How does you game fit the theme?
It's Generally Pleasant Outlook Hour down at the ambiguous beverage establishment (your favorite one!) and you've been invited out by your immediate social group for a round of drinks. You're all primed for a good evening, except--
You're the only one there without a date.
Naturally, you do the most sensible thing and lie about having a long-distance girlfriend in Canada, who's totally real and super spicy. Now all you've gotta do is keep up the facade for the rest of the night...
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes.

I like the story and humor conversation and especially the character design. The dialogue is lively and makes the girlfriend become more real as the conversation further developed.

Real the heroI really really loved this game! I laughed quite a lot whilst playing it and I had fun lying to my friends about my fake girlfriend in Canada! One little issue I encountered, was the fact, that when I opened the options menu the main menu was still visible, but i think that should be easy to fix ;) Keep up the good work! I would love to see more of you in the future!

Little WizardAdorable game. I may not have a girlfriend in Canada but I have played this game and that's just snail-y enough for me. I like the unique character designs.

ImaginosiaAll I know is my girlfriend is totally real and slimy.
This was great! A unique take on the theme, but totally applicable.
Dialogue had me laughing. Definitely coming back for a replay so I can see some of the other dialogue.

Lost Dreams [Demo]Love the take on the Choose Your Own adventure stylewriting. What did you use to manage all of that dialogue??? I have to know... I would love to do something like this in the future.

The MagicianWell, I'm not a person that likes these kinds of visual novels, but this one is well executed. You have managed to make great art and a fun twist on the theme. The audio got too repetitive too quickly.
The background of the text panel is too transparent and the text is too bright which makes it more tiring to read.
Overall a good game.

What Peeks in the DarkWhat a cute and funny little game. Nice story and some good jokes. Very interesting take on the theme. The length is just right. The only thing i would critique is the music, wich was a bit annoying for my taste.
Very nice!
