Hello dear developer, I really liked the game kapets, I feel sorry for Ray or the Binary star, despite his not very good deeds, I fell in love with this guy damn much! >:3❤️ I hope you will return to the development of this game in the future, and I was interested in the "Binary Star Hero" only one ending? Judging by the seven more unblocked ones, there are other endings, are they available at the moment of passage?
I seriously enjoyed the concept of this game. The "just some regular guy" yandere isn't so enjoyable imo, so your characterization of Ray/Binary Star was so fun and interesting to experience. And those CGs?? GORGEOUS. This is one of those games that has me thinking about it even after playing it. So I will continue to think about this game while listening to the Binary Star playlist on Spotify (god it's such a good playlist lol)
i'm sad to admit i overlooked the game the first few times i've seen it 'cuz like. superheros? come on. the genre is full of potential but it is so very rare to really see any of this potential realized. when i finally played it, i couldn't do anything but play it again. a few times. the bsh game is very well written, with beautiful art and excellent characters. even now, more than two months after playing it, i'm in love with it - in love with ray, with all the characters, really - and i think of it very fondly.
thank you for letting us experience this. it's incredible
Lo ame!!!! Demasiado es super woo xd no e parado de contarle la histaria a mis amigos jaja creo que ya saben de memoria. Me mandaron a ver varias series de super herues para compartir mas con ellos es que es inposible esplicar la emocion es simplemente genial de como se dearrolla .... TE FELECITO CREADOR. 🌻❤🌻❤🌻
While I still have to get the After Stories... now that I have all of the endings, I really wanted to say that this was an incredible VN experience. Something about Binary Star Hero really clicked with me.
[There will be some !!!spoilers!!! in the comment. Y'all have been warned]
.

