Just shuffling over here again to thank you for writing this story and making this game. I feel like the biphobia has gotten even worse in recent years? It makes me happy and gives a me a small piece of my mind back to see creative endeavors that are pushing for bisexuality and the people who are bi to have the respect, love and care they deserve 💕

Gonna be STRANGE and compare this to the act of eating but please stay with me: Warm the Sun is the juicy, perfect peach that's caught my eye and I love peaches and I could go for a snack right now so I bite into it. It's juicy as hell, and sweet, and makes me fully appreciate the bright sun beating down on my head, and I have to take another bite of this damn peach before I've finished chewing what's in my mouth because everything about the moment is calm and perfect. 😂🤎

You have created something golden, and after getting 2 of the endings I think that you have to offer us so far, I am starving for another update. Cannot wait to see what else you have in store 👌🏽

The way the words to reply to this absolutely glowing and heartfelt review are NOT COMING!!!  Not the way I want them too LOL 🥹 I'll share a secret: this game was never intended to be a shortie and I always thought I'd add more at a later time. I still want to, but as it stands? I'm very proud of the way it's been able to resonate with players. 

I very much am the kind of person who likes to stuff her soul into her creative projects, hoping connect with and to hold a space for people to take what they need (or want) in the way that creative projects from others do the same for me. So thank you for taking the time to not only play this little project but also to share with me how it made you feel 🤎😁

MY LORD THIS DEMO WAS GOOD but the stress I was feeling?!?! Very grateful this game exists and looking forward to the person I'll be when we get the full game 🥹

YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS (lol I thought I'd commented already, fixing that now)

The laptop screensaver gives me absolute life 💕(I wish I could live in this world asfskfjsk) cannot WAIT to see what else is in store for us!

...also whoever is reading this you, should play this demo and then go play Herotome's super demo and only then will the mysteries of the universe finally be discovered.

Thank you for playing!!! And Zakiya's design is my absolute favorite, I'm so grateful to my sprite artist for bringing her to life 🤧💛

No worries! I think what you did fixed it, thanks so much!

Hi! Hopefully this message where get where I want it to go:  I've joined the girly game jam server but unfortunately I'm having issues reacting to messages in the "INFO" section and being able to interact in the server. Any advice for or info on what to do?

OMG yay!!!

Thanks for playing 20!! Legit can't decide myself between Govind and Zakiya myself so I'm thrilled that both are adored! And yes....so many things change in your late 20s yet so many feelings seem to be the same??

I'm charmed by your cast of characters so far, but Elliot truly takes the cake and I wouldn't turn down more of him 😂👌🏽

I find myself drawn sometimes to games with slow starts and an under current of something ominous and paired with how relatable I find Gale (nope, don't wanna talk about it LOL) makes for an intriguing demo!

Had a fun time with the demo content! I love having the chance to follow an MC who ice skates! And Taliyah’s design is stunning!!

Rushed scenario did the job of capturing my interest and the art is quite yummy! Looking forward to future updates!

*Pass the (sweet) yuri* 😂🫶🏽

As a fellow library worker + book club enthusiast, I am JAZZED to find a cozy game like this one

Thank you!!! 😁🫶🏽

MY GOD THIS WAS PERFECT?!?!?! The Gift of the Magi is legit one of my favorite tales so imagine my surprise while reading this out to my sibling as I played and losing my ever loving shit???? Y'all did such justice to Corey and Jacob and I adore them so damn much in this art style?? Thank you thank you thank you thank youuuuuu 🥹

I would have responded so much sooner but your comment was flagged for some reason?? Thanks for checking out this demo and loving Ryan as much as I do LOL 😂🫶🏽

This has no business being so cute OMG

Holiday card from the RiO crew??? 👀😂🫶🏽 (it's so perfect LOL)

😭💛 OMG I'm happy to hear your enjoyed Crushed & Loved, thank you sm!!! And noted, I'll put together a mini guide and post that sometime! 

 (I'll also keep a walkthrough in mind for HSD:JY 2 👀✍🏽)

Hi friend! Either way, MC does get kicked off the team, it's inevitable😅 that said, if you're trying to make team captain by the semester end, that's very possible! You basically need to pick choices that involve the team, weightlifting, or being a team player. 

I didn't create a guide for this game, but if it's something you're interested in, lmk! There aren't really "bad" ends in this game, and your grades/captain status/ who you date or don't influence dialogue and events in the sequel as well 👀

Saw this on Bluesky first, and I'm both surprised and geeked Nerd won too LOL 💗

Yessss! Thanks for reading 💃🏽

LOL! Yeah, this dynamic is basically like crack to me.  And this game may or may not have as many endings as it does because I needed an excuse to use all of them 😂

Haven't been having the best time either so sending lots of big virtual hugs your way 💗 and sending my excitement as well for this new project!!! You know I love the OW gang always (and quickly falling for the WtDSR peeps too)

Amarak my beloved 🥰

All my love to the team, this was so fun! (And the in-game hint was a MUCH appreciated feature 😆🤎)

Thanks so much 💛

Thanks 🥳 Enjoy!!

YAY, official congrats on the release!!! 🎉

Okay, being that this was a submission to the Noise Jam, I really like what was done with the sound design! But being the visual goober that I am, I just need you to understand how stunning Harper and Cherry's designs are?? Very pleasing to the eyes. Overall, a really fun and cute entry with more witches in this in-game universe!

🤗 I'm so happy to hear y'all had fun discussions thanks to the game!! If you're interested, I hope you'll check Loved too, which is Jacob's story!

Coming down to the comment section to add my 2 cents and geek out a little (or is it a lot??) and say that I REALLY enjoyed the demo!! Just the way your animations and the art and your staging work elevates the entire game experience?? Not to mention the pulse you have on comedy??? I could not stop laughing LOL (that starting scene was freaking hilarious and will be treat on a replay). 

Excitedly waiting for the next update, and having fun with this kinetic story thus far🤗

Whoop whoop!! 🥳

OOP not well!!! I'm very much considering switching to another WIP which is much further along and shelving Shadow (again).  

CRYING!!! This CG??? Best gift ever, thank you 🤧

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! ✨ And the allies--yes I'm choosing to think they are allies-- look gud 👀
