OKAY WHAT.MY JAW DROPPED WHEN I GOT THE STABBED HIM WITH KNIFE ENDING. LIKE.....HUH.(inside of my heart is screaming crying basically want me to throw everything)
i've seen a lot of bad comments on your page, so i wanted to clear up your feed with a genuinely positive review!
i absolutely loved the game and its concept!!!! like everyone, i also felt a bit frustrated bc i can't save my sweet bf, but i think it 100% fits the whole purpose of the game and it's really important how it also criticizes the bad sides of content creation
error143 wasn't really my cup of tea (i'm not really into micah's personality, but that's melolol), but i'm completely obsessed with the quality of your games!!! and going live hits me right on the spot!!! keep up the good work <3 love u
Trata temas que pueden funcionar perfectamente,pero no se hace con respeto, sino como una BURLA. A pesar que estéticamente es hermoso, y que el actor de voz sea GRANDIOSO, eso no salva una mala escritura. Tiene un concepto grandioso,pero está tan mal desarrollado que parece un fanfic de 2015.
Pero,a pesar de que sea un juego de finales malos es imposible negar que estéticamente es grandioso para haber sido desarrollado en un mes. Ojalá todo lo que invirtieron en la estetica lo hagan en la escritura.
I AM CRYING SO HARD RN-- and I've just seen one of the endings. Like, I read the comments to spoil myself, I didn't want to cry that hard, but DAMN-- great game tho
the first ending i got had me in tears, (all the endings to be honest), but anyways, this was such an amazing game - i wish i could play it for the first time again! i need more zilas content stat 😭😭
Hi jennny! Loved your game but it would actually be better if there was a good ending. I hated the plot, but overall, the graphics, performance was REALLYYYY GOOOOD. I might give this a rating. :)
Please don't promote that. People have already gotten banned for making alt accounts to review this game. And the fact that a better ending hinges on such an absurd amount of reviews is super scummy of the dev. (5k is more reviews than any other game in this category has. It's such a slap to the face for other devs that received theirs legitimately.)
I support the comment from above, the author just collects "dead souls" (people create accounts that will not be logged in anymore, just to rate this game)
I really wanted a good ending to this game like when he proposed I didn't think we would kill him for no reason but it's a good game none the less made me cry aswell :,3
Okay y'all i'm seeing so many comments of "this game is rushed" and stuff like that, but you guys have to take into account that this was made in a month, of course its gonna be a bit rushed, or the gameplay is gonna be short.The creator, Jenny Vi Pham wanted to make a game in a month, and this was her shot at doing so, and I think its a very very good game for her getting it done in a month. Another topic, if this is your first time playing, or if your friend is playing for the first time, tell them to not skip the content warnings?? I've seen so many people say they were shocked at the outcome of the game, but there was a disclaimer at the beginning of the game telling you to look at the content warnings before playing, and i'm tired of people trying to hate on Jenny and this game because they chose to not look at the content warnings. Before you come at jenny, she posted her reasoning of making this game on twitter, so before yelling or hating, please I beg of you, go look at her twitter.For those of you reading this, i'm not meaning to come off as rude, I'm just trying to say look at the details of a game before playing, and don't hate on the content creator, because they sometimes probably made the game for a reason, like Jenny did.But if you didn't like the game, just go play another one, don't waste time trying to criticize the creators and devs.then again, you can listen to this, or not. I really don't care, but please stop hating on Jenny.
I would also like to add that this is only my opinion, and i apologize if i offended anyone.
I don't so much have a problem that there WAS suicide in the game but more in how awfully it was written (a cheap plot twist so she could guilt her fans into reverse-review bombing her game.) If she couldn't write about such a sensitive topic respectfully and with some actual tact, it should never have been included.
I mean, obviously she can write whatever she wants, but she shouldn't be shocked when people, particularly those who have been actually impacted by suicide in some way, criticize her for it.
Edit: Also, from what I understand, the content warnings were only added to the game AFTER people complained.
First, this is a "play in browser" game that DID NOT feature content warnings during it's original release, meaning if you played this *IN* browser you'd be not given a warning prior to playing which is creator negligence. Her twitter response just added fuel to the fire, it connects some dots but overall it still doesn't make sense. As well as people should be allow to criticize things, if you post stuff on the internet (or much less make a game and beg your viewers/player/fanbase/etc to rate it 5.0 to get a "good ending.") people are going to say something about that. Did I mention overall the lack of care towards sensitive subjects?
The content warnings were not added until just a few days ago.I played the game when it was first released and again yesterday to see what's changed. It did not have that pop up box in game when i first played.
Those warnings should have been in the game from the start.I don't blame people for being shocked.
1. AESTHETICS OF THE GAME I think the overall aesthetics are quite nice, i like colour scheme. The artist did a great job drawing Zilas. Im gonna be so nitpicky but personally i dont really like how the twisch(?) UI and menu doesnt have the same vibe and colour palette as the rest but honestly, it does not matter.I also really enjoy Apollo's voice acting he did really well so props to him!
2.WRITING I am in NO position to give proper criticism as I am no writer, but this feels like a concept stage? Nothing feels complete or fleshed out it just seems like an idea that popped into the creators head one day, they worked on it a bit then published it. Only after did they realise they needed to actually make a story and rushed an overused plot twist . The pacing is a bit messed up as well and the endings are rushed. I feel like if the creator took a little bit more time to think and plan out the story better id like it alot more. The concept is quiet nice and its interesting to see this hidden meaning in visual novels. WHEN. ITS. DONE RIGHT. which this is not. also the creator saying shit about getting a good ending if the game gets more engagement is so bad.it gives the vibe that the story never was finished instead of building up hype for a new part of the story
3.RANOM POINTS OR PERSONAL PETPEEVES I hate. HATE. how theres no save, skip, load or anything that is pretty standard for visual novels, considering theres a sizeable team i expected so much more and when comparing this game to other games of similar topics or that Dark romancey ish...(?) vibe that have been one man teams, the one man team games are significantly better in features and visual novels with teams like this exceed even more with things like character customation. Overall it still keeps up that rushed feel.
PERSONALLY. I really dont like how theres so much unnecessary stuff.like the cat voice acting. i can understand a narrator, its a nice addition for people with disabilites(? i dont know im not very knowlegable about this topic so please correct me!)or people who just dont want to read, however this doesnt work since theres no auto play.
the humor...... It gives average vtuber fiend.I understand its supposed to be like this since its matching the current trends online. but it results in a very short lived game as in a couple of months all of these trends will die and it makes the game seem dated and cringe.In addition, i didnt see the point in having Zilas take off his shirt, it had no addition to the plot and just seemed like fan service bait.
In a summary, take my opinions with a grain of salt, my views are different to yours. And play another game. Theres a lot more games with better stuff that you can support ^^
There’s nothing I can add about the twists/endings that hasn’t already been said, but I have to say that including a disclaimer at the beginning of the game only to call the player “demanding” and a spoilsport if they ask to see the content warnings is… not great? Even if it’s meant to be part of the ‘meta-ness’ I imagine most first-time players will see it before even knowing about that aspect of the game, and either way it kinda comes across as patronizing at best and antagonistic at worst.

Es un juego mediocre.

The way I slammed my laptop shut when I got the ending.... WHAT???
i- ...... :(((
以下有剧透大家谨慎观看。只说缺点，优点也有很多但我很想吐槽缺点
我草我他妈惊呆了哥们，不是，error143不是很可爱的小游戏吗？？我在小红书看到作者新游立马就过来下载了，玩着玩着感觉被癫死了，，，，
利益相关我打出了一个他杀一个自杀结局
我完全没看懂，男主向观众们宣告自己要和主控订婚我心就嘎嘣一下，哥们你跟我提过吗就突然订婚，，，额，，，
再其次就是宣布订婚后主控莫名其妙拿起了刀把男主捅死了，我就belike：wtf？？男主也没有一点吃惊，跟我说不是你的错。莫名其妙啊，那是谁的错，感觉是玩这个游戏的我的错，，，
看了评论剧透说其实都是男主养的猫的问题，它是boss并且最后操控了主控。对此我有六点要讲：。。。。。。
其实这种浮士德式故事我完全没问题，但最大的问题就是作者在一整个游戏流程中完全没有明示暗示过“黑猫其实是boss”这种设定，让整个故事的转折显得十分突兀烂尾，我们itch有自己的主播女孩重度依赖，，，
2. 自杀结局
这个比起前一个没那么诡异，但也是很癫的东西。
作为一个抑郁症患者，我完全没看出男主有任何"明显的"抑郁倾向。是的，他确实说过一些暗示类的“至死分离”“咱俩能不能早点去旅游”和他有时候会焦虑，但我真没看出来他的抑郁严重到要上吊自杀的程度（我觉得如果按照前一个结局的说法，也许男主也是像dokidoki里的sayori一样是受到了boss的影响。问题是这一点在剧情里没有体现）我只觉得男主挺温柔挺粘人挺可爱。
作者姐请问你的文本是代笔写的么，明明错误143写的挺好的,,,说实话主控有时候说的话都让人汗流浃背，直呼我草牛逼情商好低。感觉这游戏像个半成品预制菜
本人玩完真是身心受创，不知道是因为我的电子蝴蝶赛博男友死了所以难过，还是作者对抑郁症的描述如此轻描淡写一笔带过让人对抑郁症刻板印象加深而难过。以及我觉得这游戏应该大概可能也许（叠甲）受到了一点主播女孩重度依赖和ddlc的影响，男主也说了几句日语和喜欢的食物是寿司。这种程度影响真的无关紧要，但能不能把剧情写好点让转折没那么突兀捏
3. 吐槽
说实话这块我最看不懂。这块我是看评论区说的，想得到好结局需要达到五千评论。老天奶啊你在干什么，珍妮你和别人不一样不要把时间浪费在做游戏上，，，
首先你的坏结局要做的很震撼人心合理合情地滑落深渊让人不由得落泪才能搞这种吧，你这个结局如此突兀好像喂了玩家依托答辩，我不想吃答辩还得去努力评论拉票，老天爷，，，真不知道说什么。罢了。超级道德绑架
看小红书目前还没有中文测评，如果有看到这条评论而且想做测评的请随意拿走借用，记得标明作者。总之我不太推荐大家玩，而且美工良莠不齐也是个大问题，看到前面老公帅帅的脸很安心，后面结局突然变异成蜥蜴人，吓死我了，，
4. 彩蛋
第一男主捡了个猫问chat应该起什么名，看到有个chat提议阿斯代伦我欣慰地笑了。我们博德之门也是火了
第二有人问男主怕不怕黑，男主说怕，chat适时响起hello darkness my old friend，挺萌的玩着玩着突然唱出声来最后一些也许你想知道的东西：全程配音，选项很多，前半程cg很美，没有快进和存档，全是坏结局没有好结局。
没了，祝大家玩得开心愉快
以及我并不推荐评论拉票行为，这完全是一种助长喂答辩作者的歪风邪气，很多好游戏作者都拿不到五千评论。如果有看到这条评价的中国玩家，请大家不要因为这个原因去拉票。。。如果这回让她得逞了，下回只会喂更答辩的东西和要求更高的评论标准，，，，，
I CRIED MY EYES OUT # FREAKING TIMES. OMG BRO. I HATE THIS SMM. BUT GOOD JOB ON THE GAME JENNYYYY

Hi jennny! Loved your game but it would actually be better if there was a good ending. I hated the plot, but overall, the graphics, performance was REALLYYYY GOOOOD. I might give this a rating. :)

WHEN I TELL YOU MY JAW DROPPED
HELP IM CRYING WHY IS THERE NO GOOD ENDING
WE GET ONE ONCE WE REACH 5000 REVIEWS
Please don't promote that. People have already gotten banned for making alt accounts to review this game. And the fact that a better ending hinges on such an absurd amount of reviews is super scummy of the dev. (5k is more reviews than any other game in this category has. It's such a slap to the face for other devs that received theirs legitimately.)
I was just saying no promotion or nothing :3
I support the comment from above, the author just collects "dead souls" (people create accounts that will not be logged in anymore, just to rate this game)

I would also like to add that this is only my opinion, and i apologize if i offended anyone.
I wish dislikes were still turned on so I could dislike this reply without having to openly voice my displeasure.
I just noticed that the dislikes are turned off, did the author do it or..?
It's just the first time I've seen this..
I think so. It’s because a lot of people are disliking replies in defense of Jenny, just like the latter comment.
I don't so much have a problem that there WAS suicide in the game but more in how awfully it was written (a cheap plot twist so she could guilt her fans into reverse-review bombing her game.) If she couldn't write about such a sensitive topic respectfully and with some actual tact, it should never have been included.
