LOVE INTERESTS:
"Name": Pierrot
Age: Early-Mid 20s
The first resident that you meet in the town. After he heard your car accident, he went to help you!
He seems that his new goal in life is helping you adapt to this strange town, feeling empathy due to him "feeling like that before"
...But can you fully trust him?
"Name": Rosaura
Age: Early 20s
The town's tailor, and the most talented one around! She is a sweet, kind woman, who is welcoming but does not seem to like physical touch.
Despite that, she is a joy to be around, and will be understanding, but it seems that she won't open up so easily...
She seems to handle everything that worries her well, but is that really the truth?
"Name": Sandrone
Age: Late 20s
If you ever get lost in the forest, rest assured that Sandrone will help you. Sandrone is not someone who loves to be around people, often being alone on the woods.
Even if he is considered "The town's hermit" and his cold and distant attitude, he is a very honest and caring man, even if he does not show it.
However, there may be a reason he wants to stay away from the others.
"Name": Columbina
Age: Mid 20s
Works in the town's cafe "Carnation Hills." She might seem to be a bit cold at first, but in reality, she is a calm woman who knows when to be mature and when to joke around.
She is the one who often prevents and controls any fights, specially between Arlecchino and Pierrot.
However, it doesn't seems like she knows how to help her own internal conflicts
"Name": Arlecchino
Age: Mid 20s
A hot headed man, direct and maybe a bit too honest, but despite that, he is a loyal and true friend, who will not doubt to say what goes in his mind.
Even if his attitude might be a bit intimidating to be around, deep down, he has a heart of gold and will know when he has done wrong.
But even so, it may be hard for him to control his anger eventually...

I love this game so so much! Pierrot is the best fr (edit: never mind I figured it out)
OH MY GOD AN UPDATE, I'LL BE TUNING IN
how to get the last photo of Pierrot because I thought I got it at the end, is it a secret one?
Hello! It seems the gallery is having an error, I'll be looking into it in my free time!
Wahh sorry i'm a little empty brained ^^;; How do you get alt route 2? I figured out how to get alt route 1 from looking through the comments -w-
Also alt route 3 if you can if that's ok
!! I think I figured out alt route 2 actually nvm yaaay
For the Alt Route 3 you have to first finish the "Scaramouche" Route (Where you look into the trashcan) and also continue the game normally.
When you get the chance to explore after Tartaglia runs away, keep an eye open for a special hidden item!
:(? I found the hidden item during Tartaglia's search but it's not leading to anything new, I got a new thing asking if I wanted to take the phone at the start of day 1 after finding the thing in the trashcan but I took it and it hasn't lead to anything. Tyvm for the help ^^;
Acabo de jugar la actualización y debo de decir que me encanto 10/10
Me alegra mucho escuchar eso <3
Wait, no, stop. I know the game said it had hella easter eggs, but the artist Guertena? Are we talking THE artist Guertena? The one from the rpg masterpiece that was Ib? Mah heart, mah soul…(ಥ◡ಥ)
All jokes aside, I was so shocked to see that. I haven’t heard anyone mention Ib in years
YESSS It was a reference to Ib! I LOVED Ib growing up <3
Next update will have other references to other iconic RPG maker games!
<3
Termine de jugar la demo, me pareció preciosa la historia y los personajes. Espero que se actualice pronto 💗💗💗
is the full game out or is this a demo only?
Only the demo
I think I must have spent 2 hours straight just trying out all the routes and Easter eggs in this game. And when I was done I felt compelled to immediately scroll through the entire tumblr looking for more
Pierrotcontent. This game quickly established itself as one of my favorite yandere vns! The length, unique cast of characters, variety of choices, interesting setting and nice visuals make this a very satisfying demo to play and gives a lot to enjoy and chew on! Just from the demo, I'm already invested. I'd highly recommend playing this game if you enjoy yanderes and shady, mysterious circumstances! I hope you enjoy it, and Pierrot (best boy), as much as I do! :)(Spoilers below)
The first thing I need to talk about is the characters. It was extremely unfair how quickly Pierrot endeared himself to me. His cute hairstyle, reassuring smile and trustworthy "I'm on your side" personality (carefully maintained to hide the full extent of his attachment) are all big hits with me. I had already lost the battle from the first moment I saw him, he can do whatever he wants with my car. Another thing I like from him is what I'd describe as subtle clinginess- or a pushiness that doesn't seem pushy. He is always in your space but it seems like he's good-naturedly doing you a favor and hanging out with you because you need him. There's some subtleties to his behavior that I didn't notice the first time I played. I didn't notice how lukewarm his reactions were when I chose to bring up or hang out with other characters, and how he'd smile when I refused others' company. I really like small details like that which I could easily miss if I didn't play a second time!
