I just finished playing and dude, your story telling and characters are really freaking good. It made me want to go to collage fr. Can't wait for the new update. Try your best, we'll be here to support you.
In current ep1-4 you dont have any such point of choosing yet ^^ And in future updates, while not yet 100% so don't quote me on it, idea is to "lose" one by one girl by choices/denying them/relationship points throughout regular play. Maybe if you manage to have multiple even through all that I could make a screen where you choose. But yea, first option I mentioned is my way I'm aiming for.
You (atm at least) don't instantly lose routes. There are two choices (which are very clear in ep4) where game counts towards losing certain routes, but even those choices aren't instant route enders ^^. More like "do something like that again and it will probably end their route next time".
Ehhhhhhhhhhh I meaaaaan kiiiiinda? 😅 The "death flags" are easy to spot. As in "girl tries to kiss you and you say no" styles of flags. The other part, having enough relationship points is another topic, but so far I've been very generous with them and there isn't stuff that's locked behind "need 100% of all points" or anything similar. As long as you start focusing that girl more and more in later updates, you're fine.
Hey, I've just stepped into the world of creating VN's, and I was wondering what art applications everyone uses in order to create the art for the games(BG, characters, etc)? Currently using Ren'Py to create the VN's, as I've good heard things about it.
There are some different options in terms of rendering. Fates Collide uses honey select 2 / studio neo while other games can use honey select (1), daz, koikatsu or sometimes other applications. I would reccomend looking into different ones and seeing what you like more as well as what can run well on your pc. Good luck on your creation!
Take as much time as you need to make the new update, I genuinely love the game so far and I'm excited to see the rest, but that also means I care about you the creator, there's no way you can produce a game that fits you or our standards if you don't take care of yourself Even if you decided to take 6 more months I would still be waiting, just like I have been waiting for Silksong for an eternity already Take care, keep up the good work, wish you the best
I just downloaded the game and when the I start a new game, it crashes. I don't know why, I play few similar games that I downloaded here in itch.io so I don't know why this one is crashing.
If there is no crash message in Renpy style, then it's on your side. One of only things that come to mind is possibly pc thinking it's a suspicious file, it can happen rarely and randomly with some games in Renpy that use a custom launch icon. - You could try -> deleting the game and trying to reinstall/reunzip - Try installing in a different folder (Desktop) - Pause any Antivirus that might block it and see if it can launch
It happens very very rare and there is no simple universal solution if that's the case.
Beat identify calls it: "Romantic and Inspiring Soundtrack: by EDOOX - Topic" but the video is unavailable. Research shall continue.
Research inconclusive. Everywhere seems to either require paid subscription to even listen to it, doesn't know it exists, or points to something else with thr EDOOX name with is apparently a common(ish) handle.
non harem usually means that you can get like 1 or 2 sex scenes with every character but at some point you will have to decide which character to focus on. ie: fun to play for the first few chapters, then fall off HARD once you have to "pick." A good example of this is Leap of Faith. Fantastic game up until you have to pick one girl.
Yesn't! In the end you can only date 1 girl yes, but you aren't punished a lot early game (and this is all still early with latest Ep4) if you are checking the other girls and their paths at the moment. As the game progresses you'll have to slowly start focusing on one girl, as it will be harder and harder to keep highest points and paths with all girls at once ^^
Some folks fantasize about one woman telling them their choices are always wrong, others are more masochistic and prefer a council of women to sh*t on their lifestyle and drive them to an early grave.
Looking pretty solid so far. Would be happy to buy the full version when it comes out (hopefully a future steam release for the dev?;)
Anyway, one slightly trivial critique.
In the beginning, my protag stands up for Simon when he's getting bullied and pushed around on the first day. And this dude, Simon, does NOT even say a simple "thanks" afterwards. Like, I'm out here risking my own personal safety, trying to stick up for a guy who I basically just met, and the dude has not a single ounce of gratitude? And THEN, to add salt to the wound, he does the whole "I could've beaten them if >protag< didn't stop me!" trope. YO. NAH BRO. Rubbed me the wrong way, for real. It honestly made me want nothing to do with Simon for a good 60% of the game.
In fact, it's only KOKO who gave props to the protag. So strange.
Anyway, happy to see a non-harem dating sim on here. Will follow this one and see where it goes. Hoping for the best.
Valid comment! Yep in rework that segment got slightly tweaked. Avis technically also commented on it before, but yeah. Before it was also weird bcs if you selected to not help Simon, you'd literally watch it all happen 3 m away from it, and then playing dumb when he asks about it 🤣 That and some other sections got tweaked so now we always help our bro out.
I've been playing some VNs for a while, but was hesitant to step outside of the main two I had been playing. I gotta say, I'm glad that my first step outside of them was Fates Collide, it has been a completely enjoyable experience with lovable characters and a story that I am very interested in! I am very excited for future updates and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here! Thank you for the great experience I have had playing your VN!
this is top tier dialogue is actually fun, im not skipping everything for once soundtrack is phenomenal (pls add a list) scenes are wellmade but most noticeably theyre not just a single motion on repeat which is sooo rare and they look just great, absolutely beautiful work
cant wait to one day play the finished version thank you for the experience
P.S. bit of a far stretch but i recently discovered, HYBS, a popjazz band think you might like it ^^
Is it a content issue or something else? Considering all the avns on steam and then doing 18+ patches via way of dlc on steam or off-site, I'm guessing with you guys saying that, did steam change its policies again? O.o
One of the best VN out there, the story, renders, the chars... I've played a lot of them trying to search/look for a good one, that just doesn't jump right into the H scenes and this one just hits the spot I was looking for... Can't wait for Ep 5!
Hello, what an amazing game, you really have a great talent for creating a story, I'm a big fan, I'm from Brazil, keep going because this game is amazing, thanks, and greetings from Brazil
Also, I gotta say this is a nice change of pace from the usual H VN. Loving the story (mentioned above), mainly because how rooted to reality most of the interactions are. Keep up the good work, and all the best in your studies! I'll keep my eyes here to see any future updates.
I have started playing and rating AVNs, and add them to my public collections. I do not wish for anyone to hate on any author, not even me, but I know I can be quite crass in my comments, and I am only human. That said, I sincerely respect authors that don't block someone for criticism, and I will stop my self-promotion there.
This review is being written as I am playing the game for the first time.
The first thing I noticed, was that I missed a dialog box, or a choice in the settings to set opacity of a dialog box. I know it will mean that some parts of the scene will be covered, but I would rather have an easier time reading the story, and have to press H to hide it if there's something I want to see in full. I have yet to play more than two minutes when writing this.
After about 45 minutes of playtime, I am really interested in knowing about the mysterious woman in th cafe. In many AVNs, I don't feel interested in getting to know characters or their motivation, simply go with the flow because that's what the story requires, but this game has so far managed to capture my curiosity.
GREAT WIDE GRIN at the sound effects and situation on your first day of school :-D
Starting the night on the first day of school, I am glad to see that the two guy friends you have, are both different, and to a small extent the same, while also not being too obnoxious or pushy or wimpy, like many AVNs do with male friends.
!!NB!! I am unsure if I can manage to keep from doing spoilers from here on, so be warned. !!NB!!
Like the warning we're given during the night about our choices. It very lightly ruins your immersion, but I am glad of both ways; tell the player, or let the player find out for themselves. There are advantages to both, and in a game that is as good as this one seems to be so far, I wouldn't be opposed to either approach.
Not a fan of the music during your interaction with Serena.
Glad to see the creator is aware that men should also be wary of accepting drinks from strangers.
At the end of the second day of school, I'm glad to be torn about who to choose when I have the choice between MC's guy friends and the women I am trying to seduce. I am also glad to see that you get to choose whether or not to pursue a relationship with someone.
I am also dying to know what the deal is with Kenji and everything else surrounding him.
I guess I'll end my first-impression review there. Game time is about 2.5 hrs.
TLDR: Engaging storyline, exciting personalities, great artwork, manages to make the guy friends feel like friends you don't want to reject because they're just side characters, as many AVNs do. Highly recommend this game!
1. Is it possible to share all the song you use in the game, your music taste is just *chef kiss*, also you know when and what song to use in certain situations, it makes everything even more perfect. but i cant find all the songs, only managed to get song from R.A.D.
2. Whenever update come, do i have to reinstall the app to include the latest update?
Thank you for your sweat blood and tear making this VN, i love you, but i love serena more
I don't really have a list of all songs, and some will get changed in next update to reflect a few things.
Hmm no idea about Android (if thats the app meaning). But players will have to start from scratch in ep4.5 anyway so yeah, at least for next release, reinstall is probably needed. (unless you are on pc, no need to "reinstall" the game)
She is a slow character, but yes, she getting some love too. I am (in ep4.5 Redone version) giving her slightly more visibility in early episodes/content (alongside some other girls), but she will also be main focus with Serena and one more in Episode 5 too (the camera thingie she talked about ^^)
I am so happy in seing that she will be getting more attention. And whats about the end of the game tho? like I didn't quite get my hand on it, the girl has 2 personalities? (and I forgot the name of the girl) that was such a cliffhanger tho
I really enjoyed this VN! I'm still new to AVN but i could tell how good the graphics and scenes were. I had fun learning about the different characters and their backgrounds!
I didn't mind that this isnt a harem focused game. It was refreshing to get to know the stories! Team Koko all the way!

