Under Maintenance

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?: Mark...but I think you meant of the actual 3 bachelors, hehe. Gosh, probably Theo? I just really liked that he felt like some average dude trying his best. His dad's story touched me, and I love his big family and how deeply he cares.

2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?: Yes! <3

3. What's your favorite moment in the game?: Okay so LOL, I really cracked up at the instant bad end option you get with Luca when you make the wife comment. Probably my favorite moment because it was so unexpected! 

4. Do you want a Mark route?: PLEASEEEEE. I took him home first and was so disappointed when I got a bad end! Like I can tell he's hurting inside and doesn't know how to deal with it, so he buries it under sarcasm and a rough exterior. He doesn't really seem to know what to do with the MC when she gives him attention, which I think is a really sweet (and sad) quality. I want more Mark! I NEED MORE MARK

5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?: Yes!! I'll probably be replaying it anyway down the line as it is :,)

I loveeeee it!!! All boys are endearing 💖 it actually felt realistic which is a very nice touch especially with the best friend and cat ^^

Tristan is so cute~ I loved the ending where we get to keep the cat :)) Both of them are so awkward and love how MC was patient too.

Luca and MC's interactions are the best, it was smooth flowing and how their lives became intertwined!! it felt like he was the true route.

While Theo's story really got me... i really love his family connection <3 something about it really makes me warm since probably I am the same as him. I really liked how they talk it through with the miscommunication and got together at the end. I loved the last part of it with the MC becaming his girlfriend and sending those emojis to imply the deed lmaooo.

I would also like for a Mark route probably... it feels like theres more to him than meets the eye. (and he was the first one to caught my eye when looking at the descriptions of characters ngl its the red hair and tan skin with the cocky vibe for me ><)

Thank you for making this!! <333 I will follow for more contents and VNs <333

1.) Fav Character? Tristan. He was so cute and totally my type. I liked the interactions with him. Like there was conflict and fun moments that spiced it up.

2.) Regain Color? Yes

3.) Fav Moment - either making out/nsfw dialogue or Tristan's best ending which was so cute to read

4.) Mark Route? Yes yes yes yes yes (I think he could be a really interesting character if there were more time to get to know him)

5.) Fully Voiced? Yesssss

I only played Luca's route so far, but I can say without doubt that the protagonist is one of the most fun and interesting protagonist I've ever seen. Really love their personality and I saw myself a lot in them :D

Concerning the route I played, I adored Luca. He is very sweet and I really like the depth you gave him. Super happy I got his good ending too ! 

Honestly I'm impressed by how good every dialogue are and I had a great time so thank you :)

One of the authors informed me about their submission in the spring and I've been waiting to play it! The dialogue is very witty and the characters are well written and easy to relate to. I'm always so impressed by the talent showcased in game jams, and this one is no exception. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Nerd boy is my fave. I have a thing for nerds and his personality is so sweet. Yeah, i played all three dudes and got their good endings. I don't have the heart to try to get any bad ones. My fave moments are the awkward ones since it makes things feel more organic. Also, any moment with the cat. If the Mark rout has a redemption arc in it i would be interested...i so want him to apologies to our boys. I dont care if a game is fully voiced or not.

Which character was your favorite? Why?

I really liked Tristan! I think he's just the closest to my type so that's the basis for it. He also just had a super endearing route. The touch of him adopting the kitty and the MC and him working on themselves together despite past relationships was enough to melt my heart. Also, for some reason, the detail of him having trouble with intimacy and the insistence on waiting and just cuddling instead was something I personally really appreciated. He seemed so enamored with the MC, which in my head is kind of a must-have with partners! Sweet dude, my god.

I also quite liked Theo and Luca's route, probably a little bit more Theo's than Luca's, but I think that once again was a type thing. The family connection to his story was very endearing. I was practically melted on the floor at the end when the MC announces that they're dating and he picks her up and swings her around. The only reason I think I didn't connect as much with Luca's story was because I typically don't like men who are highly sought after. (A weird personal thing I have).

All the routes though were so amazing. I already kinda wanna play Tristian's again hahah. They're short enough to be fresh and fun, not too long to make me want to move on with the story. Also not too short and just long enough to get immersed! I loved the realism in the stories. They seemed a lot more realistic to how real-life relationships begin and progress than most other dating sims. Tropes can be fun, but can get exhausting. I think that was one of my favorite parts about the game.

Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

I did!!! I got Theo and Tristian's good ending on my first playthrough and it took me two tries for Luca.

What's your favorite moment in the game?

Honestly, meeting Tristian and the first night the MC spends with him back at her place where they just cuddle. I love his honesty, ability to set boundaries and the fluff the moment provides.

Do you want a Mark route?

Honestly, for me, I don't think so? I don't think I'm all that interested in him. I'm sure other players would really enjoy it though.

Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

For sure!

Okay I'm still not done with this BUT. 

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?

I was pretty sure it was physically impossible for me to thirst for anyone as much as I was thirsting for Theo. And then I met Luca and fml. In my mind Theo was pretty direct - he was the "idk what you're playing at" guy but there was a surprising amount of miscommunication and what felt like rejection in a way...? 

(More on that below, but it hit a personal trigger basically.) 

This just goes to show how effed up society is that when a man says 'no' it's immediately about you doing something wrong and not because idk, he has boundaries and issues and a rich inner life that isn't led in the wake of his dick.  

Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their colour?

No, but that's because the level of second-hand embarrassment during my first interaction with Tristan was really high. It's kind of sad because my entire life is nerdy boys and I married... basically Tristan irl. 

My only issue is that I'd have to go through that scene again and my frail sense of self can't take that. First impressions count and his was... oof.

What's your favorite moment in the game?

Okay so you gotta understand I'm basically playing all the otome jam games ✨for research✨ and I play them with my husband sitting right next to me. And while the boys were great, I think the best part of it was right at the beginning when I was reading out the intro and my husband was sitting next to me just occasionally sniggering because it was funny and just both of us playing the game together. 

A lot of things just opened up a dialogue, about games we've played (I found out he played genshin impact for example) about how the server maintenance weird translation messages were so relatable. 

In the end, we just were talking about how the more minute details were so realistic. The whole call with HR was a really clever way of going about this, it set the tone of the story, it made us laugh. 

As for the boys. I mean, struggling with what you want to do, with chasing dreams you've put on the backburner, talking about boundaries and having rational, mature and empathetic conversations. There were so many moments throughout this where I felt like I'd lived this before in my own relationship - I think that's maybe why Theo's route hit me a bit wrong, because it was less fantasy and more reality if you know what I mean?

Do you want a Mark route?

On the one hand no. On the other hand no as well, really. Like he's a shit person and I want to be as far away from him as humanly possible.

But. There's a part of me that's curious to see what you'd do with him. I'm not an asshole apologist but some of my best friends are reformed assholes and all it took were a few serious conversations about boundaries and a lot of... idk. Empathy. Getting them to feel comfortable in their own skin so they weren't busy posturing all the time.  

Like I can see it being a good character arc, but at the same time the "I can fix him" mentality is really dangerous and I'm scared it'll do more harm than good. 

So far, you've done a lot of good though, so I trust you know best.

Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

Probably not. Or at least that wouldn't be the reason to come back to it. I can see myself coming back to it in the future but not specifically because of the voice acting.

Oh wow, that was a bigass review. 

Other than that I just wanted to thank you guys for being incredible on twitter. It's been an honour and a pleasure to jam with you. You've done something wonderful here and there isn't enough room or time to give proper feedback to all the things I loved about it.

OH. I may be wrong and it could happen in a route and I missed it but I want to adopt the kitty tho?!

We'd love it if you let us know in the comments:

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?

• I went in this order: Tristan > Luca > Theo. 
• My favorite character ended up being Luca <3 I really like his forwardness, and I loved how he was actually a pretty sweet and sensitive guy (like how he felt for Tristan in the Pear Store). I also like the fact that although we both pursued our own interests & were working on ourselves, we were doing it together hehe. I guess I felt most myself playing his route. 
• As for Tristan, he reminds me of this friend I have who I see more like a brother & a bit of myself hahaha. he was relatable, but I guess not the type I'd romance. I still loved his ending thougghhh (I think it might even be my favorite ending. like that's the sweetest shit & such a dream goal). 
• Theo's route took me a while to get into it, probably because at first  I was also not a fan of being set up personally hahaha. but his route was overall sweet <3

2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

• Yepp.

3. What's your favorite moment in the game?

• I think I liked the moments where we get to interact a bit with family members of the love interest (I don't know why Luca's route with his mum stuck to me hehe)
• Another specific one is when Theo suddenly used those 3 emojis to describe what he wanted to do after the party. I kid you not, I hollered and laughed because like what the hell that felt so unexpectedly bold.

