Hi, im not sure if you still respond to comments but i need help, i've been trying to get runaway lovers but im only getting broken promise or truth revealed, does emma's boyfriend has any effect on the route ? Or i need an certain stat for that ? I've already maximize trust and management a few times with the affectionate trait yet still nothing...Sorry for the mistakes.

Hi there, Runaway Lovers requires low Management. The rest of it's requirements are the same as Truth Revealed.

Sorry this is going to be long haha. (slight spoilers may be included)

First of all, thank you so much for making this game! I was ecstatic when I noticed that this was out because I played Halloween Otome a year ago (I think?) - I really enjoyed that too btw - and I took a break from otome games cos of school TT_TT I think I was aware of the sequel being in the works, but I only got around to finally hunting otome games down once again a few days ago haha.

Anyways, I really love this gameee how will I ever move on from it ahhhughgbuhinij- no seriously though, it really is wonderfully made. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was about Em's best friend instead of Em again (I dunno why, I guess I didn't really read the game info the first time cos I was excited and just went ahead and downloaded it XD). I love all of the characters and their personalities so much. I also loved how you still showed the characters from Halloween Otome (Tyler is still such a cutie omg). 

The bachelors are all vastly different from each other, their personalities, their background, their hobbies, etc. and I absolutely adore it. This is the kind of game I like because I don't have to spend like half the game skipping through lines that I've already read because each bachelor's route is reeallyy different from each other. Each route presents different characters and problems. I also like how depending on which guy you chose Emma to have ended up with, you get different honeymoon spots! ^^ (Rayner crossdressing tho <3)

Other than the characters, I especially adore the game's music, especially the opening/ending song. I applaud Tyler Thompson for that <3 The background music really changed according to the situation being presented and it suits the mood -I may or may not have teared up every time Mira gets married to one of the bachelors- Seriously, I adored "All Eyes on Me" (assuming that's the title) so much to the point that I wrote down the lyrics by ear because I wanted to sing along to it every time I hear it. 

Every time Mira gets married though, I do tear up a little cos it feels like I'm a mother giving Mira away even though I'm not?? I don't know I guess I'm so touched every time like whenever the transition's done and I see Mira in her wedding getup I just stare at her lil sprite in the lower left corner and just admire her, "omg she looks so beautiful."  Of course, I also admire her more with one of the bachelors right beside her in the CG. Speaking of which, may I just say that the CGs are so good? Like seriously they are so gooood, especially the CGs of the individual bachelors in the prologue because it made me anticipate their routes. The sprites are also beautiful too, they don't look awkward or stiff, they have the right body proportions! Not only that, I like the colors of everything in the game.

I enjoyed that lil scene for Kaiser at the end, is this a sneak peek of what I could look forward to in the future, I wonder?

Throughout the game, I was only disheartened by the fact that I had mistakenly thought that Daire would have two happy endings... he didn't. TT_TT I was really expecting that the last ending listed for Daire was the really, really happy one but I was unfortunately mistaken </3

Anyways omg, this ended up being wayy longer than I expected I'm sorry, but now I've let out all my feelings for the game ^^' Thank you so much for making this game once again, and I'm looking forward to your games in the future! <3

omg I love this game so much and I really need more Rayner in my life

Can I please have a Rayner route DLC X3

Will you be making a cheat at all? Like some sort of code to max out stats? 

Also wanted to say that I love your games! Your stories are amazing. Halloween otome was one of my faves when I played it years ago, and this one was just as amazing. I will continue to support your amazing work!

Thank you very much for your kind words! It's always encouraging to hear that people enjoy our games! We have a poll regarding our next game if you're interested in that.

The traits are pretty much in-game cheats. For instance, with "Relaxed" it's quite trivial to max out all stats by the end of the game. The main reason we don't want to make pure cheats is that it could very easily break the game logic.