Is it me or this game only has 2 scenes,the serena and koko ones
And a sidegirl you missed ^
damnnn Soo-Ah design really hit my spot, will she able to become one of the romanceable character in future?
Nope! She is just a side character ^^
danggg, what about future contents? like another meeting with her?
I do hope you'll reconsider though. She's just too good to be just a side character.
idk if anyone played Eternum but the side characters Chang and Micaela are acc from Eternum. Did Caribdis do a truce with you or something?
P.S Eternum is really good. like acc.
Not sure "truce" is the right word, but yea, we did a small collab together. Falazio appears in Eternum too ^^
this was absolutely brilliant! Laughed my arse off when Chang appeared out of nowhere and was called home by Micaela haha.
I just finished playing and dude, your story telling and characters are really freaking good. It made me want to go to collage fr. Can't wait for the new update. Try your best, we'll be here to support you.
Thanks for the kind words!
Do you have some walkthrough routes ? for girls ? i kinda miss some image on Valentina.
Nope, but you probably didn't get her to get to the beach ^^
Yeah, bout that. How do u even do that?
What's the song in the start screen? Banger
Phonk by Infraction- Backslider!
Haven't finished the current content yet, but I was wondering, will it be obvious when we have to pick which girl to get with in the end?
In current ep1-4 you dont have any such point of choosing yet ^^
And in future updates, while not yet 100% so don't quote me on it, idea is to "lose" one by one girl by choices/denying them/relationship points throughout regular play.