Before this just becomes a Pierrot review I must mention the other main characters. They all have distinct and unique personalities, which I think is great, and all of them are likeable! I like Columbina second best and Arlecchino is also cool, but I would be down to hang out with everyone. It's also cool how they all have established relationships with one another, which is very realistic. Since I am a drama enjoyer, I can't wait to see them all wrassle later on in the name of love and jealousy.
I really enjoy the setting! The fact that we're in an enclosed facility and have had our regular life upended introduces a forced reliance on other characters who may or may not be well-meaning, which causes a lot of interesting dynamics and tension. I like that the setting is different from your average town or city. Those are nice too! But places that are different with a different set of rules are extra exciting! I like the set up of the disease as well. I feel like it nicely explains why these yanderes are all grouped up together and why they will behave the way they do.
When it comes to choices, I felt like there were an appropriate amount of them! There were enough choices to make me feel involved and immersed in the story, and I liked replaying and choosing all the different ones to see what I could learn (I don't do that for every game). The fact that there are unlockable different routes even in the demo is pretty impressive!
I always like to mention length. Including all the routes and easter eggs, that's quite a lot of content! I did say I took a couple of hours to play through it all. I feel like this demo gave me a really good bite of the world and characters, and made me feel full and satisfied with the experience. Of course, I'm always eager to learn more, though.
There's a lot of CGs in this demo. A lot! I really wasn't expecting so many. If I'm not mistaken, every character has at least one CG, and I believe most of them have more than one. This game is chock full of art, and I know that must have taken a lot of work, not to mention all the story writing and programming on the side. Even the side characters have sprites and interactions, that just screams high-effort to me.
The last thing I have to say is that the creator deserves a lot of appreciation for their time and hard work on this game! Thank you for the experience! I'm desperately looking forward to more and I really want to see more Pierrot but I will be super patient and wait as long as it takes. Take care of yourself first!
AAA You're too kind!! Thanks for giving a detailed review ;-; I love these types of commentary!!
I'm so happy you liked it, I will do my best to make more content that you and many others will continue to enjoy! <3 Thanks for giving this game a chance!
No problem at all! I'm glad you're fine with my wordiness because I love to blab.
I really enjoyed your game! Thank you so much for making it. I'm super looking forward to future updates and I'll definitely play them ASAP, but take your time! Rather than giving games like these a chance, I feel like I'm the lucky one because I have a chance to play them :')
I wish you good luck with the development of the game and all of your future endeavors! :D
Will the full version be free?
Yeah! I plan on the full game to be completely free.
When I was young, a bunch of games I liked were free and in a way, that was sort of magical to me haha.
While the game is exclusive for adults, it feels right to do it free, unless something changes my mind.
However, The extra stories and such will not be free, but this won't be the case for the main game.
if you dont mind me asking, what will the extra stories include/entail?
Well, to be fair, there are two categories for future games related to PS
Spin offs and Extra Content.
The spin offs will be free and will not be as complex as Predator's Syndrome and the Extra content, and will have stories about characters that don't appear or aren't a main focus in the game.
The Extra content, it's going to have stories related to the Love Interests. Such as how their lives are with the MC after the Good Ending and (Currently being developed) an NSFW Expansion that, like the name suggests, will have adult content of the main 5
Only the Extra Content won't be free. I don't know how much they will be, but, at least the NSFW Expansion will be above 10 USD because of how complex it is.
I hope I was able to clear up your doubts!