I loved your game,It's so cute

This game lags a lot for me. When I load, save, rollback, etc., the game lags very badly. I have a gaming laptop and it runs windows 8.  :/ Wish there was a fix or something for this. It's only this renpy game.

Try shift+G and switching the options there?

Alternatively, try asking on the lemmasoft forum with your logs and full specifications so we can try to help as this may be something specific to your system and the current ren'py version.

it does not let me advance

This may be a topic better tackled in the VO thread on the lemmasoft forums as we'd require logs and full system specs as well as a more in depth explanation of the issue before we can diagnose the issue.

I have 2 questions.

1. Why is Landon against marriage?
2. If I get the first dance ending with Landon's epilogue will something special happen between him and Emma at the wedding?

1. He's not against marriage in general so much as himself getting married. Marriage is a commitment he doesn't feel he's ready for. It's easy enough to say you're going to date a person for the foreseeable future, but actually living with them and committing to spending your life with them is harder. Plus he knows he's hard to be with and it's less messy to have his girlfriend leave him than a wife. It's not something he wants to rush.

Also, the fact that children are likely to come after marriage scares him. Unlike Erik, he's in no hurry to start a family.

2. Not at the wedding, no. There's an extra scene available from the extras menu if you've seen a specific late game scene with him though. It shows him slowly starting to get over his reluctance to commit. 

Okay, got it. Thank you! Love both games by the way. Will there be another sequel?

We have plans, but we'd rather not say anything until a later stage because we learnt that lesson with VO. 3 years from demo to release was a long time to keep people in suspense.

For starters, I love this game!!! xxx I need help, though! I'm stuck on getting the "Early Exit", but have already completed "Broken Promise" and "Sunken Ship". Any hints or tips?!  Also, I can't seem to get "Runaway Lovers" end either >.< SOS

(1 edit)

Use the affectionate trait and max trust for Runaway Lovers.

Keep affection and trust low for Early Exit

More specific help can be found in the guide.

So I wanted to throw out a little tip for anyone playing, 

Place 'Go to Bar' in Wednesday and Friday. You'll note that if you don't have any of the traits unlocked, the go to bar W and F set up will get you really far without the stress penalties. Just switch the days off if you make it past the vacation time.

I've managed almost all endings, and getting 150 in all the skills (minus stress but that's out of a 100) and still manage maxing out the main skill needed, and trust for the bachelor involved.

ok first of, i really love this game! It is an amazing story, amazing charachters and just everything is great, but i can see like many others i have a problem with getting the good end with Zane even if i max out trust and management and take the right affectionate choices it gives me only "of course it was and yes but not right away" I Had Landon as Emmas lover but dont know if that plays a role? So well should i just try again and not max them out cause it seems like on the guide that they should be lover or is that just me? 


Love the game, but please help 😂

Getting the option for "Yes - but not right away" means affection is not high enough. The usual culprit here tends to be the birthday choice because it changes depending on current affection level and if affection is not high enough by this point you will lose out on the chance for another affection boost. 

The easiest to get the right end is to simply replay with the affectionate trait. Alternatively you can replay with the guide and ensure you have 9 affection points by the end of the game.

I get this option too, I get the trait affectionate , I get the Astute achiviment with scarf , but yet i get the two choises, "Of couse.."  and "Yes- but not...."

I get all choices ritghs, i started one new game, because the firts time i choose the firts choice wrong, but my game finished like this

My status is full almost all, But trust and the other fo Zane route.

What i am did wrong? This in my second time

Weird thing, so I choose "Of course"  I get he Broken Promise. And So loaded my save and the choices changed. 

This is strange because it implies that your affection somehow changed when you loaded the save.

I'm unable to recreate it, so I can't be sure what's causing it.

Lucky i think?

So anyway, i loved the game <3 thank for this amazing game. 

I'll play a third time, with Tyler with Ems. 

