Somehow I managed to get bad endings even with the guide...

I started playing around 11pm and when I looked at the time It was 6am... Glad I didn't have classes today lol

Anyways thank you so much for the amazing game <3 Currently planning the wedding with Zu <3

Also I hope for the safe return of your cat

PEOPLE YOU SHOULD SLEEP BEFORE PLAYING GAMES . thank you :D if you still have troubles with getting good endings, please leave a comment or write me a private message, whatever suits you, I'll try my best to help you happy another wedding with Zu!!! yayyyy!!!!!!!! (thank you. I hope for that too)

[softmagenta]

what do you mean marry!!!! [cry]

francoise and I have many adopted children and you're making her leave me nooooo

okay she's married to everyone who wants to be with her- D: I wish you a happy family life- yay ... :DDDDD what are the names of your children? :D

What would Francoise be like as a partner?

honestly, I first read "parent", not partner, and I got very scared...

well, for starters you need to do something to help her get used to normal human interactions in general. she was created officially and under a lot of supervision, so she doesn't have any minor glitches in her program (unlike Zu), so it should be pretty easy for her to learn how to interact naturally with people.

once you get past the first step (I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THAT OMG), expect to see a silent caring partner. she will be quiet, with her trademark half smile, half closed eyes, menacing figure just like before. as a partner… she'll be quite tactile, I think. she won't constantly surround you from head to toe completely, like Zu with MC, but she'll most likely always be there, somewhere behind. half hugging you, burrowing into your neck, that sort of thing (while looking at the others like a damn creepy cutie meowmeow monster), a silent and protective presence, like a guardian in the shadows. she'll be attentive to everything going on in your relationship, she'll always listen to you to learn new things and draw her own conclusions. you will soon learn of her inner mocking and mischievous nature, she will make fun of you with her calm comments. but she doesn't want it to offend you, of course, so make sure to discuss that thing with her I'm sorry, you have no choice, she'll be "in charge" of your relationship…

Hii I played the game and oh my goodness I loved it! The Art the endings all so fabulous!

Zu is so baby and I'm living for it!!

thank youuuuu <3 I'm glad you liked it awww welcome to our small and cozy community! we have funny pictures here, that's it

what if mc died what will zu do?

bro… he's gonna break. :-( it's gonna be really, really unpleasant. like. awful. you have to consider all the factors: how mc died, from what, when, etc, but either way zu will just be mentally broken (if you're a proponent of androids in magenta having a soul and mentality at all). for example, in a bad club ending in the game, "system instability", zu doesn't know what he's doing at all because he has a huge glitch in his program, and when mc dies at his hands, he's just broken with no way to recover.

and like... will he have a point in moving on? of course he should have - you have to live for life itself, not for one person. but- can you imagine zu living with that moto? it's hard for him to keep living on when his whole life was centered on one single and now-dead person that he understood and loved. he'll have a huge breakdown, and what he does next is unlikely to be anything sweet and kind please let's keep MC and Zu alive...!

Could you give us more information about the au where zu is human please?

it's a pretty funny idea where I don't have strict rules of the au … I tried to imagine a swap-au where zu is a human and the main character is an android, but for some reason I'm not very interested in that. so I'm focusing more on au where everyone is human. zu is an office worker in a rather serious company, has a steady job. but since childhood he is rather silent and more of an observing person, he looks as if he doesn't care about anything. also, I'm pretty sure you can say he has some signs of autism spectrum disorders...? I want to go deeper in this topic one day, gonna make some researches he has problems with understanding people, with defining the meaning of his life, the meaning of his work and everything in general - he just does what he needs to do. kindergarten - school - university - work, that's it, his goal is fulfilled, now he just goes to work and earns money without spending it anywhere. his apartment is very clean and half-empty. but aside the "what's the meaning in all of that" thing, he really likes to read various articles on any topic, from random fun facts to science, he likes to learn new things. in fact, in his head there are a lot of thoughts, a lot of questions, but his outer shell remains silent and passive. he has been friends with the MC for many years, and he considers their acquaintance as his second birth, because it is the MC who begins to bring some meaning to what surrounds Zu. (he's so excited about sending MC the new articles/info he found, just sends everything that he considers interesting. spams with everything he finds). slowly, he starts to feel that his life is much more bright, he finds new hobbies, new interests

in the au, where the MC is an android, Zu didn't create them. they would either be an official android or an illegal android, but not created by Zu

and in an au like that, Zu would have a full name, of course in general, it's just a bunch of random thoughts, not a detailed au

