Reiko

Hey Eroraen!

It’s been two years since I played Koko, and today I played Reiko. Koko was a game that welled up emotions I never thought I was capable of feeling. The story, music, ambience, art, and most of all the characters were simply perfect. And while Reiko’s ending resonated a little less with me, I was not disappointed at all with the game. In fact, it made me remember the things I loved about Koko

Your style of game design is something that touches the depths of my soul. Perhaps it is overdramatic of me to say such things but to me it  is incredibly real.  If I had to describe the feeling, it would be like stumbling upon an object that feels nostalgic but you know for sure you’ve never seen it before. In a more concrete sense, I guess it’s a bittersweet feeling that I find solace and tranquility in. 

Sometimes I feel that the things I feel-passion, love, anger-are somewhat fake. Not in a way that I don’t feel emotions but in a way that they dissipate in such a short span of time that it feels wrong. However, the emotions I felt from Koko have stuck to me over the years and have given me confidence that I’m not some unfeeling robot.

I’m sorry for rambling, I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t stop making games. You probably didn’t plan on stopping but please please continue your work. There is something about your games that brings forth true feelings and emotions. This aching I feel in my chest is proof of that.

Thank you, Eroraen

P.S I will literally cry tears of joy if you make a happy family ending for Reiko Please consider it!!!!

so miroku was the best girl all the time?

Not reading the comments, it's time to Rizz this creature up, it's show time for senpai 😘😔

Before I say my peace I just want to say that I absolutely love the Koko series, especially the first game and it's story. The true good ending to it was absolutely perfect. That being said Reiko is a fantastic game visually, and the graphic upgrade from the first is phenomenal as well. The thing that I can honestly say that I don't like is the way the story ends. I personally think that there should be a true good end like there was in the first game. Don't get me wrong I love that the horror elements are even more previlant in this game, but it really bums me out that there wasn't that true good ending. All in all, that's just my opinion though haha love your games.  I guess I'll just have to hope for a true good end being added one day 🤣

Miroku was such an angel, shame we cannot interact with her more in the canon ending or see more about her powers. 

Great game. It's a good sequel to Koko and I'm loving the yandere, monster girl vibe this series is going with. I recommend trying this game if you enjoyed Koko or like yanderes.

*SPOILERS*
The ending has a tragic twist. You're in the shoes of both a father and husband, but sadly you're not able to protect your family no matter what you do, this would crush any man's spirit and if there's a sequel I think Seiichi will likely be depressed, still grieving his loss.

The great thing about the ending is despite the tragedy, I was left with a sense of mystery and I don't really know what happened or why things played out as they did. Could those events have been avoided? Perhaps by sending Reiko to Pascal's place to spend the night then send her off to a boarding school for half humans in the morning? Was Koko right to warn us of Reiko because the children of her species are a threat to their parents and only she knew that? Or is it that Reiko learned something she shouldn't have and it turns out Koko is so possessive of Seiichi that she'll eliminate anyone just to keep him to herself even if that means killing her own child? Perhaps both scenarios are true? Sadly you cannot sacrifice yourself to save both of them to defy their question.

I truly do not know. This is an ending that left me with more questions than answers the only thing I know for certain is that Koko tried to tell Seiichi that she wasn't human but he refused to listen when he really should have listened, to try to understand her and the situation better. Had he done that it may of been possible to save his family and keep it in one piece.

I would like to see a third installment of Koko so that I may learn the answers to some of these questions and to see where the story goes. If it turns out that Koko really is so possessive of Seiichi that she will eliminate anyone to have him then I wonder what his options will be in the sequel or if he will learn to accept his wife for what she is?

All I know is that I hope this won't be the last we hear of Koko.
I also want to thank the developer for taking the time to make an English version to your games, I enjoy them and I wish you success!

Buenas noches me gustaría ver un final feliz ¿Sería posible? O ¿Ya existe y hay que ser ingenioso?

buenas noches señor, acudo a usted en estos comentarios por si acaso es un fallo, advierto antes de nada para cualquier lector de que esto contiene spoiler.

El caso es que el qr que hay no me lo detecta y he probado ya de distintas maneras, no sé cual es el problema y la curiosidad ya me empieza a matar por dentro ¿podría ayudarme?

Okay so, i created an account to post this comment (Also to follow the dev and start interacting more with Itch.io).
Spoilers (Maybe, i am writing this in the moment)

This is probably far enough away.

Koko was an intersting game, it fullfield this nieche of monster-girl + yandere + self-insert low-effort romance. So it was a feel-good experience that started with a low-horror ambience that eventually turns itself into romance.

I was expecting Reiko to be the same, but the structure ended up being the exact opposite, starting with this lovelly couple worried with their child's buberty and ending on... that...

I don't want to embelish this review, the ending was a mixed bag, my main problem wasn't the fact that it's sad regardles, but how out of Seiichi's control it was, even though he does stuff (Such as taking Koko to a date and Conecting with his daughter), it feels like his countributions are just "Existing". 

