I love the story so far and the interactive stuff to pick and choose : I Hope you don't mind me making a video

what an amazing incredible  game !! (and id pay for a dlc for yk what)

OMGOSHHH i was not expecting this to be so peak!??? im mad at the itchio gods for not putting this on my front reccommended page and instead i had to find it under the {yandere} tag ... i was GAGGED by the quality of this game like ... i thought this was js gonna be sum visual novel but POINT AND CLICK , MULTIPLE CGS MULTIPLE ENDINGS OMGOSHHH and the art is amazing aswell as the writing. im so impressed aaggghh i love xor sm i really want to see more of him!! plspls make dlc and my life WILL BE YOURSSS !!!! i dont usually like games or movies with a space theme but this game was perfect 10/10 

prisoner of survival (disqualified too) has a kill count for sure what a devastating ending . 

excited for Last One Standing Academy!!! i know i'll be in store to witness greatness if it'll be made by the same creator :DDDD 

I am seated

I loved Bride Auction, so was soooo excited to play this!! And it didn't disappoint, I would liken the experience to an appetizer, something to whet my appetite for the main course. I enjoyed the premise (my analysis below) and I enjoyed the FL's dynamic with Xor. I didn't have the heart in me to betray him, so I ended up getting Prisoner quite a few times lol >u< As before, I really enjoy the art style and character design. 

Spoilers below

I found Xor to be so adorable, cute sweet and incredibly creepy in equal measures. I am not a big fan of the my-boyfriend-is-an-axe-killer-and-I-secretly-find-that-hot genre lol. Still, I do enjoy nuanced takes/spins on the genre, and I enjoyed Xor and Nova's dynamic in that way. He might be capable of doing terrible things in the name of love. It definitely did take some pressure for the mask to slip and his "true" yandere-esque face to come out. But I liked he wasn't as yandere in the classic sense, if that makes sense.  I also really loved his name--XOR--the exclusive OR lol. Kind of like the dilemma they're in. I hope that was an intentional programming joke heehee

I enjoyed the setting a lot as well. The setting as I understand it is that humanity suffered some kind of cataclysm, and the survivors are in space, headed towards a pseudo-Earth to rebuild. 

My own hypothesis is that this is actually a lie to give the survivors "hope" or something to strive towards, some purpose as they drift in space. I got the vibes that while humanity may have come to end, there is no planet they are headed towards, and this is why they must so aggressively cull those who are not survival minded.  In this specific setting, I suppose the method they use to remove students from the ship--an exam--serves a dual purpose. Obviously ppl have to be removed from the ship. But why not prevent people from ever having children? That prevents the unpleasantness of having to kill settlers' children, which always runs the risk of offense and insubordination. Additionally, to prevent a bottleneck or founder effect, it would make more genetic sense to select who to remove from the ship based on genetic uniqueness. Because in the past, when a tiny group leaves a large population to start a new group, genetic diversity and fitness takes a huge hit, as the new group is small and is only random sampling of the original genes. This renders the new ppl at risk of being unable to adapt in a genetic sense. 

That's why I think there is no planet for these unfortunate people. Because if there was, there would be more of a pressure to retain genetic uniqueness and diversity. Instead, the exam selects for the most driven, ruthless people, who are willing to do anything to fulfill the win condition of "passing the exam". Once they pass the exam, the veil is removed, and the higher-ups will let these kids know, hey humanity is screwed. But because they have selected for the most ruthless, they will buy into the existing system and propagate it.

I can't wait to learn more about the setting in the full game!!! This was so much fun 

hellpp... im playing on the web version on google chrome and i can't get past the part where you name your MC...  refreshing did not help.. is there a button i'm not pressing??

WAIT omg congrats for 10k playyysssss!!! I forgot ot mention but I do think Xor's name really suits him in a way? I really thought that was an actual name originally and searched it up to be met with a XOR logic gate haha. Xor's such a yapster he talks sm like me sometimes 🥹 NO but i actually LOVE the art so much you're super good at itttt!!! And also, a question, if mc wasn't mc, what would be her name? How do you choose names?

Actually last time I was trying to be as mean to Xor as possible and see what happened but I couldn't :( so thats what Im gonna try this time..!!

sorry if im commenting or asking questions too much, i do enjoy 'talking' a lot when it comes to these :))

I loved, loved, LOVEEDDDDD the game ₍₍⚞(˶ˆᗜˆ˵)⚟⁾⁾ seriously, I'm so impressed by the quality, and the fact you made it all by yourself!!!! You're truly talented ♡ The art and the writing were just *chef's kiss* in every way. This was so good I'm definitely getting LOSA when it comes out (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭

I love both Xor and Nova with all my heart (╥ ᴗ ╥) they deserve the world, my sweet summer children (っ˶ ˘ ᵕ˘)ˆᵕ ˆ˶ς)

Other than to praise your exceptional game making skills, I also wanted to offer something (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) I would gladly translate the game to Spanish (my native language hehe), for free ofc, if you ever wanted to expand the languages the game was available in. It would be no trouble, and honestly an honor for me, since I really liked the game ( ˶˘ ³˘)♡

Thank you so much for sharing your vision with us!!! I will be looking forward to the next game. Make sure to always take care of yourself tho (˶ᵔᗜᵔ˶)ﾉﾞ*sends kisses your way*

I made a steam account purely to comment on this game, omg it's the absolute best!!! xor is such a sweetie, yet despite my insanely optimistic view it still managed to be unsettling and concerning just how much he knew and the situation as a whole. I had multiple moments of absolute shock as the puzzle pieces finally clicked together as to what he is able to do with the tablets (or, at least what I assume he can do).  regardless of his supposed wrongdoings, xor is written so well and his sprites are so charming I adore him regardless. currently suffering because I refuse to play any other route because I don't want to make him sad, but also, I would love to know what happens and get more lore. absolutely amazing game and can't wait for more from the devs!!!

