I think most of them got mentioned in the comments below, check for people who were asking about the endings. If you're still missing something, write here and I or someone else will give tell you how! :)
I really want to share the experience of passing the game, and to be more precise, how I accidentally came to one ending
This ending is "Loyal". When I passed it, I decided to take on the role of a spy and acted in such a way as to confuse Dottore. So that he thinks that I am faithful to him, but in fact I am looking for a loophole to escape at a good and thoughtful moment
And in the end, when the Pantaloon scene came and I was sent for tea, we saw Pantaloon's crew. And I began to think: "The Harbingers are not stupid people, that's what they expect from me, that I will run to the carriage, they will catch me there and eventually they will send me away for experiments with the words: but I almost believed you." So I decided to choose the option in which we go for tea
I return to them and then they both start saying that they are surprised that I did not run away, and also say that I am really loyal to them. And they give me the ending of "Loyal"
Although in fact it was just my thought-out plan and if I really got into such a situation, I would find the right moment when Dottore completely trusts me and he does not even have the thought that I can escape and only then would I escape
And by the way, I was really surprised that in the ending, where we run away on the Pantaloon carriage, we really succeed. When passing through, I was waiting for someone to be in the carriage, for example, a clone, and this: well, that's it. let's go back to the experiments
(I'm writing this all through a translator, so I apologize if it's not clear what I mean.I just wanted to share my impressions with someone else besides my friends... which are not simps Dottore, unfortunately )
Not only did I love the gameplay, the writing, endings, and cgs (YOUR ART AND PERSPECTIVE IS SO GOOD!! The colouring was beautiful) were wonderful!! This is honestly some of the best Dottore characterization I've ever seen :D
Hi! I loved your adventure and it was super fun to play through! :)
I do have a few questions (WARNING HEAVY SPOILERS):
a) Was the mirror red herring, since it never really comes up? Did you originally plan for another ending involving it that got cut in the final version? Were you planning on having a scene where he observes you from there or somehthing liek that? :) I just wonder what was the point of having the mirror there.
Also, why did he seem 'hesitant' about entering the room/he didn't want to go inside, was there something special about it? Like he has a reason why he doesn't want to enter it? My first assumption was that there was either something wrong with the room (eg. special perfume in it or something, a trap of some sort) or he doesn't want to enter it because of something that had happened there (after finishing the game I thought maybe it was used for sex slaves, but then I thought that's very unlikely as it seems out of character for both Pantalone and Dottore).
1. My first ending was Loyal, and I enjoyed it, but I was surprised the game ended that way because I picked the choices which I thought were the most logical to escape, so I could get back with the intel to Sumeru "to win the game", since I thought there is a best, true spy escape ending. I thought that's where the next section of the game begins where you attempt to discreetly escape, so I was surprised he trusted you because I thought it was logical not to try to escape yet in both cases. I really like the ending, but I'm curious why does he trust you right away? Here is my reasoning for not trying to escape during those two times:
I didn't undo the strap as I thought I'd wait until Webtorre leaves, since he could spot the escape easily and I felt I should first get intel on what did the procedure do, to see if there's any maintenance or drawbacks you should be aware of (plus also if you can even walk etc., it's better to look cooperative and wait a day or two until you're sure you're physically okay and won't suddenly collapse or faint). And when I saw the carriage, I thought it was going to be a trick option with a bad end, since normally there should be a driver (as I assumed it's a normal carriage with horses) and as a student, I wasn't sure if the player could subdue the coach or take over the carraige quietly without raising a commotion and drawing attention to yourself. And if there wasn't a driver, I would've expected there to be no horses, as they would be in a stable (as they'd get too cold to be left outside for an hour or more without moving). The next day as I was thinking about it I realized it might've been a mechanical carriage, but since the text didn't mention if you could see a driver or not, I would still assume you might need a key to actually use it, so I wouldn't risk it right away, esp. with two Harbingers nearby who could very easily overpower you, so I was surprised the escape actually worked! :D As a tip, if you do plan on doing an update, maybe you could describe if it's a carriage with horses or mechanical one (in the latter case with an off-hand commentary whether you think you could steal it, ie. it needs no key or you could most likely hack it as a Ksharewar student?) and whether you can see the driver or not? That way it would make it easier for people to judge whether they could escape or not, since I assumed it was going to be a trap option where you get caught by the guards who subdue you themselves or call the Harbingers. :D
2. Which of the endings are you favourite, or do you like all of the "good ends" equally? Is there a "true" or best ending? :) I noticed that the True Spy ending seemed super short compared to the others, so I actually preferred the other endings with Dottore like Loyal and Apprentice. as the spy ending didn't really seem to have much rewards or pay-off storywise, unlike the others. :)
3. Speaking of which, did Dottore plan on killing you originally in the Loyal ending after doing the Dtest? Today I noticed he says that he planned on disposing the material when you wake up afterwards, which I realized means you (since on my first playthrough I thought he meant lab mats) but on the other hand, in the Obedient ending he never kills you even when you do try to escape, does that mean he didn't really plan on killing you? Or is it a divergent timeline where he would've killed you if he didn't notice you could've escaped? I do prefer to think that he likes you enough to keep you around like in Obedient ending or the other endings. :)
4. About the Immortal ending, was he planning on making the Apprentice or Loyal immortal eventually too? Personally I felt like he treated the player in the Immortal ending more like an experiment and an object at first, and he seems to care more and treats you like an equal in the other two, esp. with how he seems to butter you up while talking to Pantalone (with compliments, and you can see how jealous he is :D). Maybe it's because it's just a third person description, but does he grow to like the player more in the Immortal ending compared to the other two, or does he like you equally in all three, but just in the first one he decides that as probably more time has passed? How would you describe his feelings towards the player in all three endings? I felt like the latter two felt more romantic to me, tbh.:)
5. Is there a difference in what would happen after the Epilogue in the Apprentice if you didn't tell him the truth? Since there nothing about it in that ending, I assumed in that timeline he either doesn't know or doesn't care, since hte epilogue doesn't actually mention any consequences for not telling him, so if you do tell him, it just seemsl ike an extra bonus but not something that would happen in the keep it a secret timeline. Or did you plan on him doing something about it? If yes, maybe having a throwaway ominous line like "You're not sure if it was the best choice to keep it a secret from Dottore, but you're safe...for now." something like that to imply what might happen, like he says he would've done in the other endings, haha! I really liked both endings either way though! It was super sweet. :) Oh and it was interesting that there was the dichotomy that if you followed the plan, then the char would be only faking interest while you'd be genuinely curious if you stayed- I assumed you'd be still interested and eager to learn even if you wanted to get back to Sumeru, you'd just be still focused on the mission (which I thought would be even more fun since he could have more incentives to try to "seduce" you or convince you to join him if you try to remain a spy and get back home, hehe!).
