Five Stages of Pink

One of greatest samples of combination of Visual Novel and Point'n'Click games. For currently available version (November 2024) it lasts about 6 hours of content. Story is making you sit on edge and characters are well-written. Music build atmosphere nicely. The only downside is it's passion project of indie creator - because of that it suffers from slow development, as game is not source of income. I hope we can get more of this, as this content was so juicy, I could not wait to have another session of play.

Definitely got to rank this as very positive. It's not finished right now, unfortunately, but it's a really interesting setting, and there's loads and loads of mysteries to puzzle out and theorize over. I would 100% recommend it!

this is the best visual novel i have read. i liked the characters and suspense. i cant wait to see how this ends and unravel the mysteries of the city and the characters .

i liked this game.

It's such a pity we haven't had an update of this game since 2022, cuz it has all the potential to grow into a big, compelling story if it expanded on what's already published. I'm not even a fan of the genre, but FSoP has a dark, misterious tone despite its colorful appearance and has a pretty fun way to keep you paying attention to every bit of dialogue. As of now there are still blank spaces that I hope to fill into the diary, if only this game was finished.

Five Stages of Pink is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This LGBTQIA+ friendly e-book is incomplete, intended to be an advertisement to get people to shell out for the rest of the book, so that's rather deceptive pricing... it's also donationware, the developer has his hand out and wants to get paid because he wrote the preface to a high school anime club fan-fiction and wants to be paid for it. The book subject is some drivel about pink being illegal so how can people who like pink express themselves etc etc, you know, that old allegory. Any topic for a book is fine if the writing is better than junior high school anime fanfiction. But people who can write that well tend to write complete boo…
