I haven't completed all the routes (with all endings) yet, but so far I am feral for Noel and DJRK. I love how many paths there are, and how each one is so different from the others. My favorite so far is the Limbo route, and the replayability is great. Still trying to get my friends to get it so I can gush with them too!
I love this game but I'm definitely a bit bummed on the replayability... I went down the Mitts path and it was fun, and she was definitely giving 'transition goals' for me, like fr, but it's definitely a play it, and give yourself a bit of time to get ready to play a very similar journey at the beginning. But like I said before, I love this game, the UI, the characters, the everything.
10/10 want to play again right now.
Massive edit: after playing for a bit I realize that I didn't mean that. Its still a 10/10 but it's very repayable. I've already got 4hrs so far, got the good ending with Noel (had to use a guide lol) and can't wait for the next playthrough.
This game cheered me up during a bad time, so thank you. I LOVE games about heaven, hell and limbo and your conception of these realms and the afterlife is just AWESOME! Lovely art, backgrounds and UI too.
My only feedback is that I wish the game routes were longer. Because this game has some brilliant ideas, characters and concepts.
Also Irene and the main character's conflict over their interspecies differences really hit home regarding the mistakes I made with my own partner. I felt viscerally uncomfortable from how relatable their misunderstanding over her differences was. I really like Irene.
I really love this game and its artstyle with the story for each and every character! :) I like how its diverse between the genders and sexuality which I dont find often in dating sims :D!! Ive also never seen an ace character in one as well so it was cool to see Noel! I remember playing the demo and it was great! I love the improvement from the demo to the full game <333
okay, So first of all, I love the game so very much! My favorite has to be Noel and Rosita. Anyway, I have been following the walkthroughs cause I want all the endings and CGs (the art is just aaa-) but I have been trying so long to get Faye's neutral ending and would love help, please! The walkthrough had been helpful but I'm still not getting her ending!!
I dont like "playing" visual novels because you just read, a lot. If I wanted to read I would pick up book. I also dislike dating sims cuz, well, its just not my thing.
However, since I bought this from a bundle, I decided to at least try it instead of ignoring it. And its awesome.
It has lore, like, actual lore that is important: you could very well create any kind of work covering Noel's hundreds of years protecting the people in the limbo, just to give you any idea how much potential this game has.
The characters act like real people: its not like their entire personality is focused on their sexuality and gender, its just a part of them (unlike most of Netflix's works).
It has a good sense of humor to defuse serious moments: yeah, the villain has a big robot that could kill me (again), but at the same time the robot has NTR written on the forehead.
The dev (or devs) actually told a good story with some romance here and there that feels normal, instead of making a cheap dating sim where the romance options rotate around you without care for the world.
And I only have experienced one route, and partially.
Also, Mitts can create for herself a robotic hand, and I love robots.
Found out in my 300th playthrough (my save file got lost, okay? Need to be ready when part 3 releases) that you could use a controller for this game, and now it's 100x better.
I've never actually played one of these types of games before, a dating game, and I wanted some advice.
So, bit of context, I'm a straight (more just attracted to afab but I just generally chalk it up to straight for ease) cis dude. Now, I'm more than capable of playing other characters who have other attractions than me and other gender identities from me. Looking at Rosita, I see she's only lesbian, and it got me thinking.
I was wondering if I should make a female character so that I'm not locked out of any romance routes at all (since everyone else is bi or pan or otherwise), or if it would be recommended I just play as if the character is myself?