6. I really loved the Loyal ending scene with Pantalone, are you going to tell us what he thought about you behind his "gentle smile"? Or is that a secret for the sequel? He totally wanted you for himself after learning about the loyalty, right? :) I'm guessing Dottore talked about you when you entered, he's talking about being justified in either giving you the Delusion test or taking you away to the Palace, right? So Pantalone knows you're a former spy.
7. Last question, does Dottore know in all endings that you're a spy, or only in the ones where he finds out (so not in the Immortal or Apprentice secret)? Did the sages plan on giving you to Dottore in all endings or just the Political Ending one? That was actually the last ending I got, so in retrospect I do wonder how were you supposed to be the gift unless they planned on telling him eventually or him just finding you're a spy and then assuming you're meant to be a"goodwill" gift? Did they plan on him using you for experiments and killing you, or did they think he would take you in as his apprentice, or perhaps they thought you might succeed and come back, and if not, you'd be the gift? The True Spy ending seems to imply they didn't count on it, but to me it does seem a bit OOC they'd just send you to your death/be experimented on, esp. as they see it as a sin. So I'd be interested in reading your thoughts about it! :)
Once again, I loved the game and I hope you don't mind I wrote a huge post asking about the questions I had. I really liked your writing and I'd love to hear what you think! Cheers!
Wow, that's a pretty long text here, but I'll try to answer everything ~
a) Hehe. Those thought circled in your head for quite some time, right? If yes, good. Considering Dottore is manipulative and enjoys that, nothing is better than making people think about ordinary things longer than they should - and have them come up with absurd connections and unusual theories. So, Dottore basically messed with the players mind~
For the Players room, it's the same reason as a), but with something more behind it. If you would ask Dottore about it, he would tell the reason I stated above for the mirror, but I would say he actually dislikes the room for another reason. Dottore mostly has no connections to people - also he doesn't seem to view most humans as emotional and sentinent individuals. An own room changes that. A personal room is a safe space, so entering it give the feeling of entering someone's world - and I think that's what scares Dottore a little.
1. Loyal end seems to be liked by many, so I think there might be a reason hehe. As for his - kind of sudden - change of mind... The option to steal the carriage was a test - hence it was so easy. And the punishment for trying would ne the Frozen end. I originally wanted to end another choice - to poison the tea, but I figured no way the player could obtain/make/steal poison from anywhere.
The loyal end is kept pretty 'light' in terms of reason end explanation, because I wanted/will start the second game from there.
From there, the player will be able to either stay or plan their escape more detailed~ (adding that to the first game would only make the path lenght even more uneven comparing 'true spy' and 'loyal'.
2(?) I think the most 'true' end would be the loyal/obedient one, as the paths/ends are pretty similar story wise. For the true Spy end, I wanted to keep it short and pretty unsatisfying. I mean, the reason you downloaded the game surely wasn't because you wanted to initally escape from the mad Doctor, right?~ (still added it because I thought it would be kinda nice to have).
3. What Sparks His interest are unusual things/behaviour. People who carry this spark are worthy to keep around, at least that's what he believes. So your thoughts about his Initial plan to get rid of the Player and their 'wasted' escape chance is correct~
4. His relationship to the player is pretty much like you said, summed up to "obsessive" for the Immortal end and "respecting" for the other.
5. For the "Not telling the truth" Thing... Depending on the variable "letter kept/burned", If that is what you mean.
6. Yes. (I don't really need to elaborate this Fürther I guess XD Pantalone has Connections and know Dottore and his behaviour well~)
7. The actually plan of the Sages was a "Blade with two Sides". They knew the Player was a problem. Best case: the Player returns with valuable information for the Sages. Worst case: the Player's disguise would fail and *someone* would take *care* of them. So either way, it would be a win for the sages~
I also planned an actual return-to-sumeru path for the second part (which would be different than the true Spy end because the Sages never expected the Player to actually side and survive with/around the Doctor~)
Thanks your answers, that clears it up a lot! :) Originally I was planning just making a short reply, but it ended up as another big post, so feel free to reply anytime, I don't mind waiting!
a) Oh yeah, that makes sense! I see Dottore a bit differently, like he does see other people as sentient humans, however everyone has different HCs of him. :) That was really unexpected, I wouldn't have thought that to be the reason (messing with people and esp. him being scared a little of entering someone's world), so that was definitely interesting, and in the former case of messing with people, really funny!! I think he'd be super surprised if someone told him the "sex slave room but seems out of character for you" theory, I wonder if he'd consider it funny or distasteful that someone would even consider the possibility (or if it's not unexpected for him), haha!
1. Yeah, personally Loyal is my favourite ending, followed by the Apprentice. :) I liked the idea of both being loyal, and being a spy who's interested in the stuff but is trying to escape (with the latter possibility allowing for some cool "seduce the spy" routes), so I'm definitely looking forward to your sequel! I'm guessing asking if he still has any more doubts after that or mostly trusts you is a spoiler, hehe! (I really liked how he seems to trust you, so it'd be nice to find out if he actually does, esp. after the second test, cause he did seem genuine *squee*). On that note, I'm surprised he'd just let you go (and get the True Spy ending), I'm guessing in that case he'd eventually pop up one day? :) Like in the Double Spy ending (esp. since he did do the Delusion test).
