lane is a huge asshole and i will NEVER be a lane girlie he's too much of a dick. but hes funny as hell and i still appreciate how he shows concern towards the player and is protective of their safety after The Incident with the weirdo in shift 1 or whenever BB shows up because even though i love BB, if he ever showed up irl i'd also be a little creeped out LOL
but anyways, BB is so fascinating. it's so cute to see him nervous and blushing ahhh he's adorable!! the hearts around him whenever you do something romantic are actually so funny to me that's how i see him 24/7 he's so cutie patootie <3 but then it's like he's a completely different person a minute later?? and it's so interesting??? that part where he suddenly gets REALLY mad when you mention having to go to lane's house was so cool i actually got jumpscared 😭 i love the contrast between the sweet romantic moments vs the horror moments in this game. im so invested in this and im excited to see what happens next!!!
about amelia: when she was talking about how men suck i was nodding so hard agreeing with her LMFAO. i really love how there are moments where the player/the game calls men out on their misogyny and bullshit hehe
(also, im sorry if it was mentioned at some point and i just missed it but are amelia and lane siblings? lane mentions a sister and when you talk to amelia at your apartment building you mention a brother?)
OMGGGG I FOUND A BB STANNNN, I TOTALLY AGREEEEE. I love it when he blushes and when he gets mad. You are a rare species in this comment section, glad to have seen you lmao
bb rant <3 im bored. the red person hmm.. is it bb alter ego? his frenemy? nemesis? Maybe why mc is rlly afraid of red is due to that? mm, when u click on the easter egg in you know where, it talks about showing you the moon, when u r at the bus station with bb, you point to the sky, he asks us why dont we like the moon and idk the moon is just mentioned too much :3, either red suit knew bb or they are the same person, maybe we saw red guy's face before and we would recognize bb as him? what if it IS his alter ego, when bb is breaking the steel door or whatever, when he gets mad over the mention of lane it all goes red? i need more lore to feed on pls, drop more lore im starving
also i find it cute how hes REALLLLY. shy around us but theres more into him than a shy uwu helmet biker boy, guess he lives up to his yandere stuff after all, at some point i forgot hes a yandere lol he fooled me too well until he snapped out or smth, i have seen people complaining about him trying too hard. but uh hes a yandere.. thats what he will do. i love him hes so my baby i need to chew him up
OMGG I LOVED ITTT!! Came here for the biker boy, and after I finished shift 2 I can confirm I left as an another Lane girlieXD Can't wait to see the updates and next shifts<3
some people are into men who r assholes so oh well... what i liked ab lane is how well u have written him, hes an asshole sure, but hes lwky a jealous person who has a soft spot thats also him bein an asshole XD i like both of them equally, the reason *i think* no one prefers bb is because we have more flirty stuff and convos with lane. imo we see more of lane than we see bb. (duh cuz hes our co worker) but i like them both equally <3
I'll admit i did enjoy seeing blushing Lane but BB having all the red dialogues just feels loveable too! Lane is giving "I'm bullying you because i love you" vibes lmao and ughhh this game made me realize i have a thing for biker boys, they just look so cool with their helmet and everything!!
they r so hot lmao, i think i like lane cuz im into the teasing stuff i guess but wait omg "im bullying you because i like you" fits him so bad, dude biker boys r so fine i would be scared shitless to hop on their bike but their vibe is just so cool
God, I didn't know this game would hit me so hard, maybe I shouldn't have played it right now, maybe I should've waited for my mind to heal, but honestly this game feels more like a reality than a horror game, a horror game to men but just an average day for women, the fact that this happens in 2009 but nothing has really changed since then, everything is still the same, the fear is still the same, honestly I've never related so much to a main character before, never, the way she thinks, the she's treated and the way she deals with it, it's all too familiar unfortunately, it made me sad in ways I never thought possible, I relived my life through her eyes and it was not enjoyable to say the least, that's what makes it a good game I guess, it's amazing in a twisted kind of way, I loved it despite myself, you did a fantastic job.
What confused me though is Amelia, I honestly had a bad feeling about her from the start, I just hope we'll get to see what happened in the upcoming shifts, also I thought I couldn't hate biker boy more than I hate Lane and I was right, both are bad in their own ways, Lane just hits too close to home, Biker boy on the other hand felt more like ... Trying too hard, I loved him at first but when he kinda showed his true colors, I had a bad feeling about him, but nothing could ever make me like Lane, I just feel like the mc is already going through way deeper shit, she doesn't need him or Amelia fucking with her mental health too, I get that he has problems, we all do, but it's not her job to find out what's wrong with him.
I hope you'll drop some tutorial for all the endings when you have time though, I couldn't get all of them, I just hope someone we'll help with it.
Again, you did an amazing job with this, even though it left me more depressed than anything but I guess that's what I loved about it, that it was able to get me so emotional and sad, thank you for this, it's not everyday that you find games that portray such deep emotions, best of luck to you.
omg i am so sorry pookie... i so feel bad OMG please u shouldn't play the bad end then! thank you for your feedback tho! but i am sorry xD
i didnt make my characters to be likable so i completely understand! and i will make a "sheet tutorial" too when i have some time and post it on tumblr :3 (its so annoying to do xD)
It's alright don't worry, hun and please don't feel bad! Honestly I was a bit triggered I think before I even played the game, I don't think it's the game that really triggered me, I was a bit upset when I wrote this comments, I'm terribly sorry if I made you feel this way!