Oh and Thanks for attention <3 ~kiss

(1 edit)

hey!! I really love your game!! I have a problem, though. Trust is at 300, management too, but I always end up getting the "Broken Promise" ending. The only choices I have with Zane near the end, are "absolutely" and "yes but not now". I don't know if I chose something wrong, but the guide only has the stats I have to raise, not the choices I have to make. Is it a bug, or am I simply doing something wrong? 
+ Ι tried not maxing trust and management and leaving them at 280 or 290 but still, not working. 
Choises were:
Do nothing (-> not stopping him from bidding for Daire on that auction)
Asking Emma when she's going to get married (though kinda irrelevant) 
Going to a cafe (on vacation) 
Spending the day with Zane (also on vacation) 
an XXX gift (somehow it was the least selfish, jewellery were for her and scarf too cheap)
Refuse to go (when she spraint her ankle)
I also kinda raised other stats too, since I had raised trust and management early and thought it a good idea to raise design and social skill)
Emma is with Erik

Hi. The affection guide tab in the guide has a list of all choices and the effect they have.

From what I'm seeing, it seems like you messed up on the choices. You can try using the affectionate trait to give you a boost or follow the guide.

The affection requirement for "Broken Promise" is actually lower than that of the better endings and I've modified the guide to reflect that.

Ohh.... well, oops.
Now I get it, and the guide seems fine now! For some reason I could only see the general guide but now it's perfect. Thank you so much for your answer, I'll go finish it. Again, let me tell you how much I love your game. There are many fascinating characters and I'm looking forward to exploring more stories of yours, when they come out.

Hi, I love your game, I wanted to mention I came across a bug that happens really really rarely and I've only seen it when managing the boutique. 

You will sometimes not get the points added to your stats, and again, I've seen this happen only four or five times through my playthrough (I'm at the second interval for Zane's PoV because I want all his endings so I am working my booty off to get them).
I though the info would help you out should you make any updates, or continue your journey to make a stat raising otome which I would love to see done!

(+1)(-1)

i am playing it, and a little doubt get me, which status for each character?

I mean Zane is managent  right?

And the others?

(+1)

Daire - > Design

Kiron - > Social

Further help can be found in the guide.

Thank you very much  (^_−)☆

This game is amazing! I already loved HO and this is even better! I know I'll never be able to get all the scenes and dialogues, though, because I love Erik too much to put Emma with anyone else! I've played Daire so far and he was amazing and then I played Zane and I loved him a ton too and now I'm working on Kiron and what a relief that there's actually some early-installment kindness going on! He's sweet. I was curious about something that happens on Erik's getaway. I've gotten the dinner or the party at various points but I'm not sure what causes one to trigger over the other and which one is a better outcome. I would think the dinner would be but the boyfriend's POV scene happens with the party.

Erik's getaway is based on your Management skill.

The party is the better outcome for Mira because her husband actually reacts to it and tries to comfort her in his own way.  During the dinner sequence there is no strengthening of her relationship.

I really like this game! So thank you very much for creating it.
I was hoping if you (or anyone else) could maybe help me get the "First dance" ending with Daire. The only thing I know is that I have to not get blocked when I have to enter Daires company - something about meeting a person?  
I would really appreciate if you could help me >_<

You will get blocked irrespective of which end you're on.

The important part is to meet his requirements before you are blocked.

Oh!! Thank you!

Hi i'm a fan of the game just having a bit of a problem getting any other ending than Broken Promise for Zane , wondering what i'm doing wrong. i maxed out management and trust as well as got all the affection choices.

This sounds like you might be making the wrong choice at the very end.

When the final choice is shown, choosing to leave him ("Of course it was!") will give you Broken Promise even if you have the right stats. 

 Choose "Absolutely Not!" instead. 

thanks for replying so quick, but the absolutely option isn't popping up at all.

That's interesting. This might be better to move to the Synokoria Forums for ease of answering.

