I just finished playing the demo and I had to tell you guys that I really liked it! Really, all the pieces are in place for this to be a great visual novel, from the crisp design of the characters, to the fact that you have your own choice of protagonist. Even with the choice, I admit I fully expected I would go/do the same thing with the love interest, so imagine my surprise when I went to see a movie with Adrian as Jace and shopping with him as Hazel. I can already see a lot of work went into this and I absolutely love it.
That being said, one has to have a favorite, so I shall come forth and proclaim my love for Adrian(/Jace.) You guys did a legit job with those questions at the beginning, the game threw the boy my way first thing lol. Funny thing, I'm actually not that into the childhood friend trope but this is good stuff. From the fact that Adrian rarely smiles so Jace has to drag them out of him (so when he does smile, it's that much sweeter), to the fact that Adrian seems to be so in tune with Jace. They already have a strong bond and you can feel it through the writing, chef's kiss man. I just keep thinking about this poor boi having to wait as I pull my head out of my ass and realise that yes I am in fact in love with my childhood friend. It has been said that Jace ran away when a guy hit on him, the drama, the freak out, maybe Jace trying to avoid Adrian as he ''thinks things through'' (aka he's an embarassed big baby) ah yes i can already see it and I'm here for it lol.
From Hazel's side, I'm really interested in Stephanie. On top of her actually being a cinnamon roll, I think both girls compliment each other nicely.
I didn't mean for this to get so long, good luck and I can't wait until the full version is released!
No worries! We love to get long comments like this and appreciate the feedback a lot :) Also Jace’s writer is really happy you’re excited for Adrian x Jace’s route and Hazel’s writer is happy you’re interested in seeing more of her with Stephanie!
Hello! Just played through the demo a bit and while I don't know if I can afford supporting the KickStarter, I'd like to try it out when it's out. The graphics and bantering between characters have been entertaining.
There's one thing I'm curious about: considering your dev team is based in Germany according to the KS profile, will you make a German version of the game as well, or will it be English only? (Hatte Deutschlektionen vor ein paar Jahren, aber seitdem nicht genug geübt und möchte gerne durch VN'n uzw. kompensieren, haha)
Danke für deinen Kommentar! No worries, we understand these are rough times and just little things like sharing us around social media or even commenting on our demo as you have is already great support and very appreciated! :)
The team is technically based in Germany and Sweden. We don’t have a ”physical studio” yet (never say never though for the future), but that’s where our two main creators are based. Unfortunately, I’m the Swedish one so my German is very basic level haha. At the moment, we don’t have any plans to translate this visual novel into German due to budget/time constraints but we’ll definitely consider it for future games!
Thank you for the kind comment! We're very happy to hear you enjoyed the chance to play as both protagonists and we're especially glad you enjoyed the Jace x Zoe route. We hope you'll enjoy them, and the others too, when the full game is released!
This was so much fun! I really love how this game took into consideration the differences between Hazel and Jace, and incorporated them when dealing with the same set of LIs—I don't see that a lot, and it's always something I wish to see more of in games.
I went in thinking Adrian and Hazel would be my favorite pair (soft, stoic boys and "mature" perfectionists are my favorite type of characters, and being able to pair them is a dream come true), but came out with Zoe and Jace being my favorite instead, haha I'm sorry, Adrian and Hazel—you still placed second, if it's any reconciliation. Normally I wouldn't go for a pair that's really similar to each other in personality, but Jace and Zoe fed off each other so well, I felt energized by them and wanted to join them on their outing. Their interactions were a delight to read, and I was able to feel how comfortable they were around each other—no inhibitions or the like, unlike some of the other pairings (which wasn't a bad thing! It was just refreshing to see such an open pair). There was also enough key differences between the two that made them feel like they weren't the same person, and, just, I'm really excited to see where you guys go from here! (Jace's and Zoe's gift for Hazel was also really sweet, and had me cackling. Also, I have to ask, is that a Taurus on Zoe's collarbone? 👀)
I wish you guys the best of luck in the kickstarter! Here's hoping the game comes to full fruition!
Thank you for playing our demo! We're excited to write two protagonists that have unique characteristics and interests. We're happy you enjoyed Zoe and Jace so much (and Adrian x Hazel, even though they won second place for now haha)!
Also, Zoe is actually an Aquarius! One half of the tattoo is slightly hidden by her jacket, but it's meant to represent that constellation :)
Ty so much for wanting to help us! :) There will be an option to pledge through Paypal, but we’ll only open it if/when we reach the main goal. Basically, any Paypal pledges we get would go towards the stretch goals!
Is this the final version of the sprite? Plz say yes I loveeeee this, way more than the tittle style...
I love "choose your protagonist" kind of game, and even more when I could date both gender each protag! Woah~ It's really hard to find such game in VN though... And I love both of your protagonist!ANDDDDDD I love it when each protag have different scene and all, it really worth to replay as other protag (honestly, I wanna play both everytime but what the point when the story completely the same?). Can't wait!~
We’re glad you enjoyed the demo and our protagonists! The sprites will be the same style, except they will have shading, more expressions and more outfits/poses in the final game if everything goes according to plan. The title style will only be used for CGs.
I just played the demo, and I must say, this is really good! One of the points which got me interested was that Jace and Hazel have different reactions to the same LI, and the writing was great too! I laughed on an bunch of ocasions and seeing the interactions was very entertaining, I am very much looking foward to the final game!
Thank you! We're finalising a few things, but we'll be posting more details about the other characters and officially announcing the game within the next day or so.

OK, that's understandable; thanks for the swift reply, and good luck with the project(s)!
(Och vilket sammanträffande, jag är också svenne!)
Haha, vad kul! And thank you very much!

We’re still not decided about Steam, but a couple of people have expressed interest in it so we’re definitely considering it! :)
Wowowowowow. Everything in the demo so far 10/10. Yowza! If this is the demo, then I am quite excited to see what the finished product will look like.
Thank you! We're glad you liked the demo!
