I can't wait for the full release, these characters are really cool! I want to see where the story goes with Dia and Yoru, something tells me Yoru has a really interesting story to tell

(+1)

Heyy, thank you for playing Don't Trust Him. I'm glad you enjoyed the game so far. I wish to meet your expectations in the future updates <3

(+1)

I love the game so far, but how do you get Dia and Yoru's good ending? I keep on getting to Leon and Riley's good ending. I want the other endings; if anyone knows how to get them, could you maybe explain how to get Dia and Yoru's good ending if so?

(+2)

Currently, and unfortunately, there aren't any Dia or Yoru endings yet ;( 

I'll add them when I can get some time

aw, but thank you for replying I loved playing it and can't wait for the other endings!

i just came across this and i want to say i really like it so far! i can't want to see what else you have in store. :)

(+1)

Aaa thank you so much, I'm happy to hear you liked my game so far. Thank you for playingg <3 <3

I love how all our boys are Yanderes >3> *hugs them all*

And they all love you too ;)

(yk bc yandere lmao)

I loved the game! The character design, the background, the music, everything is amazing! But a little question I noticed, are all (or at least most pirates) yanderes? Like Yoru started to act kind of SUS when Leon disappeared and Riley, I was already suspicious of him from the beginning to be honest (even though he is cute), so I have this doubt, and also a good ending and a bad one for each character? Because I already "unlocked" (if we can put it that way) Leon's good and bad endings and I wanted to know if the other characters will also have this dynamic of having good and bad endings, sorry for the long text

(+2)

Yep all of the pirates are different types of yanderes. (I can specify if you want me to.) 
Currently there are 2 bad endings for Leon, 1 good ending for Leon and 1 good ending for Riley (and there's also a general normal ending). I have planned in my head to make at least 1 good and 1 bad endings for all of the characters. I'll probably come up with more endings for the new (and hopefully completed) version of the game, so stay tuned. Mwah <3 

Im not sure if this is correct, but when I count I end up with three bad endings for Leon. (Vespa?, You became Vespa, and You don't Love Leon anymore.) I'm not sure if Vespa? Is a ending. Please correct me if I wrong. 

(1 edit) (+1)

The "Vespa?" one is an easter egg so it doesn't exactly count as an actual ending. 

(2 edits)

I love it but a lot of scuff in here doesn't make sense like in the beginning we say we cant make out the moan making me think that the ship have a thick walls then a text comes up saying thin walls that made me confused also there some text where you made a mistake there are many but not too much so just go over your work and i really love the game that's all i got to say 

(+1)

Thank you so much for the feedback, I appreciate it really. And it's good to say that I'm making a "remake" of this, stay tuned <3

Your welcome (◍•ᴗ•◍)

love it but I never want to check the room my mind like it's not my room don't snoop XD >3> thou I look at the guide and now i know why XD I need too I do hope I get Dia and Yoru good ending someday :O 

(1 edit)

I'll keep that in mind lol as a curious and kinda noisy person I never thought the player wouldn't want to check it out lmao Thanks for playing and actually Yoru and Dia good endings are ready I just need to write the script properly aaaa

XD I am glad I could give a different outlook lol I guess that best part having fans :D >w< thank for everything <3

yes definitely :) and well the pleasure was all mine <3

(+1)

Yoru is hot I hope he'll be romanceable in the future. And nice game so far.

(+2)

Thank you! Yoru will be romanceable in the next update I promise. Once I'm done with some issues, that is :') Everything is ready, I just need some free time to put them in the game. In the meantime, I will be posting drawings of the characters on my socials, you can check them out if you're interested. 

(+2)

Is it on hold or something?

(+1)

Yes, lots of unfortunate things happened so I decided to put it on hold for a bit. But I regularly post about the story and characters on my tumblr and twitter so if you're interested you can check those out. 

