I played the free version, Vincent's route. Firstly, I must commend the game for being on the longer side. I appreciate it when VNs are a bit longer. The art and the CGs are gorgeous in this game so that is definitely a plus. Overall though, I must admit that I did not like the story of this game. There was not much of a plot and the worldbuilding was weak. The story kept jumping and there was not a real central theme. It just meandered and felt a bit incomplete. If you like VNs that are more focused on romancing or getting to know a character without much else, then this game is for you. I prefer one where there is more to the story and setting and scene is a bit more immersive. There is not much of an intro in this VN into the world of Quansies. It becomes confusing. There is so much potential and the concept is unique, but it just fell a bit flat in the end.
I absolutely loved this game and I have so many thoughts now that I finished all of the endings!
First of all, it is a MUST to buy the DLC, it is absolutely worth it trust me, and while the free version does give you a little bit of taste of the world of Degraman and its characters, I highly recommend checking out the dlc as well. Second of all, if you are looking for an easy game to play, fluffy romance, comfort characters, happy endings or just anything close to a short and sweet experience, maybe this isn't for you. This game has a dark, rich story, sprinkled with humour yes, but i feel like it is something more mature than a regular visual novel.
Now that that is out of the way, i have so many things to say so I'm gonna start with the writing, story,the choices etc. I really loved the fact that you have to actually search for the truth in this game yourself. Every choice,every ending,every interaction done differently leads you to a new piece of information about the characters, the mc or the world in this game which was so fun to do. It made me actually pay attention to every detail, it made me come up with theories or even write stuff down so that i can keep track of the choices and the endings i wanted to achieve. I really appreciate the fact that the devs didn't put up any official walkthroughs for the game (except for one of the endings i believe), because i feel like this played a big part of me enjoying this experience. THE CHOICES ACTUALLY MATTER! The writing was very good, it did make me immerse into the story, the descriptions were detailed but not that much that made you lose track of the story which i really liked. There was a very good distinction between the characters when it came to dialogue, each one had their own unique way of speaking, they didn't all just blend into each other. The humor was amazing, right up my alley. The story is very interesting, intricate and unique. I like how it starts off almost like a parody of a visual novel, but then you get a wake up call,in this world nobody is nice to you for no reason. Another thing I really liked, was the fact that this game really made me question my morals, my view on some things, and yes i am mostly talking about the Vincent-Cassel thing, it was really interesting and to my surprise i actually really enjoyed it.
Now the characters. I'm gonna start off with the the mc. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the main character had so much personality. I played A LOT of visual novels and most of the mcs are very bland or annoying and for me personally, it's a bit issue because it distracts me from the story. But ya in this game, i really loved the mc there were so many things she did or said that were very relatable to me, it felt like an actual person. I must admit tho, she was very umm lustful sometimes haha but it was very funny especially the fact that she was very aware of that herself but couldn't help it. The mc's personality made every interaction with another character very enjoyable, and i really liked the fact that the loner route actually had two sides of her which lead to different experiences and different bonds with the characters. I really liked the fact that all of the characters had both qualities and flaws, lots of them, it made it harder for me to love them, they felt real,not the dreamy fictional type. My favorite character was Vincent and God, i loved the love-hate feelings he made me have towards him. Such a fun character,every time he appeared on screen i was excited to see what he was gonna say, if it would make me want to punch or hug my laptop haha.It was refreshing to see a character with this type of personality without being a tsundere. His anger, awkwardness, annoyance, they all make sense once you start learning things about him. I got to see soooo many sides of him throughout all the endings which only made me love him even more.
Now the art in this game is absolutely amazing. Not only you get sooooooooo many beautiful cgs, but you also get multiple sprites for the same character which is pretty rare and ALSO, they even have multiple outfits. The attention to detail in this game is astonishing. But my favorite part are the facial expression because there were so many, especially on Vincent oh my god. There was a different expression on his face for every slight change in his behaviour, his feelings. Turkey did a wonderful job ,i don't even dare to think how much time and effort was poured into the art.There was also such a big improvement since the demo and the art style that made it out into the final game turned out to be so beautiful and unique. The backgrounds were also incredibly beautiful and i loved the little details and references they had in them. I also got the ost because it's just so gooood, i've been listening to it on repeat, it just makes me immerse back into that world every time i listen to it.
I could still go on and on but i think this review is already way too long haha.My conclusion is that this was an amazing game and i can't wait to replay it once some time had passed and i am also incredibly excited about the future routes and all the things that they will uncover.
Thank you for such a detailed, full of love and admiration review!
We really appreciate your thoughtful approach to the walkthrough of the game and are glad that you appreciated our dangerous decision not to make an official walkthrough.
Thank you for appreciating our hard work in terms of visual. Our artist is incredibly flattered that you have noted and highlighted such seemingly inconspicuous things as the constant change of emotions.
We are very pleased that you supported and highly appreciated our improvements from the demo version. This was not an easy decision for us.
Such great reviews can't be too long :3
We are happy to work on new routes for wonderful players like you, who are so open, attentive and generously sharing their emotions.
obviously delete the path to app section and put your actually game file. you can do this by dragging the app icon to the terminal and it will copy the pathway
I love this game so much ,Vincent is definitely my favourite,i like how he is sour and sweet (づ￣ ³￣)づ Can't wait for the full version ,you guys did such a good job with this demo,art,music,everything is great. ♥‿♥
Ooooh pls make a route for Victor and Sebastian, I love them both. Victor is flirty and very very sexy. His long white Ponytail looks so cute and his piercings and his look on me. And Sebastian seems shy and always sleep. He is totally cute. Nice green eyes, long brown hair and seems to be a nice guy. I hope you put both routes in this game.
In my search to find out more I ended up here! :-) I just played the Demo on my phone, didn't knew it was on itch too! Anyways, I wanted to say that loved it! 🥰
I love the music , I love the art , I like how everyone has their own personality, and how it is all connected.
I do hope we get a option to push or slap Ryu's hand away when he wants to feed the MC . Even Though Ryu is a sweety, I just really wanted slap him so badly and tell him to cut it out! 😂😅
Looking forward for the full game! keep up the good work! 😊
Loved the bits of story we got to see and I'm super interested in what the full game will be like with the prologue and choices. Thank you for the hard work! I look forward for when this is released.
Hi it's me again! I was just wondering if there's a way to pre-order the game before it releases? I loved the demo so much and I would love to have the game as soon as it's out

I cant open the dlc either :( I'm on Catalina too! I try downloading rpa tool to open it but it keeps showing error messages
To use the DLC you don't need rpa tool.
You just have to put the cl_dlc.rpa file into the game folder of the master game.
Can you plz show us the screenshot of the files you have?
and the error you get (or how do you understand that DLC doesn't work).
You can e-mail to us - degraman.vn@gmail.com
I see! I did it and it worked! Tysm!!!
Yay!
YES!!! It's finally released!!! :)))
Yeah! :3
Can you plz show us what's the error? (or you can email us to degraman.vn@gmail.com
hi there don't know if this will help ya! This is a fix if your game icon pops up then closes and never opens the game.
if you open the terminal on mac then type
obviously delete the path to app section and put your actually game file. you can do this by dragging the app icon to the terminal and it will copy the pathway
This is a pretty common fix on macs
doesn't always work on first try but might help!
Thank you!
Can we plz ask you to email to us your current folder structure and the error you get?