And ooh, what were your plans for the poison ending? What would've happened? And yeah, I agree, unless Dottore meant it as another test and left there things you could mix on purpose (and you're not an Amurta student), it does seem hard to pull off (plus I wouldn't do it, I bet Dottore would most likely be immune or able to heal himself, haha!)
2. To be honest, I really enjoy the "spy escapes succesfully" stories, so that was my number one big end I wanted to reach first, gain the intel and leave, but I did leave it open in case I would've found a path that would be even more fun, like the Doctor seducing you to be his assisstant or something (something similar to the Apprentice route). I actually forgot to add this, but the first time he mentioned the Akademiya on the first day, I thought he knows and I misinterpreted it, so I thought I might as well explore since knows and expects me to snoop around, lol! Queue my surprise when it turns out he (most likely) just found I the player has been kicked out from the Akademiya and not that you're a spy. So I probably would've stayed in (and gotten Apprentice or Guilty) otherwise. I really wanted to ask him "Oh, so you found out?" with a merry laugh/chuckle back at the door, how would he have reacted to that? (and it'd be even funnier if he only mentioned being kicked out but not the spy bit, whether he'd notice the momentary confusion/surprise that he didn't actually find out the player is a spy!)
3. In that case, why does he keep the player in the Obedient route who tries to escape, esp. if you reach it by playing the same way you'd reach the Loyal ending, so the only difference is that you don't try to escape? Why would he try to dispose of you in the latter case and not the former? That's what was surprising to me, or is you knocking out Webtorre interesting enough for him to want to keep you around, so in one case he keeps you cause you managed to escape and knock him out, and in the other because you didn't escape? I'm guessing he wants to dispose of you only because he still hasn't seen enough of you like in the Apprentice/Guilty/Immortal routes, otherwise he would've found you interesting enough to keep you right away. Am I correct in assuming he thought your interest was fake, and that was why he wanted to dispose of you in Loyal at first?
5.Ah, right! I tried both versions and I think the ending was always the same whether you burn it or not, if you decide to keep it a secret as the Apprentice from him, so that's why I was wondering if he actually would react negatively if he found out later.
7. Oh nice, I'm looking forward to that! :) Ah, so him saying you¨re a goodwill "gift" from the sages was just bluffing with you and messing with you?
Thanks again, it was great to hear your thoughts! Tbh I've been obsessed with the game since I played it on Sunday night, so I'm looking forward to the sequel and seeing more interactions with Dottore (and Pantalone I'm hoping, hehe!). I'm guessing it will take a few months at least again to make it, right? so I should be expecting the release date to be at last half a year or more? :)
God bless you for making this game! Il Dottore is my favorite character in Genshin by far 😍 I would love to spend more time with him and read about more romantic moments, but I'm glad to have played this game regardless. A million times thank you! 😭💙
Oh, and by the way, I loved the choices offered to the protagonist! We can be nice to the doctor and be rewarded afterwards 🥰
I am in wild delight and love for your creation. This game gave me better emotions for 3 hours of passing through all the endings and interesting dialogues. Thank you so much for creating such a masterpiece!
Really smart choices of actions and actions of the character brought great pleasure - when our character is an ordinary person who just stuck his nose in the wrong things and just wants to go home and get an education. He can be both a real spy and a person who realized that he was not expected at the Academiya, and he no longer has a home. To understand that Fatui can give more and better than the Academiya, or to cooperate, believing the Academiya to the end.
I really like how well you felt Dottore. It is a character married to science and his work. A smart and cunning man. There are no direct dates with Dottore here, but it suits him perfectly. All he can give is a couple of gentle touches, a good attitude, and a little obsession. Perfect.
I was very glad to see Dottore from the manga - this little impatient teenager who just wants to open us (Ehehe, bonk from the wand, thanks even for such a development of events). What a charming fidget. Other segments, as well as the Ninth Harbinger, and other NPCs are also glad to see!
THE ENDINGS ARE THE BEST, AMAZING, OH TSARITSA , THIS IS THE BEST IN MY LIFE! I'm really crying out of love for this project. The plot, its forks, our answers to choose from - everything is great!
Art, music: Music is very suitable, and the art is insanely beautiful! Both the backgrounds (I'm in love with them) and the characters themselves, a detailed drawing of all the details of the costumes of the same Prime, for example, is very hard work.
Translation into russian: this is a really high-quality translation. Not a simple run through a translator, but a beautiful literary language that is pleasant and good to read. I love the same "Сгинь." from the mouth of Prime. I also saw a typo in russian somewhere in one word, but it's not scary at all!
Technical part: I found one Traceback in the russian version - 1. File "game/tl/russian/script_visit.rpy", line 122, in the script and 2. File "renpy/common/00library.rpy", line 321, in say - Exception: '/i' closes a text tag that is not open.
This game is lovely! I love Dottore and I'll take any content I can get. I got all the endings in like an hour, my favorites are definitely the apprentice and the loyal endings, something about learning under the Dottore (And the illustration of his hands on yours... mrhrghghh..🤤🤤), and something about staying with Dottore despite what he's done to you and not escaping despite the fact you have so many chances to run off. The whole game and all the endings make my brain spin inside my skull with thoughts💞💞💞💞
Case in point, the illustrations are delicious, the story is great, the endings all unique in their own way, and Dottore is sexy. Thank you for making this game!! 💞💞💞💞
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME NOW!! ,, i really appreciated the dev's hard work!! :DD. TYSM FOR CREATING THIS MASTERPIECE!! ໒꒰ྀིᵔ ᵕ ᵔ ꒱ྀི১ !! AND TYSM TO THE DEV!! I WISH U A GOOD WEEK!! :D THAT'S ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY!!! (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)⁾⁾⁾
Thank you very much! And I would also like to thank you that there is a Russian voice acting in the game, when I started playing, I realized in shock that there is my native language and that I can safely play without trying to translate the text on the go
Hello, I hope someone can help, I downloaded the apple version since I wanted to play on my Mac, but now I'm kinda lost and don't know how the start the game xD Could someone tell me how to start it? :,D
Hi there! I sadly can't give any advice than previous given by other users - but I remember someone else was having trouble with installing and fixed it by updating the computer!
