DK is probably the first visual novel I actually enjoyed playing (and am desperately waiting for more) after a longgg while of looking for more games to waste time on. very much needed by poor bored me, and very much satisfied my craving for darkly humorous hot dudes. APPROVED!
I Love DK but the only thing that keeps me from playing it is the web version loading screen it keeps lagging EVERY TIME. I would REALLY appreciate if you could fix that issue </3
Hi! Looking into it, sorry to hear you're having issues. We're currently working on a new version that will reduce the file size a lot, so that should help! Are you playing on computer?
Tenia muchas ganas de probar este juego!! ¡Me lo tecomendaron e incluso esto en español! Pero no pude pasar de la pantalla de inicio 😭, el juego no avanza, al momento de querer registrarme, si presiono cualquier casilla para rellenar mis datos, me patea del juego! Intento descargarlo varias veces, y nada. 😔
Diooooooos, quan he entrat al joc i he vist l'opció de jugar-lo en català he flipat. I després m'he partit el cul quan he vist que no només canviava l'idioma sinó que també hi ha referències a Merlí, Polònia i Puigdemont.
M'està encantant el joc, si us plau seguiu així! Em flipaaaa. L'únic dolent que té és que no sé si decidirme per en Florian o en Caín </3
Gràcies de debò! Ens encanta la versió en català (és de les més divertides de fer) i seguirem treballant perquè tingui la qualitat que ens mereixem tots!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this game so much! The story, the art, and it’s so funny, I’ve never laughed so much at a novel game, I can’t wait for the next chapter, You guys are making such a good game! I hope it gets the recognition it deserves, love from Italy<3<3
More seriously, it's been years since I had so much fun playing a visual novel. Your sense of humor is a gem, the art is beautiful, all the effects are also nice to the eyes... Thank you so much to all the members of the team for your work !
I just have a side remark about the character of Emily. I don't think it was your intention at all (given the meta jokes about Andrew Tate and all), but I found that your portrayal played too much with old misogynistic tropes. She is boy and self-obsessed (when, ironically, WE are the one playing the game to romance handsome men), obsessed about appearances, and made as annoying as possible to the player, to the point she is judged more harshly by the narrative than a bunch of (male) serial killers. It is also reinforced by the fact she is one of the only woman in the game (the other two being our absent mother and a cop).
I really don't wrote all that to get you or something, quite the contrary. This genre of game catered to women is still quite niche in occident, and I absolutely love to see it flourishes on this platform years after years. So, a big thank you again for being such talented contributors.
Hi Good_Soup (Nice name!). About the Emily remark, she's indeed a character that's very much stuck in the past. We've mentioned this before, but for us DK is a game that deliberately explores the complexities of social toxicity. Emily's misogynistic attitude isn't just a character trait; it represents the unfortunate reality that many people still harbor these destructive beliefs. Her presence as the first woman character is intentional - she appears when the MC is trapped in an endless cycle of unhealthy relationships, lacking the confidence to confront these patterns. But (I don't know if you've played the last chapter) as the MC develops self-awareness and courage, more positive relationships naturally begin to emerge, reflecting her internal growth.
When we conceptualized this game, we aimed to critically examine the insidious forms of toxicity that permeate everyday relationships, which directly inspired characters like José and Emily. The narrative arc focuses on breaking destructive cycles and creating healthier spaces for personal development (and yes, there are killers too because it's just too much fun).
Just as pick-me girls exist, pick-me boys exist as well, and we wanted to show all of them. We typically find that games in this genre often feature one stereotype while strangely omitting the other. With Maya, (in the future) we want to portray what a genuinely supportive female friendship looks like, providing a meaningful contrast to the toxic relationships established earlier.
And yes, the killers are portrayed in a positive light from the protagonist's perspective, but that's precisely how the game acknowledges its own surreal nature.
In real life? Scary as fuck. In a videogame? Entertaining.
Thank you so much for playing and your nice comment! PS. Charles sideplot... eventually!
Thank you so much for your thorough answer. I'm glad to hear that the full game reveals a more complex approach. I'll definitely take the time (and gladly spend some money) to play the final chapters!
had problems for the game loading before but it works now and i cant describe how much i LOVE this game. i love games where its very interactive and there's consequences to my choices!! i would love if this game was never ending or like much much moreeee chapters!!
As a CS student, this game is one of the very few games where I'm SERIOUSLY impressed by the UI. Like holy shit, it's so... Smooth. Especially for a visual novel. Just seeing the UI makes me giddy (I sound like a geek)
I told the UI artist and she was really happy with your comment. UI (as well as programming) is something that people tend to take for granted, so we are grateful you noticed!
The game looks really good but i wanted to ask if only the web version is up to date? when i go to downloads it shows that they were last updated 95 days ago.
Hi! We always recommend playing on browser. Its easier and faster. If you still want to download it, the Game is a client that autoupdates at launch! (So yes it's the last version!)
