Great game,like,really really great,Not gonna lie,the plot was amazing,so subtle all the game,with little details here and there,but... Yeah,the ending,Not wanting to spoil is,but could you guys (the game devs) make a alternative ending? Like,Its quite dissapointing how it ends,and some things werent explained
The game is although pretty great! But like most player, the ending got me, i'm not specially disappointed by the plot twist i actually liked it a lot.
( I'm gonna go into spoilers now so i'd recommend to not read if you didn't played the game yet ) it's more the fact that we lost to Twyla that disappointed me.. Like, this could have been avoided so easily, at first i thought there was gonna be an alternate ending, since Mary's frog told us about Twyla going in our room, but his intervention was actually completely useless since Twyla explained how she learned about the fact that we eat hearts.. other thing, after finishing the night before, I kinda expected that we'd be able to replay all chapter but with a version where we break their heart since the main menu changed but that wasn't the case at all.. which kinda disappointed me. But overall the game was great, i''d give it around 6/10
The game was enjoyable 4/5 stars! I do wish there was a chance to actually romance the charactrs. The art is amazing and i'll be real the dad was attractive too. I'd totally pay for a DLC or something that turns it into a romance instead. Theodore was my personal favorite especially because of the anarchy symbol in his dorm. Awesome game and I would totally enjoy seeing more of these characters.
Is there a way to fix your name/presentation after you play it once? I seem to be stuck with the same name I picked my first playthrough and now that I'm trying to replay it, I don't really want it :(
Possible Spoiler ahead so don't read if you have not beat it.
Rating Change:
2/5
The game is complete but can we get a update where the ending is different? Honestly the ending is not good at all and so plainly obvious. Like i really love the game but like the ending was just such a boring and dumb let down. Again you see ending coming from a mile away and really it just bugs and annoys me because it's not a twist its just a boring cliche that turns me away. Like this game made me feel like hey you finally get to play as the bad girl and be the bug evil but then if you have common knowledge and can piece together that the Owl girl is onto you, then it just really turns you away. God That ending is just making me go crazy with how much i don't like it😑 Literally stopped the first time playing it to paint my nails. So can we get a possible bad end where we ignore her calling us over and actually go through with plan?🥺 Please?🥺 Pretty please?🥺 Let me be the bad girl instead of losing to a character that literally isn't even scary or even bad girl🥺😒 She Cleary isn't heartless because she clearly cares about her friends if she doesn't want any of our kind at the school. Anyway i apologize as i really do love your games and love your story telling in others, but this game just isn't good because there's only one ending and it such a let down for girls like me who just want to be the evil for once😅🤣 Also apologize if anything is spelled wrong or worded wrongly as English is not my language but i am taking the time and effort to learn😝✌️ Please don't hate me dev i am a fan just not fan of this game🤣🥺
i knocked this game out in like 4 hours. i came for the art, and stayed for the characters! idk if this game is canon or some sort of au, but I'm loving it!
Facts the ending was kind of bad for me like i seen it coming and the fact that its the only ending really turns me away from it because its not a interesting end its just ugh😒
So im on the night before the dance an im actually so shocked??? Why am i suddenly starting to want to break everyones hearts!? I was genuinely hoping i would get to ask one of them out to the dance instead of twyla in the end but now i have to eat them? WHAT IS GOING ON!!>!!!>!? I really liked all the chracters especially mary and theo but not i have to hurt them sad sad :(((
just finished the game omg/? I didnt expect that at all. overall that was a great game i speant about 4 hours on it and i would say it was totally worth it!
I am at Zapara's chapter rn and oh my god man! honestly Theo is such a sweetheart. Hes definitely one of my favorite characters. All of the designs are SO cool too! I feel bad for Mary too :< anyway, so far this is definitely one of my favorite games!
