What a fun game that let me use a familiar syntax! It's been a few years but it came back pretty fast.
This is so immersive, the fact that you actually get to learn and experience what to do is so uniquely fun. It kinda took some time for me to learn at first but once you get the hang of it makes you feel like you actually are in the story itself.
*Spoilers*
It's such a bittersweet ending that it also does make sense but I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get to know the other characters and just lost all contact. I kinda wish there would be an additional after the ending where we get to meet and know further about the ml and other things but I am just saying this because I'm craving more- nonetheless, everything is wonderful
this was a SUUUPER fun game to play. i loved learning the coding and getting stumped, only to realise 7 minutes later the correct way to do it. it never got frustrating even when i got stuck, which i loved.
the characters are really cute and i love their interactions and this weird little scenario they find themselves in. great, easy plot for a relatively short game.
my only issue is with the love interest. i feel like amidst all the learning and coding we don't really get time to talk to him and get to know him like i wanted to. he was super sweet and the way he spoke about himself and the way he viewed his life made me so sad (despite the good ending lol), i just wish it dove a little more into him, and why, and how he ended up feeling like this. my only issue with this game is i want to know him more!!!!!
super super fun game though. absolutely obsessed with the play it's the best i've seen in the computer/hacking/coding genre of these games.
Simply a peak game
10/10
absolutely beautiful game and incredibly immersive, the coding was super fun too!!!! 12/10 stars!!!!!!
This gmae is so immersive, i love how the texting times are the same as the time irl. Also, what's it with everything being from arizona? When i saw that i thought the game was taking my IP address because i live in arizona...
Also, i love how this teaches me code, i've never really like coding but this game makes it fun, easy, and manageable.
same I live there too and my heart almost stopped 😭
we are neighbors
This game taught me SQL and made me laugh and cry. This is too peak. Love you devs
this is such an amazing hidden gem more people should play this game it is so SOO good beyond what we normally find in the itch homepage; the natural personalities and progression with everyone, the graphics, the SQL??? holy creative and niche literally just learnt about that too for a cert literally best timing, the bg music/ambience, the ENDS?? this is exceptional, lit felt more from naturally conversing with od and everyone then from other yandere/obssesive vns this was an unforgetable experience and i will now start doing hackathons and exercises just like od because of this ty team for the amazing work you did, 1000/1000
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH ITS SO PEAK!!!
Also CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FINE ELISE PATRICKS EMAIL I tried finding it but it comes up blank ---------- and ive been stuck on it for a week or so
Also would love a seekl 2 this games so cool.
NVM I GOT IT GUYS WAHOOOOOOOOOOO
I've played a handful of VNs and this is DEFINITELY my absolute favorite in terms of gameplay! its SOOO FUNN!!!!!!!! Loved the game and is 100% in my top favs
omg i love this game so fucking much, wish that the other charas were romanceable bc i love them so much omfodffg
in most games like these i have problem with engaging with other characters that aren't romancable and honestly it's the first time i love all the characters. incri is funny asf, and to be honest everyone is, the way they were texting felt realistic and coding aspect is a chef's kiss. I LOVE OD SM wish there was a spin-off to seeklove ending because oh my goodness this was so good (also i'm gonna rewatch terminator just because of od, brb)
coming back to this after 2 years is a blessing, still remains to be the best game ive ever played on here. I've been learning sql coding and databases recently and i was by myself reminded to replay this
VINCE IS THAT YOU??!!
LETS GOOO!!! SEEKLOVE!!!
Lmaoooo I love Incri so much he's my spirit animal
This was immensely fun. I enjoyed it a lot.
so tuff
Whenever I click on start the game throws me out, anyone else with this problem?
just finished the game and it's so PEAAAKK i really loooved each character esp incri and od XD and the theme for each hack were so fun TvT, and the coding part was so engaging to do esp for od's last hack (i got seeklove on first try hehe), which you don't see interactive features often in other VN games, so that was a really unique touch!!the art style and od's story are also reeeeaaaally neat and well-made
(od🤤)more power to the team behind this game!!!
Español?

