Parquet is a Japanese-style visual novel produced by Yuzusoft Sour, a Japanese developer of romance VNs. In the near future, a technology called Brain-Machine Interface connects the brain and machines. This technology brings about a new paradigm and opens the gates to the digitization of human memory itself. From these new discoveries, "he" is born. An illegal experiment mixes thousands of memories into a single vessel, creating a wholly new being. Having only the memories of others, doubts about who he truly is start arising in his mind, until he gathers the courage to go out into the world in search of his true self. As he steps into the real world, he meets two girls, Kido Tsubasa and Ibaraki Rino. Both kind souls whose lives have been touched by unscrupulous BMI experiments, just like him. Learning to live together with their secrets, "he" and "they" will bring about big changes... Key points: - Yuzusoft's first-ever original All-Ages game - Curious living together experience with girls between day and night - An intriguing mystery that unfolds itself as the story advances

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LOOPERS at 5.0 against PARQUET's 4.6. LOOPERS also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). PARQUET's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and review sentiment (87% vs 77%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LOOPERS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PARQUET sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LOOPERS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PARQUET has 36 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of LOOPERS's written reviews are positive against 87% of PARQUET's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