4. Do you want a Mark route?

• After all the stuff he blurted out in Theo's route? Yeah, I'd honestly like to know more about his character. 

5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

• Hmm, if ya'll release a new route & at the same time bring in updates of the game being fully voiced, I thinkk I can see myself replaying it? The answer's more of a maybe for me, hahaha sorry for not giving a straight up reply because it really depends whether I have the time to or not.

I am enjoying the game

I am enjoying the game! I have been able to get through Theo's story successfully and I am excited to see the other guys. The BFF text messages and the cat make the game very relatable. <3

hey devs ! the game sounds fun , i installed it on my pc ( the windows version) and it wouldn't launch so i tried again with the the itch app and the same thing happened.

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?
   
   1. Theo has my whole heart honestly. I love the softie-who-looks-bad type, and his family connection is sweet, plus I have a soft spot for mechanics. 
2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?
   1. Yup!
3. What's your favorite moment in the game?
   1. I loved how there was a summary with the bestie at the end of each chapter. It was such a unique thing, but also felt very realistic. I would love to see that in more games! 
4. Do you want a Mark route?
   1. Yeah, I have a weakness for redheads, and I have the toxic "I can fix them" mentality. 
5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?
   1. Probably not. I think there was an adequate amount of voice acting, and I am not a fan of replaying games without significant changes.

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?
   1. I've only played Luca so far. He was just too cute to tease in the game.
2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?
   1. Not yet, I had my own Luca and Mark for a while, although I hadn't realized Mark wasn't a love interest until after I started playing the game.
3. What's your favorite moment in the game?
   1. My favorite moment was when they first met up.
4. Do you want a Mark route?
   1. I DO want a Mark route! I'm interested in his storyline. When I saw him in Luca's storyline I wanted to ditch Luca and go with him but I didn't.
5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?
   1. I don't mind if it's fully voiced. I'm okay with either. But I am a fast and impatient reader so sometimes I'm just left waiting for the next dialogue or just skipping through. I did enjoy the noises they make like the sighs. It helped immerse me in the game. I loved the voice of both Mark and Luca!

Okay, some personal comments, I enjoyed the storyline and how different choices led to different endings. All the characters were beautifully drawn. I loved how the in-game texting featured worked and that I was able to scroll back on the texts. It really felt real. Plus, the MC's personality kinda resembled mine in some ways so I was able to relate to the MC and her choices. I really enjoyed the game!

1. Which character was your favorite? Tristan! I was surprised by how sweet he was. And the way he talked about games. 
2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color? Yes!
3. What's your favorite moment in the game? Snuggling with Tristan. Or calling him a lowkey yandere.
4. Do you want a Mark route? Yes! More of any routes.
5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced? Also, yes.

Also, wouldn't mind an ending guide-- I keep getting the same (delightful) endings!

Y'all did such an amazing job :') I liked the mc's interactions with her best friend, gushing over the guys, talking about the game. Really curious about what the husbandos look like 

1. I'm not sure if it's because his route was the last one I played but I really liked the way the romance was developed in Luca's route (his charisma, that voice ahh). But as a character, I'd have to go with Theo. He takes pride in his work, establishes boundaries, loves his family, is honest- I like how he found happiness in his choices (his route seemed the most realistic+satisfying)
2. Yess!! I enjoyed getting their bad endings the most though.
3. I have mixed feelings about this but probably the picnic at the graveyard scene. It was really funny seeing the mc and Tristan come to that realisation but seeing Tristan beat himself up later was sad :( aside from that, I enjoyed every scene with the cat in it (I wish adopting him was an option in all the routes)
4. YES. He is so strange, I am really curious what his deal is. (TBH I thought there would be some connection between him and the cat, like a hidden side perhaps?)
5. 100%! Luca's voice is heavenly haha (Oh also more of Theo when he scolds the MC haha + confident Tristan at the good end chapter)

edit: I PLAYED MARK'S ROUTE AND HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS 10/10. He's my fav now.  I have a soft spot for reformed LIs.

Luca was my favourite by far. Just love his easygoing manner, but gotta say I wasn't too pleased at the sort of ending bit when he gets that girl's number at the bar and the MC doesn't really get enough of a chance to call him out on that. But I really enjoyed his character development and the ending for him is admittedly very sweet.

