Everything is on highest quality now like seriously the new content remodeling characters rich story plot twist that is even relatable somehow mix with good choices of music perfect fit for each scene Good writings the HD background reference to some like chainsaw man the humors/memes sex scene is very smooth compared to before as well because of this it's one of my top 10 best VN Worth to wait recommended to play you wouldn't regret it.
Also i just wanna say big respect to you KS-chan for your hardwork and being a solo developer for making an amazing worthwhile VN very admirable and impressive enough to show some support :) can't wait for the next update but take your time no need to rush the longer it takes the better after all.
Hey bro, I can't download it. Every time it reaches 100%, the download fails, and it's happened several times, specifically when downloading this game.Got any ideas on how to fix this mess?I want to play so badd😭
How many hours of content does it have for now? Or does it have atleast a complete Chapter or Episode. I really wanna try it but I hate incomplete endings.
I saw your Twitter page and see that NiiChan also following you, now im more sure that my bully and my lover is one of the avn game that inspired you :)
Just finished this lovely game of yours without skipping.
Here are my thoughts, suggestions, and some constructive criticisms.
1. Character and World building
I really, really enjoy the delicate and nuanced character development and the world-building process. The progression of relationships between each of them in the Japanese underworld setting is slow but natural. Your writing skills are competitive with those in Eternum and/or My Bully Is My Lover: both are popular AVNs. In addition, I found it interesting that you told us not to take everything in this game seriously at the gecko, but the stories and conversations regarding friends and families are so relatable. So far, Ayase and Mikaru are my favorite characters, and the male protangonist is awesome too. However, I am certain that as future updates become available, other girls will have their shining moments!
I also enjoyed your humor and "bloopers" during the credit scenes.It is the very first time I've seen such unique comedic narration in AVNs.
Lastly, there are some hidden hints you planted that may envision the overall direction of the story, and I like that!
2. Models and CGs
Using HS2 model and creative CGs with moans are excellent choices, although the story-writing is so neat to which I forgot there are even H-scenes in this game haha. A minor suggestion would be ... try to fix some minor glitching issues. For instance, in the chronological penultimate H-scene (I don't want to say the name to avoid spoilers), the girl's hair seems to "pierce through" part of her body. I think that's likely a model issue, but it's jut a minor defect and I'm not expert.
3. Music choice I like the selection of American dream pop, rap, other forms of alternative rock, and Japanese city pop as the major background music genres for this game.
(Maybe I'm nitpicking for the following criticism... I apologize in advance)
However, one criticism I would give aims at the repetition of the same OSTs throughout the game. Take a look at Eternum, and My Bully Is My Lover, the number of soundtracks for either game exceeds 200; each song corresponds to a unique section of the stories in each game. Most players I know enjoy the diversity of OSTs employed in both games, and listening to them is basically a revisit to the fantastic stories. If you are familiar with both games, you will know what I mean exactly.
(I hate to be the guy who compares your game to another but... I don't know if there's a better way to do it)
In comparison, your game employs same soundtracks in certain situations, which make those part of the story a bit less unique. For instance, you used the first 30 seconds of "Extreme by My Merry Machine" in many mystical/stressful situations, or "Comedy Cinematic Inspiring" by Romansenykmusic in situations where something interesting and gleeful happens. In Eternum, during comedic scenes, a variety of music were used, such as E-swings (Jules Gaia/Gavin Luke's music, including Glitz At the Ritz, Extravaganza, etc...), Indies (Staionary Sign's No Need to Confuse Me), Mexican/Latin (Cacion del Mariachi by Antonio Banderas ft. Los Lobos), Funk (Astral Dance by Jimit), and others. Each music describes each comedic scenes in their own unique ways.