And yes, I put down my PC for a while, I just need to get off the internet for a while, too many triggers these days lol
Honestly I think it's the first time I really hate a character in a visual novel, meaning that I hate the game, like I said in my previous comments the game is absolutely amazing and the emotions it made me feel is proof enough
Honestly you did an amazing job, bad characters in visual novels are sometimes too romanticized and likable for my taste, this is something I haven't found in any other game
And no pressure about the tutorial! It's totally fine take your time but more importantly rest, take care of yourself, physically and mentally, lots of love sent your way hun <3
everything is fine pookie!! <3 :3 im glad u feel better now!! <3 i agree with you and thank you so much!! my main priority with that story is making the characters feel real! :3
thats why i like them both tbh LOL like i dont defend any of their bad actions or their toxic behaviors, but duh bb is a yandere he will be tryin too hard or will be *too much* and lane is an asshole icl but i can understand his character i wish we see more of their characters..!! i can help u with all of the endings since i figured them all out myself after 2 days lololol, sadly lane and amelia are kinda.. realistic-ly written? idk but some ppl behave like that irl, people who just dismiss your feelings and act like theirs are more important which isn't rlly a bad thing but not when they act like its your job to figure out what's wrong with them.
Like I said I don't hate bb as much as I hate Lane, because he's not a misogynistic bastard, of course most yanderes are controlling, I think it's bothered me here because the game feels so real, usually visual novels with yanderes lean more into fiction, and I find that I can't relate to them as much, but I honestly kinda see the appeal here, good for you Lane and bb girlies <3
Honestly maybe if I wasn't so traumatized and my words weren't so raw, I could try to understand his character better, I mean I see where he's coming from, he was probably abused by his mother or something, I always remind myself that no matter how bad you had it, how traumatized you are, you can't treat people the way you are treated, I think he just needs therapy.
And yeah, Lane and Amelia are definitely very realistically written, I've had people like this in my life too many times before realizing I didn't have to put up with that shit, and yes you're right, it's good to put yourself first and your feelings first, but you can't dismiss someone who's going through shit just because.
But in the end it's a horror game, so I guess you either like or don't like the characters, obviously they're hot as fuck lol, but their personalities just hit too close to home, I think it's the first time it happened to me with a game, I don't usually behave this way, I'm sorry if my comment was too harsh, I was a bit triggered before I even played the game lol.
And yes please, now that I've took some time to calm down I think I'm ready to finish finding the endings, so I would be very grateful if you could help me with that, thanks a lot in advance hun <3
thats the thing i like about this visual novel, its REALLY realistic which is so cool, also super happy u calmed down now!! ofc i can help you out w any ending ^^
Yeah, I don't really like fiction unless it's like really well written and helps me forget my problems, so this type of visual novels is amazing, along with text based storied too.
Thanks pookie <3 Also, I don't know how many endings there are to be honest I think I only got one ... Or two? I'm not sure but I wanted to get the bad ending as well so if you could give me like a quick tut on how to get them I would be very grateful!
I don't know what to say, like, all of the girlies down there did there job. I don't know how to describe it, but, I just love how you made the mc just a woman, not that complicated pronouns shit, no hate but that's my opinion! And I'd like to tell you that I spend THREE days playing it to see all the endings and dialogs, I even slept with my laptop in my lap LOL, like, this game is so amazing it spent time with me, and I can't even move on I'm literally OBSESSED. I dug so hard in the game to the point I explored a bad ending???? like (spoiler)
that weirdo SAed us?? and we avoided Lane? the thing that confused me that our BB didn't even try to check on us? like that confused me as hell, and I expected him to save us before that weirdo can do anything to us like a hero or something but lmao no one came, so we just K!lled ourselves?! that was too dark I didn't expect the game to turn to this dark side.
other than that, the game is soo goood!! like I can't wait for more!!! love yaaa!
woah i didnt watch the tv but i still didnt get it. do i need to answer lane's call? or is there another specific thing i must do to get the bad ending
Ah yeah, you need to go into the store without BB otherwise you'll be going into BB's route cause u spent alone time with him, it doesn't need to be the call, you can also respond to his text to assure you get him into the storee
thank you SO much pookie :3 yeaah! for the story its necessary to be a woman and idk i dont wanted to make it "neutral" i wanted the players to FEEL theyre a woman. i think it changes a lot a story whether youre a man or a woman and thats why i wanted to do that :3
uhh I'm just like spitballing here heh uh what if in like in an alternative universe uhh what if there's a route where hypothetically donimate Lane and hypothetically get the option to hypothetically aggressively flirt back...? hypothetically ofc (✿◕‿◕✿)
*SPOILER FOR EASTER EGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MADE AN ACCOUNT FOR THIS GAME THIS IS INSANELY GOOD. woof for both of the love intersects bb is so nonchalant and mysterious wow/sarc but no acc hes so fine, im js confused on how he stated hes not ugly but also stated MC wouldnt like his face, babes idc if he looked like a rotten trash bag his protective-ish personality makes up for it LOLOL and for my fine babe my amazing lane?? at first i was like yeaaa im so gonna hate him... but dude no oml i like him sm maybe more than bb but we havent seen more info of bb.. so i like em both equally for now!! can i just pick both!! im obsessed with everythin oml uhdqeiuduhqwudquiwu also u have rlly nice character writing style, every character is well written and you paid attention to making everything you say/pick lead up into another situation!! i cant find the code :c yet..
ik its in the store bathroom but im so sosososo stupid rn LOL
made a whole account for this.. um i love this pls finish it i lit finished the entire game routes in one sitting... haahhaha im obsessed with how you wrote each character im going crazy i need both of them at the same damn time
i am already writing a lot these days pookie! :3 maybe shift 3 will be finished before the end of the year :3 (thank you so much, writing them was the hardest part ngl xD)
I went into this thinking id like the biker boy more and then LANE SHOWS UP HOT DAMN- anyway this game is fantastic your doing amazing i cant wait for shift 3 <3 (plus i love what you did with lanes backstory its very peak)
lanes hot + funny fuck me. In all honesty, this game takes an interesting approach to storytelling and navigation, particularly as an interactive experience. I love how the story builds upon itself and keeps me curious for more. Plus, there's a diverse set of characters in terms of personality, like biker boy being a sweet, shy person in contrast to an arrogant and raunchy person like Lane. Overall, can't wait for the final release of this game!!
