Louie is a cool boy from your school who is mysterious and cold. He likes the music and reading.

SPOILERS AND PERSONAL OPINION

You, the protagonist, decided to confess to Louie. Coincidentally, he wanted to attend a concert that evening. So, he invited you along. From there, your interactions will determine which 3 of his ending you will get.

Should you fail to gain his interest, he will end the date after the concert. This is the best ending to me, as you get to walk home safe and sound.

If you gain his interest, he will invite you to his house to hang out longer. He will then drug you through a cup of tea he serves, then lock you up in a tiny metal cage meant for dogs. In the ending where he likes you, he decides to keep you locked in the cage forever so that you will be his. If not, he will torture you through means like pouring boiling water on you and strangling you.

I did not find Louie endearing. To me, he was just some dude who listens to music and attends concerts and reads sometimes and that’s it. There’s a bit of mention about him taking care of stray cats, which would have made me like him more. But this aspect was quickly brought up in the intro and never again.

After that, all I see was Louie listening to music, talking about music, and wanting to go home to more music and CDs. Then after that, it was him going crazy with locking the protagonist up and cue all his psychotic actions.

I see almost no development of romance, and felt that his yandere act was more out of his violent nature than love. His supposed liking for you came way too abruptly that I found it hard to believe. For me, yando moments must have a good dose of affection and love thrown in. So this was definitely not my cup of tea.

Nevertheless, Louie did proclaim his love for you and his desire to keep you as his. So I shall reluctantly label him as a yandere. Still, I did not enjoy his route.
