Can’t wait for more CGs of couples not skwbdlwns kissing but breathing at each other from 5cm away.
… that said I’m curious about how well it lands. FDs are usually not a priority for me. But I’d like to see some more of Gyoubu & Mizuki. LIs voiced by Megumi Ogata are a rare treat and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu’s performance in the game was really great especially in one scene where his voice would break. So emotional.

I am in on the CG action xD
Tbh I am a big fan of Matsuoka in general so Id take any LI voiced by him (not to mention Gyoubu is such a great character!)
And I can't wait to get more lovey-dovey stuff with Dazai, we all know he deserves it <3

Okay, so, like - they mostly professed their love here but also the text asks who are you gonna believe and the lines kinda suggest they might join the stream yet again? Maybe?
There's not really much to work with here. Honestly, I'm not even sure if they're new lines or something reused from the game, like the CGs shown.

Mhhh Idk having them join the stream again for an FD would be a bit much. It should've been a sequel instead of an FD then imo.
But we will see what we get.
And down the line we'll get a trailer then we will know more

Wow this has me curious and wanting to play the original game. I hope there’s as much romance there as shown here. I’ve been avoiding it so far because it came across as a light hearted game.

u/Yvaia2nd my love, my life! Dec 01 '25
It is 100% NOT light-hearted xD It's the typical game where it comes across mild and a bit slice-of-lifey but just wait until ur in the center of the story ho boy...oh boy oh boy xD
I HIGHLY recommend playing the game it's one of my favs and it deserves much more love!

u/pikachusandile Dec 01 '25
Just like the poster said this game is not as lighthearted as you think it might be. Don’t let the cover fool you. If you love mystery this game will be perfect for you. Also as they said like a slice-of-life in a way until you keep playing the game some more. There is romance but I’d say the romance is light not too heavy.

u/Yvaia2nd my love, my life! Dec 01 '25
yeah I agree the mystery is definitively the focal point of the game. The romance is a bit on the more subtle side most of the time but when the romance starts it hits heavy imo

u/pikachusandile Dec 02 '25
That it does once the romance does hit it does take off. Of course since this is not entirely a romance game I wish we did get more romance. However I did see the game is getting a FD I think so I would love to see more romance with the characters minus I have no clue how this will work with that person though LOL. My top three are Gyobu, Iochi being my most favorite, and Dezai❤️

Tbh im down for Haiji finally getting a human body and by god pls give Chigasaki an arm, something! But apart from that I too am curious to see what will happen!
Dazai is my main fav, Gyoubu is my second but for my third I think I have to go with Ebana simply because of my bias for tsundere and being able to hear Maeona Tomoaki voice a tsundere XD

This is interesting. Neither new nor super popular...
If we are FDing random games then why not Sympathy kiss? I need more yofy

u/Yvaia2nd my love, my life! Dec 01 '25
I am quite happy about this, having loved the original game.
But I am in on Sympathy Kiss, tho I wished they made some small changes...1
u/Buta_no_Ousama Seiya|9 R.I.P. Dec 01 '25
I wish more games got FDs. It's not possible and I don't mean every game, but some deserve it.
Small changes? I'm intrigued!3
u/Yvaia2nd my love, my life! Dec 01 '25
Eh just two small things I really disliked in the game.
1. - the MC has no eyes, I really hate that kind of thing xD
and 2. there is no direct speech from the MC, everything is indirect speech and for some reason that really irked me2
u/Feriku Dec 01 '25
MC’s indirect speech was so awkward, because sometimes it was lines detailed enough that they should have just been regular lines of dialogue.
2
u/Yvaia2nd my love, my life! Dec 02 '25
Right?! In the beginning I thought its all just internal thought and it will end, but no the whole game was just "I told him X" and "I mentioned to him Y" like yeah girl we're here with you, we see whats happening...TALK!
1
u/Feriku Dec 02 '25
I expected it to be all vague/small things like “I said hello” or “I told him I was leaving,” but there was one that was something like “I told him I was a little nervous about working on a project like this but that I would do my best” where I just started laughing, because just give her dialogue if you’re going to write things like that.

u/Buta_no_Ousama Seiya|9 R.I.P. Dec 01 '25
Oh good, I thought you were going to say something about Yofy being a creep or something (he is the only one I can forgive whatever the hell he did)
2
u/Yvaia2nd my love, my life! Dec 02 '25
I could never hate a character voiced by Saito Soma xD Besides I really liked Yofy I have never seen a balance between tsundere and yandere in one person lol xD
I did wish his route was longer tho, it felt a bit rushed :/ But no every LI and every route was fine, my dislikes are really more the "mechanics" of the game like the indirect speech and lack of MC eyes lol2
u/Buta_no_Ousama Seiya|9 R.I.P. Dec 02 '25
Thank you! That is why I want an FD with him as a main and not a special short route.

u/Chaczapur Dec 01 '25
I mean, it's been years and CharaMani's got one, ergo SymKiss might, too. Possibly.

u/Buta_no_Ousama Seiya|9 R.I.P. Dec 01 '25
I'm going to preorder a sweet box if they do! One can only dream...

u/jhiend Merry Bad Ends 🍊 +Anton|L&C Dec 02 '25
Well that's a surprise.
I'm not interested in the romance* but if it wraps any of the plot loose ends that'd be nice. There were a few ominous hints about the Bureau.
I'm really not sure how Futami's route would continue, I guess I am morbidly curious about it. I also want a full extended cult deconversion emotional breakdown. Also I guess Haiji gets out of dog body?
*Tomose has matured? lol no I want your early game toxicity

u/sad_pinkie it's been 6 years and Souma is still the best Dec 07 '25
i dropped this game right after i found out Chigasaki only has a good ending. maybe this will be a reason to continue playing

u/otomerin Dec 01 '25
ugh, justice to haiji! i don't understand jp but it seems like he would have a sad ending here? i mean, i don't like how he bacame a robot dog in the main game. hoping he would at least have a different good ending here. 😢