Lane girl here! What a masterpiece. This man has me so downbad for him that Biker Boy's interference irritated even me. Lane annoys and charms me at the same time I can't wait for Shift 3 help me...
DIDN’T FINISH THE GAME (im on shift 2) BUT I HAVE TO WRITE A REVIEW BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 100000/100000 IT LITERALLY MADE ME GIGGLING, BLUSHING WHILE PLAYING. LOVE U DEVS
I'm usually pretty indifferent to the visual novels I play, but this one? It actually hits different. LIKE, BB is just so dayum good 😝 I hope your pillow is cold on both sides 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nah actually what happened when i was gone, wdym theres a code and stuff, weren't we all talking about how we stan Lane more than BB. I mean that's where the comments where was when shift 2 first released, can someone give me some info about the code. Like from reading the comment's i see theres a hidden code thing (i'm assuming it's an easter egg) and we have to rename ourselves to it? As in restart the game and rename in shift 1 or? Also how do you know if you've found the code as well, does it tell you or-? I do know from the comment's it's in Mad Dog Convenience, though i'm pretty sure i found it but dont know how exactly to apply and determind if it's right. Also who found this, gng the information took me by surprise.
I spent the whole week studying, but anxious to play! I drew one in my own style and another in yours and I’m absolutely obsessed with everything! I did every ending and hunted down every tiny detail I could. I love your game and I seriously love you for making it.
I got out of 'Shift 2' totally fixated on Biker Boy and after playing it I low-key started crushing on Lane too! ☠️ WTF — I used to hate that jerk, how is he making me laugh this hard? Biker Boy’s adorable and Lane’s hilarious, I want both!
I didn’t expect my feelings to flip like this, but I guess I just didn’t know Lane well enough. You nailed the character development and I’m so happy about it — I have SO MANY QUESTIONS! Instead of clearing up 'Shift 1', you sent me off with like 50 new theories 🫵🏻
OMGGG THIS IS SOO BEAUTIFUL AAAAAAAAAAAA THE EYES HEART LMFAOOO XDDD<3 THANK U SO MUCH BESTIE!!<3<3 i think EVERYONE became a Lane lover bc of shift 2 tbh xDDD!! SOME QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED ON SHIFT 3 DW x)
I freaking LOVE when he looks like that, he’s TOO CUTE. I couldn’t not draw that iconic expression. And listen, I’ve been burned by devs who just gave up before, don’t you dare stop, we NEED more of this! But take your time, okay? Luv ya <3
i'm so in love with this game!! it really does feel like the choices you make matter with all the different dialogue you get as a result (especially at the end of shift 2), which is something i find rare in most visual novels—not to mention the navigation feature of the store and MC's house. i'm so excited to see more <3
ngl im an avid consumer of visual novels ever since i was in highschool till now that im a full grown working adult, so u can just guess how many ive tried lol. i wasnt expecting much since tbh im picky with prose and dialogue but this was amazing from start to finish! I LOVE how you wrote the two bad dogs, especially Lane. He is so consistent as a character and his flaws make genuine sense. Its not there just to make a cliche checklist, i feel like he really is human and complex. I understand MC so much! Like....I wanna strangle Lane so bad but he can be so freaking funny and charming too...like wow i wanna kiss him but also slap him in the face and knock him down several pegs.
I cant say much about biker dude since i barely know him but he is so cute! Im so curious y he's deranged for MC and his character, you know...his POV at the end of shift 2 was such a big tonal change from how he is with MC. SO CONCERNING! SO DELICIOUSLY RIPE WITH LORE.
Edit: i just finished a BB branch...WTF wow so theyre really both chauvinistic pigs. I'm crying it was so jarring from this "nice" guy persona. That part where he got mad at MC was like being drenched in ice it really struck that part of me when i was younger and had to carry the men...Hes not wrong its just...it makes me really mad he saw that you know? ugh like...its just touches that raw part of you that wants justice but maybe you stopped hoping for it because it never changes anyway and u had to swallow the patriarchy and keep your head down as a woman and u wanna just strangle people who sees that weak, oppressed part of you because its humiliating. UGH the way MC just has that fawn response ingrained into her in conflicts with men...I GET HER SO MUCH...Amelia lets build a woman utopia fr.
Im heartbroken about Amelia and y she has become so cold to MC... SO MYSTERIOUS I MUST KNOWWWW. The fallout mustve been about something terrible
I also love MC she is such a breath of fresh air! she isnt a wilting flower, she's funny, can dish out as much as Lane can give, and her lines are charming too, i can see why Lane and biker boy like her!
