Sorry, fellow Canadian, but if there was a rating system I'd give this zero stars. Frankly, I found it repulsive. The characters weren't even good-looking—I mean, wtf?—the story line neither interesting nor believable or enjoyable, let alone anywhere near the kind of VN the description led me to believe. But I slogged on until I got to the part where things turned ugly. Wherever your head is at, mine sure as hell ain't there. It seems to me you need therapy if this is your kind of thing.
Sorry, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents' worth.
As a writer I really appreciate the time that went into the script. The story is marvelously woven together. I do not know much about animating or coding, but I think you did a great job. As a lesbian with ptsd from trauma, it was very disturbing and I couldn't finish it. It really negative affect for me. I wish the summary would have been a little more forthcoming with the darkness in the story. I will still follow your work, because it is good. Hopefully you'll have more works that have a brighter story. (no disrespect intended)
I thought it was just gonna be a simple nsfw visual novel with a few choices here and there, but I felt like I was watching a movie, and the ending, oh my god.
I'm a lesbian who's having a bit of trouble talking to people and I don't have many friends, so I relate to Clementine so much, and I didn't expect to, and the whole trauma part to both characters I could relate to.
The game is also surprisingly well made for a free browser uploaded game. The skin doesn't clip much, animations are really smooth and nice, body parts don't clip that much at all and its really just astonishing that a free visual novel is this good, way better than something like Doki Doki Literature club, for sure!
I just finished this. I have experienced dozens (MANY dozens) of visual novels and NONE of them affected me the way this one did. You created very real characters, not perfect but perfectly flawed and I connected with them in a way no other VN has made me.
Not knowing anything about how long it was, or what the outcome was, I was actually filled with anxiety every time they went a little further. I was actually worried about how it might end up. That is an amazing thing to feel playing any game.
Thank you for the time you put into it, thank you for finishing it (although like others have said, I would love to see more of course!), and thank you for really showing what the format can allow for.
This is now my favorite VN and I am going to recommend it to anyone who might be interested in something like this.
This story hit me so hard , i love it . The hole story was so relateble and great written, i was laughing, touched , scared and in the end i was so sad, that is was over .
Reale great work and Thank you for this fantastic Game <3
Holy fuck, this is crazy good. I'm more for cute hard stories ala Scrub Diving but this fucking nails what it's reaching for. The art style is grade A, a few oddities in the ankles but otherwise spectacular (and even then it's barely noticeable as you get used to the style), it's a great mix of realism and caricature, all the characters are sexy and good looking. One note that really sells them feeling more real is that they actually change clothing, seemingly such a small thing but it adds so much even so since so few games (at least that I play) have characters change clothes. The audio was... jarring? It was strange to have menu music but nothing in the way of audio period during the actual vn; that's no minus, just odd. The characters are so well written, I relate so hard to Clem, being an SM degen lesbian (not so much on the penetration thing but still), and Shizue feels like such a real character with her conflictions and feelings through and through. The two of them are adorable together and while I want to see more safe SM with these two, the ending is really well placed; it could do with a tad more graduality or epilogue sorta thing but still magnificent. I have to admit that I had a horrified look on my face when that one crucial near-end scene happened but it's such a good moment and I love its conclusion (even if it was scary in the moment). Only gripe (a minor one but still) is the random het scene with Vanessa; it's not bad I don't think, honestly I rapidly clicked through it because... I just don't like that stuff, it adds to her character but she's hardly utilized later on, just forgotten.
All in all absolutely amazing and one I really like; if more lesbian SM stuff is made by this author, I'll definitely read it! And even if the author goes on to het or elsewise, this quality is great and will shine no matter the subject matter. Serious recommendation from me! I'm putting this one on my favourites list for sure. Thank you Gaerax for making this amazing experience! Here's to your work in the future! Cheers!
So, these are my 5 cents on the final version of the game. I have bitter sweet feelings about this game...
The sweet part. SayItAgain is one of my two favorite VN adult games ever. Graphically I like the characters, very well embraced in the environment, with well made body and facial expressions... a very good job in creating something different and original.
Also the story. You created a very good background for each character, that justifies the way they behave and interact with each other, engaging in behaviours of discovery, and you did it very well. You managed to take the player in a journey on a very well acomplished way, where one can give total attention to the story without loosing on endless options or branches... congratulations for that.
And now the bitter part. These 4 chapters feel like the perfect prologue. You created an amazing story for this girls, and now that bounderies and feelings are set and ready for this relation to expand and create a magnificent story... you end it.
I can only imagine the work you had in creating this VN, really.... my congrats to you for it, but now that you created the base for a great novel, you decide to end it. I could only ask for you to consider not to end it now, and if you want I can give you my thoughts on ideas to continue this amazing VN.
I really love the game, I don't care much about character design but the story is making me happy and smile at the same time. This is so good, please keep doing it.
I haven't yet tried the game, but judging by the screenshots, I will say that the 3D character models look slightly strange. I'm not an artist, so I can only say that looking at the screenshots they don't look quite right to me.
