THIS IS SO GOOD i usually dislike visual novels with text layouts but this was rlly well done and entertaining. PRETTY PLS ADD MORE CHARACTER ROUTES THOUGH BUT ITS ALREADY SO PEAKSAUCE I LOVE IT
Just finished! I never thought SQL could be so fun LOL, i learned more here than in my own classes.
Besides that, lovely love interest and relatable character development. I enjoyed that he isnt overtly enamored by the end, but clearly interested! i think that makes it all the more realistic.
Overall very good and fun!
ITS GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
UH
So far I've played two of robobarbie's games: Blooming Panic and SeekL. I loved them to the point I would love to support them. But as far as I can see, there's no direct link to support the team? Only for organization the characters of Blooming Panic would support. None the less 10/10 for this game. Amazing work
Hey! Thank you for playing and glad you had fun! Yes, I still don't take any donations, but alongside the bloomic charities I have another one for odxny here, as well as three others at the top of my profile page 🫶 some other team members linked in the credits section may have an occasional Kofi or something similar if you want to support someone specific!
Putting this game in my 'gonna play' list for quite a while... I forgot about stuffs outside real life and only be able to play it now cuz being j*bless kinda give u that free time privilege (... well thats kinda depressing.) haha.
I remember I had one or two things i learned years ago about cs/coding (though I alrd forgot what I learned back then). Older comments made me hesistant for a bit because I'm afraid I'll be shit at all this coding stuffs (Incri not helping with my hesistance but thanks for being entertaining lol.) but I'm now proud to say that I managed to finish my first playthrough without any guide or any help! I finished it in like 3 hours i guess... which is a very fun and enjoyable 3 hours!!
Odxny... can't help but relating with whatever made him lead to that decision in the first place. As he said; People come, people go. They might stay, but sometimes they've got no reason to, hence the loneliness of being left might felt a bit more cold for those who seeks something like a connection. Reconnecting is scary too, I mean, what might be the reason of any human fallouts? Was it conflicts, misunderstanding, or was it that things just supposed to go that way?
It's fun to relearn what I've forgotten, learn things about coding while also enjoying my time loving some mysterious hacker guy hahaha. Oh! i got the SeekLove ending as my first one!! I haven't tried the other routes yet, maybe later.
This game is fun, thank you so much for the fun and fresh experience. :D
wow..I love this so much. really. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but this truly tugged at my heartstrings... the characters are all written so naturally and wonderfully and their interactions with each other and you are so heartwarming and incredibly funny. it made me sad to see them all go..and it made me wish there were routes for all of them hahaha!! amazing
robobarbie and servers shutting down in their VNs
had to use my brain again when i replayed! awesome gameee
I'm stuck on bruces wife
ITS SO GOOOOD AAHHHHH I NEED MORE GIGIGIIGLE
Es demasiado bueno; se me dificultó entender algunos diálogos porque no sé mucho inglés, pero con el traductor de mi celular pude entender algo. Amo a Odxny y la música es 10/10 (la busqué en YouTube y no paro de escucharla)
my dad works in IT so this game makes me feel like I'm actually doing smth w my life ♪(´▽`) (I'm not) (incri ily)
IM SO SAD ITS ENDED DAMN BEST GAMEEE
I LOVED this game. the coding, the rediculisness of the characters and THE ART OMG THE ART
rlly great game. the coding part reminded me of the times i went crazy bcs of my robotics class LMAOO
I’ve played a lot of visual novels but this was genuinely one of the best pieces of fiction I’ve ever had the fortune of playing, I got SeekLove on my first time and I couldn’t be happier, that shit was fire and I hope you know it.
if someone told me when i started my career that the database subject would be used to play a visual novel, i wouldve just quitted completly and never touched sql in my life
god, this brings me to tears. 10/10 no notes, Mike Young was perfect for this role. utterly charming and wholly hilarious
Gonna cry. Stuck at this Darren Foster child... 3 hours..
