OMG I reallly had an amazing time playing your game, as a long time PLLI! Everything from the atmosphere and environment to the artwork and sound design was put together with so much care. As someone who's easily scared, I really appreciated that the game relies more on its atmosphere, sound effects, animations, and environmental storytelling rather than frequent graphic horror. It made the experience much more enjoyable for me while still keeping the tension throughout the game. It's especially impressive knowing that this was created by a small, non-profit development team. The amount of polish and passion that went into the game really shows. I also loved how each character has such a distinct personality, expressed naturally through their dialogue and interactions and even for non-fan, it's easy to pick up their personalities. The multiple routes and endings kept me invested from beginning to end, and uncovering every possibility was incredibly satisfying. I managed to achieve 100% completion and unlock every Steam achievement, but I still want to start over and experience everything again because it was just that enjoyable. 😊 Thank you so much for creating this wonderful g…

For a fan project Night Patrol Rules has no right being THIS GOOD????? The art is super pretty, the plot and suspense are both fantastic. My only complaint is that during some of the point and click investigation sections some of the things you have to click on to proceed are SUPER tiny so I spent a good few minutes stumbling around wondering how to proceed. Could just be me being blind af tho;; Can't wait for the next update!!!!!!!!

This was honestly so fun to play! The art was amazing and I had fun trying to find all the secrets. Not to mention, it was super fun seeing all the little inside jokes about PLAVE. To be able to make a game for fellow PLLIs about PLAVE and turning it into such a fun experience is something worthy of praise! I can't wait for updates to this game to continue the story! Though there were some translation errors and some formatting issues as well in the english version, I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Thank you for making this game, please make more, I will play all of them!

As a fellow Plli, I was so happy to accidentally find this on Steam because I haven't been able to be as active in my social media accounts. And I am not regretting playing it! The art is amazing from each character illustrations (with their different expressions/actions) and the background. The sound design for this is also so good especially in the intense moments. I find the story very interesting and I can't wait to play more of it if a chapter 2 does happen! The only issues I can probably find from this game if I nitpick is the formatting of the dialogue text when using English BUT the translation itself is very good! The first time I added the game to my library, there wasn't an English version yet so I'm very happy the developer/s decided to add it! Anyway, would recommend to Plave enjoyers and visual novel games enjoyers!

Night Patrol Rules is a free-to-play supernatural visual novel developed and published by Te.Sa that successfully combines mystery, suspense, and character-driven storytelling into an engaging narrative experience. Although it draws inspiration from the virtual idol group PLAVE, the game stands firmly on its own with an original plot that requires no prior knowledge of the source material. Instead of relying on fan appeal alone, it creates a chilling school mystery filled with unexplained events, urban legends, and supernatural encounters that gradually unfold as players explore its carefully crafted world. The result is a surprisingly polished adventure that emphasizes atmosphere and storytelling over flashy mechanics. The story centers on an abandoned arts building where students are warned never to remain after seven o'clock in the evening. According to local rumors, restoring electricity to the building awakens a mysterious figure known as the Never-Seen Patroller, a silent entity connected to the disappearances of anyone unfortunate enough to cross its path. This unsettling premise immediately establishes an eerie tone that remains consistent throughout the adventure. Rather …