ALSO! This whole yandere/obsession men have is definitely DRENCHED in misogyny i AM SO GLAD you've written it so expertly in game. Like wow ive never seen a piece of yan VN where this is so clearly stated again and again. I love your characters so much and I am in love with the way you write. I like how you show rather than tell and sprinkle in lore in a way thats believable and natural. I hope you never stop writing I am such a huge fan of it and I will definitely follow all your creative work from now on
OMFGGG SUCH AN HONOR!!! i am so HAPPY you liked it pookie!! i was seriously about to cry when i read your comment xDD writing is definitely the hardest part, but knowing that all my effort was worth it really encourages me to work even harder <3
dont worry, i am already writting shift 3 and you are so right about how i "show rather than tell" cuz shift 3 will be A LOT about that xDD!! thank you SO MUCH!!!! <3<3
girllll i stalked ur tumblr, and all the comments here HAHA OMG U LIKED Forcefully yours too!!! I was just thinking BB reminds me of Lionbright from Forcefully yours when i played for the first time, and i was kind of comparing how much i liked BOTH of fuzzycuff's writing style and yours! I love u guys equally btw!!! I miss riker so much, i hope fuzzycuffs is okay.
i'm buzzing lol i hope time speeds tf up because i want to read it all from start to finish and devour all the lore! but srsly, as Lane says "im gonna wait so hard baby" XD (im gonna bark so good ,baby)
i loved this game so much everything was perfect, the tension , the writing , the atmosphere i could actually inmerse myself into the story and it made me feel lots of things i cant wait for the next days this game is so underrated, it deserves more love
yall i need help 😭 I THINK IM JUST A DUMMY BUT I CANT FIND THE SECRET CODEEEE gah.... :(( do any of yall have any steps that i could follow? i could have sworn that it could possibly be by the staff door entrance but i clicked everywhere and found nothingggg
«to have that scene you have to have a date with Lane but DONT flirt with him, then ull end up in the neutral route during the beef and you have to choose "stop them both" :3!!»
i've finish all the the route and omg i love it so much. it's more realistic and we can really appreciate the characters more and not too rush and putting some development between the characters and how some outcome do not lead the same way (i really like slow burn romance, got me giggle and kicking my feet ><). it only shift 2 but i still want moreeee. the game is very good and nice, not too heavy on the plot and idk or it just me the game is very relaxing except for the jumpscare of course :P. one question though, do we really can't accept the dare when Lane dare us to drink the alcohol? because i was hopping we can. shhgdgdsh (i'm not being a creep i swear). but if we can't it's fineee ^^. one last time, thank you creator for making this game and hopping to see more of your game in the future.
so heyy im back with my mc drawing<33 its not really good but i just wanted to show my admiration for your work hehe:) ( idk how to render btw 🥀) i’ll draw the others too:^ *only if i have time *
THATS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL OMGGGG THE AMELIA WRITTEN AWWWWWWW shes a love interest too btw!!! :3 she is absolutely GORGEOUS POOKIE!! <3<3 thank you so much!!! <3<3<3<3 I LOVE UUUUUU :3
it might be me being a wuss but i'm actually crazy scared in some parts of this game!!! intentional or not i was lwk dying when i had to do stuff by myself. i accidentally unpaused a video on my laptop while i was checking the employee entrance and i nearly shit myself since the guy speaking in the video was full on monologuing.
this is a fire game though i'm so glad i decided to give it a try i'm like the #2 lane fan i could fix him (i could not). bbd has crazy good writing and i've been up for like 4 hours playing and replaying this whoops
also i accidentally died in my first playthrough!!! whoops!! my bad for wanting to pull lane away!!!
Oh goodness THE HIDDEN BACKGROUND IN THE STOCK BATHROOM!! It took me so long to discover I genuinely started thinkinh y'all are talking about something else entirely but then I just started clicking on every part of the screen in the bathroom and ohhhhh
I FINIHSED THE ONE ROUND OF PLAYTHRU N IM FNA DO ALL CHOICES NOW: GOD LIFE IS WORTH LIVING: I LITERALLY LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!! Im assuming we wont have as much lane (since he alr got lotsa screentime in sh2) in the next shift cuz of the different schedules.. ugh im going thru a lane withdrawal </3. this was so enjoyable. i love this. fav game

lane is a huge asshole and i will NEVER be a lane girlie he's too much of a dick. but hes funny as hell and i still appreciate how he shows concern towards the player and is protective of their safety after The Incident with the weirdo in shift 1 or whenever BB shows up because even though i love BB, if he ever showed up irl i'd also be a little creeped out LOL
but anyways, BB is so fascinating. it's so cute to see him nervous and blushing ahhh he's adorable!! the hearts around him whenever you do something romantic are actually so funny to me that's how i see him 24/7 he's so cutie patootie <3 but then it's like he's a completely different person a minute later?? and it's so interesting??? that part where he suddenly gets REALLY mad when you mention having to go to lane's house was so cool i actually got jumpscared 😭 i love the contrast between the sweet romantic moments vs the horror moments in this game. im so invested in this and im excited to see what happens next!!!

OKOK THANK YOU!!! i was looking at them a lil closer and was like Huh... they have the same eye color too LOL

We need more blushing and flirty options fr, i mean we only got that ramen and vending machine one while Lane stanes get sooo much more
FINALLY A LANE HATER!! xD i feel you bestie, Lane is insufferable but i still hope youll try digging a bit in his past in shift 3! :3
for real i was so annoyed at lane lmao
bb rant <3 im bored. the red person hmm.. is it bb alter ego? his frenemy? nemesis? Maybe why mc is rlly afraid of red is due to that? mm, when u click on the easter egg in you know where, it talks about showing you the moon, when u r at the bus station with bb, you point to the sky, he asks us why dont we like the moon and idk the moon is just mentioned too much :3, either red suit knew bb or they are the same person, maybe we saw red guy's face before and we would recognize bb as him? what if it IS his alter ego, when bb is breaking the steel door or whatever, when he gets mad over the mention of lane it all goes red? i need more lore to feed on pls, drop more lore im starving
also i find it cute how hes REALLLLY. shy around us but theres more into him than a shy uwu helmet biker boy, guess he lives up to his yandere stuff after all, at some point i forgot hes a yandere lol he fooled me too well until he snapped out or smth, i have seen people complaining about him trying too hard. but uh hes a yandere.. thats what he will do. i love him hes so my baby i need to chew him up
poookiiee how could ppl say he's trying so hard, i mean look at Lane over there being an asshole to our mc unforgivable
OMGG I LOVED ITTT!! Came here for the biker boy, and after I finished shift 2 I can confirm I left as an another Lane girlieXD Can't wait to see the updates and next shifts<3
NOOOO ANOTHER LANE GIRLIE....
