I really enjoyed this game! I loved the music and the art direction with the pop art/ comic style. The voice acting was also well done, although sometimes I felt like Nik could've had more inflections, but nothing major.
I only have 3 in-depth critiques on things I feel need to be worked on:
So first, I know MC was in a state of panic so they weren't thinking straight, but as someone who is always in the line of danger, they should be calmer than most. So when the MC's mom was attacked, MC should've been suspicious as to how Nik knew that person being attacked was MC's mom when he had never met her, and how he seemingly knew where their apartment was.
Second, I found it odd how MC leaves their mom who has health issues and was just attacked, in their apartment alone in favor of having time with Nik. Knowing how much MC worries about their mom, this was out of character. They should've stayed behind and gently refused Nik's invite to his home, and rescheduled for it.
Thirdly, I wish we were able to choose to drink or not. I'm not someone who drinks and choose not to drink out of health concerns, so I don't like having to drink in a story that I'm trying to immerse myself in as me. This is just my preference though so you can ignore this.
Overall I enjoyed the story and idea and can't wait to see more! :)
i loved it i loved it i loved it. Oh dear god, iam so happy to know that this will have a part two, iam so exited!!! MC feels real, i was afraid we would get a mary-sue with the super hero theme but NOPE, and boi Nik is just JHKFFGH! So hyped for more, thank u for this gem!
The protagonist is SO BAD AT ACTING NORMAL IT'S FRUSTATING. Made you wonder HOW they're able to have a normal life with how they're at explaining why they need to break up with someone, "oh I have great responsibilities", "oh what I am doing is really dangerous" BRO JUST SAY THAT YOU AREN'T READY FOR A RELATIONSHIP!
idk if the protagonist is intentionally corny or what... made me stop playing the game
I was super invested in this game and the voice acting was really good! I hope we can find out what happens to our protag x villain couple in Part 2 (is it bad that I still want to date the villain anyway :'D)
Yay full voice acting!!! Amazing game and writing already, Chronos is so unhinged, love him hehe and additionally having a great VA performance was cherry on top, can't wait for August :3
I'm not sure why but the mac zip doesn't seem to be working- whenever i try to open it, the message "The application “CriminallyYours” can’t be opened" comes up.
bro i made an acc on here to comment on this specifically, i am being so fr rn this is the PEAKKKESSSTTTTT GAME THING WHATEVER. like i dont play thaattt many and ive only recently gotten into visual novels or wtv but this is acc sososoososo good im gonna kms PLEASE I NEED THE NEXT PART AHSHSHFSJFAJ
While I was excited for ALL the submissions of the YanJam, this one made me squeal, because I ADORE superhero comic visuals/aesthetics and this just blew my expectations even MOREEEE I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I was a bit surprised with there being actual voice acting but can't say I didn't like it. The whole experience honestly was such a wonderful vibe, AND THE YANDERE ASPECTS JUST KEEPS ON GIVING
SO CURIOUS OF SO MANY THINGS, IM EXCITED
I squealed at around the end when Nik was calling MC a desperate, scared lil' thing, kicking my legs and giggling
The game is genuinely amazing, interesting and unique plot, immersive writing style, loveable characters, but i don't think a visual novel has ever frustrated me more. I had many questions, and none of them were answered 😭. Nevertheless, anxiously looking forward to the second game!!
I still managed to play it on my Steam Deck. In desktop mode I downloaded the windows download via a browser (it wouldn't download through the itch.io app), and there was a .sh file that I added to Steam as a non-Steam game.
THAT WAS SO GOOD!! That ending has me in a chokehold and I will eagerly anticipate the next part >:DD I love love this sort of character dynamic and you executed it amazingly! The characters feel so layered, and given their own circumstances are portrayed really well! (I love the mom)
I need to also add that the cell-shaded comic-like art style paired with the subtle screentoned texture is suuuper nice, stylistically this looks AMAZING.
I really liked the contrast between Chronos and Nikolaos, and it was so fun to witness his two personas exist as paralells and then eventually start to converge as the truth/reality sets in for MC. 😆😆😆 The tension was crazy in those final scenes. I was so immersed that when my piece of shit laptop suddenly blue-screened on me while playing I was like WHYY NOW DAMMIT LMAO. Really good stuff and can’t wait for more!
A blonde yandere...yes, thank you! I like both sides of Chronos' character. A helpful sweet professional that the MC can banter with, and then Chronos' charming cockiness (that I can tolerate). I always enjoy when great voice acting is added. Really amps up the playing experience.
But I don't feel like I can relate to the MC because they're a little too "moral" for me, and I would not have left after finding out Nik's identity. I'd do another round with the "enemy"...heheheh. Though I understand that there is an emphasis on hero vs villain..and it does make a good cliffhanger for part 2.
THE CLIFFHANGER NOOO NONONO I LOVE NIK SO MUCH. MY SCRUMPTIOUS POOKIE BEAR I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL FOR HIM. I NEED HIM SO BAD. WILL BE CHEERING FOR A HAPPY END!!
The plot and the characters' personalities are well written scrumptious or how you write that. Got me hooked fr, I expected more dialouge options tho-- still highly nice either way.
I love the dynamic between the player character and the two different sides of the LI <3 excited to see what lies for the second part in august Remember to take breaks and stay hydrated! :D Thank you for creating this game and bringing me along with many others much joy!
I don't usually like the Yandere theme, but, since I've loved other of your games, I decided to give it a shot. And, man, I'm glad I did. Can't wait for part 2!!!
Gosh T_T This is so good that i gotta log in to comment, can't wait the part 2 please take as much time as you guys need! The music, comic hero style and how well written of Nik made me swooning arghsdf
I am IN LOVE with the sound track. The GUI is so fun to look at and I love love custom cursors. The voice acting was amazing. The comic book expressions and actions are to DIE for. I love this game and I can't wait to replay this!