The game is great. I love Dottore, so this game is just a godsend for me! But please tell me how to open ending 2, I opened all the endings and only 2 I can’t open 😭😭😭
This is an incredible, beautiful game! I enjoyed the atmosphere, the music and the painted backgrounds etc. You can immediately see the creators have golden hands and they clearly have a love for their work❤️.
I'm wondering if there will be a sequel or an additional story?
The game is soooo good and feels very in character for Dottore.
My favourite ending would have to be Apprentice, but Guilty and Loyal are also really nice. I can't really decide which I like best!! The twists and turns in the story are also very interesting, especially in the second ending if Dottore is to be believed.
I made an account to say I loved this game so much. I completed it and played it over again and again, I love Dottore so much. The endings were wonderful, and I personally loved every one of them. The storyline accurately matched his personality, and I couldn't be more obsessed! Fantastic game, I could rant about it and make several paragraphs on why I loved every bit of it. Thank you so much for this visual novel!!!
Got all the endings except 2, but it's 3am and I'm going to go to bed and try again tomorrow! Just wanted to say I've been following the creation of this game on tiktok forever and I'm so excited it's out!! Tysm for making it, it's super fun and I'm mildly obsessed with Il Dottore (as are we all if we're here I suppose) and this has very much helped feed the hyperfixation. Also I love the art :D
I really look forward to anything else you'll end up putting out in the future!!!
Hello, just want to ask why can't I download it? I keep clicking download but it only says: 'the download should start momentarily' or something. I want to play it so bad, thank you. <3
Oh my god I absolutely love this game. The artwork is incredible, the twists in the story and all that good stuff! jeez, and even dottore being on screen gave me literal chills. I managed to get all the endings so far and I just- AGHHSDCVBSHJA
Simply put, words cannot describe just how much I literally love this game. By far one of my favorites to play here on Itch.io. Thank you so much for your hard work!!!
I have unlocked all but one of the endings. I'm working on a separate sheet where I write down the solutions to get the last ending. It's the second from the top, let's see when I get that :D
It's a lot of fun to read, which is why I think it's fun to work something out, just because Il Dottore is my absolute favorite character since the webcomic. The way he is portrayed is just wonderful
Should you release more such dating sims with Il Dottore I would love to play them again.
Of course :) I did needed a few tries but this was my way
Keep the Note / Watch him / Actually, I / No, I- m-my plan? Ahaha / I must stay focused on my mission / ... / I don’t know / Remain quietly seated / True, where- / Hello? / N-no / Stay / Stay still / None of it - I can explain!
I got all the endings..! This was a rollercoaster ride omg. Just loved it soo much especially since he's my favourite. Liked the "Immortal" and "Apprentice" ending the most❤️
may i request a hint for the second (from the top) ending? it feels like i tried every dialogue option and im unsure how to get it as i have gotten everything else
i got the ending so for my now fully honest review i loved the game a lot, even if parts of it werent straight up romance i think it fits dottore a lot, even his va stated hes not too interested in romance and such so i think the simple affectionate actions conveyed his character canonly. if you do ever feel like making some sort of sequel or anything of the kind that is related to the harbigers id happily play it :))
Honestly, idk. I would rather have funny moments than mull through a dull and uninspired one, a staple ofc. Idk really, never really had anyone asked that question.
After downloading, open the folder and take a look:
there should be some more folders (which are unimportant) and open one of the three single files called "DATS" (for me, it's the file at the top, but that might differ depending on the sorting function of your pc, the file details should state the correct file is an executable file)

I think most of them got mentioned in the comments below, check for people who were asking about the endings. If you're still missing something, write here and I or someone else will give tell you how! :)
How can I get 1, 2, 5, 7 endings ?
I really want to share the experience of passing the game, and to be more precise, how I accidentally came to one ending
This ending is "Loyal". When I passed it, I decided to take on the role of a spy and acted in such a way as to confuse Dottore. So that he thinks that I am faithful to him, but in fact I am looking for a loophole to escape at a good and thoughtful moment
And in the end, when the Pantaloon scene came and I was sent for tea, we saw Pantaloon's crew. And I began to think: "The Harbingers are not stupid people, that's what they expect from me, that I will run to the carriage, they will catch me there and eventually they will send me away for experiments with the words: but I almost believed you." So I decided to choose the option in which we go for tea
I return to them and then they both start saying that they are surprised that I did not run away, and also say that I am really loyal to them. And they give me the ending of "Loyal"
Although in fact it was just my thought-out plan and if I really got into such a situation, I would find the right moment when Dottore completely trusts me and he does not even have the thought that I can escape and only then would I escape
And by the way, I was really surprised that in the ending, where we run away on the Pantaloon carriage, we really succeed. When passing through, I was waiting for someone to be in the carriage, for example, a clone, and this: well, that's it. let's go back to the experiments
(I'm writing this all through a translator, so I apologize if it's not clear what I mean.I just wanted to share my impressions with someone else besides my friends... which are not simps Dottore, unfortunately )
Not only did I love the gameplay, the writing, endings, and cgs (YOUR ART AND PERSPECTIVE IS SO GOOD!! The colouring was beautiful) were wonderful!!
This is honestly some of the best Dottore characterization I've ever seen :D
Oh and I liked how you portrayed Dottore and Pantalone! :) ❤️
Hi! I loved your adventure and it was super fun to play through! :)
I do have a few questions (WARNING HEAVY SPOILERS):
a) Was the mirror red herring, since it never really comes up? Did you originally plan for another ending involving it that got cut in the final version? Were you planning on having a scene where he observes you from there or somehthing liek that? :) I just wonder what was the point of having the mirror there.