i should've made Lane even worse!! xD
THANK U POOKIE :3 <3
We lost another one gng ;w; another win goes to Lane (no ones counting)
i swear i created Lane to be the worst asshole possible but wtf.... xD
some people are into men who r assholes so oh well... what i liked ab lane is how well u have written him, hes an asshole sure, but hes lwky a jealous person who has a soft spot thats also him bein an asshole XD i like both of them equally, the reason *i think* no one prefers bb is because we have more flirty stuff and convos with lane. imo we see more of lane than we see bb. (duh cuz hes our co worker) but i like them both equally <3
I'll admit i did enjoy seeing blushing Lane but BB having all the red dialogues just feels loveable too! Lane is giving "I'm bullying you because i love you" vibes lmao and ughhh this game made me realize i have a thing for biker boys, they just look so cool with their helmet and everything!!
they r so hot lmao, i think i like lane cuz im into the teasing stuff i guess but wait omg "im bullying you because i like you" fits him so bad, dude biker boys r so fine i would be scared shitless to hop on their bike but their vibe is just so cool
God, I didn't know this game would hit me so hard, maybe I shouldn't have played it right now, maybe I should've waited for my mind to heal, but honestly this game feels more like a reality than a horror game, a horror game to men but just an average day for women, the fact that this happens in 2009 but nothing has really changed since then, everything is still the same, the fear is still the same, honestly I've never related so much to a main character before, never, the way she thinks, the she's treated and the way she deals with it, it's all too familiar unfortunately, it made me sad in ways I never thought possible, I relived my life through her eyes and it was not enjoyable to say the least, that's what makes it a good game I guess, it's amazing in a twisted kind of way, I loved it despite myself, you did a fantastic job.
What confused me though is Amelia, I honestly had a bad feeling about her from the start, I just hope we'll get to see what happened in the upcoming shifts, also I thought I couldn't hate biker boy more than I hate Lane and I was right, both are bad in their own ways, Lane just hits too close to home, Biker boy on the other hand felt more like ...

Thanks sm hun <3 And yup you did a fantastic job indeed! Hope you keep making great games!
thats why i like them both tbh LOL like i dont defend any of their bad actions or their toxic behaviors, but duh bb is a yandere he will be tryin too hard or will be *too much* and lane is an asshole icl but i can understand his character i wish we see more of their characters..!! i can help u with all of the endings since i figured them all out myself after 2 days lololol, sadly lane and amelia are kinda.. realistic-ly written? idk but some ppl behave like that irl, people who just dismiss your feelings and act like theirs are more important which isn't rlly a bad thing but not when they act like its your job to figure out what's wrong with them.
Like I said I don't hate bb as much as I hate Lane, because he's not a misogynistic bastard, of course most yanderes are controlling, I think it's bothered me here because the game feels so real, usually visual novels with yanderes lean more into fiction, and I find that I can't relate to them as much, but I honestly kinda see the appeal here, good for you Lane and bb girlies <3
Honestly maybe if I wasn't so traumatized and my words weren't so raw, I could try to understand his character better, I mean I see where he's coming from, he was probably abused by his mother or something, I always remind myself that no matter how bad you had it, how traumatized you are, you can't treat people the way you are treated, I think he just needs therapy.
And yeah, Lane and Amelia are definitely very realistically written, I've had people like this in my life too many times before realizing I didn't have to put up with that shit, and yes you're right, it's good to put yourself first and your feelings first, but you can't dismiss someone who's going through shit just because.
But in the end it's a horror game, so I guess you either like or don't like the characters, obviously they're hot as fuck lol, but their personalities just hit too close to home, I think it's the first time it happened to me with a game, I don't usually behave this way, I'm sorry if my comment was too harsh, I was a bit triggered before I even played the game lol.
And yes please, now that I've took some time to calm down I think I'm ready to finish finding the endings, so I would be very grateful if you could help me with that, thanks a lot in advance hun <3
thats the thing i like about this visual novel, its REALLY realistic which is so cool, also super happy u calmed down now!! ofc i can help you out w any ending ^^
Yeah, I don't really like fiction unless it's like really well written and helps me forget my problems, so this type of visual novels is amazing, along with text based storied too.
Thanks pookie <3 Also, I don't know how many endings there are to be honest I think I only got one ... Or two? I'm not sure but I wanted to get the bad ending as well so if you could give me like a quick tut on how to get them I would be very grateful!
Have a good day/night!
yea ofc! for the bad ending i think you should be on the lane's route , dont watch the tv. and after bb beats lane up scold lane
I don't know what to say, like, all of the girlies down there did there job. I don't know how to describe it, but, I just love how you made the mc just a woman, not that complicated pronouns shit, no hate but that's my opinion! And I'd like to tell you that I spend THREE days playing it to see all the endings and dialogs, I even slept with my laptop in my lap LOL, like, this game is so amazing it spent time with me, and I can't even move on I'm literally OBSESSED. I dug so hard in the game to the point I explored a bad ending???? like (spoiler)
that weirdo SAed us?? and we avoided Lane? the thing that confused me that our BB didn't even try to check on us? like that confused me as hell, and I expected him to save us before that weirdo can do anything to us like a hero or something but lmao no one came, so we just K!lled ourselves?! that was too dark I didn't expect the game to turn to this dark side.
other than that, the game is soo goood!! like I can't wait for more!!! love yaaa!