I played through both Theo and Luca's routes, but wasn't really feeling it with Tristan. I love the lovably awkward trope but I think in Tristan's case it swung way too awkward for me, and I almost felt a little uncomfortable at points? No fault in the writing! I think his character just wasn't for me.

Favourite moment is probably listening to Luca's music and talking with him in the park. Just adore his personality and mannerisms. Might be a little obsessed at this point!

As for Mark, I think I would potentially enjoy a route like that, but only in the event that he's also rude to the MC instead of seeming to want to get into her pants. His tail-chasing comes off a little objectifying, and I'm not really feeling that vibe.

Overall, I think you guys did an amazing job, especially with the time you had. I appreciated the more mature approach to this game, exploring the themes of having to leave behind the things that make you happy in favour of pragmatism as we get older, and how we can re-examine our lives and rediscover those early loves. I like that the mc has enough self-esteem to say no to certain things or to stand up for herself. Great game :)

1. Mark (I love a complex character).  But I have to go with the musicians Theo and Luca for the real best bois.  Loved Lucas flintiness and Theo's old school charm.  I usually like bespectacled nerds but  Tristan rubbed me the wrong way.  That "stand up routine" and then what followed just told the story that this guy should be in therapy instead of dating.  Haha.  But dating in the real world you come across a lot of Tristans.  Ugh,

2.  Done!

3. Probably when Theo introduces you to his family.  Too cute.

4. Do I ever and don't you tone down that douchy-ness.  He's awesome with a chip on his shoulder.

5.  I love the voice acting but partial is good enough for me.  Would replay with an android version though.

Thanks guys!  Good job.

Alrighty! I finally got all the endings!

1. Which character was your favorite? Why? This is really hard and complicated. I almost cannot choose. Normally, I would not like Luca, I would love Tristan, and be most attracted to Theo. That's, funny enough, the order I went in. My point it, I ended up really loving all of them, even Luca, who I didn't think I would at all - he is actually kind of my favourite, I think. So, that's awesome.
2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color? Yes!
3. What's your favorite moment in the game? I like the serial killer jokes, I like Luca joking about how he said you could move in, and I like Tristan taking the cat.
4. Do you want a Mark route? Yes, my answer still stands. Definitely. Hearing the thoughts about the bad hand he was dealt, and seeing how close he and Theo may have been at some point.. I wanna know everything. Just like the other three.
5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced? Again, my answer still stands! Their voices are wonderful and dreamy. That said, it's perfectly fine the way it is, too! Like, really really.

Other than that, I really loved this game. I would play a million more just like it (same style, UI, quality, etc). This was just truly wonderful, and may easily be in my top ten. Thank you so much for that!

hello hello!!! just came here to finish answering the questions. i mean, some of the questions were kinda already answered in my thread/playthrough on twitter but anyway FSJNDFKGJNSDFKJGN

Theo is my favorite. it was since the first time i saw him and it will ever be. the main reason, of course, is his ponytail his personality, and the way he picks luca's iniciative and tristan's passivity and makes it into something more balanced. i like that in people. not too much forward nor too much passive. just taking their time to do things.

and well... to have that opinion i had to play all routes and get all good endings so yes i managed to make everyone regain their color!! ^_^

okay so. favorite moment. that's a hard question, really. i had several favorite moments but i think it were probably when they were discussing life things and talking about their goals and- ok i'm not fooling anyone i loved the cat scenes i admit

and no i'm not interest in a mark route, sorry tsukasayuki KJAENFKJSNFUSEFN

i'm not sure if i would replay it if it were fully voiced. i was already melting and having trouble looking at the screen because i was embarassed (yeah, embarrased by 2D hot men, that's me) so i'm really not sure. sorry :'D

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?

 Mark
I’m not really sure since I’m not finished but Luca is number 1 right now! His story was really cute (and also the only one I’ve completed lol)

2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

Just Luca, working on the others. I did manage to get 2 Mark endings tho

3. What's your favorite moment in the game?

 Seeing Luca’s name on the movie credits! It was nice to see that he made it <333

5. Do you want a Mark route?

 Yeth <3333  I enjoyed whenever he was on screen even if it was in a spiteful way when he said something stupid

7. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

 Yea ofc!! Would replay even without it honestly.

I love the art! I haven't finished it up yet but Im enjoying the plot

I just wanted to stop by and say.. how very dastardly of you: "A hot un-dateable character"... Yeah, you got us pegged. We definitely want a Mark route. Yes, please. Mmmhmm. Please and Thank you.

