Nice to see another entry in this series! For the most part, my feedback is the same as before, in that it's a pretty slick and cute visual novel, but I'll admit that the story is a bit too young adult/anime for me, there aren't enough interesting branching decisions or failures for minigames, and I'm still unsure on what effect the character stats will have. Basically it's nice, but I wish it had a bit more to it in some respects.

In terms of brand-new feedback:

*I had no idea that you could click on objects in the background while reading text and it would unlock these secret, what were they called, plot tokens or whatever? Wild stuff: not sure if they are important at all, but yeah, caught me off guard since I clicked on the radio completely by accident.

*I liked that this was going for a lot of emotional moments, but I felt like they really didn't work because of the game's overall goofy and light-hearted nature. For example, when you have to kill the teacher and it's supposed to be all emotional, it ruins the moment when a comical 'WHACK' appears and suddenly the teacher's head is exploding with a geyser of blood. Some crazy dissonance between the comic-book visuals and the emotional music playing.

*In a similar fashion to the above, I was a bit disappointed with how the student council president was handled. I felt like there was a lot of potential with what could've come of his character: for example, with the prez possibly losing his mind and unreasonably swearing revenge on us for killing Red and becoming a new villain that hounds our steps. This could've been his Joker moment: one bad day changes everything! Instead he just immediately becomes a zombie and now we're able to delete him for the story, killing him without any sort of moral dilemma, in a comical fist fight to top it all off.

Anyway, looking forward to the next chapter!

Simplemente divertido, Max y el primer zombie son mis personajes favoritos lol.🗣️‼️🔥

Sweet dude! These remakes kick ass! I'm having a lot of fun playing them! Also like the little nod to Chaos Girl on the documents! Keep it coming man! Can't Wait for Episode 4!

Thanks!!! There's more ties to it coming in the After Story ;)

Okay, that's a preety decent episode! Finding out just a little more about teh zombeh project, not as many minimgames, and most of them were odd and confusing. Dragging things around to avoid and catch stuff was unexpected and took me many tries, the second minigame on normal difficulity forces you to hit a ver difficult timing, and for the boss, there's a small litlle mechanic where pressing X, or any pause button, resets the minigame - I think this is in all of em, but here it messes up everything and misclicks cause a beeg penalty, ya should change that somehow.

Also, seems miss CrabApples won't be making it even in zombeh form. Ah well, hell.

JackAstral responds:

Thanks! Really good feedback- I'll look into fixing those things. (Maybe I should change the pause key to the escape key?)

damn, no wonder this episode's your fav, the story took a turn for the epic!
