Interesting concept, would the people from the world he came from start looking for him after a long while? Would make a nice arc.
I don't want to say too much to not spoil anything... But I can say that it won't be just a school life. Like said in the overview, MC was famous in his world. So people are bound to make research.

OK where are the reviews on this game? I am not sure if I can get past the 2D spinning characters and the one girl walks around with her back bent over backwards. So game is going to have to be really good to get past the graphic decision here as I hate 2D flat characters.

Hey, molitar.
If you don't like the design and art choices maybe this game will be a bit tough for you.
That beeing said, we're working hard on the next update that will give a way better view of what the game will be about.
(puzzles, main story events and more)
I hope you'll stay with us to at least check it and see for yourself.
Thank you for your interest in our game.

Hello, I enjoyed the game so far! The ideas are good and the art-style (both background and characters) is really great. The sand-box aspect can be awesome if you manage it correctly!
But there is a few thing that could be added to smooth thing up like a transition between each day, because without it,the player ask itself if the day really passed.
I await the next update with great anticipation :)

Thanks a lot for your feed back !

Yes, you cannot see it right now but I chose sandbox over a normal VN for good reasons.

But there is a few thing that could be added to smooth thing up like a transition between each day, because without it,the player ask itself if the day really passed.
Thanks for the note. Of course, I plan on working on various quality of life improvements.
I await the next update with great anticipation :)
And we hope that you will like what's coming next !

So I started a new game and pressed No to play it all. The first time the game tells me to go to school, the game breaks when I click the door:
Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

So it seems I uploaded an old version like a dumbass. It should work now if you redownload it. (Mixdrop and yourfilestore are still dead)

It's crazy how I've been writing the story for so long and haven't even thought of this ! I'm not much of a fan of harems, but I'm not closed to adding if there's enough demand.
When you know if it's going to be a harem, you indicate it, if it isn't a harem I'm not interested in starting the game, so I'm going to wait until you confirm it or not.

In any case, if you include a harem ending, specify if it's a serious one that may interest harem fans or if it's one that is rather secondary and poorly developed or humorous. Because if it's going to be one of the last options, then I wouldn't be interested in starting the game either.

I can for sure tell you that there's gonna be a harem path. But I'm still crafting the story around it as I had not planned this. For those who don't want the game to be a harem, don't worry. You will be able to play without it.

As for how it will be told. I can already say that it won't be humorous nor stupid. I'm still writing it so I cannot promise anything. I hope that answer is enough for now.