I haven't played all routes, so I'll save my answers for those in a bit. But I can say that I'd replay the game even if it wasn't fully voiced. Let alone if it was. It's wonderful. Congrats, good job, and thank you for all your hard work!

This game was CUTE.AS.HELL. I've had my eyes on it for a while since a saw your sprites on Twitter, I was stopped in my scrolling tracks when I saw the gorgeous drawings. The witing is on par with the designs so I couldn't be more satisfied!

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?

Tristan got me. I must say I got interested in the game because of Theo's and Luca's looks, but I can't resist a gentle nerd when I meet one. I also felt that his route was the smoothest of the three.

I loved both Theo and Luca as well, however for Luca I feel like the ending was missing something to be entirely satisfying to me. I get that it came with his character, but I would have loved something more official (and a clear "I like you") by the end.

1. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

Yes! Getting the good endings wasn't too easy or too hard, perfect for someone like me who usually plays with walkthroughs.

1. What's your favorite moment in the game?

The steamy moments. Heh.

1. Do you want a Mark route?

Why not? Not attracted to what we saw of his personnality, but since the writing is great I'd be curious to see how you guys play it out!

1. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

I'm not into voice acting, so that wouldn't make me want to replay the game. However, I can see myself playing it again in a few months or a year, as a kind of comfort game for when I need short fluffy stories. 

Thanks for your hard work, it was a really enjoyable experience <3

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?

Gah! Making me choose?!?! I felt a real connection with both Tristan and Theo. Both of them are well-written characters with great routes that left me feeling very happy at the good ends. Plus the va's were fantastic. If I had to choose just one I'd lean toward Tristan. He's just. So. Adorkable. And I absolutely love how his va hit that line at work "Just doing my job. Except not at all..." It was just *chef's kiss* Fake bravado trailing into defeatism, I really admire how they worked those emotions into a short line.

2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

Of course ;)

3. What's your favorite moment in the game?

Tristan talking about games as love stories, that man is a keeper.

4. Do you want a Mark route?

He'd need one hell of a redemption arc. I mean past trauma is not an excuse to be a creepy turd to everyone

5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

Well, Tristan's route at least!

And I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into the quality of life stuff. Being able to tweak the font and text box helps so much for us with vision quirks and the ability to hide the MC sprite is very thoughtful. Sometimes having a sprite that is too far from how you feel can trigger dysphoric feelings for people who like to self-insert. 

I've been so excited for this games release and it's even better than I hoped, you guys did a great job!!!

Hiiii! I love your game! I'm not finished with all the routes yet, but I think I'm in love already, so I just have to write some sort of a review, jhjhjk.

1. Theo all the way, he's totally my type. I'm a simp for tall and caring men with long hair.
2. Yup for Theo & Luca, Tristan, here I come.
3.  All the serial killer jokes in Theo's route, lol.
4.  I WOULDN'T SAY NO?  His backstory could be interesting & his voice actor did a great job.
5. I really like the way the MC's written, so I'd be down for a replay. And all the voice actors certainly were great.

Thank you for all the hard work!

luca. absolutely. bewitched me. heart & soul. and everything else omg he's so AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA it's rly a sweet story and the CAT the CAT SEALED THE ENTIRE DEAL when i knew he fed the cat i immediately went YEAH. SMASH. (tbh i saw silver hair and /gestures vaguely at everything/ i was like yeah i'm gonna smash that's it....) 

also i thought it was rly interesting, like, the fork between going to the bar vs using the app! not rly sure if there's a big difference but it was like, not one way was better than the other !! 

also re: mark. i feel like his route would be a massive i could fix him kind of route but also like my instincts are telling me i could make him worse instead lol 

sorry this is so messy but AAAAAAAAAAA cute story 10/10 love it !!!

The game's art had me all over it since the start of the jam, but seeing everything put together just made it even better!!! ❤️❤️

The game is so much fun and I loved spending time with Tristan 🥰 his fear of screwing up is very relatable 🥺 i want to hug him 😭And omg the CGs are so beautiful!!! 😍

Also! I loved seeing how the other characters appeared in other routes. It gave me a better view of the world building and the bond between them in the story. It was so cool!

You guys did an amazing job!! Congrats on the release!!! 🤗❤️

and yes omg pls!! I'd love a Mark route 👀❤️✨

1. Theo, though Tristan is a close second! I loved how sweet and earnest he was. I also loved his design. His freckles and ponytail are *chef's kiss*.

