The Broken Lolipop
This otome style visual novel features only one romance option, which is a clown named Lolipop Lala. This game contains psychological horror elements that may not be suitable for some players, so viewer discretion is advised.
Lala is a sad clown that is widely considered a misfit. While your meeting with her is a chance encounter, it will be a large deciding factor in her fate. With you be the helping hand she needs? Or will you be the final straw that gives her the drive to end her suffering once and for all? It all depends on how you treat her and what you learn about her.
This game has four endings, there are two bad, one neutral, and one good. To get the good ending, you need to learn certain information about Lala to spark a certain conversation with her at the end. Keep in mind that not every "correct" answer is the right choice.
Thank you so much and have a great day! - pickle

I loved the game and i got 3 endings, was that all or are there more?
there are four total endings! two bad, one neutral, and one good! the good ending is a little difficult to get, since it takes giving specific responses. would you like me to tell you which responses you need to give to get it? its three answers during the charades part of the story!
thank you for playing the game as well! i hope you enjoyed it ;;
I would love to know how to get the good end, because i got all except that one
of course! you need get three checks with Lala, which correspond with three dialogue choices during the charades section of the game.
the first one is when Lala is suggesting you play charades with her. you need to select:
"I'm not really good at charades... are you sure I'll even be of help?"
the next option is later on, during the actual game of charades. it'll be the second round, while she's doing the balancing act. you'll need to select the dialogue option:
"Balancing on a ball for a performance."
and the third option is during the third round. Lala is brushing her teeth, but youll need to get the answer wrong again. for this round you'll need to select the option:
"Eating something she had to cut up, like steak or something."
these are the only options that matter when getting the good end as long as your affection isn't completely full or empty!
let me know if you have any more questions! I'm sorry i made it so difficult to get the good end
thank you so much for the video and enjoying my game!! im so glad you liked it
I had tried everything but I just can't get the good ending....could someone give me a hint?
of course!! its a bit difficult, im sorry ;;
there are three conditions that need to be met to get the good end! the first one is when lala is asking you to do charades. if you tell her you arent too good at them, youll meet the first conditon.
next, its during the second charades round, instead of giving the correct answer, you need to guess that shes balancing on a ball.
and the final condition is the third charades round, you need to get the answer wrong and guess that shes cutting something up and eating it!
each condition was supposed to teach you more about lala, but its a bit difficult to get it organically, so i apologize for that ;;
i hope its worth it in the end and you enjoyed the game! thank you for playing!!
Pretty good game looking forward to play more of your games
im so glad you enjoyed it! thank you for playing my game and for the video as well! i really appreciate it!!
I loved the game, the only problem I had was with the music, sometimes it doesn't fit with what is happening, I also reviewed the game files, and why wasn't the Future Lala sprite included? I don't know if you forgot to do it or you didn't want to use it, but it seems to me that it could appear in the good ending, besides that, beautiful game, I loved it
Thank you so much for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and I'll definitely take the feedback into account. I had a bit of an issue finding music that was on theme and fit the situation, so I hope it was overall not too bad. I'll try to take more time in the future on the music and sound design!
I was actually going to include the future Lala sprite in the good end but decided to draw a cg of her instead. If I had included more dialogue in the good end, I would have used the sprite, but in the end, I couldn't come up with any more story that would be meaningful for what had already been told. So I thought it to be better to just include the cg of her in the future without any dialogue!
Again, I'm so very glad you enjoyed it and took the time to comment as well! Thank you for playing my game ;;
Another great game! Good job! I really liked all of the endings, and I got all of them even though I didn't want to get the worst one (morbid curiosity got the best of me). I was trying to get the good ending first, but got the neutral one first instead because I didn't answer one of the charades questions right haha
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I was worried the good ending would be too difficult to figure out how to get, but I'm happy you figured it out! Thank you so so much for playing my game and telling me your thoughts! It means so much to me!
