I'M VERY GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT but a virus??? 😭😭😭 This version should be clean - can you tell me where you found the infected version? I'll try to get it taken down if I can?
Idk i cant remember which i think i was trying to download the kid at the back mobile cuz i was desperate and then i installed the game it said it might contain a virus i didnt care so i just installed it anyways and i saw your game instead i was curious so i played and it was pretty good so i came here to download it for a safer version but now i have a laptop so i can download visual novels without pirating them so im happy and oh i think its gone now cuz i cant find the link anymore and yeah it was a virus after i opened the game i kept getting virus alerts😭
😭 I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT and you want to know the lore!! I don't really want to drop all the spoilers in the comments (I know some people can't help themselves from opening up spoiler tags), but if you're still interested shoot me an email at chattercap@chattercap.com and I'll give you all the deets 🙌
Por favor nunca me manden a terapia XD así puedo seguir disfrutando de este tipo de juegos. Me encantó haha el último final es definitivamente mi favorito y todo lo que puedo decir es....TE AMO, RAKUO, casate conmigo
No te preocupes, hago este tipo de juegos en vez de ir a terapia, podemos evitar ir a terapia los dos juntos 😂😂😂 Muchas gracias por jugar, y me alegro de que te haya encantado Raku 😭.
This has taken over my life after playing Kanau its just great to look at the characters through the lens from that game. Them both wanting the best for each other. As off a neili can come off at first she cares so much for him even when you choose the meaner options. These are people who love each other and because they love each other they take actions that clash i cant wait for the third game!!!!
OHHHH gosh thank you so much for playing, and moreso for taking the time to play Kanau as well 🥹 I was wondering how people's impressions would change after playing the second game, and I'm really glad that Nelli's affection for Raku comes through!! (Even though she pretends not to she really does care about him a lot 😂) I hope that you enjoy the third game!!
I'm in love with this VN! It was the perfect length for all endings, a hint of sweet, disturbing, and mystery. I hope there's a sequel of either the past or future. Or both.
Oh, thank you so much for playing and leaving such a kind comment! I did put my "preferred blend" of disturbing/romance into this game, so I'm glad that others enjoy it too 🙏
Oh, and I actually decided to release both of those things! 😂 The prequel, Kanau is already out here:
It's around the same length as Karamu, but it's kinetic, with no choices.
And the sequel, Hanasu, will be out sometime this fall/winter (fingers crossed!) That one will be quite a bit longer than Karamu (around 5-6 times as long?) and will have six endings!
Fucking fantastic! The story, the visuals and especially the voice acting! I could listen to them talk for the rest of my life. It's not often that I enjoy it so that was a wonderful decision on your part! I can't wait to check out your other works and yeah...epic!
GOSH thank you so much, you're too kind 😭 I agree that the VAs did an utterly WONDERFUL job! They were actually the first VAs I got to work with, and I was so lucky to have the chance 😭 It really made me much more enthusiastic about including more VA in my games! Thank you for playing, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed!
crazy game ... i loved everything about it omg - the art, dialogues, characters, voice acting, plot, nuances in the relationship. i could not bring myself to hate nellie or raku and i liked that a lot. the complexity makes it so real. would love to try out more games from you! onto the prequel <3
DANG that is very high praise, thank you so much 😭😭😭 I really did want to paint both Nelli and Raku as highly flawed but still sympathetic, so I'm glad to hear that 🥹 I'm really grateful that you played, and I hope that you enjoy the next game! ☺️
awiee its what you deserve! 🫂 i'm glad to hear that the game definitely turned out as you intended, since it felt balanced on both raku and nellie's sides. thank youuu and it was my pleasure to play! <333
AH yes unfortunately I didnt release an Android build for Kanau, once I release all 3 it will be out for Android 🫡 I hope you enjoy it then, and thank you for the kind words! 😊
SHOUT OUT TO THE AWESOME VOICE ACTORS TOO!!! THEY DID DO AWESOME!!! I WAS LIKE WOAH
this game was absolutely amazing, the story plot and the characters. Though when I first played, I didn't enjoy how mean the mc was acting. I totally understand why but she seemed so harsh at first, but her reasoning became clear of course. Though I can say that, they knew each other before they were adults right? Or well it seems like they did. Considering how raku talks about her.
GOSH THANK YOU 😭😭 the voice actors did UTTERLY FANTASTIC, I was so lucky to work with them!!
And thank you so much 😭 I don't deserve the praise! I'm really glad that Nelli's prickliness made sense in the end 😂 And ohh well that's a bit of an (open) secret...
====SPOILER FOR KANAU===
Raku knows Nelli from before college, but Nelli only "met" him in college. I cover this part in Kanau, which is the prequel (you can play it on itch too, it's linked above 😂)
Thank you again for playing and taking the time to comment 🥹
OF COURSE! I honestly think you deserve more attention. It's clear how much you care about giving the characters a personality and depths to their story. I actually even made a little video about this game, I posted like a clip of raku (he's such a cutie). I also noticed that you had that game that like introduced them, and I honestly was going to play it because I was like I want to know more about their past!! I also felt like when he said she even like cared for the insects that It seemed it was like "she won't find me gross" but I really enjoyed this game ^^ and I hope to play many more games in the future by you! (:
I don't understand the mc's reason to break up. It makes no sense. I mean; It makes even less sense than usual in these games. oO Not that I am good at understanding human behavior, however much I study it.
I feel there is so much information missing in the intro that it leaves my head spinning. The mc acts completely unreasonable towards her ex, in every way.
The game hints at something we don't know, so I'll withhold my judgement on that. But I don't understand -anything- she does.
He's being nothing but nice and loving. Why is she overreacting so much? And over nothing at all?
Does she suffer from paranoia? Or some other mental illness?
The game is really well-made. Both the writing and the art is very good.