2. Yes! <3

3. Well, I really enjoyed the moments where the MC would explain otome games to the LIs lol. It was fun seeing their reactions. Theo completely misunderstanding her at the bar was great, and I thought it was sweet when he listened to her ramble on about them despite not really getting it. 

4. I mean... It'd be interesting to see how he can grow and change.

5. Probably not. I just don’t replay games a lot in general, and I think the game is fine as is. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the voice acting though, because I definitely did! The voices actors did great <3

Also, just wanted to say thank you for such a fun and cute game! I really enjoyed it!

Congrats on the release, I absolutely loved it! 

1. Tristan was my favorite, I love me a shy nerdy guy. But I liked Theo and Luca as well

2. Yes!

3. It's silly, but my favorite moment is probably when I got blocked for spamming "Keep walking" at Tristan. I actually got up from my computer when he asked me if I was QA. I am one, that is my actual job. I died. I also really liked Tristan's first chapter as a whole, with the standup bit and the conversation after.

4. Kinda lol, I love trash

5. Probably not any time soon, maybe somewhere down the line if I decide to replay the game

1. TRISTAN!!! hes exactly my type and i adore him sm <33

2.  nope, not yet! as of now i just finished tristan's good end

3.  any scene that had the cat in it

4. ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh from what i've seen of him no

5.  mmmmmm sure! the game as it is is fine for me tho <3

Ok, I really had such a good time playing this, and it was in the top 3 of the games I was looking forward to from this year's otome jam. I know it's only the 29th so they're not all out yet, but it's my fave I've played so far! Anyway, to answer the questions posed above...

Which character was your favorite? Why?

It's tough to say! Before playing, I was most interested in Tristan. After playing, I guess it's still Tristan, but I also really liked Luca, who surprised me because he was the LI I was the least interested in initially. 

Tristan I liked because he was just adorable. The character design was great, and I loved that he was kind of dorky and awkward and sweet. His whole personality was really endearing. And (spoilers!) he was the only guy to adopt the cat! I'm a sucker for stuff like that lol.

Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

Yes :)

What's your favorite moment in the game?

I liked (minor spoilers ahead) Tristan's standup routine, (even if it was slightly depressing lol) and Luca dealing with all his "fans."

Do you want a Mark route?

Yes! He's such a little troll, I'm curious what redeeming qualities he has lol

Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

Definitely. I really enjoyed the voice acting. I think it added a lot, and the actors did a wonderful job.

TL,DR: I really enjoyed the game, you should play it too (if you're reading this to decide the answer to that question)

My answers to the postgame questionnaire:

1. Which character was your favorite? Why?

Is it cheating if I pick two of them as my favorite? I liked Tristian and Theo the most :)

Tristian is the one whose route I played first because I knew at first glance that I would like him (I know myself well). Of course his ending would include adopting the cat and having pancakes. Sounds perfect to me. <3

Theo was the second route I played. I didn't go in with any expectations, and was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up connecting with him. In retrospect he might my favorite of the LIs design wise. He is very pretty. :) 

2. Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

Yes, on my first try too :) On a related note, the little splash texts(?) to describe the endings was a nice touch.

3. What's your favorite moment in the game?

I can't pick just one favorite moment! I can say that Tristian and Theo's introductions were both very memorable for me :D  Obviously I enjoyed the rest of their routes just as much, but it was a very strong start, haha. Oh, and whenever MC explained her love for otome games to the LIs I thought that was very sweet.

OH and in the beginning, when MC calls DoE Human Resources... for some reason I found the name hilarious and I just sat there cracking up for a moment xD

4. Do you want a Mark route?

Nope, not particularly, but I might check it out if one ended up being made.

5. Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

I don't generally replay games (and having fully voiced vs partially voiced isn't a huge factor for me personally) so probably not.

Some other thoughts I wanted to voice!

I liked all of the LIs, even if I didn't end up vibing with Luca as much as the other two. Writing wise, I thought it was quite grounded and everything felt very natural. Perhaps it was because MC felt relatable?  I don't know, Even though the game was short, I felt like I got a good picture of the characters and their stories. The art and game design/GUI as a whole was lovely. I appreciated the different font choices and the ability to use a dark mode :) The only critique I would want to make is the sound (just the sound balancing). 

I believe that's everything I'd thought of to say :) Thank you for making this game, and I would be happy to check out anything you might make in the future as well :D