I'm sorry to hear that, you can take your time and dont rush (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) mind if I ask for a link in your tumblr or twitter please? I'm really interested in this game and willing to wait hehe (つ✧ω✧)つ

(+1)

Thank youu~ You're so nice! <3 And of course! My tumblr is @artisticvillain and here's the twitter dedicated to the game @donttrusthimvn 

(1 edit)

I liked the story but i think the dialogues are kinda rushed as in the exchange we have with the other people is too awkward in my opinion.

Edit:Forgot to say that: I also didn't like the fact that most choices someway didn't mattered since you get the same results. Even some of them are not making 100% sense. But no hate tho just my perspective.


 Still enjoyed it too ^^

(+1)

Thank you so much for the feedback! To be honest, yes, this game is completely rushed. I didn't have any experience in game making and the base of this game was made in a week. I'm aware writing is not my best skill, I mostly dedicated my time to draw the characters. I also have had a run of bad luck when making this game which is the cause of weird and awkward bits. Still these are just excuses, I'll take your words to heart and do better in my future projects since I won't continue working on this game anymore. 

I'm glad you at least enjoyed it. Thank you for playing :p 

(1 edit)

I see ^^

 Good luck on those future projects :D

I will definitely check them out :D

i really enjoyed the game!! riley's my fav, and thank you so much for adding a submissive male romantic interest :)




***SPOILER***

if you take suggestions... then i think it'd be cool to flesh out the easter egg ending where you name yourself "vespa"!! maybe you can show that the mc has regained their memories, and we can see their dynamic with leon, as well as their past??

(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I love sub men so I had to add one to my game lol 

And thank you so much for the suggestion. I'm always open for new persperctives and ideas, and yours is an awesome idea. I should definitely do that. It'll be so cool!

(+1)

Nice to see you again ^^

(+1)

hi friend :D!!

(+1)

Hehe :D

I see your favorite character is Riley how come?

(+2)

i'm a fan of submissive male romantic interests!! and i think it's really unique that riley is both a yandere and submissive, since most yanderes are dominant!! who's the character you liked the most btw :)??

(+1)

I see i'm actually the opposite i actually like dominant male love interests. So i enjoyed Leon. I also like flirty and a "douchey" with a funny/ sassy attitude to a certain extent like Rasmus from "Broken Colors". Dia also reminds me of that description. ^^

Bayıldımmm hikaye anlatımın ayrı güzel, çizimlerin ayrı güzel arayada korku ögeleri koymanı aşırı sevdim umarım hakettiğin değeri görürsün

Çok teşekkür ederim. O kadar mutlu etti ki yorumun beni. Umarım oyunu bitirdiğimde de beğenirsin <3

I guess a warning for an easter egg??



BROOOO NOT THE GAME SHAMING ME IN TURKISH AFTER I PUT IN MY GO TO NAME, ''anan'' JDFSKLSDFKJLFFDSJ

Ah please DGHDGL I just HAD TO add that after one of my friends named the mc "anan"

Your friend is just like me fr fr FNJDFHDKJSL

To the developer,


I just wanna say that I liked this game and I enjoy the writing style so far (minus the grammar mistakes and errors). However I do want to ask something.


I got 4 endings (both the bad ones, the one good end and the one normal end) out of the main 5 demo endings. But I wonder how do you get the second good ending in the demo.


I'm saying this because I'm a completionist and I want to get that one final ending before I let the demo game stay on my computer being unplayed and yeah.



Hope you respond with an ending guide or something for that second good end because I do not know how to get it. :V

Hello hello! First of all, thank you for playing the demo and I'm glad you liked it. I'll be sure to correct the grammar mistakes as well as improve my writing skills :) Also you're right I should come up with an ending guide but in the meantime can you tell me which good ending you got? I want to tell you how to achieve the second one without making you wait much.

(1 edit)

No problem! You're very welcome. And also, I'm a sucker for yandere content and I like pirates so I of course wanted to play this game.


But I do have to say that before you recently updated this game (got it in my feed), I currently have the 1.0 version of the game on my pc.