Was wondering if there’s more planned or if there’s only the secret end and main end? I was left with a lot more questions than answers. While there are things I can infer I still would like to know more about it. The twist was very fascinating and I think there’s a lot of potential for a sequel if you have time and energy for it. I want to see more of the MC/Dad interacting and who the moth boy is in the secret ending. Is it the dead student? Also why is Twyla heartless? I find the concept interesting! You can do a lot with it and I believe many people would be here for a sequel or even a small little game explaining some things? Just wondering. This all genuine and isn’t aggressive in any way. Love the Ace rep BTW! I got excited about it since I’m under the AroAce umbrella myself. Thank you anyways for a very cool game + Concepts with the heart eaters.
Characters and story is very good but the ending was kind of expected to happen. Wish there was a second ending were our plan works😈 Yes im a evil girl so what? Hopefully another ending or alternative ending can be added because it would make this game much more better lol still i give game 5/5😈 6/5 if they give alternative ending with us wining please. It's not too late 😈
eu fiquei em choque com o plot desse jogo. o final. meu deus.
meu deus.
incrível. 10/10. apenas fiquei triste que tenha apenas um final.
edit: já FAZ UMA HORA QUE EU FECHEI O JOGO E AINDA NÃO CONSIGO PARAR DE PENSAR NELE. QUE OBRA PRIMA, SÉRIO!!!!! não consigo parar de pensar em como esse jogo tem uma das melhores histórias que eu já vi aaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa
I respect your creativity a lot! It is natural born succubus simulator but without lust at all! I've seen nothing like that before. Generally thank you, it was great experience. P/S Nova has the best dad ever. Love him.
I just finished the game, and it was incredible! I didn't expect the ending at all, nice surprise! I've played most of your games, really cool ! (at first I was even surprised that they were free).
NO BECAUSE I DIDNT HAVE THE GUTS TO FINISH THE GAME AND EAT THEIR HEARTS CAUSE I GENUINELY GOT SO ATTACHED TO EVERYONE THAT IT LITERALLY BROKE ME WHEN I FOUND OUT. the twist made my heart sink to my stomach and as much as i adore the game i kinda wish there was some kind of second ending where we change our mind at the dance when they all start swarming vanilla and greeting her, even reaching to the point that Theo and the others rigged the votes for her to win, at that point i knew that i wouldnt be able to finish this. i really love the game though, just wished there were two endings!
(SPOILERS) Bro I made an account just to comment on how good this game is, I was actually so excited to eat peoples hearts that I had to sit up and actually cried when Twyla tried to kill me, I was so happy when dad came and got me from her and I was really hoping there was a second game where we returned and shocked everyone especially Twyla or if there was a second game where we at least went to another school, I know ill be crying about this for weeks because it was so amazing but this plot twist really broke my heart, this game ate my heart..
LEAVING MY REVIEWS ON EVERY ARCADEKITTEN GAME this game. i completed it but it took the whole day morning to evening, i love the gamestyle how you have to go off the characters personality and preferences and i love the way that you can pick different genders for nova, it adds to the already MASSIVE inclusive cast of characters. this game is WORTH playing
regarding the ending, which i won't spoil for anyone (i believe everyone should experience things for themselves before thinking something), it was underwhelming and lackluster. the "twist" truly is not as shocking as i feel others in the comments make it out to be. i think if you thinked about it for more than a minute you'd understand. the buildup also wasn't very satisfactory, it felt like it was stolen from us because nothing came from it.
while seeing lgbtq+ rep is awesome in video games (one of the reasons i appreciate itch.io so much), it's very on the nose for some characters. some characters their flags are incorporated as something small like pins or bracelets, or sometimes even the color scheme of their outfit... and others blatantly wear their flags. it was a little distracting seeing a flag bannered across a character like that. some character designs felt like that was their focal piece(?) because it stood out so much from their palette.
other than that, i did enjoy interacting with all the characters and guessing the right choices. the art is cute, and the characters all have their own unique personalities. it's a nice little surprise seeing characters from previous chapters pop up later on and seeing how they interact with other characters. from my understanding, the characters also show up in other games made by arcadekitten. so i'll definitely be checking it out.
overall, it was a very enjoyable experience but lost me on the final chapter, i wish there were more endings.