As it is, do you get any option at all? If not that implies something is wrong with your trust. If you get "No, it wasn't." that implies your management isn't high enough. But you've maxed both. Can you try loading from a save and playing up to the ending without maxing them but getting them above 250?

thanks i'll try that out and if that fails i'll tell you more about it on the forums

Hello~ To start, I really want to thank you for Valentines Otome. I had been waiting for this ever since it was released as a demo and I really appreciate all the hard work you've done for VO. I loved its overall concept and all the bachelors (with more points to Daire but oh well, the adorbs penguin). Also, I enjoyed actually exhausting all the options I can do within the game as well as get all the achievements, extra scenes, traits, and even all the endings (nevermind, how I spent sleepless nights just to get through the whole of VO). It made me love Mira more and treasure her (the precious baby). I also appreciate the fact that we get to see the guy's point of view at every route. It lets one really see into them and see how they view Mira. 

I can also say that VO is really a huge step from HO and will be my most favorite otome game out of all the others I've played so far. It was a huge roller coaster of emotions, fun, and all the sides a character can offer. For that, I don't regret ever picking this up and playing through everything. (Sidenote: Can't shake the feeling that this also contains quite the prelude to an Osiria story, which might be the next one? I might be wrong but it's a fun theory.)

Anyways, lastly, thank you so much for making VO and I really really appreciate all the efforts and love poured into it. Please keep up the amazing work and thank you for the wonderful experience :D

Thank you for your kind words!

We will be releasing a Fan Book of VO eventually. 

We'd hoped to release one with VO, but time got away from us.

will you guys be answering some trivia about the game as well like you did for halloween otome? and it looks like we'll be getting another otome in the future possible (hopefully!) for osiria/siyan?

We'll answer the questions we get unless they spoil future games, yes.

And we'll also be releasing a Fan Book for the game at a later stage.

Regarding an Osiria game, yes, but that's a while in the future. Someone else needs their story told first ;).

I didn't get Zane's good ending...and I was maxed out on the management and trust stats so I'm not sure what I need to do? My other stats were kept low.

(1 edit)

Raise his affection by making the correct choices (these can be found in the guide linked above). If you have Tyler as Emma's boyfriend then you'll need to either use the affectionate trait or have Social above 150 by his getaway as well.

Raising Trust stops you from dying. Raising Management will only change the ending if affection is high enough.

If you did meet all the requirements then maybe you made the wrong choice at the end - don't choose to leave him.

(1 edit)

I was on 300  for Trust, pretty early on too, still died a horrible death. If I choose to leave the next morning I get the sunken ship ending. I think I picked the right answers but I can go back and try again. I am using the affection trait and I pick erik for emma, btw

This might be the best otome I have ever played. And Zane...I am actually really affected by his route, it is just so well written. If this was a rom com I would totally go watch it, the chemistry would be off the charts <3 You seriously have a gift. I am so determined to get his good ending, I just know it will be perfect

hi! for some reason I can't get the extra ending for mira/zane. I had the scene where she read spoiler book 5 and got the good ending truth revealed, but nothing in extras.

That's strange because it's unlocked on our side. 

Are you sure you got the fifth Fantasy Book event and not just the fourth?

Perhaps try again? 

Am i the only one who just cant get the game to extract on their windows pc?

That's strange. 

Have you tried installing it through the itch app?

(Alternatively have you checked to see if maybe your antivirus is blocking it or you got a corrupted copy and need to redownload?)

Hello! I was wondering how to get the extra story with Emma and Landon. I played Daire's route and choose Landon for Emma. But didn't get Landon/Emma extra story from the extra story section.

You need to see a scene where Mira runs into Landon in the mall before it unlocks.

The requirements for the scene are social > 150 and choosing to design.

That and the requirements for unlocking other scenes can be found in the guide HERE

Just wanted to say thanks for creating this wonderful game! I blasted through the entire thing over the past two days, and I found myself completely addicted to the story and the wonderful characters-- I've now unlocked all endings on all three routes, plus all the CGs and achievements except for the "read all lines" (need to go back and try out all the possible combinations of Mira's boys x Emma's boys, which will be fun), and I'm already craving more of this world.  Pretty proud of myself for doing it without a walkthrough too :D definitely took a ton of hours, but it was all worth it. 

