Интересная и очень атмосферная новелла! А ещё, немного напугало, что характером и поведением Rakuo похож на моего бывшего друга, который так и не стал парнем...
Вообще, я люблю все произведения с жанром Яндере, но в реальности такое действительно может напугать.
Мой английский плох, поэтому мне пришлось искать переводчик для приложений. 😭 Кстати, может кому-то понадобиться, я использовала «Bubble Translate»
О боже, спасибо вам огромное, что нашли время перевести и поиграть, хотя игра была на английском! 🥹Для меня большая честь, что вы нашли время! Вы не первый, кто говорит, что Ракуо кого-то напомнил вам в реальной жизни 🤣 Я восприму это как комплимент за реализм (хотя мне жаль, что это напомнило вам о таком опыте 😭 надеюсь, другие мои работы на яндере менее пугающе реалистично лол)
Еще раз спасибо, что нашли время поиграть и оставить комментарий!! Это так много значит для меня! (И простите, если перевод плохой, я использовал Google Translate!)
ohhhhhhmyGODDDD. THIS GAME WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE.
i can't even properly put it into words but this game has swept me off my feet. the way the story progressed and the plot began to unravel itself was written so well, and every other element in the game adjusted so well to each scenario that really upped that suspense!! don't get me started on that INSANE voice acting. the tone and words used for the dialogue was executed perfectly, with raku sounding so softspoken and loving as he became much more unhinged. this entire game surpassed my expectations since it takes such a long time to come across actually good writing for characters with a yandere complex, and this game did exactly that. i love how our mc isn't a complete saint herself either, and how you really have to think about the morality of each scenario.
i can't rate simply this 10 out of 10 because the scale is an insult to the beauty of the game. props to the creators!!
(AHHH I'm sorry that it took so long to approve this, the itch censors ate it and hid it 😭 and I don't get notifications fghfg)
OH GOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH, beautiful/swept you off your feet 😭 😭 that's such high praise, gosh 🥹 I'm SO happy that you enjoyed how the mystery unraveled, I was worried it was too much of a slow burn 😂 and gosh yes, I cannot praise the VAs enough, I am so lucky that I was able to work with them! (And 🤭 I'm glad you enjoyed Nelli! I think she and Raku make a good pair, at least morally speaking 🤭)
Gosh 😭 YOU'RE TOO KIND, I'm so grateful that you took the time to play and write such kind comments 🥹
For the Chattercap. I'm really, really sorry that I'm being too persistent, but you didn't respond to the email, and just in case it got into the spam folder, I'll duplicate my offer here. Would you like to translate your game into another language?
***
Well... If you are a person who reads the comments because you doubt whether it is worth playing this game, do not hesitate. Play it. I don't want to spoiler, but (I'll do it... maybe later) this is a pretty interesting game, during which I experienced many different emotions. The main characters are just buns, not with cinnamon, but with hot pepper, ahah)
***
A LITTLE SPOILER (maybe)
To be honest, I was looking for something tougher, straight out of the "I'd rather kill you than give you to someone" series, but Raku turned out to be pretty cute, and nevertheless, I liked it. At the beginning of the game, I just wanted to squeeze him, he was so adorable. Just a cutie.
***
SPOILER!!!
My first ending was the one in which the police came to Nelli. Then I went through all the forks, but nothing changed. It took me a while to realize that the point is that you need to go through to the end, and not start over as soon as you meet a familiar piece of text, that is, that in general the conversation can go according to more or less one scenario, but at the same time the set of answers changes the end. That's a pretty cool idea, by the way.
My second ending was the one where Raku described to Nelli her whole plan in the best traditions of detectives. He was damn hot, especially when he called the smell of blood "delicious".
I don't remember in what order the remaining two endings took place, but the one in which Raku is going to punish Nelli was so cruel because it ended in the most, MOST interesting place, ahah... In general, I was very sorry that the game ended, and I am very glad that a sequel is planned.
AHH HELLO, no, no, you're not being too persistent at all!! (If it's regarding the Russian TL, I'm sorry for the late reply, I was flustered by the kind offer and trying to come up with a good reply 😭 I've replied now, if that was you!)
