Hello and thank you for your interest - I'm glad you like the look of the game. Development is going well and I am hoping for a late summer/early autumn release for later this year.
hi it says projected release is 2021 but when you click on more information it says in development, there's a price tag but no option to buy the full game only the demo is available I was wondering when the game will be fully released and available for purchase? I played the demo and I love the story
Apologies for the mix up, I should have updated the projected release. I am currently working on the game in conjunction with Thorns of War and hope to have to released by this summer.
Hi, is this game still in development? On the itch app, an error message pops up when I click "Buy now", even though it's displaying the price of $17.99+
Hello and yes, the game is still in development - I am working on it when I have free time around writing 'The Thorns of War'. I am not sure why the itch app is displaying it for 'buy now', but it is something I can look into.
hello i am wondering when this game will be finished, i do want to buy it but i don't know if you all are finished with making it, it says Projected release date: TBC, does that mean to be continued or something else. also i wondering if this game and The Thorns Of War would be on steam. i still like the plot twist even though it is sad to me. i do also want to buy the thorns of war game to when it is finished.
Hello! I would just like to say, I downloaded the demo for this a few weeks ago, and I absolutely LOVED IT! This game is right up my alley in every way possible - boarding schools, romance, and the plot twist and ghosts? Just- aaaaaaah-
I hope that one day the full game will be released, and then I can spend a few days playing it non-stop. :D
Ah, thank you for your kind feedback - I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the game. It maybe a while to wait but I am hoping to release BFF at the end of next year (it got moved back due to my other game 'The Thorns of War' being successfully kickstarted.)
But I look forward to hearing what you think of the game once it is released. ^_^
I loved the demo, I can't wait to see the full game come to life! I saw through your posts that you and your studio are struggling with financing and that you are considering doing a kickstarter for BFF. If you are making a kickstarter I will definitely support.
Thank you for the feedback - it's always lovely to hear from someone who enjoyed the demo.
Unfortunately the survey is closed now and the other game that was offered (The Thorns of War) was the game that was chosen to be Kickstarted. So BFF will be on hiatus for now until the other game is finished.
Thank you, though, for your offered support - I hope the wait for BFF won't be too long.
I first grabbed this demo because I really loved Heaven's Grave and The Rose of Segunda even though a school settings isn't something I'm usually drawn to. But I didn't expect to become so invested in the story so fast! The characters and their struggles are so well written it draws you in at once.
The twist that came early on took me by surprise, I had no idea despite the games description, and I must say it was all very well done, I rarley get tearyeyed due to games but this game broke me. I feel so bad for the characters but especially poor Melody.
Both Saffron and Melody are amazing characters to play as/ influence and I love them both. Saffron is a really nice protaganist compared to the many blank slates that exists. But I can relate a lot to Melody and her struggles so I guess that's a reason why she is a favourite of mine.
I have only played through the demo once but I am going to go through it again to see more of the options, and the characters. I'm looking forward to the release so I can see the entire story and see a resolve for the girls:D
Hello, Elflady, and thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the demo (well, aside from the tears).
Quite a few people have been surprised at the twist - part of me worries I am not using it to full effect when marketing the game (since so many people seem to be off put by the school setting), but then I worry about spoiling the surprise. ^_^
Well, it should not be long now before you'll be able to see the conclusion to Saffron and Melody's story - I'm aiming to have it out by the end of the year.
okay when i first saw this and read about it, i thought oh okay so this is just a game where you will take in turns of each girl character and help them find love and study, so downloaded and started playing, now i got to that accident part and then find out, omg this is not what i thought this game was going to be, and if i am going to be honest, i did cry, it was really sad and i could feel and see what melody was going through. i am still trying to not cry again but am loving the game so far. when will it be a full game. sorry if i spoiled anything.
Ah, thank you for the feedback - I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far (even with the crying).
Yes, I was hoping the aftermath of the accident would surprise people, and I don't think you've spoiled anything here - the accident is mentioned in the game description, after all. ^_^
I am hoping to have the game released this October/November time, so not long now.
> Lol, perhaps I should make an alternative game where Saffron 'misses' the accident and it's just the girls and boys at school. (I was joking, but I wonder if I shouldn't now... >_>
As soon as I saw this, I went YES!
The accident was indeed a plot twist, and what came after it is interesting on itws own, but I can't help but wonder: what it would be like if it never happened? (I was really looking forward to getting to know Susan and wondering why you can't romance Malody, and then... yeah.)
It would be a different genre altogether, but I'd like to see that happen too.
I'm not completely done with the demo yet (and I'm immensely enjoying it so far!), but my head is swarmed with what-if's and I can't help it.
I know it would be a whole another game and would take time on its own, but I see so many amazing things that can happen this way...
Ah, sorry, I got carried away a bit. I'm rooting for this game so much, can't wait to get my hands on the full version!
As I understand, you'll become more concentrated on it once you finish Heaven's Grave, right?
As soon as I had the idea of the 'sequel' I couldn't stop thinking about the direction I would like to take it. But, that said, I should probably finish the first game before I even consider anything more. ^_^
I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to it and, yes, it will become my main focus after Heaven' Grave is released in a few weeks.
I should begin updating the devlog again in August for a more up-to-date look at the progress. ^_^
I made an account just to give my support and review! I don't know when I played the demo but it was a year or two ago, I think. I was instantly hooked to the storyline and played without stopping until I realized I downloaded a demo... (YES I DIDN'T REALIZE SORRY FOR MY FOOLISH MIND HAHAHA) But then I realized the full version would be pay to play. And honestly, I didn't have money then but I vowed that once the full version came out I would pay for it! Now, it 's still in developing and I have earned myself my own money >_< AND I WILL STILL BE PAYING FOR THE FULL VERSION TO PLAY!! I can't wait for the full version ohmegerd! I just love the concept of being able to control two characters at one! I feel like a good sister choosing the right choice for Melody lolol. The art is beautiful, the storyline is immersive, and the characters are likable and relatable. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!! I'm just wondering is there a platform other than here for me to follow on your updates? I really want to purchase your game as soon as you've completed it to perfection... >_< I'm even re-downloading the demo just so I can play what I can once more! Keep up to good work and thank you for your efforts!!!!
Thank you for making an account to leave feedback - I appreciate everyone who takes the time to let me know what they think of the demo.
And your story about realising it was a demo and then earning the money made me laugh - it really has been too long since I began this game! ^_^
I'm glad you like the art and story elements and, to be honest, I'm really looking forward to working on the game again, too. Writing about the girls' daily lives at school makes me so nostalgic, lol.
I post my most regular updates here on itch, so though I have a Facebook and tumblr accounts, if you are following me here, I doubt you will miss anything.
Anyway, as I mentioned in a previous post, I plan to begin working on BFF again this August with a planned release in October, so expect lots more devlogs detailing our progress once August arrives.
Oh then it won’t be a long wait then! Time flies past these days haha! I just finished playing the demo again and fell in love with it all over again~~ I cant wait for August to come and look forward to playing the full version once it’s finished! All the best and great job so far!! ( ¯꒳¯ )ｂ✧

Hello, kindgem, and thank you for your interest.
Yes, BFF will be finished (TBC means To Be Confirmed) - I will start work on the game again once Thorns of War is finished.
And, yes, both Thorns of War and BFF will be on Steam once they are finished. ^_^
Many thanks for playing