I absolutely adore Zane and Daire and their routes, and really appreciate how you managed to craft such distinct characters. I will say that Kiron's route felt cluttered, which is unfortunate since the man himself is such a sweetheart. There were so many new side characters thrown into the mix, and we never really connected with them in Kiron's story, although I do get the desire to hint towards a potential sequel. I thought the side characters were more deftly handled in the other routes, and enjoyed how your suggested playing order of Zane > Kiron > Daire really built upon each other. My favourite character however has to be Mira herself-- I loved her strength and independence, how she was unafraid to be sexy and sexual, and her awesome banter. She definitely stood out to me among otome game heroines. 

I'm also really glad we got to see so much Emma/Halloween Otome goodness embedded throughout this game, and the friendships between characters were truly lovely. I am also impressed that you created a sequel game that is so distinct in tone from Halloween Otome-- this definitely got a lot darker in places than I anticipated, but there were lots of great funny moments to balance that out too. 

congrats on getting all the endings! I was hoping vo was engaging enough to warrant replay. =)

As with Kiron’s route, you probably aren’t the only one who feels that way, but sadly those side characters have their own story that needs to be unlocked (well - in a future X otome that is) so perhaps one day people will be able to understand more...hopefully.

I’m glad people are also liking Mira. She’s so uh...different from the usual otome protagonists that we weren’t sure how people will react, so it’s great to hear positive feedback. 

Hi! 
I just finished Zane's route and it was amazing! I can't wait to play Kiron's next! I'm just a little intrigued about the Model event when Osiria mentions "it's deeper than that" when Erik makes a comment about Landon and it's never explain what she meaned after that. So, is it possible to know ? Like was there something between Landon and Erik ? 
By the way it was all worth the wait, iv'e already played for hours and i'm no done yet!

Deleted 6 years ago

... Yeah this is one of those Osiria and/or Emma are messing with you moments.

Emma's "walked in on them" comment refers to when Landon was sick in Halloween Otome.  As for Osiria she's half-trolling and half referring to them being like brothers and willing to die for each other.

Hello!
I'd like to start by stating that this game was definitely worth the wait. Though I may not have unlocked all the endings, two sleeplessness nights are enough for me to gauge the game. This is worthy to lose sleep over.

The characters have individual traits and do not mesh together and depending on the route, the player discovers more sides to them.
The art is gorgeous and the soundtrack accompanies the script beautifully. Reading the script is not taxing, but instead, nudges the player to want more.

I personally love the twist endings with the MC's, umm, "life" choices (for lack of a better word to prevent spoilers). It adds that extra realistic touch.

Something I noticed with the game however, are some technical errors.
This may just be my experience, but, I use a Mac and the Mac game application refuses to open.
I'm currently playing the game via Wine, but the game often crashes (though this may also be just my personal experience). Though, the game does tend to crash at a certain point - the fashion show event. (Specifically after MC is seated and converses with Osiria.)

On another note; is Mr. Kaiser dateable? Like a secret or parody end? Because it would be a shame, if not...

All in all, this game is a must-play!

I sincerely look forward to future releases.

(1 edit)

Have you tried the Mac only version?

We did test it on Mac devices before release, but of course, not all systems are the same.

There's also a guide on how to open the market/combined version on Mac here at lemmasoft: https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=48083#p477424

Hello.

So, I tried the Mac only version but it wasn't opening up.
I have checked out the guide that you've linked and it has fixed the problem.

Thank you very much for getting back to me.

