Just a quick little visual novel. There might be bugs as I had to make a lot of code fixes last minute :(

Girls are mean!

I liked this. You got me to feel sympathy for her. Also the art is really great.

I feel like this game succeeded in making me feel like a jerk, and was quite enjoyable, so good work

I don't want to be a jerk anymore!

Wonderful pacing. This is too good. Why am I an evil fox I don't want to be an evil fox ahhhh *SOB*

Nice work!

UGH. I feel like crap, now! I had options to "do nothing" but I was so curious to see what would happen I just kept on being a jerk. That whole back and forth kinda of thing in my head made me feel really uneasy about all of it. You did a good job getting me to feel true emotions, and that's not too easy with a simple 48 hour game. The art is beautiful as usual!

This was really, really good.

Wow... Jerk simulator. The best villains are always children (ew. young people), they can be cruel. Like the story and art, really cool.

Visual novels really aren't my thing, but there's a nice amount of diversity to what you can do for a quick little game! I think I lack the emotional attachment to appreciate it, though

Only the top right quarter of the window is rendering on 64bit Xubuntu :(

Ha ha ha! I wanted to be nice, but it just felt so good being mean! Full theme points for you! Cheers!

One of my favorites out of a 100 or so. Really cohesive graphics. It was interesting that the player character had a distinct personality.

Pierrec20 Dec 2012, 11:43
You made me feel SOOO bad! You're even meaner than me/her!

Really great! Interesting how it forces you to be a either a villian or a nonchalant bystander, I think I've seen all 3 endings alr.

Wow. I've got to tell you, this really made me look back at some of the girls I know. This is a visual novel, so I can't really give you a good/bad breakdown, because literature is so much more subjective. All I can say is great work.

Wow, that was very well played. At (almost) every point I had the option not to do something terrible, but because the game is what it is of course the sense of exploration demanded that I do.

Eventually I decided to stop being a jerk and back out of every opportunity to be hurtful. Though the ending was completely anticlimactic, it was possibly the best ending to a game I've seen in the competition so far.

the lack of audio made the text much more effective (nice graphics too). overall a fascinating little game. really gives the player a taste of how little a person's feelings mean to a bully.

I could only play two days. I realised that the player character was going to make Anne's life miserable, and I couldn't be responsible for doing so... which is interesting, I think. Well done!

I'm not used to visual novels but I sure like this one. :)
Got four different endings.
SuperDisk29 Dec 2012, 16:13
This is one of the better games. I dunno what "Vixen" or the fox means though but whatever, still a very cool game.

I just taught Anne a valuable lesson.

(Awesome work with this!)

Good job!

Some music would be nice... and don't put "close the game" on the right mouse button, please :D

Very nice entry. One of the nicest I played. After playing I really feel like I'm the villain :/

Great game ! I like now you can not be the villain if you want even if the dialogs (and the induced curiosity to know what happens if...) strongly encourage it.
Joseph Miller31 Dec 2012, 01:10
Excellent art and use of theme. You don't need an Armageddon weapon or minions to be a villain.
bentog1 Jan 2013, 21:26
Bah, I hate being evil :( This game is great, it makes the player feel bad for its own actions.
goerp1 Jan 2013, 21:35
Haven't seen this take on the theme, very good!
I was the villain, but in the end didn't like it at all.
Graphics looked perfect for the game as well.

That was horrible. I'm going to cry in a corner now. Bravo, I guess.

I don't like VN, but I really enjoyed this one. Good job on the story and the graphics. Well done.

Very emotive, excellent presentation and an interesting progression - I even enjoyed the ending. Some plunky piano wouldn't have gone amiss but it was really polished and enjoyable (if that's the word!)
feili2 Jan 2013, 23:31
that changed from destroying the world and killing people with goats!
GeorgeBroussard3 Jan 2013, 10:04
Was interesting. Are there multiple outcomes or anything? I ended up just feeling bad but not bad enough to be friends with her. I kept waiting on escalating bullying until Anne killed herself, or something to really drive the point home. Good stuff.