There are times i forget this game has horror lmaoooo
i need tips for the bad ending omg
Uh don't watch the TV so MC doesn't know the risks and stay neutral with both love interests
woah i didnt watch the tv but i still didnt get it. do i need to answer lane's call? or is there another specific thing i must do to get the bad ending
Ah yeah, you need to go into the store without BB otherwise you'll be going into BB's route cause u spent alone time with him, it doesn't need to be the call, you can also respond to his text to assure you get him into the storee
alriiight tysm <3
SLEEPING WITH UR LAPTOP ON UR LAP WHAAAT XD
thank you SO much pookie :3 yeaah! for the story its necessary to be a woman and idk i dont wanted to make it "neutral" i wanted the players to FEEL theyre a woman. i think it changes a lot a story whether youre a man or a woman and thats why i wanted to do that :3
ALSO! anyone know how to see the red helmet scene?
it's in shift 2, after the shift when you wait at the bus stop you and BB should meet again and he'll offer to take you home, and agree!
What Haniexe says but make sure you watch the TV so you take the bus home and talk with scarlet. I think that guarentees you the choice.
Wait, I tried doing that but nothing happened, I just went home and the shift ended??
okay so , refuse the number, watch the tv then dont text lane back, while doin tasks inspect bbs bike at the back of the store
Ooh okay, got it! I was so close I just didn't refuse the number, thanks a lot for the tutorial
just be on BB's route, offer him the umbrella or the shelter and ull have it :3
(i deleted ur comment, HOW DARE U LOOK AT MY PRECIOUS FILES!!!)
(i am kidding xD)
ooo so im right hehe, i will keep it a secret for u dw
Now i'm curious lmaoo, it's fine pretty sure we'll be able to see it in due time
hopefully the creator will add it soon ^^
uhh I'm just like spitballing here heh uh what if in like in an alternative universe uhh what if there's a route where hypothetically donimate Lane and hypothetically get the option to hypothetically aggressively flirt back...? hypothetically ofc (✿◕‿◕✿)
i will add more flirt back options for the Lane girlies population x) <3
YAYY THANJ UUUU ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ◍) (⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̷̤ꇴᵒ̴̶̷̤⸝⸝)
*SPOILER FOR EASTER EGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MADE AN ACCOUNT FOR THIS GAME THIS IS INSANELY GOOD. woof for both of the love intersects bb is so nonchalant and mysterious wow/sarc but no acc hes so fine, im js confused on how he stated hes not ugly but also stated MC wouldnt like his face, babes idc if he looked like a rotten trash bag his protective-ish personality makes up for it LOLOL and for my fine babe my amazing lane?? at first i was like yeaaa im so gonna hate him... but dude no oml i like him sm maybe more than bb but we havent seen more info of bb.. so i like em both equally for now!! can i just pick both!! im obsessed with everythin oml uhdqeiuduhqwudquiwu also u have rlly nice character writing style, every character is well written and you paid attention to making everything you say/pick lead up into another situation!! i cant find the code :c yet..
ik its in the store bathroom but im so sosososo stupid rn LOL
Good luckkkkkk, i personally love the easter eggs in this game, it's such a treat!
I FOUND ITTTT , also i noticed how the moon is mentioned, and also when we talk to bb about the sky we say smth ab not likin the moon? hmm
Maybe hehehehhe, soooo many comments are for Lane, makes me feel bad for BB ;w; We need to give more love to him toooo
ikr?? but when i defend bb and lane is sad i feel so bad like oml kill me i cant pick.
Oh lmao, i love seeing Lane sad, it was his fault we were drenched in the rain ykwim
made a whole account for this.. um i love this pls finish it i lit finished the entire game routes in one sitting... haahhaha im obsessed with how you wrote each character im going crazy i need both of them at the same damn time
i am already writing a lot these days pookie! :3 maybe shift 3 will be finished before the end of the year :3 (thank you so much, writing them was the hardest part ngl xD)
u did so well icl!! will be drawin fanart.. where do i submit them!!
i am a lot active on Tumblr, its on my profile!! u are so sweet!! :3 <3
really loved the game. Finishing it left me empty... not lying
WHATT DONT SAY THAT!!! xD
Hopes? Dreams? I survive to live the day, hour, minute, second, of BB's face and backstory reveal.
Good game ;3 worth to play. Naturally, a story needs to build tension and expectation, you understood the assignment... but NOT THIS HARD SIS OK
THANK UUUU POOKIEE!! :3 <3
I went into this thinking id like the biker boy more and then LANE SHOWS UP HOT DAMN- anyway this game is fantastic your doing amazing i cant wait for shift 3 <3 (plus i love what you did with lanes backstory its very peak)
the comment section is infected by Lane lovers... poor BB... xD (THANK YOU POOKIE, i promise ull have a lot more about Lane :3)
YESSSS THANK YOU TWIN >:D
lanes hot + funny fuck me. In all honesty, this game takes an interesting approach to storytelling and navigation, particularly as an interactive experience. I love how the story builds upon itself and keeps me curious for more. Plus, there's a diverse set of characters in terms of personality, like biker boy being a sweet, shy person in contrast to an arrogant and raunchy person like Lane. Overall, can't wait for the final release of this game!!
THANK YOU SO MUCHHH <3 :3 i wont disappoint!! x)
UR WELCOME!!! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
omfg this is so good
Lane girl here! What a masterpiece. This man has me so downbad for him that Biker Boy's interference irritated even me. Lane annoys and charms me at the same time I can't wait for Shift 3 help me...
honestly, understandable pookie xD writing Lane is sometimes SO funny xD
DIDN’T FINISH THE GAME (im on shift 2) BUT I HAVE TO WRITE A REVIEW BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 100000/100000 IT LITERALLY MADE ME GIGGLING, BLUSHING WHILE PLAYING. LOVE U DEVS
Tell me if your a BB stan or a Lane stan after hehehe
OKAY I HAVE PLAY THE GAME 2 TIMES AND DEF A LANE GIRLIE. Hes just too fine…
LMAOOO, where are my BB girlies but i do understand where your coming from lol. He's actually so good at fliting and when he blushes its sooooo cute!!