Edit: Really quick just adding. I'm excited to play this game, I'm just hoping to play it in a way that will give the best first experience!
Honestly play however you think you would get the best experience! Self-inserting is the design but people absolutely make OCs to go through routes with all the time. Plus even if she isn't romancable if you play as yourself, you can be her BFF! And you can have a more than happy relationship with someone as just friends!
Think I'll go as a self-insert just see where I'd end up and who with. I did run through the whole orientation thing too by the way, and the characters all seem like amazing fun!
I did figure I could be her friend though at least, wouldn't be far from reality. I'm the token straight cis dude for a few friend groups of mine haha. And I guess in this case it leaves some room open for future runs to see everything!
Thanks for the advice by the way, I appreciate it!
Sorry to ask this, but is there a way to save file edit? (yes this is about the guilt thing in one of the routes, I wanna know if you could potentionally get the cgs for all endings while also not being stuck with the -2 to the relationship)
It is mildly annoying that seen text so you can skip it isn't transferred alongside loading saves, so it's more favorable to start an entirely new game instead of loading a previous save for another route, but else I don't have any issues yet
The poly route is DJ Roadkill's route, like you can't do their route without ending up in a polycule (unless you get the bad ending where you dont even date but djrk's route's endings that aren't the good ending (quite easy to do btw) will come to bite you in the ass if you havent done the part 2 routes.
Noel's also at least hints at it, but DJRK's is very in your face luckily
just wanted to say thank you for this game (characters, stories, vibes... love me some rainbow hopepunk). part 3 will be welcomed with opened arms when it's ready :)
You haven't given "fair criticism" because you haven't even played the game you worthless knuckle dragger.
"Woke culture" isn't real and can't "die out", the only thing that will die out are the unenvolved bonobos like you who can't think outside of whatever your drop-out, bumpkin parents told you.
Maybe you ought to learn how to spell before you begin your career as a whiny turd.
OMG I PLAYED THROUGH TO CHERI'S ROUTE AND OMG??? I NEED MORE I LOVE THIS GAME! Is part 3 coming out 2025? I haven't seen anything about a release date, no rush! Just curious and excited to play more :)
every fucking time, there's a pretty girl in a game and I'm like "aw she's cute I'll romance her" AND THEN THE FUCKING BROKEN LIL ANGRY TWINK COMES IN WITH A SOFT LITTLE VOICE AND EVERY TIME MAN
I'M SO WEAK TO STUPID LIL FREAKIN AAAAAAAAA
noel is so fucking cute dammit
stop making me fall for the same freaking character type I have a problem
Good game. I haven't 100% done everything yet, but I did what I wanted, and was mostly satisfied with it. I don't got any notes, so any thoughts are off the top of my head.
As what is pretty much a newbie to the genre despite playing a few of them before, I had a wonderful time playing through this game to its many endings that I wanted to get. This is the kind of dating sim I can get behind~
The characters (despite me turning voice off all the way as soon as I heard they had voices) felt real in what dialogue I internalized, which lead to the good and bad moments getting to me more. I noticed how much I was laughing, getting flustered, and having my nerves shake me to my core. The queer experience is very much realized, as the characters aren't afraid to talk about their experiences with it, which, considering that real people wrote those, makes me feel like I'm not alone in the specific hardships I, and many people experience. Repurpose is the kind of game that will have you care about what happens, so much so that I would make a save at any choice I didn't feel confident in, so that the digital words on my screen wouldn't get mad at me.
The ability to choose your pronouns and gender, and have them actually matter is wonderful to see, as someone who doesn't often fit into the options most games have. Yes, I do get gender envy from cherry, this game knows me too well.
