I've been on a little indie yandere VN kick recently, but this one in particular convinced me that I had to make an account to leave a comment about how much I loved it. The summary is not lying! This game is darker than most of the other yandere VNs I've played, which is perfect for me, because I'm very into that.
First of all, the art is really nice. The character sprites all look attractive, and they all have multiple expressions which enhance the story and are just fun to look at overall. My favorites have to be Sebastian's childishly happy and smug expressions, and Brandon's evil smirk. Not so coincidentally, Sebastian and Brandon happen to be my favorite characters.
I find the amount of content and playtime available in the demo extremely impressive. The routes were longer than I'm used to for most indie otome VNs I've played, but I really enjoyed that fact! The choices lead to drastically different situations and consequences, which makes me feel like they have impact and provide fresh, new content. After that, there are the other characters, plus plenty of endings, PLUS side-stories - so that totals even MORE content (not even including the different worlds that are planned). I really want to stress the amount of time, work and love that I can tell has been put into this game, just from seeing the sheer size and breadth of it. I spent a good day playing (but not finishing!) the demo, and it was a day well spent. Just because it's large doesn't mean it shirks on quality, though! I always felt entertained and was never bored by the routes and choices I experienced. The writing, music and sfx all worked together fantastically. I will definitely be replaying to unlock more scenes, and I'll be checking back for updates too!
If my friends were into the same things I am, I would definitely recommend this game to them! I'd love for more people to find it. In fact, I find it borderline CRIMINAL that this VN hasn't received the amount attention I think it deserves!
out of pure curiosity, when do you think the base game will be done? (sorry if this is a stupid question). thanks for your time :) i love the game btw !
Hoping around Feb 2023 for ‘Obsession’ to be complete, but not set in stone. When the steam store page is available, I’ll announce it in a devlog.
Due to content restrictions, Brandon’s route will not be available in the base game on any store, but will be a free external patch after release. Until then, the remainder of Brandon’s route will be exclusive to Patreon.
Yes, Brandon is a blood-related brother in the 1st and current world ‘Obsession’.
There are content warnings on the Warning Tab for each route, so please review them all! If incest is a no-thanks for you, do not play Brandon’s route.
Other routes have references to Brandon’s past abuse of his sister, and there may be a rare scene where he flirts with her as well. These are brief scenes with limited detail that exist for story advancement.
The next world “Remembrance” will be free of incest, which starts development in 2023.
Incest is not really my thing, but tbh Brandon is so well written that he is actually my favorite character! I am really looking forward to supporting you guys on Patreon and playing his route. When do you think the updated sprite art will be out for him?
The sprite will probably be completed within the next two weeks, and be a part of the next September official release.
There’s a small work-in-progress preview on Discord now in the public channel. Once it’s complete, the full sprite preview will be posted on the Patreon for Early Alliance+ members.
Depending on when the artist finishes it, it may also be a part of the next early-access/beta build on Patreon too.
I expect Quinn’s sprite (and maybe Monika’s too) to be a part of the October build.
Yay! I just want to say that I really appreciate this game. There are far too few male yanderes, and your writing really helps you grow attached to the characters. I hope you keep making good progress! Take care of yourself <3
EDIT: yep, as i thought, this game is worth it! It is well-written & i am looking forward to more. And the soundtrack is really good too, i hope there will be the option to buy the soundtrack one day:´)
well it´s fine, i was really looking forward to it. joining patreon for more content was worth my money but i am disappointed at the turn of events lol. I am pretty disappointed that sebastian just...drops the player because of a certain thing. I was just as flabberghasted as alexander tbh wow lol what an awful way to get to know the characters lmao! I got unlucky and aced all dead ends in his route. Anyway, i am very disappointed in the character but the writing is good and the characters make sense so even though i am not really satisfied with the content, i do recommend you to give it a try
a little bit spoilers?
wow sebastian, you´re really hung-up on that stupid "pure girl" concept???? I thought u were better than this XD....his love can´t be that strong, then XD wow XD!
I am so excited for this game!! I have never joined a Patreon before, but I may have to for this one; it has all the elements I want, and I don't want the devs to give up on such a promising game :')
