I'm agree with ravenlord. I made an account here on KS forum just to say thank you to the developer's team. I was just lurking in this forum before, and after i've downloaded and played this game, somehow i should show my appreciation towards the Four Leaves Studio.ravenlord wrote:I am glad I found this site and this thread. I suspect this game is a once in a lifetime experience for me: No movie, book or game has touched me like this before, and KS has set the bar so high I doubt there will be anything else "fiction-wise" that can match it.
I made an account just to say "Thank You". I recently finished my first (and probably only) game arc. I am experiencing this strange mix of extreme joy and depression, and it has been powerful enough to kick me out of my rut and to get back into stuff outside of work and school.
I ended up with Hanako and got a very good ending. It happened because the message of the game hit me like a truck -- I needed to fix myself before I can go out helping other people. Following that advice got me a wonderful reward ingame -- and it gave me the motivation to follow through with it IRL.
I only know a little bit about who the makers of the game are, but I hope that your karma goes over 9000 because I think you are changing a lot of people's lives. Mine for sure. Posting a "thank you" at a forum seems insufficient payment, but I offer it with all of my gratitude.
Just for the record, Hanako does state after the fact that she purposefully engineered that situation in order to get closer to Hisao, and both of them acknowledge that this was the wrong thing to do. Though I can understand how you'd still get that feeling.acewing905 wrote:I did have one problem, though. Hanako spoilers:The sex scene with Hanako felt like it was forced, like Hisao was taking advantage of her, somehow. I'm actually very much an equalist who considers that blame for such situations usually should be on both parties, but this is one occasion where I felt that it was mostly Hisao doing what felt like forcing.
Thanks. Hoping to enjoy all five arcs at least once each.Mysterious Stranger wrote:Just for the record, Hanako does state after the fact that she purposefully engineered that situation in order to get closer to Hisao, and both of them acknowledge that this was the wrong thing to do.

In any case, best of luck with Lilly's arc.
aw c'mon, don't leave us hangin'. which route was it? please don't say rin.CBK wrote:The topic title says it all. I found out about this through Kotaku and I was admittedly skeptical. This is my very first, probably last (unless you guys have another project!), visual novel and I for one can not possibly imagine a better one. I was never big into them because they always seemed like the games always focused on the "visual" and forgot about the "novel" part. Maybe its the fact that the story branch I played hit a very personal note for me, or maybe it was the fantastic writing, probably both, but I have never before been so enraptured by a story like the one I've just experienced. The things I've taken away from the end of this game and Hisao's journey through it will probably something I will be thinking about for days to come, maybe even something that will help push me to improve myself on a personal level as a human being.
I am so attached to the story branch that I saw that im not even sure I have the fortitude to go back to see the others!
Thank you so much for making this game and sharing it with us all. I can see from the topics on this board that it was an extremely touching experience for more people than me.
