This is sooo good, I was really pleasently surprised at how much I enjoyed it so far! I love the Persona series and I'm so happy to have found this gem, please keep up the great work!
even though the game isn't finished, this was a fun read and I'm looking forward to more! i love how the mc is gender neutral as well and how you can have different personalities.
It looks very cool ! I'm waiting the game to be finished to play it but i would love to romance Ren (a secret dream lol). It would be cool if a romance with Mishima is created too ! The persona games must have a gender selecting at the beginning of the game really !
Sure, that's definitely ok too, each to their own! I think it will take quite a bit of time for the full game to be released though, so hopefully that sets the expectation you have in mind :)
Regarding adding a Mishima route, I will only consider it if a writer-slash-coder comes up to volunteer to write for him. As of now I have my hands full with writing for two routes and scripting for 80% of the routes, on top of other enhancements to the game, sooo yeah haha
This was amazing! Oh my gosh you're so talented. I loved the different types of personalities of the MC. I especially liked her awkward one because of social anxiety so that's so relatable :')
Your writing skills are so good! I'm super excited for any future content by you <3
omg you're too kind! I'm glad you liked the different personalities of the MC and that you can relate to the Moon arcana MC! I relate to them so much too...
Thank you for enjoying the game! I hope you'll be following the progress of this small project ❤️
I just finished playing the new demo version and oh my god I'm even more in love with this game now.
My random gushy thoughts (if you wanna hear them 😅):
Ren (Moon): Adorable! I wanted to stay and chat with him at the cafe forever, made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Goro (Moon): 🤯 I have an obsession with dark romances 👀 So... yeah, moon Goro got my attention for sure. It was so thrilling and I’m beyond excited to see where this is going (I do feel so bad for poor MC, who only wanted to calm down from anxiety and ended up in that situation. As revenge, MC must make Goro fall in love ;) ).
Ryuji (Moon): I wish someone like Ryuji would have randomly come talk to me too while I was being all lonely at school back in the day lol.
MC (Moon): As relatable as ever :’) I love this MC.
Ren (Sun): I love romances that start with letter exchanges! The letters/handwriting is so pretty. I’m so excited to see where this is headed!
Goro (Sun): The contrast from the Moon route… 👀
MC (sun): I really like this type of MC, and I wish I was more brave and charismatic like that.
Sorry this turned out so long!
By the way, I hope it's okay but I posted about this game in the otome community on reddit. This game you're creating deserves all the love and recognition <3
I ALWAYS want to hear from you guys who played the game! Thank you so much for spending some time to write such a lovely comment and omg so it was your doing! I suddenly saw a spike in the graph saying the page suddenly has over 600+ views and was like ‘wait what in the world happened’ lol
As revenge, MC must make Goro fall in love ;) —> hahaha yessss I agree! Man, I am so hyped to script in and share the bad end for this route aaa
Ryuji is the friend we all wish we had in school or uni or workplace ;w;
Goro’s duality is so much fun to write haha
Never apologise for long comments! I love reading people’s opinions. Sweet messages like these just makes my day. I love them ♡
Yeah, I don’t mind people sharing the link to the page! That’s so nice of you! I’m glad you enjoyed what the game has to offer so far enough to do that, thank you ♡♡♡
Yeah, I didn't expect that either 😂 The post suddenly got 200 likes (and counting) and people are commenting about how excited they are to play your game. So yeah, don't be alarmed lol.
Don't mind me I'm just here rereading this comment for like the 20th time because it's making me so happy
Aaaaa I'm so glad you liked the idea of the arcana changing the MC's personality!! It was my excuse to write more for Akira and Goro but yall don't need to know about that eheh Honestly writing Sun MC is really fun and painful at the same time for me because I have to switch my mind and put myself on the shoes of someone with a completely different personality, BUT overall I've been having a blast doing the writing!
sldkfjsldfj oh man, I wish I could actually work for game companies someday ;w; I'm so happy you seemed to enjoy the VN!! I've been a little insecure with my writing these days but this was very encouraging to read ♡ Many thanks for trying out the game and spending time to drop this lovely comment ♡♡♡
Also, never apologize for writing longer comments! I'm pretty sure no creators dislike those types of comments, and I always love reading about other people's thoughts and opinions! Again, thank you so much ♡
I want to let you know first that what you're doing right now is literally as if Akira (aka you) is dishing out plates after plates of wonderfully delicious Leblanc curry and Yusuke (aka me) is just sitting here gulping them down ravenously after starving for months sldkfjlsd
Seriously, thank you for feeding me... This was such a joy to read!!
Ohhh well well well, you're gonna love the third arcana I'm planning to put in then heheheh ... Huh? What? No, no, I didn't say anything! Aaaaanyway! I'm glad the Sun MC is not too overbearing! Mostly I'm taking reference from my upbeat and social butterfly type of friends, and I was worried that it would turn out awkward. But I'm glad it's not! Hopefully I'll be able to maintain that throughout the Sun routes! I'm intent to SPOIL my bby Goro don'tchu worry about that mwahahah
Ahhh that's so kind of you to say. There's not that many jobs in the market for that, so competition's pretty tough, but fingers crossed! :)
I really appreciate the gesture!! I like story branchings (even the smallest dialogue changes caused by the previous decisions), and it makes me happy when people try to explore those options!
Glad the music so far fits the scene! I try my best to pick the best sounds and background music that matches the current situation, but I'll probably fail to do it here and there. Still, it's a learning process!
Sojiro is such a fun character in the original game and I really enjoyed interacting with him! Hence his cameo in here lol Haha that line feels so fitting for him, doesn't it? Goro's partner in crime, huh? You'll love the Moon arcana route I have planned for him *wink wink*
