Spoiler Warning!
I played the free version, Vincent's route. Firstly, I must commend the game for being on the longer side. I appreciate it when VNs are a bit longer. The art and the CGs are gorgeous in this game so that is definitely a plus. Overall though, I must admit that I did not like the story of this game. There was not much of a plot and the worldbuilding was weak. The story kept jumping and there was not a real central theme. It just meandered and felt a bit incomplete. If you like VNs that are more focused on romancing or getting to know a character without much else, then this game is for you. I prefer one where there is more to the story and setting and scene is a bit more immersive. There is not much of an intro in this VN into the world of Quansies. It becomes confusing. There is so much potential and the concept is unique, but it just fell a bit flat in the end.
I absolutely loved this game and I have so many thoughts now that I finished all of the endings!
First of all, it is a MUST to buy the DLC, it is absolutely worth it trust me, and while the free version does give you a little bit of taste of the world of Degraman and its characters, I highly recommend checking out the dlc as well. Second of all, if you are looking for an easy game to play, fluffy romance, comfort characters, happy endings or just anything close to a short and sweet experience, maybe this isn't for you. This game has a dark, rich story, sprinkled with humour yes, but i feel like it is something more mature than a regular visual novel.
Now that that is out of the way, i have so many things to say so I'm gonna start with the writing, story,the choices etc. I really loved the fact that you have to actually search for the truth in this game yourself. Every choice,every ending,every interaction done differently leads you to a new piece of information about the characters, the mc or the world in this game which was so fun to do. It made me actually pay attention to every detail, it made me come up with theories or even write stuff down so that i can keep track of the choices and the endings i wanted to achieve. I really appreciate the fact that the devs didn't put up any official walkthroughs for the game (except for one of the endings i believe), because i feel like this played a big part of me enjoying this experience. THE CHOICES ACTUALLY MATTER! The writing was very good, it did make me immerse into the story, the descriptions were detailed but not that much that made you lose track of the story which i really liked. There was a very good distinction between the characters when it came to dialogue, each one had their own unique way of speaking, they didn't all just blend into each other. The humor was amazing, right up my alley. The story is very interesting, intricate and unique. I like how it starts off almost like a parody of a visual novel, but then you get a wake up call,in this world nobody is nice to you for no reason. Another thing I really liked, was the fact that this game really made me question my morals, my view on some things, and yes i am mostly talking about the Vincent-Cassel thing, it was really interesting and to my surprise i actually really enjoyed it.
Now the characters. I'm gonna start off with the the mc. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the main character had so much personality. I played A LOT of visual novels and most of the mcs are very bland or annoying and for me personally, it's a bit issue because it distracts me from the story. But ya in this game, i really loved the mc there were so many things she did or said that were very relatable to me, it felt like an actual person. I must admit tho, she was very umm lustful sometimes haha but it was very funny especially the fact that she was very aware of that herself but couldn't help it. The mc's personality made every interaction with another character very enjoyable, and i really liked the fact that the loner route actually had two sides of her which lead to different experiences and different bonds with the characters. I really liked the fact that all of the characters had both qualities and flaws, lots of them, it made it harder for me to love them, they felt real,not the dreamy fictional type. My favorite character was Vincent and God, i loved the love-hate feelings he made me have towards him. Such a fun character,every time he appeared on screen i was excited to see what he was gonna say, if it would make me want to punch or hug my laptop haha.It was refreshing to see a character with this type of personality without being a tsundere. His anger, awkwardness, annoyance, they all make sense once you start learning things about him. I got to see soooo many sides of him throughout all the endings which only made me love him even more.
Now the art in this game is absolutely amazing. Not only you get sooooooooo many beautiful cgs, but you also get multiple sprites for the same character which is pretty rare and ALSO, they even have multiple outfits. The attention to detail in this game is astonishing. But my favorite part are the facial expression because there were so many, especially on Vincent oh my god. There was a different expression on his face for every slight change in his behaviour, his feelings. Turkey did a wonderful job ,i don't even dare to think how much time and effort was poured into the art.There was also such a big improvement since the demo and the art style that made it out into the final game turned out to be so beautiful and unique. The backgrounds were also incredibly beautiful and i loved the little details and references they had in them. I also got the ost because it's just so gooood, i've been listening to it on repeat, it just makes me immerse back into that world every time i listen to it.
