Yes! The game is playable via the web browser. However, not all mobile devices may load the game. You may also encounter some minor formatting issues since the game is optimized for PC/Mac/Linux.

this game is so relaxing and sweet, the visuals are also wonderful, i cant wait for chapter 3
I love everything about this game - it's so relaxing! Can't wait for the following updates :)
I loved this work is amazing
Love the new Chapter!
I recognize a game made with such love the moment I see it, and this is definitely one of them; Iβm eagerly looking forward to Chapter Three. The art is adorable, and the story is simply captivating—I love how naturally flirty Stan is with the user and how sweet Ford is so much fun from this
This game is soo funn, can't wait for the next chaptersss β
Very excited for chapter 3. This is honestly one of the best dating sims I've played on here. I love the art, story, and the original characters (Hattie is my goat) and the soundtrack. I'm really excited to see where the story goes next.
so near the end of chapter 2 i noticed some strange text in the log. "thxlyyemzzxts". does anyone have any idea what this might be?
i tried to decipher it with all the ciphers i know but i didn't come up with anything
Maybe it's a mix of Atbash and Caesar, like you do the Caesar code first and then Atbash? I'd try it myself, but I'm so busy
Yeah that could be, i'll have to check when i get home
on the edge of my seat, i JUST found this game like, yesterday and couldnt stop playing it. the storyline, the art, the sprites, all of them are amazing!!!! i cant wait until chapter 3 comes out
WELCOME WELCOME !! We're so happy you enjoyed the game! π₯Ίπ
Forgot to actually play the update I've been excited and waiting for, until today.
The art is pleasant, love the characterization of the Stans, and I'm glad Hattie seems like a non-issue/friendly. I like Hattie :)
If anyone knows that word cipher, lemme know ;)
is there no way to fill the bar up (love meter) or i just suck at romancing Stanley </333 :sobs:
The love meter will fill up more with each new chapter! It looks low right now since we're on Chapter 2. If you read Stan's note during that section, it will give insight into how he feels so far! <3
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH IM GONNA CRY WHEN THE NEXT CHAPTER COMES OUT W DEVS W GAME
(Also random question, how old are all the twins in this game? Just curious cuz in the family photo Dipper and Mabel look older.)
THANK YOU SO MUCHHH!! <33<3
About two years have passed before the game's storyline begins, so Dipper and Mabel are around 14/15, and Stan and Ford are in their late 60s (since they don't have a canon age)!
I love Hattie she's such a sweetheart! This is honestly such a good game! super interested in how it will be going! I will look forward to the next chapter!^^
We're so happy to hear! Thank you so much! π₯Ίπ
W GAME I CANT WAIT 4 THE FULL GAME^_^
THANK YOUUU! <3
Other then that I love the writing and can't wait to see what you come up with in chapter 3 (and I will hopefully upload a playthrough of Stan's route soon).
EEEE thank you so much for playing!! And we greatly appreciate you letting us know about the text running off at times; we'll work on fixing that and publish an update when that's complete!
Revised the lines that were running off the textbox! If you encounter any other issues in your next playthrough, please let us know! :D
Show post...
the stan twins dynamic is spot on, whoever wrote the dialogue really gets how these two work together. nice to see a fan game that actually feels like it belongs in the gravity falls universe
This is such an honor to hear, THANK YOU! π₯Ί And thank YOU for playing and sharing the love! π
I figured out the little symbols we see when exploring the boat a little! Fun! But I saw 'Thxlyyemzzxts' during chapter 1 iirc and I don't know how to decode it :/
me to what in the world :'0
Did you figure out the coded phrase on the itch.io page? :/ I tried but failed
This is my first time playing your game, and it's so beautiful! It's so comforting with the art, and you stayed perfectly true to Stan and Ford's characters!
Omg WELCOME! :D And thank you so much; it means the world! π₯Ί<3
OMG ofc, I can't wait for the next chapter to come out I LOVE ur work <3<3<3
No me acuerdo si jugue la demo o el primer capitulo, como sea, toca volver a jugarlo, que ganas de que sigan con la historia!!!

GAH!! I FINALLY played through this (fake friend I know I'm sorry jdfjkafd) AND I'M OBSESSED OMG!! I didn't expect the direction you took this in but I'm bouncing off the walls!!! Single-handedly reigniting my love for these old men. I can't wait to see where this goes!! Amazing work as always <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 !! π₯Ήπ
And thank you for pointing that out -- I'll get that updated on the page soon! <3