Goro is such a fun and complicated character to write. I don't think I'll ever do him justice the way the original writers do, but I'll try my best because HE IS BEST BOY HE DESERVES LOVE ;w; Tbh I didn't really watch the anime fully and the most I did was seeing the clips for both the subbed / dubbed versions. So mainly I'm going with my own interpretation of what kind of character Akira is based on all the canon sources I know of. It's good that he's not out of character so far! I'll say, his Moon route is kind of a slow burn and will be filled with 'aww' moments hahah
Really really glad to know the writing isn't putting people off! I'm originally used to writing fics, but putting them into a visual novel style has been a transition I'm still trying to figure out at times. Scripting all those dialogues has been so much fun so far though!
Again, thanks so so much for the lovely comments! These means a lot to me, I'll treasure it forever and re-read them whenever I feel stuck ♡ You're a legend!! ♡♡♡
Hey hey, no problem! I’m just glad you’re still around and seemed to enjoy the update aaaah you’re just too kind ♡
I get you man, conversations are tough, especially when talking to strangers. On my bad days, I find it hard to even talk to friends. "What are words?" "How do you speak without constantly backtracking and keeping your voice steady?" "I have suddenly forgotten how to construct sentences." It’s just weird lol
Yup yup, games with diverse selection of choices and great story branching based on player’s choices are really fun to play! It’s probably the reason why P5, Undertale, and DBH are really up on my 'most loved games' list haha
Hehe so happy you noticed the sounds and animations! Those were a pain to gather and code in, but I’m so happy with how they turned out ♡
lol oops you stumbled onto the bad end huh? I feel like the Goro before meeting the original protagonist is a literal ticking time bomb. He’s dealing with all his inner demons alone after all. Hopefully meeting the MC will help him :)
Yeappp! I actually considered putting in another option for ‘Akiren’ for those who can’t choose… We’ll see how it goes! I’ve always thought that his handwriting would be elegant cursives somehow, maybe it’s the whole phantom thief thing haha
I laughed outloud too when that knife option came up the first time I tested the script hahah (the route is written by another writer) That scene was just so unexpected but I can imagine Ryuji doing weird stuff like that just to prove he’s harmless… What a cutie.
Again, thank you so much for dropping by! So happy that you enjoyed the update ♡
Haha me too! Writing the Moon arcana MC comes so naturally to me cause I overthink a lot and I'm super awkwardly irl... I'm glad people can relate to them!
Hi! I'm Flare from Fantome Traducciones. Maybe you can remember us from the spanish patch of "Watashi no Hero". I just wan't you to know that you count with all my support and love! Persona 5 is one of my favorites videogames and just thinking about you making a visual novel of this... it's so exciting! I'll be waiting for all the development and I hope you can enjoy this proyect <3
Thanks for dropping by and writing this lovely comment. You have no idea how much it means to me. Work has been sucky since Monday and I needed the dopamine boost ♡
As a translator, sometimes my work is really heavy and I know that just one comment can give you all the energy you need. I'll write comments from time to time, remember to take a break and find the passion in this! I love your work, you're the best <3
This game was different. I like the art style and how the story is developing so far. I don’t know anything about Persona 5 but it’s still a neat game.
Ok, ok, ok. So... I am too excited to explain this without sounding like an idiot. This game was AMAZING!! Not only was the editing and animation parts so accurate to the actual game but I literally fell in love with this whole visual novel. It-- It just has so much potential! Both the routes was a delight to check out and the script was wonderful! Some parts even had me laughing!
I really do hope that you continue this project and heck-- I might even offer my help just so I can get the chance to see the VN's full potential! (I may not be amazing at story telling but would still offer my help--) :D Thank you so much for blessing us with the chance to have this wonderful game as a VN and I'm looking forward with seeing the progress that hopefully will be made!
Eeee thank you for playing and writing this lovely comment! I'm really glad you seemed to enjoy the game! ♡
Hey, if you want, you could apply as a writer! I'm honestly only interested to write for Akira and Akechi, but there's always the other characters or the other arcana for Akira (Sun) and Akechi (Moon, but I'm ok if someone wants to take the Sun Route because I think I write better for introverted characters lol)
I just finas one part of Akechi and I love this so far can't wait for more things or a full version
❤️
(Oh one more thing when you go on Akechi his route the girls you bump into say "She" but when you are with Akechi and he pays for youe coffee and curry he say "Their" and I know at the top of this page it say gender neutral but I just wanted to point it out)
(Gasp thank you for catching that slip-up!!! I'm too used to write for female MCs so I really appreciate you letting me know about that mistake! I'll update the files soon to fix that part ♡ ♡ ♡)
Yeahhh sorry about that, but it had to be done. I don't work well with series which I have lost interest in.
It was still a valuable experience for me though! I've definitely learned a lot of things from the few months I worked on the demo and the full game itself.
Okay, so...I'll try to stay calm, but here it goes: THIS'S SO GOOD!
Persona 5 is one of my favorite games. I literally didn't expected this VN to be so damn good and well done! And so loyal to the original game!!
Even the tiny little details (the confirm sound, THE LOADING ICON! The moving sprites! the font! THE TEXTBOX!)
As a dev who is still learning... I'm screaming :'D
I wish I could help with the writing, but english unfortunately is not my first language and I'm not really confident. Even so, I wish the best for the project!!!
I'm really excited to see more of it! (OBS; Thank you...I can finally date the boys...thank you...)