(sorry for the English, I'm using a translator) I'm simply
loving this game, I love the humor, the art is simply beautiful and the whole story of the game, it deserves much more recognition! I just wanted to ask two questions, would there be any possibility of adding the Portuguese (Brazil) language in the future? And about the blood coins, do you intend to make it easier to get them?"
Hi! For the languages we pretty much can only translate to what we know. Right now there are two translations in progress, french and russian, both made by fans. Portuguese is one we would love to have because we know there's a Big visual novels community but at this moment we have no plans for It.
About the gems, yes, there's an update coming sonish that should fix most of the issues!
Hi!! making a game with pronouns gets very hard for us because we are a small team, and translating into spanish makes having pronouns hard as hell in general, aswell as catalan. We've mentioned that in the future if we get enough to actualy make it worth the amount of work it will take (for real it would be a lot) we will do it!
I was so excited to play this! It wouldn't allow me to, which was a tad bit weird. I just got stuck on a screen where it told me it was updating although it was already at 100%! I'm not sure if it has something to do with my device, or just the game!
I had a suggestion regarding the blood count. I feel like waiting for each day just to get 5 blood is a bit cruel. So, If u made a small minigame in the game to earn blood would be nice.
(Please don't make it as difficult as Barrio Bros, I still can't complete that lol)
There's been a small update, adding more blood to the whole option. We cannot give a ton (because we still have to eat at the end of the month) but we tried our best.
help i can't get past the mario bros part because I broke the right arrow key on my keyboard 😭 if possible could you update it to also be accessible with wasd?
I love this game so much, oml, I literally played this through 2 times today, and it had me screeching and fangirling(and a lil embarrassment) like no other game has got me in a long time, I ESPECIALLY love Florian and I cannot wait for the next chapter:3
lol the game refuses to load (I've tried to let it load for 10+ mins, and it's just stuck saying 100% at the loading screen) now that I run it again 🥲 I think it was a bad decision getting so invested when I play on a phone.. (and my battery was draining from this lovely experience about 5 battery / min 😍)
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. The game does get stuck sometimes, reloading usualy helps. About the mobile issue, altough we support an apk it was always mainly designed for desktop users, atleast for now. Sorry again!
i would love to continue playing this game since i just completed the demo. however, the loading screen has taken 30+ minutes in counting. is this normal or have i done something wrong?
just to note, the demo was really intriguing. once this loads, i would love to give this game a proper review. it looks promising!
this happened to me too, i think it's because your device might be really old. i was using a thinkpad that was 15+ yrs old, but now that i'm using a newer device, it loaded really fast.
i literally never comment on games but this is one of the best visual novels ive played HELLOO i mean the minigames within the story ugh i physically cant wait for new chapters 🤒🤒
I love this game!!!! Honestly there is nothing wrong with the game, except....for how AMAZING this game is!!!!!! Its practically illegal for a game to be this Awesome Sauce!!!!!!!!! I love this game soo soo soo soo much, I love pidgeons so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you really love pidgeons then I'd recommend you to play Phigros, its a totally amazing FREE game, lol!!!!! And btw I'm not a bot sent to advertise lol. Hope you creators get more praise for dis spectacular, beautiful, astonishing game!!!
QUE JUEGARDO, en un principio lo jugué porque era la primera vez que veía una visual novel en catalán y sentí muchísima curiosidad, pero en el momento en el que leí que Caín ayudó a Puigdemont a escapar supe que me encontraba en el lugar indicado. Las tres traducciones tienen guiños a la cultura de donde provienen, añadiéndole un encanto que es insuperable.
Se nota que el juego está hecho con muchísimo cariño por los detalles que tiene y la subversión del cliché de los amigos que te ayudan y que son majísimos que se encuentran en todas las visual novels con los personajes de Emily y de José es simplemente magnífico.
I absolutely adore this game. However, there's something I noticed with the blood count. I initially thought that we have to enter the game each day for getting blood but next time when I checked I got blood automatically even after not entering the game. Thus, I thought I don't have to enter the game to get blood. I entered the game after 4 or 5 days and saw that my blood count was at the same number and I am confused now.
i loveedd the humor and the references lol. especially mlb. i love mlb. i love this game. 100% recommended, u won't regret playing it. good job devs! i'll be looking forward to the updates :)
Amigos menuda pasada de juego lo que me he reido no tiene precio. Sufro un poco (un poquito nada mas) cada vez que tengo que elegir cualquier cosa, eso si. Ay es que es muy divertido me ha encantado.

Blood count is bugged, we are building a new version
I would really appreciate that as I want to read the spin offs soon. Thanks for your hard work.
im kinda wondering how do you save in this game? or can you even save? cause i can't find the save button anywhere-
It autosaves after each episode!
i almost got a mental breakdown because the characters kept calling me a "she" but im too invested to stop playing now
lol first time I saw Cain I thought he was wearing a beret hahahah
i loveedd the humor and the references lol. especially mlb. i love mlb. i love this game. 100% recommended, u won't regret playing it.
good job devs! i'll be looking forward to the updates :)
i love your art style! the story is very good, as well.
the only problem is that often times when I try to play in browser is that i’m stuck on an updating screen. I still love this game, though! :0)