Conclusively, your taste of music (those you used in the game as OSTs) is awesome, but the collection of OSTs could be a little bit more diverse to make each subsection of your story more unique and memorable. But suggestions are suggestions. After all, this is your dear game and you should be the one who decides if my suggetions are worth the shot. Maybe other types of non-Japanese genre music might not fit the story...!
4. 中文是官方语言之一是我没想到的。Totally not anticipating that. Many of my Chinese friends love your game!
On final note, I'm looking forward to your future updates of this game! It has so much potential and I believe you will make it outstanding!
I am also setting a Spotify playlist for this game which should be available soon.
In addition, as a former Genshin Impact player, I feel that some bgms in the game are familiar. After identifying them, I found that they are indeed the songs in Genshin Impact. I can see that you really like these songs, and I also like them!
I really like the art style of this game, and the female characters inside are all very beautiful and moving. I think the art style of this game can even rival Pale Carnations and Eternal Worlds (these are the other two games I really like). You did a great job!
Additionally, I am curious whether the characters who have had sexual relationships with the male lead will eventually enter the male lead's harem. If not, I would feel sad because these female characters are so charming.
So, we will have a harem ending and option to choose 1 girl if we want, that's very nice having multiple ending and giving the player choices like that always make the game better.
This game has so much potential to become a very, very good VN. I played 1.5.0 and was already hooked. Came back today and saw there was an update and omg kawaiiSukebe you delivered. I didn't really care abt the missing saves cause i had a fun time playing the game. The animations and the overall graphics were very nice but now they are top tier. This VN is already in my top 5 VNs that I've played. Keep up the great work kawaiiSukebe!
Then just delete the old one(0.1.5) and keep only 0.2. no need to "update the game", whatever you meant by that. Or you might wanna trying deleting the save data in user/AppData/roaming/renpy folders and see if that helps. Remember, the old saves from 0.1.5 are not compatible.
yeah, gotta say. this is really good so far. quality work man. keep it up, loving every second of it.
this is immediately going into the check for updates constantly list. seriously, I can tell you put a lot of effort into this and it pays off greatly. up there with ripples/house in the rift and caribdis VN's. fantastic work.
a shame its so hard to find. i'm not sure how itch's system works but it might be worth to update the game with tiny "updates" just to get it onto the top of the new and popular page to get some more eyes on it. might seem a bit disingenuous but i really think if more people could see it you would get a ton more support.
or don't. i dunno how this works, just hoping for the best for you and this project.
Obligatory backfire scene? KS you're a fucking genius😂🤣 and yes, the soundtrack is golden. What is the name of the Alley song I love electronic music? I've been playing for all of 20 minutes and im already in love.
Seems like a genuinely good game so far, with a few cool references and an actual storyline that looks like it can be interesting. Just a few words of warning though be careful with the memes you decide to integrate, because they'll be part of the story if the meme is deader than my grandfather it could negatively affect viewer retention, won't happen with just one or two here and there so don't worry too much but I think it's important to keep it in mind as I want to see this game grow.

