I honestly love the soundtrack and artwork in this game. 10/10 gameplay! Keep up the good work.

I don't know what I expected from this game but this wasn't it. I'd be surprised if the author didn't have a degree in psychology, every detail is so thought out and the game is so well made. The beautiful art shocked me, the backgrounds were so captivating it really lured you into their world. I'm so intrigued by the world building and unique characters..need to know more about 3456 I have so many unanswered questions! 10/10 demo, cant wait for the full game<33

Honestly, this game is quite different from the types I usually play and enjoy. I thought some of the elements were outside my comfort level. Yet, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I found myself fully immersed in the story. The characters are so genuine and relatable. Thanks for putting your heart into this and looking forward to your future instalments!

This game is so fricken good! I'm purely in LOVE with Montae, he is stunning...i wish i could give him a hug! (im 20 so i couldnt kiss him)

I've literally never came across a game this good in a really long time. The characters, the storytelling, the mini games. Everything was perfect. I truly felt immersed in that world. This is a hidden gem, I'm glad that I got to play it before it becomes "Mainstream", because I'm positive that it will one day.

It is so amazing

The art style is great and I love the characters. The attention to detail is great too (ie the hands in front thing). It's dark yet hopeful. Was slightly surprised at the size of the age gap but intriguing anyhow..

pls make it on mac soon!!

woa

As much as I love Shining Immortal this game somehow manages to be even better. The minigames were fun, and I'm interested in the worldbuilding and lore that is hinted at here. It was also fun to see another side to Miss 3456 (her otaku side) and Monate is a very compelling character. Can't believe these games are made by one person, they feel incredibly polished and basically professional in quality. Can't wait to play the rest of the game!

請問遊戲之後會有中文版嗎?我的英文很差,只靠手機翻譯,遊玩非常的困難

(+1)

中文版请去steam搜索《black box lss》!下载游戏后右键游戏属性,选择中文就可以了!这里的非英语玩家非常少,所以多语言就专注于steam平台了

are there 2 endings of this demo? I only have the ending of "Worse than death" and got picked up by a male scientist, if there's another one how can I get to it?

(+3)(-1)

After entering this ending, you’ll be asked if you want to return to the previous choice. Then, pick up the phone, and you’ll reach the true ending.

We're all love your game !!

ok i jus finished shining immortal, i think merciful savior male lead >>>>> is rather shining immortal male lead.

wow hace tiempo no jugaba algo de este tipo y la verdad Monate ahora vive en mi cabeza (sin pagar alquiler lol). La historia y el arte es simplemente como un "boom" visual.

gracias por crearme una nueva obsesión y espero que este listo pronto :D

Thank you!

so good....... really good TT

This was seriously SO GOOD. the best i've played so far, so original!!!!!! With how complete the story is, it didn't even feel like a demo at all. Even the characters, mostly the woman. She's not your typical fl, which makes the story much more interesting. I also liked the option in which you can go back to your previous choice and change it, saves you the pain of having to go through your saves and stuff. Usually, with games, i take little breaks in between to leave a comment or simply do something else, but with this one, i played without rest. The story was just so well-written it was hard to look away. Also, i really liked that you added mini games. Can't wait for the game to be finished. Btw how many 'endings' does it have so far? I only got two, the one in which he's sold to a weird guy and the other where he manages to reach the phone. Is it only these two, or is there more? given the course of the story, i doubt it, but i'd still like to know.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the demo and found it engaging. For now, the demo has only the two endings you mentioned. Thanks again for your support!

this looks promising

I played this expecting a decent game to waste time but I have been blessed with a masterpiece and the fact this is only the demo... I'm sobbing and can't wait for the full release. By far the best vn i have ever played. I'm in love. Don't even get me started on the character design, plot, AND THE ARTT especially for Monate. I'm stopping myself before I rant, anyways this is amazing and keep up the good work I am now a loyal follower. bowing down as we speak...

(+1)

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled to hear that you like it! I'll finish this work as soon as possible!

(+2)

This was such a good read for me! I enjoyed the game through and through especially the art in the game was super polished and amazing and I love Monate as a character too I hope you finish the game because I will definitely wait for however long it takes!!!! no pressure btw GREAT GAME!!!!!

(+3)

Thank you for your appreciation of the game. I will definitely complete it!

I'm honestly blown away by how well-written this is. You have clearly thought everything through, and the result is absolutely brilliant. A small part of me fantasized about the story being made into a film with the aesthetic of Blade Runner - I could totally see the story having that vibe and it drew me in further, the details made it super easy for my imagination to immerse myself into the gameplay. I'll be telling my friends to try this game immediately - I can't wait for the rest to be released!

true it mostly reminds me of "kite 1998" and "ghost in the shell 1995"

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it and appreciate your support!

Its so good and I absolutely loved it! I hope to get future updates for the full release....

Thank you! I will work hard to complete it!

this game is absolutely amazing. the art is impeccable and very expertly made, the writing is charming. monate and 3456 are an amazing pair and i love their designs!!! this deserves MUCH MUCH more attention. i love how everytime i look at monate i'm confused by his eye tattoos, hehe.

Thank you for your praise!! I feel like I've gained a lot of motivation to complete it!