HOT PEPPER BUNS FGHFGH 😂 I've never thought about it that way but I really love that 😂😂 Alas I have pretty soft preferences when it comes to love interests in general, even yans 🤣 so I was worried that people wouldn't like Raku because he's too soft, but I'm glad people enjoyed him regardless
===SPOILERS====
I'm so glad that you enjoyed the endings!! I won't lie that I was considering writing a continuation to the "punishment" ending but I couldn't make it work plot-wise so I dropped it for the time being 🤣 I am considering a spicy spinoff project though 🔥 and wrote a few scenes for it already! I'll probably make a post at some point to see if that's something that people would be interested in lolol
Thank you again for playing and reaching out to me 🥹 I'm so honored!!
Ahah, I had no chance to resist Raku. In fact, yandere is a type of character which is cool to read about, but which is absolutely not cool to have as a partner in real life. Raku is an exception. He loves obsessively, he really is a monster, but you can trust him with anything: your life, your soul, yourself and everything that is dear to your heart. In addition, the relationship with him seems to be as comfortable as possible. Maximally. So yes, I had no chance.
What am I even talking about here, if at times, going through the game, I begged Nelli not to be too strict with him, although initially I treated him rather... I don't know... skeptical, perhaps? Well, for example, I laughed when he didn't want to leave Nelli alone in the woods, mentioning Sana, because I thought he was the one who killed her. Well, who knows? Sana was Nelli's best friend, after all. Yandere could easily become jealous of her and want to get rid of her so that she would not attract the attention of his partner to herself.
OHHHH, I'm looking forward to it! I am very, VERY interested in how you implement this, but I'm not rushing you in any way)
Thank you for the answer and I wish you success! ❤️
UPDATE: It wasn't as bad as I thought I think it due to the design also the story was amazing, The PLOT TWIST was chef kiss I'm not kidding when I say your a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious creator (I needed a better word to describe you)
I love the creepy and tense atmosphere you build up as you go through the game and the plot twist of the true ending was quite surprising (in a good way). Raku is my favorite type of yandere where he has an established history with MC/Nellie and his yandere-ness feels like a slow unraveling where at the end he becomes fully unhinged instead right from the start. I also love that based on our choices MC is allowed to be morally ambiguous because of the potential for unhinged MC x unhinged ML (one of my favorite tropes). With the added context from Kanau, it is so interesting being able to go back to this game, comb through the dialogue and get a deeper and better understanding of Raku's and Nellie's backgrounds and characterizations. I can't wait for sequel!
AHH thank you so much for the kind words 😭 💦 I'm really glad that you like the slow unraveling of Raku's character, I really wanted things to slowly get scarier as the game progressed 😂 two unhinged characters together is absolutely one of my favorites tropes too, it's more fun that way 😆 and OHH you replayed after Kanau 😭 I'm honored, thank you!!
I'm making very good progress on the sequel 🫡 I hope it ends up being fun! Thank you again for playing 🙏

Maaf jika terjemahannya buruk, saya tidak bisa berbahasa Indonesia jadi saya menggunakan Google Translate! 🙇
OH I'm so glad to hear that (especially since I concepted Kanau shortly after I finished this one, I was worried about the consistency)! Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed! ☺️
Okay first of all I love it. all of the endings, but what intrigue me the most is the ending C, like what lesson babe that you would teach me come on tell me im all ears, like my imagination is wild i want all the details, must i say I SUPER LOVE THIS, cause like FULLY VOICED FOR FREE? please have a delicious meal everyday dear dev. I played the kamui first then this one, I hope to play more of your games in the future you're now one of my fav dev and I like the ending D very much.
Thank you so much for the kind words 😭 💦 They mean a lot! Ending C might be my favorite too 😂 Ngl was tempted to write a continuation of that one LOL I'm so glad that you enjoyed them both 🙏 Thank you again for playing and taking the time to comment!!
OMG I didn’t expect the endings. Talk about a plot twist. I enjoyed the game. I liked how you get a little bit more of the story as you keep getting endings, depending on the order in which you reach each end. I love games that pay attention to detail, and this is one of them. (love the males jacket/hoodie design?) I was excited to find out this game has a origin story. I got it right away.
I like that it was illustrated entirely with live 2d- style animated cgs and comic book style. I love reading comic books, so I enjoyed that extra. I absolutely love the way the female character looked. The way the male character was portrayed was fabulous I'd love a male like that. I mean how could you break up with someone like that even if he is a little yandere. No spoilers so ill stop at that.
It can be helpful the game comes with a walkthrough if you need it. This game was the first I played where you can just click a button and get the walkthrough. More people should make one, especially for the harder games. The voice actors did a great job. I have to say the female has a beautiful voice to me.
My only complaint it was too short. A lot of work went into the making of this so I thank you for that.