I could still go on and on but i think this review is already way too long haha.My conclusion is that this was an amazing game and i can't wait to replay it once some time had passed and i am also incredibly excited about the future routes and all the things that they will uncover.
Thank you for such a detailed, full of love and admiration review!
We really appreciate your thoughtful approach to the walkthrough of the game and are glad that you appreciated our dangerous decision not to make an official walkthrough.
Thank you for appreciating our hard work in terms of visual. Our artist is incredibly flattered that you have noted and highlighted such seemingly inconspicuous things as the constant change of emotions.
We are very pleased that you supported and highly appreciated our improvements from the demo version. This was not an easy decision for us.
Such great reviews can't be too long :3
We are happy to work on new routes for wonderful players like you, who are so open, attentive and generously sharing their emotions.
I cant open the dlc either :( I'm on Catalina too! I try downloading rpa tool to open it but it keeps showing error messages
To use the DLC you don't need rpa tool.
You just have to put the cl_dlc.rpa file into the game folder of the master game.
Can you plz show us the screenshot of the files you have?
and the error you get (or how do you understand that DLC doesn't work).
You can e-mail to us - [email protected]
I see! I did it and it worked! Tysm!!!
Yay!
YES!!! It's finally released!!! :)))
Yeah! :3
Can you plz show us what's the error? (or you can email us to [email protected]
hi there don't know if this will help ya! This is a fix if your game icon pops up then closes and never opens the game.
if you open the terminal on mac then type
obviously delete the path to app section and put your actually game file. you can do this by dragging the app icon to the terminal and it will copy the pathway
This is a pretty common fix on macs
doesn't always work on first try but might help!
Thank you!
Can we plz ask you to email to us your current folder structure and the error you get?
[email protected]
I love this game so much ,Vincent is definitely my favourite,i like how he is sour and sweet (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ Can't wait for the full version ,you guys did such a good job with this demo,art,music,everything is great. ♥‿♥
Thank you very much. It's so pleasant to read such comments!
Ooooh pls make a route for Victor and Sebastian, I love them both. Victor is flirty and very very sexy. His long white Ponytail looks so cute and his piercings and his look on me. And Sebastian seems shy and always sleep. He is totally cute. Nice green eyes, long brown hair and seems to be a nice guy. I hope you put both routes in this game.
Thank you for your comment! We are definitely going to do their routes, but first routes to be released are going to be Vincent's and Cassel's
Hi!
In my search to find out more I ended up here! :-) I just played the Demo on my phone, didn't knew it was on itch too! Anyways, I wanted to say that loved it! 🥰
I love the music , I love the art , I like how everyone has their own personality, and how it is all connected.
I do hope we get a option to push or slap Ryu's hand away when he wants to feed the MC . Even Though Ryu is a sweety, I just really wanted slap him so badly and tell him to cut it out! 😂😅
Looking forward for the full game! keep up the good work! 😊
Best wishes for 2021!
- x-
Thank you! Such a sweet comment in new year :3
We're very impressed, that you enjoyed the demo so much. It's so pleasant for us!
Loved the bits of story we got to see and I'm super interested in what the full game will be like with the prologue and choices. Thank you for the hard work! I look forward for when this is released.
Thank you so very much for such kind words! :3
Playing the demo right now.. and the music is amazing. Can't wait to play the full game!!
Thank you! We hope the full version will amuze you the same!
Hi it's me again! I was just wondering if there's a way to pre-order the game before it releases? I loved the demo so much and I would love to have the game as soon as it's out
Hey!
Unfortunately, we don't plan to do the pre-order (or early access).
BTW answer to this and other questions are available in our Q&A section
am willing to sell my soul for the full game, just saying
The game will be a a little bit cheaper.
But thank you anyway! :3
Very high-quality and time-consuming work. Keep it up!
Thank you! We're doing our best :3
I've tried twice now and keep getting the bad end when she leaves after Vincent goes ballistic lol wonder what I'm doing wrong. The first time I kinda flirted with some of them. Perhaps I shouldn't? Trying again! I really like it so far can't wait for the full release. It said 21 chapters, though from the demo, chapters seem to be short.
