DUDE SINCE WHEN IS CHAPTER ONE OUT HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS UGH
FINALLLLLLLYYYYYYY, I JUST NOTICED THIS. THANK YOU. DEEPLY

Thank you for making this :)
I LOVE THE GAME SO MUCHHHHHHH <333 i love the artworks and the story in both route! GREATT JOBBBB CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT CHAP AAAAA
EEE THANK YOU SO MUCH !! <3 And thank you for playing !! <3<3
Absolutely loving this, beautiful style and great characterisation: I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for future chapters!
One note: if your name has any long letters like p or g, they crash into the tops of the speech. It isn't unreadable, just a bit jarring to look at! :)
Thank you so much; we're so glad you liked it !! 🥹💙
And thank you for pointing that out -- I'll get that updated on the page soon! <3
can't wait for chapter 2!!
the artwork is INSANE. I'm more of a ford simp so glad to see you've put them equally in this game, unlike others. I remember playing the demo and you've really worked further in this chapter, GOODJOBBB!!
HAII welcome back !! <3 After receiving feedback from the demo, it was important that we added more to Ford's route--so I'm so glad our revisions improved the gameplay with him! 🥹 TYSM FOR PLAYING & SUPPORTING US !! 💙
YOOO I LOVE THIS!! You added so much after the demo!! Can't wait for more!
Thank you so much !! 🥹
I love how the VN started and all the new art! I love the bioluminescence creature!
I enjoyed how Stan and Ford's dynamic is written, like when Stan asked Ford not to sleep too late and not believing him when he said he wouldn't, lol and vice versa with Ford to Stan with the right way to pick up something.
Also, the mystery surrounding the MC is so intriguing! I can't wait to find out more about them in the next chapter!
BRO, I played it when it was in the demo, and I loved it then! And now chapter one is out, AND ITS EVEN BETTER??? I can't wait for chapter two! This is awesome yall, keep up the good work!!!!

After installing it, what should I do? I'm confused 😭😭
Hi there! After downloading the folder, unzip it by pressing "Extract All." After that, it should take you to this screen. All you have to do is double-click the application to open the game! (I have it highlighted below). <3
