This was so cute! I loved it. It was short, and I wish I could explore this story more, but with the time constraint of 1 month I totally get it. I love the character development, Alex getting more confident, Zaina becoming more secure in her friendships, I haven't had time to run the other routes yet as it is currently half past midnight on a weekday, but I want to see how to other characters grow and progress. This was amazing.
I love all their unique pasts and personalities- But the person below me isn't wrong... The story does quite end abruptly, so much more could have been done. And I'm going to assume that the other li's catch feelings just as quickly, which is kind of a throw off-
The art styles are nice- but with how they don't match the same style as the characters you see throughout the story, that also throws me off.
This is pretty good nonetheless, something that was made within a month.
It was okay but ended very abruptly in my opinion. There was not much focus on building the scene in the story and not too many details. The characters, sort of fall in love really quickly without much effort. Its a good game if you're just starting to play visual novels but if you're looking into well constructed stories that just draw you in, this game feels lacking.
super cute game, i have only done one route, paxton, gotta love dude's with long hair and work at a cafe? he is really sweet and everything, I will do the others later but lovely game, super short and sweet.
First, Finn: OMG that s*** was f****ing deep. As someone who's been where he was, like to a T... except I'm more punk princess than goth..., I admired how he was straightforward about what he's been through and how he's feeling I also like how he manages to find someone even though he still feels that way. I appreciated how he wasn't suddenly and magically healed just because he found someone... but instead was given hope and some strength. Thank you for writing him this way...
Second, Paxton... Magic gooey goodness with a sprinkling of so f****ing CUTE!!! That is how I would describe his path... can someone just like make him? Just hypothetically? In a lab? Preprogrammed to love me? No? Okay... Kidding, but seriously Cute... with a capital everything. Latte foam heart... I mean c'mon.
Third, Zaina. Yes, just yes. I love everything about this sassy little spitfire. I love how she learns better coping-skills than withdrawing when things get rough. I love how she shows her love to her friends... "You idiot." As someone who tends to call friends and loved one's anything from a**hole to zatch (female genitalia) as a joke/ when they worry me. I identify with her in this way.
I already said this on the poll, but I might as well say it here.
The plot is intriguing, feels original, and the characters aren’t the cookie cutter Dating Sim/Visual Novel love interest stereotypes I thought they’d be. I’m not a fan of Paxton’s design—it’s big titty gf or goth bf for me—so I never did his route.
I kind of would’ve loved a polyamorous Zaina/Alex/Finn ending. They feel like the most natural relationship. I say this a lot when I play this type of games, but sometimes there’s a couple/route that feels Official™ and in this case that’s them. I see some of myself in each of them, which was nice, too.
Also, I love how Finn is bisexual. Usually, there’s a kind of biphobia/insecurity over having a male LI be bisexual in a way that’s not a fetish of ooh boys kissing for my viewing pleasure when it’s a girl-protagonist VN. I was pleasantly surprised he casually mentions an ex-boyfriend in his route. It was nice. I would’ve liked Alex’s own bisexuality to be more on the spotlight—Zaina is her first time realising she’s also attracted to women, after all—but the game is short and I get there wasn’t time.
Hello! When ever I buy games I always try to give money for it (even if it's free). I wasn't able to find any link for donating/ko-fi, is there a way a can support?

Nice game!

When your own name is Zaina , and there is a route with that name o.o
I only did one route and the route was Finn's. I shipped Alex with him when they first spoke to each other. Master shipper, that's me. >:3
This game is really good, i did all three routes and they are all great but i absolutely loved Finn's.
I just finished Zaina's route. I really enojeyed it. Great game.
As a Nursing student, this piqued my interest, hoping to also experience the romances TT TT
Nice Game :3 Liked Zaina's route <3
All routes are nice but only finished Zaina's route tho.

Thank you for your offer! Because this project specifically was made by a group of volunteers for a game jam, we've disabled donations on it.