I feel like there was potential to expand a little bit, maybe Koko telling you to stop interacting with Reiko's accusations, and actually being able to see the evidence that Reiko wants to show you, having the option to do what Koko told you and reject said evidence or take it into consideration and talk / interrogate Koko about it. If you choose to reject it, Reiko's ending happens because Seiichi didn't belive in her (And you directly demonstrated that to her), like she says in her ending. If you choose to confront Koko, her ending happens because you didn't listen to her (And demonstrated this to her directly). Basically: i want Seiichi to have a bigger influence in his life.

I don't want to make it sound like i didn't like the story, it was good enough to make me feel like writing a review for once.

The art was pretty decent, it is a step up from Koko, which already had good art, Koko's design  threw me off at the start (Manly thanks to her straighter chins making her already long head seem even longer) but i got used to it.

The translation is janky at times, but nothing i couldn't understand, i think i will replay it in spanish at some point to see if i missed something

I was innitially disapointed that there wasn't a happy ending in the extras, even if it wasn't cannon, but then i realized i was worng and there is a good ending, and all i had to do was use Best Girl's name in the extras menu. For real, i am really happy to see some news on Miroku, also really happy to see that both her ending and her Note's entry imply there is more to her, do i smell a follow up game on her?

Really pissed Pascal didn't get a little story in the extra, my boy was done dirty.

jesus christ why did it have to be this way oh my god.

Extreme spoilers btw
                                                 

tactical space to avoid spoilers

As soon as Koko asked the first question i felt like that was a sort of "Sophie's choice" question, and the game really did not skip a beat going directly to the punch with the ending. The integration of the troubling first question into the delightful and sedating romantic antics was good, and i only really considered the possibility of it being a major sort of Chehkov's gun when Reiko asked me the similar question

Around the time of the date i was really considering the possibility that Reiko would run away, and something along the lines of a cliched wild Goose chase would manifest (with a tragic ending.), and i must say that i am happy that was not how it played out.

The nightmare, prior to its reveal, gave me an extremely similar impression to that of the moment in a danganronpa game where you, the player, already know something is dreadfully wrong, and that a character is most likely dead, but you must press on for the sake of the protagonist's enlightenment to this fact.

 While i'm sure a part of all of us wished and do wish for a secret "they get therapy" ending, i understand the reasoning between the mutually terrible parallel endings.

If i were to put something like that in though, it would be a secret third ending that occurs when you wait too long on the screen where you select who to trust, or perhaps for a reveal of some dramatic lore as the camera creeps up the unidentified person's arm.  (maybe it would be the super terrible "everyone dies, are you happy you found this secret ending?" ending).

In regards to the graphics, they, along with the animations, were of stellar quality.

Life often is just sudden like that in its tragedies, and i feel like this is a good representation of that. 

good game (sorry if this review is incoherent rambling im writing this an hour after playing it at 3am)

me ha encantado esta última obra y el que sigas metiendo cosas que tienen que ver con tus anteriores obras animando a leerlas también, estoy impaciente por tu próxima novela, cada vez te superas más de una forma más que significativa. Suerte con tu próxima obra, la leeré sin duda alguna y como con las anteriores, investigaré a fondo todos los finales que pueda para disfrutarla al máximo :)

(Spoiler)I'm not gonna lie after playing KoKo fully the curveball at the end when you chose to side with Koko completely shocked me. I Didn't expect anything like that at all. Then going back and seeing when you sided with reiko also shocked me. You are amazing at creating twist , Great stories!

(Spoilers)

This might be a random question, but when Rebeca's using your name, what exactly is it getting it from? Is it getting it from your Windows username or is it something else? 

Any H content in this game..?

Loved it! Great artwork and music. Sadly enough, i feel that Seiichi lacks personality, he is pretty dull to me. Sometimes he makes a nice point, but most of the time i tend to question his actions. Maybe i missed the point? By no means i want to lecture, but imo it would better to sacrifice some time to make better writing (in terms of actions, events, choices, etc). Nevertheless, your games are gems, that is for sure. Waiting for updates on your new project, take your time.

I finished both reiko and koko story.

Man,why just why u have to make this so sad.It's really hard to chose.

Is there any chance,plz make a story we all will be happy🥺.

(Now,This is my one of best visual novel game)

To be honest it feels like anything can come out of left field after seeing what happens in ‘Void of Desire’ it feels like the Demi-Humans have more a perception of longing than of love.

Still amazing animations really made the characters feel alive, and I really love playing through your games, the romance always feels sweet, even if the endings may be traumatic.

is this end for koko or are u planing to make koko 3 or smt?

what does codes do? and can someone tell me the codes pls

Damn you are making these games so fast its incredible, I really appreciate the amount of effort you put in making games, for anyone that didn't, you should really try the codes for the extras in the down right of the game menu they give you short continuations of the Rebeca and Miroku stories, the animations and the close up shots were really good tho I liked the design of the original koko too, the black screen bug is annoying but bearable. Maybe a sequel for dear Rebeca too. xd

SPOILERS

I am not going to lie the fact that there is no good ending is just bad I feel like no one wanted the sequel to end that way, a life is still good kinda sequel, a sequel with an obvious bad choices for a bad ending, one with both bad and good endings or one with any good ending would have been way better, instead there are 2 endings that are both bad, unsatisfying and where the mc loses everything, you could have made a situation where one of them dying was inevitable and have the mc choose between them and it wouldn't feel so bad, sad to see the story end this way. :(

Hope you continue making games tho :D
