The music is nice, character designs are cool, but the gameplay has two “flaws”(In my opinion).
It would be cool to have a 6 line option, as odd lane numbers tend to be a bit wonky for some players. Also, the Overdrive is cool, but it doesn’t get any importance because it’s not really necessary. If there were a score threshold to clear a song, it would encourage more the use of overdrive.
the same happened for me, too. If you have a windows 10 PC, you can disable smartscreen if you really REALLY want to play the itch.io version. Alternatively, the game demo is available for free on steam as well.
oh hello, second comment in a row. While replaying andria on hard (im not very good) i seem to have selected jenny? in the demo? it has dialog after i selected her from ben and then edwina. Is this some kind of bug or some kind of easteregg? if its an easteregg i'll happily pry, but if it'll shatter the game i might pry anyway..
Ha! Nope, definitely not an easteregg - but not the worst thing that could happen LOL. Do you have any idea how you were able to do that? It looks like in the video you quickly selected Jenny before the choices came up, but that's not supposed to be allowed S:/<
Really enjoyed edwina and andria's music! their songs were great, props to the composers. I checked out the kickstarter and i had a question. I know that if i pledged CA$10+ I would have my name in the credits, and i would recieve a copy of the game, but i was wondering how i would receive the copy? would i be sent the file or a code on steam or something? thanks!
Copies of the game will be given to backers primarily through Steam codes upon release. Unfortunately it's too late to back the project now though, as the campaign only ran through the month of August :(. Good news is that funding was a success and you can expect the full game to be released some time next year!
Are you pressing the notes when they're on the colored indicators? Some people get confused by the hearts at the bottom of the lanes, but those are just decoration and not the actual hitboxes. Pressing the notes at the wrong time will make you lose faster, so I assume this may be what's happening :O
This is a good game overall. I really like the concept.. The only thing is that I wish is that when you select an option to say something, right after somebody kills you. I think it should impact your relationship with the characters, not them killing you.. or maybe even them having more desire to kill you.
Had a lot of fun playing this! The art is good, and the rhythm game songs are pretty bumpin'. Looking forward to seeing more of this in the future; especially how the other girls' stories and songs will play out like! Keep up the good work!
hey!! i finished the game earlier today and its very good! the story is interesting and the character designs are amazing. one complaint i have is the rhythm game aspect. its very interesting, since ive never seen one in a dating sim before, and i like that originality. however, my problem is that the hitbox for where you can get a perfect score is quite small and not well indicated. i was very confused in the tutorial when i tried it for the first time, but i eventually got it. another thing is about how the missed notes double hit. i assume it was originally for a second chance and getting the note right if you hit too early, but if you hit too late it double hits you. you can lose very quickly because of this and it was very frustrating. other than these two small details, im very excited for the full game to come out!
Hey vored, sorry for the late reply! Glad you enjoy the game so far!
A few people have complained about the double miss issue, so I'm thinking I may make it so the player has invincibility for a second after missing. Hopefully that should prevent the feeling of being bombarded by misses!
Hey just finished playing this. First off, it's great! I had a lot of fun with it. My only complaints were that, if I activated overdrive, the game would lag noticeably, but I'm also am playing on the equivalent of a toaster. The other complaint was that I wished there were a setting to increase or decrease the visual delay of the notes so I could calibrate it for my display. It seemed like the notes were always noticeably slower than the music but it could just be a performance thing, I'm not sure. Anyway thank you for making this it was a good time and I look forward to seeing where it goes!
Hey dkneeland, Thanks for letting me know about the overdrive lag! I'll find a way to address that in a future update. I've also been meaning to add the note offset, but that will probably have to be a bit into the future as well. Glad you enjoyed the demo so far!!
I just finished the game and I can probably say this is one of those games Im exicted to see! I REALLY want to play the full version! No rush take your time but do you have a date you are planning on releasing the games full version cause Im in LOVE with it!
i just finished this game while on a call with a friend, and istg im in love with andria. great game, i eventually got the hang of it and it was really fun! i love the artstyle and character design, i think i'll cosplay andria! (if anyone wants to watch out for that, my instagram is kai.__kun )
i would love fucking the reincarnation of jeffrey dahmer, a serial killer known for the murder of 17 people and also for being a necrophhiliac and a canibalist
that aside, the game is good, like the rhythm minigame sections are solid, but the dialogue is a bit tacky, the characters are really just stereotypes, angry tsundere, soft baby uwu girl etc
I love to play dating sims my dude, I enjoyed the rhythm game aspect even if I'm bad at it as the music was nice enough to keep me going the demo was short sweet and played up the gameplay aspects of the game and I would say it was a pretty good use of half an hour playing it.
Fun game! The difficulty set for the rhythm minigame is just right, but I like that you can change it to whatever you want. Dialogue is interesting and it's easy to like the characters
I played through the extended demo that Cajji was gracious enough to allow me to try out, and uploaded it to my channel! Thank you again so much for giving me access to this, my friend!
My commentary and editing may be a bit shakey after being away for a while, but I loved this little snippet of Ben's route. I can't wait to see what comes next!
The graphics are amazing! A truly amazing experience! The music and characters are great and lovable! I think this game could have a lot of great potential!
Wow honestly I really love this game! I'm so excited to see more of it when it's fully released. smh ben said he wanted to stay with me but i couldn't even sleep w him s m h
This game is wonderful, and I'm a huge fan of Melody. Cute artstyle, and while I usually dont like rythm games, I found myself having a lot of fun with this one! Plus, the music was amazing!
Although I am bad at rthym game, I found this game fun and it had an interesting roster of characters that give me the curiosity enough to push through the rthym sections. A very good game in my opinion.

