I did... I play VNs with my boyfriend (where we voice the different characters and try to be as ridiculous as possible) and we always use the same name for the main character when given the choice.

Understandable, and I'm sorry: that must be tough to deal with.

Most extroverts think that we're all socially awkward and shy... that's something that can be true for both introverts and extroverts. I know some really socially awkward extroverts.

Just because of that misconception, I kind of bristle when it becomes an introvert stereotype.

Definitely all about the Toby! My boyfriend (who will be moving here in exactly four weeks) and I zipped through this one and enjoyed it like always.

The number of VNs you have also shouldn't affect the speed of a game, unless your storage space is almost full... or if you are running a bunch of them at the same time.

Funny that you felt that that was a good representation of introverts... I am severely introverted and I didn't quite agree: I like to spend almost all my time by myself, but I'm not shy or socially awkward at all... in fact, I get along with most people very well and feel confident in my interactions. Being social just drains my batteries, whereas being alone recharges them.

I ran it on my M1 MacBook Pro and it wasn't laggy at all.

I noticed this as well... I was like, "Why is the character calling me Guy?"

Then on my second playthrough, it occurred to me when I saw that the default name was Guy.

LOL it really isn't hard. You kinda have to try to get one of the bad endings. Before you talk to the shadow NPCs, save your game, because you can make a wrong decision there that might affect the outcome, but the rest should just be following common sense.

I absolutely love all of your games... I haven't been able to play them myself, because I use a Mac since I develop software and need a Unix environment (and I just don't like Windows, especially since 8) but I've watched ManlyBadassHero play through them all on YouTube and they are easily amongst my favourite horror games... the unique but consistent art style and your ideas are great!

I'm so happy to see Grandma's face again. <3.

Wow... that actually worked! Thank you so so much!

I thought it was an issue with RPGMaker and MacBook Pro 1.10.5+ compatibility... but it's great to see it working after fiddling with all sorts of permissions and trying to cd into the game folder and fiddle around with things! Thank you so much! I had no idea that this existed.

The Mac version doesn't seem to work... the permissions are wrong and when I fix them, it just crashes... happens on my Intel and M1 MacBook Pros. :'(

I'll try pulling out my old Windows laptop to see if I can get it to run there.

LOL my projects are for solving math problems, so not quite as much entertainment appeal as this.

Thanks for updating me. I really hope everything is okay for them.

Too many promising projects just die for reasons (I've been there myself as a software engineer that enjoys programming in my spare time) and this one looks especially good. I'm wishing good things for the team. ❤️

I saw ManlyBadassHero play through the demo, and this game looked like it had SO much potential... but that playthrough was two years ago and it doesn't look like there has been any development since then. Is this project dead?

WTF is wrong with China?

Yep. So would I, and it would be easy to have done if it had been planned from the start, but no: so many people only support Windows. It's irritating when there are so many cross-platform options.

So tired of games that could be so easily made for Windows, Mac, and Linux only being made for Windows. ◔_◔

I love your games so much.

If you need help, let me know. My Spanish is passable.

Awww... short, but a lovely story. I really enjoyed this! Thanks as always for a beautiful, fun game.

Nice. He might be exactly what i'm looking for!

Fair enough, and a good point. Thanks for replying, and for making this game in the first place!

Some guys just don't have body hair?

As much as I do like this VN and would recommend it, and find the relationship between the protagonist and Jake in particular to be sweet, I must say that I really, really dislike Dan. I don't think it's funny or okay for someone to openly objectify me to that level without my consent: if he kept it to his imagination, that would be one thing and perfectly fine, but he doesn't, and sexualizes the main character at every opportunity. I find his persistent advances very unwelcome. As a gay man that has been objectified in this way multiple times and had people I found unappealing actually physically grope me despite my clear lack of interest and consent, it's tedious enough in real life, and to have a childish character sexually propositioning me repeatedly in a fictional narrative that I go to to enjoy myself, it is a big put-off. While the #MeToo movement might predominantly apply to women, men can also be victims, and it can be just as upsetting.

No worries. As long as I can get my mitts on it. Steam can be a but of a pain in the butt. I'd rather get my games from itch, anyway.

Steam just lists the game as being only available on Windows. Please tell me it'll be available on Mac as well?