The 1.0 zip worked, so I think its a 1.1 update thing? Thank you for the update by the way, excited to see the new artwork and food choices!
someone said opening via the Itch app works for Mac users. I’ll have to have someone with a Mac I personally know to test it.
Can confirm that it works with the app! I have a Mac and it wasn't working until I opened it in the app.
I'll get the app soon then! Or maybe I should let it simmer and wait for the full thing... hahah who knows!
I would love to see a part 2 or 3 of this, this game is really good.
Part 2 (the final part) will be out in August <3
Oh wow, that is amazing! Thank you so much for your response.
this was amazing! im so excited for part 2!

I was skeptical, hesitant about downloading a super hero VN, but I did and I do not regret at all
I love it and I can't wait for the part 2 ! and Nikolaos omgg
and I love the UI it's very nice ! it really changes from usual visual novels

This was such a fun and amazing experience. Just read there's a part 2 later this year and I'm so looking forward to it!
Love him. Love Chronos. Love Nik. Like genuinely this is the first yandere game that really made giggle and kick my feet.
make a linux ver PLEEASSEE
I still managed to play it on my Steam Deck. In desktop mode I downloaded the windows download via a browser (it wouldn't download through the itch.io app), and there was a .sh file that I added to Steam as a non-Steam game.
This is wonderful!! The way I hollered in the beginning. I love it! The UI, the music, the comic graphics, the narrative. I absolutely adore it!
that was VERY, VERY VERY GOOD!! love this theme, plot and characters soo much. Can't wait for pt2!
THAT WAS SO GOOD!! That ending has me in a chokehold and I will eagerly anticipate the next part >:DD I love love this sort of character dynamic and you executed it amazingly! The characters feel so layered, and given their own circumstances are portrayed really well! (I love the mom)

Yandere hero/villain is my tea, the demo definitely got me hooked
I love the dynamic between the player character and the two different sides of the LI <3 excited to see what lies for the second part in august

THANKS SO MUCHHH.LOVE THE GAMEEE
Hii, if you don't mind me asking will the second half be free to play or stuck behind payment?
i'm letting you know this singlehandedly made me create an account just to tell you how peak this is, holy
Very cool game!! loved it all, the soundstrack, MC and Nik/Chronos are super nicely written characters, nice work to all!!
Excited to future updates!!
I don't usually like the Yandere theme, but, since I've loved other of your games, I decided to give it a shot. And, man, I'm glad I did. Can't wait for part 2!!!
Gosh T_T This is so good that i gotta log in to comment, can't wait the part 2 please take as much time as you guys need! The music, comic hero style and how well written of Nik made me swooning arghsdf

Show post...
I LOVED PLAY THIS GAME
I LOVED PLAY THIS GAME!! the story is so good, I hope the part 2 will soon realese!!! Congratulations to the creators and everyone involved!!
I am IN LOVE with the sound track. The GUI is so fun to look at and I love love custom cursors. The voice acting was amazing. The comic book expressions and actions are to DIE for. I love this game and I can't wait to replay this!
HELLLOOO?????????????????????????????????????? THIS IS ACTUALLY SO FIRE OH MY GOD IM ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT?!?!?!?!??!?!!!?!?!?!?
Criminally yours is criminally good.
This was amazing! Cannot wait for the next part, so excited!
I just started reading but how can MC says that the villain is smilling or any facial feature if chronos wears a full face mask?
BTW, is that world trade on the back of the bridge? If it is, perhaps you should change it.
Amazing story, but it feels like you should re-write it longer... even adding more heroes and villains... you have everything to make it big
Thanks; also the game page says there’s a part 2 coming in August, this is just the first half.
great!!! but I won't complain if you decided to rewrite this whole part in a calmer speed... it all went too fast... but it is still amazing
No it is not, this is a filtered stock image from Dubai.
thanks for explainning it!
