I liked this. You got me to feel sympathy for her. Also the art is really great.

tomsmizzle 2012-12-18 01:13

Oh no! So mean!

I feel like this game succeeded in making me feel like a jerk, and was quite enjoyable, so good work

cardboard 2012-12-18 04:41

I don't want to be a jerk anymore!

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-18 09:37

Wonderful pacing. This is too good. Why am I an evil fox I don't want to be an evil fox ahhhh *SOB*

Nice work!

UGH. I feel like crap, now! I had options to "do nothing" but I was so curious to see what would happen I just kept on being a jerk. That whole back and forth kinda of thing in my head made me feel really uneasy about all of it. You did a good job getting me to feel true emotions, and that's not too easy with a simple 48 hour game. The art is beautiful as usual!

rhy3756547 2012-12-18 20:32

This was really, really good.

zompi 2012-12-18 20:34

Wow... Jerk simulator. The best villains are always children (ew. young people), they can be cruel. Like the story and art, really cool.

awppy 2012-12-18 20:37

Visual novels really aren't my thing, but there's a nice amount of diversity to what you can do for a quick little game! I think I lack the emotional attachment to appreciate it, though

Only the top right quarter of the window is rendering on 64bit Xubuntu :(

shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-18 21:09

Ha ha ha! I wanted to be nice, but it just felt so good being mean! Full theme points for you! Cheers!

One of my favorites out of a 100 or so. Really cohesive graphics. It was interesting that the player character had a distinct personality.

killmonday 2012-12-19 15:14

Cool!

angrygeometry 2012-12-19 20:20

i really love your games bentosmile. this one is great.

pierrec 2012-12-20 11:43

You made me feel SOOO bad! You're even meaner than me/her!

ahmed-majd 2012-12-20 13:43

i just loved the game, a nice story i trid to do differents choices trying to reach the end

bneutral 2012-12-23 03:08

Poor girl!

infin8 2012-12-23 16:34

Really great! Interesting how it forces you to be a either a villian or a nonchalant bystander, I think I've seen all 3 endings alr.

fishbrain 2012-12-28 06:29

Good work! Nice graphics.

puzzlem00n 2012-12-28 18:33

Wow. I've got to tell you, this really made me look back at some of the girls I know. This is a visual novel, so I can't really give you a good/bad breakdown, because literature is so much more subjective. All I can say is great work.

dr_soda 2012-12-29 05:48

Wow, that was very well played. At (almost) every point I had the option not to do something terrible, but because the game is what it is of course the sense of exploration demanded that I do.

Eventually I decided to stop being a jerk and back out of every opportunity to be hurtful. Though the ending was completely anticlimactic, it was possibly the best ending to a game I've seen in the competition so far.

mikemacdee 2012-12-29 09:42

the lack of audio made the text much more effective (nice graphics too). overall a fascinating little game. really gives the player a taste of how little a person's feelings mean to a bully.

arkadydracul 2012-12-29 11:14

It's new, nice game! Really!

atkinssj 2012-12-29 11:51

I could only play two days. I realised that the player character was going to make Anne's life miserable, and I couldn't be responsible for doing so... which is interesting, I think. Well done!

van-merwan 2012-12-29 14:42

I'm not used to visual novels but I sure like this one. :)
Got four different endings.

superdisk 2012-12-29 16:13

This is one of the better games. I dunno what "Vixen" or the fox means though but whatever, still a very cool game.

gungnir 2012-12-29 17:51

I just taught Anne a valuable lesson.

(Awesome work with this!)

Jeremias 2012-12-29 19:12

Good job!

Some music would be nice... and don't put "close the game" on the right mouse button, please :D

jlauener 2012-12-30 13:03

Very nice entry. One of the nicest I played. After playing I really feel like I'm the villain :/

volute 2012-12-30 19:35

Great game ! I like now you can not be the villain if you want even if the dialogs (and the induced curiosity to know what happens if...) strongly encourage it.

soupy 2012-12-31 01:10

Excellent art and use of theme. You don't need an Armageddon weapon or minions to be a villain.

bentog 2013-01-01 21:26

Bah, I hate being evil :( This game is great, it makes the player feel bad for its own actions.

goerp 2013-01-01 21:35

Haven't seen this take on the theme, very good!
I was the villain, but in the end didn't like it at all.
Graphics looked perfect for the game as well.

zenmumbler 2013-01-01 22:12

That was horrible. I'm going to cry in a corner now. Bravo, I guess.

madpew 2013-01-02 08:34

I don't like VN, but I really enjoyed this one. Good job on the story and the graphics. Well done.

superfluid 2013-01-02 12:02

Very emotive, excellent presentation and an interesting progression - I even enjoyed the ending. Some plunky piano wouldn't have gone amiss but it was really polished and enjoyable (if that's the word!)

feili 2013-01-02 23:31

that changed from destroying the world and killing people with goats!

georgebroussard 2013-01-03 10:04

Was interesting. Are there multiple outcomes or anything? I ended up just feeling bad but not bad enough to be friends with her. I kept waiting on escalating bullying until Anne killed herself, or something to really drive the point home. Good stuff.