I think I might uninstall and then reinstall the game with the newer 2.1 version. Although, with the version of the game I have (the 1.0 version), I had got the first good end that said "Leon loves (the name I gave myself as the mc)".



And as I only got the first good end by saying "Yes" as the other choices led to the two bad ends in the secret room scene, I don't know how you'd achieve the second good ending unless it's before that part of the game. Or am I missing something?


Once again, I think I might get the newer updated version of this game since you had updated it after I commented before the update several hours ago.

I don't know if you have downloaded the 2.1 version yet but if you haven't, here's what to do. Yes indeed you have to do some things before the secret room scene. The second good ending is actually for Riley and to get there you should not change the topic when Riley flirts with you. (Just don't click the "Change the topic" option the other two are fine) then you must ask him about the locked room before checking the room out by yourself. 

This still works for the 1.0 version btw. Have fun! 

Oh okay, thanks. I will take a screenshot once I have the ending and I might as well install the 2.1 version and see what's new in that.


Continue making the game the best it could be, I love your work and I would strive to see the full game one day.

I LITERALLY PLAYED 14 MINUTES OF THIS GAME AND IT QUICKLY BECAME MY FAVORITE GAME (btw thanks for making this game and some fucking hot characters)

Thank you so muchh. I'm glad you liked my game! Also ikr who doesn't love a bunch of hot babes ~~

(+1)

oml...i fell in love with yoru. pls tell me in the future he will be romanceable T_T

YES DON'T WORRY! He will be romancable soon and have multiple endings 

LETS GOOO

(+1)

Hey, I've a question. Are we able to change the pronouns of the reader/player? No matter the answer, I'll still download the game <3

(+2)

Yes you can choose your pronouns!

(+1)

OH MY GOSH, HELL YES!! THANK YOUUUU, MWA MWAMWA

(+2)

You're welcomeee <3 <3 Lmk if you like the game when you get a chance to play 

Oh my god, hello! It's been such a long time- I'm sorry I couldn't reply. I've been swamped with my studies and forgot about the game, I've only been able to play it recently and It was a masterpiece! I think I've acquired all endings and I'm still aching for more hwehwhehwehhwhe-  

[Spoiler ahead]

Also, the part where Leon holds up your leg as he says "What's wrong darling? Can't handle a little teasing?" I... exploded. The background music matched what was happening! And the way the characters are drawn... I died, man!
But but but but, Riley's Endings were hidden gems! I didn't think he'd be so submissive at that one part. I held my breath as soon as he got on the bed. This will be on my top 3! I can't wait for more endings. 

 Thank you for being so sweet when you saw my comment almost 200 days ago! I've never seen an author/artist be so positive and energetic.  I hope you have a nice rest of the year, and be safe! Please, feel comfortable talking to me about anything. I'll gladly listen!

Thank you for making this, dear ArtisticVillian! I appreciate your work and all your efforts, I hope more people could recognize and  enjoy your game/visual novel.

(+1)

Hey heyy! You can't imagine how much your comment means to me aaaah. Hope you're doing okay and can get a break from your studies. And thank you so much I'm SO glad you've liked the game. I did my best to find the matching bg music for each character, I'm happy to see you find it fitting as well! 

The pleasure is all mine. And you are being so nice too, I might as well match your energy hehe~ 

Thank you for your kind words, hope you will have the best year and stay safe! I'm very touched by the "Please, feel comfortable talking to me about anything. I'll gladly listen!" part AAa- Same goes for you too btw. Don't hesitate! (If you have any social media accounts we can even talk from there-if you want.)

Lastly, I really appreciate how you took the time to play the game, get all the endings and let me know about the experience. Really gave me confidence to continue on game making. Thanks a lot!

i really loved the game! the boys are pretty, and the backgrounds are good too!! thank you vm! i have a question still... how many endings is there? i'm just not sure if i got them all

(+1)

I'm so glad you liked it! Currently there are 5 endings; 2 bad endings, 2 good endings and 1 normal ending.
