NOBODY13'S PROFILE

I'll start by saying that I liked the game very much. The Story is really good and the dialogues are well written. The graphics are what I liked the most. Not only all the characters had face sets but also expressions, which make the game even more fun and enjoyable, in my opinion. The cutscenes are also really good and made everything better/clearer. I also liked the battle-system. Unlike the standard one, this was more entertaining and not boring at all.
The BGM at the beginning was a bit too loud, I had to turn the volume down. I had earphones, so I don't know how loud it was without earphones. Another flaw was when I wanted to sprint I had to wait a tiny bit before the character actually sprinted. It was kinda slow. Other than that I've got nothing bad to say about this game.

Now, about the ending:

Show

I didn't quite understand when Mayu said that it was all Hotaru's fault. That she created this hell for them. Not only that, but what were those animals? They actually are humans but dressed up as animals? From the cutscenes I understood that she had no friends but then Itsuki came and they started to hang out together. But then again, he had white hair in her dreams...
Which made me think if that person, in her dreams, was actually Mayu? And the game ended with her being at a hospital... So was she sick or something? How many endings are there?

One more thing, it would have been better if you would have showed what were those masked people's objectives and what they have against the government. Why the government used people to begin with, who this Lord is ect.. I think it would have made the game more understandable. But I understand if you wanted to keep it short. I wished to see more about Gomi as well, and... R.I.P Haru T-T He was so nice. It's sad they forgot about him.

PS: I noticed that in the menu Hotaru is named as "??????". Is it because she's dreaming?
- I really liked that cutscene with Itsuki and Mayu together with the soundtrack and all. Good job.
- It made me quite sad to see Hotaru going away without saying anything to Itsuki.

Again, I liked the game very much and I recommend it to anyone. Keep up the good work!

Hello there! Thank you for playing our game, it means a lot to us!

I will try to answer to several of your questions about the game:

Show

Those animals were actually a representation of the personalities of the individuals Hotaru met, and the character without an animal mask was an individual Hotaru thought he was sincere. All those animals are metaphorical.

Also, Mayu said it was Hotaru's fault because Itsuki had to do all those things for her instead of just living his life normally. Also, I don't know if you noticed, but some dialogs refer to some actions to had already happened in the past several times, they are also a part of Itsuki's "hell".

The reason why is Hotaru in hospital can be observed only in the last displayed image from the game (where she looks through the window), I don't want to spoil anything so I will let you find it (it is a small detail).

And about the Society and the Masked Guys, the game is made to not reveal this information, yet... the night scene of 4th day (where they encounter that Masked guy for first time), the dialog of the Masked Guy reveals several reasons why are they fighting the government (where he states about "Primal Shields" and why he pities them).

There is only one ending in the whole game, but there is an additional "route" which only reveals information regarding the game's world (which also contains very important information if you'd analyse that scene in detail).

And no, Hotaru's name is displayed as "??????" because Hotaru is not her real name.

We are sorry if some information was not detailed/clear enough, we will definitely consider it for future updates!

Thank you again for playing!
