I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the game, it has been incredible. Thank you very much for making this game and I will be eagerly waiting for the next updates. <3
i like it
Hey all, I'm here with some insider knowledge! The next update was supposed to be released sometime during the 2023-2024 holidays, but due to technical difficulties and personal problems, the update was temporarily abandoned. The good news is that development on the update has started again, and the update will have more work done on it before it gets released. It'll be out when it's out, so please don't rush or pressure the devs!
THANK YOU SM! i found the old discord inv but it was expired so ive been rotting here thinking the game was abandoned
Oh, you want a link to the server? I gotchu. Here's a permanent invite link that never expires: P5: Fan Visual Novel
I've updated the Discord Link. Use the one hyperlinked on the page, because the one Karlee made will expire eventually because she's not a mod.
oohh thank you for the info !! <3
Will it ever get updated? TT
LOVE IT, I urgently need you to add more in Akechi and Akiras' sun route please!!!
GOODBYE I actually love this so mcuchchh
This is amazing!!! Cant wait for a Ryuji route
please add more to akechis sun route 😭😭😭😭😭😭
AKECHI GOOD END REALLY CURED MY DEPRESSION THAT I HAD SINCE P5R ENDINGGGGG!!!! i can say every own character is sooo accurate!! cant wait for ryuji's route :33 ill continue to support you until the end!!!!!
i'm genunely asking anyone to teach me how can i delete the old saved data in my current game since i want to start playing the game like new , plus if there's a spesefic game that got new content but you have your old game installed and it has a bunch of saved logs , how can i delete the old saved data to update it into the new content ?
Hi there!! I just wanted to comment and tell you how grateful I am for you creating this. I can see all the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into this and it amazes me. I remember trying to play with Renpy once and thought 'hm, too complicated.', so serious props with everything you managed to do with it.
Don't listen to the whiners, this kind of stuff takes lots of work and a burn out would be eventual. They should be grateful something this high quality was even released.
But more importantly, I want you to know that Akechi's route has given me serious inspiration. I have an OC similar to Moon MC in some ways and this game gave me a really good idea of just what kind of relationship their's could possibly be. At first I only had a vague idea, but playing this has got my creative juices flowing!!!
this game alone made me love akechi omg
REAL
absolutely in love with the VN- just finished all available routes!
yayy new route update!!
Love it so much~! <33 i've fallen head over heels again for Ren. I can't wait for the complete game release >< ;;
lmao while everyone's doing well in school, i'm here falling for another fictional character--
It was because of this game that I became curious about persona series. I love kotone btw <3
notes aside.
I absolutely love this game. I've grown to love and follow other persona series as a result of this game. It is disappointing to learn that Catherine will no longer be participating in this game. But I sincerely hope that the development of this game can still go forward.
Many thanks for creating this game.
I just found the this! and I am already in love I can't when it completely done! keep up the wonderful work.
Question, when you have Ryuji and Ann as routes, do you just mean story routes or romanceable routes
I spent like almost 5 hours just sitting and playing this game. It's so fun, and I adore the finished routes so far. Sad that you (Catherine) won't be continuing working on it, but I will say you did an amazing job with what you've done thus far.
Ugh now I'm confuse.
i finished the other bad end but can't seem to have the first bad end with the less 95 affection, can someone spoil it for me ? (anyways this is such a fun game, i hope you guys work on it soon!)
I love this game, specially Akechi Route. Is very inreresting. I cant wait to play more about akechi's routes. I hope the develop continues. Good luck!
Slight Akechi Good End Spoilers
Ok the scene with Akechi in the good end... the one with the moon... oh god I'm blushing.
I've only played Akechi moon route but I can't wait to play Akira's and the rest when they're done! Really, there was so much effort put into this game, I can tell! And it's so long too. This game is so great! Thank you for your hard work!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i love the akechi route and im sooo ready for the sun route for akira, and for akechi too the rest of them too!! i hope it gets developed again!
I never got to play Persona 5 bcuz it costs money, so finding this game makes me really happy!!! I can't wait to see the finished result!
Hi! I literally made an account just to make a message lmao. I just wanted to say that I really fell in love with this game! There was so much effort put into visuals and the stories kept me glued to my screen! I kept giggling during some of the parts of Akira and Akechis stories not only from cuteness but from how well put together it was! Great work! Cant wait to see more! (Unless y’all stopped or smth 😭)
naming myself Goro Akechi to romance Akira and then Akira Kurusu to romance Akechi, probably going to be confusing if the actual characters ever show up but.. LMAO LETS GOOO I'M EXCITED ALREADY
I LOVE IT!! the stories are so well done
please finish this
Hey, are you guys still working on it?
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
ive been looking for a persona dating sim since FOREVER!!
time to hunt for a p3 one now ahaha!!
This game single-handedly made me want to buy Persona 5. Like I genuinely didn't think I would find a visual novel this good!! Thank you for creating such a wonderful game <3
I don't usually comment but just wanted to say I love this game so much!! thank you to everyone that's worked on it.
First off; I messed up by submitting applications out of time, I'm so sorry, I just wanted to give it a shot and I didn't bother to ask if you were already a bit too overwhelmed or no longer accepting after like a year of posting that announcement. Just disregard me completely if I did an oopsie; at this moment clearly my Arcana is The Fool.
But other than that...This game. I played it a few months ago and was blown away - I keep thinking about it a lot from just how memorable it is. There is so much I want to say right now that I think I'll have to come back to it yet again to do it justice. The unfinished routes already have a really solid foundation, and Akira's is excellent too (though I've never been into Akira tbh), but man, Akechi's Moon route is just SO well-done and really surprised me. It has so many different little nods to your choices that make it super satisfying to play through (and replay, because I really wasn't expecting there to be nods to that as well!), the endings are well-chosen and satisfying, and it's overall just such good quality that it genuinely reminded me of some official routes from good otome games I've played. I also really liked the Moon protagonist. She's relatable enough but she also has her own little story arcs and character development; it's excellent. It's a beautiful project. I think what you already have here is so great that I legitimately won't mind waiting as long as it takes, or if life just gets in the way in general that's fine. I'm super happy with what I got to play. Kudos to everyone involved.
I just hope you're still working on this, it would be a shame if something this beautiful that has so much to offer gets abandoned. Some small updates will be nice. 🧡
are you guys still working on this?