The entire story was brilliant. I loved the idea of playing an ex-villain who just can't escape from their past in one way or another. Not to mention, having a yandere superhero was a whole lot of fun!
I went into this not being quite sure if Binary Star/Ray was a yandere until we looked through his stuff. It was such a "oh!" moment, and I loved how subtle he was at first. But when I went through to get everyone's relationship points after getting the first set of bad endings, it was like seeing the story through a whole different lens. I noticed so many things I hadn't before (and I love that I had to play it more than once to really grasp the entire feeling of the story. It was amazing. Getting all of the endings was a phenomenal experience!)
The characters were also just so well written. Each of them was really fun to interact with, and getting to know all of them was such an intimate experience. I literally have fallen in love with Haley and Ray for such different reasons, and I adore how awful Double is. (I guess to be fair, I adore how awful Ray is too, but he also just feels so tragic.) (As an aside: Haley's ending and the Ray ending were my favorites! And I cried so much during the bad Ray ending and the Quasar ending ;-;)
The aesthetic of BSH was also really on point. I loved the use of screen toning to give it a comic book feel, and the art itself was so gorgeous! I was in awe of how every CG looked. I can't even describe just how much of a treat this was visually.
Plus the music! Zack did such a great job with the soundtrack. Every piece fit the scenes perfectly. The scenes where things were unsettling or scary especially got to me with the use of music. It was wonderful.
I really loved BSH and honestly ;-; I wish there was more even beyond the After Stories. (I am possibly a little obsessed with this VN now...)
Thank you for working so hard on this VN. I hope you're doing well.
WOW! Thankyou so much for this detailed and thoughtful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much and I'm honored to recieve this much positive sentiment 💕
I have all the achievements completed except for the "complete all of binary star hero" ending. With low affection points, I went for the window and door with no interruptions from the other love interests. I'm not sure what I'm missing.
The art, music and characters are marvelous. If I could give you 10 stars, I would.
Maybe you would consider releasing the game on Steam?
Also, If I may, I want to point out some game mechanics that leave me kinda frustrated. It’s about choices. So, some of them give +points in relationships, but several of them are too vague that a new reader must be Nostradamus to pinpoint them.
!!!SPOILERS!!!
.
.
.
.
.
Examples:
Ray +10
“Invite him in”
“(be honest) I find them kinda...uncomfortable”
“Here’s some coffee before you go”
These choices are neat and clear because you care about the character and want to be honest with him.
But
“What about him?” and “...really?” (+10)
I can’t really say what the difference is. Why the one gives you points and the other is not.
I wish authors stopped that practice “guess what the right choice is here, buddy!”
Hello! Thank you for enjoying my game :) Releasing on Steam in the future is something I would like to do but I do not have any direct plans for, as I am dedicating all of my free time to developing 'Favor' currently.
____________
Regarding the choice you mentioned below, here is my logic:
"What about him?" - is a direct question, indicating curiosity, interest, and willingness to learn what is likely a 'bad side' of Binary star.
"...really?" indicates a pause before the question, with my intention being that the player is either doubting what is being said, not wanting to believe it, or possibly just dismayed towards what is being said.
To me, this pause indicates the player character having more attachment to Ray rather than the former "What about him?" which is seeking out specifics without any pause or doubt.
I understand this was a little vague and my intentions may not have shown through, but I don't personally always like to make choices straightforward. To me, I feel that the best choice-based vns force the player to take into consideration their situation, the LI's personality, and the tone of what is being said. Granted, I am not a pro at this as a dev yet, but I would like to continue to improve :)
A translation into other languages is not currently planned, but if there is a demand for any specific languages I may look into the price of translation :)
It's... a gorgeous story. So beautifully done. It was so easy to start reading, so easy to like and enjoy spending time with Haley, and so easy to fall for Ray since that first meeting in cafe. Some parts of the story made me smile and giggle so much, some parts - to have shivers (mostly from first interactions with Double). And the end... made me feel sad and bittersweet (or empty?) because i did not want for it to end. I love the art, i love the characters, and i'm in love with this visual novel which took my attention for few hours and gave me...so many emotions. It felt like a whole new world opened in front of me and then was closed in the end when i got all endings and then replayed again for Ray only. Just... thank you very much. Such talent and imagination. I will cherish this vn for as long as i breathe, because honestly? How can i just meet Ray and then forget about him? Nope. I'll be replaying it over and over and over again every time i'll miss him. So thank you very much again and i wish you the best!
I really enjoyed this, I do wish it was longer because everything just seemed so fitting. The art, characters, personalities, choices, all of them seemed to just click together. Like the other comments I have seen, I am biased towards Ray. It can be a terrible thing to feel the way he does at any point in your life and I am sure many of us have had that low point. However, I do feel like because of the length of this particular vn, it was harder for me to kind of immerse myself into the experience. Spoilers incoming!
It was hard to see Ray "falling at first sight" for our self insert MCs. The story does say he has been following us for (3 years) but we only see him and the other characters for so long. It didn't really feel like I had much time to get to know him. I find it hard to care for him and his character, but I do care for him more than the others because he had so much more screentime. I would love to see if in the future a sequel to this one with all three characters making a return. It would be really exciting to see how each after story would branch off into another game. (ex. Double coming after MC while staying with Ray or vice versa) Although if I am being honest about one of his endings I was extremely confused on the ending that is supposed to give a message about a "greater purpose." I'm not exactly sure what he did other than possibly absorbing MC like the others that came before, the dialogue kind of lost me although I did understand the terms and what not. Regardless, I could type pages and pages of my thoughts but overall I loved this, and I'm sad to see it end so soon! I can't help but be a bit greedy and want more from this. Especially because how everything felt so real in this hypothetical setting. I don't know about the others but I really look for and almost crave in some cases realism or
Verisimilitude.
Thank you for the experience that I had playing! Hope that this isn't the last of it! I look forward to more.
It has been a long I have butterflies in my stomach while playing dating sim. This is by far my favorite yandere VN. Now I really want a depth explanation about how do you make these characters attractive like holy sh*t
i unlocked all the endings and did all the after stories so i would unlock the 'secret ' ending. And boy I was shocked, i started to twirl my hair and giggle. AMAZING!!!!!!
ray is such a wonderfully written character. he feels so endearingly human and i was pleasantly surprised by the themes and topics explored in this game as well as the writer's careful handling of them. also, the cgs are so so pretty! i'll definitely replay this. thanks for creating this game and such heartbreaking and loveable characters 💖
i followed the guide and got all the ending achievements but im still missing "complete all endings to unlock" and "complete all of Binary Star Hero" and now im not sure what to do, i did all the after stories, i played all 3 of ray/binary stars endings again in case it changed something too
You talented wonderful sneaky sneaks! I finally got the super secret "old friend" easter egg at the end and I wanted to make sure before I start editing the video if it's OK with you to show it. If you'd like it to stay a secret for players that's very alright with me.
I have no clue, if I'm the only one to experience this issue or not but none of the android versions available are working for me I tried all three, though the result was the same for them "File is unable to download" or "Can't open file" something like that.
Which one? There's a walkthrough. It's just an image with all the choices and who it effects.
But go for the balcony and don't call for Binary Star. More choices to lead to one of three endings (hand and save for Ray ending though as that seems to be what you're after).
I'd like to ask again if you could please tick the OS checkboxes on the edit project page? It will only take you a second, and without them it's impossible for me (and others who rely on the itch app) to play the game. I have an intermittently unstable internet connection and downloads through the browser often instantly fail for me. It'll also improve your own visibility, since right now the game won't appear in any OS-specific searches.
WORDS cannot describe! This game belongs in a museum as it is a work of art! First of all the story quickly had me hooked, I love stories about Heroes with questionable morals and while it was obvious what was going on the reveal felt so earned (the phone bit was genius, I could almost feel the ground falling from under the MC's feet) And the creative use of the different text boxes!! I've spent about 5 hours with this game trying to uncover as much as I could and there's STILL things I didn't unlock. I know it says this is a stand alone game but I would love to see more of these characters! I hope you enjoy my playthrough when I get done editing it! Congratulations to you and your team for this masterpiece!
This. This right here, has been that superhero fix I've been craving after such fatigue from media like Marvel or the Boys or Invincible. I just adore the writing, you can just feel how much the writer cares for these characters and you get so invested so quickly with them. It handles its themes and topics with grace and confidence, that leave you sitting in bed contemplating whether you made the right choice.
Honestly, this entire game feels like such a labour of love. There's charm to the sprites, love how unique everyone's body language is. I wanna give kisses to every bag under Ray's eyes. I could and will do, replay this game over and over. Incredible work to everyone involved!
off topic but how dare you call out us reader insert fanfic writers DX there are currently only 6 works for this game and I hope that changes soon.... uwu

