oh my god PLEASE this NEEDS to be a full game!!! a lot of indie otome/dating sim/visual novels get their financial start on Kickstarter (like A Date with Death + Beyond the Bet, Touchstarved, etc) So you may be able to reach out to some fellow indie devs that have already managed a campaign and get some assistance and/or collaborators! If you're at all interested in keeping your game alive I highly recommend this route! you should be very proud of yourself this demo is absolutely insane - well done and thank you 🧡
just to note becuse radio silence is probably not cash money. it’s not about any problem with money or anything, it’s just making a visual novel is really hard, and that’s why the game has the ‘this is our first time’ warning, we mostly didn’t know if we would continue the game. members just felt like they didn’t want to, which is their right to do.
though, even after a year the boys are still on my mind, maybe i can try to write one or two text stories based on their routes if people would read those….
I would be more than happy to read text stories!!
This was so good. The kind of game art I'd gladly pay for. Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y.
This was a super cool demo! I love the cyberpunk aesthetic and both love interests seem very intriguing, though I’m slightly more partial to Rat :) Sad to read you have no plans of finishing the game but I’d be here for it if the game does ever get an update!
AHH this is such a good demo, cant wait for the full game to come out
Pretty sure they said in another comment that they don't plan to finish the game, I just wanted to smooch the Rat King 〒▽〒
im going feral for rat om
I am the only one who thinks that their names remind me of cat and dog🤔
Literally was a minute in and I immediately fell for Rat, god he is so pretty
Omg yes HE SO HOT COME HERE DADDY 💕💕💕💕💕
anyone else absolutely struggling with the minigame, or is it just me?
-edit IGNORE ME, I'M SO DUMB I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD PRESS THE OVERLOAD BUTTON, SO I WAS SITTING HERE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES TRYING TO BEAT THIS GODS DAMNED MINIGAME.
i don't mean to be dumb but i've also been trying to figure out where is the overload button. i don't see it on my screen?
OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS AWESOME. really want to see this as a full game <33
im going to cry i need the full game
lmao I fing love this game the bois are hot and mc is deadpan funny XD
When does the full game come out? Dog is a cricket player
that's a six but it's end of the inning
I love him either way.
They're so funny pls, but also, on my knees for Dog. woof
>D yeAS
I love that they just named me Racoon. I'm not even mad, I love racoons. Also, both Rat and Dog are adorable!
am i the only one who can't open the game on windows (pc folder)?
nevermind :D i tried downloading it again after 3 times!!
This was amazing!! The art is absolutely gorgeous, adored the inclusion of a mini-game, the music is a bop, and I love the story so far!! I really hope there ends up being a full game -- I'd love to see more (even if it ends up being a different game by you guys)!! Wow!! <3
:D thank you so much <3 no plans to continue it atm though
Hi! I enjoyed the demo a lot, but I can't help but notice how this kind of game surely must have taken a lot of time ESPECIALLY the menu, my only question is if the game will be paid? The game looks like it really could be
thank you <3 there's no plans atm to continue the game I just wanted to participate in the otome jam and it kinda got out of hand lol
I really like the demo 😍 The art is so gorgeous and the characters are so cute and sweet! The story is really interesting and intriguing. Can't wait for the full release<3
SO MUCH care and love has clearly gone into this game! I'm already intrigued by the whole environment and already want Rat's hand in marriage!
They got the vibe down, the character design is gorgeous. Can't wait for the full game. ^_^
I'm not sure if you're still updating, but, I just thought this game was great. The art style is very cute too! <3
omg the art??????? so gorgeous
What a fun demo! Rat and Dog are both extremely charming in the way of cyberpunk troublemakers. I really liked both of them, though Rat was my favorite - such a sweetheart! The dialogue was really well done and I thought their banter was super cute, both between the LIs and with the MC (MC is also such a sassmachine, I love it). I always love a sci-fi game, and this one definitely hits the spot! The demo sets up some interesting worldbuilding elements, so I am really curious to see where the full game goes.
I do have to make a special nod to the art. The character art is absolutely stunning (like woooooow these boys are hot). I also like the backgrounds and title screen art. The backgrounds feel so grungy and I love it, the mood for the setting is really well portrayed.
Overall, I loved my time with this demo, and am really excited for the full game!
i absolutely LOVED this!!! it's become my new hyperfixation I LOVE IT!!! i actually drew fanart of Rat that I'm putting here because i have 0 online presence-
tysm for making this game ITS SO GOOD!!!
