I think the intro can improve the face and also the movement and speech of it, it could also expand the school more, the soundtrack of the game can be more similar to alien isolation I think, and I also liked it and I was very curious about the story game and I hope it gets more interesting and good and that everything is right for you (text part2)
hello habupain everything good with you, I wanted to give you a suggestion about update 1.9, 1.9.1 and 2.0, I noticed some AI Saiko bugs while we try to escape from it, sometimes it gets buggy on the classroom table or at the classroom door, I really liked the game intro (text part1)
Just some advice to anybody who's playing. If she starts saying "hey, senpai." and, "Senpai, why would I ever let you leave?" look down, and once you've seen that, try to look at your shadow while still slowed down. If you get the opportunity, look through the camera in the registry room to see yourself as well while slowed down. Also, to those saying that she teleports behind you... nah. She's just fast as f*ck boiii. But once again, when she's behind you, check the cams and only turn slowly. Do NOT try to leave her behind by trickily shutting a door in her face, or sh*t gets real.
The easiest way to win it is to just not let her get behind you at all. If you quickly turn around and catch her running up to you, she'll either run back and go behind a corner and peek, or just start walking. She'll still run up to you even if you look at her if you made her mad af though.
Finally, finally (I repeat myself a lot) I beat this. Man I had to focus so hard in order to beat this, and guess what I beat it with 90 health left. I went from constantly dying to one attempt almost perfect. This game is amazing, I can't wait for the next update I will be right there running hard again. Keep this up.
I can't wait til this game is fully released. I feel like this game will really be something else once its fully made and put out. I like all the updates so far and OMG now there is lore??! That's crazy! I can't wait to see what's next!!
Oh and question, would it be possible to add a listening mechanic (like for headphone user) so that you can hear where her voice is coming from. Sorry if its already a thing and I just missed it >.<
I have plans to expand the lore and make it more detailed with multiple endings. as for the character i do have some what plans to make another yandere later after saiko is done.. the currently alpha 2.0 changes that i am doing are to the entire level the school layout and graphics are going to change as well as saiko AI will become different and split into 2 unique personality while in game.
I can already see the many possibilities this will give you in terms of lore and gameplay. Two "saikos" would be an interesting spin to the story and I'm sure we'd all love to see what your plans are with this game.
Here's to wishing you all the best with this game: it's got promise and it keeps on delivering on it!
EDIT: Please let the other one be her twin... I don't know why, just sounds awesome...
Hello! I'm Nyaruko. I'm here to provide some insight in terms of the game's title and other things that I think would be worth pointing out. I hope that my advice will be useful in some way!
So, about the title... I assume that the English title is supposed to be ”Psycho/Psychotic Stalker”, which in that case, the title should be Saiko no Sutookaa, because if you want to say Stalker in Japanese in Katakana, you prolong the ”o” and the ”a” to emphasize ”al” and ”er”. Sutoka does not mean anything. The title in Japanese should look like this: ”サイコのストーカー”
Since seeing the title in romaji is a bit strange, I would recommend changing the title to ”サイコのストーカー”, and making the English title ”Psycho/Psychotic Stalker”, so that it both looks and sounds good when you see the name of the game in YouTube video titles and the sort, assuming that the majority of YouTube videos will be using the English title.
About the game's intro, the Japanese dialogue and voice acting itself could definitely use some work. The dialogue from the stalker at the start is very barebones, and should be rewritten by someone that has a better understanding of the language. The dialogue has been written by someone that is lacking experience in Japanese, which is why many of the lines lack depth, and sound rather strange. You are often repeating 「Anata ga」 and 「Watashi」 in your lines, which not only doesn't make the character sound natural at all, but it's lacking the intimidating nature that a stalker should have, using crude words to address somebody else.
The dialogue also drags on for way too long than it should, and it just leaves you rather bored listening to her constantly talking with barely any flow, which leaves you asking ”When will I get to play?”, rather than actually listening to what she's saying.
In terms of the voice actor, it's obvious that the voice lines have been recorded by someone that isn't and/or don't know Japanese. The pronunciation isn't all that good most of the time, and the delivery in some of the lines could be much better.
I understand that you want to make the stalker creepy by making her talk in a soft and caring, yet intimidating voice, but it doesn't work when the stalker is talking this way the entire time and doesn't change pitch, build up or emphasize her lines just to show how much of a psycho she really is, which makes her very boring to listen to.
So to sum everything up... -Change the title, which I heavily recommend -Rewrite the dialogue, get a writer that understands how to properly express a character, since well written dialogue is very important in a horror game -Make the voice acting better
I apologize if I sounded a bit blunt, but I very much hope that my advice helps. I want you to know that I am writing this criticism for good intentions, and I want to see this game improve the more time and effort you put into it.
Good luck on developing this game, and thank you very much for reading!
I'm not the creator, but as an English speaker, I can tell you that "Psycho Stalker" would be a much worse title for the game. Its bland, generic,and doesn't describe the game beyond having a psychotic stalker which a lot of horror games have. Saiko no Sutoka says this for people who get the pronunciation, but also says that the game has a Japanese influence of some sort. Also, you're not going to find anything else called Saiko no Sutoka or anything described as Saiko no Sutoka. Even if a player doesn't have rudimentary Japanese knowledge to know Saiko no Sutoka is romaji for Psycho Stalker, they'll at least note this game has a unique name.
I more or less agree with everything else you said, but they don't really bug me enough to feel the game needs those changes. Personally, I felt like the intro was on the long side.
Thanks for your detailed feedback i highly appreciate what you just said. we would definitely going to improve the intro scene alot more and the voice lines. as for the title name that might not be able to change now as its affixed to the game. but really appreciate all the detailed information you provided and i agree to all of them!
Thank you very much! I'm very sorry if I made any mistakes in my English, I am still studying.
I just wanted to mention that Sutoka is the wrong way to type Stalker in Katakana, and should be written like Sutookaa, but it isn't that big of an issue.
I'm very happy that you read and understood what I said! I was scared that I was too blunt with my criticism, and that I didn't express myself properly.
Thank you very much for reading, and good luck on the game! I'm sure it's going to get far.
I had to replay your updated game. I already made a video on that version, however THIS UPDATE IS GREAT. however some things I don't understand. (the hide and seek game she played) This game is great and expect more videos on this game. keep at it my friend I love it and hate it at the same time haha.
Ok, I told my friend that I beat it on easy he said "easy" I took that as a challenge. Easy took two attempts, umm... normal took 2 hours. I prepped before this gameplay by reading through every dev log to see everything that has been added to the game. Even though I read and knew everything, there were still a few surprises throughout this. I feel like I'm getting pretty good at this now. Hard Mode soon to come.
This game is absolutely amazing (but I'm a nerd so...). I love this AI. I started with Practice mode which surprised me with her jump scares just no damage. So I was playing casually until she took my key. Next my first attempt at (not)Easy Mode she would turn off the lights and when you would turn she would teleport behind you. The finally attempt omg where do I start, at one point I used the teacher's desk to juke her but late game I tried to do it and she jumped over the table and grabbed me. Not to mention the two jumpscares that made my skin bunch up because I was so focused at the time. Videos don't do this game justice, IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS GAME, YOU MUST....

