A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Controls / Things to  Know

  • Use W/A/S/D or arrow keys to move in the top-down shooter view.
  • Click to swing sword in the top-down shooter view or move forward in the visual novel view.
  • Each voice has four events that happen progressively each time they take control of Kei.
  • Both of the heroines / romantic interests also have their own mini-routes and scenes.

The Game

This game is intended to be a fusion of a dating-sim / visual novel and a top-down shooter.

Essentially, imagine Doki Doki Literature Club combined with Hotline Miami by way of Inside Out (or Everyone Is John).

To sum it up: you play as a voice within the head of a typical VN main character.
Unfortunately, as a voice within Kei (the main character)’s head, you’re not alone, and even worse the other voices are willing to use force to take control of our poor MC.

But maybe, if you can keep control, you can help the main character find love…
…or you can just let the others take control and see what hilarious and/or horrifying antics they get up to while in control.


Of course, at the moment, it is very, very rough. But I hope to be able to update and polish it soon. I'll gladly squish any game-breaking bugs you all report, though!

Install instructions

Please note: if you're here to rate and review for Ludum Dare 41, please make sure you've downloaded the Ludum Dare version of the game!

The other versions contain new, post-LD features and bugfixes, and so do not represent the game as it was immediately after the LD deadline.

After unzipping the downloaded file, you should be able to run the game like any other Ren'Py visual novel.
