Rei (GxB) (supernatural high school romance)

[Kyuun]

-dies- I got Blank as the first ending, Fate, and then Blank again. I'm trying to get Memories because I'm SUPER curious about it but urghhh. Thanks for making this though, it's a really cute game. BUT URGH I AM FRUSTRATED. -dies again-

StarryCub:

Yeah, I was a little concerned about the high school ghost being an unoriginal concept, but then I thought - but, wait! What about ghosts and time travel? :P And I don't even know if I could write something that didn't at least have a possible happy ending.

Akuni:

Thanks so much! :) I'm glad the lack of music didn't detract from the atmosphere for you. Phew!

Sekai sora:

Aww, thank you! :D

Kyuun:

Oh dear. :P Well, if you're still interested in getting the other endings, you can always read this guide. It's no fun if you have to keep playing to the point of frustration. :(

[vyushko]

Could someone give me a walkthrough? I played it and I keep getting the ending Blank. I am soo sad I could cry ;(

[yanni]

loved it best game ever and I ' ve play tcast best ever.keep making more im waiting for ur work

[Torcchan]

Would you please send me the archive.rpa file? =="
When I extract the folder, that archive.rpa file was said to be corrupt...
..And when I try to run the game, it starts with an error, without even showing the title screen =="
It seems that the 'absence' of this archive.rpa file is the error source?

Anyway, this is the traceback of the first error..
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

....And so..yah...would you mind to..send me the archive.rpa file? ..or rather, what should I do?
Btw, please forgive me for this extremely long post orz

[sonnet009]

vyushko:

Hey, don't cry! ;) I've put a link to the endings guide back up in the main post. Hope it helps!

yanni:

Why, thank you very much! :D

Torcchan:

Hey. :) I've PM'd you. Hope you got it.

[TheOneTwo]

I... I just played the game. And.. it was... SUPER DUPER AWESOMELY SWEET!

When I was playing the game, the first ending I got was Memory. I really loved that one! It's really jaw-dropping that Rei went back calling Aya's name. Woah! I thought he really did forget her! I was like.. "So sad, Rei forgot about her." Then.. *SPOOF* Rei went running and calling her. That's really really really sweet.

I got all the endings, and the saddest--for me, is the Exchange. Aya sacrificed herself for Rei's safety. And I think it's stupid. XD I mean, why would she take that boring life? Man...


PS: Taka's a huge effin jerk.

All in all, the game's fabulous. Congrats~

[KawaiiDream]

I just played the game..
and it made me cry ;A;
I barely got to know Rei, but.. it made me feel like I knew him my whole life (as Aya).
Gosh, I'll be looking forward to your future VNs. ;3;
This was the most touching VN I've ever played. ;-;

[Arowana]

This game is so cute and heartwarming - I think I melted into a little pile of goo at the 'Memory' ending. I don't even usually like tsundere characters, but Rei and his interactions with Aya were just too adorable. *_* I am also crazy impressed that you made this all by yourself in 3 days. (Seriously, you wrote 10k in less than 3 days? Please teach me your skills!)

My one nitpick was the long pauses during the extended SFX (the bells and running). I'm guessing that was to make sure the text matched the sounds, so maybe shorten the SFX in the future?

All in all, awesome job! I'm really looking forward to Aloners as well! xD

[sonnet009]

TheOneTwo:

Aww! :D

Haha! Yeah, right? Poor Aya. If I had to be a ghost, I would not want to haunt a school. At least let me get stuck in an arcade or a movie theatre or something!

KawaiiDream:

Thank you so much. :) I hoped it would be emotional for people.

Arowana:

Yeah, I find tsundere characters to be very hit-and-miss, myself. But I was hoping that Ghost!Rei being more mellow and friendly would help ease people through Alive!Rei's initial unfriendliness.

And, OMG, when I say this was done in three days, I mean this was my LIFE for those three days. All I did was write... and when I felt too drained to do that, I coded. Sometimes I ate and slept. But mostly it was the game. LOL Never again. And I agree - the SFX were obnoxious. In hindsight, I wish I'd spent more time making them less so. But at least I can take that lesson with me going forward with Aloners. :)

[ixWishing]

This was really cute c:
I kinda got confused in the Memory ending, but I figured it out afterwards lol
My only complaint is the pacing of the romance. Im not really fond of girls falling for guys in like a week or something :<
I like slow paced romances that build up, so it seems mor real, I guess lol.

But yeah, I would also like if there was some BGM haha

[try10]

I got all the endings and I loved it! I'm impressed that you managed to create such a nice game in a few days ( even if some of the materials were gathered). I had a great time playing. Thank you for making this.

[sonnet009]

ixWishing:

I know what you mean. I, myself, often feel like romances that develop in a short time can feel kind of hollow. I know people have different preferences, which is why I put the option in the game to still get the happiest ending without actually having Aya explicitly romantically interested in Rei. Like, you can steer it towards being love, or developing feelings, or just friendship. And, yeah, next game - I will definitely put some BGM in! heh.

try10:

Thank you for taking the time to play and give feedback! :)

[arfaofharmony]

That was Really Great! Thank you very much for such a game!

[silverpikachu99]

I LOVED THIS GAME! IT ALMOST MADE ME CRY T-T!! Great job!!!!!
