Thank you so much <3 Wish you the best.

That's the best dream I can ever think of. The human history has been through countless civil war: race discrimimation, gender equality and now sexual equality. We can't choose the place we are born but we can choose the way we make an impact. Game is tough but players are tougher :)))) And thanks to wholesome games and people I have met, I realize I'm not alone. Even you are in the old society but you still manage to survive and thrive, I believe can do it too. 

I'm so glad to know that you read my story so no need to feel sorry about that 😙 In my darkest days at highschool, I had to deal with my parents, lovers, friends and studying at the same time all by myself, which was way too much for a teenager. Parents checked all my messages without my consent and threatened my boyfriend and me, my boyfriends ditched me 3 times, friends at school verbally harrassed my sexuality (I realize I have that internalized homophobia too) At least, I have been through the worst situation so what could be worse :)))?

 I can completely sympathize to your situation when being gay was treated as a sin. In Asia, people are still judgemental about this subject so coming out is always a long story. I even have to make a plan for this :)))) and the worst scenerio might be me being kicked out of my own family 😔

Thank you so much. The same to you.

Wow. I keep coming back here for players' real-life experiences. I'm glad that you finally confront your inner fear and live the life you want. That's my fight too. Btw, I'm not in the development team but you can reach Aaryn - the developer via Twitter for instant reply. 

😊😊

Yeah at least a wholesome community may help :))) What your team is doing is so inspirational. Best wishes to all of you guys and hope for more people will get to know about this amazing game and its masterminds :)))) 

I agree. It takes time to gradually overcome those issues as he has been haunted by them for the whole time. Most of my logical friends seem to have the same problems of trying to explain everything. Love or sentiment in general is somehow more than that, which is hard to explain just by using logic. 

Seriously, you can hold a fanclub and I would love to be a big fan of you guys and this story.

Love this bonding moment here :)))

As long as you guys are still working on new chapters :)))) This game is a good self-help reference.  

I'm just glad to hear that you are doing ok now. We all have the part of Zach inside where we collect all the thoughts and start digging around. Sometimes we make things even more complicated than they truly are. For me, having someone to talk to is a great way as they are your anchor whenever you are submerged in the train of thought. I'm trying to think simple and listen to my inner feelings more so I can help myself even when there's no one beside. By the way, I'm just 21 but I have to think twice more than others being at the same age. Thanks for sharing your story even you don't know me. That means a lot to me.

Wow. I feel so sorry for your experience. Is everything alright now? 

For the family part, my parents made me think of suicide as they knew about my relationship in highschool. I struggled to discover myself and confront my family at the same time. I had no one to ask for help or talk to. I completely feel you bro. 

I think, we don't have the right to choose where we are born but we do have the right to choose the way we live. Maybe it's not an easy path to walk through but we still survive and become who we are today. At least, we can be sympathetic to others and even our own children if one day they come out of the closet. (Trust me I really want to have kids around 👨‍👧‍👦 ) Now, being about to graduate from college as a teacher, I am trying my best to help my students having problem discovering their sexuality. We can't change the past but we can make an impact for a better future. 

For all the things we have been through, we all deserve a Zach or Braden in our life.

I spent 6 hours straight playing this game yesterday and now I'm at chapter 3. I create this account just to give some comment. 

This game hit me so hard on the story plot. So far, I love how all characters are portraited as unique but still relatable types of people when facing sexuality-related issues.  I find parts of me in every character here: denial in Braden, confusion in Zach and confidence when solving others' problems in Mikhail. I am so surprised to see how character development is so well-built here unlike the majority of NSFW game filled with pornographic stuff. Can't wait to see how far this story goes. Great job. 

Update: I have just finished the lastest chapter. I must say I taste my own tears this time. I love every single bonding moment here, not just the stuff between Zach and Braden. The hidden messages behind every twist are so relatable and meaningful to me as a teacher craving for inspirational stories. I used to be the golden child so I know the burden when being highly expected by my family. I used to be labelled, discriminated and made fun of at highschool. I used to be afraid of myself and hate myself for being who I was. I can all feel that just in a chapter itself. It's not that easy to overcome these but thanks to my priceless friends, I embrace my value and love myself in a more proper way. I am looking forward to observing how far these wholesome dudes will reach. I'm a big fan of you now.
