Sighs, grabbing cash..../j (But I probably will buy this game :D  )

I haven't played this game yet (still gotta get that card lol), but is it just me or...

Is that guy volumnius? Bro you don't know how I've analyzed even the silhouette of his hair only to realise that I could check his height and weight to have earlier confirmed my suspicions😭

came here from poetry, much lore

Hello, i would like to know if it is necessary to play the female Li route to get the full story or it can be skipped 

This was a good game I enjoyed playing. Easy 10/10. The soundtrack and the characters were on point.

I finally got around to buying and playing this VN after eyeballing it for so long, and it was 100% worth every penny and every second. 

For brevity's sake, I'll simply list every aspect of the game that I loved: the writing; the sprinkling of jokes; the creepy moments; the quirky, painterly art style; the surreal elements; the lovable cast of characters (with my favorite character being a certain bespectacled person); the occasional tonal shifts; the point-and-click gameplay; the puzzles (I was so proud of myself for finishing everything on my own despite being a shameless walkthrough user in general); the catchy music; the voice acting; the interface; the guide book (I just remembered I forgot to check it during my last playthrough so I should go back and see what's changed!); the thoughtful exploration of the concepts of death and regret; and so much more. 

Even though I got all the endings (to my knowledge) and the epilogue, I'm still missing some images in the gallery and a few Steam achievements. Even so, I found this VN to be very fulfilling and satisfying and polished. Thank you very much for creating this masterpiece and for sharing it with us!

I missed the free weekend noooo. I really want to play this game so bad but I don't have the money for it. The art is pretty and I like stories like this. It reminds me of Angel Beats. So far, the reviews are good so I hope I can play this game one day.

I'm not even at the end of it yet, but oh my god, I love this game !! I got my hands on it while it was free and wanted to play it before Poetry in Purgatory (for continuation you know), I'm not disappointed in the slightest ! The artistic direction, the visual aspect, the art style...this game is so beautiful. The story is very interesting, and I really like Astrid as the main character ! Thank you for this game, can't wait to play the sequel when I'll be able to :D

Got it while it was free weekend and just finished all of it and I LOVED IT! 

The story was so nicely written and hit me wayy too hard in the feels that I found myself teary eyed reading it at times lmaO

And I ABSOLUTELY adore the characters! They didn't feel flat and their designs are great! I'm so hyped up for the sequel  bc I just wanna read more of the game's world and it's characters so badly

Also Astrid was such an absolute delight of an MC to read!! I love her design and personality sm tht I drew a quick lil fanart of her! <33

I started playing it thanks to the free weekend event, and I am really enjoying it. The art is very pretty, the puzzles fun and the story interesting. Thank you for making this game and sharing it with us :)

Does this work on linux through proton? or native linux binary?

A mí tampoco me funciona el juego. Primera imagen de carga y se cierra..OPPO a53s android 12

FYI I tried opening the game on Android and it immediately crashes

wow, i really am speechless. i played this game to occupy myself thinking it was one of those games where you simply keep reading and pressing the spacebar, but i was blown away by this game. the incredible attention to detail, the depth of characters, the art, the music, the overarching storyline, the tiny 4th wall breaks and the fact that you have this plot unraveling and yet coming together so perfectly over the course of playing all the routes. absolutely incredible. and the ending too, i saw someone in the comments talking about how they felt it wasnt fitting well but i quite liked the feeling of something still ambiguous. 

all in all, i simply cannot express in words how much i loved this game. much love to all the devs and creators involved. a beautiful game <3

Oh, boy. Where do I begin? This was... an experience. In the good way.

After playing the O2A2 entry of Purgatoryverse, I knew I have to check the full story out and I was definitely not disappointed. The premise is simple enough – you're in the purgatory. Get out. Simple enough, right? Wrong. Cue figuring out your memories, navigating relationships, finding out secrets, arguing with entities and, in general, feeling, lots and lots of feeling. This game did make me cry a couple of times and I won't deny if ever asked about it. Emotional moments can, and will, pack a punch, so if you tend to cry easily, don't download without a pack of tissues near. I'm being serious here. Also be prepared to get attached to the characters. You don't have to like them, but you'll get attached either way.