OH thank you for all the kind words, they mean so much 😭 I'm so glad that you liked the comic book style! I love comics too, so I really want to incorporate more of that visual storytelling into my work! And I'm happy that you liked Nelli and Raku!
AHHH I'm so glad that you liked the in-game walkthrough! I understand the frustration of replaying a game over and over to get the ending that you missed, so I always want to include one for players so that they have the option (and, of course, I want people to experience the entire game!) And both VAs are so talented, I was so lucky to be able to work with them! Zoe's voice is SO beautiful!
🤣 I'll take it as a compliment! I wanted to wrap up their story in a more satisfying way, so I released the prequel, and I'm currently working on a sequel! It's quite a bit longer than this game, so I hope it's enjoyable! I hope you have fun with the prequel, too! Thank you again for playing and taking the time to comment 🥹
God, this game was so delightful! The sound effects and the voice acting and the bgm with the beautiful visuals all sucked me and transported me into the world you made! I love, love, love the visuals! They are so incredible unique and creative! I teared up a few times playing this game. Raku's voice actor did such an incredibly job of delivering his lines! I really felt the pain and the heartbreak in every single line!
I don't play horror at all but I really enjoyed the creepy atmosphere of this game! I love both characters and gosh I just really loved this game!!!!
AHHH you're too kind, thank you so much! 🥹 I'm so glad that you like the visuals 😭 and I agree, the VAs for this project couldn't have done a better job; I was so lucky to have the chance to work with them!
YOU DON'T PLAY HORROR, I'm so honored you gave this game a chance! Thank you so much for playing and for taking the time to leave a comment 😭
Ohhhhhh my goodness. This game was delightfully creepy - I normally don't play horror games, but I had heard such wonderful things about this game that I wanted to give Karamu a shot, and my god, I am so glad I did!!
Nellie is such a unique protagonist in otome land (I can't think of anyone heading off to veterinary school!) and the composition and animation made the game feel like I was flipping through pages of a comic book.
I also want to add that the walkthrough was super helpful, and that you did a fantastic job of capturing that creepy five AM atmosphere! I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time, and also: the arachnophobia warning was honestly a bit of an understatement LMAO, but we persevered!! Thank you for sharing this with us. It was a treat, and I can't wait until I have more time to play the sequel!
OH GOSH, I'm so flattered that you played it even though horror games aren't typically your speed (I did hope that people who don't normally seek out horror would be able to have fun with this one!) And 😭 you heard wonderful things about it, gosh idk who's saying that but I'm very grateful to them! 😭😭😭
I'm SO glad that you liked Nelli 🥹 I feel like enjoying LIs in an otome is almost a given 😂 so it's just so special when someone likes your protagonist!
AHHH I'm glad that you appreciated the walkthrough, and that the game had that tense atmosphere! Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave a review, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy the sequel too 🤭
You absolutely succeeded in making a horror game fun and creepy without it being overwhelming!! I cannot understate how much I generally avoid horror, and yet Karamu hit a lot of solid narrative notes. The atmosphere helped a lot, I believe; the game was really dynamic with unique animations that drew me into their world, and as someone that used to go on 5am runs, you nailed how quiet the world is at that hour. But mostly, I think it's the lack of jumpscares and assuming your audience needs shock to be horrified? Karamu reminds me of older horror films (like Psycho and other Hitchcock films), where your imagination does a lot of the work, and *that's* the kind of horror a wider audience can get behind, I think.
Nelli was FANTASTIC. While her VA did such a great job at invoking her emotions, I truly wasn't expecting to love her as much as I did. ♥ You've certainly made a fan out of me, lol! I look forward to playing your other games and leaving reviews on them too (and honestly, sharing your games with my friends who DO enjoy horror!! I know that if I'm having a grand time, they'll enjoy it even more)
To be honest I couldn't be too objective while playing this game because Raku is basically just like my ex, and it felt honestly so weird to play a game like this with someone that reminds me that much of him. The break-up is fairly recent so it just makes it even weirder- PLUS, some things are word-for-word texts that he sent me, so it was a surreal experience, ngl, but besides that, I reeeally loved this game!! Some of the endings were particularly hard due to my situation, but I honestly really loved it!! Also, I want to directly thank you for adding a walkthrough inside the game, it made me so honestly happy to see it!!! <33
DFGDFGDFGDFG OH GOSH I hope that this wasn't too triggering for you or anything, especially so soon after the break-up 😭 that's a wild coincidence...considering how clingy Raku is, I hope that you managed to have a clean break...(though I am a bit glad to hear that it was so true to your experience!) I'm so glad that you liked it 🥹 (even despite the surrealness of it all). Thank you for taking the time to play!