Ni idea
There isn't one
I have to say, the coding mechanism in this is so, so cool and interesting, even if it had me stressing near the end lol!! really great vn, loved the characters (esp od, could almost relate to him a bit) and the story ^^ give this a try if you have time <3
PEAK GAME! The coding factor? AWESOME! The characters? I GENUINELY DON’T THINK I’VE EVER LOVED ANY CHARACTERS MORE!! The story??? THE END OF THE ENDUNG I GOT MADE ME SO HAPPY!!!!
so damn goated holy shit, very engaging
Question, doing the bruce jhonson bit on day 2 I cant seem to get the data for the marriage tbl (i type evrything in correctly but the data shows blanks) is there a way to fix it?
same here but instead i cant figure out his irs thingy, it just says -------- and the dialogue wont continue idk why.......
wait a sec, did you skip any of the tutorials one of the characters offered? I skipped the data reading tutorial and i though it was because of that?
turns out theres some coding thats hard af lol (or maybe im dumb???) i js used the coding manual and did it from there, idk what i did wrong tho
did u ever figure it out im also stuck
lmaoo i love this game sm especially getting seeklove first try 😌
also the bonus rap at the end is so fucking funny, such a good bonus!!
Oh my goodness this game is so good i almost cried... I got the SEEKLOVE ending on the first try. Im happy and satisfied with what i got. There probably wont be a continuation to the game but if there is PLEASE do a spin-off for 'SEEKLOVE'
THAT WAS SO NICE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! the whole concept of having to code is genius!!! all characters are so funny and witty i loved it! ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE OPENING SONG???? INSANE THANK YOUUUU
I just finished all the routes and i love this game also why id odxny is so hot? And his voice damn! Definitely would play again even though coding was a little bit hard for me but i liked it!
omg this game. Soooo fucking funny and unique. Making characters who you can like and care for with little details is such a skill uhhooommm the gameplay is extremely fun too, and so unique. I have never seen a VN that uses coding before. I am slow with those kind of things, but it was fairly easy to grasp most of it. Art was stunning and set the mood, really nice color choices and OD was such an endearing and sweet character. I got SeekLove first try oooo ty ty for making this game <3 (。˃ ³ ˂ )⸝♡
+rep goated game
We and i mean WE need more of this visual novel.
me holdin onto the end for dear life i am left HUNGRYYY
I've had this game downloaded for a while but haven't had a chance to play it, but I just finished it and I'm obsessed. My brain hurt a little with figuring out the coding puzzles (i am not good at those), but it added a level of realism and made it more immersive! Also the art is beautiful and the voice actor did an amazing job. Love this game! <3
A delightfully charming otome!
The game isn't long, but it more than makes up for it with it's strong writing and unique gameplay.
The coding portion is totally novel and, most importantly, actually fun. I've never played a game with a coding function, let alone a VN, and I couldn't wait for my turn hacking.
All of the characters are distinct. They have their own typing style and personalities that make them easily identifiable even without avatars or icons. Their dialogue is genuinely funny.
The male lead, Odxny, is very endearing. Thanks in part to the fabulous voice acting, he comes across as an actual person rather than just a romantic caricature fulfilling tropes. I even found myself blushing during the final conversation on the "seekLove" route.
All in all, I would highly recommend playing this.
that was peak and now I understand coding a bit more (
and flirting)Genuinely have no idea why I finally decided to try this game out RIGHT before my mid-semester test. That aside, I absolutely adore this game (and ofc odxny). The way everyone (incl the player) interacts with one another is so endearing, the slight humour + rivalry is peak content. I really enjoyed the coding puzzle as well, coming from someone who's taking coding classes in university and ABSOLUTELY despised it. When Od asks how people can make meaningful connections, it hurts me too, as someone who is constantly asking the same question as I drifted through my uni life. As sad as I am right now that I have finished such a masterpiece, I'm glad to have found and played it, and forever grateful to the dev team for creating this. I know this is only a project to submit to the Jam contest, but I would love to get a sequel expansion/dlc about the future after seekLife or seekLove, maybe the gc could meet up again (?). BUT ANYWAYS, lovely game, 100% would recommend (if there any upd about this game, please drag me back).
tbh, this is one of the greatest ways to learn coding. Knew C++, Python amd all of that, seekL was something new, and I loved it
Really effective in the matters of a gaming format and the way the player wants to learn it themselves, not by someone makinf them. Or maybe I'm just a database geek XD
I am, although, very much inspired. Gonna make a similar thing for ubuntu (maybe Java even...)
im genuinely gonna tweak out AAAAAAAAAAA. hbshjagbjdkhgsaukhkjas I WNATED TO SEE THE FACE REVELA IM CRINE. the voice is really soothing tho... BUT I WISH WE WERE IN CONTACT WITH THE GC... :(