Also, why did he seem 'hesitant' about entering the room/he didn't want to go inside, was there something special about it? Like he has a reason why he doesn't want to enter it? My first assumption was that there was either something wrong with the room (eg. special perfume in it or something, a trap of some sort) or he doesn't want to enter it because of something that had happened there (after finishing the game I thought maybe it was used for sex slaves, but then I thought that's very unlikely as it seems out of character for both Pantalone and Dottore).
1. My first ending was Loyal, and I enjoyed it, but I was surprised the game ended that way because I picked the choices which I thought were the most logical to escape, so I could get back with the intel to Sumeru "to win the game", since I thought there is a best, true spy escape ending.
I thought that's where the next section of the game begins where you attempt to discreetly escape, so I was surprised he trusted you because I thought it was logical not to try to escape yet in both cases. I really like the ending, but I'm curious why does he trust you right away? Here is my reasoning for not trying to escape during those two times:
I didn't undo the strap as I thought I'd wait until Webtorre leaves, since he could spot the escape easily and I felt I should first get intel on what did the procedure do, to see if there's any maintenance or drawbacks you should be aware of (plus also if you can even walk etc., it's better to look cooperative and wait a day or two until you're sure you're physically okay and won't suddenly collapse or faint). And when I saw the carriage, I thought it was going to be a trick option with a bad end, since normally there should be a driver (as I assumed it's a normal carriage with horses) and as a student, I wasn't sure if the player could subdue the coach or take over the carraige quietly without raising a commotion and drawing attention to yourself. And if there wasn't a driver, I would've expected there to be no horses, as they would be in a stable (as they'd get too cold to be left outside for an hour or more without moving).
The next day as I was thinking about it I realized it might've been a mechanical carriage, but since the text didn't mention if you could see a driver or not, I would still assume you might need a key to actually use it, so I wouldn't risk it right away, esp. with two Harbingers nearby who could very easily overpower you, so I was surprised the escape actually worked! :D As a tip, if you do plan on doing an update, maybe you could describe if it's a carriage with horses or mechanical one (in the latter case with an off-hand commentary whether you think you could steal it, ie. it needs no key or you could most likely hack it as a Ksharewar student?) and whether you can see the driver or not? That way it would make it easier for people to judge whether they could escape or not, since I assumed it was going to be a trap option where you get caught by the guards who subdue you themselves or call the Harbingers. :D
2. Which of the endings are you favourite, or do you like all of the "good ends" equally? Is there a "true" or best ending? :) I noticed that the True Spy ending seemed super short compared to the others, so I actually preferred the other endings with Dottore like Loyal and Apprentice. as the spy ending didn't really seem to have much rewards or pay-off storywise, unlike the others. :)
3. Speaking of which, did Dottore plan on killing you originally in the Loyal ending after doing the Dtest? Today I noticed he says that he planned on disposing the material when you wake up afterwards, which I realized means you (since on my first playthrough I thought he meant lab mats) but on the other hand, in the Obedient ending he never kills you even when you do try to escape, does that mean he didn't really plan on killing you? Or is it a divergent timeline where he would've killed you if he didn't notice you could've escaped? I do prefer to think that he likes you enough to keep you around like in Obedient ending or the other endings. :)
4. About the Immortal ending, was he planning on making the Apprentice or Loyal immortal eventually too? Personally I felt like he treated the player in the Immortal ending more like an experiment and an object at first, and he seems to care more and treats you like an equal in the other two, esp. with how he seems to butter you up while talking to Pantalone (with compliments, and you can see how jealous he is :D). Maybe it's because it's just a third person description, but does he grow to like the player more in the Immortal ending compared to the other two, or does he like you equally in all three, but just in the first one he decides that as probably more time has passed? How would you describe his feelings towards the player in all three endings? I felt like the latter two felt more romantic to me, tbh.:)
5. Is there a difference in what would happen after the Epilogue in the Apprentice if you didn't tell him the truth? Since there nothing about it in that ending, I assumed in that timeline he either doesn't know or doesn't care, since hte epilogue doesn't actually mention any consequences for not telling him, so if you do tell him, it just seemsl ike an extra bonus but not something that would happen in the keep it a secret timeline. Or did you plan on him doing something about it? If yes, maybe having a throwaway ominous line like "You're not sure if it was the best choice to keep it a secret from Dottore, but you're safe...for now." something like that to imply what might happen, like he says he would've done in the other endings, haha! I really liked both endings either way though! It was super sweet. :)
Oh and it was interesting that there was the dichotomy that if you followed the plan, then the char would be only faking interest while you'd be genuinely curious if you stayed- I assumed you'd be still interested and eager to learn even if you wanted to get back to Sumeru, you'd just be still focused on the mission (which I thought would be even more fun since he could have more incentives to try to "seduce" you or convince you to join him if you try to remain a spy and get back home, hehe!).
6. I really loved the Loyal ending scene with Pantalone, are you going to tell us what he thought about you behind his "gentle smile"? Or is that a secret for the sequel? He totally wanted you for himself after learning about the loyalty, right? :) I'm guessing Dottore talked about you when you entered, he's talking about being justified in either giving you the Delusion test or taking you away to the Palace, right? So Pantalone knows you're a former spy.
7. Last question, does Dottore know in all endings that you're a spy, or only in the ones where he finds out (so not in the Immortal or Apprentice secret)? Did the sages plan on giving you to Dottore in all endings or just the Political Ending one? That was actually the last ending I got, so in retrospect I do wonder how were you supposed to be the gift unless they planned on telling him eventually or him just finding you're a spy and then assuming you're meant to be a"goodwill" gift? Did they plan on him using you for experiments and killing you, or did they think he would take you in as his apprentice, or perhaps they thought you might succeed and come back, and if not, you'd be the gift? The True Spy ending seems to imply they didn't count on it, but to me it does seem a bit OOC they'd just send you to your death/be experimented on, esp. as they see it as a sin. So I'd be interested in reading your thoughts about it! :)
Once again, I loved the game and I hope you don't mind I wrote a huge post asking about the questions I had. I really liked your writing and I'd love to hear what you think! Cheers!
