nice game, bro!
ENGLISH VERSION: This demo is absolutely delightful! The atmosphere and music choices really evoke the charm of classic heist and detective stories like Conan and Lupin. The puzzle-solving mechanics are engaging, and I found myself immersed in the world you’ve created. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in the backgrounds and character interactions—Desirée and Irina’s dynamic was a highlight for me, and the comedic moments with Maximillian and the Detective were a nice touch.
I did notice that some scenes felt a bit empty without music, especially during important character introductions. Perhaps adding a theme for Irina could enhance her presence even more! Still, the moments with music were fantastic, and I’m excited to see how you’ll continue to develop this aspect.
By the way, if you enjoy exploring unique indie games, you might also like my project at https://takecareofshadowmilk.net — I’d love to hear your thoughts! Looking forward to seeing more updates on Forget Me Not!
i dont have money to play ts game but the artstyle and characters are awesome sauce
this MIGHTT just be kaito kid
THAT'S MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO SEEING THE THUMBNAIL
im sorry joker persona 5 you lose this round, now forget me not is my new best friend.
Haven't played it, but the artstyle and characters really remind me of Rhythm Theif, and that game is cool as hell.
Rhythm Thief mention in 2025? aw hell yeah
THAT GAME IS THE SHIT, I love it so much, too bad there was only like... one game. And that's it.
i played the demo, but i really liked how i could find myself immersed in these worlds you created . it also reminds me a little bit of Kaito Kid !! anyway this is peak thank you for making my yuri fantasy real
Thank you so much for the kind comment!
It really reminds me of Kaito Kid..
you don't know how happy your comment makes me lol
omg yeah! i was abt to say this lol (i say as im abt to go watch a detective conan 4 parter)
oh fr!!!
Such an amazing game. Desirée is adorable, Irina is charming, and there's a depth to the world and characters that cannot be understated. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time playing FMN and I can't wait to continue!
Also, lez beans.
This demo is great fun! Some of your music choices and things like the searchlight intro definitely summon up the spirit of Conan / Lupin / Saint Tail / Cat's Eye &c. Having time to spend clicking around and working out a solution fits the premise very well. I think the only thing that threw me was something very minor: the pillar box outside Ramona's (postbox, mailbox) was surprisingly short; those things are normally shoulder-height. But that's hardly a problem, and actually I thought it was kind of cute.
Good luck working on the rest of the game! I'll keep an eye out for it coming out.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the demo!
it looks so cute & it reminds me of the nostalgic 90’s anime romances!!! (With women !!! Yay!!)
Looks cute!
I just finished playing and!! This was very cute and fun!! I especially enjoyed the section in the demo where you need to deduce who (insert spoiler here). Compared to Locked Room on Rails, I will say that the art and general game direction have improved quite a ton!! I can tell how much effort you put into each background piece, and that effort just made the game more engaging. Although there is a setup for multiple characters and their relationships with Desirée, I found my attention the most engaged when she was interacting with Irina. I really like the Detective too, as well as Maximillian (his interactions with the Detective add some fun comedic value since it's satisfying to see him get shut up).
I think my only major criticism I have (it floated in my head a lot while I was playing) was that some scenes felt like they were missing music? It could definitely just be a stylistic choice, but one example that comes to mind is when Desirée first bumps into Irina. Her introduction on stage was very nice with the accompanying music of the ballet, and the glamorous visual of her up close, so I thought Desirée actually meeting her face-to-face would carry that same sort of wonder and enchantment! However, the lack of music just made it feel awkward and not really anything else. The times there were music, I loved it!! I wanted to hear more, especially for such an important character (I assume). I'd love if Irina had a theme that accompanied her to contrast with Forget Me Not's upbeat, jazzy, playful melodies.
Overall, this is an effective (and very endearing) demo!!! I can't wait to see more from you!!
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad you had fun playing the demo.
And yeah there are a handful of moments without music as a stylistic choice, but I do appreciate hearing people's opinions about that.