I have alternative links in my Patreon page. You can go there and see which one works for you
Finally, it worked. Thank you!
How many hours of content does it have for now? Or does it have atleast a complete Chapter or Episode. I really wanna try it but I hate incomplete endings.
I'm curious too.
5 to 7 hrs depending on your read speed.

first time playing and i see dora the buff explorer int he background. Good game
In addition, as a former Genshin Impact player, I feel that some bgms in the game are familiar. After identifying them, I found that they are indeed the songs in Genshin Impact. I can see that you really like these songs, and I also like them!
I really like the art style of this game, and the female characters inside are all very beautiful and moving. I think the art style of this game can even rival Pale Carnations and Eternal Worlds (these are the other two games I really like). You did a great job!
Additionally, I am curious whether the characters who have had sexual relationships with the male lead will eventually enter the male lead's harem. If not, I would feel sad because these female characters are so charming.
I finish the game 0.2 i found out that you remake the game like changes their faces but great story and love it!
Wating for another update hehe
How to unlock the last scene(The one with the image of Yaezaki Ayase)😭, I've already replayed the game like 4 times and I still don't know.
Please help.
I cannot spoil here. However, if you want, you can join my Discord server, where you will find the answers there.
I am curious will this game have harem ending or you have to choose one girl
Harem will be a thing ofc. However, I might make individual endings for more prominent girls as well. If I have time eventually.
So, we will have a harem ending and option to choose 1 girl if we want, that's very nice having multiple ending and giving the player choices like that always make the game better.
Thanks very much for replying!
Can there be a harem ending without Ayase?
I started screaming when i heard the raiden shogun theme (cuz im a raiden main myself) Omfg KS you are a LEGEND
Character modeling is really amazing, girls are all very good-looking, supporting the author and supporting the game!
Thanks playing the game, I'm glad you liked it~
This game has so much potential to become a very, very good VN. I played 1.5.0 and was already hooked. Came back today and saw there was an update and omg kawaiiSukebe you delivered. I didn't really care abt the missing saves cause i had a fun time playing the game. The animations and the overall graphics were very nice but now they are top tier. This VN is already in my top 5 VNs that I've played. Keep up the great work kawaiiSukebe!
Thanks for plying the game! I'm glad you enjoyed it~
Man this game is pretty good. Keep up the good work, and I'm glad this is harem hahaha it's hard to pick only one girl
i didnt get it it saying 0.2.0 and then want i go to play it. it stops at the end of 1.5.0
Did you download the game yesterday? or today?
i download it when it was in 1.5.0 and when i update the game it saying 0.2.0
Are you playing on android?
no pc
Then just delete the old one(0.1.5) and keep only 0.2. no need to "update the game", whatever you meant by that. Or you might wanna trying deleting the save data in user/AppData/roaming/renpy folders and see if that helps. Remember, the old saves from 0.1.5 are not compatible.
Love this game. But seriously, why don't you have a Subscribestar link. They are way more tolerant and if that isn't good enough, the why not Steam
Glad u came back to update!It's still as high quality as ever, and I noticed many citypop in！Miharu's text is veryyy good, but I still prefer Ayase！hh
The theme,song, characters,maps and characters is very good and beautiful at the same time
I would like to ask, there is no plans to add any ntr in the future right? I hope not. Btw this is really a good game so keep up the good work
There will not be NTR content in the game~
Is there ever going to be a replay gallery or something implemented, just asking.
Replay Gallery is already in the 0.2 update now~
One of the best avn
Thanks or playing~

Ara Ara~ Welcome to New Horizon~
i just wanted to comment on the Nier Automata reference shot
yeah, gotta say. this is really good so far. quality work man. keep it up, loving every second of it.
this is immediately going into the check for updates constantly list. seriously, I can tell you put a lot of effort into this and it pays off greatly. up there with ripples/house in the rift and caribdis VN's. fantastic work.

new update coming soon :)

Obligatory backfire scene? KS you're a fucking genius😂🤣 and yes, the soundtrack is golden. What is the name of the Alley song I love electronic music? I've been playing for all of 20 minutes and im already in love.
画面方面在我眼中已经能和永恒世界不相上下，在hs建模系列的新游戏中，也只有蜉蝣可以与之相提并论了。0.15的剧情能够让我会心一笑，希望剧情世界观能够展开得更快一些，除了更新确实慢，没有缺点了
Waiting for the new update
This game is the best!
new update coming soon :)
just entered testing
Texans vs Colts. That would have been one hell of a game 6 years ago.
Hi KS I'm wondering if it's still far away from the next release? I can't wait to experience the next version
new update coming soon :)
just entered testing
looks interesting. Haven't played it yet tho. Gonna wait until the game has been developed to a certain point.
Any new update information? nothing new on Patreon for 2 months.
new update coming soon :)
just entered testing
Glad to hear it, thanks for the update.
你还好吗，我的朋友？请不要太累了，我发现你都没有时间回复评论了，保重身体最重要👀
Seems like a genuinely good game so far, with a few cool references and an actual storyline that looks like it can be interesting.
Just a few words of warning though be careful with the memes you decide to integrate, because they'll be part of the story if the meme is deader than my grandfather it could negatively affect viewer retention, won't happen with just one or two here and there so don't worry too much but I think it's important to keep it in mind as I want to see this game grow.
it is the really masterpiece with good storyline and attractive characters. keep it up, i'm looking forward to the next update)
Love this - keep up the good work!
