Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately Emerson is the deuteragonist and an integral part of the main story, so you sort of have to befriend him for everything to make sense — but by default his relationship with the player character is platonic. Other main characters such as Di do have their own routes with the potential for romance, but these individual character routes are not included in the demo. Please note that the game is more focused on the player character's journey and not exactly a pure dating sim, however, so I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is only looking for romance, whether it is with men or women.
Thanks for playing! The game will be available on Steam for sure, other details regarding launch will be posted on any of the platforms listed above in the future.
Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave a comment! I definitely understand that players naturally want more customisation options, and of course I wanted to add more options myself as well. However, I am limited by the fact that I'm the only person working on the game, and unfortunately can't afford to work on "nice-to-have" features at the moment when there are still many high-priority tasks.
Thanks for playing and leaving such a detailed comment!
While I initially also wanted to add lip piercings, unfortunately piercings that need to move along with the character's different expression variations would take more time (which I currently don't have much of) to implement, especially if there are multiple styles. This is also the same reason there are no eyebrow piercing options, either.
The nickname is just a nickname to be used among friends, so it's not really a stage name. It's also just a fun little way to show the preferences of individual characters. For example, Kendra will only ever call you by your proper first name, same as how she uses Diana for Di.
I'm not sure if it qualifies as a proper smartphone, but the Sidekick let you check MySpace/AIM and was the phone that all the scene kids wanted back in the day, haha.
The game is also on Steam, and you can find it over here.
Thank you so much for playing! I made this game in part to fill the hole in my heart that old Warped and the scene in general left, so I'm glad others who miss it too or never got to go at all are enjoying it, haha.
Thanks for your comment! Regarding the name input, are you keeping your cursor on the input field itself when you try to type? You can only type when the field is blue with your cursor hovering on it after you've clicked it, like this:
Hello, the soundtrack consists of music licensed through Creative Commons, so it cannot be released by us. However, you should be able to make a playlist on your own as all the songs and artists are listed in the credits, which is accessible through the "extras" button on the main menu. Clicking on each song/artist should bring you to their page on Free Music Archive with download links.
Thanks so much for playing and leaving a comment! It's always fun to hear which characters people were initially interested in and who they ended up liking!