BB girlie here <3 im literally obsessed
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH THANK U BESTIE SO GLAD U LIKED IT AND U LOVED LANE<3
I'm usually pretty indifferent to the visual novels I play, but this one? It actually hits different. LIKE, BB is just so dayum good 😝 I hope your pillow is cold on both sides 🙏🏻🙏🏻
THANK UUU POOKIE :3<3
Nah actually what happened when i was gone, wdym theres a code and stuff, weren't we all talking about how we stan Lane more than BB. I mean that's where the comments where was when shift 2 first released, can someone give me some info about the code. Like from reading the comment's i see theres a hidden code thing (i'm assuming it's an easter egg) and we have to rename ourselves to it? As in restart the game and rename in shift 1 or? Also how do you know if you've found the code as well, does it tell you or-? I do know from the comment's it's in Mad Dog Convenience, though i'm pretty sure i found it but dont know how exactly to apply and determind if it's right. Also who found this, gng the information took me by surprise.
pookie if you put the right code, it sends u directly on the easter egg dw x) (its like Lane erased BB existence fr)
please whats the code ive been trying to find it for atleast an hour dude 😭
Ngl and hour sounds like nothing tee hee, i've spent more looking for the rest of the easter eggs
Soo you know the code? Please tell :]
Yeah, I found the code when looking for easter eggs but didn't know it was a code just thought it was part of the thing.
Spoiler:
It's in the bathroom
Okay TYYY, glad i didn't get spoiled lol
may i ask where to put the code? 😭
instead of ur name in shift 1!! :3
I spent the whole week studying, but anxious to play! I drew one in my own style and another in yours and I’m absolutely obsessed with everything! I did every ending and hunted down every tiny detail I could. I love your game and I seriously love you for making it.
I got out of 'Shift 2' totally fixated on Biker Boy and after playing it I low-key started crushing on Lane too! ☠️ WTF — I used to hate that jerk, how is he making me laugh this hard? Biker Boy’s adorable and Lane’s hilarious, I want both!
I didn’t expect my feelings to flip like this, but I guess I just didn’t know Lane well enough. You nailed the character development and I’m so happy about it — I have SO MANY QUESTIONS! Instead of clearing up 'Shift 1', you sent me off with like 50 new theories 🫵🏻
I LOVED MYSELF IN YOUR ART LINES (I tried to make it) <3
I FREAKING LOVE ITTTTT YOU ARE SO GORGEOUSSS <3<3<3 u even did the stockroom AWWW XDD<3<3
STOPPPP you’re making me blush, I’m happy you liked both! I made them just for you.
OMGGG THIS IS SOO BEAUTIFUL AAAAAAAAAAAA THE EYES HEART LMFAOOO XDDD<3 THANK U SO MUCH BESTIE!!<3<3 i think EVERYONE became a Lane lover bc of shift 2 tbh xDDD!! SOME QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED ON SHIFT 3 DW x)
I freaking LOVE when he looks like that, he’s TOO CUTE. I couldn’t not draw that iconic expression. And listen, I’ve been burned by devs who just gave up before, don’t you dare stop, we NEED more of this! But take your time, okay? Luv ya <3
LOV U BESTIE :3 <3 i wont give up dont worry <3
i'm so in love with this game!! it really does feel like the choices you make matter with all the different dialogue you get as a result (especially at the end of shift 2), which is something i find rare in most visual novels—not to mention the navigation feature of the store and MC's house. i'm so excited to see more <3
thank you so much bestie <3<3 your choices will matter even more on shift 3 (for obvious reasons xD)
I Never thought Id find a Biker Boy dressed all in black and covered in tats cute but you did it. I loved this
THANK UU POOKIE!!<3<3
All deserved doll. Cant wait for whats next
I AM SOOOO OBSESSED WITH THIS! OML!
ngl im an avid consumer of visual novels ever since i was in highschool till now that im a full grown working adult, so u can just guess how many ive tried lol. i wasnt expecting much since tbh im picky with prose and dialogue but this was amazing from start to finish! I LOVE how you wrote the two bad dogs, especially Lane. He is so consistent as a character and his flaws make genuine sense. Its not there just to make a cliche checklist, i feel like he really is human and complex. I understand MC so much! Like....I wanna strangle Lane so bad but he can be so freaking funny and charming too...like wow i wanna kiss him but also slap him in the face and knock him down several pegs.
I cant say much about biker dude since i barely know him but he is so cute! Im so curious y he's deranged for MC and his character, you know...his POV at the end of shift 2 was such a big tonal change from how he is with MC. SO CONCERNING! SO DELICIOUSLY RIPE WITH LORE.
Edit: i just finished a BB branch...WTF wow so theyre really both chauvinistic pigs. I'm crying it was so jarring from this "nice" guy persona. That part where he got mad at MC was like being drenched in ice it really struck that part of me when i was younger and had to carry the men...Hes not wrong its just...it makes me really mad he saw that you know? ugh like...its just touches that raw part of you that wants justice but maybe you stopped hoping for it because it never changes anyway and u had to swallow the patriarchy and keep your head down as a woman and u wanna just strangle people who sees that weak, oppressed part of you because its humiliating. UGH the way MC just has that fawn response ingrained into her in conflicts with men...I GET HER SO MUCH...Amelia lets build a woman utopia fr.
