Just played and this demo looks really good.  Since I'm yandere trash I am really interested in Garret but Marcelo is also such a sweetheart! Can't deny the excitement I have to meeting Teagan over their personality traits.  I'm guessing they're the Ex? I may love them or love to hate them, time will tell.

Warning! Long comment with SPOILERS!

I say this from the bottom of my heart I LOVE THIS I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!! You did so well, you did amazing and you're working really hard and deserve to be told just how much of a good job you did.

First off, the demo was just so pretty. The character designs, the UI(?) color options, and the memory?? Pure genius and definitely not easy. Both in a game developer and writer standpoint. I would love to see more of the backstories. I'm more then positive that the disease is connected to Thaumo and our starfish- 'friend'...

Secondly, the world building is just incredible. I suck at marine biology but everything you wrote on it was easy to understand so props on that. The disease paired up with the double implication of MC being kept in the dark is also a very nice touch in writing. (The secrecy of the experiments and the yanderes' competitive gaslighting). Also what exactly is the limit on what animals people are connected to? Does it include all marine animals or does it stop at the cephalopod area? I just wanna imagine a animal for me but I have like 0 clue as to where to start lol

Third, the characters! Tremo is adorable and I'm loving her friendship and stoicness. Especially the line with the email where she's just like 'You leaving? As if. It's not legal for you to quit.'

Now Nalis was a surprise. I initially thought he was just going to be a good friend/main shield/biggest target for Thaumo but then I remembered the description of it being 2 yanderes so I kept a watchful eye. My first ending was his as I made the sole mistake of choosing 'question Thaumo' (I thought the convincing option was us trying to convince Thaumo not to kill us which is what those options typically mean) so I was super surprised when he showed up in the apartment.

I really did think he was Thaumo until he made that blushing expression which was a vast difference to Thaumo's blushing expression. The dialogue, tone, choices provided by Nalis (let's keep it simple lol) all did not seem like Thaumo at all. One of the biggest things was Thaumo's hate for our attention not being on Thaumo himself. Especially when he said 'maybe if you listened to Nalis...' There ain't no way Thaumo could say that without it the disgust being present in some form.

Overall Nalis is interestingly pathetic in his own way which I'm super excited to see and handle as his smirking blushing face makes me wanna see just how far I can push him and watch how he changes and deteriorates into his obsession.

FINALLY I can get to my ABOSOLUTE FAVORITE - THAUMOOOOO Let me just start by saying that you have fed my dying thirst for pathetic yandere men. I got his bad ending first and I was just replaying it with my mind on loop. So many possibilities with his mimcry, so many questions I can ask about that...

I adore his blue blush and his whole demeanor while on the cafe date was just adorable. I did catch that quick utensil thing and it just made me wonder what else he licked in our apartment. His sopping wet kitten personality meowing so pitifully for attention would have me hook line and sinker 100%. And half of it is because there is no way in hell I could resist giving all my physical affection to the first person who would actually want it.

Not counting his endearing pathetic traits, I'm quite fond of how direct he is once found out. I always love when the MC is in this tug of war/leash relationship once a yandere is found out. And I especially love how this is when the MC finally has something only they know about as everything else is basically blocked from them.

After I unlocked the section for his good endings I made sure to save the 'test' option for last as I was praying it would be what I hoped it would be. (I'm so glad I was right) And when I got to it, it's like my mind legit exploded. All I could imagine was making that situation 10x worse by getting real close to his face, letting my breath fan his lips while whispering his name or any pet name to purposefully push him into that overstimulated desperate frenzy. IT WOULD BE SO GOOD.

WARNING! My comment has SPOILERS!

Maybe this is controversal but POOR LOUHI! Like yeah he was too selfish and self serving to live but I still wish he could have had a happier life even if it was in isolation. Considering the fact that his parents didn't die even when his powers manifested, he could have lived in isolation and still received love from at least his family. 

He's almost 300 years old and has lived to grow too attached, get insulted, lose said person and then repeat the cycle for over 2 centuries.  He's not considering the maggots and parasites to be his friends cause he loves his diseases. It's because they're the only things that actually STAY with him. 

I really enjoy him as a yandere. His manipulative, victim card playing ass still tugged on my heart strings like no other.  He could have been so much worse, a real plague but he does (somewhat) try to keep his effect to a minimum. 

I can't help but imagine a AU where he stays rotting in isolation after his powers manifest out of guilt and terror of what he could possibly do to patients he so desperatly wanted to help. And just as he's mind is crumbling, his will power breaking, a random upir stumbles upon him. A new MC. (From what I understand upirs can't get infected)

Or a alternate ending to this game. Where after Louhi kills Abram and the body is dragged into the room, MC grabs the bomb and hides it on their body. They sit Louhi down and ask him if he really will continue caring for patients the same way he did for them. Of course he'll say yes and MC just follows up with. "How is that fair to me? Aren't I your fiancee? How is it fair that I have to succumb to your illness and move on while knowing you're going to continue on without me? You might even forget me one day."

I'm sure he would try to reassure MC or even make excuses but all MC does is kiss him before saying "I don't believe you but I love you. So just as I accept you and the disease you've passed to me. Please accept the gift I have for you." Bomb revealed right before it explodes. Just like in the game Louhil survives but he's so heartbroken and shocked along with the aftereffects of the bomb that he's killed by Abram's friends.

This is stupidly long but I hope this shows how much I love Louhil! I'm a yandere sucker and one that thrives off taking care of me while I laze around? Sign me up! (I can only wish that I'm immune or he migrates the symptoms for as long as possible lol)

Came back over to say that I LOVE THIS GAME! I adore Riker, I'm so excited for LB, all the different endings and choices make me happy beyond belief. I just can't wait for the next update (no rush ofc, life can suck) and I'm so excited to replay it rn!!

Rai is super cute so far and I enjoy the friend dynamics. I chose the reading option but I do think that cooking/baking, gaming and music would be good ambiguous choices so that players can interpret them as they wish!

I glad I'm not the only one who liked the customer, he was pretty cute.

AH He looks so good! I love him all the same but I'm excited to see the changes too! Can't wait to play

Edit: I just finished a run and I noticed that during the scene when Liev asks us to be his friend the dialogue starts lagging a lot. The second the setting changes to the restaurant and the sparkles are gone the lagging stops.

I really like how the menu changes once you finish the demo. I loved seeing how his eyes and expression changed as he gets more yandere too! The way Mc truly wants to help him is so cute and I'm determined to get that ending. I don't know if it was intended or not but after the first glimpse into the yandere I noticed that you can't rollback. It was pretty cool since it was like being put into the Mc's shoes wondering 'Did that actually happen?'. But then I saw you can see it in the history so I'm not sure if its a bug or not. Either way I loved this game and Liev. I am looking forward to the full release or next chapter (no rush ofc!)

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I know the whole yandere stuff but the first Ichigo bad end was a wake up punch in the gut. Yuzuki wasn't as attractive to me but I wish he got some sort of happy ending. Ichigo in all endings is best boy. Can I just say how much I loved the art? Cause I do. I wish I could find some fan art with Ichigo blushing hard enough to be confused for a strawberry. His and Mc's dynamic was so much fun and so natural. Mc's big twist was really unexpected but exactly what I always hoped from a game. I am being purposely vague here but I do wish to say more about the spoilers that I really enjoyed. Ichigo and Mc are the power couple and that's a fact.
