What if your wish actually can come true? You just wish and someone else will do it for you. It comes with a price though...

Play as LUCIA NICOL, a snobbish girl who only thinks of herself. She's trapped in a weird situation after she wished for those who bullied her, ANASTASIA and her gang to feel the same thing. One by one, they are attacked and their body parts were taken. All the clues points to Lucia, but Lucia knows for sure she didn't do any of those... Could it be that the delinquent YURI IVANOV did it?

Meanwhile, some of the people she knows disappear as well, like ENRICO MORETTI and Lucia starts to see people... Those who cannot be seen and heard by others, such as CLIFFORD RHODES. Even his brother, ARTHUR NICOL, says she's crazy.

Her schoolmates, JUN SUWABARA, BLAKE LANDERS, RAPHAEL MARTIS, IGNATOUS IVANOV and LEE ZHUYUAN also have some things they hide... And they are also involved in this thing.... Are they enemies or are they allies?

What's happening to Lucia? Will she be able to prove herself innocent? Will she save everyone who's been missing? What is the source of all these?

Rated 16+ for language and violence.

With six different paths, more than ten different endings, and many unlockable bonus... Solve this mystery please!

Soo what do ya think?

Hi! I played your demo today~ I thought it was really interesting. I really like the idea/premise and the story so far was really good. I'd really like to see you finish this project!
Here's my review of the demo:

Overall, I think you have a lot of progress on the game. I won't comment on art because your sprites aren't yet finished. However, there were quite a few details that I think you should really look at. In the beginning...

The other thing that bothered me with the demo was the color scheme of the preference menu. I know the game isn't complete yet, but you should probably reconsider using dark red and black together because it makes it very hard to see the volume bars. Maybe you could try light grey and dark red, or a lighter red with black.

Speaking of colors, the color-coding for the character's names also seemed a bit random. At first, I thought the names might be color-coded by hair color since Blake and Lucia had name colors similar to their hair colors, but then Arthur, Jun, AND Anastasia had yellow names and Lee had a dark yellow name. I don't even remember the colors of Rico, Yuri, etc's names because the whole name color system seemed random. Is there a reason you chose certain colors for certain character's names?


Other than those points, there were quite a few bugs with images/text appearing. The first time the "Lunchtime" and "Later That Day" transitions appeared, they were not on black backgrounds which made it INCREDIBLY hard to read xD There are also several places where narrative dialogue appears over where the names would normally go instead of being spaced down. The only place I noted this down is where

But it also happens several times in places where the text says ".............." with different lengths of periods.
Some image glitches include when
There's also a part where Rico says "inhibits" instead of "inhabits." :/

Now for some things I liked!
I think you picked out a really lively soundtrack. I especially like the song you used as Yuri's "theme music." I thought it was really fitting for his character. The usage and timing of sound effects was also really effective. The only thing that bothered me with sound was the background chattering sounds, but that's really just a personal thing for me.
Great work so far! Keep at it and I'm sure this will be an awesome game when it's finally released!

... And I guess Yuri is my favorite character?

Hmm, sounds reasonable enough, I'm going to change that, thanks!



It was temporary, of course. I'm going to use imagemap for options and load/save



Ah, I was picking it randomly. But I will change the color scheme for the full game, demo was a bit rushed really



I didn't go too deep with that, because it's not really that important to the story but it's like they have some kind of artistic talents that lets them enter the school without having to pay much, I guess.



Thanks for pointing that out! They all will be edited when beta-testing starts!


I'm glad it you like it!

Updates as this project is not dead:



and:



I once had a brother,
He was very nice and mature,
He taught me about a lot of things,
And I really respect him.

But then, he disappeared.
He says he can't be with us anymore.
I feel betrayed.
I thought we're going to be family for sure,
I'm sure he'll marry my sister someday.
And then, we'll be real brothers.

Then, brother came back.
He started to take everything I have.
Everything I wanted.
He said to me, that some things can't be solved by words.
So in order to teach me something,
He have to take everything I have.
Everything I've always wanted.

My bloodstained hand,
her tears,
the woman I love is in pain.
I don't get it,
Why?



Hope this will spur theories

Remaking stuff

What do you think?



Lee's head now looks smaller and he certainly looks more like his age



Yeah, he looks older now. That's the effect I'm looking for.

Wow, nice improvements! Not only do they look older, but the proportions are much better as well. ^_^ Great job!

My blogs were hacked. I'm currently trying to get them restored. Don't worry, I'm still alive -barely-

Thanks! I plan not to change Yuri a lot except making his head smaller and let's his eyes more closer? I think they are a bit too far apart.

Remade sprites look a lot, lot better. It's nice to watch you progress this much in a short time

Wow, those new sprites look much better. Glad to see the improvments. And, of course, Im gladly waiting to hear any news on this game (You also get the prize for being one of the small few of GxB game that actually interet me)

Though a quick question: is the gane more story driven or character driven?

_________________

MESI Games/Personal Twitter/Death Rule: lost code Demo

No, no, this isn't a pure GXB. It's more mystery-heavy. XD
I tend to make it more character driven, since I don't want them to be OOC just for the sake of the story D:


.... In other words. If one character is already insane, there will be nothing that can stop his insanity. Nothing. Even romantic love. Well, maybe a slap from a family member. Or death.