Yes! thank you so much for taking time to answer :)
great game!! i love the name easter eggs where you can learn a bit about their past.. kinda funny(creepy) when the game kicked me out when i tipped "Scaramouche" or the smile from Dottore idk maybe it way a bit creepy because i play it at night :,)and i also love the story it's interesting,i actually like everyone so far but my favs. are Pierrot and Tartaglia (even when he betrayed me and left me in that one route that brat:c)
i can't wait for more <3
This a really great game, I can’t wait to see what the story will bring in the future. Through I can’t help but wonder, when Pierrot ask my name, I got the response as saying my name means the noble one, I also tried out several other names, but none of them get the special response, so I am really curious why?
Ahh! Yeah, haha, those are easter eggs, I put the name of some of my friend's OCs and made Pierrot say something different regarding that!
You and my friend's OCs share the same name and that's why it reacted like that.
I think eventually, I'll reveal those other easter eggs haha.
Man the world is actually so small. This easter egg really add up so much fun!
You're so sweet!
Yeah, I totally encourage you to do research about it, it's amazing how many things you can learn and how the modern times still use it as a reference!
Thank you so much for giving this game a chance!!
TOBY
superrrr interesting omg!!! pierrot supremacy
jst a quick question anyone know how 2 get Rosaura's 2nd CG?? I like collecting images of my favorite silly girl ^_^ (totally wasnt struggling for hours on it or something..)
So sorry for the late response!!
To get her second cg, after you have Sandrone's first event and after Pierrot says "I hope your day was enjoyable" You have to pick the option that talks about Rosaura.
Continue the game as normal until Pierrot asks you if you want to go back to the apartment with him, you have to say no and take a walk on your own.
There game should remember your answer and start a special event with Rosaura.
Ohh thank you!! Restarted and struggled a few times to completion but im loving the story and art so far btw keep it up !! :3
I'm just starting to play it, but it's really wonderful! I loved absolutely everything and now I am completely in love with Pierrot..
just started playing it !! love the genshin references lmaoo first i was like huh this has to be a coincidence but then i just found it funny <33
Well...it's more of a reference to la Commedia Dell'arte if you're talking about the names haha, since the fatui and these characters both share the same name as characters from that Italian Commedy!
But PS doesn't have such a complex and worked lore as Genshin has LOL.
Maybe I will make references to Genshin, maybe! We'll see~!
Thanks for playing!
ahh makes sense!! sorry that i just assumed it was genshin only :( the games really cool and refreshing!! can’t wait for more <33
This was so much fun!! i love all the characters (especially arlecchino and pierrot) so much! i've found a couple of the easter eggs and i'm having a lot of fun trying to find more. can't wait to see what more comes of this game. good luck with future updates!!! <3
Ohhhh, this is so so good! I love the game so much, though I think it would benefit lots by a more through proof-reading. Can't wait for the full release!
Ahh yeah, I think I know what you mean! English is not my first language, so sorry for any inconvienence!
I'm totally open on hearing suggestions!
I'm very happy to know you liked the game!
Hmmm, if you'd like some help with that I can proof-read it for you! I'm quite proficient in writing, teee-heee
I feel a bit stupid but, can someone tell me how to get the Alternate Rute 1? I've been trying and I got every other picture, but I don't know what to do anymore...
Don't worry! It's not stupid at all!
To get Alternate Rute 1, When you have the chance to explore to your room, take it and check the kitchen very carefully, there's a hidden button
After you have done that, continue the game as normal until after the scene with Rosaura. There will be another option besides exploring the town.
Thank you soo much! I was so excited reading the story that I didn't even pause to think about that possibility... Now that I've played all of it I have to say this is absolutely one of my new favorites. You have my thanks and my devotion to your work.
Really liked the art and the characters, but I loved the take on what means to be a "yandere" here, I admit I played a lot of games with that kind of characters but you surprised me with the story and the documents that we can read to know more and all.
And yes, after playing the Alternate Routes 1 & 2 I still love him (honestly, he got me at breakfast, i'm pretty easy to please haha)
Take care and we'll be waiting patiently <3
Arlecquino será mi ruta 😦🧡
Gracias por el juego, espero que más gente lo conozca, se lo merece
I just played the alternate route and in LOVE with this game!!! i can't wait for the full release! <3
i love it! thank u for creating the game. i really like pierrot <3
>3> will there be good ending this is really good :O
There will be good endings! I just have to code them when the game is done > <~!
So glad you enjoyed the demo!
