Forgotten

I've finally gotten around to playing through this game and will agree that it's pretty good. Honestly would like to see a sequel some day even if I'm not sure how you'd handle it narratively. My main complaints are with the ending, the controls, and the short length.

I won't harp on the ending too much, since there seems to be a consensus there. The fact there wasn't a gotcha where Yuki turned out to be evil or victory actually being impossible is worthy of praise. Too much horror media thinks that a sudden twist at the end where victory is yanked away last second is quality writing. So I'm glad you didn't, even if I'd have liked there to be more choice in how it ends rather than be so vague. I'm hesitant to actually call it anticlimactic given that it comes after a difficult fight, but it'd work better with some falling action of some kind.

This might be a bit of bias, but I'm not too fond of the controls. Both styles feel clunky and the lack of controller support makes it harder to work with for me. That being said, this is a relatively minor problem in the grand scheme of things and I understand that a lot of work is involved with this kind of stuff. So I wouldn't worry too much about it in the long run.

As for the short length, I feel that it would've been nice to have a slightly longer and more involved story. As it is, it's not bad but I was surprised at just how quickly I got through it. I also understand that this isn't as simple as pressing a, "more content" button. And what's there is by no means bad, maybe a bit simple, but still good.

Whelp, downloaded this game last night, and just beat it 3 times in a row.
Controls are a little clunky but nothing too bad, and outside of a few weird camera positions I don't really have anything to complain about.

first and second run took me about 20 minutes each, and then my third hitless run took me about 9:48

Fun game, though it's a bit short, but hey. Makes a decent little speedrun game. I think optimally should only take about 9 minutes to complete.

Good job on the game, and keep up the great work... maybe come back for a sequal.  I will say though, I kinda wish we'd get more on the mc's feelings at the end.

Personally, I thought the orbi lighting effects and floor reflection were phenomenal!

Hello:) 

I don 't want to step on a sore spot . 

Do you accept ideas about new games ?

Hi , tell us what are the bonuses in this game for passing ?

Do you have a Discord ?

Is it coming for android?

I'm wondering what you mean by the sentence (I'm planning this for the next one) ? 

Will there be an update in the future?

Hello DesiDee Games.

The game is very good :)

 You will be able to make the detail (breast expansion) slightly larger:

 With the size of a basketball.

really neat little game! will you do a game like this in the future maybe on a bigger scale i would love to see one 

:/ the game is great but... imo the cctv camera gimmick (instead of following the player) doesn't work for me:

• less immersion (since you're not following the MC around)
• awkward angles + most of the time MC takes like, 1 pixel. also means you can't walk up to get a close up of items. not that it's necessary, but still
• also while the default control mode is nicer to use, i feel like something's wonky sometimes. not sure if sometimes it just doesn't change when switching cameras, or if each camera has an orientation and it's just set wrong for some of them?
  • but also i feel like controls would be a lot smoother if camera just followed the player. with tank controls, turning takes forever which makes it really awkward in combat when you're, say, trying to run away quickly, or even just strafe. as for camera controls, you'll have to change the direction you move in every time the camera changes which i think would be quite frustrating

oh also i feel like the revive animation is way too long.

I found 17/19 on my first playthrough, can I know where all of them are so I can see it all?

honestly, this game is just incredible. I must have played through it about a dozen times by now, and I think it's one of the best transformation concepts on itch.io (no death & full completion run, success)! The story is already so interesting: the premise of gathering memories is really nicely woven into the gameplay and exploration (and I'm a sucker for finding collectables in games!). Even the progression is incredibly well done--the first spirit in the courtyard and the gradual ramping up the difficulty with more spirits to avoid or defeat was wonderfully explored. Level design and enemy placement is so creative and really stellar as well; all the areas feel very distinct in layout and use of space!! Being given Yuki's attacking power halfway into the game was empowering and wonderfully changed the experience from survival-horror to more of an ARPG in a very, very fun way--absolutely loved that moment on my first playthrough^^

I do have the occasional troubles with the camera sticking and movement/aiming precision, but these have become less frequent as I play through the game more. It may have been a really nice concept to have the spirits induce gradual mental changes in the protag with each defeat and have the collectables induce physical changes, but I understand weaving them together as the narrative progresses. That said, I do find myself more engaged with the first couple of beginning changes and less so with the end-game changes because they're so similar. As a suggestion, maybe having a small progress meter or counter on the pause menu to track deaths/active spirits/collectables would be useful to prevent playing through the whole game and only finding out at the end that you missed a pickup somewhere. 

But anyway, suggestions aside, I think my personal highlight was solving the banner-glasses puzzle and figuring out how to no-damage the final boss. I'd love love love to see this game expanded out into a longer experience if you had the time and interest to do so; it's already got such a fantastic foundation! I feel like I can very easily imagine the transformations taking place over a longer period of time, unlocking different helpful abilities with Yuki gradually remembering herself (things like maybe a time freeze, shield, multi-hit attack, etc?), and expanding the gameworld so that perhaps a gate in the beginning courtyard area could be opened upon defeating the Vice Principal--(maybe this building isn't the only one that's haunted at this university campus)! A scenario where player could run into his old friends from the intro, but they don't recognize him due to the transformations might also be so fun to watch play out. My imagination with how this game could grow even larger is going in all sorts of directions now--suffice it to say that playing through this was a really inspiring experience for me.

Regardless of if you had any intent to keep building upon this game, just bravo on making something so memorable. I'm absolutely in love with what you've made here, and I'll keep on the lookout for more of your work in the future

This is amazing - I really love what you have done here! The controls and everything are a little jarring, but the overall game idea and that you have the slow transformation of the character model is just spectacular!!

I would love to see more on this type of game from you - it is really worth some money for donation.

We need to see more of this type of game because this is moving away from the "everything TG needs to be Visual Novel, or RPGMaker". This proves there is a great potential in new game medium.

whoa nice I just found out you made a new game, I like it so far maybe more outfit collectables would be nice to custom the mc with many outfit options like more casual girl wear or somethin, a nude mode would be nice, I like that this game  uses anime style model and themes. I think a similar changing room game idea would be nice with the anime model style with the 3rd person transformation view

Hi!

the Linux build seems to be missing files:

how many collectibles are there? and is there a topless mode?

10/10 Only Thing I Slightly Dislike Is The Hitbox On The VP Tentacle 

Played it all the way through, I really enjoyed it. The controls could use some updates, but besides that it's a really fun game.