In fact, most of the best male/male sex games are surprisingly written by women... You wouldn't think so, but it's true.

Just out of curiosity, are you planning on finishing this game? I loved the demo so much! I need some romance with William! =swoon=

Merci beaucoup pour les corrections, chibiogami. Comme j'ai dit, ça fait longtemps que j'ai parlé français, et pour cette raison, je sais que mon français est loin d'être parfait. Je veux devenir mieux et n'oublier plus; donc, encore, merci pour ta commentaire!

Je te souhaites une bonne journée!

Bravo! Très bien! C'est un grand accomplissement! Peut-être je vais rejouer encore en français parce que j'ai besoin de pratiquer plus. Quand j'essaye de parler français, par accident, je commence de parler espagnol!

Le plus drôle, c'est quand j'étais entrain d'apprendre espagnol, et par accident, j'ai répondu a ma professeure en chinois! Elle m'a dit (en espagnol, naturellement): «Sebastian, je croix que ton cerveau est cassé!»

I can take delicate topics. The scene that might have bothered some people didn't bother me at all. The world isn't all butterflies and lollipops and cute guys :D. 

I kept wondering if it was finished because I heard voice acting was coming, etc, so I put it off in lieu of some other gay visual novels... but I like yours best of all, so it was an awesome treat to finally play it!

And please keep spamming me so I don't miss anything!

Ertal, you've made a convert of me again! I'm really not a fan of the Arabian Knights style games, so I put off playing this over and over and over... and finally got to it two days ago and just burned through the whole thing. Great story, characters, graphics, and music... just like I've come to expect from your games. I love that you are making the world a more diverse, interesting place with LGBT+ themed material and I can't wait for Night & Day... I'm so glad to be able to support such a creative, fantastic developer.

I still miss Alex terribly, but I'm looking forward to new characters to come!

That would be a dream come true! I'd even up my patreon specifically (perhaps another $100) if you did. I want to do anything to support your games. I'd kickstart this one now as well but I have CC fraud and need to wait a couple weeks for a new card.

You are amongst my top BL games in the world. Thank you for making these games!

Thanks for the clarification. It just seemed a little unexpected at first.

I'm a huge fan of your games, but I wasn't expecting to like this one, mainly because I've been around quite a few places in Europe and Paris was the only one I can really say I didn't like; however, I LOVE this demo. I'm so glad to have the chance to Patreon you to keep you making wonderful games like this... and I know that Denis won't be a possible love interest (based on the count of four, I'm guessing) but I'll keep my fingers crossed. Those red haired men... =swoon=

Did it work?

Okay. So what you need to do is this:

1. Right click on the game icon.

2. Click "Show package contents"

(A new window should pop up with a folder "Contents" in it).

3. Double click on the Contents window to open a new window with Info.plist, MacOS, and Resources.

4. Double click on Mac OS to open a new folder with lib and "Signed_and_Sealed_With_a_Kiss".

5. Right click on "Signed_and_Sealed_with_a_Kiss" and then open.  If it gives you a warning, open it anyway. It's because it's not sold through the apple store or steam or a signing agent. It should open just fine.

If you want to make it easier to open in the future, drag the "Sgned_and_sealed_with_a_kiss_ to your dock. You probably won't have to confirm opening it ever again unless you update.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if it doesn't and what went wrong and I'll try to help you further!

Good luck! (I'm a Python programmer and a Mac OS programmer, and have had to do this for tons of visual novels.)

This is a Python issue with renpy that's common with lots of visual novels. If you're interested in the solution, let me know since it takes a little work and I don't want to type it all out unless you still plan on playing the game.

Why are the graphics for the actions so... strange? For example, I get a shirtless guy holding an axe when I choose to ride the bus, or some guy playing the piano when I choose to make a cake. I picked the teaching assistant route and when I work as hard as I can, it looks like pole dancing? WTH?

This game is... decent, but a little odd. The MC's constant resistance to the base boyfriend seems unrealistic. I'm not sure how I'd classify this game, as it's a visual novel but definitely not a BL / Yaoi novel based on the very minimal amount of sex.

*sniffles*

And with that, it's over. I'm going to miss you, Alex, Damian, Rick, and Morty. =tear=