I STAYED UP TILL THREE FOR THIS GAME so worth i

Hello dear developer, I really liked the game kapets, I feel sorry for Ray or the Binary star, despite his not very good deeds, I fell in love with this guy damn much! >:3❤️ I hope you will return to the development of this game in the future, and I was interested in the "Binary Star Hero" only one ending? Judging by the seven more unblocked ones, there are other endings, are they available at the moment of passage?
there are more endings! theres a walkthrough image, you need to max out the “love” stat with the character you want the ending with
How do you know the stat progress? I've found 2 endings of Ray's route, are there any more?
(THIS IS SO LATE SORRY) unfortunately there isnt any way to see the stat progress, its only a couple of dialogue choices though
I seriously enjoyed the concept of this game. The "just some regular guy" yandere isn't so enjoyable imo, so your characterization of Ray/Binary Star was so fun and interesting to experience. And those CGs?? GORGEOUS. This is one of those games that has me thinking about it even after playing it.

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD HOLY SHIT
this game is so good
I have all the achievements completed except for the "complete all of binary star hero" ending. With low affection points, I went for the window and door with no interruptions from the other love interests. I'm not sure what I'm missing.
To get this achievement you must play all of the bad endings and the side stories as well :)
ohh I see, thank you. I just had to do the side endings. Also AMAZING art! The story is great too
Such a gorgeous, gorgeous story!!!

I LOVE RAY WHSTSHHZ
THIS IS AMAZING
This was a absolute joy to play and read through! i loved it :3

this might be the best vn I ever played
are there any guides for the achievements/endings?
Check the downloads area, there is a guide there :)
to get ALL ENDINGS you have to complete the side stories too
thank you!
i followed the guide and got all the ending achievements but im still missing "complete all endings to unlock" and "complete all of Binary Star Hero" and now im not sure what to do, i did all the after stories, i played all 3 of ray/binary stars endings again in case it changed something too
the bad endings count. To get those you go to the end part of the game without enough affection.
Ahhhhh thank you! I was missing the bad door end. I love your games, keep up the good work <3
where???
This is just amazing, 10/10 would recommend!
You talented wonderful sneaky sneaks! I finally got the super secret "old friend" easter egg at the end and I wanted to make sure before I start editing the video if it's OK with you to show it. If you'd like it to stay a secret for players that's very alright with me.
Yep :) its alright to show!
Thank you! It really knocked my socks off!!
Haley is like, the only sanest character so far.
Is anyone else missing the second option in Rays ending??? cause it only shows one choice when I choose to take his hand
u have to have max affection with ray to get the 2nd option !
ac???
I have no clue, if I'm the only one to experience this issue or not but none of the android versions available are working for me I tried all three, though the result was the same for them "File is unable to download" or "Can't open file" something like that.
这个游戏没有安卓版本，但你可以用Joiplay在手机上玩
joyplay好像也打不开.....qwq
你给joyplay安装插件没？或许是这个原因，我的就可以打开
问问咪.....是那个插件？.......求一波.......
好像就是joyplay官方的插件，是我在下载其他游戏时弹窗出来提醒我下载的。话说回来，你游戏是什么情况玩不了？
can someone tell how to get rays ending
Which one? There's a walkthrough. It's just an image with all the choices and who it effects.
But go for the balcony and don't call for Binary Star. More choices to lead to one of three endings (
hand and save for Ray ending though as that seems to be what you're after).Thank you, I did not see the walkthrough.
I WANT TO SAY THAT I LOVE THIS GAME BEYOND WORDS❤️❤️❤️❤️ , and I hope you continue to make more games like this, because its just *chefs kiss*

Also I am very flattered you assumed I had a team to help make this lol 😩 💕 just me (and Zack who made the music and some sfx editing of course!)