Hi there!
Wow, that's a pretty long text here, but I'll try to answer everything ~
a) Hehe. Those thought circled in your head for quite some time, right? If yes, good. Considering Dottore is manipulative and enjoys that, nothing is better than making people think about ordinary things longer than they should - and have them come up with absurd connections and unusual theories. So, Dottore basically messed with the players mind~
For the Players room, it's the same reason as a), but with something more behind it. If you would ask Dottore about it, he would tell the reason I stated above for the mirror, but I would say he actually dislikes the room for another reason. Dottore mostly has no connections to people - also he doesn't seem to view most humans as emotional and sentinent individuals. An own room changes that. A personal room is a safe space, so entering it give the feeling of entering someone's world - and I think that's what scares Dottore a little.
1. Loyal end seems to be liked by many, so I think there might be a reason hehe. As for his - kind of sudden - change of mind... The option to steal the carriage was a test - hence it was so easy. And the punishment for trying would ne the Frozen end. I originally wanted to end another choice - to poison the tea, but I figured no way the player could obtain/make/steal poison from anywhere.
The loyal end is kept pretty 'light' in terms of reason end explanation, because I wanted/will start the second game from there.
From there, the player will be able to either stay or plan their escape more detailed~ (adding that to the first game would only make the path lenght even more uneven comparing 'true spy' and 'loyal'.
2(?) I think the most 'true' end would be the loyal/obedient one, as the paths/ends are pretty similar story wise. For the true Spy end, I wanted to keep it short and pretty unsatisfying. I mean, the reason you downloaded the game surely wasn't because you wanted to initally escape from the mad Doctor, right?~ (still added it because I thought it would be kinda nice to have).
3. What Sparks His interest are unusual things/behaviour. People who carry this spark are worthy to keep around, at least that's what he believes. So your thoughts about his Initial plan to get rid of the Player and their 'wasted' escape chance is correct~
4. His relationship to the player is pretty much like you said, summed up to "obsessive" for the Immortal end and "respecting" for the other.
5. For the "Not telling the truth" Thing... Depending on the variable "letter kept/burned", If that is what you mean.
6. Yes. (I don't really need to elaborate this Fürther I guess XD Pantalone has Connections and know Dottore and his behaviour well~)
7. The actually plan of the Sages was a "Blade with two Sides". They knew the Player was a problem. Best case: the Player returns with valuable information for the Sages. Worst case: the Player's disguise would fail and *someone* would take *care* of them. So either way, it would be a win for the sages~
I also planned an actual return-to-sumeru path for the second part (which would be different than the true Spy end because the Sages never expected the Player to actually side and survive with/around the Doctor~)
Thank you for your questions and thoughts :3
Thanks your answers, that clears it up a lot! :) Originally I was planning just making a short reply, but it ended up as another big post, so feel free to reply anytime, I don't mind waiting!
a) Oh yeah, that makes sense! I see Dottore a bit differently, like he does see other people as sentient humans, however everyone has different HCs of him. :) That was really unexpected, I wouldn't have thought that to be the reason (messing with people and esp. him being scared a little of entering someone's world), so that was definitely interesting, and in the former case of messing with people, really funny!! I think he'd be super surprised if someone told him the "sex slave room but seems out of character for you" theory, I wonder if he'd consider it funny or distasteful that someone would even consider the possibility (or if it's not unexpected for him), haha!
1. Yeah, personally Loyal is my favourite ending, followed by the Apprentice. :) I liked the idea of both being loyal, and being a spy who's interested in the stuff but is trying to escape (with the latter possibility allowing for some cool "seduce the spy" routes), so I'm definitely looking forward to your sequel! I'm guessing asking if he still has any more doubts after that or mostly trusts you is a spoiler, hehe! (I really liked how he seems to trust you, so it'd be nice to find out if he actually does, esp. after the second test, cause he did seem genuine *squee*). On that note, I'm surprised he'd just let you go (and get the True Spy ending), I'm guessing in that case he'd eventually pop up one day? :) Like in the Double Spy ending (esp. since he did do the Delusion test).
And ooh, what were your plans for the poison ending? What would've happened? And yeah, I agree, unless Dottore meant it as another test and left there things you could mix on purpose (and you're not an Amurta student), it does seem hard to pull off (plus I wouldn't do it, I bet Dottore would most likely be immune or able to heal himself, haha!)
2. To be honest, I really enjoy the "spy escapes succesfully" stories, so that was my number one big end I wanted to reach first, gain the intel and leave, but I did leave it open in case I would've found a path that would be even more fun, like the Doctor seducing you to be his assisstant or something (something similar to the Apprentice route). I actually forgot to add this, but the first time he mentioned the Akademiya on the first day, I thought he knows and I misinterpreted it, so I thought I might as well explore since knows and expects me to snoop around, lol! Queue my surprise when it turns out he (most likely) just found I the player has been kicked out from the Akademiya and not that you're a spy. So I probably would've stayed in (and gotten Apprentice or Guilty) otherwise. I really wanted to ask him "Oh, so you found out?" with a merry laugh/chuckle back at the door, how would he have reacted to that? (and it'd be even funnier if he only mentioned being kicked out but not the spy bit, whether he'd notice the momentary confusion/surprise that he didn't actually find out the player is a spy!)
3. In that case, why does he keep the player in the Obedient route who tries to escape, esp. if you reach it by playing the same way you'd reach the Loyal ending, so the only difference is that you don't try to escape? Why would he try to dispose of you in the latter case and not the former? That's what was surprising to me, or is you knocking out Webtorre interesting enough for him to want to keep you around, so in one case he keeps you cause you managed to escape and knock him out, and in the other because you didn't escape? I'm guessing he wants to dispose of you only because he still hasn't seen enough of you like in the Apprentice/Guilty/Immortal routes, otherwise he would've found you interesting enough to keep you right away. Am I correct in assuming he thought your interest was fake, and that was why he wanted to dispose of you in Loyal at first?
