Ouch Does this game come with a therapist? If not, I want a full refund even though it's free. I want to get a refund on my heart, my soul, and everything this game costed me. I also want to collect rent since this is gonna be living in my head. I guess it's true when they say, when you're not paying for a product, you are the product.
It's super creative and unique for a Vtuber to release their backstory as an interactive game! The story gets very emotional, and the Vtuber is very brave for discussing her past struggles in a game. I could relate to a few parts. Overall, it's a bittersweet game, but still worth experiencing! I wish Miki the best of luck in her Vtubing journey!

The game doesn't save progress and doesn't mention anywhere that it doesn't save progress. There's even a button in the Escape menu to go to the main menu, which instantly deletes all of your progress without even telling you that it's going to happen. Once you get to the main menu, all you can do is start a new game and close the game. Why have the button, then? It makes no sense. I think the game's worth playing as long as you know that it doesn't save progress. Hopefully you browsed the negative reviews before playing. If not, I hope you're not down here because you got tricked into clicking the main menu button and losing all your progress like I did. Oh well. It's probably a solid 7/10 based on the part I played, and 0/10 if all your progress gets deleted for no reason. Hopefully the dev will add a note to the game that it doesn't save progress so that I can delete this review.
The game is great for it's intended purpose! instead of a typical lore video we experience Miki Komori's story in real time with her. It's short and concise, and while I do wish, from a gameplay perspective, that we had a couple more scenes here and there for all three endings, and for the means to get the true ending to be a little more challenging to find and achieve. Another small gripe I have is that there's no log or way to go back to previous lines of dialogues like most other VN's. The music, art, and voice acting are very well done, and I hope we could get more to the story! (also Miki, if you're reading this, accept my friend request coward)
A wonderful, short visual novel surrounding the phenomenon of how painful memories and difficult situations lead to a less-than-optimal perspective on life. By clicking through different objects around the bedroom, you can look inward and recount the struggles and bittersweet experiences of the one and only Miki Komori -- a depressed, tired shut-in who just wants a break from it all. How you choose to navigate and interact with the story decides your outcome, so keep uncovering pieces of the past to find the ending right for you! In short, this was a wonderful game with amazing visuals and soundtracks (thanks MODs!) that enhanced the atmosphere of the story. A lovely way to spend the evening! Would recommend!! P.S. Check out Miki's streams for incredible tangents, hilarious commentary, and a kind, involved community!
This is home.
I really enjoyed playing the game! The wait was worth It, for sure. It was short, sure, but I believe It was enough to tell the story. I won't lie, It got me emotional. I've seen my friends get emotional over lots of media, but In none I felt the same. But this VN did. It's also a story that I think most of us can relate to. Its visuals are really cute and great, the soundtrack Is fitting and the voice acting was really nice :3 Also, I found the interactables really interesting. It adds to the depth. "Phish will suffice."
[h1] 她只是个孤独的天使♥ [/h1] VTuber起源故事,讲的是TheMikiKomori在抑郁之后的事。孤独、记忆、数字海洋。 多结局,主打身份认同和孤独感。 但你这体量,都不如一页纸多,看在有中文的面子上给个好评吧,但是绝不推荐。 [h1] 御池水色春来好,处处分流白玉渠。 -- 宫词一百首 王建♥ [/h1]
10 из 10! Прикольная, короткая новелла! В игре есть озвучка на английском языке, также русский перевод, но без озвучки. Три концовки: хорошие и плохая. Третья истинная концовка немного длиннее) Можно взаимодействовать с предметами, компьютером, игрушками, календарём, наградами. Мне понравилась новелла, хоть и короткая. Буду рада узнать что-то новое или продолжение проекта) Рекомендую! https://rutube.ru/video/99036eb7621309cfff0e2b08cc7bf394/ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9rnd2ge_0A&si=lpBmMvXeWodhyBYK
A very cute game that talks about very serious and real problems. Story is short and sweet. Graphics and music are well done, and the voice acting is also very good. If you read this review, please consider checking out Miki's streams on YouTube or Twitch. She is a very kind and welcoming streamer and her community reflects that.