Thank you! Seems to be you were so interested in the demo - so it was too short for you. We're doing our best to make the full version not to be so short :3
As for the bad end, if you still face it - you can write us in twitter - Degraman. We will try to accomplish it together!
I finally got to the end :D poor Victor! I'm completely intrigued by him and his "you could never love me now" comment. He doesn't know me very well! I'm looking forward to the full release!
Good for you! In the full version you will have a little bit more chanses to speak with Victor. But his route will be later
Woooow, I just finished the demo and I want more. Its really awsome the way all things fit together, the music, the art, the atmosphere and the story. I just wish I coud have a poliamorous or a inverse harem route, because I can´t choose!!!
By the way.... would you like to have it translated to spanish? I would absolutely volunteer for that.
Thank you for your kind words!
And thank you for your willingness to help us! We appreciate that :3
Unfortunately we don't plan to do the translation to Spanish in the nearest future.
What the fuck is going on... no, seriously, what the fuck. Wait. What? Am I having a stroke? WHAT the FUCK is going on. Oh... shit. Okay. OKAY. WAIT WHAT TH
^ basically me playing this game lmao 😂 I am definitely enticed, and can't wait to play the full version. I am very curious as to where this is going, and my brain is already running amok on me with theories and conspiracies- so kudos for that!
Thank you! We would love to listen to your theories and conspiracies :3
Thank you! We're doing our best :3
Vincent and Cassel route are expected to be released this year. But other routes are planned to be done as well.
I come back every once and a while to check up on progress and am always disappointed when I see it isn't released yet. However! That being said! I totally respect you guys taking your time to make it perfect, for sure. I'm just so excited for the finished product!
We're trying to provide monthly reports to make it a little more clear for those who are waiting for our project. Thank you for waiting and believing in us :3
We appreciate this and it inspires us to work so much
Всей семьей ждем фулл версию
Терпения и хорошего настроения
С любовью из России ;))
Спасибо большое - очень неожиданно!
У нас всегда хорошее настроение :3
И будем стараться дарить его вам
Oh wow I absolutely love this and the quality is out of this world, I can't wait for the full version, please take you time and I'll definitely play it when it comes out <3
SPOILERS: So far I'm super into Vincent because the boy is honest at least and has some integrity. Victor is also someone I immensely enjoy because even though he's not playing hero he's still looking out for mc and is actually kind of pushing her to seize some power for herself which I stan honestly.
Last question though: Will the full version be free to play? (makes no difference but I'm just curious)
Thanks for your feedback! :3
We're so glad that you liked the demo and hope you will like the full version even more!
We plan to make one route with one ending free, but the full game will be paid.
I'm super impressed with the quality of the writing and the art of the demo. It's such an interesting and unique story. So excited for the full game! :)
Thank you! And we will be excited for your feedback for the full game ;-)
I loooved the demo! :3 I cant wait to get full one =D
Thank you so much! We do the best we can! :3
I was nearly expecting one of those happy-go-lucky VNs, Then the twist came, and I thought: "alright I'm in." Gotta say, Vicktor saying I could never love him now that I'd seen him...I take that as a challenge. Just fyi.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you! We appreciate you're in
BTW, we will make it a true challenge, just FYI :3
Loving the characters and the interesting story keep up the good work! <3
Thank you! We're doing our best! :3
I love it ! Im reallyy looking forward to next chapters . Its mysterious creepy and unique. Different from other v novels. . Im dying to know what will happen next ! Who is a liar, who is honest, who is more likeable, etc.... very good job ^^ Now you have a new followerr
Yay!
What a sweet feedback. Thank you
Don't die, we need you (*^ω^)
Wow! I loved every second! Interesting unique storyline and very beautiful art. Im really looking forward to seeing more! Fantastic!
Thank you ヽ(o^―^o)ノ
In the full version there will be much more seconds ;-)
i love twisted stories(without a fluffy stuff, and more raw emotions), bad guys ,twisted guys it is always welcome you know! it is really diferent from the others novels and have thier own appeal, im waiting for the next chapters! btw the art is amazing!
