Is it always going to have those Bakemonogatari-like sequences, or will it end up at some point having a regular style without all the epilepsy-inducing flashes that made me drop that series so long ago?

The Bakemonogatari stuff is cool but I think it only really works well if it is in short burst that are spread apart throughout a more traditional structure. As it stands the constant barrage only serves to confuse people and make it harder to resonate with the plot.

With that said I do like the game(/kinetic novel?) and am willing to stick with it, as it has actually been pretty interesting so far, just wish it was a bit easier for my potato-brain to decipher.

You clearly never watched Bakemonogatari, those sequences are clearly inspired from it and i think they're brilliant
I haven't seen that... series, movie?

>> I'm planning to add sandbox-ish features to the game in the next update.
It's nice, I like sandbox games.

I think that I will see how it works in the next update. (y)

I thought this game would be fun but no it's a fucking headache it takes to long to do anything the stupid background pop up with the Asian letters makes everything take longer to go through then would ever be needed

Disappointing game ... I recently bought a rescue Golden Retriever dog and was hoping for some training tips. Sadly didn't find anything useful here.

So finally read 0.6.0 and I suspect the girl is more of his memories most likely in the sexual/athletic side of it especially from her actions.

I'm so confused. If two people were the same guy once and now one of them is a female and they fuck. Is it considered gay or masturbation?

To me, no sandbox mode is alright. In fact i prefer just a visual novel with choices. If no branching paths, at least one choice in the ending.

Okay so I couldn't get myself to finish this, the story is a bit hard to follow, I'm in love with the visuals- most of the characters are bland but look pretty great. I'm not a fan of any to be honest, most mean spirited for little to no reason. This VN looks like it's in need of more bugfixes since there's been instances of nametags being used on the wrong people (looking at you pink haired chick), missing image errors on the prior "judgement" scenes and some events that felt cut off. From what I've gathered on this thread apparently the dev cut off some dialogue and content and if that's the case then it's already a hefty red flag for me. Anyway I'm holding off for now, this definitely has promise, the premise is unique and I'm sure you'll be able to turn this into something amazing in the future. Best of luck.
