TRIPPYTRASH voices our one and only LI Veiss and all I can think of are those ASMR-tists with his voice type. Pleasing to the ears and makes the voicelines that much more impactful in the flirty side. I did wonder how if he was a true vocaloid how he would be used and what sort of songs would be created. Then I learned about the existence of Big Al and thought (!) that makes sense now. But definitely not the standard.

I do love it when game devs give little nods to each other. That was super cute when you opened the computer in the game and saw those video recommendations. Speaking of computer, I loved the menu screen when you go to save and load being a window.

Fucccccckkkk you. It was 5:21 (as seen in the bottom left) when this appeared and I finished the game at 6 am lol.

Funny, in Chromatic Agape Rosario calls you songbird. Veiss also calls you a songbird. Haha. ALSO ALSO, I'm not sure who started or popularized the whole separate the game into days thing. There's 14 Days with You... yeah. I don't know, it's just an interesting way to do things. It's like the same when Blooming Panic made the whole PC (discord) chat format popular. Just something I noticed.

The MC is short tempered, conflicted and very secretive about their past. I really want to learn in full detail how Veiss ended up liking the MC. Also his concept reminds me of Rogue AIs in Cyberpunk.

Mikuo?! *cough* Veiss definitely looks closer to Mikuo rather than Kaito (speaking of my man he is always right here with me on my laptop hehe) but also the art is so gender. I thought before reading the description he was one of those genderless characters.

The title makes a lot of sense when you realize it's about Shyloh all along. He is so the true route.

Honest to god my top 3 (in order) from this demo is: Rosario, Shyloh, and Kai

There's only two endings + 1 that isn't considered an ending in the current version.

"I WANT TO SIDE WITH THE HEROES" leads to both common endings. The last choice whether to trust the pixies or not is the one that diverges it.

Common Ending 1- God damn, being submissive all the way through made Rosario cum on me. Bless the double cocks. I mean who said that?!

Common Ending 2- T-T Torture and dismemberment, not fun. These first two endings are in the same path and I'd rather stick to 1.

"I WANT TO GO AHEAD ON MY OWN" and "I WANT TO CONFRONT THE VILLAIN" makes Shyloh appear. Leading to the not quite ending.

Now, thoughts. I quite like the set up of this world and I'm excited for further updates because I have no clue how the setup for the other romances (except Shyloh) will happen and I want to understand the world. While playing I couldn't help but be reminded of Ib.

Learning that Kai was the former leader and there being some sort of gaslighting and manipulation situation between him and Helios was interesting. I was surprised at Kai's involvement when Shyloh saves you, then again, he didn't participate when the boys were being total creeps and sadists. In fact, of the 6 he's the only one who didn't show such tendencies. Always tried to keep you as safe as he could.

Yulen being the first to be created made me go huh. He and Adonis had the least substance to me. Didn't care for them that much. Also despite liking Yulen in first impressions, the fact that he messed us up like that was a no go. Yes, Rosario did it while he was disguised as Shyloh but at the time I didn't know better and I will allow that tempter to get away with it because he speaks nicely. Merka is on my hit list for ending 2 and just how he took our mouth away (I thought of The Matrix when that scene happened). I don't think I'll like Yulen and Merka when their routes come out because of the dismemberment warning and what I've seen of them (I don't think their routes for the faint of heart). Shyloh also has dismemberment but that guy has shown remorse and might I say looks nice begging that I'll forgive him when it happens.

Back to my top 3. Rosario, the way he was acting is exactly how I like them. Good with their words, at disarming and charming you, keeps his ego on the down low (compared to Helios for example who has been acting like he cares for you but also can't handle being talked back to) and when you look at his trigger warnings is just at the right level for me. Insane but sweet. I'm a weak-hearted sub at the end of the day. Pretty boy with your double D PLEASE. I am begging on my knees for him haha.

Shyloh, already talked about it a little but yeah his duality is nice. Between obsessive and remorseful and forceful but also never seems to want to do wrong by you. After experiencing that demo I understand a little now why he didn't let go of Helios, his instincts of protecting the player overrode his instincts to listen to them. I want to see the guilt and sin of his character.

