Welp, that was a huge waste of time! I honestly didn’t expect much from this game, but it still managed to disappoint me, which is quite an achievement in itself… The whole story takes place in the same house with only a few rooms, and, as the title suggests, you’re in a time loop the whole time, which means doing the same things over and over again, and, if you’re lucky, after lots of trial and error you can move the plot forward a bit… only to die again and start over. The four characters are pretty bland, your generic anime archetypes, and the gameplay is basically a mixture of visual novel and pixel-art sequences, with some occasional, animated CGs, containing at least one panty shot. Because, yeah, you need those, no matter what, even if red blood is not OK, so they colored it pink like in the Danganronpa series (I should have played the PC version, I guess, if I’m not mistaken, you have the option to change the blood color to red there). The whole thing is really short, and let me tell you, there’s absolutely no logic behind why and when some events happen. Sometimes you have to keep looking at random objects just to get a dialogue, the killer stops chasing you if they find a fluffy toy on the ground, you can walk around the house in almost complete safety until you start examining things… Meh. Go and watch Happy Death Day if you want something similar, you’ll have much more fun with that.

It has an interesting premise, but the game takes a bit to figure out on how to progress properly. Once you figure it out, it's a pretty fast game and easy to finish.

I love the art and has great voice acting, but the game's story is just a bit short for the mystery and the ending is a little lackluster, but the only way for a "happy" ending. Wait for a sale.

Also, the game has a gratuitous amount of panty shots if you're worried about maturity of the game, that's about it (and pink Danganronpa blood). Not a big deal.

Not a great game and would not recommend. Mediocre story, mediocre characters, mediocre gameplay. Some good ideas, but bad execution.

The gameplay consists of you playing as Noa, and you investigate Nemu's house as she tries to find and kill you, solving puzzles and setting traps for her to delay her approach.

It's actually a really fun idea for gameplay, and I found myself enjoying it quite a bit! I love the idea of slowly finding out what items to grab and how to prioritize your actions (as each action you take puts you one step closer to Nemu doing a "chase").

The logic behind solving some of the puzzles in this game, though, is sometimes absolutely impossible. There's a part I was stuck on for a long time because I jumped to a point that was given to me and I couldn't get the next hint because I was supposed to go back and get an item I was SUPPOSED to already have, but didn't because "jumping" resets all of your items. Also the fact that you have to enter some of the rooms multiple times to get dialogue that tells you what you need to do, sometimes even having to exit and re-enter a room for something in the room to CHANGE so you can progress. Shoutout to the study for that one.

When you die, sometimes you will need to jump back to figure out what you did wrong and sometimes you'll need to progress through the beginning of the game again and it can be hard to know when. Especially when the dialogue of the beginning is all the same and there's no "skip read text" which should be standard for visual novels nowadays. The controls are wonky (z, x, c, v) and take a bit to get used to. Lastly, the story is hilariously bad.

It was really funny to play on stream with friends and laugh at, though. So that's something.

TL;DR yuri home alone