That isn't to say this game isn't without faults, though. I do actually remember a few of the problems I have with the game, but they're actually pretty minor.
First up: on my first playthrough, I did what I myself would've done given the choices offered to me, and ended up with a neutral ending. I didn't know this, since the little "NAME - X ending" thing that pops up is as tiny as the chapter thing in the same place, and doesn't stay long. Guess who had to replay that sequence to progress? Me! Thank cherry for the skip button.
Secondly: with the specific ending I got on my first playthrough (Kalei neutral), I was genuinely surprised when the credits started rolling. It didn't expect it to just... end like that. After playing through the other stuff, it kinda felt like a minor stepping stone to the "good stuff". Minor, but still something that rubbed me the wrong way for a bit.
Third: to anyone who wants to play this and get multiple endings: please don't make a save at a crucial moment that decides what path you will take. This is a dating sim, so it should be obvious when choices like that occur. If you do, then as far as I know, that ending either won't count if you do another on the same save, or you won't get the proper prompts if something new has shown. I don't know how this game works, so don't get on my case about this if you're reading, Eros, but this little issue made me replay three whole endings just to make them count, so be warned.
Fourth, and the most minor: I wanted to take one of the CGs for my own purposes (discord pfp lol), but uhhh. Finding them in the files was not possible for me, so now my little screenshot has an "activate windows" in the corner. If it were possible, I'd love if all the CGs were accessible easily in the files, especially considering that they absolutely exist somewhere, seeing as the "images.rpy" has what seems to be file paths in it. Not too big an issue, though, so don't fret over pleasing specifically me for this. (Also this is kinda me asking permission to use those cherry CGs as my discord pfp, teehee). Disclaimer: I used the itch.io release download for this, as I didn't know it was on steam before I got it. Maybe that changes some files around.
Fifth, and certainly not least: as a card game nerd, I can't help but feel ashamed that my character would be so disgusted by the thought of touching a playing card. It's only kinda justified when I realize that the only game people play in the afterlife is Essence. I'm more of a "King of Games" enjoyer, myself.
All in all, I think Repurpose is a good game to try out, and currently goes for the equivalent of, say, 2 cents Canadian if you buy the bundle going on right now. I'm excited to see what more the developers have in store for the game, and I hope any new enjoyers can feel the same.
As a final rating, I'd give it a "Save to make sure I choose the right path so this attractive angel will like me" out of ten.
it's when you play as the game curator's own MC, Michael! You unlock this when you enter the name "Michael" and for gender "nonbinary". It gives a little extra dialogue that's unique to that character.
just started the game, my biggest issue with it is that (at least at the beginning) the bgm is very sparse if nonexistent for very long periods of time. that with the combo of mostly quiet dialogue makes it a little hard for me to stay focused and immersed. i don't know if this is something the devs would consider or if the game is still being supported, but even a loop of the bg music i heard for... maybe a minute, near where ramon and kalei were talking, would be welcome.
besides that, a nitpick, kalei has somewhat inconsistent spelling of his pronunciation of thorn, at times it is stylized as "de, dat" and similar, and in others it is "the, that" and such. coming from a language where th/d/t are often equalized by its speakers, it is a little distracting, but not a big deal overall, just something i found interesting.
i think i'll try finding some music of my own to put in the bg until it becomes more consistent. to the devs: great work, and i wish you luck with current and future projects

