A charming story with a light splash of drama ~ Warren is my favorite. I thought his character was so well written and complex. Love to see it. ♥ I enjoyed playing and am looking forward to seeing the full release! Keep up the good work ~ ^_^

Congrats, you've got me counting down until May! 😆💛Beautiful demo, hilarious and endearing, and I'm so jazzed for the full game (also I cannot pick between the guys, ughhh love them both already)

These boys.

These are some good boys. I'll take both.

Seriously, though, the demo left me intrigued and wanting more! I love Warren's awkward bluntness and Mack's subtle affirmations of Addie's tics, and it's going to be really difficult to choose between them!

And I knew that it was a vain hope to expect Addie's mysterious secret to be revealed in the demo, but now I'm going to be speculating and theorizing until the full release!

That's high praise for a fine connoisseur of men. Thanks for the kind words Bri, I'm also in love with both boys and hope you enjoy the reveal when it comes out!! <3

I am SO intrigued by this demo! By the end, I still couldn't decide if I thought Addie's secret was something supernatural or not. I'm very much looking forward to finding out in the full game!

The writing was great and all the characters were extremely endearing. I was expecting Warren to be a lot colder for a lot longer than he was, but I nearly died when he smiled 😭. I also really loved when Addie described their basket balancing and Mack immediately went with it. It was extremely sweet. I'm gonna have a hard time choosing between them.

I'm not sure if it's intentional, but I got the feeling Addie has OCD or something similar. My theory is that has something to do with what they're hiding...

Anyway, here's some fanart! The designs are so my type, it's crazy.

Still love this fanart Milo, omg bless your heart. We're glad you clocked the little details about each respective love interest, and that yall enjoyed the game. We're working hard on the full game so you'll find out more about Addie when the time comes >:3c

I love this so far!! The art’s really cute, the dialogue is well-written, and every character is super endearing (I can’t choose who I like more xd). And even if we don’t know their secret yet, I feel like I can definitely relate to Addison… so I literally can’t wait to play the full game! Great job!

Thank you! We're happy you enjoyed the game, and hope you look forward to the reveal in the full game hehe

Can we date the Greek God??

Great Visual Novel Game! It’s very well written. I like all the characters, I’m wondering what the secret of the main character will end up being! The art is also great as well! Overall, the demo is very cute, flirty and fun! Looking forward to the full release!

Hey thanks for playing our game! I loved watching your playthrough and seeing your reactions. You'll have to wait just a bit longer to find out Addie's secret but I'm glad the demo was fun for you!

HELLO THIS DEMO HAD NO RIGHT TO END ON SUCH A CLIFFHANGER AAAAHHHHHHH

This demo was A-DO-RA-BLE, despite starting with a CG which is actually NOT adorable loool

I think a huge highlight is the cast. Call me shallow, but I appreciated how PRETTY everyone was (I promise I'll talk about the writing), but geez, Ladymeowsith's artstyle is always so pretty dffdf; the character design was great too!! I do love Addison's round and adorable face, it really makes them approachable (in both their masculine and feminine-presenting designs), the love interests (Warren and Mack) were gorgeous, Micah is a smol boy I want to carry and Isaias is SO PRETTY DFVFGBF (give me a blond and I'm out there loool); the BG art was very neat too, and I really loved how pretty the GUI was! I also think the way the music was used in this game was very effective and natural, especially when it comes to setting the mood of the scenes.

The story so far is so interesting!!! I did love the character-writing! Addison is a very positive protag, that they had wholesome interactions with everyone, the friendly banter between Warren and Isaias was very neat at it helped deconstructing his "intimidating" character, and Warren's interactions with Micah kind of gave him interesting volumes and layers as a character. I also adored spending time with Mack, he is so chill and was a nice, comforting contrast to Addison (to whom I could relate lol, I'm also obnoxious when it comes to being on-time, I'm never late loool).

Now, I'll give some more spoilery feedback, so beware reader, and play the cute demo with handsome boys before reading it, this game will make your heart fluffy.


If I appreciated how positive Addison was, the game makes something clear: this is a façade of perfection, an act they perform to get people to like them. However, something grimmer is happening behind the scene, and I kinda suspect it to be supernatural?? Something the game highlighted well and even showed thanks to Micah, Warren and Mack is that everyone loves Addie: even our frightening not-boss is jealous of our co-worker because he wants to spend time with us, when we only spend one meeting together! So I wonder if Addie's secret isn't about something that makes people love them, and that they need, to prove themself worthy of this love they receive, to be act as perfectly as possible. So, this is my theory/guess so far lol, but I'm excited to find out what the final answer will be!

Congrats on releasing this great demo and for making it under a month!! I had a lot of fun playing it, and I am looking forward to the rest!!!

P.-S.: please please tell me Isaias is the secret love interest, he's a Greek God I swear he is so pretty oh my god

EDIT: remembered the tweet mentioning Isais isn't datable... micah is great don't get me wrong but now I'll be MOURNING

Hiiii Chim, thank you so much for playing our game and leaving such a thought-out review! I loved reading your analysis of the game and thoughts of the characters. We had a feeling Isaias would be super popular but alas, add him to the list of beautiful side characters. :')

Your comment did tempt us HAHA I also love hearing about your theory crafting of Addie's secret hehe I can not confirm or deny anything...

Saranghae Mack!

It's super late, but I got a notification and just had to comment to say that Mackenzie is already my favorite just by the character art. Honestly all the characters look really cool!

Thanks! We're glad you like his character design, and hope you enjoy the game so far ^^ The game demo has been updated and we highly encourage you to play the new version!
