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.