i wish that we can talk and i wish it had choices to it if we wanna love her or notlove like stuff like that buti be so scared xd because when she come behind me i scream so lud that my mom can hear me
I agree with being able to interact with her in some way.
I think the "love" route should at least have certain objectives you'll need to perform (e.g. avoid trying to escape, look for her "confession" letters and notes around the school, help her deal with one of the survivors in the school, etc.), then you get the chance to "seduce her" once these conditions are met.
Could be the harder route because until you achieve those goals she'll try coming after you as though you are trying to escape and you might have to perform trickier tasks than escaping.
I dunno, I'm thinking that maybe it should be the true path - would be an interesting twist on the narrative.
En verdad queria jugar a este juego tiene el estilo de granny y juegos asi y me encanta, pero lo descargue 3 veces y siempre me dice que no se puede ejecutar. Porfa arreglen eso mi pc tiene 3 de ram 32 bits y W10 no se si el juego pide mas y por eso no lo abre la verdad no se . Dejenme los requisitos minimos Grax
maybe that's the point. (Of her 'not deciding' if she should chase your or not.) to me, see and chase seems overused, and this is a unique concept! I'm not saying your 'opinion' is wrong, but then again.. This is just a reply. You can just ignore me or not, however you want.
I checked out hard mode this weekend for the latest version and damn! She worked me pretty good. Took a while to beat it but it was fun the whole time. She got stuck on a desk in my first attempt in this video. I left it in so you could see what happened. This game is amazing, man!
YYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS FINALLY BEAT IT. By the absolute skin of my teeth. Wobbled to the security room with only 10 health left, while she was on my tail. Put the code in with her laughing behind ME. Bro I loved this game
Video Coming Out later Today This one is a MUST WATCH....
Perfect update, but game really should be harder and/or have longer gameplay, and have some kind of jumpscare(s) made by Saiko. GIVE HER JUMPSCARE!
+ pros/ - cons in my opinion:
+ she is smart and can be hard to outplay, which makes game more fun to play +
- she is smarter than me -
+ body parts jumpscares are making me aware and sensitive +
- sorry for my bad English -
+ she is so cute when asking for key <3 +
- I don't like how it begins. I don't mean intro, but after player turns on power, she knows where player is. That's FORCING me to wait in a locker at the very beginning, cuz I don't want to hug her (i'm gay) -
+ I didn't knew anime girls can be scary +
- game not playable, too scary -
+ neverending entertainment, because I can't beat hard mode +
- she MAY NOT lock player in school and kill, because that's ILLEGAL -
+ ^ fuck rules ^ +
The best horror game ever <3 (except Genshin Impact)
I realy like the 1.9 because intresting how she try to not kil you some times hope in the next update maybe she will not kill you ive said maybe... i just hope.
it's really fun. although i quited but i really liked it. hoping to see more updates and contents. what needs to be improved is AI and the difficulty system can be slightly a bit easier on all settings. and for the looks of character i suggest that you spend more time on shaders since this a cel shaded game. the vignette is a bit annoying but soon it'll fade. i think it would be better if you lowered the amount. some places had a really powerful bloom. this could use some work. overall i really enjoyed the game and i would love to see more updates!

