Hey there! I’m really glad that you decided to write this story. You did an amazing job because my heart ached all the while as I was playing:((( I feel really bad for Drew, and I could really relate to the relationship between Drew and the MC. I feel terrible for the MC too, because I know that it’s the people left behind who will continue carrying the pain. I really love your story, and I hope you are doing better nowadays. Thank you:)

Really love everything in the demo. Really tugged at the heart strings, and I’d love to see where the story is going from here.

I especially like how good the content that’s there for trans characters is, it adds a lot.

Wow … I won’t go to deep into details, but some years ago something really similar to the events written in the story happened to me, and you have no idea how much I resonate with the mc, how useless you feel and the anger that had no objective but is inside, how you cling to the faintest memory of that person… Your story was somewhat relieving and I can’t wait to see more of it

This is one of the best wip I have read so far. This wip should have gotten more attention. Even though it is in very early stage, I am completely hooked. I have read many other wip but mostly it’s like the MC is going with the flow of the story rather than having an aim what to do. Here MC has a very clear sense of motivation for revenge and the right to do so. Even without the ROs, the story is engaging enough. Kudos to the author. I really hope you continue this.:pray:

Is there a Japanese movie with similar plot? I didn’t read the demo yet. Just asking after reading the synopsis

Edit: After some googling, it’s not a movie but a TV series named Mr.Hiiragi’s homeroom

First of all, love the name I simply love it.

Second, I am so hook right now and super anxious for an update. Thanks for the hard work.

Agh this game really hit me in the feel ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀) despite only knowing Drew for a short time, their death really hit me and the needs to make the bullies pay is so strong asdfghjkl and what I love about this is the angst. It doesn’t matter whether your MC able to successfully executed their revenge on the people who are responsible for Drew’s death or not. It won’t bring back your best friend back. And that fact is the reason I cry after finishing the demo
omg-no
Anyway this is a really good game. Can’t wait for the next update

Are we absolutely not allowed to trash Bethany’s house? Is this something that can be changed? I realize practically it doesn’t seem like a good idea in that situation since we are leaving traces of our presence but the MC justified it by saying the owners would think it was a robbery. In my playthroughs the MC always says they are too tired to do it by the end, am i making the wrong choices?.

They do talk to people about it, and it never goes anywhere. The MC laments that the police officer they are with seems somewhat competent and might have made a difference if they had helped before drew died.
Adults being unable and unwilling to confront/acknowledge serious bullying isn’t exactly unrealistic either, it happens in real life.

That was a rollercoaster of emotions. You are really good with that. The only thing I thought was out of place, perhaps, a reporter character.
I really hope to see a full version… Will definitely check and replay from time to time.

Thank you very much for all your kind words, I’m absolutely floored with all the support the story keeps getting! :star_struck: Tragically, progress has been extremely slow, but the game is not dead. Never, never doubt that I appreciate everything you guys say, I read all of your comments and keep them in mind :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

If you really, really want to know, the identity of the secret RO has something to do with (or might even be!) Mary-Ann. Take it as you will :japanese_ogre:

Animal cruelty won’t be a part of the story :confused: The revenge is centered in those directly involved!

I am not familiar with it, but the game is a revenge story: it will probably resonate with many others from the same genre :grinning:

It’s not possible in the current demo, but I’ll think about giving the choice in the future :slight_smile:
