This VN is damn awesome :D it's like reading one of your comics, but intensified 1000x haha
Waiting for more updates!! :D
*SPOILERS*
Loving the way it's progressing and am very curious to see how Ken route will continue going forward...
Also, damn the fucking rabbit scares the shit out of me :c
Liked the way u put the dialogues... I mean, the way the VN is discussing topics such as sexual orientation, love, drugs etc.
I'm very curious to see how that will develop.
And, before I forget, DAMN, that Portuguese part on Ken's route was SOOOO cringy bahaha there are at least some centuries that no one talks like that in my country :P but it was interesting, nonetheless.
Besides that, the music is awesome! SFX is well selected and well used, the arts are fabulous in all aspects, UI, BG, sprites, CG...
They're very pretty and cute, and some of them damn hot bahaha
Liked the way u put a new UI for the text while showing the terror parts.
I think the only thing missing on that menu is that I can't delete a save if I don't make another save to overwriter it :c
Oh, loved the concept of timeline and those audios/texts from some sort of diary or whatever, giving more pieces about the characters and the world they live, very creative that :D
And the atmosphere is very interesting there, there's even other music when u open that haha
I do confess I didn't understood some audio... actually only one think, which someone is just breathing heavily.
Curious to see what that "annotation" button will do exactly, and what will be its connection to the story haha.
Besides that, the rapid effects were a bit too much on Ken route, like, the hell dude, the text keeps moving up and down so fast that's almost impossible to read... and even with the rapid effects off, it's still moving a bit too fast - I mean, people with visual difficulty would still have trouble to read it, even with rapid effects off.
That extra story was kind of interesting :D don't know exactly where it fits on the main story but was enjoyable anyway.
Do u plan on adding a gallery later on? Maybe even a sound room or a way to see all the characters' sprites :D
Oh, and found some typos on Mark's route:
assoCiated
Not sure if that "youz" was intentional, 'cuz it's kinda weird.
Oh yeah, something I'm kinda curious about now: how many days do u plan on doing for each route?
And are there any plans on when releasing the Fox route? Like, if it will be on the next update or 3 updates forward...
Oke the taste of culture of this game is Sweet and relaxing for some like to stay at home with some hot chocolate and colors in the room
Grey is ok as aspects and his knowledge and vocabulary
For now i did ken's route day 1
And is the great combination between some confused ken with great personality and sweet grey who knows how to talk and understand him...and the last part when with the fox was...it keeps me in suspense and.. emotions?
More reviews later
For now is a... 5 stars game..."an early review from myself"
I went through this today once and what a ride. Played through everything there was. I was absolutely hooked, had to see everything there was up to this point.
Love the horror, love the characters, love the idea. Just one of those few games that really got under my skin with the horror. I can see some Silent Hill inspiration with Mark. I can see a few things you're doing with Ken also with Chug. Would love to see more horror put in those, like you did with Mark stuff.
I wish I had a few cash monies I could throw at you, but unfortunately can't. But I did throw in a 5-star rating, and I really want to see where you are going to go with this. Can't wait to be into these characters, and they are going to suffer probably some unfortunate stuff. Can't wait to be sad about those, also creeped out.
Honestly, what a fantastic experience. Frickin' great writing, this is going to stay with me for a while.
Just went through the current Ken route and everything was fantastic. The music, the starry night sky in the backgrounds, the character designs, the story from start to finish was engaging and a rollercoaster of emotions.
Ken himself is just perfect. Both visually and as a character. He's not your generic, dangerous-looking, perfect boy with no flaws. He's damaged, his dark past shaping him into a person he has to be now instead of being the person he wants to be. The conflict between the two is a great way to develop a character. It's also a great way to get the reader interested in the character and crave for more.
That's where I'm at now myself. I can't wait to see so much more of Ken and where the "road" will take him next.
Oh and one last thing, Nikko's art style is a blessing for the eyeballs.
AAAaaa!!!! literally stunning, I don't even have any words, I literally don't even usually leave comments or rate but literally a masterpiece, I can't wait to see what this story has in store.
Finally managed to catch up to this update! Loving it so far. Was already expecting Ken to be difficult, but now I'm really curious to know how he got like that. Colt and Jessie are very precious and I'd love an invitation to the Rub Club. Hope Grey can get in on a bit of fun.
Also, first time getting to check out the new features, like the timeline and diary entries. Amazing addition! Guess a replay of the other routes is in other to see what else I can unlock.
huh, wasn't expecting my native language to show up. how did you go about writing that section? cause i've noticed in "history" it is written in english and the phrasal structure also seems like someone speaking english with portuguese words rather than just portuguese.
I really can't wait for the next update, just go through all routes today, a nice base for another addictive story. I just hope that the Faces don't change much at all in the future, it somehow makes me happy to see them smile.
Kinda questioning the logic of Grey and the two side characters in Ken route. *spoiler warnings below*

Someone throws scalding hot coffee on you, askes for plantonic cuddles then kicks you away attacking you calling them a rapist, witness them not only shatter another person's wrist, bust their teeth and finally carve the 1st initial of their own name into into their victim's chest. At no point Grey and other 2 think, hey this guy is fucking psychopath we should ditch him and run before the cops come. Not once lol.
This will be the love interest for this route, Grey is expected to fall in love with a guy that is nuts and treats them like pure shit. If another character did all of this I wouldnt question it but a future boyfriend (?) being like this is concerning, great twists beyond tho. Yet there are options to talk to another 2 characters hmm. Anyways I'll assume Ken get better, and have reasons revealed why they're like this but clearly its gonna be a toxic as hell start to their relationship and oddly enough I am on board. Ken's story is too riveting (like literally all other routes so far) wanting so badly to see more o-o
also probably gonna get downvoted into obilvion, oh well *shrugs*
Continuing on what was said in the spoiler section and thus spoilers below.

While I definitely agree with the oddness of them not just leaving (especially Jessie and Colt who tried to stop Ken from attacking Grey earlier that day) I do not think Ken or any of the "love interests" are going to actually be conventual love interests Grey will get into a regular enough relationship. I say this as red flags (although smaller ones) are also in Mark's route and both Ken's and Mark's actions are directly pointed out by Grey and/or other characters as being problematic things he should be avoiding. This also wouldn't be the first VN that ends with the "love interests" not actually being love interests but maybe I'm just hoping this isn't another piece of fiction that ignores this kinda stuff.
Grey is not exactly known for being the most stable of people either, as we see him often entering bad relationships (and that he thinks with his dick). He knows that it is bad, but does it anyways. Not to mention, Ken's route seems to be different from Mark or Gabe in the type of horror that it is portraying. I can only see Ken's route ending in tragedy, as I do not see anywhere that he will be able to escape the his past actions, but perhaps he can redeem himself before he meets his end.
I realized Ken name isnt in the timeline thing where it says when their born + Mark on the timeline is a bit suspicious. This game kinda scary fr repeat/echo vibes the type you shouldnt play at night i am anyways. kudos to you Nikko.
OMG WE GOT THE CAT ROUTE? YES! though im mostly waiting for the brown fox/canine/feline whatever he is i want him. lets see if Ken can beat my feelings for Gabe.
Holy shit....thats like a whole 180.. Well i guess now it makes sense to why Ken is holding a gun in the menu screen. But damn I can't figure Ken out, his personality is just so confusing. One minute he's intimidating then he looks so vulnerable and sad, thennn suddenly hes a fucking beast. His mood swings is something else wow. See I can't even compare him to Gabe..i don't even know what to say...but i like him alot. That 'Get the fuck back there, i need you with me' made me feel things...tingly inside LOL. its the bottom in me activatinggg...#InKenCrazyAssWeTrust. What he did at the end was fucked up though I can't say he didn't have it coming, messed with someone he knew nothing about as bad as i felt that fox could've made it never happen.
Great game so far! I think there is a bug in android version of the game. Title text (names) and dialog are very close together almost covering each other. It is difficult to read sometimes. I have also added picture bellow to avoid confusion.
I picked up an earlier(?) version of this game from a link posted in a dischord room I was in, and honestly I really enjoyed the story as far as it went. Its moody, the MC was believable, full of alot of angst and doubts (completely understandable given the incredible circumstances they find themself in). All in all Id say Id love to read this again when its finally finished. My one and only play through left off on something of a cliff hanger, and while that always leaves you wanting more, I also know it will be quiet some time before more is available. lol and thats killer in its own way. Highly recommended to anyone on the fence.
I'm amazed at how good this VN is, from the visuals to the writing, and even the impressive coding! I truly think this is the best work out there, and is deserving of all the praise
Have to admit that would love to see more of Gabriel route not only because of his kindness, but also because I like some advancements of that time. Not that I lived them personally, as belong to the 3rd/4th generation consoles.

"Youz" is intentional. It's New York.
they talk like that there?
A lot of older New Yorkers do. Keep in mind, Mark is in the 60s, so that's around the time period I'd expect for them to speak like that.
OMG ..

lol exactly
Sooo will there be a android version?? I’ve been hearing great things about this vn and I really want to give it a try
there is an android version!
AAAaaa!!!! literally stunning, I don't even have any words, I literally don't even usually leave comments or rate but literally a masterpiece, I can't wait to see what this story has in store.
and the art style????😳😳
ab-slootly gorgeous luv
when your most love artist makes a VN <3~~~
Keep up the epic work :D always love your style and seeing it in a VN is huff

Also curious about that. It felt a bit archaic and maybe a bit closer to how it's spoken in Portugal
I really can't wait for the next update, just go through all routes today, a nice base for another addictive story.
I just hope that the Faces don't change much at all in the future, it somehow makes me happy to see them smile.
Gabriel is the most precious thing I have ever laid my eyes on
And the fennec fox that doesn't have a route yet looks pretty kewl

been wondering that for a long while but I think you're probably right they arent a love interest mostly 🤔

Ken is a certified whack job. I would love to know what birthday clown touched him. At least there is shreksy otter tho
MARK MAKES MY HEART GO DOKI DOKI❤👹
this happened on Ken's route after grey was falling (when the route is starting) . what do i do?
this is the android version.
Ken's crazy and made me crazy about him >.> Can't wait for more updates !!! Keep up the good work ^-^
Damnit! >///<" another tsundere to add to the simp list! Why is Ken so hot!? Q_Q
[Desire for Ken intensifies "O.O]
Despite him being a bit unstable, I really like Ken, I just want to hug him
(ngl I was waiting for his route, I might have a thing for black panthers (not THOSE guys), looking at you Devon, Eldon and Elliot)
I realized Ken name isnt in the timeline thing where it says when their born + Mark on the timeline is a bit suspicious. This game kinda scary fr repeat/echo vibes the type you shouldnt play at night i am anyways. kudos to you Nikko.
K now Ken is my fav batshit crazy psychotic husband, LOVED the update, so much quality
how do i get the fragment 11?
Kept saying app not installed I tried everything and it won't download
i reuploaded the file, try it now?
it worked
I can't install the android version even if I delete the old game file.
Same here... Posted some of what I ran into in the dev log off this build
reuploaded the file, try it now pls
It works perfectly now! Ty very much for the quick fix! <3
thank you.
OMG WE GOT THE CAT ROUTE? YES! though im mostly waiting for the brown fox/canine/feline whatever he is i want him. lets see if Ken can beat my feelings for Gabe.

Is there a some sort of walkthrough? I'm at Mr. Weekend and don't know if things change based on how much I give to him
$5 and above, you get purple cocaine.
$5 and below, you do not get purple cocaine.
(SPOILER BELOW)
It will probably make sense later as it is stated that Mark asked Simone for something harder than the cannabis that she gave him.
Great game so far! I think there is a bug in android version of the game. Title text (names) and dialog are very close together almost covering each other. It is difficult to read sometimes. I have also added picture bellow to avoid confusion.
I haven't felt as emotional from a VN since Echo and Adastra, This VN is up there in my favorites. Great Work!
Quisiera saber si ¿hay traducion a otro idioma? Ejemplo: ¿español? 😔😔
I picked up an earlier(?) version of this game from a link posted in a dischord room I was in, and honestly I really enjoyed the story as far as it went.

Dunno if it's been said yet, in full screen the cursor is invisible and you can't see where to point. Otherwise it's looking amazing so far~
Excellent work — particularly in the frankly outstanding presentation. I'm still blown away by the sheer style oozing from every asset in the game.
For anyone curious about the game, you can check some bits of a Let's Play to guide your decision. It's good stuff.
Part 1:
Part 2:Part 3:
Ehe can't wait for the other two route to be out~ xD
LOVELY VN! OMFG!
omg im dying for more chug story
Gotta say, i'm loving the games Virgil is playing. I never knew someone could be so seductive and terrifying at the same time.
The sound , the music , the programming, the effects , this VN is perfection!! 10/10
I'm amazed at how good this VN is, from the visuals to the writing, and even the impressive coding! I truly think this is the best work out there, and is deserving of all the praise
Is there potentially going to be more routes?
Have to admit that would love to see more of Gabriel route not only because of his kindness, but also because I like some advancements of that time. Not that I lived them personally, as belong to the 3rd/4th generation consoles.
