Whether they like it or not, they need your help to figure out what’s going on, just as much as you need theirs.

Epstein Island when?

( 3)

it's amazing!! i can't wait for the full version to be released...

( 2)

i was sleepy and after playing the game is was very wake up that i didnt wanted to sleep 

( 1)

honestly great. it's a little hard to tell where im supposed to hit the notes but you can get by 

( 2)

Very weird and fun concept. I like that each killer has a different soundtrack. Thank you for including key binds, I was able to find a layout that worked for me. Occasionally some of the notes felt a little off, but overall the gameplay worked well. Good job. : )

Not everbody is profissional at rhythm games. And you except poeple to be. What about making easy (I mean easy not your easy) and making it harder as game flows on,that way player can used to controls and not close the game in the start,hm?

( 3)

it's not that hard...

( 2)

tf if u cant play rythmn games then just dont play it? why u getting mad at the creator for?

( 2)(-1)

I LOVED IT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

( 6)

dont judge me but.. im waiting for the ben option on the sleep choice.. im a sucker for BL stories..

( 2)

me too on Ben (as a straight female)

 but I thought the player character was an ambiguous self-insert

(-1)

really? Why does it have to be on Mac? I’m on iPad.

( 3)

im really hoping this game gets continued its really cool! and my favorite character  so far is definingly    edwina i love her design her personality and just her vibe  and how Shes less killer than the rest at least so far 

(-3)

why is it for Mac? I’m on iPhone.

( 2)

Mac as in Macintosh and Macbook. if it was for iphone it would say ios.

( 4)

Esta chido, no entendí nada porque no se ingles, pero esta chido. :) 👍

( 2)

This game somehow isn't what I expected and was everything I expected, Fun game!
( 3)

I LOVE THIS GAME. The music is so amazing to listen to and I love how each character has their own little song going. All the interactions and options can be so damn funny, and I love how the characters interact. Playing on 5 Keys was challenging but honestly super fun, and I can't wait to see more of this game. Ben is the best btw he is so cute
( 1)

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed the demo! 

I love this video so much. "I underestimated the goth pussy" is so good 😭

"It was too crazy." XD

This game has left me quite surprised with the art and the how it plays. Although I personally think using 5 keys for the rhythm sections is a bit much. 4 keys would probably be a lot better and considerably less awkward for me to play. Unless I'm not understanding how I'm supposed to play with 5 keys, I'm used to 4 at most.

( 3)

I really liked the demo. The characters look charismatic and the options are quite entertaining even if they lead to a bad end lol I appreciate that the rhythm game is not easy as some people ask for. If they put it on the level of Fortnite Rock Band I would just be so bored. It only remains to improve the fluidity and to be able to calibrate the notes but despite everything I expect more from Serial Lover.

you cant tell me edwina is a serial killer

( 5)

Is the game still in dev? I'm hyped

( 5)

Thanks!

Really enjoyed the DEMO what a cool game!!!!

( 2)(-1)

Please make the game a little easier and put a translation into Spanish
( 2)

Seriously, Im in love with the gameplay i love the killers, and the hilarious options you can take them too, However there should be a way to customize your key binds or go down to 4 keys instead of 6. Cant wait for the full release!

( 5)

this game seems good but could you make it easier? because i keep dying almost every 5 secs (prolly just a skill issue but please make it easier)

( 2)

relatable

( 3)

Ahahaha I wasn't good enough at the beat game to live. I died every time. 

( 1)

I think this game needs the option to name your saves. I don't know about the full game , but I don't think you can do that in the demo. I'm having a hard time finding all the dialogs with all my saves named "User save".

( 2)

AMAZING GAME!!1! CANT WAIT FOR FULL :^DDDD <333

( 2)

This game is really good, and just from the demo I can already tell the full game is going to be amazing! Keep up the good work!

( 1)

I'm definitely looking forward to playing this when it drops in full. I really like it, though yes the names are very offputting (edwina is adorable, but as I played through her somewhat cutesy song, I just kept thinking of the real Gein's face, crimes, quotes... yeah, takes away from the seduction a bit) but I am glad to know you will be changing it :) very cool art and great music

( 1)

this game is so silly and so fun so far!! i can't wait ;'0

(-1)

Well there be a android version?

( 1)

Unfortunately the game will not be available for mobile devices!

My game keeps acting weird when I try to save. No save is made and after I close the save menu , the text appears instantly , no sound effects and after 1-2 text windows the game freezes but I can still use the menu to change my settings , but when I go to the main menu everything is just white and the music plays weirdly.

Tested something out and appears only one of the "Profiles" you can make has this problem, the others have no problem with saving.

P.S I know I reported a bug a long time ago , Sugar Slip, and I'm sorry for not responding but I barely got to open my pc ever since then and I totally forgot to check for responses.

Hi Mr Crow,

Thanks for letting me know! That's quite a peculiar bug. I'm not sure what exactly is causing this issue, but if you'd like, you can send some more information in the discord! http://discord.gg/vRHUShs

I'll keep an eye out for this issue and hopefully have it fixed before release!

( 1)

No problem. Unfortunately , all the information I provided above is all I currently know about this bug , but if I find anything new I'll gladly send a report about it on discord.

( 4)

how the heck can I bunk with Ben?! GRRRRRRRRR

( 2)

Not out yet. Just gotta wait until then

Been keeping up with this game on and off over the years, and I saw on your twitter that its mainly technical stuff and patchwork at this point before its release. No pressure, but im excited to play whenever it comes out

( 1)(-1)

I met this game today, and this is first game which I'm gonna buy when it will released. Idk why but I was so sad when I realized that game in demo. I'm so hyped for release, when it's gonna be? This year, or maybe 2024?

Hi JuiceLivin,

Thank you! Unfortunately the release date is currently unknown, as the estimate has been pushed back a few times, but you can follow the game's progress on twitter if you'd like! @SerialLoverDev

Hello, I enjoy playing this game!, but here is a suggestion or advice for you, you should increase the scroll speed limit, for some people 500 is a bit low, and with correct scroll speed It can be much more fun :D

( 2)

Sorry to ask this but could you make a baby mode or something similar cause easy mode with the slowest note speed just kills you instantly because of lag?

Hi yuukiCat,
There will be an optional no-fail mode in the final release! The game will also be more optimized, which should help to reduce the lag you're experiencing. Also, I personally recommend using the default note speed, as using slower note speeds tend to make it a bit harder to get the timing right :)

Thanks