Totally worth the wait <3 

Through some trial and error I managed to finally get a happy end with Daire and it was pretty rewarding. There's actually a lot more replay value then I was expecting for each LI, since your choice on Emma's significant other also heavily alters a handful of events. I'm really loving this game so far~ 

As always Synokoria does quality work :3

hello!! i've had the time to speed through this game blindly and i just wanted to say it's been a delight playing! i've grown attached to the cast and have loved the cameos from halloween otome! seeing the new boys interact with the old boys was amusing especially when i paired mr. wolf w/emma during zane's route HAHAHA. 

in addition, i wasn't expecting some of the plot twists in some endings --- zane's especially --- but i was pleasantly surprised! some of the more 'low stat' ends also made me :") because who doesn't love some angst right?

there are some endings i haven't been able to acquire, but as i received the 'best ending' for all three boys through trial and error i'm content on waiting for the official walkthrough to unlock the rest and mixing up emma's boys with mira's boys to see how others interact w/them later on. 

lastly, i'm excited to receive the charms -- the designs are adorable -- thank you for providing them as a bonus!

Is there a walk-through for this? I can't seem to get the happy ends. Love the game anyways tho!

from my personal experiences the happy ends seem dependent on the 'secondary' stat aside from the trust one (not even taking account the hidden affectation attribute from correct answers) --

daire: design
zane: management
kiron: social (i believe?? i can't recall how i played through his since i did it at like 2-4 in the morning so i'm not super confident with this one,  i can't recall how closely i juggled the other stats with his but it seems plausible enough)

while getting every single zane bad end before finally getting his happy end, i decided to just ignore other stats aside from management and trust to see if it'd net me it --- and it has! try doing that if you're having trouble i guess? it worked out for me ... my design and social in that route was pitifully low but i still netted the happy ending (truth revealed). not sure if it has a impact on the other routes if you neglect the non-secondary stat. i pretty much ended up using zane as a guinea pig for how badly i was failing getting a decent ending for him haha  


good luck! 

Yay!  Will you be doing a fan book for this one?  I would pay extra for it.  I loved the last one you did almost as much as I loved the game itself.

We will be doing a fan book eventually. We'd hoped to release it with VO, but time got away from us.

That is the best news!  Thank you!

It's the first time I'm trying an otome without a walkthrrough :'D It is both fun and frustrating, I'm trying to go on routes in their specified order and I got Zane's all bad endings, and now I've sat here for over an hour trying to make sense of how his getting the good endings get xD 

I can't wait to get on Kiron's route (I've wanted to play him since the demo was released T^T) and I can't wait for the walkthrough to finally get Zane right and I'm extremely excited to play this game :'D 

(-1)

Well, if you've gotten "Broken Promise" then you're on the right track.

If you're dying - focus on trust.

For Truth Revealed, focus on Management as well.

Since I posted the comment I got Runaway lovers!! :D Truth Revealed is the last ending I need. Thank you so so much for the tip!!! <3

Could you possibly share a hint for Runaway Lovers?! It's the last Zane ending I need to unlock, but I just can't figure out how to get it.

Keep Management low

(1 edit)

Thanks for the hint! I feel like I still must be doing something wrong :P I've tried raising trust while keeping management as low as possible (never selecting "work at boutique" unless it's fixed in the schedule). I'm guessing that I'm still picking story choices wrong somewhere at the beginning, as I'm not unlocking most of the special romance scenes I saw in Zane's true ending when I attempt to keep management low. Ah well, I might move on to the other boys and come back when the walkthrough is released. 

EDIT: Finally got it, after multiple tries! Also finished Kiron's route, and I'm SO excited to be moving on to Daire at last. Just one thing, a potential glitch perhaps? When I try to set the stats preference to "fast/skip", it always seems to reset back to normal and I'm never able to skip the stats on replays.

I couldn't see Mira's sprite ;;_;; Is only me have that bug? please help me!

Questions like this are probably better asked on the Lemmasoft or Synokoria Forums as it makes it easier to attach information we will need to assist.

We need more information to figure out if this is a problem with the game or your system. Log files, screenshots, as well as your system specifications will help narrow it down.
