Repurpose

[b]My recommended order: Utopia -> Hell -> Limbo -> Faye[/b] I got this game on a big discount and was suprised at how well written and made was this game. There are many intresting charcters with their own personalities and agendas, as well as so many possible choices you can make through out the game. Additionally every route you play and every ending you get gives you more lore on the univerese the game is set in which makes it a higly replayable and enjoyable piece. Another thing I loved about this game was the diversity of the romaceble characters. Having and ace, genderfluide romanceble is something I personally haven't seen much of (especially this well executed) and honestly I live for it. Only things that I'm missing are: maybe some journal or like a glossary were you can check all the things you learn about the world, and some true route or a way to actually trully piece togheter what's going on in the afterlife. So even though I wish there was more I higly recommend this game, especially if you love queer VN.

Bought it at 90% sale, played for 1 hour, was bored out of my mind before even finishing the prologue and abandoned the game for around 9 months. Just picked it back when summer started and oh my god. I am so sorry i didnt come back sooner. [b]The prologue might feel slow[/b], you start getting to know the characters and at that point it's pretty much just a trial and error that allows or prevents you from going down certain routes. The moment you go down a character-specific route [b]everything flows better[/b], it's the prologue that can deter people from continuing the game because of the pacing, which is sad because the moment i got past the prologue i instantly fell in love with the characters, their specific plots and the general storyline. [b]The cast is so diverse, like SO diverse, i was actually surprised by how much representation[/b] and how unapologethic some characters are. [b]Im not talking just about LGBTQIA+ people of different races[/b] (i was already expecting AND loving this), but also their context when alive, their personal reasons for wanting to go to utopia or hell (or neither), and even neurodiverse characters whose disability [i]actually[/i] affects them …

Repurpose takes the familiar structure of a romance-focused visual novel and gives it an imaginative supernatural foundation. Instead of beginning with a new school year, workplace, or ordinary social situation, the protagonist is already dead. Their soul arrives in Limbo, specifically a version of the Garden of Eden, where the next stage of existence remains undecided. From this strange starting point, the player can pursue a path toward Heaven, accept Hell as a destination, or potentially remain in Limbo. Developed and published by Repurpose Studios, the game uses this unusual afterlife setting as the foundation for a lengthy mixture of romance, comedy, personal drama, and existential storytelling. The sheer amount of narrative content is one of its defining qualities. With a script of roughly 400,000 words, this is a substantial visual novel designed for players who genuinely enjoy reading and getting to know a large cast. Conversations have room to develop beyond simple introductions and romantic checkpoints, while the supernatural premise allows the story to explore death, identity, relationships, regret, belonging, and what someone might want from a second existence.

Ignore the time play. I have been playing on this for days! I gotten this on sale and I'm actually kinda glad I did. I LOVE LOVE THIS GAME!!! This reminds me of another visual novel game I played similar to this! "Time loops", paths I didn't come across, choices I didn't see...I recommend this to ppl who love deep lore like this!

I don't have much playtime (yet), but I still wish to get the review out there already while my thoughts are still fresh on my mind after my first playthrough in which I chose Ramón to be the chosen hubby here. Starting the game, I was a bit hesitant to continue, because some of the messaging is instantly right in your face. I'm not talking about representation, but more so some political(?) views (however right they might be), so I was put off by the whole preachy thing we had going right from the get-go. However, I am glad that I just rolled my eyes and soldiered on, because it was very much worth doing so. I had a great time playing Ramón's path and solving the mystery of my own death-- and I quite enjoyed how Hell was portrayed as well as Limbo. I can't say much about Heaven/Utopia since I haven't played any of the routes yet and since it brings me to the next issue; some of the romance options are personally just not appealing to me. Though, that doesn't mean they're bad love interests-- some of them just really didn't click with me, so there I was going for the obvious choice of Ramón, while eyeing Faye and Noel as any potential next romance options to play through. I just …

Noel is the ace representation i needed all my life