OMG I had so much fun with this game, it's been a minute since I played all the games ending in a visual novel! I had sooooooo much fun I can't wait to play the game on steam! 

I'll be waiting...😋🔥

little scared tho I loved xor 🥲

Im so excited for the extra scenes. I played the game when it had come out just two days ago and I already loved it 🥹

Also how’s it going with LOSA? any future release dates?😋

XOR is a cutie pie ^q^ unfortunately, I’m weak against his whiny brand of manipulation… Great job! Leaps and bounds of improvement from <Bride Auction>

i love love loved this game so much !!! xor had such a unnerving yet intriguing dynamic with the mc, as i never felt like i could wholeheartedly trust him at any time throughout this game. the examination section was also soooo cool and nervewracking T__T i know so many people might complain that xor isn't a stereotypical "dark romance yandere" or whatever, but i feel like you truly did capture a yandere's essence -- someone so pathetic and willing to harm themselves and sabotage their life to keep their beloved with them. lots of love !!! ( ^ __ ^ ) ///

i just wanna say that i really loved it!! TuT Xor ahhh, i love the epilogue, im very happy with my first ending trapped together:,) i dont think i have the heart to do the 2nd ending, also im so excited reading that this is only the beginning! does that mean theres gonna be more content for Xor as a Li?? is there gonna be more LI aswell?? you have a great game so far! tyysm

I LOVE Xor! He's awkward, clingy, talented, smart, kind. He is very endearing, and I adore him! I will be looking forward to playing 'Last One Standing'!

Thank you so much to let me be a tester, it was so fun!, count with me on future :b anyway, congratulations!!

He wasn't really a yandere but was a good story. still though, what if she woke up in the middle of the night and

I absolutely adore every single aspect of this game!! I was immediately interested in the game's unique concept. It is so good, and I got so hooked!! I love the game's tension, music, writing, and art style. The music definitely enhanced my experience of the game and made the scenes more emotional or tense. Xor is such a cutie, and I absolutely LOVE how expressive he is. I love all the details put into this game, especially the scene after MC and Xor read the book about O and E, and Xor leaves, but turns around to look back at MC (Was that intentional or am I looking into things too deeply?)

On my first playthrough of the game, I got around half the endings without using a guide, and I thought that I was pretty content with leaving off there. I was thinking that I had read through basically all that the game had to offer, and I initially couldn't make myself betray Xor. I had another playthrough to unlock all the endings and view the results of almost every single choice, and I'm so glad that I did. I loved seeing how Xor reacted to different options, and I can't believe I almost skipped over Ending 2: The best Outcome. I knew Xor was unhinged, but I didn't expect him to be that crazy. My heart was literally racing when I was reading his monologue.

That's enough of my rambling. Thank you so much for making such an amazing game!! <33 This game is definitely one of my favorite visual novels. 

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!is the academy one going to be free??👀I love your art work this has truly gave me happiness >w<

TS IS SO PEAK TWIN I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT I MEAN EVERYTHING I LOVED THE CHARACTERS THE DIALOG AND THE STORY LINE LIKE MWAH CHEF KISSES

OMG THIS IS SO FRICKIN' GOOD!!! EVERYONE THIS IS IT! THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR! CRAVING FOR! AND LIVING FOR! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MAIN SERIES, i miss ma boy already. I LOVE U DEVS

I really enjoyed the game!! The music was really fitting as well.

My favorite endings are probably ending 5 (it was interesting to see his reaction) and ending 7 haha

I'm so endeared by Xor's name being a reference to the type of dilemma they're in! It's almost literally a XOR logic gate! :D I'm so excited to see the game with the rest of the cast.

I always love the concept of the Prisoners' Dilemma and seeing it in a sci-fi, Danganronpa-esque situation was so fun to indulge in. I haven't found all endings yet, but I just wanted to how cool this world you made and these characters/designs. Xor is so delightfully unhinged (every single expression had me dying) being played against the solemn Nova, chef kisses all around. 

Definitely wishlisting the main game <3

loved this sooo much! having trouble getting ending 7, but got all others so far :)

The game is amazing and concept and art are sooooo stunning! Can’t wait to see more from you!

this game is AMAZING!! ive never played such a great vn that made me so emotional about the characters TT you did such a amazing art and story and im soooo exicted to check out your other works and hopefully get the other endings too bc i only managed to get 1st, 3rd and 4th ending T

oh my GOSH you don't know how badly my heart hurt when I passed the test and saw Xor's face TxT..... you've really done well making him loveable for sure!! Ahhh so now I've got ENDING 4: Prisoner of Survival! 1 and 4 out of 7! I've been having so much funn, I'll comment again when I get another one! Waiit I almost forgot! I got ENDING 5: Disqualified too! so it's 1, 4 and 5 out of 7! :)))
