Would be nice to have someone make a video of all the alternate endings because I sure won't spend three hours skipping through text. I remember trying and getting the same ending on multiple tries.
Reviews for "Re:Maid UPDATED"
Good game. I like the art style of the game but it's so short and the story isn't really that great, but quite better than other games in here. there is no lesbian path as seen in the thumbnail.
I played the game a couple of times and was able to locate a bug in it that I think you should be aware of. It occurred while on the mountain top during the lunch scene when Hana asks if I'll be fine with just beer and the chocolate bar. Hana for whatever reason is upside down. I have been able to duplicate this multiple times even after refreshing the browser. My choices were as such:
Say you fine>>
Blame her for sneaking in>>
Pretend you didn't see her>>
Wait>>
Wait for her to return to her room>>
Excuse Yourself>>
Go Home>>
Don't embarrass yourself >>
Refuse>>
Don’t>>
Change the topic>>
Let her go>>
Say yes>>
Agree>>
Accept it>>
Go sit by yourself>>
Let her be>>
Go sit with Kenji>>
Sit for yourself a little longer>>
A bar of chocolate and beer>>
Nah...>>
When the player is faced with the next set of choices (Tell her not to worry || hesitate || ask her for food) Hana appears on screen upside down.
Other than that I loved the game, not many people try to make games like these anymore and that's a shame. If I could add anything to the game, it would be a to add a way to tell the player if the choices their making are good ones with a visual point system. Some of the responses for the characters don't always tell the player whether or not they made the choice they were looking for. Please keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more content from you in the future.
For some odd reason, this game sort of reminded of Katawa Shoujo... But then again, what VN doesn't use a flowchart? After 01:35:04 and 61%dialogue achieved, I find this game to be very well structured, in terms of the first days of being in a college or university. It had a realistic vibe for what a new student may do in a new school, a new life, and a new home (not talking about Nishi, more or less) Anyways, I really enjoyed this game as a whole especially when we learned more about Hana during her route. I hated her at first in the very first release of "My Housemate is a Maid (RIP)," but there was more to her even though Erika and Hana had a fight downtown (commentators also opened up a pov that I haven't thought of). Honestly, I enjoyed the commentary mode that was provided, it provided more backbone to the game and delved into stepping into Japanese culture, learned more about how the game was developed, their back-handed comments to each other, and their commentary on the after-choices (was funny to me on some choices). I can't really critique the BG music since it isn't my forte, however the song, Colour my FATE, reminds me of Wiosna from Katawa Shoujo. As a non-patreon user, I can safely say that this is definitely a short Adult VN people should try if they wanted to explore this sort of genre before buying VN's (18+). Thanks again for reading this review, and I definitely hope that new quest game will be good. I know for sure that it will kick ass and I would like to thank the backers for supporting you guys.
CONS
-- For those who are trying to get 100% don't, it's impossible if you are not a backer
-- Kenji is like the Number 1 asshole to break the Bro Code
-- Some bugs and typos, etc.
-- No variations in the gallery and no zoom in gallery (My Housemate is a Maid had it :p).
-- Need more saves! I keep on overwriting all of the saves just trying to uncover the two endings I can't get
-- Some choices only affect dialogue and nothing more. (One of the biggest issues I have would be being in a relationship with Hana, even though Nishi has pics of Erika and doesn't lead to the Heart Break ending or at least finds out (he deletes them blah blah blah) and her panties (Nishi disposes it blah blah blah)...)
-- I kind of wanted the character (white ribbons, long, black-hair maid) on the laptop as a route :/
------ For NG users, here's a list of the possible routes that I have uncovered (only achieved 5 out of 8)
NOTES:
----- No, there is no Aina ending. She's a character filler for Hana's route if you confronted her. In the near future, we might get another route if marblesyrup gets enough supporters on Patreon
----- Who is the other maid (blue,short hair)? I saw a picture of her at some point either on the patreon page or somewhere else. Only guess would be used when we go to the cafe where Erika works, but didn't have enough time to add her character sprite in.

Major spoilers for those trying to get all 7 of 8 endings:
Hints to get these endings
* This is the gist of how to get the endings, there maybe other choices that you may pick, which is good
Hana Ending - Do not go to the love hotel!
Apparently Hana's ending is the easiest to get even if you don't hang out with her at all. As long as you don't confront her (or make bad impressions on her to think poorly of you) and answer the two questions appropriately (Love/Friends/Nature/Cat pictures + Superhuman powers/A big-ass house/The power to travel in time/Nothing[possible?]), you will get her ending.
Erika Ending: Dandere-chan (there's technically 2 routes)
Apologize --->Walk up to her and say hi--->Either wait or check her out or run into her--->Go to town --->Apologize and leave--->Tell her she's cute--->Study together or drink(no rape and pics)--->Tell her you got tired of sitting alone everyday/Tell her you enjoyed studying together--->Visit Erika--->Ask her what she means
Mountains: Invite her to go hiking.
This option is rather clever on how it can approached. You can either have Hana with you or be with Erika only (ditch her for Erika and tell her you walked Erika home) .
--- Honestly, when I went with just Erika, I seriously thought Kenji took Erika away from me... Damn you!
--- My only complaint with this ending would be how Hana still becomes friends with Nishi and Erika even though you ditched her for Erika...
Downtown: Don't invite her to anything.
Heart Broken Ending: Discover Erika is a maid, make fun of her, and pics
This is the most-sensitive route that I have unlocked so far. Basically, if you don't have enough points to where Erika likes her, you can't visit her (2nd time) and take her hiking or take her downtown (haven't tried Hanami yet). Follow most of the choices above (ofc you can't walk w/ her and tell her she's cute after the "incident")
Rape Ending: Discover Erika is a maid and make fun of her...
Follow the Erika ending and push it to the limits...
Forever Alone Ending: Just be really BAD on the choices
Yuri Ending: It's the premium content during the Hanami thing.
Kenji Ending: Be gay...
I cannot figure this one out for the love of God! I've tried confronting Hana and asking her questions, but it leads to either the Forever Alone or Hana Ending... I've even tried to avoid both female characters throughout the game and there is no hint of going Kenji's route, except when the commentators talk about it (talked about it 2x). Personally, I think it's impossible to get right now.
Theory but could be wrong...
Bomb Ending:
Commentators hinted it in the very beginning and it has to be on for it to happen... I could never "trigger" any more choices that relate to bombs. I've only seen two choices for this to show up (Hana (explosion) & Erika (Bomb!)). If we chose the explosion in Hana's conversation then the option to shout Bomb! disappears in Erika's route... I think we get this ending if we have commentary mode on (+1), tell Hana about the "An explosion of new impressions" (+1) and shout "Bomb!" to Erika (+1) [won't happen if we do Hana's at all]. There were no other options that could pertain to bombs from the countless playthroughs I went through...
-----My only guess would be either I'm doing it wrong or it's in the coding (hoping it's the former)
-----Or there is no bomb ending *BOOM*
I liked the game very much, i played the first beta version before it was removed and i loved it but the Aina scene is only for the patreons... am i right?
