Tsunagari Chess School

i personally didn´t enjoy it and here is why: - a lot of dialouge sounded REALLY AI generated - it was too much like DDLC (music, yellow hair girl death scene (like sayori), black hair girl (like yuri), yumiko (like monika) - battle system SUCKS - some dialogue repeated itself - beacause of length = no attachment to ANY of the characters - main character is STUPID - save system is ASS bc. you can´t save manually - the genre changes ALL THE TIME! from horror to cooking to fighting and back! in conclusion: this game tries WAY TO HARD to be DDLC and because of that its not unique and could just be another DDLC mod. dont pay money for this. just watch a playthrough.

Bought the game because the title said it was a chess game Ended up killing everyone Peak game

Really fun and enjoyable. It’s simple, smooth, and entertaining, with great gameplay and good vibes all around. Addictive and satisfying, I keep coming back for more. Overall, a solid game that’s fun, relaxing, and has just the right amount of challenge.

I feel like the reviews are a bit too harsh on this game. Sure, it’s not a triple-A title, and yes, there isn’t a ton of chess for a game with “chess” in the name, but at the end of the day, if you’re looking for something similar to Doki Doki Literature Club, this is actually pretty good. I found myself absorbed by the story and the characters (dont get atached to them to much to, you may regret it later) (and unlike what some people claimed, I’m 100% sure they’re not AI-made). A lot of people also complain about the price, but honestly, $6 feels perfectly fair for what you get. If I had one criticism, it’s that the game tries a bit too hard to make you think you have choices , when most of the time, whatever you do just redirects you back onto the main path or gives you no reaction at all. Overall, it’s a good experience, and I definitely recommend it.

First, I was learning chess, having fun, then all of a sudden, I'm Yuki, then I'm doing normal stuff back to VN, then all of a sudden I'm fighting sans, good thing I'm filled with determination like Subaru

The game starts off strong and delivers the plot twist I was expecting. The story becomes engaging afterward, but it struggles to maintain its pace, and this becomes even more noticeable on subsequent playthroughs. Once the twist hits, the tone shifts into some mix of DDLC and Future Diary, with several character traits feeling lifted straight from those titles. There are only two main story paths, and additional lore unlocks only once per full playthrough, forcing you to replay entire routes just to see small new pieces. Technically, the game lacks basic VN features like a dialogue history and a skip/fast‑forward function, which makes replays unnecessarily tedious. Also, the fight mechanic...ugh.

This is just Doki Doki Literature Club on crack cocaine

combat tries to be innovative for a VN but gets repetitive after a bit. combat in a VN itself is an interesting innovation tho, from the steam reviews and social media i was expecting a story with metareality themes like ddlc, but imo the story was way too short and pacing was too fast, i mean i finished it with enough time to get a refund this is just an opinion but i feel like the dev should improve their narrative and storytelling skills to improve upon future VNs i'd give this game a review between yes and no, but since it's a solo indie dev and their first game on steam, im gonna leave a thumbs up

Everyone who's trash-talking this game are nerds actually expecting chess gameplay from the hit website chess.com. But seriously? The game's story is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane, and that's what's fun about it. This for me ticked the fun-bad category perfectly, while still having themes that are serious and a gripping plot. If the developer meant all of it in complete seriousness, then I apologize. I guess interpretation lies in the eyes of the beholder. However, I genuinely had a blast. And the game has actually amazing background art, a banger soundtrack, and some interesting gameplay elements, albeit most of them are either poorly implemented or are being used maybe like once, "without" mentioning that "choice" is a negligible concept, since all paths lead to Rome.

Yo what the actual ♥♥♥♥ is going on in this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, wheres the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ chess??? Wheres the guns??? why tf does everyone have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ flash bang????? Why is everyone tryna get in my pants cuz they got ants???? Thanks for the free game, but I'm gonna have to explain to some people why I was playing this goof ass game
