(+2)

(+1)

Please iOS Port

(+5)

I started playing this last night and let me just say, I AM FLOORED!! /pos. I adore the art style, music and the voice acting so much. You can really tell that a lot of love and work has been put into this game so far and I eagerly await for future updates! :D I do have one question however, who are the current romance options in the game? (Part of me is hoping that Oz is/or may become one in future updates XD) 

iirc, currently it's: atlas, mike, jamie, gus and tessie (though Oz *does* seem to be popular, so...who knows)

(+3)

LOVE LOVE!!!!

the character designs are so cool!! ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧..

I NEED AUGUST .⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠(⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠.

(+1)

This game is awesome! The art style, the animations, the writing, the story... EVERYTHING! I hope we get to see more of Atlas as a dateable! I LOVE HIM SM! Hope there are more updates soon!

(1 edit) (+3)

I finished a couple days ago, will be checking daily for updates, also did i fuck up by choosing the august romance option? (I fucking need madhouse mike)

(+1)

this is gonna be fun. a love sim with... COMBAT!!!! :DD

(+1)

So cool I just finished the game and I love it

Everythign about this is AMAZING RRRAAAAAGH

where are u bro...

(+5)

when will there be another update?

(+7)

We're currently hard at work with the next update, it shouldn't be too much longer but it's taken a bit to get it to where we're satisfied with the result!

(+2)

I want a new chapter so bad, I'm missing Mike so much :,(


Other than that, this game is wonderful, I love it so much, the art style, the characters, and especially the music in the game, everything is so lovely. I hope everything is going well in the creation of the game.

We love you drowsy!

(+4)

In the future, will there be certain routes for each dateable character, or will it be a linear story, dating everyone you come across?

For a game tagged Dating Sim, the page here on Itch.io doesn't really convey how the whole dating thing works/will work, is it more clear in the actual game itself?

(+2)

Is there dating in this game or is it just fighting?

Just got to the werewolf scene and so far the game is fantastic

well written, amazing art, and unique gameplay (at least unique for me) great game so far 10/10









PS: love the joke about the moth driving into a lamp post

Just out of curiosity when will we get more character customization options? Not complaining, I am just a really big fan of character customs and want to make a even cooler character! 

there is so much to love about this game, so thank you for creating these characters and sharing their world!!! <3 <3 <3

(+4)

i need more mike desperately

live laugh august

Does anyone know how to download this on Linux I tried the android version and it kept crashing. 

For me it seems fine (I am on android) so I dont realy know, maybe you have the wrong version installed? Idk

Grr-
If you use linux just download the pc build, open terminal in it (Or use CD to where the game is) and just run "sh" followed by the name of the SH file!

If you're new to linux i suggest you looking at Ubuntu's documentation and tutorials- this could help.

is it bl tho?

(+1)

Well you get to chose your own pronouns so yeah I'd say so

thx....def playing it

(+5)(-1)

Just wondering when is the new update going to be released because I miss seeing my precious boi Atlas who's my fave out of the cast of characters.

LÄMP

(1 edit) (+12)

Damn, I'm a dude but ngl i wanna kiss the frog guy.

(+6)

I give him a few months.

a few months for what?

(+9)

Everyone wants to kiss madhouse.

(+2)

can confirm

I also can confirm

how do you download it on iPad?

It's not available unless using a paid app using Ren'py reader, which won't work on it.


OOOOR
If you have a pretty good ipad, you could sideload QEMU and Virtual box to run Windows or Linux and install the game on it.

Ty

haven't gone far in the game yet, but OH MY GOD is this a great visual novel

the story, puns and gameplay are all fire but the artstyle😭🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️ it somehow outshines em all, I wish I could eat it
