Thank you for your tears and applause. That is my favourite kind of compliment.

I'd love voice acting too man, but since we decided to self-publish, we don't have the budget for that. That's why it's the best when I watch streamers like you and your friend voice act the whole thing. Speaking of, I can imagine what a crazy night that was with some of the endings and I wish I could see them. If you have a link to share, please do!

They say the way to someone's heart is through their stomach. So if Button's in your stomach, expect some heartburn soon, since mushrooms aren't meant to be in that organ. 

Thanks for playing! Cooking mushrooms sounds like a wonderful idea to accompany the game's release :)

It is such a pleasure to read this. Thank you very much for playing, and I hope you will enjoy the rest of the emotional rides for the other mushroom girls when they come out :)

Hi, don't worry, I read every comment, though I can't reply to them all any more these days with how busy I am. I'd appreciate if you don't spam your comment in the future. I know a lot of fans have their own wishes, but for me, death is the end and this game is about living when you can't get past that, so this request would lessen the impact of it. It is depressing on purpose unfortunately, and I apologise for that. This game contains trigger warnings because of its sensitive subject matter, though I hope with the other routes coming, you'll see how one can still carry on so it's not so painful. Similar to how fans modded DDLC, I'm happy for anyone to mod their own scenarios using the game's art assets as long as it's free.

Hi there! I am so happy you enjoyed my game and thank you for the comment! I do have a patreon which is https://www.patreon.com/trubluIs. I do not have a discord at the moment but thank you for showing interest.

I just wanted to add that we will also be doing regional pricing for those in other regions where the prices of getting a game aren’t as directly translateable. 

Thank yooooooou!!!! It's awesome to hear from you again! It won't be much longer until the release :D

Thank you so much for playing my game! I'm glad you loved Button, the backgrounds and music! It's good to hear that the ending hits hard and got you to contribute to the tears bucket - and also that you'd be interested in the plushies if they ever come out!

I think around 10$? This is a loose estimation, and must still be discussed with the team when we're about to launch. Also - I would love plushies of the characters too! Someone needs to make it happen though, because i do not have the time to make it 🥲

DDLC is an inspiration to me, so to be compared to it means a lot. Thank you for your contribution to the tears bucket. May Button and Sayori rest in peace together along with the other girls coming soon :)

It's and honour to hear that you made an account just for this. Thank you, and I'm glad you liked it so much!

Yes! We will have mac versions available. Thank you for such a sweet comment and I really hope you enjoy the full game too!

Thank you for playing and for your tears! Button and the rest of the mushroom girls have a very short life unfortunately, but what matters is what you do with the time you have, so I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Sorry to deny you your copium, but I don't find run-of-the-mill that interesting, so no. Assuming that means that everyone is happy without any consequences. Even the happiest endings will still entail a bit of emotional or physical suffering.

I recently used the built-in renpy butler client in order to upload a new preview build of my game to itch. I was intending for the files to be uploaded to a completely new build and downloadable file on the project page. However even after defining a new build name and executable name the uploaded build ended up replacing the older one. I do not have easy access to that older build and would like to know if it is possible for the push I made recently to be reverted.

Hi there! Currently we are rated 16. There will never be nudity.  In a certain ending, sex can be implied, but it is never shown or specifically stated. 

Besides that, the reason for our rating is that sometimes there is distressing imagery when the girls expire - In some routes there is disfiguration and death shown (No blood, since they are mushrooms). The below screenshot might be helpful for you to determine if this game is for you. The first 3 are only in the demo, while the full list is in the full game coming out later this year.

Yay, thanks! I hope you enjoy it when it comes out soon!

Because life doesn't let us :(

Thank you for playing! This was made in only 3 days with little sleep and by 2 people, so it's definitely not a good representation of dating sims. The ability to scroll greatly undermines the memory mechanic, so  totally agree with you there.

Thank you so much for reaching out and playing the game! Hearing that it made you cry is a huge compliment and I apologise for getting your hopes up that you could save Button.

The other mushroom girls are can't wait to meet you too! I hope you consider wishlisting the game on Steam so you're notified when it releases soon!

