the art and story are absolutely beautiful!! the characters relationships are so complex, and I loved finding out more about their story as the game progressed :3
I love this game and I wanted for all of them to have their happy ending but I cried because of all the beautiful artwork and story that was told in this game good job
Yeah Siyokoy!! (The credits, help ahaha!) I love this, a whole bunch! Wasn't sure what I was expecting so I let myself in for the ride, and I fell in love right from the aesthetics of the UI, it's immensely beautiful. The background and character art are so breathtaking as well, it's very comfortable, I love the whole vibe. The music, sound effects and voice acting are so neat too (the louder music piece, might be the final piece but it didn't really bother me, I treated the voice overs as night-time whispers haha, and I love Salvi's bard art in the music gallery)! I knew I had to go through all the choices to grab the voice overs, narrative bits, and the CGs (they were so immersive).
What I really appreciated most was the storytelling. I enjoyed putting the bits and pieces together, be it on the relationships or the circumstances they are in. The characters' personalities are really pleasant and unique too, and how raw and vulnerable the emotions are conveyed in how all these elements piece together. The extra was an unexpected touch that really adds to everything. I love this. Thank you to you and the team for creating this wonderful piece of work. I really look forward to the spinoff and other works you have in the future! Thank you so much!
the self-sacrificing bastards....... sobs they're all so. insane about each other. story is a 10/10 and the art is also so gorgeous. eviscerated me !!!
I'm hoping to write one in the future with one of my friends! Unfortunately it'll be a rather large undertaking as a sequel would veer very fast into action which I'm not good at.
Wow. I played all of it in one go, and WOW. I am absolutely speechless, I loved every second of it, I went for both endings and I need a moment to just compose myself now. To go and breathe.
You made such a rich story within so little time, I'm in awe, and I hope with all my heart we get to see where the road takes the trio next. This was amazing, thank you for the experience.
Such a gorgeous game! Beautiful art, voice acting, bgm, and writing- the UI was also clean and easy to navigate. Like many others have said, it felt like I got dropped into an amazing and fleshed out world that I just want to know more about! I see there's a new demo in the universe, looking forward to playing it!!
great VAs, pretty art style. and the writing and dialogue!!! mwah ang galing how in just a short time, na-establish and maa-attach ka agad sa histories nila
I found this game randomly on vndb, and thought "this is a western vn, let me guess - the tags will be: no sexual content, dark-skinned protagonist and non-binary protagonist" π€£ and I was right on all 3 of them, what a bingo. But ok, when I was a teenager, 14yo girls were writing same things, so it's fine I guess - except we had emo and goths instead of non-binary, but it's basically the same thing, just different color pins on backpacks.
Thanks? Just for reference, though: I'm Asian, as in a Southeast Asian currently living in Southeast Asia. A lot of this game is based on the culture of my country, and I would prefer it if it wasn't labelled as western just because the language spoken is English.
I really enjoyed this! The world building was incredible. I almost wish we could have seen all of the events that are mentioned in this, but I did like exploring the aftermath of all that happened.
IM CLUTCHING AT MY CHEST POUNDING AT THE GROUND RIGHT NEOW. this game is so good im actually in tears I CANNN'TTT. the voice lines.... the characters... A GOOD POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIP THAT SEEMS REALISTIC ENOUGH???!?!?? EXPLODES
I really loved this game! Everything is just *chef kiss*. I love me some handsome characters in angst and suffering while taking care of them. Thank you
This VN is the needle in the haystack, I'm not kidding. What Remains was so good I'm kind of stumped on how to articulate my praises. For anybody that just stumbled upon this, or has been planning to play it; drop everything. Play it now. It's only about 45 minutes of your time. What Remains is something immensely precious and utterly sincere. It presents its world and the bigger story looming over the characters carefully and subtly. The cast is written so earnestly, their conversations and feelings are so genuine and private that it made me feel like I was intruding on them! Siyokoy, your passion and sincerity are abundant in every single word. You've poured so much love into this story, and you've created something really, really special. It's been a while since a story resonated with me in the way What Remains has. I'll definitely be supporting your other works and I'm incredibly excited to dig into the spinoff!
This IF really is something miraculous. TLDR: it is a rare and beautiful IF that I thoroughly recommend.
The longer review- this IF isn't very long (about 45 min-1 hr) but these characters, their world, and the story will stay with you long after you leave the game. The main characters, Salvi and MC, are both compelling, bitter, frustrated, and soft in different ways. Despite having opposing personalities, they clearly have deep affection for each other and their third companion, Dante (who is featured in memories but never makes an appearance with the characters, yet still remains a deeply impactful presence).
As a reader, it feels like you've been dropped into a rich and beautiful storyline of three characters who are intrinsically, irrevocably linked in a way that we do not fully understand but are able to appreciate. I did sometimes wish I knew a bit more about their story, but it never took away from their tale, and the ending is heartwarming and so lovely. (That said, ,I would pay good money for a full story of these three together).
I really do hope you create a sequel to this IF (or just continue to create IFs in general). You are so incredibly talented. The art, the voice acting and the music are all incredible but what really shines through is the story, and the way you can connect with readers. Thank you for this beautiful IF! I can't wait to see what else you will create. :)
This was incredible. From the moment it began until the final line I was absolutely enthralled. I love these characters and this world, it feels so complete and so heartwarming. The three of them deserve all the happy things.
I've always had an open mind about poly relationships, but I've never considered them with such depth before. What an incredible way to be introduced to the wealth of emotion and complicated dynamics involved. This game has given me a lot to think about.
What a ride. I cannot recommend playing this game enough.
Gorgeous game. The story, the art, the characters, the BGM. I'm not good at putting my thoughts/emotions into words, but that was an amazing experience. 10/10
this is a really really lovely game, the artwork is stunning all of the CGs are beautifully done, the characters are so compelling and the dynamic between the MC and Salvi is just electric and it was really special to play through! excellent job and thank you for making this!
I stumbled upon this game, and I must say it's exquisitely crafted. The art style, designs, UI, and animations have been thoughtfully chosen to enhance the storyline and create a cohesive experience. I genuinely appreciate the attention to detail.
The relationships between the characters are very lovely, though they would need some improvements on communication, haha. After all, communication is very important in a relationship.
The after ending does make one curious of what will happen next with the open ending. I'm looking forward to the next story!
I just now finished and my god, I love the story so much. It's so beautifully written and the art is so, so gorgeous. The ambiance of the music too, it all just helped set the mood of the story so much. I had a fantastic time playing <3
I wept as I played this game. The beauty of the art was so outstanding, and I could look and pull it apart for hours. The story what so intricately woven that it was just, so so SO beautiful. This game is outstanding, that it honestly feels a sham to call it just a game, because truly it is an Experience. The sound mixing was perfect, with its dreamy twinkling sounds and soft strings told such a beautiful story of push and pull, of yearning. Even just the UI's are something so outstandingly beautiful. It is so earthly, yet so dreamy. The voice actors were outstandingly chosen, they breathed in a life to the characters that was amazing. You should be proud of what you created, the beauty of such an art piece is outstanding. I cannot wait to see what other projects you breathe such sweet love and life into, as this one was such an outstanding experience.
the moment i read manananggal, i instantly had to go comment on this MASTERPIECE. the art and the storyline are just wow, creative talents putting in the work.
its so beautiful how you were able to convey all the nuances and complicated emotions behind polyamorous relationships while also being able to bring out the individual characteristics of divina, salvi and dante and make them feel so real.
the gui is also so unique and beautiful that i cant help but admire all the intricacies of your designs! idk if its only because ive had one playthrough so far but you got me SO invested in all the lore and the worldbuilding ??? ABSOLUTE GOLD everything is so well-planned and thought out like YOURE SO METICULOUS IN EVERYTHING AND THAT SHOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED because that means you put your literal heart and soul into making this vn as immersive as possible for the ultimate user experience and tysm ily and respect you so much for this.
you've def earned yourself a follower and cant wait to see what you come up with next! biggest kudos to you, kuya!
Hello!! I put off replying to this because I wasn't sure how to reply, but then I ended up forgetting to reply altogether so I'm sorry about that! π
But really, thank you so so much!!! I'm super glad that you liked it this much π₯Ήπ«Άπ«Ά (Also ahihi thank you for the free gender euphoria with that "kuya" π)
I think this is the best visual novel I ever played ! I love it so much I can't even find words to describe it. I clicked on it for the art, and the art is absolutely gorgeous, but the story, the beautiful writing, the music, the voice acting, have nothing to envy to the art, and I really really love the art ! How did a game I played for less than an hour made me cry, feel happy, angry, sad, inspired, and above all warm ?
I also almost missed the post credit scene and I'm glad I didn't Y-Y
I saved so many different files, not because I wasn't sure of my choice of option, but so I could go back to every scene and art easily, as I would go back to pages of a book seeking for the emotions it made me feel. Thank you for making this game
And this is why we communicate our polyamory desires earlier, so we don't end up hurting both of the people we love while they figure their shit out three months later after one of them almost dies.
Repeat after me: communication is key!
Jokes aside, this was a very enjoyable game, I especially liked the art and music!