FUNNY SKELETON MAN REFERENCE
YAY. I'm so back to Limbo for husbandos, waifus and beyond.
I haven't completed all the routes (with all endings) yet, but so far I am feral for Noel and DJRK. I love how many paths there are, and how each one is so different from the others. My favorite so far is the Limbo route, and the replayability is great. Still trying to get my friends to get it so I can gush with them too!

A dating sim with asexual people? I never thought I'd find one! Excited to try it.
only gay people die, obviously
This game cheered me up during a bad time, so thank you. I LOVE games about heaven, hell and limbo and your conception of these realms and the afterlife is just AWESOME! Lovely art, backgrounds and UI too.

i need to know if noel is canonically autistic cause i see a lot of myself in him! these autistics sure can code /ref
the game hits an error in chapter 3 of faye’s route if doing a platonic route
i remedied this by opening “
game\FayeRouteCh3.rpy” & replacing “elif <=7” on line 915 with “elif flove <=7”i've been recommending the hell (heh) out of this game and waiting patiently-but-fervently for the next bit
I really love this game and its artstyle with the story for each and every character! :) I like how its diverse between the genders and sexuality which I dont find often in dating sims :D!!

im 27
This game has earned more money than your shitty pngs, kiddo. Funny how you haven't even played this game yet you're spending all your time here.
Smooth brained bonobo.
"10 bugs"
Lmao
"Affront"
Lmao
Sure, buddy. Whatever you tried to say.
That sure is what I typed. Congratulations.
Found out in my 300th playthrough (my save file got lost, okay? Need to be ready when part 3 releases) that you could use a controller for this game, and now it's 100x better.
when can chromeos be supported on games
thank you for putting this in the bundle to fundraise for Palestine <33
i am not immune to pale tsunderes
Amazing game, I mean it. It's pretty rare to find a visual novel that has both LORE and great characters <3 I enjoyed every second!
Is this game fully voiced?
mostly! in the cutscenes, they are!
I absolutely adored this VN! Really enjoyed the characters :3
I've never actually played one of these types of games before, a dating game, and I wanted some advice.
So, bit of context, I'm a straight (more just attracted to afab but I just generally chalk it up to straight for ease) cis dude.

So by all means play your preferred way ^_^
Alrighty 07

I love these games. I do promote your game. I hope you decide to put it on Steam too, please.
It is on steam! :D
Sorry to ask this, but is there a way to save file edit? (yes this is about the guilt thing in one of the routes, I wanna know if you could potentionally get the cgs for all endings while also not being stuck with the -2 to the relationship)
Thank you so much!
You can lead a revolution on a giant rat (who makes all of the rules) and get into a polyamorous relationship in the same route, highly recommend it.
This was only my first route as well, I'm hyped
It is mildly annoying that seen text so you can skip it isn't transferred alongside loading saves, so it's more favorable to start an entirely new game instead of loading a previous save for another route, but else I don't have any issues yet
how do u get into the poly route!! 👀👀
The poly route is DJ Roadkill's route, like you can't do their route without ending up in a polycule (unless you get the bad ending where you dont even date but djrk's route's endings that aren't the good ending (quite easy to do btw) will come to bite you in the ass if you havent done the part 2 routes.
Noel's also at least hints at it, but DJRK's is very in your face luckily
OH HUH! i did the dj roadkill route and didn't pick up on that!! wow that rules!!!! :')
just wanted to say thank you for this game (characters, stories, vibes... love me some rainbow hopepunk). part 3 will be welcomed with opened arms when it's ready :)
r u straight
no fuckin wonder :D
Woke culture isnt real; people just exist ya numpty
You haven't given "fair criticism" because you haven't even played the game you worthless knuckle dragger.
"Woke culture" isn't real and can't "die out", the only thing that will die out are the unenvolved bonobos like you who can't think outside of whatever your drop-out, bumpkin parents told you.

Holy shit
"brain shout take any advice"
"disco music in 2024 don’t we"
"i am not the target off"
"forcing ppl to like you crap its freaking bad"
"tactics your poor, poor cry baby’s use"
"i have batter thinks to do"
"fake victim hood like you little cults."
Little dude is all the proof you need that people who cry about "woke" things are actually the dumbest chimps imaginable.
I need part 3 so bad!
OMG I PLAYED THROUGH TO CHERI'S ROUTE AND OMG??? I NEED MORE I LOVE THIS GAME! Is part 3 coming out 2025? I haven't seen anything about a release date, no rush! Just curious and excited to play more :)
that was absolutely charming omg
every fucking time, there's a pretty girl in a game and I'm like "aw she's cute I'll romance her" AND THEN THE FUCKING BROKEN LIL ANGRY TWINK COMES IN WITH A SOFT LITTLE VOICE AND EVERY TIME MAN
I'M SO WEAK TO STUPID LIL FREAKIN AAAAAAAAA
noel is so fucking cute dammit
stop making me fall for the same freaking character type I have a problem
fr tho, I started cackling the moment I heard Noel's voice! He's so good and I just met him

Okay..... What exactly is the Michaelmode? Written on Faye and cher walk through.
it's when you play as the game curator's own MC, Michael! You unlock this when you enter the name "Michael" and for gender "nonbinary". It gives a little extra dialogue that's unique to that character.