COOL ART!! :D
TY!!! :D
omfg this is so damn goddamn cute ;-; rAT
love it!! I dunno what to say thank you so much aaa
HFSJKDH TY!!! :DD
WOW THATS SO GOOD!!
This game was really funny and I hope I can see more of it :)
however I did encounter a minor issue that's more of a nitpick then anything but I notice that some lines are mismatch with the wrong characters. besides that I just really want to lockpick !
do you have any specific examples? becuse i am looking over the game right now and i can’t see any mismatches.
So I played the game to double check and I believe it was on my part. I probably wasn't fully paying attention. I'm sorry for the confusion .
aw don’t worry, thank you playing it two times now though!
i'm inlove with this from the extras i'm guessing dog loves cats which is a W
he does! or at least, in my notes he is an animal lover.
rat is a bit of a scaredy cat – ha – around em.
I love thay his name is Rat
if one of them was a cop id call him pig
HAHA
This was INCREDIBLE fun! the graphics are wildly good, the sound is really nice on the ears, and the dialogue and characters felt so natural--it's really nice to be immersed in a story like this. Looking forward to the full version, whenever it comes around!
thanks!!
This demo is so gorgeous I just want to keep playing it. Seriously. the menu screen on its own is a work of art.
I would love to see more of this game. Their dynamic makes the three of them seem like a perfect little triad and I need more of that in my gaming life.
thank you <3
The game is awesome :D art style, character design, dialogue
I love how everything is customized to suit the game's theme, the start screen and saving one are so beautiful!
can't wait for the full game :D
As someone who does art in their free time, it took me so long to progress in the game's story because I was captivated by how gorgeous and flawless the art was
HOW DOES THE ARTIST NOT HAVE A LOT OF FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM WHAT
the quality of this vn is absolutely UNMATCHED - love both of the LIs soso much + the art is gorgeous !! the menu took my breath away too <3
i absolutely cant wait for the full release !!!
Oh my goodness, this is just too good. I absolutely cannot wait for the full game. I’m in love with everything about it! The story, the characters, the design, the art, the flow, the back-and-forth, the dialog, the music, all of it. I love all of it! I cannot wait! Good job, guys! I love the bits, the blush, the jokes, the bickering, the animal names. The menu and navigation, as well as the text box and stuff - it’s all so good. Ah, I just can’t get enough.(PS, the gallery really be doing things to me).
This is such a great demo!! I'm super into the art style on all fronts, and I loved the character interactions! MC is so relatable and cracked me up more than once, but everyone got their moment to shine and I can see myself getting into either route as well as MC's own character arc 🦝. I was surprised and delighted by the unlocked extras as well! You definitely deserve props, and I hope to see more from our animal trio in the future! :>
there is a moment in a life of a creative work where the creator after being hard at work or being stuck at some snag, that they lean back and then imagine the perfect feedback. the type of review that basically confirms every detail, every quirks and points they put into it will be understood.
that review somehow popped up again as your comment, thank you so much.
very cool demo:) love the details, like the opening menu. Art is rad. Looking forward to learning more about rat and dog<33 thanks for sharing devs
thanks for checking it out <3!
hey I'm really curious about this game but I don't understand how to open it : I just have a bunch of folders and I dont know what to do or what to open !!
hi hi just look for the file called databreach.exe and double click it to run it!
Hi !! I tried but it doesn't work as it says it's a microsoft app and macOS can't run it, what should I do ?
I even tried downloading the itch.io app but it just isn't working :((((
It works perfectly on my device thanks !!
THIS LOOKS LIKE SUCHA GOOD GAME OMFG love the art alreadyyy <3
but once I downloaded it I'm not sure how to get to the game from the folder that was downloaded , either I'm mega dumb or im mega mega dumb hehe! Someone save me from my confusion !!
thanks for your interest! and as for the folder, if you right click it you should get an option to "unzip" it somewhere on that menu, hope that helps
Underrated as hell right now. Love the art, the OST, the mood, everything. The MC is refreshingly different as well from a lot of other entries -- huge props there! Also, I love that the extras you unlock are concept art pieces. That was a sick feature to add. Nice job gamers!
omg, barbie of robo fame. blooming panic was a huge inspiration on the vn, at least on my writing end.
funny story about mc, original drafts of the story had a stand-in... honestly, boring mc, and the team was 'no, make the mc fun.' and well, they were right on that part.
A brilliant choice!