But the main character acts really effing weird, over absolutely nothing.
I'm going to guess she has some kind of mental problem, or something happened with her ex that we don't know about or something.
But she's behaving stranger than I am used to an mc behaving. And I'm pretty sure it's not just because human emotions eludes me this time.
I AM curious about what is going on tho.
As far as a 'hook' scene goes, this was excellent writing.
LOL it's interesting reading your play-by-play impressions... 😂 I am glad that you got the overall impression that I wanted and thought it was a good hook ("why is Nelli acting like this, what is going on, and why is she being so mean to her bf, who is nothing but nice to her? And certainly not just because she's a tsun...") 🤭 I hope you find the endings interesting!
And thank you for your compliments on the writing and art 😭 this was my second game that I released and my first game that was properly finished, and I wasn't really that confident at the time 💦 (I have gained a bit of confidence since then and I think I've improved a bit as a dev! 💪 Hopefully LOL)
While I normally prefer the games where I can insert myself rather than a pre-named mc, your game is good enough that I'm willing to invest in a character that is not me.
(I know, I'm super-lazy. I don't even read books without first reading a spoiler-heavy summary because most of them ends shitty in my opinion. Visual Novels are no different --especially the big pro ones. I've bought a million games that promise a villain love-interest, only to find he's just a sad kid who wants to do good thing but the world makes him seem more cruel than he is, OR he's got some kind of dumb-ass reason for killing people that totally justify it, making him an anti-hero, not a villain. Even more sadly, the first version is by far the most common and the second hard to find. >_> I keep hoping to see a true villain, but the games who features the kind of guy (or girl) I like are pretty much all unfinished games, and most doesn't seem to ever update.
I'm so tired of investing in new stories only to be disappointed at the end. *sigh*)
As far as I can tell, your story doesn't promise things it's unlikely to deliver on at least. (I played the other game in the triology just now. The choice-less demo at any rate. The story is interesting. The lack of choices a bit disappointing tho.)
So it may be worth playing the full game, regardless of how it ends.
Still, I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that at least one of the ends is a "bad end" where the guy goes serial killer crazy and the girl goes along with him in a Bonny & Clyde style. ^_^
Probably won't happen, but all the same... It'd be my favorite kind of end. lol
Oh gosh I'm flattered 😭 and so glad you found it there! I've been holding off the Steam release since it's a trio of three games total and I need to refactor them into one package for Steam 😂 so the first two games got released here first, but the last installment will be released close to simultaneously!
The game is seriously popular tho. I used a AI program to find yandere games, and most newer, and smaller, games do not show up because it has zero internet access --so someone took the time to feed the AI info on your game. Which is a good indication it's a good game. Or at least a popular one.
And I know it's a trilogy; Steam says so on my wishlist. lol
I never buy games outside of Steam, but I'll be waiting for the realize of the full game there. I like to collect all the good games in one place when I can. ^_^
Releasing the games one by one on Steam could actually benefit you more than realising them together. People who play a game and love it will always want more and more content. Being able to buy a follow-up / related game with their beloved characters after finishing the first one, even if they have to wait for it to come out, is always going to be common.
I remember the lines for the World of Warcraft expansion packs, even AFTER they started to sell them online, because people wanted the new ones the second they dropped. lol And I personally always end up buying DCL content for the games I love because I want the story to never end, after I first get the happy ending I want. (Using the word 'happy' loosely here, since I consider a romantic ending far better than any other ending in a yandere game. Even if that means you end in the hospital horribly broken and the super-nice guy who's never hurt anyone tells you he's going on a killing spree to kill those who did that to you, or like one end in Particles of Reality when Sebastian pulls the plug on you in the hospital and kills himself to join you. Although it's of course better if you both live and can be together. But not all games allow for such a super-happy ending. ...and that's not despite the fact that the guy is bat-crap crazy, but because of it. lol
Oh gosh 😂 I am flattered someone took the time! And AHH makes sense, I see! The demo (i.e. the first 2 games) should come on Steam sometime in the next few months (I just need to find the time to put the new build together 😂 )! And ohh yes! Unfortunately Steam charges a $100 fee for every submission, and this trio of games in particular will be free (hmm mainly because it was originally intended to be free, and also because of the content that it deals with, I wouldn't want to charge money for it), so I figured I'd save $200 by submitting them as a trilogy instead of individual titles lolol but I do intend to release some more yan flavor games that will be separate 😊 A couple more early this year, and maybe one later in the fall! All of them will have romantic endings of some flavor or another, but I've been in a tragedy mood, so we'll see how happy they are... I hope that you enjoy when you get to play 😊
Ah, I see. I didn't realize Steam took that kind of commission fee. I always assumed they'd take a percentage of the sales instead. That would have been a more profitable choice for them in the long run --especially with more popular games.
If you have games that become popular on Steam, maybe you can release DCL content for them rather than a new sequel seperatly? Is that cheaper? I'm a writer, not a game-maker, so I have no clue how putting your game on Steam works. lol
Oh they do both (so $100 fee plus 30% of the sales). It's a reasonable ask and the $100 prevents the platform from being flooded with spammers, but unfortunately it makes it difficult to justify putting free games on there 😅 I do plan to release some games with DLC 🤔 hopefully it goes well 😂

😂 I know the feeling... That's high praise, thank you for playing!! 🤭🤭🤭
I love this game so much! Can't wait for the next one
Thank you so much! 😊 Hard at work on it as we speak 🫡

Oh! I've been waiting for this to hit Steam properly!

I'm happy to be able to try it out. ^_^
