a few nights with the Doki's: the beginning of a nightmare

I actually find this game sorta fun because it doesn't take an eternity to like amp up in difficulty. But in the final night 5 on both versions, the Sayori character walks up to the door and makes a sound, but it seems like every time they do, they never do it again, making it harder to tell if she is at the door or not. And with the power drain being as honestly unforgiving as it is, I'm like 99% sure the night 5 is impossible. I even used a custom macro so i could hit the buttons instantly when I needed too but it just drains too quickly

This was pretty good!

Review time !!
don't take this as an insult please, I do not intend it to be that way, also spoilers if you haven't played (also try not to be overwhelmed with what I listed please)

so, overall I think this game is pretty good for the little I played, though I do have a handful of cons

the first thing, this is more of a nitpick so take this with a grain of salt, but I feel like the power drains a bit too fast, I may just be bad at saving power but for night 2 basically all I was doing was looking back and forth and checking on natsuki, I barely used the cameras unless I needed to check on monika if I was unsure of where she was and I had gotten down to 19% around 5 AM or so, so maybe tweak it to drain slower but that depends on what you were going for in the first place

again for that last one, I may have just had bad luck or something too, and I attempted night 2 a second time and managed to beat it so I was probably just bad at saving power 💀

and this next one is also mainly a nitpick, but the office scroll feels a bit slow to me, not to mention kinda buggy? I'd imagine you're still somewhat new to this so don't feel like this is a BIG THING that needs to be addressed, because again it's mostly a nitpicky thing

honestly that's all I can think of that's actually worthy of mentioning, though now I'll talk about some bugs I encountered (they're honestly pretty small)
the most strange one for me was the fact that I was able to close the office doors while I was in the cameras, I was able to click the buttons in the cameras basically, though this is probably a bug you won't notice unless you accidentally trigger it

and also, because the strat I picked up on night 2 was to basically just only flip up the cams to check on nats, another bug I noticed is the fact that alot of times other sounds cancel eachother out, IE I'd been flipping up the cams so much the sound for the pannel flipping up pretty much stopped entirely (though this isn't much of an actual issue) compared to some others, but because some sounds cancel eachother out, there were times when Moni and Yuri didn't make any noise to indicate they had left, so I was pretty much left to guess, also I think sayori's jumpscare sound cancelled out too because she didn't make any noise when she did

speaking of Sayori, I didn't know if I had to hold my flashlight on her or if I had to actually flash her so I think that's why I died to her

this comment is already kinda long so I'll cap it off here, again don't be insulted by this, but rather try and use it to learn and improve because I see potential here ♥

Hey. I finally got around to playing this and had a lot of fun!

I liked the charm of the game from the random and entertaining story, to crying when I tried to quit on the warning screen and making a strategy to survive the 4 Doki's at night!

...Though I have a few small problems. I'll list them here and you can go back and fix them, watch out for them in the sequel or completely disregard this list if you want (seeing as it's YOUR fangame! Ahaha~)

I just wanna give some constructive criticism, though I understand our views may not fully align, and most of these are just nit-picks anyways... (which start after the grey scaled hearts)

• I can't beat Night 5. No matter what I've tried, I can't find Monster Yuri on the cams nor use the audio lures

• I also wish Monika explained Natsuki a bit better because I got slightly confused

  • For Natsuki, mentioning that her eyes don't appear in the hall like Monika when she leaves ~ the Manga Zone ~

  • For Sayori mentioning that you have to hold the light instead of flickering it like with Withered Foxy, which I assumed because of the reference

• I like Night 1 and 2, but I wish Night 3 brought in Sayori so Night 4 could be a final test against the Home Doki's before Night 5

• I also wish the dialogue was coloured so it's a bit easier to connect text with the characters saying it

• On the note of dialogue as well I was the IRL sections with Coma Kid's friend were also on Night's 3-5, maybe showing her visiting Coma Kid or continuing the rope-on-the-stairs plot and seeing where that would go, and what Luna was planning with it (if it WAS her, that it) or even just an extra scene on the Night Coma Kid tells Monika she likes her friend and we see the friend hint at their own feelings beforehand or etc.

Really enjoyed this and I can't wait for the 2nd game! (Though I wish I could finish this one, but anyways... oWo)