Alright, so it will be obvious enough that if you want to pick a certain LI it should be easy to control without accidentally losing their path too?
Ehhhhhhhhhhh I meaaaaan kiiiiinda? 😅
The "death flags" are easy to spot. As in "girl tries to kiss you and you say no" styles of flags. The other part, having enough relationship points is another topic, but so far I've been very generous with them and there isn't stuff that's locked behind "need 100% of all points" or anything similar. As long as you start focusing that girl more and more in later updates, you're fine.
Cant wait great game btw
sheesh
All I have gotten so far are 2 scenes wtf
lil bro didn't read the description lol
1 hour in and so far I like the girls I encountered. I have the feeling that one "Mrs" is getting played. I hope I said it right, english and stuff.
Idk, but that Korean girl in the game looks like Bae Suzy. 🥵 But I think it's just my eyes playing tricks on me 😂
Walkthrough pdf please

Highly Recommended - Try it!
Great Story and Renders
well I don't know what to say
one thing this Is a Great game
Thank you Kat for Making this Game
I love non Harem 😍
Take as much time as you need to make the new update, I genuinely love the game so far and I'm excited to see the rest, but that also means I care about you the creator, there's no way you can produce a game that fits you or our standards if you don't take care of yourself
Even if you decided to take 6 more months I would still be waiting, just like I have been waiting for Silksong for an eternity already
Take care, keep up the good work, wish you the best
I need pdf walkthrough 😋
🥥
😊👉 You
Raiko is perfect, super cute both personality and visually ALSO has a perfect as well
I need Chinese,thanks
Unfortunately, I have no translations available for the game at this moment. Maybe in the future!
ok，thanks

Bro, that Korean girl is probably the hottest girl on here. Too bad she's only a "side girl". I wish we could see more of her.
What's the name of soundtrack when the MC is late for his flight?
I'd actually like to say but I cannot find the source anymore, think it was one youtube free music channels that got hacked/terminated :/
Beat identify calls it: "Romantic and Inspiring Soundtrack: by EDOOX - Topic" but the video is unavailable. Research shall continue.
Research inconclusive. Everywhere seems to either require paid subscription to even listen to it, doesn't know it exists, or points to something else with thr EDOOX name with is apparently a common(ish) handle.
i dont really get the non harem dating sim, does it mean that i can only date with 1 girl ?
non harem usually means that you can get like 1 or 2 sex scenes with every character but at some point you will have to decide which character to focus on. ie: fun to play for the first few chapters, then fall off HARD once you have to "pick." A good example of this is Leap of Faith. Fantastic game up until you have to pick one girl.
To each their own, plenty of people as we can see like non harem games ^^
ohhh i got that, i wish i had sb to date with irl
anyway, tysm
Yesn't!
In the end you can only date 1 girl yes, but you aren't punished a lot early game (and this is all still early with latest Ep4) if you are checking the other girls and their paths at the moment.
As the game progresses you'll have to slowly start focusing on one girl, as it will be harder and harder to keep highest points and paths with all girls at once ^^
oh i see, tysm
looking forward to your game's future story
Some folks fantasize about one woman telling them their choices are always wrong, others are more masochistic and prefer a council of women to sh*t on their lifestyle and drive them to an early grave.
Dude, my one girl is enough to drive me to an early grave lol. Who needs 10 more?
Not to hurry you up or anything, but how far is the next update?...
I really love the game!
Still quite far due to the scope of rework, at least few more months!
Is there a Chinese translation available?
Nope, currently only English.
Looking pretty solid so far. Would be happy to buy the full version when it comes out (hopefully a future steam release for the dev?;)

Estamos ansiosos para o episódio 4.5 então não tenha pressa faça tudo conformes você tem planejado, estamos com você
I've been playing some VNs for a while, but was hesitant to step outside of the main two I had been playing.