Thank yo uso much! (´。• ω •。`)
We will try not to dissapoint you. Such a high evaluation makes us blush
It is so interesting.OMG I AM WAITING FOR IT
Thank you! Glad you are so interested (´。• ω •。`)
This is really, really interesting!
I feel like I can't trust any of the guys. They all seem to have ulterior motives, but maybe I'll find out their true intentions in the future chapters. I can't wait till the next update. 😁
Thank you so much!
We do our best to release the game, but it will be available only in Q3 2020 (if we are not dramatically mistaken) (´。• ω •。`)
At first I was like, jeez, this demo's long (not that I was complaining) and then when it ended I was SO HOOKED. Thanks to everyone for the obvious hard work (and for the future hard work!) I can't wait to play the full version!
Thank you so much! For your warm words. We're doing our bets to bring the full version as soon as it possible (≧ω≦)
I just finished the demo and it's incredible, the music, the story has left me wanting to play the whole game,please keep going, you're doing a fantastic job!
Thank you very much!
Hope you'll like the full version at least the same (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Im officially hooked,
Brilliant effort so far, im a huge fan of darker vns and really it was a pleasure to be so uncomfortable right off the bat, to watch as the momentary glossy vermeer of otome is ripped away to prove something more insidious- i will wait with anticipation to see this story unfold.
my sincere kudos and admiration to you all working on this, it is shaping up to be a beautiful yet harrowing experience.
Oh, thanks for such a wonderful feedback! (。◕‿‿◕。)
We are very glad that you appreciated the darkness in Degramen. We hope, you will be the person who will plunge completely into the gloomy world of quansie with pleasure (¬‿¬)
Great demo, really enjoyed every bit of it! Game's artstyle, atmosphere and mood are so unique and interesting. But i wonder, are you going to release your game (when it will be finished of course) on Steam or here on Itch.io? Or maybe some other platform? (Sorry if someone already asked this question)
Thanks a lot for the nice words! (´。• ω •。`)
We're going to release the game both on steam and itch.io
That's ok if you ask the question, that was already asked before. We always like to talk about Degraman (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
And the question is really was answered in our Q&A post in our tumblr
Потрясающая демка. Персонажи цепляют своей оригинальностью. Романтическая ветвь раскрывает персонажей не как шаблоны, а как глубокие интересные личности. С нетерпением жду полную версию. Не пожалею никаких денег.
Разработчикам сил, удачи и вдохновения)
Ох, огроменное спасибо что так полюбили Деграмена! Надеюсь, что мы оправдаем ваши ожидания (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
This is absolutely unbelievable.
Amazing graphics, an excellent soundtrack and an exciting story, what else is needed for complete happiness.
Great work, excellent visual novel!
Thanks for such a high evaluation of our work! (っ˘ω˘ς)
the best demo game i played so far even if i couldnt afford the full game it will remain as my fav game i really love the art style and the atmospher playing the game it reminded me of how i draw
Thank you! We hope you can afford the full game and you'll like more than the demo (´。• ᵕ •。`)
i'm in love, the art was beautiful and the characters are amazing, i need more of this story, i can't explain how much i loved it
We are happy, that you liked our game so much!
We are hit to the heart by your adoring and enthusiastic words
(´• ω •`) ♡
This is madness, but it's fun and I like it, despite it perhaps not being my preferred...um. Type of premise? The music and the artwork are really nice (pity that Vincent's lovely butt doesn't fit on the screen, though XD). I think Sebastian is my favourite guy so far. He's so pretty and has such lovely hair. And he doesn't do anything. GOOD! XD Because, honestly, the other guys getting so handsy and stuff was a bit overwhelming. If it were me, I would be hiding behind Vincent. XD But I wouldn't mind getting to be the Sleeping Beauty's cuddly toy, I suppose, as long as he doesn't try to eat my hair.
Thank you so such for a humorous and incendiary comment.
Our mood has improved thanks to your words \(≧▽≦)/
In the full version maybe the other guys will not overwhelm you so much and you will be able to protect your personal space (っ˘ω˘ς)
Wait. Will this be a commercial game? If so, is there any estimated price?
Hello. The game will be commercial, that's for sure. But, unfortunately, we cannot name the price right now, even the range. Mostly because this is our first project. The price will be known up to the release date, which will be Q2-Q3 2020