you have probably already solved this buttttt... for anybody still struggling:
No. I didn't solve it yet. I just give up and play another game. Lmao. Thank youuu cool stranger 🙏 ❤️
no problem at all!!!! i hope you go back to it, it really is a wonderful game <3
I got all endings! Thank you kind stranger! <3
eeeee no problem!!!! <333
Got the SeekLife ending but def going to play till I get all endings
another robobarbie x mike young banger!! i was pleasantly surprised that a vn managed to make learning sql basics fun and engaging. i thought the learning aspect would potentially overshadow the characters or the story itself, but it actually highlighted the characters' personalities because they all approached teaching the user in their own unique way. also the LI is a TREAT omg. his backstory, his banter, his CG, all incredible. mike young did a great job bringing this character to life. there was so much subtle emotion behind his lines that really helped me feel for the LI and want to get to know more of his past
tl:dr; my neurons were activated in more ways than one, 10/10 vn
omg im so glad i listened to that one tt comment cuz this vn is so good. ive never been the type of person to enjoy anything cs/coding related but all the tasks were fun. the characters were unique and added so much to the experience. and i cant forget about odxny, his story was relatable and well thought out. this game gave me an amazing time, thank you to everyone who worked hard making it <3
First, I absolutely enjoyed this game! The characters were so fun to get to know and odxny was just so precious, plus his VA was lovely on the ears <3 I also had a lot of fun with the coding! It was nice playing a game that I felt like I was actually contributing to!
I got the seekLove ending and honestly, I wish there was a bonus scene where we meet odxny in person T_T but my eyes were blessed with that CG I was screaming at the slow reveal!!!
I only ran into one instance where I thought my head was gonna explode, I literally spent an hour on this. During the day 3 coding when trying to find the devious doctor getting extra cash, I tried literally every combo my brain could fry through. I finally gave up and looked at the coding guide and found out it was the difference between using an OR or an AND in the where clause, despite the SeekL guide saying either command can be used...dunno if I wasn't understanding directions correctly, I was thoroughly stumped for a while.
Otherwise, amazing game! Honestly this one takes a top spot in favorites for me <3
same issue, if it wasn't for you I might have been suck here for a lot longer, thank you, you legend!
playing rn though i know nothing about coding the music is soo good! im excited!!looks so cool alrd
lowkey my brain_cells were quaking although i suppose these are just the beginner levels of coding? (correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm having fun!
update update I just finished it and I feel like bawling but I'm glad odxny is happier now. I got seekLOVE btw ;)
this game is so awesome sauce, reminded me how much i love coding after not doing any coding for a little while. tyvm :) also wifepep canon 😭😭
side note i love how the timestamp on the messages syncs up with what time it actually says it is on your device. i live for these kinds of details in video games
played it in one go bc i was so entertained, loved the art style, god the line art was beautiful and coding was so fun¡¡¡¡¡ also looooooved the vooice acting, i think i need more accents in my life now. 10/10
such a good game, everything was 10/10!! <3
boyyy im bouta crack the hell outta u boy xDDDDDD
honestly this is one of the first times I've ever made a comment for a game- this was genuinely amazing and I come back to it so so so many times it's probably unhealthy
ughhh this was such a good game i am so mad i have work tomorrow and i can't replay an obscene amount of times.
so good. so so good. i am currently physically restraining myself from searching for every other piece of information/backstory/art for this but i'll get back to it soon.
thank you to the whole team!! <3
oh my god i just finsihed this for the first time and got seeklove i deadass started crying this is so peak best 3 hours of my life 10000000000000000000/10 i dont thibnk icve cried harder on a vn...im abitu to go check oout blooming panic as recommended from other people fro the first time as well odxny i lvoe u ogmfogmogmosgmursioklg
Really really love this game the gameplay was really neat n the story was amazing!!It would b really cool 2 get a continuation with odxny absolutely loved him
para Android por favor
this is one of the coolest thing ive played. i was never a compsci expert, but for some reason, these silly characters teaches me so well (or, yk, maybe its just the most basics of the basics... and i shouldn't be too proud...)! i got seekLove on my first try and I was freakinnn giddy!! i wonder if you'll have any continuation for this... i can't seem to let go :( it wld make perfect sense for the story to just end like this considering the purpose behind this hacking genre is vagueness, privacy and uncertainty, but..... if the time is right....... i hope i can see odxny again.....
uhmmmm.. How do i start playing this lmao its my vfirst time
i got the seekLove ending but it wasn't showing me any images and just the chat, lol. is it really like that? :')