Thank u so much for this omg its so good so far!

This game is pretty enjoyable! The writing's great, and I really appreciate both personalities. I'm super excited to see where you take this project!
Thanks! I hope we'll be able to meet your expectations for the future releases haha
even though the game isn't finished, this was a fun read and I'm looking forward to more! i love how the mc is gender neutral as well and how you can have different personalities.
btw! i really love the sun personality! i get happy at their energy :)
I'm so happy to know you enjoyed the game, and especially the Sun routes! The different personalities of the MC makes the scripts so fun to read 😆
It looks very cool ! I'm waiting the game to be finished to play it but i would love to romance Ren (a secret dream lol). It would be cool if a romance with Mishima is created too ! The persona games must have a gender selecting at the beginning of the game really !

Aww thank you! Glad it was to your liking! Hope to see you around on future updates ❤️

I relate so much to the Moon arcana MC
Ahhh thank you! 🤍

I really like it. I also love your other game. Thanks for bringing us these games 💖✨
Thank YOU for checking out my games ♡
This game was different. I like the art style and how the story is developing so far. I don’t know anything about Persona 5 but it’s still a neat game.
Thank you for playing and making the effort to create this video! ♡♡♡
This is really well made, it does indeed feel like the actual game. I do hope to see more of this project in the future.
Sidenote: I hope you do not burn yourself while working on it.
Thank you dear! ♡
PS. Yeah, I hope so too, and that's why I'm taking it easy and I'm asking for other people's help this time!

You're welcome btw it said i unlocked a secret or somethong with Akira and Akechi but i donno what it is
Ah, that's the hint for the 'Secret Route' that's in the works haha
I see nice btw to sad the MHA full version was canceled
Yeahhh sorry about that, but it had to be done. I don't work well with series which I have lost interest in.
It was still a valuable experience for me though! I've definitely learned a lot of things from the few months I worked on the demo and the full game itself.
