REFLEXIA Prototype ver.
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The protagonist spends her days cooped up inside, sinking countless hours into eroges. She would've ended up bored to death eventually, if one day she wasn't teleported into a visual novel!
Of course, something like this isn't exactly a good situation for the young lady. Not only will you be privy to all of her shameful thoughts, you'd also demand entertainment from her. Isn't that why you came to read this story?
Seems like she will now, at the very least, need to go outside to buy groceries... Because no matter where she goes, the plot will await her!
Features:
- - totally original and definitely not cliche in any way love interests among which are girls named Yandere-chan and Dandere-chan;
- - more than two hundred choices (for a game of only an hour's worth of play!) that totally do matter, related to the heriones;
- - three different endings (and you definitely won't be forced to read all of them to understand the overarching plot better!);
- - this list doesn't contain any lies and in no way tries to subvert your expectations;
- - okay, fine, this is just your average yuri harem eroge without any plot whatsoever.
Technical features:
- × Graphics done in a whooping 640x480 screen resolution!
- × Yume Nikki-like music: addicting less-than-ten-seconds loops included!
- × Big breasts.
This is a prototype version of the REFLEXIA VN, which can also be considered a remake.

作者! 为什么点了自动播放就卡住了啊!
。。。不会就是这样设计的吧?
The large majority of this game felt almost a little too gratuitously self-aware and “meta”, making me reflect upon what being “meta” means and the point at which it begins to destabilise the story and the very fabric of reality. However, it played brilliantly into the conclusion, which was so simplistic yet beautiful - because the player stayed, despite there being no save options, no meaningful choices, no “actual eroge”, no “payoffs” - the “protagonist” was able to feel even just a little loved. But also realise that others’ actions, not just their words, are a testament to this. A thoroughly worthwhile play <3
wow que maravilloso juego gran trabajo saludos
Nah man because this game was so good, it's hard to explain why.
Seems like I'm in the minority here, but I think this game is a good concept hindered by a so-so meta setting.
Now, this is a prototype version of a VN that should improve on it, and while the art has a really cool style, the writing could definitely use some more polish. It spends too much time going "haha, this is a game, and you just want your harem, don't you silly player?" in a way that feels obnoxious really quickly. Despite only being 45 minutes long, having a bunch of that being Yandere-chan and Dandere-chan that this is just a game and that you should take them on a date because it's an eroge gets tiring really quickly, especially considering how bland the characters are, as they're just "anime girl stereotype but meta oooooo", and the meta elements being making your average QOL options a nuisance (the Auto function softlocks you, you can't skip, the automatic text speed on dialogues is way too fast to read anything and it likes to do auto dialogue A LOT...) surely don't help. (Oh, and taking a screenshot crashes the game, you might want to look into that lol)
So, not the best first impression, and that unfortunately left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the VN, which is a shame because the game reveals the untapped potential it could have later on. Discussions linking determinism to being a video game character and thus having everything written for you, overall more interesting meta writing on the second loop... the game definitely ends better than it starts. Despite the Insert_Disc part of the game feeling unnecessary, as it just gets confusing despite not really showing anything new, and doesn't really feel like it has a purpose overall.
The ending is the only moment where I feel like the game reached its full potential, with the whole talk about color and the art change, I just wished it focused more on the psychologic aspect of the characters and less on the "haha meta eroge" part.
I know I'm in the minority anyways, but again, there's definitely potential here (hell, the ending managed to match that potential!), and this still managed to interest me enough to see what the full thing will be like! ^^
She will focus to fix herself.
how do i open on mac ?
I LOVE THIS HAVE IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I HAVEN'T PLAYED ANYTHING THIS GOOD
love it
Bro, isn't there an android version?
been through quite something, also familiar somehow. thanks for this creation you made, also everyone in this world w/
.... thanks? ....
Foi uma curta e incrivelmente emocional experiência, espero que chegue uma continuação logo.
Прекрасная игра, довольно приятная и забавная, даже с русским языком. Советую к прохождению.
Thanks for this wholesome game!
Android ?
best game
This is on of the best game, I have ever played , it centainly made me reflect and think some things about my existence.
Hello, a question, can I emulate it on Android? Or is an android version coming soon?
69... nice
это было что-то с чем то, использовать факт присутствия игрока в новелле как решающий элемент - гениально
If a person this pure really exists, I feel like life would be a real struggle.
я теперь не чувствую что день прошёл зря
When you are playing chess in 4 dimensions.
Really like the game, first caught my attention when I saw the artstyle on some of the breakcore albums on youtube.
Про выбор в игре все правда, выбор был всегда)
Que jogo perfeito
Obrigado por ter aparecido misteriosamente na minha steam (sim eu não faço a mínima ideia de como esse jogo foi parar na minha steam mas foi simplesmente um dos melhores jogos que ja joguei).
Espero ansiosamente que tenha uma continuação.
thank you!!
Que jogo bom!!
A historia do jogo realmente me prendeu, no começo parece apenas uma satira com o genero visual novel, mas de acordo que se aprofundamos na historia, percebemos que é bem mais que isso, não vou falar muito pra não dar spoiler, pois a experiencia que esse jogo passa é muito boa, espero que venha continuação pois quero muito saber mais :) a sacada de usar as conquistas como um elemento ativo no jogo tambem é muuuito legal, jogo ta recomendado, é de graça, vale a pena jogar!!
thank you very much!!!
Its easier while playing on non windows platform for me,
thanks for releasing it on itch.io
thank you for playing!
Already loved this on steam! Played it back when it first came out and I've got to say, it's still amazing, and I'm looking forward to the full game :>
thank you very much!!!
nice prototype
thank you very much for playing, very glad you liked it!!
(if you haven't been through the game beyond the video, there's a continuation!)
Loved this.
P.P.P.P.S. If you haven't played this game already just do it.
ahaha thank you!!