5.Ah, right! I tried both versions and I think the ending was always the same whether you burn it or not, if you decide to keep it a secret as the Apprentice from him, so that's why I was wondering if he actually would react negatively if he found out later.
7. Oh nice, I'm looking forward to that! :) Ah, so him saying you¨re a goodwill "gift" from the sages was just bluffing with you and messing with you?
Thanks again, it was great to hear your thoughts! Tbh I've been obsessed with the game since I played it on Sunday night, so I'm looking forward to the sequel and seeing more interactions with Dottore (and Pantalone I'm hoping, hehe!). I'm guessing it will take a few months at least again to make it, right? so I should be expecting the release date to be at last half a year or more? :)
God bless you for making this game! Il Dottore is my favorite character in Genshin by far 😍 I would love to spend more time with him and read about more romantic moments, but I'm glad to have played this game regardless. A million times thank you! 😭💙
Oh, and by the way, I loved the choices offered to the protagonist! We can be nice to the doctor and be rewarded afterwards 🥰
great game, i love it! The endings and artwork are amazing too. But i have a bit of trouble getting the 10th ending :')
Try to escape after the Delusion Test. :)
thanks! i'll try that
Я ждала эту игру больше, чем собственный ДР. Теперь жду вторую часть больше, чем новый год! Бьякуя, я тебя обожаю 😭❤️
I love this game but I am struggling to reach the 5th ending I've been trying to get it for 30 mins :')
Nvm I Just got it :)
The solution is: don't get caught exploring and then continue the mission (continue vs abandon choice). Then do what he says instead of refusing. :)
I am in wild delight and love for your creation. This game gave me better emotions for 3 hours of passing through all the endings and interesting dialogues. Thank you so much for creating such a masterpiece!
----------------------------------------------------
Really smart choices of actions and actions of the character brought great pleasure - when our character is an ordinary person who just stuck his nose in the wrong things and just wants to go home and get an education. He can be both a real spy and a person who realized that he was not expected at the Academiya, and he no longer has a home. To understand that Fatui can give more and better than the Academiya, or to cooperate, believing the Academiya to the end.
I really like how well you felt Dottore. It is a character married to science and his work. A smart and cunning man. There are no direct dates with Dottore here, but it suits him perfectly. All he can give is a couple of gentle touches, a good attitude, and a little obsession. Perfect.
I was very glad to see Dottore from the manga - this little impatient teenager who just wants to open us (Ehehe, bonk from the wand, thanks even for such a development of events). What a charming fidget. Other segments, as well as the Ninth Harbinger, and other NPCs are also glad to see!
THE ENDINGS ARE THE BEST, AMAZING, OH TSARITSA , THIS IS THE BEST IN MY LIFE! I'm really crying out of love for this project. The plot, its forks, our answers to choose from - everything is great!
----------------------------------------------------
Art, music: Music is very suitable, and the art is insanely beautiful! Both the backgrounds (I'm in love with them) and the characters themselves, a detailed drawing of all the details of the costumes of the same Prime, for example, is very hard work.
----------------------------------------------------
Translation into russian: this is a really high-quality translation. Not a simple run through a translator, but a beautiful literary language that is pleasant and good to read. I love the same "Сгинь." from the mouth of Prime. I also saw a typo in russian somewhere in one word, but it's not scary at all!
----------------------------------------------------
Technical part: I found one Traceback in the russian version - 1. File "game/tl/russian/script_visit.rpy", line 122, in the script and 2. File "renpy/common/00library.rpy", line 321, in say - Exception: '/i' closes a text tag that is not open.
----------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your game! Good luck to you!
Amazing job! Well Written and well done!!
can you tell me how you got to all three endings?
Which ending(s) are you trying get? (Starting a Nr. 1 up to end 10)
10
Try to escape after the Delusion Test.
This game is lovely! I love Dottore and I'll take any content I can get. I got all the endings in like an hour, my favorites are definitely the apprentice and the loyal endings, something about learning under the Dottore (And the illustration of his hands on yours... mrhrghghh..🤤🤤), and something about staying with Dottore despite what he's done to you and not escaping despite the fact you have so many chances to run off. The whole game and all the endings make my brain spin inside my skull with thoughts💞💞💞💞
Case in point, the illustrations are delicious, the story is great, the endings all unique in their own way, and Dottore is sexy. Thank you for making this game!! 💞💞💞💞
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME NOW!! ,, i really appreciated the dev's hard work!! :DD. TYSM FOR CREATING THIS MASTERPIECE!! ໒꒰ྀིᵔ ᵕ ᵔ ꒱ྀི১ !! AND TYSM TO THE DEV!! I WISH U A GOOD WEEK!! :D THAT'S ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY!!! (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)⁾⁾⁾
I cant find how to get the second ending :')
Hi there~
To get the second ending, there are 2 important choices + some semi-important ones:
1. Keep the letter
2. Behave weird/suspicious at the ball (these are the semi-important choices, as each choice at the ball adds 'points' towards one outcome)
3. ...?
what should I do if I can't do it?(
I fulfill these requirements, but I go out to the same endings again
The 3. Step is to select "None" after the asks which type of test you prefer.
Ah thank you! Thank you so much for helping me i got all of the endings and by the way i love your game its awsome
Thank you very much! And I would also like to thank you that there is a Russian voice acting in the game, when I started playing, I realized in shock that there is my native language and that I can safely play without trying to translate the text on the go
I love this game but can anyone give me a hint to the 9th ending?
You should let Dottore and young Dottore do the delusion experiment, from there you should avoid trying to escape.
Hello, I hope someone can help, I downloaded the apple version since I wanted to play on my Mac, but now I'm kinda lost and don't know how the start the game xD Could someone tell me how to start it? :,D
Have you tried unzipping the game into its own folder and then clicking on the game executable in it?
