It was quite confusing as I progressed forward. Just when I thought I got it, it lost me again. There is not much thing we can do to change any part of the story either. So I was quite disappointed since the idea is interesting, it just lacks persecution.
I loved the artstyle! The game had much potential but as I played the game longer and longer it left me confused, I didnt know what was happening at all
While i think the game has a lot of potential, I feel the interactions and emotions were very forced. I rlly don't know how else to word it other than taking more time to flesh out the interactions between the characters in the game would really help the plot and make y/n's feelings make more sense. The script was also very hard to follow and had sentences/ interactions that didn't really make sense to me (I'll just assume this one's a language barrier tho). Also, at one point during the dialogue, whenever we spoke it would say that Liotte was talking and vice versa.
Positives:
The art style was super cute!! I like how everything compliments each other in the C/BG's, a sight for sore eyes fr. Also the concept of the game is super fun & I liked being able to travel to Liotte's stage to snoop through his stuff >:3. The characters personalities are pretty consistent, and you can really feel the one-track-mind mentality when reading Liotte's dialogue.
Summary I guess lmao:
Overall, I think it's worth a play. Even with the complications w/ the script I was able to piece together what you were getting at, and I quite liked the endings. Plus, everything's pretty to look at, so my tiny little pea brain is content!
I love the story concept, the art, the effects and background music -- each thing really ties the game all together.
As others have mentioned, I will say that the blunt translation confused me just a few times; but was at least comprehensible with an interesting concept that convinced me to keep playing.
Overall a decent game with visible potential. (Love the character designs!!)
Thank you for your hard work! I really liked the idea of the game world. Liotte is such a cutie! But that question mark in the title of a good ending haunts me, ahah
I have to say, I was confused at what was going on due to the progression of the plot and translation. But I stuck around and explored a bit more until I roughly have an idea on what the story is actually happening here.
But I just want to say that I absolutely adore the visuals and choice of design, it was so aesthetically pleasing while also curious over what's happening. And while it was confusing, I found myself interested over the story that was being shown and what it could mean.
But aside from the wonky pacing, writing, and translation, this was such an interesting story and I just love how the visuals compliment one another and the music seemed to fit the mood. My only complaint is to make it a bit more coherent but aside from that, it was a great bittersweet story.
Now, theory time~!
Just like the visual novel stated, the plot is set in a time loop, I think the transition of the TV showing static an dthe black and white background with a frustrated Liotte shows that with the amount of times Liotte has been looping the day, it became burned into MC's mind the longer this happened that they can remember vague words, emotions towards Liotte, and even scenes. The reason why Liotte is continuously looping the day is most likely because he either lost his MC in his original world before going mad with grief over losing MC that he searched for ways to bring them back, eventually leading to a fateful meeting with Ivan who might be the "Nevi" that was told during the script in the investigation sequence.
If not Nevi, then he most likely is a God who handles nevi then because of how he acts and his general attitude towards MC saying they have no choice and how he meddles. He probably enjoys Liotte suffering which is why he'll tamper with MC's mind and will (such as the scene where Liotte asks if he and MC could meet up face to face and if you choose the "Yes" option, you won't be able to with a background mocking and commanding you). Another thing I think of is happening is that either this MC is another version of MC in a different universe or something else, and they are trapped in an illusion handled mostly by Ivan because both MC and Liotte (him especially) have no actual free will and can only abide to whatever rules Ivan has.
Why I think this is true is in the Good Ending where the last CG shows the sky glitching out and the title "Reality?" showing that the world MC is in, isn't real and is just an endless loop unless MC themselves breaks it with their decision to stay with Liotte, or either abandon Liotte by taking Ivan's hand and leaving him in the loop world as shown in Bad Ending 1.
I most certainly think that Ivan is pulling the strings and MC is just an unknown part of this entire thing, held their against their knowledge, and Liotte is desperately trying to bring back MC (his lover) back even if it means restarting the entire loop so that they can fall in love with him or rely on him a lot more. Makes the Good Ending bittersweet because they've lived practically majority of their life in that loop and now no idea what will happen to them beyond that.
I really liked your theory , just wanted to say that in the part of
"why Liotte is continuously looping the day is most likely because he either lost his MC in his original world before going mad with grief over losing MC that he searched for ways to bring them back"
i remember in the game liotte says to the mc " since you went missing" so i don't think mc died, but could've, and the photos that liotte have in the backstage that seems to be from cctv angles may add to the mc being missing, i don't know if they were lovers, but maybe knew each other in their childhood?.
Then to the part where we ask liotte why he was doing a tv host, he say is because we were "assigned as the first guest of the show" so definitely Ivan is Nevi and he put them both in this situation, i also think he were the one that put the flyer on the TV since liotte can't leave from inside the tv (i think)
and the fact liotte is a writer too.. idk i feel that the answer is maybe in the itens in the backstage but idk
anyywayy this game was so fun i wished it was longer, definitely obsessed with liotte and his design, he's like a misture of furina and scaramouche design sense like, or maybe lyney? :D
Oh that is so true. I have to agree with your thoughts about MC not dying, I initially thought they were dead because it could make the reason why Liotte was so frantic in wanting MC to come back to them, but we can attribute that madness to the direct result of a constant time loop practically traumatizing Liotte into losing whatever remnants of MC there is.
I think that Liotte holds romantic intentions towards MC before even the loop occurred due to the "stalking" items we find in the backstage. But if we go with the missing scenario, Liotte might be doing an intense investigation trying to find MC which can be written of ass stalking and harassment (especially if Ivan put those things into focus during a period where Liotte was becoming unstable to MC). Another thing I was curious about is if Liotte is only trapped in a TV show, if he wasn't and he was just trapped into a TV would that mean the CCTV footage of MC was him stalking MC? But that wouldn't make much sense because the time loop only happens on one day and the pictures of MC must have been done over a few days and so on so this must have been done before the time loop occurred.
Also I get the comparison between Liotte towards Furina, Scaramouche, and Lyney~! Though I have to say Liotte's design and general coy attitude leans more to Lyney instead of Furina's boisterous show business attitude while Scaramouche's trauma of abandonment and bouts of mood disruptions mirror how Liotte's mental state deteriorates the longer we converse with him.
I can't be the only one that didn't understand ANYTHING of the story, right?? Where did Ivan (or Navi or whoever the fuck he is) came from?? What was the backstory between Lottie and mc?? WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE DOING IN MY HOUSE???
I remember starting this game last year when it was just a demo ( a really short one at that haha ) I came back to it as a full version game now ahh... hopefully I'd get to start the game once I have the time to do so
The game was extremely confusing. The writing is full of mistakes and is very blunt, lacks nuance, is too redundant and heavily descriptive. It's too bad because I love the art style and I think this could have potential. For the paid version, I think making sure the English is correct and beta-ing the writing would be a good idea.
The music switches too fast in my opinion. And I felt that we don't really have a choice in the mood of the game. We may choose one option but it doesn't necessarily have an effect ?
I'm sorry, I wish I could have liked it. Good luck for the rest and thank you for making this free version available.
I had a little bit of trouble understanding the english a bit but I think I got the gist of the story playing and I really liked his Victorian outfit lol. Very interesting twist for the plot! Best of luck on the full version!
i really liked the artstyle and the concept but the translation to english was pretty faulty. i think if there's a better translation it would be perfect but honestly i understood nothing about the story qwq
i got good ending 3 in my first try. Wdym reality w/ a question mark and why Liotte still have glitchy effects around his body and I need more infos of the past(T_T)
bro this absolutely broke me ngl, idk how but i am emotionally attached to liotte and i cant even bring myself to get the bad ends now or delete the game help