Can I date her in the game?
You think this is some anime roleplay?
...it isn't?...
RIGHT XD
Just let em have their fun lol
LOL me too XD
But in all seriousness, this is a horror game so..............................................
(No, sorry)
I think the intro can improve the face and also the movement and speech of it, it could also expand the school more, the soundtrack of the game can be more similar to alien isolation I think, and I also liked it and I was very curious about the story game and I hope it gets more interesting and good and that everything is right for you (text part2)

the update of this game is really good had a lot of fun please check out my play through below x
I played it in its second update, and at that time you can just keep running and as long as you don't look back, you'll be okay.
Now, YOU BETTER LOOK BACK. She can pop up at any moment and with the new jumpscares added in....be ready lol.
Can't wait to see what this becomes even further down the line.
What's the mask of zeronity?
This was a joy to play, I might play more in the future so I can beat it!
Dude just uploaded my Lets play and I love your game. Looking forward seeing more updates from ya.
Its A fantastic game i have won hard and easy:D and i had did practice
Just some advice to anybody who's playing. If she starts saying "hey, senpai." and, "Senpai, why would I ever let you leave?" look down, and once you've seen that, try to look at your shadow while still slowed down. If you get the opportunity, look through the camera in the registry room to see yourself as well while slowed down. Also, to those saying that she teleports behind you... nah.

the japanese sounds ... off
Yeah, I'm guessing because of translation, "let's enjoy!" is supposed to mean, "let's have some fun!" and other stuff like that.
The voice actress is a native speaker?
Thoughts:
Finally, finally (I repeat myself a lot) I beat this. Man I had to focus so hard in order to beat this, and guess what I beat it with 90 health left. I went from constantly dying to one attempt almost perfect. This game is amazing, I can't wait for the next update I will be right there running hard again. Keep this up.
My husband would be mad if I became her senpai... Not that I was tempted, cause she also killed me several times.
How about adding an elevator (maybe with a camera inside) and gym locker room(s). haha
if this game will be in vr im gonna lose i
Juego muy interesante de terror, la waifu loca tiene varias mecanicas interesantes.
That girl is really crazy. :o
Old One.
IM REALLY LOVIN THIS GAME!!!

Anyways keep up the good work!!
@habupain, do you have plans on expanding on the number of characters in the game, the lore as well as the narrative of the game?
I have plans to expand the lore and make it more detailed with multiple endings. as for the character i do have some what plans to make another yandere later after saiko is done.. the currently alpha 2.0 changes that i am doing are to the entire level the school layout and graphics are going to change as well as saiko AI will become different and split into 2 unique personality while in game.

Not so sure about that. The girl chases you on sight, so talking to her doesn’t really make sense
