Finally got around to playing this. Gotta say, I'm hoping for an eventual sequel for it with a redemption arc for you-know-who. (Still waiting for a sequel to Nursery Diaries too ;3 )

I love this, especially the very Ace Attourney-esque parts.

Trying to avoid spoilers while getting what I wanna say across isn't easy lol.

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW

As soon as it was revealed that someone would betray him, I was like "It's gotta be the dude from his dream!" Then it turned out the accident wasn't an accident, and I had the same thought again. Regi obviously trusted him.

Ace Attourney is one of my favorite franchises, and I'm actually playing it now as a matter of fact. The trial part was great! I love figuring out mysteries in a detective/court setting. Kinda wish the romance was a little more involved, but I understand the game wasn't focused on that.

My headcanon until further notice is that the ending is a mix of the unforgettable and true endings. I'd love to see Arlin wind up on parole, his parole officer being his arresting officer (hint-hint), and his arresting officer being like, "as part of your parole, join Reginald!"

Yeah I know. Most indie devs would rather do their work for free, but it's not always plausible. 😂

However, your work deserves some backing. So don't feel bad about needing some support, especially at such low prices!

I'm so excited there's an update! 

As soon as I have a steady paycheck, I'll hop on board that train and help feed you!

I bought this on Switch, but I'm wondering if things get... spicier in the itch/Steam version? 

This update made me realize how much I love Paolo. 

I'm hoping there's some route for Paolo in the future. He looked kinda jealous when Luke took me away after our early morning tryst.

I tend to have multiple saves, and I almost never remember which one is for who, so I had to start over for all but one of them. So, when meeting that gorgeous were-tiger for the first time, I chose "Here, kitty kitty" for the first time ever (I always choose 'impressive pet') and proceeded to laugh aloud about the dialogue that came after. 

Cats, indeed, Alex. xD

Speaking of, after being bitten by Mayhew at the tower, shouldn't Alex wake at the tower the next morning? Last couple times that hasn't happened, he wakes in his apartment...  I'm on Android btw.

Then I'll be sure to get a new one the next time I'm mentally able to play it!

Love these two, but this is a much darker game than Unluckily in Love. xD I have to be ready to cry for this one.

The song Ethan sings when Justin stays over... Since they're not dating and haven't even discussed being gay, it feels awkward for him to sing about having love in his heart. I know there's different kinds, but that entire scene makes me feel second-hand embarrassment and awkwardness.

Otherwise, loving this so far. Theo's my fave. <3

I want this so it's easier to read text messages lol. Not far in the story, but I was struggling to read the texts under the text box.

Alright. Definitely hope Brenden becomes available in the future, though for now I'll be happy with Trent and Nathan.

"Six romancable characters..." 

So, who isn't romanceable? Cause I have 7 save slots, one for each character and apparently one of them isn't truly a route. I'm guessing Brenden, but... Idk.

Anyway, love the game so far. It's deeper than a lot of these types of games, more story and less "fuck everyone in sight". I like that.

Could we get a save menu added to the phone settings app? That'll make it easier for everyone, on every platform.

It shows up in the upper left hand corner as an arrow pointing down. Took me a while to find it.

Iirc there's a tiny "i" button in the upper left corner on the phone screen in the first phone scene that makes it appear.

You may have to do the buddy app first, I'm not sure.

As someone who plays in English as well, the voice acting isn't great either. I turned it off, but it's the only thing that indicates who's speaking, sadly. It sounds like a lot of those AI voices being different people and the voiced lines are just as clunky as they're written. I let it slide cause it's obvious the dev doesn't have English as their first language.

Hmm... 4 years of nothing... Touha, you okay?

Just Tyler....

Just Tyler....

Just Tyler....

Although the Android version grabbed a non-name, I know what you were going for lol. On my computer I would've been called "Gaming" anyway. 😂

Sure, if Twitter's necessary. ^^;

Since X/Twitter is being a butt (No DMs unless we're mutual friends, same on TikTok) I'll just offer here. 

There's some inconsistencies in the game, some grammar issues, and a handful of misspellings. Possibly some code issues as well since choosing one option will sometimes bring up dialogue as if the other option was chosen. If you need someone to look it over and correct anything, I'm willing to help. I can even do light coding and can probably fix those few choices for you. Plus I'm free. 

Ooohhhh... Hope I get some money soon so I can see that art! Obvs I'm still exploring the game, still not far into it but enjoying it so far.

....Are you open to people pointing things out to you? I don't wanna overstep boundaries, there's just a handful of stuff that makes me go "Huh?"

I've just started it (JUST finished the convo with August at school the first day), but I gotta say I already hope August becomes a route someday. Officer Johnson too, actually lol.

Still reading through it, but I love those little references to the other games. 

"Do you think you're a prince?"

"My father was rich enough to be an emperor."

