande à 100% !

(+5)

I mean I wish this was a book, I can't wait till next update!!!!

(+5)

I really like this game!! It's probably one of the most natural feeling VNs I've read in a while, from the dialog to the pacing. The characters feel very alive and their history clings to them like a second skin. Really enjoyable!

(+8)

gonna be honest, shift 3 is fucking perfect. the game terminology and shit-talking with friends is so realistic it's insane. the dialogue and banter made Lane come to life. this shit's a gem and ur a goddamn artist.

I LOVE LANE

(-1)

I really feel like reading Russian... I want it so badly... I don't understand what the characters are saying, the translator isn't helping, I'm going crazy trying to read it... Russian is there... but it doesn't work... and on the phone it's almost impossible to tap... pain, pain. 😔

I've seen replies to other comments stating that MC customization is planned soon, does that include being able to choose your gender/pronouns?

(+6)

Misogyny is a big play in the game, I feel like you'll just be able to dress mc the way you want but I am not sure!

(+1)

this is what I was thinking and why I asked ^^;

(+8)

No, laly has mentioned the mc will remain a female because of the way she wrote the story and the themes and her having other pronouns besides that of a female defeats the purpose of the game

the discord server link seems to be outdated!

(+1)

the discord server has been paused so people can't join it for now ( or ,at least from what I've heard.)

(+1)

oooh, what a shame ;( thanks for telling me!

(+2)

Is this translated to Spanish? I would like to play it 😔

(+1)

holis, por el momento no... pero hay fans de habla hispana que usan un plug-in de traducción al español para poder jugar el juego!!! yo lo juego en ingles pero puedo preguntar que programa usan, por si lo quieres probar?

I would love to! Because I play it on Android

amei o jogo! Se pudesse atualizar o link do servidor do discord, gostaria de ficar a par das atualizações pra vir jogar novamente. A historia é envolvente e eu já me encontro viciado

Hi!! Just wondering but does anyone know how the point and click is made in this game? It's the best I've ever seen. Is it an image map or maybe image buttons?

(+4)

i use screens and imagebuttons! :3

Hello! I downloaded the Android APK, but I can't change the language. The settings always stay on English, even when I tap Portuguese. Is there a fix planned?

(+1)

(+1)

Hello! I'm really interested in this game. ❤️

I downloaded the Android version, but I can't switch the language option in the settings. 

The default version is the English version. I hope to see this feedback as soon as possible.🥹

Bonjour, bonjour ! Franchement, ce jeu est incroyable, je n'ai vraiment pas les mots. Même si j'ai galéré avec la traduction en étant française, ce jeu m'a complètement plongée dedans. J'étais littéralement submergée par l'ambiance du jeu et par l'histoire. J'ai une énorme préférence pour BB, je l'adore ! J'ai vraiment hâte de découvrir la suite. Merci ! ❤️