I just tried that, didn't work out. It's still not starting
I don't have a Mac, so I can't help you more, sorry! That's all I could think of.
it’s fine! Thanks anyway :)
Hi there! I sadly can't give any advice than previous given by other users - but I remember someone else was having trouble with installing and fixed it by updating the computer!
The game is great. I love Dottore, so this game is just a godsend for me! But please tell me how to open ending 2, I opened all the endings and only 2 I can’t open 😭😭😭
If you go just below in the comments, you can see the answer to your question ;)
This is an incredible, beautiful game!
I enjoyed the atmosphere, the music and the painted backgrounds etc.
You can immediately see the creators have golden hands and they clearly have a love for their work❤️.
I'm wondering if there will be a sequel or an additional story?
I LOVE this game! I need to get the second de ending though and I need serious hints pls 😭🙏
UPDATE: I just got the ending, and I loved this game soooo much! 10/10 would play and stress over again!
The game is soooo good and feels very in character for Dottore.
My favourite ending would have to be Apprentice, but Guilty and Loyal are also really nice. I can't really decide which I like best!! The twists and turns in the story are also very interesting, especially in the second ending if Dottore is to be believed.
I made an account to say I loved this game so much. I completed it and played it over again and again, I love Dottore so much. The endings were wonderful, and I personally loved every one of them. The storyline accurately matched his personality, and I couldn't be more obsessed! Fantastic game, I could rant about it and make several paragraphs on why I loved every bit of it. Thank you so much for this visual novel!!!
Hi! I haven't completed the game, but I'm loving it so far
Since the language options are still a bit limited, I'd like to offer my help since I'm a Spanish native with certain level of English.
Keep up the good work!
I love this game already and yet I still trying hard to get the last ending wish me luck or maybe some hints if you don't mind 🥲
Which ending are you trying to get? :)
Got all the endings except 2, but it's 3am and I'm going to go to bed and try again tomorrow! Just wanted to say I've been following the creation of this game on tiktok forever and I'm so excited it's out!! Tysm for making it, it's super fun and I'm mildly obsessed with Il Dottore (as are we all if we're here I suppose) and this has very much helped feed the hyperfixation. Also I love the art :D
I really look forward to anything else you'll end up putting out in the future!!!
Hello, just want to ask why can't I download it? I keep clicking download but it only says: 'the download should start momentarily' or something. I want to play it so bad, thank you. <3
Hi there!
For what type of device are you trying to download it?
It might be a problem with your Internet connection, as the file is ~180MB
On windows pc, I think my internet connection is stable.
Hm, okay. Might there be an add-on or something blocking the download? Some computers classify downloads like this as a potential threat.
Are you able to test the download on another device? (Android phone, Mac...?)
I get the same problem on android :,>
Can you check the download folder of the device? The only other idea I have is to try another wlan :/
Oh my god I absolutely love this game. The artwork is incredible, the twists in the story and all that good stuff! jeez, and even dottore being on screen gave me literal chills. I managed to get all the endings so far and I just- AGHHSDCVBSHJA
Simply put, words cannot describe just how much I literally love this game. By far one of my favorites to play here on Itch.io. Thank you so much for your hard work!!!
I hope I can support you with future projects !!
can i get a hint for the 6th ending? im stumped
nevermind i go it. great game btw :D
Hi! Sorry for the late reply, glad you found end 6 by yourself! :)
Update I just figured it out now fyi the game is amazing keep up the good work but remember to take breaks!
I have unlocked all but one of the endings. I'm working on a separate sheet where I write down the solutions to get the last ending. It's the second from the top, let's see when I get that :D
It's a lot of fun to read, which is why I think it's fun to work something out, just because Il Dottore is my absolute favorite character since the webcomic. The way he is portrayed is just wonderful
Should you release more such dating sims with Il Dottore I would love to play them again.
Love, Eve
Tell me the answers you chose pls 🙏 I'm trying to get the same one! Gl to you!
Of course :) I did needed a few tries but this was my way
Keep the Note / Watch him / Actually, I / No, I- m-my plan? Ahaha / I must stay focused on my mission / ... / I don’t know / Remain quietly seated / True, where- / Hello? / N-no / Stay / Stay still / None of it - I can explain!
tysm (≧∇≦)/
I got all the endings..! This was a rollercoaster ride omg. Just loved it soo much especially since he's my favourite. Liked the "Immortal" and "Apprentice" ending the most❤️
may i request a hint for the second (from the top) ending? it feels like i tried every dialogue option and im unsure how to get it as i have gotten everything else
Sure! To get the second ending, there are 2 important choices + some semi-important ones.
1. Keep the letter
2. Behave weird/suspicious at the ball (these are the semi-important choices, as each choice at the ball adds 'points' towards one outcome)
3. ...?
i got the ending so for my now fully honest review i loved the game a lot, even if parts of it werent straight up romance i think it fits dottore a lot, even his va stated hes not too interested in romance and such so i think the simple affectionate actions conveyed his character canonly. if you do ever feel like making some sort of sequel or anything of the kind that is related to the harbigers id happily play it :))
a pretty good game ngl. tbh really thought this was gonna be a dating sim frfr but ig for me it doesn't fit that desc
thank you! The game - and the endings - were based on what my Followers wished for, so I guess 'dating/romance' differs for each person!
If I were to make another - actual - dating sim, what would you like to be included? :D
Honestly, idk. I would rather have funny moments than mull through a dull and uninspired one, a staple ofc. Idk really, never really had anyone asked that question.
who knew being submissive would make me become immortal 😍
Hey :)
I wanted to start your game, but unfortunately I can not start it. I don't find the right file.
I downloaded the files for the PC, I have Windows.
Could you maybe write a tutorial how to start it? That would be really great
Love, Eve
Hey there!
After downloading, open the folder and take a look:
there should be some more folders (which are unimportant) and open one of the three single files called "DATS" (for me, it's the file at the top, but that might differ depending on the sorting function of your pc, the file details should state the correct file is an executable file)
I hope it helps, if not, please let me know!
Ahh, I thank you! I was able to start it! I'll be back some time later for a game review :D