I WANT A GOOD ENDING LIKE WITH NO EATING THEIR HEARTS... I JUST WANT TO DATE ONE OF THEM ATLEAST 💔💔 I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH TO BREAK HEARTS, THIS REALLY NEEDS MORE ENDINGS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ANYTHING TO NOT BREAK OLLIE AND THEOS HEART 💔😭
Really needs more possible endings (Massive spoilers below)
I find the ending incredibly unsatisfying, and the "Twist" just made me want to stop playing completely. I love bad endings when there's a way around them, but it's just nothing here. Two proposed endings I have are:
Broken Hearts: Requires you to obtain Twyla's heart somehow so that when she attacks you you're able to fight back and can break hearts like you were planning to.
Sweet Hearts: If you do everything you can in "The Night Before" to try and mitigate their suffering, perhaps there can be some sort of good ending where vanilla can break no hearts without being stabbed by owl lady, maybe even going against their father.
Either of these endings would have been much more satisfying and interesting than what we got, which is just anticlimactic in an attempt to be "Surprising". Just because something's unexpected doesn't make it satisfying.
There was just... nothing interesting about it. I'm not a big fan of "And then this character was secretly evil the whole time", and it's not like the "evil" part of Vanilla even goes anywhere with Twyla deciding murder is epic
I REALLY LOVED THIS GAME! I finished this game for 2 days and I was really shocked by the plot twist at the end! it reallyyyy surprised me and I REALLY love it!!
Edit 2: After finishing the game, here's my review
SPOILERS
Wow. That was phenomenal. It was short and sweet, but that was incredible. That twist was such a shock, especially with Twyla, even though I had a gut feeling about her. But holy sh*t that was amazing.
Both this and Cemetery Mary sure fucked with my emotions and expectations
I got the bad ending on Cemetery Mary and got all sad over Crowven, then came here bc all I knew was that he was in the game, and I wanted to play something with the same characters that was a little more lighthearted?? Not what I expected but interesting!!!!
Omg listen i love you and i love the story, BUT THE ENDING WAS SO UNSATISFACTORYYYYY T---T I still enjoyed it lots! the plot twist was so big i was confused for a bit lol (longer than it should've taken) Overall amazing game!
the twist was cool but why build up to all of it and not have us do it? the whole game you had us getting all the hearts once we have the hearts you pulled the twist. but when we get to the party, we didn't even do it. there would've been many other ways to get different sorts of endings. not saying she had to let us go, but i would've appreciated something different, why give us different dialogues if the outcome is the same? it left me unsatisfied, but the game was good nontheless.
Goddammit, my heart snapped when that shit started, I can't fucking believe that! I'm honestly impressed, I often figure out the story of something long before it is revealed. You did good work! Even the little hits you dropped along the way in the story, that was super cool.
but also, what the fuck. JAXTER, MY BELOVED!!!!!! I'll never get to see an ending with him...
i kinda figured it was Twyla tho how she wanted us gone for a while and she went in the room and she some clue put it together as well :') hurt tho i really liked theo

it's more the fact that we lost to Twyla that disappointed me.. Like, this could have been avoided so easily, at first i thought there was gonna be an alternate ending, since Mary's frog told us about Twyla going in our room, but his intervention was actually completely useless since Twyla explained how she learned about the fact that we eat hearts.. other thing, after finishing the night before, I kinda expected that we'd be able to replay all chapter but with a version where we break their heart since the main menu changed but that wasn't the case at all.. which kinda disappointed me. But overall the game was great, i''d give it around 6/10
The game was enjoyable 4/5 stars! I do wish there was a chance to actually romance the charactrs. The art is amazing and i'll be real the dad was attractive too. I'd totally pay for a DLC or something that turns it into a romance instead. Theodore was my personal favorite especially because of the anarchy symbol in his dorm. Awesome game and I would totally enjoy seeing more of these characters.

Kid named Twyla (bitch)
