I found this game because of Bijuu Mike, and I'm glad that I did find this. The art looks great, the music's great, everything about this game is great. I like the character designs and their personalities, especially Ben. I feel like him and Harmony are the chillest people in the game, which makes me feel like there will be a twist.. I hope this game gets more recognition! Remember me when this gets popular lol. Excited for the full game!~
Just played a bit of the game and some bug appeared. I simply spammed the save option and then the characters wouldn't move and I had to double click to see the text. When the game went to the part where you choose who to spend the night with the entire screen went white and when I clicked nothing happen but the music was playing. I really hope nobody else got this problem.
Thanks for the heads up! That sounds like quite an unusual bug, sorry that happened! Just to clarify, did the whole screen just suddenly turn white? Or was it more like the background disappeared?
I'm sad the demo didn't include Ben but great concept! Its pretty challenging even on easy, but that just made it more fun to try and beat. Are the characters available in the demo going to be the same in the full release? Kinda sad Ben's the only guy lol
hi! the game looks very nice and cool in my opinion. but it's a lot harder to play with 5 lines, if it's possible can you make it in the settings for the game to only have 4? thank you. :)
I can't get past the overdrive lmaoo rhythm games are really not for me, even in easy I can't do it! But the game, from the little I've seen of it, is really cool!
So far the most interesting game I've see on Itch but what is painful(at least for me) is that there are 5 columns from where notes appear. I don't think anyone else is bothered but for me , who got used to 4 , is pretty hard to add another finger on the keyboard (Played Ro-beats on roblox and got the habit of using only 4 fingers). However I'll keep struggling until the game is fully released because the songs and story are addicting.
same i love robeats and when i found out there were five columns i got kinda scared since im so bad and im only used to using 4 fingers but i got used to it pretty quickly and i reccomend using askl;
Hey love the game. Super frustrating especially on hard mode but still fun. I also want to address a bug. If you save the game in the middle of an overdrive and re-load the save Not only you will go back to the beginning but also the screen will have the overdrive effect w/o having an overdrive. But aside from the bugs lovely game mate, Cant wait for the full game and get my fingers sore XD
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!!

It seems like it could be an interesting game

Hi Mr Crow,
Thanks for the heads up! That sounds like quite an unusual bug, sorry that happened! Just to clarify, did the whole screen just suddenly turn white? Or was it more like the background disappeared?
I Love this game, (my favorite is Jenny), Also where can i find the soundtrack because its AMAZING.
Thank you! The soundtrack will be released with the full game :)
For now, there are teasers on the Serial Lover YouTube channel
Then, i cant wait for the full game.
so is the full game not out?
Not yet, but you can follow SerialLoverDev on Twitter for updates!
Hello i use linux and im wondering where are the commands to unzip it?
Hi Trxll,
You should be able to unzip it by following the steps shown under the Answers section here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/86849/how-to-unzip-a-zip-file-from-the-terminal
i use deb linux not ubuntu
ubuntu is based off of debian, also you should be able to right click and press 'extract'. btw I use arch
I'm sad the demo didn't include Ben but great concept! Its pretty challenging even on easy, but that just made it more fun to try and beat. Are the characters available in the demo going to be the same in the full release? Kinda sad Ben's the only guy lol
Hi Kyla,
Thank you! Yep, the full release will have the same six characters, but they won't be locked like in the demo. Ben best (only) boy ;__;
Shawty in the black fine, no cap, like i she could kill me...............SIMP
No booba... very disapointed. Did not have sex with Andria :(
im just dum and asking if there a way to get the full?
Hi jonze,
Not yet! The full game is planned to be releasing later this year :)
yay someone did tell me :3
hi! the game looks very nice and cool in my opinion. but it's a lot harder to play with 5 lines, if it's possible can you make it in the settings for the game to only have 4? thank you. :)
I can't get past the overdrive lmaoo rhythm games are really not for me, even in easy I can't do it! But the game, from the little I've seen of it, is really cool!
Love both rhythm games and VNs. Pretty astonishing experience!
P.S. all this gender bender stuff with a real serial killer is neat too!
this game is sooo good!
I can translate your game into Spanish, if you wish.
I just want to say that the songs are AWESOME and the gameplay is crazy addicting.
I love this game hope I can afford it when it fully develops
(also hoping for 18+ scenes)
Thank you! There will be an 18+ patch with the final release :)
;-;
i really like the songs for this game
when the full game will be released? I love this game
Hey mary0rr, the full game is planned to release in the later half of this year!
Very nice game it was a pleasure to play this demo cant wait for full release

same i love robeats and when i found out there were five columns i got kinda scared since im so bad and im only used to using 4 fingers but i got used to it pretty quickly and i reccomend using askl;
i mean i can see why its painful but guitar hero/rock band have 5 buttons. and if you play on medium difficulty you only use 4 columns soo
when is the full game coming out?
The full game is estimated to release some time in the third quarter of this year!
Hey love the game. Super frustrating especially on hard mode but still fun. I also want to address a bug. If you save the game in the middle of an overdrive and re-load the save Not only you will go back to the beginning but also the screen will have the overdrive effect w/o having an overdrive. But aside from the bugs lovely game mate, Cant wait for the full game and get my fingers sore XD
Whoopsy, didnt notice that bug LOL.
Thank you, glad you like it!!
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
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.

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!

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! :)

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!