I love the meta layer. I love the Purgatory mythos that was created here. I did gasp at the epilogue and the post credit scene. I laughed at the references in flavor texts (if you didn't click on EVERYTHING, did you really play this game? Go back and click everything after every major event, now). I enjoyed the puzzles, though I kept forgetting about having an inventory at the beginning which made progress, well, impossible. Sometimes I got stuck, but after my first playthrough, I started catching the drift of how things work around here and only had to go to see the walkthrough once. The satisfaction after solving every problem/puzzle was truly serotonin inducing.

Everything is beautifully polished (the main screen changing, sprites blinking, burning candles on the text box, Astrid's reflection appearing in the mirror once you hover over it...) and the game is truly delightful to look at as well. It was a beautiful mix to experience. 

Would I recommend this game? Absolutely. If you're still on the fence about it, get off the fence now. Get it. Now. Meanwhile, I'll just sit on the Bench of Hopefully Not So Eternal Wait and I'll wait for the next arrival in the series.

I really enjoyed playing this. 

I wanted to leave an articulate comment worthy of this game and how completely amazing it is, but I don't even know where to start. I love this. I love the characters (I love how they're kind of updated versions of some classic tropes). I love the story. I love the puzzle aspect. I love the writing in general. The art is adorable. I just love it. I wish I could say more, but my brain is still buzzing. Even though I've completed every route, I'll definitely be coming back to this game in the future. So, so good!

I finally got to finish the entirety of the definitive edition for this game and I'm truly at a loss for words. This game is absolutely so amazing and I'm so glad I was able to experience both old and new routes. The music is so good and each piece really fit well with each scene! All of the characters are so intricate and they have so much depth to them that now, it's difficult for me to be able to choose a favorite. However, I can definitely say that this is truly one of my favorite visual novels ever. I had so much fun playing this game and I look forward to the Steam version and any new games you may make in the future!!

This game was beautiful! To interested players: I can't recommend trying to get all of the endings enough. (For the beautiful art, and the extra story)

**Spoilers below*

Wow. I can't believe how hard the solo route hit me. In the beginning, with the silhouette saying "You don't belong here" I went straight to assuming Astrid's death was going to be abuse related. Of course, those stories can be pulled off very well and emotionally, but I have seen quite a few. Seeing Astrid and Vol's argument felt so real. You could genuinely see they loved each other and wanted things to work out for the best. When Astrid discovered the reason for her death and that Vol's last words were 'I love you'...I can't describe the feeling. Her learning to move on from her guilt was a moving story, and very well written at that. I loved every part of it! Great job.

That being said, I hate to criticize such a lovely game, but I have to remark on the epilogue. I thought the idea of getting a glimpse into Vol's afterlife was great, and the little "date" between him and Astrid was sweet. However, I felt Remmy's character was very unnecessary. It seemed to ruin the tone of the game a bit, and boil it down to a simple "To be continued?" ending. 

Overall, a stunning game with a moving story and beautiful art. I hope to see more games from you in the future :)

Hello!

I'm an enthusiast and creator of the project "Keeper of Time". Specialize in translating visual novels and comics into Russian. I understand if, due to the current terrible situation, you immediately stop reading after this. I'm writing with a proposal to translate ur game into Russian. I don't sell translations and leave all links on authors, I also do not take money from the owners of the original for my work. If you want, I can show you my project list.

u can contact me: keepersoftimerus@gmail.com

Awaiting your reply, with respect, Deer.

aaa i completed the full game, and the art is gorgeous!! however, i'm a bit confused with the ending ;;

- major spoilers below !! -

i'm sorry if i'm just dumb, but i got lost during "the guide" route. i gave people items the guide gave me, and everyone starts acting weird/happy? then suddenly we're in a cafe with the guide dude and we dance with him?? (didn't he just mess with our friend's heads?) i have no idea why everyone's acting weird and now there's this god thing eating emotions? also why did our dead boyfriend appear and move in with us?  also who is remm and why does she have demon eyes? why did we suddenly join the guide dude in the purgatory? like weren't we supposed to escape it or something? aaa please don't take this as hate, the game is great and the art is beautiful, it's just that i don't really get the story. could someone please explain it in the replies?

i'm sorry if my grammar is weird was hard to understand, i'm not that fluent in english ^^;

Hello. Can I translate your game into Vietnames?