Hii, I just finished your game, AND I LOOOVED IT 💕💕💕💕 I loved zu, I loved cava, I loved everyone, and I just wanted to know two things completely unrelated to each other

1. What application do you use to draw, and what brushes you use?

2. Do you have any voice claims for Zu or any other character?

thank you!!! I'm glad you liked them :3 1. I use photoshop cs6. for drawing images for magenta, i used standart brush, but in a pencil mode (in the red square), it makes any brush you use draw in pixels

for any other art I use literally any brush that I feel like using at that moment of making the drawing ^^ it's different every time 2. .........yes.......... but i'm a bit awkward about that.??? I think Zu sounds like Justin Warfield, more like his singing voice I do imagine how others sound like, but I didn't do my searches on finding people that sound like I need

[softmagenta]

Hiii!!! I have a question, when is Zuzu's birthday? It's for something important :3 (animal crossing)

i have no idea ... oh no ... D: must be something winter-ish, january or february let's set february, 4 (I won't be surprised if i said the other date somewhere 5000 years ago in a random post, I don't remember :D)

[softmagenta]

Francoise is so.... 🤤🤤🤤🤤JUST ONE CHANCE PLELALLSEPLEASE!!!!

[softmagenta]

Helloooo!! I hope you are well I LOVE YOUR GAME <33333 I love everything about it and even more how the relationship between Zu and the player developed, but I was curious. You mentioned that there were 3 yandere and Sybil is one of them, but what about the other 2? because I didn't find anything that gave me a clue about the others when I played it.

hello and thank you !! ... i know i was making it subtle but ... :_)

zu, mc and sybil

[softmagenta]

Help I love your meme pictures

[softmagenta]

i don't even have a tag for this bunch of weirdos... lol art of Lavr because I don't have anything to draw after finishing Magenta so yes I guess it is something about my vns even if this one doesn't exist, so i can post it here

[softmagenta]

The game is very good! I always fall in love with your art every time, and honestly, the lore of the game is quite fascinating to me, and I always feel curious to learn more about what's going on in the background (I've completed the game, replayed it a few times, and have gotten about like 3-4 endings, or something like that, I have the memory of a goldfish. Love how in some of the endings there's a little extra story at the end too! It always makes me so invested, man 😞).

Suddenly remembered that I wrote this paragraph to ask you a question, te-he. I recall that you mentioned there are suppose 3 yanderes in the game, and I was a bit surprised to realize that Sybil is one of them (I always chose the "be nice" options with her because I really like her-). Though, I also noticed that if the MC doesn't pay attention to her, in the scene where you're escaping from the festival, Sybil will kill the MC with a syringe—that is until Zu bursts in to rescue them.

I can't help but feel curious, because at first, I thought Sybil loved Zu. But is it because the MC treats her nice that she so quickly shifts her attention to them? And does she just like, don't have any feeling for Zu anymore?

spoilers hello! sorry for the late reply, I'm here I'm here ahhh thank you!!!!!!! <33333 I'm really happy to read things like that. (I feel like a lost baby animal rn, not knowing what to do and what to feel after "giving birth" to my biggest project, and honestly such words are very helpful) Sybil is one of the most mentally unstable characters in the game, if not THE most. I'm not sure if she even was in "love" with Zu since the beginning. but imagine being just a tiny figure of a "weak girl" in a big cruel world, not feeling any love from anyone, only from her brother (SOMETIMES), and not actually having any real friends. and there's Zu, all cool and smart, always close to her for some reason (because MC asked him to spend time with his friends, but Sybil didn't know about that), walking with her, visiting her sometimes, accepting all her invitations to go somewhere. was it love? no, but it was the source of attention, the smallest one, but the only one she had. but then - wow, that source of attention is attached to someone else?... disappointment, but hey, at least Zu's still walking with her sometimes. and then another wow - that MC person, talking with her more than Zu, giving her a jacket to keep her warm and healthy, buying her something to make her happy? it's even more attention! and more of that, not only empty acceptance of every invitation and spending it in silence, but ACTUAL kind actions and care. of course, she switches immediately. she's struggling and she's in pain, as if she betrayed Zu, but she's more happy about finding someone who finally CARES about her... and then runs away, while she stays all damaged and ruined by the person she used to "love", and left by the person she started to "love".
