Why's it with a LGBT tag? Is there queer romance or just queer character?

I played, or let's say, went through every possible route and it's fuckin sad and irritating (the 'you' in it) to read. But I still wanted to, because I think that's what the author wanted to express and I'd like to see it through. The congratulation on how you didn't rape your friend was heartbreaking. You don't deserve any of this and I'm really glad you feel better now.
Great game. Understood the name of the game better after spending 40min or so playing it through...All the characters' bad endings are related to their perhaps unwanted abilities, joke or dark. Is Neo so badly afraid of changing his hair length because it is the 'anchor' kinda thing that he never changes no matter how he alters his appearance? Nevertheless, the game is actually way lighter than I thought when seeing the TWs.
Only got 9 endings so far and I wonder what's the remaining two? Or are they just where you try to date Neo or Will but did sth wrong? And I also couldn't load the pics maybe due to my location, but I wanted to see them so much that I put on a VPN. Aaaand they are gorgeous.
Personally my favorite character is Tommy, 'cause the 'older than he looks' vibe and his very dark-fairytale sort of bad end. But if he becomes a child everyday, wouldn't MC look like they're dating a kid? That's actually both fun and terrible to think of.
15234,,,Now that was fast. Got the two extreme endings and took a while to get the middle.
Simply played in the order: No mindreading, all mindreading, all mindreading but don't talk, little mindreading and read at the end, more mindreading and read at the end.
nice game tho, I'd really love to see what happens to them next
Not really that many, very few in fact, compared to the mass of other BL games, but more than one is victory(?)
And yes, it can be done, there are pretty many folks who own VPNs in China, but I'm not one of them. That thing is banned in our country so it isn't too easy to find, and when I do find one, its price drove me back to not using VPN at all...Although I feel like everyone has one but me...I've been looking for ways, but haven't found one yet. I can visit AO3 too tho, we've got quite a few mirror websites, it's just there may be security problems.
Thanks for your encouraging words! In fact each of IDV, MDZS and Genshin have multiple fan games here, and that's why I noticed the games in the first place. Judging from the number, Genshin seems to be liked among western gamers?
And I agree that bara games are more popular here xD there are tons of bara/furry/bara plus furry games on itch, that's probably because the gay audience's more interested in those kinds of games... But Japanese kimonos are to the liking of many people as well, so I guess it's not just about muscles. Maybe the art style isn't...idk, manly enough??? Besides that, Asian clothing can show muscles too, like this game I recently played called NU:carnival...the characters' clothes have exposed skin here and there, and even have their suits torn during battles...
Another thing, I don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but your art style seems more western than eastern. Your western games' art just look more appropriate, although I don't really know the reason...
As for the fan communities...we couldn't really get access to most foreign websites like Twitter and Reddit due to region restrictions (yeah, China), and itch is one of the few sites on which I can directly communicate with ppl from other cultures. If I make games solely in Chinese, I could just post them in Chinese websites, there's certainly more people who understands the language there - unless the game has some 'unmentionable' contents, if you know what I mean. Itch is an international platform, which is more open and more...free, especially on LGBT topics, I love the discussions here. So if I am to put games on itch, maybe I would first finish it in Chinese (just because it's easier writing in your mother language lmao), then translate it into English.
is it just me or does the game not have a save or menu button awa
also there are a few bugs! like in Andrew's ending it shows Mat's CG instead, and in Esteban's route the dialog box doesn't disappear after the conversation ends, which blocks the CG xD there are minor itches here and there too, especially in Esteban's route X)
but despite that this is still a great game, like the vibes
I believe that it looks like there are more BL games on itch than on steam is partly because...it's fairly easier to post games here than on steam...like posting on steam is more formal, and itch may be more casual, so there are quite a few short BL games here, which you can't see on steam. Idk, just a feeling.
And as for your edit...I think that's true xD as I am Chinese too, I often notice games made in or featuring Chinese elements. I don't know if this is because I only check out the Gay tag or not, but the popular ones would mostly be fangames of Chinese works (like Genshin or MDZS). Original BL games that are really popular and is purely about a Chinese topic, well...I haven't found one yet. The concepts are pretty hard for foreigners to understand I guess :P
A possible way to solve that is to simplify the terms, and add original ideas into it, for example, Genshin Impact again, or Qiu in Our Life Now & Forever. But then again, you can't say these games are completely 'Chinese' as well.
When I make games myself (currently just ideas), I would like to put some Chinese characters/elements in it, but that's all. Introducing traditions and cultures is too hard a task for some regular student like me xD
Ummmmmm and why didn't I just use Chinese in the first place???
总之加油,我们都有光明的未来,以及难道写论文一般的长感想是中国人特有才艺吗xDDD
Wow. That'd be real fast... Then I'll be adding your game to my 'list of hundreds of other games not yet finished but may be finished one day' too, in midichats' words xD If you really finish it by then I'll definitely come back for this game!
Oh, lemme re-word that, actually I'll come back simply if you finish it whenever ;-;
*some customer orders a drink*
*fails to give them the drink in time*
*throws the drink into the sink*
*the next customer orders same drink*
"GUHHHHH"(sad noises)
Really love this, although it could be a bit difficult at first...but the art, music and the sound effects - the whole experience is so relaxing. I think it would be nice to have a table or some sort of place where you can put your drink/food temporarily, it's useful when you want to make some drinks before-hand or when you failed to serve a drink in time.