AAA SO GOOD

I loved the 1.0 of the game already, and the 1.1 v just made it even better! I loved the Guide route addition, and the epilogue was so satisfying to play through. I'd love to see more of the PiP universe, but even if this is the end of the line for these characters (heh, get it, because... because Purgatory...), it was a lovely ride.

Shout out to the artists, sound design, voice actors, etc., too, all MVPs. :D

What a lovely game! Excellent writing (correct spelling, grammar etc always makes me happy!), nicely done art and music. I loved the characters! Story was quirky as well as very touching, gameplay was fun and riddles were easy (not a complaint-- it fits the game well). Romance felt a bit rushed, and really wasn't necessary, but the game was done for an otome jam, so I understand. Looking forward to checking out your other titles! Thanks for your hard work on this wonderful game!

I made a playthrough!! Just part 1 and 2 for now. I love it so far!!

Ill add them here as i do them if its ok?

I need the answer to this riddle 😬

 " Look at your items 

see them from a name 

this is the reason 

this is your shame "

Hi!
I recently finished Pitstop in Purgatory and really enjoyed the experience. The art and the characters pulled me in from the start. I'll be looking out for the coming updates!
If you're up for it, I would love to work on a French translation for the game. Please reach out if you're interested in discussing it further!

pain,,, i'm stuck at the intruder part and i don't know where to go next :')

No... Walk through...?

does anyone know what the answer to the riddle is on the solo route by any chance??  i've been trying to figure it out for a while now </3

I really enjoyed playing thus game!!! It was so good... The art is great, music is fantastic and the characters are so unique and interesting! I actually cried on solo route in the end of it, when talking with Vol, it was so intense and emotional(( omg thank u so much for this game!

I feel dumb, I got stuck in the riddle part like forever :(

What to say? Well, let me start off by saying I really enjoyed this story and I'm kinda like Astrid and don't like riddles since I'm kinda slow to connect dots, nonetheless, I  was able to solve them fairly easily and used my brain for the first time since I was born. 

The storyline and the way you wrote the characters had me engaged the entire time. You truly gave life or death to the characters. The solo route had me in tears, I hadn't even realized I was crying when she got reunited with her bf. I kinda expected us to have a preview of all the couples after they make it in the end. Each route had me itching to know what was going to happen next. 

I do have some questions if you don't mind.

Is there gonna be a route for the guide? If so, I wonder how it's gonna play out considering he might be old or maybe not even a being who can display the affections Astrid would want.

Will you ever show an after-ending? I kinda wonder if the couples stayed together after or if they run into her bf when she's alive because that'd be awkward.

My last question is about the shadows. I noticed in one of your posts that you will be adding more stuff to this. Are we ever going to see how Smiley or Ezrebeth look? Or will that just stay that way as part of the mystery? Anyways, this was a pretty long post but I really enjoyed the story and how fleshed out the characters were.  

Thank you so much for making this wonderful game! I enjoyed the puzzles and riddles immensely, and loved the premise of trying to make peace with your past. 

The art and aesthetic was really unique and lovely, I adored the GUI. Especially loved the level of interactivity, something you don't often get with otome games, and that element of it really made the game stand out to me. 

Great characters, writing and pacing. Especially with the solo route, that ending got me, man.

PS, I would be lying if I said I wasn't desperately hoping for a romance route for the Guide. I love everything about him, and would like to spend the rest of eternity in his contemptous embrace.  

I loved this game! Great characters, concept, and art! <3

I also really loved The Guide, despite my better judgement LOL I think he's my favorite character, even with him being... the way he is to the humans in his care. He's so well written, I just want to know more about him! Though I'm not sure how he would feel about having a route, given his whole... "what is an ant to a man" metaphor.

TLDR great game, i love the guide more than i have any right to

---

I was also wondering [though this might be a spoiler], is there a way to get into the off-limits area that the sign blocks off in the waiting hall? :0

D'awww the solo ending has got me 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I love the game <3
