Havenless- Thriller Otome Game

Hello! I have played multiple of your company’s games and I really enjoy all of the different story lines, characters, and art in each of them. I also really like all the possibilities of getting different endings, but here is where I put in requests. I get that unlocking the different endings is meant to be challenging, but it’s almost too hard, especially without making purchases, which is really inconvenient when some people can’t just have immediate access to money whenever they feel like it. And if you complete offers, you either again, have to make purchases and/or complete actions that just result in spam. Also when making some choices in the game, the ones that cost “diamonds” or whatever other currency the game uses, they options are really expensive. Also if people just claim log-ins to get this currency, it can take like 2-3 days just get ONE of the many choices or items. Also back to the endings thing, it’s really annoying to complete the story over and over again but not get any new endings just because it is so hard to max out relationships with the characters. Please don’t think I’m only complaining cause I really enjoy all of your games, but I do think the game is made harder than it should. I also know people earn their money from in-game purchases, but at the same time it’s still really difficult. Also I have seen other people also bringing up the same issues as me, so as your audience here, I really think you should consider making at least some changes in future games. And I know that you say to try to focus on one character’s ending but it’s sometimes hard to do that, especially when you are playing through the first time. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully you consider this. Thank you, and I enjoy your games!

After mistaking Dangerous Fellows for this game, I found Havenless. Compared to the game Dangerous fellows, Havenless is the stronger of the two. The creators definitely put more love and care into the development. Less typos, the dialogue feels natural compared to DF. The love interests (3 men and 1 woman) have more depth here than in DangerousFellows as well. They’re all very likeable. The setting of DF did focus on high school students, so the game’s writing felt juvenile. The chapters here are more independent beings and less one dimensional. The art, menu, sound effects, music are nice. The menu and functions are practically identical to DF. (Same developers?) Story-wise, there are some interesting and dark twists presented. But nothing too groundbreaking if you have watched the show the Walking Dead. It’s a decent zombie apocalypse visual novel game. My only critiques are the selection and diversity of some specific sound effects and music. . At one point, a character was getting something from a pocket or holding someone’s hand and it sounded like a rustled chip bag. Odd choice. Sometimes the background music shifts too suddenly. I wish they could have added some quick response choices or actions with positive or negative consequences. It would make this otome stand out and far more immersive. Feels strange that a game involving zombies doesn’t have that. It’s a fun game to try if you have time to kill.

Honestly, I was kind of hoping the Mc was a man who could date men and women, or at least you could choose the gender of the mc... such as make them male, female, or non-binary but there are no games out there besides two that I know of made by the same company that do that. I am a transgender man who likes both men and women so I was kind of hoping the Mc was a male. But I have a feeling that they’re a female. I mean, I gave the Mc my name (Jon) so it feels a little better but I still was hoping the Mc was a man. Maybe be more diverse? Let the player choose what their character’s gender is? That honestly might bring in some more people. Some more money for you when they buy more gems during the game like people do. Just saying that’d be nice. The player choosing their gender? I mean the Mc looks like they’re a guy but I had a feeling that I saw the obvious that they’re a girl. I may be wrong, but it is just what I saw. Also why ask “Is that your real name” when I said my name was Jon, maybe refrain from doing that? Believe it or not, some guys want to do dating Sims to date men and women, might want to be more open minded about that. Overall, pretty good game and story so far, just needs a bit more open minded ideas. Thank you for reading if you did, and I hope you have a fantastical day/night! 😊