Thank you so much!
I CRIED MY EYES OUTTTT
Wipes your tears
The art was beautiful. At times I did wish the story in the background would be a bit clearer, but it was a nice experience!
Can I... I mean we... get a part 2? Sometime, anytime, really? This was so awesome. I love all three characters so much.
I'm hoping to write one in the future with one of my friends! Unfortunately it'll be a rather large undertaking as a sequel would veer very fast into action which I'm not good at.
i see "sopping wet man," i download immediately
Based.
This game LOOKS gorgeous, Haven't played it properly yet and I'll probably edit this once I finish it
Just needed you to know your are is gorgeous
Edit: All of these people are idiots and I care for them so much, I did want to get more though, I wanna go an adventure with these dumpass goobers
Wow. I played all of it in one go, and WOW. I am absolutely speechless, I loved every second of it, I went for both endings and I need a moment to just compose myself now. To go and breathe.
You made such a rich story within so little time, I'm in awe, and I hope with all my heart we get to see where the road takes the trio next. This was amazing, thank you for the experience.

This game feels like a chapter out of a much larger story 10/10

This game was so amazing and so beautiful. It pulled on my heartstrings so damn hard + it made me cry <3
THE STORY TELLING WAS JUST SO AAAAAAAMAZING
Shocked pikachu face. That's all I can say.
this sounds like a cool game but for some reason the text is black on a black background.
Hello! That's probably an issue with the assets not loading in for the web build! You can try either reloading the page or downloading the game.
ok thank you