Speaking of guilt and sin, Kai seems to have a heavy burden on his shoulders being able to see things. The self harm and suicide warnings back this up. I think it will be a lore heavy route or I hope it is. And of the 6 he is the least asshole character of them. I am just not excited to know how insects will be involved in his route. That's the only thing I'm worried about.

Seven Deadly Sins x Greek love concepts. Ohhhhh~ Instead of introducing them to you the way the it shows in the page, I put them in order that I am familiar with (Obey Me) haha.

As always I can't wait to have fun with customization. I am also a sucker for stories where the creator ends up not being able to handle their creations.

Adonis, slicked back hair, features that could scream GILF or DILF depending on who you ask. I love me some dark purple haired characters. Off of vibes he reminds me of IkeVamp's Leonardo (who was my top 3 in that game). Hellooooo long haired man. Of all things gold and bright, Helios is quite a fitting name and the earrings being a sun is a nice touch. He looks like he'd fit in Castlevania. Slutty ahh open shirt and deathly pale skin.

Merka is giving Ruggie Bucchi to me. Scrappy and feral. Character designs like him I find to be a bit too much. Hello red-head, okay punk ass vibe. The description is giving off Natsu Dragneel on the low-key. I might like him the most. These two placed together do give off like they'd be close.

Always gotta leave it up to the Lust characters to be the cuntiest mfs on the planet. YES! Sultry, seductive, I would swoon over him, already am . Design wise my favorite and can't wait to read his lines in-game. Shyloh, insta skip. I'm not sorry, I love dark-haired MLs but if you give me a cast of more than 3, I'll usually go for the more colorful ones. Throughout the years I got sick of the rough and tough vibe these sort of characters have. Kai is the one I'm most neutral about. His little blurb does make me think he's more capable than usual sloth characters. And as someone with a pragma love style it just feels like I'd be dating myself which is why I go for more intense characters.

Concept-wise it wasn't my thing. Sporty LIs are always quite low on my interest list. So Dakota Ciy didn't really do anything for me personality-wise. Baseball and the MC, that's pretty much what he has going on for him so far.

Design wise I actually quite like how he's drawn and it being on the darker side of the color spectrum makes him easy on the eyes. I don't know how else to say this but the art style does fit in what I would sort of consider a western yandere born and raised in tumblr type. That certain rough edge and thick line art and boxy shapes everywhere.

What got me to talk about it (and create this post in the first place) is if you choose the gaming option during the date, the player mentions "VaporPunk 6044" which was basically a reference to Cyberpunk 2077 and as someone who is obsessed with that series in my free time for the past year I suddenly felt a kinship with the MC--and by extension, the creator.

There really is only one path so far, whether you accept the date or not all options lead to the same conclusion. An illusion of free will. Outside of the red text like the photo above shows there isn't anything "yandere" about him. Asocial maybe but nothing psychotic yet. It is still being updated and seems to be a slower burn so we'll see.

Monster Prom

I got the base game and the 2nd term DLC. It was incredibly fun but stat raisers get tiring. Love Vera, Damien, Liam, and Calculester in that order. I ended up liking the playable characters more than the love interests. Wild.  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love you Colonel Sanders

Very fun 1 hour read. It’s a joke but man was it fun. ⭐⭐⭐

Pastry Lovers

I played the whole thing and made an incredibly long review on steam. Nice campy otome. I don’t really have a favorite but enjoyed a few routes more than others. If you want to finish all routes it’s about 14 hours. I actually learned a little about pastry making.  ⭐⭐⭐

Nekopara Catboys Paradise

I remember all the flak this got from original nekopara fans and I say fuck those assholes. The game is a fully voiced and free otome that is more like a prologue. I hope they’d continue making this. Let us girls have our r-18 cat boys too damn it!  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Typical

The visuals aren’t my style and I described this as “it felt like I was reading a western romance book”. It’s been a while so I can’t remember much but near the end something shocked me. ⭐⭐⭐

Sounds of Verity

If you like dating demons this one would be up your alley. Same devs as Let’s not stay friends.

Hatoful Boyfriend Holiday Star

It’s a whack adventure. What else did you expect from this series. Thoroughly enjoyed the chaos. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blush Blush

Clicker game I played years ago when it just came out. Haven’t gone back in a while.  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fall... in Love (demo)

1 hour read. The voice acting needs work but I love the background design with a passion. Everything else is okay. ⭐⭐⭐
