Back again! Played and got all the CGs hehe (again, beautiful art!) But man, a lot of things mentioned off-handedly and for a short bit for some of the characters made me go "wait what, you're not gonna say more? but i must know!" xD like woah, what the heck is up with Buzz Bee's candies? what about that plan Bogart talked about that was inspired by his past? what about Doug's history? hahaha, oh well. 

If you ever considered making a longer game based off these character - know that you have one supporter here down bad to get her hands on the VN alright. Again though - good job on this short one <3 Rlly enjoyed it! Will probably play anything you all make, rlly. See ya'll again in another game's comment section hahaha. 

Haven't tried out all choices yet & will possibly come back to comment more. First off, please know that I loved this!! I found the length to be just nice (like it wasn't too short hehe). And I very quickly got attached to some of the characters (specifically Blatella, Frank, and Doug hehe). Still, Imma drop this comment off first before I continue trying out other choices: I DEMAND BETTER FOR DOUG T.T oh my heart, he's surprisingly precious what the heckk. 

Also, this isn't the first game I played from you all but I realised I've never commented on the fact that the art is GORGEOUS <3 Your games' main menu's art is always like a pleasant little surprise hahaha (I like how hovering over the buttons changes up the art - and I think ya'll deserve more credit for putting in effort on that hehe). Anways! I'm off to explore more options frm this game hehe.

oh my gosh. i'm still missing some endings, but i played through quite a few of them already - and i just got the one that seemed canon (cuz in a sense, almost everyone had loose ends tied together, and they seemed happy) (Zen's 5th end)  hahahaha. 

you know, i rmb stumbling upon your games when i was like a pre-teen hahaha. i played all the Fantasia Games back then (ROT, ROTA, and even like the demo for MOGT). I rmb even joining the Fantasia Game Forums and beta-testing for Doppelganger hahaha. Then, I took quite a long break from online communities (DevaintArt in particular). 

It felt super long ago (am 23 now), but I could still vividly remember how your games made me felt back then as a somewhat lonely teen ahahha, and the joy that your stories have brought me.  

So I'm really happy to be able to play something you made again - I think you're super cool for making it free to play still. hehe. I loved this one so much! Ash felt like a super non-traditional main character and I  liked that (she felt almost like a side character whose life we get to peek into, given how much Fatima seemed to be more of  the "chosen one" at first glance hahaha).  For the routes - I rlly liked Altair, but also found him to be super cute with the other girls he might've ended up with depending on our choices on the other routes too HAHAHA (I swear, it's his world and we're just living in it heh xD).  I found Malik's route super depressing (idk, even his supposed "good ends" felt so sad and "off" to me, idk why hahaha). When I got to Zen's route, I honestly cannot see Ash with anyone else but him anymore hahhaha. Like - they put "meant to be" in a whole new level, and I just feel so happy for them when they're happy and together. Haven't gotten to Fatima's route yet, but I'll do that later hehe.

Another thing I loved about this (as well as the rest of your work)  is how much background and lore you give to each character goshhh. I love love loveee that so - and definitely can see the time and effort you put into planning + creating your visual novels <3

Mayy or may not say more later - but for now, that's all that comes to my mind ;) Congrats on the release, hope more people will come to leave their comments, and hope you have a nice week ahead! 

Just finished everyone's routes and their good endings. I'm so so glad I downloaded because this was such a great play <3 The characters were all so fun to interact with and I loved the "slice-of-life" sort of setting. The heroine's anxieties were really relatable, and I'm so happy to see her grow throughout the game ;) 

I found myself really liking every character in the game heheh. i mean, Eric did tick me off (like i kept saying "you're cute sometimes, but fuck you Eric") still it was overall a very worth-playing game hahaha. 

I saw you guys mentioned in some of the comment replies below that ya'll are planning to add epilogues and all that, and I just wanna say that I can't wait! The characters are so lovable and fun to read - it'd be such a delight to read even more about what the characters think about their job as teachers, as well as what happened after the "good ending", how the office dynamics changed, how each love interest grow to be more comfy around the MC, more dates, and all that hehe.

Stuff written below is just me gushing about my favorite love interests... soooo SPOILER ALERT!

I kid you not, I combusted at Lawrence's route. Throughout playing his route I was like "shit. he's my type" because what the hell - Library dates? Discussing books together? An intellectual? An unexpected tease? Hidden passion beneath that cold exterior? Like dammnnn, this guy got me real good and the writing was *chef's kiss* immaculate. I really did enjoy every interaction I have with him hahaha. Oh, I was also quite curious about him and Ray's history - but I'll wait patiently for answers hehe. 

Leo was also a fav hehe. I went to play his route first and was not disappointed lols. He's such an endearing character. Totally lmao-ed at the way he pouted and forced himself out the room when Eric interrupted his moment with the MC ahhaha. I feel bad that he was so afraid that people will leave him after knowing what he likes ;-; he deserves all the hugs in the world <3 It was funny and cute how he immediately just blurted a casual proposal after we accepted him so readily lmaooo.

I also really liked Markus & Edgar hehe

We'd love it if you let us know in the comments:

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?

• I went in this order: Tristan > Luca > Theo. 
• My favorite character ended up being Luca <3 I really like his forwardness, and I loved how he was actually a pretty sweet and sensitive guy (like how he felt for Tristan in the Pear Store). I also like the fact that although we both pursued our own interests & were working on ourselves, we were doing it together hehe. I guess I felt most myself playing his route. 
• As for Tristan, he reminds me of this friend I have who I see more like a brother & a bit of myself hahaha. he was relatable, but I guess not the type I'd romance. I still loved his ending thougghhh (I think it might even be my favorite ending. like that's the sweetest shit & such a dream goal). 
• Theo's route took me a while to get into it, probably because at first  I was also not a fan of being set up personally hahaha. but his route was overall sweet <3

2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

• Yepp.

3. What's your favorite moment in the game?

• I think I liked the moments where we get to interact a bit with family members of the love interest (I don't know why Luca's route with his mum stuck to me hehe)
• Another specific one is when Theo suddenly used those 3 emojis to describe what he wanted to do after the party. I kid you not, I hollered and laughed because like what the hell that felt so unexpectedly bold.

4. Do you want a Mark route?

• After all the stuff he blurted out in Theo's route? Yeah, I'd honestly like to know more about his character. 

5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

• Hmm, if ya'll release a new route & at the same time bring in updates of the game being fully voiced, I thinkk I can see myself replaying it? The answer's more of a maybe for me, hahaha sorry for not giving a straight up reply because it really depends whether I have the time to or not.

Yay! <3 Thanks for the upcoming update hehe, super excited to play ;)

Lemme tell you, I can't even remember my assignments due dates precisely(unless I check them), but this - this game's release date got me all hyped up and I'm super excited because it's like in three days AHHHHHHH

I just wanna say - thank you all so much for the hard work on the game ;-; Pretty sure you get this all the time but gosh oh gosh, do I love the game and the characters in it and the world you've built hehehe <3 all the best in whatever ya'll be doing and hope ya'll get to have quality rest (while juggling everything including the game's development in your hands ahhaah).

I absolutely love this. <3 The first chapter left me excited for more. ;)) I'm usually picky on what I read, so believe me when I say I think you write very well. I also love the fact that we can shape our MC through the choices we make. You can expect me to play until the end hehehe. 

Am curious though, are you working on this on your own?

All the best in writing future chapters!
