I really enjoyed this! I believe I must have gotten the safe route my first play through, so I play on playing through it again! it is intriguing and has a nice undertone that makes it a bit uncomfortable, so you suspect Friend has other motives. Definally looking forward to the full release!
I love this game so muchh. I regret not knowing this before.
I like how Friend always says "Its ok if u don't want to" and the fact he's glitching!
(a bit of spoiler below) I got interested when things would go back in time and there were some glitchy parts of him/ Noticed that in the main menu it says "Play with me" and some choices had Friend's message like "apologize, i'll forgive you". I'm excited for the full game and the lore, especially Friend's well written character too!!
I was wondering what happened to the save and the option when I was playing. It isn't there anymore after the update. The game itself is amazing! I can't wait to see more from the game. Hopefully theirs a walk through for the Secret Ending and other ending as well. I really love Friend. What a gentlemen he is. ♥
Really enjoyed the game! Friend is probably one of the better written characters of this genre I have come across, I can see why the mc is friends with him, and I like how his actions aren't too over the top and unrealistic. Loved it!
I really loved the game and plot I just really hope you make it available for android because my phone is an android so I had to play this on desktop,overall I love the game.
HOW have I not played this before? male yanderes are my fave and Friend is so hot,, I will do my best to monetarily supp you next paycheck! love, love, loveeee this game
I can't believe I just discovered this game! And here I was thinking I had already played every Yandere game available, haha.
I really liked it! Friend was very charming, and I enjoyed the times when you could see his darker personality peeking through his, well, friendliness.
I really enjoyed this game, it felt realistic and balanced. Not too fast or too slow, perfect. Great work! I can't wait to see what you make in the future.
It depends on if you have windows or apple, but with windows, you just hit the download button on the previous page. I usually open the downloads folder and move it to my desktop so I can find it easily. Then you need to unzip it, again I usually just do that right to the desktop. Then after it's unzipped you open the folder and find the game that should be listed as see thru: Need a friend.exe, double click that and it should open to the game's main menu.
I hope this helps, if you need more help, just let me know.
Also, you need to have a program on your computer that lets you unzip files. So if you right-click on the first file you download and it doesn't say anything about extracting files or unzipping them, you need to download a program. There are several free ones, you just have to google.
It was so worth the wait! Admittedly I only recently started becoming aware of this visual novel over at Tumblr where I was curious about this character named Friend solely because "Who names someone Friend? I gotta look into it a little bit" and I did. I'm not super well-versed at what's going on which kinda worked in my favor as I was pulled in by the mystery of this situation, where I was curious just what exactly is Friend and what's happening.
But other than that, I loved the little tricks going on such as looking around the room, the obvious reference to MDHM (when I saw Alan I squealed omg), the fade out of Friend leaving behind some of his expressions (I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but I liked it), how Friend literally felt like, well, a friend but with something going on. I nearly forgot he was a yandere because of how much the atmosphere between MC and Friend felt so amiable (well I suppose I'm biased since I only got the Boyfriend Ending and I'm not feeling particularly brave or cruel enough to be a bit rude to Friend).
I'm very excited for the full release because while looking around the game files I saw new characters and they look really cool and interesting! I don't know what sorts of stuff will be brought on by these new faces but regardless I'm looking forward to what these characters will bring to the table! (drama, it's drama that'll be brought)
Great work on this visual novel! I thoroughly enjoyed it and had a lot of fun playing it! Well, other than me being very flustered and having to lean back so far I flopped to the bed when Friend became flirty and all that, hehe, looking forward to see what sorts of shenanigans will come in the full game~!! Hopefully MC makes it out alive~!! Pls...
Many thoughts about this!! All good!!! I enjoyed it immensely and cannot wait to throw money at a full release.
Friend's design interests me very much! Probably because I'm an art student and have been extensively pushed to analyze visuals... Regardless! Primary colors coupled with pitch black is what initially caught my attention when I saw dear Friend for the first time (banger name choice btw). The primaries are generally reserved for "child's things" (like those big wooden block sets for small children) and are most often coupled with white (purity and lightness: Sunny Day Jack's design comes to mind), but using black (generally reserved for death or a bad omen) had me looking for Friend's origin pretty much immediately because it's a more unusual combination. Unusual enough that I can't really think of anyone/anything to compare it to off the top of my head!
That, and his golden, anime-yellow hair with cutesy hair clips coupled with his... well, his face. Cutie though he be, there's a disconnect between his presentation and his expressions. He looks somewhere between haunted and chronically exhausted. And it works!! It's the perfect line between "sweet tired lad" and "offputtingly creepy."
This is getting longer than intended, but the bottom line is!! I love looking at this game! And playing it was a blast!!!! And I am having a great time and cannot wait for more ! <33
Hello fellow art student! Lol. Thank you so much for playing and I'm so glad you enjoyed the visuals as well! My friend and I wanted them to be the best we can put out!
It makes me happy to hear when I get told Friend's design is unique! He's been through a lot of redesign in the past lol
I love lengthy feedback, and thank you again for checking this out!
Great Game Lad, That Run or Hide Thing Scared The Shit Outta Me, Also I Would Of Smacked The Shit Outta Of Friend If He Put His Hand On My Lap To be Honest, But Hey Self control Right?
So freakin good! And for a demo too? It's awesome! The plot and the character, friend, are interesting as hell. Thank you, developer, for your hard work! I definitely recommend people to play. Hope to see more!
Wait wait wait, where's the Patreon link? Frankly, for someone to post a demo of a game of such quality and not have a way to support the developer is insulting. Jokes aside though, great demo! Definitely going to have to check up on this game page frequently to see if a Patreon link gets added. Till then, keep up the spectacular work!
Omg thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game!! We do have a Patreon here! I make special monthly prints, sketches, early access to game things and more stuff. It's completely optional though, I don't want anyone to feel like they HAVE to get the Patreon since I know everyone's financial situation is different.
Oh, delightful! Though of course not everyone has the spare money to be a Patreon member for every single content creator of interest, and heck, it's awesome you made this game (at least the demo!) free to play allowing for a much broader audience to try this lovely game, but it's hardly a greedy thing to ask for a monthly cup of coffee to support enjoyable content when it comes to indie game production. However, while I am personally more than happy to support your Patreon, might I inquiry you on when you will add a $10(and or larger) options? >And thank you for the lengthy reply!
This was genuinely so sweet oh my gosh. I wasn't sure if it'd be okay for me to create a more expensive tier since I don't want to make people think I'm doing this all for the money or anything. This is something I genuinely enjoy doing.
But, I'll see what I can do about a $10 tier (I'll try to think of something extra cool for it)! Thank you so very much for the support, I really appreciate it!!
I'm just gonna say this, I've played plenty of questionable dating simulators but this one has got to be the first I've had this strong of a physical reaction.
See Thru: Need a Friend? is an interesting experience to play through. I'm definitely going to be going through the rest of the endings at another time when I can, cos it's just fascinating to me how your own perception can change depending on how you interact with Friend.
Really glad to have gotten the suggestion to play this game by EspoirDuVide.