You are the only person to mention that about the auto-forward! Thank you for alerting me to this problem, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Hi! The other mushrooms will release Q4 2025, so in just a few months! You'll be able to play them very soon :) I recommend wishlisting the full game on Steam to be notified when they release!

I really dig the character art. It's beautiful and has such a unique sense of style. Xenin's sighing pose with the lil ghost coming out made me laugh. It's soooo cute!

The drama kept me hooked. The mom, the "past wounds", the awkward convo... I'm here for it. I like how messy and complicated their relationship and everyone's emotions are, which is made obvious the way the choices are described. It feels sincere. 

The smart choice in music works well to convey the mood. The occasional sound effect was also a nice touch!

Oh my gosh, thank you for playing it! Well done on getting all the endings!!

Thank you so much! If you can't get the endings because it's too much emotionally, I totally understand. It can be a tough game to play.

But if it's because you're struggling to find the solutions - here's a walkthrough: https://trubluis.itch.io/grow-a-girlfriend/devlog/643807/grow-a-girlfriend-walkt...

Haha, it's a pleasure! Thank you for playing and I hope you continue to value life for a long time

What a wonderful comment! Thank you so much for playing and wishlisting! I'm so glad to hear you loved it and that it moved you. I hope you enjoy the full release when it comes out.

Hey, that's awesome! Well done for getting them all!

Haha, don't worry - it's not silly!

Canonically, these are genetically engineered mushroom girls, and they have been modified in a way that makes them easy to grow in a typical mushroom starter kit.

Yup! Button's route is completely finished. You'll only get more content from the other two mushroom

Hi there! The full game isn't done yet, but it's coming soon! You can only play the demo for now (either here on on Steam) and/or wishlist the full game on Steam :)

Hope that helps!

Hi there!
The full game is coming Q4 2025. So just a few months more!

The price isn't final yet, but if you'd like even a rough estimation, it could be around $10.

It's part of our stretch goals, but not our main goal right now.

Hi there

It was a pleasure to read and hear your thoughts on the overall experience, and I'm especially glad to hear you think I balanced the cute and dark aspects well.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for the full release! think you'll find that the mc goes through a lot more growth. Generally speaking, mistakes will be made (if you lead him down that path), there will be consequences, and you will have the opportunity to change or to continue as is.

Thanks for the good wishes and the detailed review, fellow Manly fan! 

Not yet, but eventually yes! The musician is Yaebafang and they said they're planning to put it on a streaming service under their name.

What an honour to be called inspiring! Thank you for such a sweet message. I'm so happy have been a push for you to keep going.

Whatever you have right now, whether it's only notes or if you have the base renpy engine ready, why don't you send it to me and when I'm free I'll have a look and give you some advice? If you have the game in a playable state, assuming you're using Ren'py, you can send me the distribution in your email (If this is your first VN, you might not know what that is, but it's super quick and there are tons of YouTube tutorials to get you there).

If you have any questions about that, let me know. Otherwise, whenever you're ready to share your stuff, you can email me at true.blue.eyes@icloud.com.

So glad to hear the gallery is working as intended and that you saw your name in the credits! Now it's always there as a reminder of how you've affected someone's life and kept me going during the many months of development.

And thank you for saying that about the Steam page and trailer!

Haha, it sounds like you've got a plan on how to consume the content one way or another. In that case, until the full release comes out, stay well, and thanks again for your continued support!

Sadism unintended, but I hope so too :)

Oh no, sorry if I miscommunicated with you. The other two mushrooms only come out later this year! It's not currently available to play.
The latest build of the game that I updated this week is just an update to Button's route (containing the new bedroom background, main menu, and more graphics like kissing/death scenes, and 2 more meals you cook her into).

The gallery folder from the main menu should have 4 total art pieces for Button, and if you got all her endings, they SHOULD be all there. Maybe you've found an error in the game? Let me know which ones you're missing, eg. "top left".

Much appreciated, Alex! I'm so glad to hear that you loved Button's route, and I hope you'll enjoy the other two coming soon!