IT WASN'T TRIGGERING, DW!!! To be honest, it was a weird coincidence, but it was really fun regardless!! About the break-up, it wasn't like awfully bad, he did blame me for his latest attempt but after I blocked him I've been at relative peace with the situation!! And I'm 100% going to play the prequel now, thank you so much for such an amazing and fun game <3

I don't play horror at all but I really enjoyed the creepy atmosphere of this game! I love both characters and gosh I just really loved this game!!!!
AHHH you're too kind, thank you so much! 🥹 I'm so glad that you like the visuals 😭 and I agree, the VAs for this project couldn't have done a better job; I was so lucky to have the chance to work with them!
YOU DON'T PLAY HORROR, I'm so honored you gave this game a chance! Thank you so much for playing and for taking the time to leave a comment 😭
Ohhhhhh my goodness. This game was delightfully creepy - I normally don't play horror games, but I had heard such wonderful things about this game that I wanted to give Karamu a shot, and my god, I am so glad I did!!
Nellie is such a unique protagonist in otome land (I can't think of anyone heading off to veterinary school!) and the composition and animation made the game feel like I was flipping through pages of a comic book.
I also want to add that the walkthrough was super helpful, and that you did a fantastic job of capturing that creepy five AM atmosphere! I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time, and also: the arachnophobia warning was honestly a bit of an understatement LMAO, but we persevered!! Thank you for sharing this with us. It was a treat, and I can't wait until I have more time to play the sequel!
OH GOSH, I'm so flattered that you played it even though horror games aren't typically your speed (I did hope that people who don't normally seek out horror would be able to have fun with this one!) And 😭 you heard wonderful things about it, gosh idk who's saying that but I'm very grateful to them! 😭😭😭
I'm SO glad that you liked Nelli 🥹 I feel like enjoying LIs in an otome is almost a given 😂 so it's just so special when someone likes your protagonist!
AHHH I'm glad that you appreciated the walkthrough, and that the game had that tense atmosphere! Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave a review, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you enjoy the sequel too 🤭
You absolutely succeeded in making a horror game fun and creepy without it being overwhelming!! I cannot understate how much I generally avoid horror, and yet Karamu hit a lot of solid narrative notes. The atmosphere helped a lot, I believe; the game was really dynamic with unique animations that drew me into their world, and as someone that used to go on 5am runs, you nailed how quiet the world is at that hour. But mostly, I think it's the lack of jumpscares and assuming your audience needs shock to be horrified? Karamu reminds me of older horror films (like Psycho and other Hitchcock films), where your imagination does a lot of the work, and *that's* the kind of horror a wider audience can get behind, I think.
Nelli was FANTASTIC. While her VA did such a great job at invoking her emotions, I truly wasn't expecting to love her as much as I did. ♥ You've certainly made a fan out of me, lol! I look forward to playing your other games and leaving reviews on them too (and honestly, sharing your games with my friends who DO enjoy horror!! I know that if I'm having a grand time, they'll enjoy it even more)
To be honest I couldn't be too objective while playing this game because Raku is basically just like my ex, and it felt honestly so weird to play a game like this with someone that reminds me that much of him. The break-up is fairly recent so it just makes it even weirder- PLUS, some things are word-for-word texts that he sent me, so it was a surreal experience, ngl, but besides that, I reeeally loved this game!! Some of the endings were particularly hard due to my situation, but I honestly really loved it!! Also, I want to directly thank you for adding a walkthrough inside the game, it made me so honestly happy to see it!!! <33
DFGDFGDFGDFG OH GOSH I hope that this wasn't too triggering for you or anything, especially so soon after the break-up 😭 that's a wild coincidence...considering how clingy Raku is, I hope that you managed to have a clean break...(though I am a bit glad to hear that it was so true to your experience!) I'm so glad that you liked it 🥹 (even despite the surrealness of it all). Thank you for taking the time to play!
IT WASN'T TRIGGERING, DW!!! To be honest, it was a weird coincidence, but it was really fun regardless!! About the break-up, it wasn't like awfully bad, he did blame me for his latest attempt but after I blocked him I've been at relative peace with the situation!! And I'm 100% going to play the prequel now, thank you so much for such an amazing and fun game <3
