Why're you taking calculus? I don't know, calculus is pretty hard. But it's okay, just ask him to help you. He's been your friend for a while after all!! He sounds rude, but don't worry that's just cause he's sleepy<3

Just be sure to try and communicate properly with each other, okay? I would hate for you guys to argue.

Too cute! I wish there was a lot more! I got the good ending... probably, but I want to have so much more of that stupid little dumdum big smart calculus man

He's a math major for a reason >:D 

I almost started crying because of the bad ending, I love Reed so much and his voice actor did an amazing job <3 and omg the art style is so freaking cute I love it. I'm so glad I saw this game on twitter<3

Hello, helloooo~~

I made an account to comment here hihi. FIRST OF ALL, WOW!!!! SECOND OF ALL, I LOVE IT!!! Everything about the game is so freaking amazing! I got the good ending in my first play (I've yet to play it again to get the bad one) and it was super cute. The way Reed was confessing got me all warm and cozy because it was really sweet!!! The VA's voice is so soothing, I really loved hearing him talk. Anyway, this game is rated 100/10 for meee!! I truly loved it!!


ALSOOOOO, BOTH THE VA AND CREATOR ARE FILIPINOS?!! I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN I HEARD THE VA SAY "NAKAKAPAGPABAGABAG" IN THE VOICE VOLUME AND WHEN I READ THE ABOUT SECTION FROM RICE!!! AAAAAH!! FILIPINOS RISEEEE!!!! 


EDIT: OMG??? THE OUTTAKES FOLDER LMAO. THE IMPROVS!!!! THEY'RE TOO FUNNNYY!!

WOAH YOU MADE AN ACC JUST TO COMMENT???? IM HONOURED OP

(+1)

anybody has the guide to the good ending? I wanna obtain it by myself so i can get the full experience ;w;

Hi op!! A bit late mbmb but I'm releasing a guide for both endings after WMUIYNM's update<3

Buuut as of now, I won't be making a guide yet cause there are small things I'm changing or adding in the game

Omg in the pref's for voice volume test, the word was nakakapagpabagabag which is Filipino!! (I'm Filipino) I'm kicking and screaming, pulling up google at my bed for this game. Btw my new motivation for school~

Okkkkkkkk, sooooo... Here's the thing -- storytime!
I randomly downloaded this game bcuz I needed more vns to play (I finished playing this in the middle of the night, coincidence?????) and look...

I legit CRYING after getting two endings! I don't know if that was just me being emotional or whatever, but I cried!

Soooo yeahhh. I really love this game huhu, and the VA is really good too, it made me happy a bit after I cried.

10/10 game :))

im having a problem with trying to play it.. im playing using window and when im like 5 secs in the game, it keep kicking me out from the game :((( anyway to fix it?? "((

Hey op! First, woaaaaah that’s mega weird huh. Never heard of that happening before. Second, does your pc detect the game as a virus or smth?


I’m not too knowledgeable since I use a mac and not windows, but thanks for bringing this to my attention! Sorry if I can’t help as much tho

Fue verdaderamente lindo. me diverti mucho, un genial juego. Gracias!!!

(-2)

Hey, congrats on the game! Looks cool.

My team and I are currently working on a volunteer project for Pride Month and I think your game would be a great candidate. In short, we want to translate a queer game for free to give visibility to LGBT gaming. Would you be interested? 

Please message me on Twitter @Liar_is_fire, or by email at caroline.tsakanias@gmail.com so I can give you more info! We’re closing applications in a few days so make sure you don’t miss it :)

AMAZING yeehaa/10 more

(delulu)

HAHAHASHSHDGDGS NCT I CANT HAHAAHSHSGDHD SO REAL

Hey I really like the look of this game but I'm having some trouble because the game can,t find the fonts. has anyone experienced this/does anyone know a way to fix it?

The fonts are in the game's folder tho? Do you use mac or windows?

I use a windows! I'm not quite sure what happened tho, I looked through the file and I saw that the font name was changed from what the code was calling upon. I'm really not sure whats happening tho T^T

Oh huh that’s weird. I haven’t changed the files or anything in the zip file.


I’m not sure as to what the game plan should be atp, since I use a mac and not windows. Can you show a screenshot of the files and the line of code op (if it isn’t too much trouble)? 

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

they made a whole game from that one line in the halo 3 ending

(+1)

Wait is it actually????

AHHH THIS IS SUCH A GOOD GAME!!! I THOUGHT THIS WAS A CUTE GAME WHY GIVE ME THE BAD ENDING FIRST?! (seriously though, I got scared when someone started singing 'call me maybe')

Will You Release This Game on Android?

(+1)

No, unfortunately. The reason why is because making an android version could take a while, and I'm busy with university and other stuff. Sorry op!

(-2)

So, when will you release this game to Android? Your game is very wonderful, really nice. I would like this game to be released to Android. I will play it.

Try JoiPlay? I've never used it myself, but hear it's reliable.

No, I have never tried it, I have not used it. What is JoiPlay? What does it mean? Any Application Name This is

Yes, it's an Android application that lets you run RPGMaker and Ren'Py games on your phone. Since this game is made with Ren'Py, it should work.

(+2)

NOOOO THIS WAS SO FUN.... the way I cried for like 10 mins straight while playing both endings of the game was practically insane. I got the good end first and I was practically sobbing and I decided to play the bad end and I just HNNNGGGG I love this game so much, good work!

I really would want to play this game sadly it doesn't have the android version (;TДT)

(+1)

Got the bad ending twice (: Oh, it hurts so bad. My first playthrough of a romance game, I always choose options I would do in real life to see what ending I would get. So it always feels like I'm the one experiencing these things the first time around and to get the bad ending hurts just a wee bit :')

Great game, I had a blast playing and I love Reed. It is 2am, so I will have to leave trying again for the good ending for tomorrow morning. Nighty night <3

YOU CAN DO IT GAMER I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!

I made a profile just to leave a comment here-

This game got me bawling my eyes out at midnight. It's so precious, you did such a good job 😭 The story is written so well, and i loved the voice acting too! 

Also thank god i got the good ending 1st cuz if i were to have gotten the bad ending while crying all the liquids left inside my body i would have died inside so badly 💀.

AAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Thank god you got the good ending first LMAO