Finished Ep 1; Yep, super adorbs. They're one of my favorite couples! I now have a new OTP... Well, not new I guess, I've loved these two since To Have and To Hold.

LOL looks like you should put in a walkthrough for those that need it.

Sure, just gonna drop it so others don't see it immediately.

You tell Yuel you have to be careful, rather than that you'll always be there.

That was a bit more twisty, but yes! Twists are my bread and butter. 

Maybe as a twist ending. Kinda like the first Saw movie. I think the first Saw movie is boring, but the twist of the "dead" body you're trapped in the room with being the mastermind behind your predicament was priceless.

However it goes, I love seeing those boys together. It makes me happy, even if I do cry at some point in their games lol.

Yaaayyyy!!!! That's my favorite of the games with them so far. Mostly because To Have and To Hold felt kinda rushed with them getting together. I actually think of that one as a sequel to Unluckily in Love, like they lost contact for a while and then meet again a decade or so later. The only inconsistency of thinking that way is Khalil's time of death because it's current in both games lol.

Joiplay with the Renpy plugin lets you play windows versions on android. I use it for some of the itch games that don't bother with android releases.

Scroll about halfway, you'll find the newest release and the Renpy plugin not much further down.

Game: What should we call it?

Me: CHAINS OF JUDGEMENT PRIVATE INVESTIGATION!!!!

Anyway, I'd have loved to see romance between Ralph and Nathan, despite Tyler's aversion to it, but it wasn't that type of game so I get it. Maybe if you do a sequel you could include some of that lol. You certainly set it up for a sequel, and I honestly love detective games (though I normally play ones where they're killing each other, such as Danganronpa).

Oh, of course it was. I'm not usually a fan of historical... Well, anything, but I'm a huge sucker for Tavi and Yuel, no matter the environment. The bad endings make me wanna replay Unluckily in Love though lol.

So... I thought I was gonna have a good ending my first playthrough, went through the credits and then Salim pops in. I cried.

My second playthrough I purposefully chose different choices, another bad ending that made me cry harder... Seriously Yuel, while Tavi is SLEEPING NEXT TO YOU?!? Ffs... What a horrible wake up call...

Finally got a good one my third time. Though geez these historical ones just rip my heart out. Things aren't much easier for them in modern times, but at least they don't have to deal with the royalty thing hanging over their heads. "Must produce an heir" my ass. Let Khalil's bloodline END, man! 

I haven't tried match coffee. Didn't even know that's a thing. I'll have to see if I can find it anywhere lol.

Actually, I think I got the Americano mixed up with something else, my bad lol. I don't know much about coffee other than enough to order some at a cafe. And normally I go with a matcha milk tea.

Interesting. Kinda predictable, as soon as they talked about wishing on shooting stars I was like "Ah, that's what happens..."

I laughed several times because just like them I have the humor of a 12 year old boy sometimes... And dad jokes are some of my favorites.

MC talked about boobs immediately and I was like "what about moobs?" Then he was later wanting to squeeze them uncle moobs and I was happy.

Only thing is the drink recommendations are weird sometimes lol. Someone asks for something bitter and we give them an americano? Those are supposed to be sweet (and also like half milk, so offering it to someone who doesn't want a drink with milk is weird). 

I saved right before each order anyway just in case, but some of them I was like "lol whut?"

I just started playing the revamp after playing the original a couple years ago (after it was finished already). 

I'm not far, just at the shower scene, and just had a minor thing I wanted to express my opinion on: The revamp shower seems a bit too bright for having half the lights out/uneven lighting.

A suggestion: add (cancelled) to the title.

It's cute seeing someone ace and aro fall in love. I relate to Gerald way too well lol.

I didn't struggle with the acting minigame much, except in the scene where Chase asks Belle for a date. Took me a few tries to get the right emotion. 

I wonder if most people missed the description of Chase's character. Since he's arrogant, he's largely cocky.

Yes! That's what I love so much!

Although, knowing that Yuel's mom and Tavi's dad were a thing, my headcanon is that they're half brothers but don't know it. Especially after playing All Idleness and Ephemera. Either way, I love seeing them accept each other flaws and all.

I actually enjoy stories that have some conflict, and considering Yuel's personality and upbringing, OF COURSE he deals with horrible depression. So I don't mind crying, especially if there's a happy ending. 

I stayed up til midnight finishing this one. I'm obsessed with these two! Their dynamic is so cute and Yuel struggling with coming to terms that he's in love with his own cousin make me cry but the happy endings make me smile.

I can relate to Yuel in a lot of ways, mostly because of mental health issues, but I love seeing him find someone who loves him. 

And I love how Tavi has such a small pool of people he cares about, but that Yuel is one of them, and possibly even his favorite, is so sweet. 

Short, cute, and out a day after my bday.

Redheaded mobster in sportswear with a choker, glasses, and eyebrow piercing. Hell. Yes.
