[HelloMySweetKitty] Hello, my sweet one~ [1]
Pouring radish kimchi juice into someone else's gukbap without permission is punishable by death.It was very interesting because it is a visual novel with a yandere theme, unlike the typical ones.When dealing with yandere, there are usually many gory and grotesque works, butHot Chocolate & Marshmallow was good because it was sweet like its name and was structured so that anyone could enjoy it without feeling uncomfortable.Nickname is 1. PinkuA nickname that adds cuteness to a pink baby2. YutpingA nickname with a pink baby + a feeling like Teenieping

[HelloMySweetKitty] Event participation~ [1]
Even if I try to the end, there is no scene that can beat this scene.The fact that the character appears with a knife stained with something red as soon as they appear... It's not easy to see and it's a very dangerous scene. I'm curious about what kind of situation it is, what kind of story it has, and what kind of character it has that makes it appear like this.If Chanhyuk were to call Yua a nickname, wouldn't it be Candy? Lovely? Sweetie?It's not easy.

I thought it wouldn't be good if Yua's character setting felt too yandere-like, or too cute.So I came up with two nicknames.1. SharpinI created it by combining Sharp + Pin.Sharp means sharp in English. I thought of this word because Yua's setting is like a knife.Also, it is a basic writing tool used when writing or studying.So, it has a sharp personality, but it is basically a person I need. I gave it this dual meaning.Pin is the pin that you commonly think of as a tool, and I thought of it because Yua's appearance stuck in Chanhyuk is similar to the feeling of fixing an object with a pin.So the two combined became Sharpin.2. PinnyI thought the nickname Sharpin was too artificial, so I only gave it the meaning of Pin and named it Pinny to give it a feeling of being a nickname to call a lover.

An innocent protagonist? Innocent... or... innocent? Anyway, I remember Yoo Ah teasing the protagonist, Chan-hyuk. I wonder how the relationship between the goofy Chan-hyuk who tries to act cool until the end and the yandere YooA who has liked Chan-hyuk from the beginning will change... and how the story will progress ㅋㅋ lol Hello, my sweet kitty: “Nickname” Achan - A cute feeling created by combining the last letter of the name with the Japanese word 'chan' (ちゃん) Ruby Chocolate - A pinkish color that goes well with babies, like ruby chocolate, with a sweet and sour taste. Yuyu - A cute feeling when calling out one of the names of a child in succession Here are three nicknames I've come up with!

[HelloMySweetKitty] Impressive scenes and nicknames [1]
It was so funny to see the scene where they bury the main character or chase after them with a knife, and then a diabetes shot appears.I wondered what it would be like since the game's heroine is a yandere, but there were more comedic parts than cruel parts, so I had fun playing it. ^^As for nicknames,-Insulin: It's medicine for diabetics, but I used it because I thought the fact that it can be poison if taken in excess fits well with yandere. I think it would be good to use when telling Yua how important she is in my life or when expressing gratitude for Yua's help. I think it would be nice because the unique aspect of using it as a nickname feels fun.-Cotton Candy: Yua likes cake, so it's good to call her that, but after seeing the story, I think she likes everything sweet. Among sweets, cotton candy seems to be the best to use as a nickname, so I think cotton candy would be good if not cake. The colorful colors, fluffy texture, and the way it melts away in your mouth like a fleeting sweet dream are good features to whisper love.-Gardener: I want to keep burying the main character in the garden, so it would be good to call her a gardener in this way. Saying "You are the gardener of love, every glance and smile of yours is the sunlight and rainwater that blooms flowers of love in my heart" is cheesy and childish, but I think it would be good because it's full of cheesiness.

[HelloMySweetKitty] I liked the male protagonist who was blindly devoted to the female lead! [2]
I liked the male protagonist going to confess to Yua under the influence of alcohol,even though it felt like he saw a scene he shouldn't have, I liked the scene where he became tunnel-visioned, only seeing the female lead because he was blinded by love. Overall, the diverse expressions from the unique art style were particularly impressive throughout the game. And the male protagonist's full voice acting is really rare, so I liked that too. Above all, I'm looking forward to the future development because of the yandere theme!

Hello.These are the things I felt might be typos while playing.They are so trivial, and in the case of the dialogue, you may have consciously written it in a more natural direction to make it easier to pronounce, so please just check it lightly.Try itYou can do whatever you want with meOr something like that..Get upI wanted to walk alongside Yua, matching her pace, but...I wanted to walk alongside Yua, matching her pace, but...If it was a hindrance

① The most impressive screenshot: Wait, isn't this a cake? It's a cake, isn't it?I cleared it by choosing all the correct answers on my first playthrough 😱Just in case, I presented all the wrong answers on the second tryI was surprised that event CGs were prepared one by one.Moreover, they were all parodies of Black and White Chef, Bocchi the Rock, and Yena's selection is my daughter, which was fun ㅋㅋ② Nickname recommendation- My major shareholder... You who own all the shares of my life- My little hedgehog... Even those sharp thorns are cute It's too terrible, but I put something Chanhyuk would say on the list. ㅠㅠ

[HelloMySweetKitty] No comment [1]
When asked how Chanhyuk knew himself, the expression he made when answering 'no comment' showed Yua's character well, so it remains in my memory."Shortcake"Usually, shortcake refers to a sweet and soft cake with strawberries and whipped cream, so I recommend it because it suits Yua's color and is a nickname that can be called in Chanhyuk's cafe situation.

[BugReport] Regarding voice acting, [1]
During Act 5, Chanhyuk's dubbing voice pitch seems to be noticeably lower than in other acts.Regarding Yua's dubbing pitch, since the character's personality is what it is, it's hard to tell whether it's a bug or intentional compared to other acts? It seems lower than in Act 6, but when compared to previous acts, it seems similar... Please check.