Im heartbroken about Amelia and y she has become so cold to MC... SO MYSTERIOUS I MUST KNOWWWW. The fallout mustve been about something terrible
I also love MC she is such a breath of fresh air! she isnt a wilting flower, she's funny, can dish out as much as Lane can give, and her lines are charming too, i can see why Lane and biker boy like her!
ALSO! This whole yandere/obsession men have is definitely DRENCHED in misogyny i AM SO GLAD you've written it so expertly in game. Like wow ive never seen a piece of yan VN where this is so clearly stated again and again. I love your characters so much and I am in love with the way you write. I like how you show rather than tell and sprinkle in lore in a way thats believable and natural. I hope you never stop writing I am such a huge fan of it and I will definitely follow all your creative work from now on
OMFGGG SUCH AN HONOR!!! i am so HAPPY you liked it pookie!! i was seriously about to cry when i read your comment xDD writing is definitely the hardest part, but knowing that all my effort was worth it really encourages me to work even harder <3
dont worry, i am already writting shift 3 and you are so right about how i "show rather than tell" cuz shift 3 will be A LOT about that xDD!! thank you SO MUCH!!!! <3<3
girllll i stalked ur tumblr, and all the comments here HAHA OMG U LIKED Forcefully yours too!!! I was just thinking BB reminds me of Lionbright from Forcefully yours when i played for the first time, and i was kind of comparing how much i liked BOTH of fuzzycuff's writing style and yours! I love u guys equally btw!!! I miss riker so much, i hope fuzzycuffs is okay.
i'm buzzing lol i hope time speeds tf up because i want to read it all from start to finish and devour all the lore! but srsly, as Lane says "im gonna wait so hard baby" XD (im gonna bark so good ,baby)
YESS I HOPE THEYRE OKAY!! <3
im working on shift 3 everyday dont worry! i hope to release it before or on my birthday (its on december 17 :3) <3
How many shifts will be there? ^_^
there will be around maybe 6 or 7 ♡

WAIT? wdym hes gna die...
i wil see muehehhheheheheh...
uahh its rly good, but how do you make them shake handsss??
POOKIE!!!
«to have that scene you have to have a date with Lane but DONT flirt with him, then ull end up in the neutral route during the beef and you have to choose "stop them both" :3!!»
ty smm<3
i've finish all the the route and omg i love it so much. it's more realistic and we can really appreciate the characters more and not too rush and putting some development between the characters and how some outcome do not lead the same way (i really like slow burn romance, got me giggle and kicking my feet ><). it only shift 2 but i still want moreeee. the game is very good and nice, not too heavy on the plot and idk or it just me the game is very relaxing except for the jumpscare of course :P. one question though, do we really can't accept the dare when Lane dare us to drink the alcohol? because i was hopping we can. shhgdgdsh (i'm not being a creep i swear). but if we can't it's fineee ^^. one last time, thank you creator for making this game and hopping to see more of your game in the future.
THANK YOU SMMM POOKIE!! :3 <3
NO! you can actually accept his dare! with Amelia during the flashback you have to choose "something else" option!
actually choosing to accept his dare unlock a whole new branch during the beef between BB and him! :3
LE GASP thank you much !!!!!!! the little detail tough! aaaaa
so heyy im back with my mc drawing<33 its not really good but i just wanted to show my admiration for your work hehe:) ( idk how to render btw 🥀) i’ll draw the others too:^ *only if i have time *
THATS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL OMGGGG THE AMELIA WRITTEN AWWWWWWW shes a love interest too btw!!! :3 she is absolutely GORGEOUS POOKIE!! <3<3 thank you so much!!! <3<3<3<3 I LOVE UUUUUU :3
THANK YOUU:) I love You Tooo<33,i'll draw and post the others on my X ,IG and maybe tik tok too :33 . I'll always be there to support you Cutiee:>
I loved playing this, im so curious about what BB looks like. i wonder if we will ever find out
THANK UU POOKIE :3 you wont, maybe only his eyes tho xDDD
it might be me being a wuss but i'm actually crazy scared in some parts of this game!!! intentional or not i was lwk dying when i had to do stuff by myself. i accidentally unpaused a video on my laptop while i was checking the employee entrance and i nearly shit myself since the guy speaking in the video was full on monologuing.
this is a fire game though i'm so glad i decided to give it a try i'm like the #2 lane fan i could fix him (i could not). bbd has crazy good writing and i've been up for like 4 hours playing and replaying this whoops
also i accidentally died in my first playthrough!!! whoops!! my bad for wanting to pull lane away!!!
LMFAOOOOOOOO U GETTING SCARED XDDD im like the #99999999999 Lane fan btw x) that man is annoying asf
Oh goodness THE HIDDEN BACKGROUND IN THE STOCK BATHROOM!! It took me so long to discover I genuinely started thinkinh y'all are talking about something else entirely but then I just started clicking on every part of the screen in the bathroom and ohhhhh
YOU FOUND ITTTT GOOD JOB POOKIE :3<3<3
ah im dead from laughter lmfao lane is so unserious. i love this game
I FINIHSED THE ONE ROUND OF PLAYTHRU N IM FNA DO ALL CHOICES NOW: GOD LIFE IS WORTH LIVING: I LITERALLY LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!! Im assuming we wont have as much lane (since he alr got lotsa screentime in sh2) in the next shift cuz of the different schedules.. ugh im going thru a lane withdrawal </3. this was so enjoyable. i love this. fav game
AAAAAAAAAA THANK UU POOKIE IM GLAD U ENJOYED IT!!! :3<3 dw youll have a ton of Lane in shift 3!! hes just so fun to write xDDD