I am very excited for future updates and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here! Thank you for the great experience I have had playing your VN!
it's a really good game
Glad you are enjoying it ^^
Is there a guide or something? I've only gotten 2 scenes unlocked,it's really hard to find more
Try this - https://gaminghypes.com/fates-collide-walkthrough/
Although it doesn't have Episode 4 guide yet... It is pretty good...
I found this game by pure coincidence (played other AVN and discovered this masterpiece)
I am happy that i found this game really fucking love mate
keep it up
hope everything is going well in your life cuz u know why not and you made real fucking masterpiece so you earned it
love ya mate
10/10 game
Aww thanks! Glad you enjoyed the game ^
this is top tier
dialogue is actually fun, im not skipping everything for once
soundtrack is phenomenal (pls add a list)
scenes are wellmade but most noticeably theyre not just a single motion on repeat which is sooo rare
and they look just great, absolutely beautiful work
cant wait to one day play the finished version
thank you for the experience
P.S.
bit of a far stretch but i recently discovered, HYBS, a popjazz band
think you might like it ^^
Sadly, they disbanded a month ago.
put on steam? it has more then enough content
Neither Honey Select nor Koikatsu games can be sold on steam, as far as I understand.
Yep, as Di said ^
oh well i'll just follow here or on patreon thanks for response kat
Is it a content issue or something else? Considering all the avns on steam and then doing 18+ patches via way of dlc on steam or off-site, I'm guessing with you guys saying that, did steam change its policies again? O.o
Not content issue, but software ^^
Ahhh, gotcha. Thank you for the reply🙏
Is it possible to play the previous episodes or does it have all the episodes up to 4?
It comes with all previous content as well, so Ep4 is ep1-4.
ty!
One of the best VN out there, the story, renders, the chars... I've played a lot of them trying to search/look for a good one, that just doesn't jump right into the H scenes and this one just hits the spot I was looking for... Can't wait for Ep 5!
Glad you enjoyed, more to come! 😎
Hello, what an amazing game, you really have a great talent for creating a story, I'm a big fan, I'm from Brazil, keep going because this game is amazing, thanks, and greetings from Brazil
Thank you!
Made an account just so I could comment. Good story so far! And seeing Chang in the game, just made it perfect. Can't wait for next update!
I wish for more cameos!
Also, I gotta say this is a nice change of pace from the usual H VN. Loving the story (mentioned above), mainly because how rooted to reality most of the interactions are. Keep up the good work, and all the best in your studies! I'll keep my eyes here to see any future updates.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yep the main focus was to try a bit more realistic approach to the setting and convos/relationships ^^

Hi katana, i have 2 question
1. Is it possible to share all the song you use in the game, your music taste is just *chef kiss*, also you know when and what song to use in certain situations, it makes everything even more perfect. but i cant find all the songs, only managed to get song from R.A.D.
2. Whenever update come, do i have to reinstall the app to include the latest update?
Thank you for your sweat blood and tear making this VN, i love you, but i love serena more
I don't really have a list of all songs, and some will get changed in next update to reflect a few things.
Hmm no idea about Android (if thats the app meaning). But players will have to start from scratch in ep4.5 anyway so yeah, at least for next release, reinstall is probably needed. (unless you are on pc, no need to "reinstall" the game)
I see, thank you
Please for the love of God don't change the one in the bedroom with Serena. I don't know the name but I play that one all the time.
I fucking loved this game
and can't you make Valentina a main Character or at least with more scenes to her? she is such a cool character
She is a slow character, but yes, she getting some love too. I am (in ep4.5 Redone version) giving her slightly more visibility in early episodes/content (alongside some other girls), but she will also be main focus with Serena and one more in Episode 5 too (the camera thingie she talked about ^^)
So stay tuned for ice queen!
I am so happy in seing that she will be getting more attention. And whats about the end of the game tho? like I didn't quite get my hand on it, the girl has 2 personalities? (and I forgot the name of the girl) that was such a cliffhanger tho
You'll have to see in future about Eiko ^^
🏃♂️💨
Oh I will sure be waiting
I really enjoyed this VN! I'm still new to AVN but i could tell how good the graphics and scenes were. I had fun learning about the different characters and their backgrounds!
I didn't mind that this isnt a harem focused game. It was refreshing to get to know the stories! Team Koko all the way!
Glad you enjoyed 😊