[HelloMySweetKitty] Impressive scene [1]
I found it funny and impressive that Chanhyuk was somewhat aware that he had already overcome several near-death experiences.It felt like a game character vaguely knowing that they are a game character, which was refreshing.I thought nicknames with dual meanings, such as "Savior of Destruction," "Sweet Calamity," and "Master of Light and Shadow," would suit him well.

It was fun how choosing the wrong option in the conversation with the heroine leads to a bad ending. The bad ending scene was so fun that I wanted to deliberately choose the wrong answer while playing.In particular, the scene where I blindfold and feed food was a scene I've seen a lot, so I remembered it more. lolI've come up with three nicknames for Chanhyuk to call Yua.1. SunshineYua my sunshine... my only sunshine... (Because Yua is like sunshine to me..)2. SkewerYou are a skewer that has dug into my heart... (But my body might really be pierced..)3. ToastYou are like toast, filling my empty stomach every morning, so am I strawberry jam? (Uh... wait, why are you taking out the knife..?)

[HelloMySweetKitty] Memorable scene [1]
A woman holding a blood-stained knifeLooking at the man and worrying, 'You seem very drunk,' is a contradictory image that can be said to define this game in a nutshell.For reference, all three free advertisements for the latest smartphone on the left seem to be copy-pasted. Even the torn appearance is the same.He pretends to be a macho man, but he's scared and can't drink Americano because it's bitter.The male protagonist, Jung Chan-hyuk (even his name is manly!), just whines to the women around him.But even his comments are cheesy.I would like to recommend the following nicknames for Han Yu-ah that suit Jung Chan-hyuk's personality.1. Yu-ah (you are) My AngelAdded cheesiness to Han Yu-ah's name.If you call her Yu-ah... My Angel, breaking it up like this2. One Yu-ahTried calling Han (1) as one.It also means you are the only Yu-ah,but it also includes the double meaning of want Yu-ah.You have to be this good to avoid getting stabbed.3. Light Yu-ahThere's no big meaning.But I want to say this.The reason I wore sunglasses is for momentum... no, it's to say this."You are too dazzling."The end.

[GameReview] Feedback on humor code [1]
I wanted to give feedback regarding the review event post, so I tried to reply, but I couldn't, so I'm writing a separate post.Of course, it's not a grand content, so I'll write it briefly.First of all, the biggest reason is that I don't really like cheesy humor, so it didn't suit me.In the first place, the B-grade genre is a genre that has likes and dislikes, so it seems difficult to enjoy if the plot and sensibility don't match.Aside from that, in many ways, it felt 'excessive'.I think there are a lot of cheesy lines or parodies and memes used.I want to focus on the general story progression or characters, but it was difficult to immerse myself in it due to the previous parts.Of course, the B-grade genre is about leading the game with absurd situations or funny lines, but I feel like the frequency is high.So, if I were to come up with a solution in my personal opinion1. Make the male lead Jung Chan-hyuk's lines a little more ordinary- There are so many cheesy lines from the male lead that I feel like my humor gauge is going down. Personally, I don't think the male lead is a cheesy or sly character, but a passionate character, so I think it's necessary to reduce these parts.2. Consider other elements besides parodies and memes- Most of the bad endings feel strongly like they are passing by with parodies or meme-like elements. The situation is normal, such as the black and white cook or the kimchi radish soup meme, the Bocchi the Rock drawing style, etc., but I got the feeling that they were trying to make me laugh and move on with parody CGs. As I wrote in the survey feedback, these meme elements can be fun to enjoy if you know them, but for those who don't know them, the fun is halved, and there is a high possibility that they will think, 'What is this?' Parodies and memes are good, but I hope there will be many other elements of humor, such as setting the situation or development to bring out the B-grade sensibility, or the tiki-taka of conversations between characters with a gag-like feel.Of course, I would appreciate it if you only refer to it as it is a subjective opinion.

[HelloMySweetKitty] This game can be explained with this scene. [1]
To match the heroine's mood, he keeps looking at her and continues the precarious romance?The male lead who has difficult choices ahead of himThe story of a pretty crazy psycho Yua and a slightly lacking, silly male lead was fresh and interesting.I was satisfied because the demo was quite long.I wonder if a normal ending is possible in this game, so I'm very curious about how this meeting will end.I enjoyed it very much.Nickname is1. Ssayu: Ms. Yua, whom I love (the male lead's actual intention is psychopath Yua)2. Marshmallow: A perfect match for hot chocolate3. Venus flytrap: Tempting with a sweet scent but fatally dangerous

[HelloMySweetKitty] Impressive scene and nickname [1]
There were a few memorable points in the impressive sceneAmong them, it was fun because it was a parody of that person who was very hot this year as soon as I saw it, while also matching the work.The next thing I remember is this sceneAs for my impressions of the game, Chan-hyeok, the main character, felt unique because he was a main character of a style that doesn't come out well these days.A nickname for Yua is...The character of Chanhyuk that I understood is a character with somewhat cheesy and greasy aspects, so'Kitty' on the tab, or 'Baby' because her name is Yuai, or 'Honey', 'Darling', 'My Love' come to mind.

[HelloMySweetKitty] Personal game impressions and best scenes! [1]
It was such an unexpected scene that I found it really fun ㅋㅋㅋ Yua doesn't like mixing things...Rather than a visual novel that flows gently with romance, I think it was fun and light to play because it mixed comedy + serious story like this!I was a little embarrassed by the very first development, but from Yua's conversation, I played while anticipating what kind of content would come out!Chanhyuk's nickname for Yua 3333- Sweet temptation idol- Utopia (meaning a good woman that doesn't exist anywhere!)- Yua Nyan