Amazing game! I really love how hard but not unplayable it was, I also loved the story! waiting for the next release haha:)
I loved this! I need to practice those games :') I kept failing so I had to do it in easy mode (for the "Start Andria" and "Start Edwina")
Anyway, I'm also looking forward to the full release!
Cool game, looking forward to the full release
AAAAAAA I NEED THE FULL GAME

Thanks for the feedback Jen! I'm hoping to address the score issue in the final release, but I'll also consider even lanes!
But have you (the game maker) any Idea what it will cost and I already know that it will come some DLC.
Hi Emanuel,
The exact price isnt finalized just yet, but its planned to be less than twenty euros!
I hope the game will be free, the game is great, but i think it will cost something. I think it will cost like twenty dollar (Euro) but its great.
hey so uh my security thing for my computer set off when i tried to run the game, should I be worried?
the same happened for me, too. If you have a windows 10 PC, you can disable smartscreen if you really REALLY want to play the itch.io version.
Alternatively, the game demo is available for free on steam as well.
Thank you for making this, but also WHY sadly your lad has failed NNN.
And also rhythm games r kinda like my LifeeeEEE so its a two-in-one.
Well, there's always next year :')
(┳Д┳)
. . . . imo Teddy is kinda the best . . . .
When is the game coming out? I haven't had this much fun in a game for a while.
The release date is estimated to be in the 3rd quarter of 2021 :)
Glad you enjoy it so far!

nope, not a clue how it happened lol
Wow, kinda cool

im doing the first rhythm but every time i get one right the knife colors goes down and i die anyway? if i get it wrong i live a lil longer uhm

Pressing the notes at the wrong time will make you lose faster, so I assume this may be what's happening :O
yes it says i got the rhythm right but it goes even more down when its right then once i get 3 right i get murdered lol, thanks for responding btw
ah nvm i think i fixed it i just have to keep the rhythm keys as a,s,d,f,g instead of what i put lol mb
This is a good game overall. I really like the concept.. The only thing is that I wish is that when you select an option to say something, right after somebody kills you.

Wow. Number one, you dominated the rhythm game sections. Secondly, ANDRIA'S SONG ON KAZOO? Amazing.
Glad you enjoyed playing! Loved the video :)
Hope you enjoyed the video as much as we enjoyed your game! :)

I'm very excited to see where this game goes in the future! It's pretty fun already even with as little as is there!
I just finished the game and I can probably say this is one of those games Im exicted to see! I REALLY want to play the full version! No rush take your time but do you have a date you are planning on releasing the games full version cause Im in LOVE with it!
Hi Defnibow,

that aside, the game is good, like the rhythm minigame sections are solid, but the dialogue is a bit tacky, the characters are really just stereotypes, angry tsundere, soft baby uwu girl etc
im absolutely in love with this game! the rhythm game as a bit difficult for me but i find it really fun!!
I love to play dating sims my dude, I enjoyed the rhythm game aspect even if I'm bad at it as the music was nice enough to keep me going the demo was short sweet and played up the gameplay aspects of the game and I would say it was a pretty good use of half an hour playing it.
-Well Respects and Well Wishes, Soup.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! You actually did surprisingly well compared to some players LOL
haha thanks it makes me feel a bit better knowing that there are other people out there that know my pain!
-Soup
Fun game! The difficulty set for the rhythm minigame is just right, but I like that you can change it to whatever you want. Dialogue is interesting and it's easy to like the characters

Edit: Just realized I had the Mac build marked as Linux (//▽//)

I played through the extended demo that Cajji was gracious enough to allow me to try out, and uploaded it to my channel! Thank you again so much for giving me access to this, my friend!
My commentary and editing may be a bit shakey after being away for a while, but I loved this little snippet of Ben's route. I can't wait to see what comes next!
Thanks for the feedback, 778_uni!
Do you mean that the notes feel like they came too early, rather than on time?
Very nice and interesting game, the music sounds amazing, Can't wait for a new update, also may I suggest a offset setting for delayed input?
Thanks GT500! Good thinking, an offset setting is added on the to-do list :)
The graphics are amazing! A truly amazing experience! The music and characters are great and lovable! I think this game could have a lot of great potential!
Amazing, I really enjoyed this game and I highly recommend it. The songs are so addicting to play! Can't wait for more updates.
Wow honestly I really love this game! I'm so excited to see more of it when it's fully released.
smh ben said he wanted to stay with me but i couldn't even sleep w him s m hcan you please not make your game girl with big boobs, i dont want to play this game but my pp always brings me here

idk if Andria's track was created by you alone, but i'd like to know the name of it :)
All the music is original! The full song isn't available yet, but you can listen to the teaser on YouTube :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvkN4pn4bI
Why cant i get with Teddy or Harmony(i know bc its in demo)
This game is wonderful, and I'm a huge fan of Melody. Cute artstyle, and while I usually dont like rythm games, I found myself having a lot of fun with this one! Plus, the music was amazing!
Very nice game, it's also my first rythm game, the Andria level is a real challenge I took almost one hour to complete it, very nice songs also, GG
Although I am bad at rthym game, I found this game fun and it had an interesting roster of characters that give me the curiosity enough to push through the rthym sections. A very good game in my opinion.
"i got horny"
Serial Lover gives a new meaning to Dangerously in Love. A good demo, lovely artwork & music. :)
