Impeccable dialogue and hilarious antics blend with an emotional core and some amazing character designs to create one of the most exciting demos of recent memory.
We discussed our opinions on this game in detail in our podcast. Check it out if ya want
This game is very cute! The art style is incredible, the voice acting is just as great, the story is phenomenal, and, for it being just a demo, I'd DEFINATELY enjoy every moment of a full game. Just in case, spoilers for the rest of the comment. Don't look until you played, since this is an amazing game!:
First heading into the game, Atlas was my immediate interest, because, well, moth boye. But the story and progression actually made me lean more into Madhouse Mike because of his lovable, nearly Beetlejuice-like voice and honestly hilarious personality. The boss fight with him was expertly made, and quite unexpected in a dating sim of all things! The "roll for effectivity" was also a neat mechanic, and again, unexpected in a dating sim! I'm relieved Mike didn't actually die, and the hugging scene melted my heart. I'm currently replaying it again just to find LITERALLY EVERYTHING LMAO.
A few minor issues/suggestions I'd make: That while selecting the He/Him pronouns, me trying to get into the game as a male character, the voice and character seemed a bit.. feminine for my liking? Of course, I'm not saying men can't be feminine! I would just like a little character selection, or if not (which I completely understand if not, that's a lot of work lmao), different sounding voice lines. They sort of threw me off and left me withdrawn from the experience. Again, the rolling of the dice mechanic Though I wish it was elaborated a little on how it worked since I was a tad confused at first. That's about it! Overall, an incredible experience and beautifully made game!
havent played it yet but im about to download it. looks super cool!!
So I've been playing it a little bit. I love it so far Atlas is definetly my favorite. personally (this is jsut me) i was confused by seeing the mc because I didn't realize that was supposed to be my character- NOT COMPLAINING about how they look I just would have expected a more...generic looking charater. idk if thats the right word. but still really cool, will definetly keep playing
The full game will probably not be free, but depending on Patron support and donations, we would like to keep it at the very least low cost, or ideally free if the support is there!
Searched about this problem and discovered its caused by the way the files are compiled and make it uncompatible with old android devices, so you can check a way to solve the bug here:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32327268/cannot-load-library-soinfo-relocate.. or just let a warning that it may be incompatiblewith old Android versions
i am genuinely so excited for the full game to come out!! the fact that the narrator broke the fourth wall when i quit the game and then came back right at the start was so exciting for me. the art and the voice acting were my favorite parts for sure. i also think that the sprites moving was really cool!
This is so awesome! I love the art and battling scene, but I felt like the battle was a bit long and repetitive. I think adding some more dialogue options would help, but it's just my opinion (and maybe just my run through)! The demo is very promising, and I can't wait to see the full version! Can't wait!
I've only known Atlas for a day, but if anything were to happen to him I'd kill everyone in this room and then myself /lh (seriously tho, I love him so much)
I'm curious, are there any plans to add NSFW content to the game or will the game be revolving around connecting with a chosen character? I don't mind either way, I'm just curious to know.
I beat Mike first time due to immense luck. I guess the best way to beat him is by using one turn to heal up if needed and the second turn to attack, obviously keeping your friend's health high is a high priority.
I just loooove what I have seen so far!! The art is stellar, the concept is stellar, and the cryptids are just my vibe. I do just hope we get a female romanceable option.
Can we really not date Madhouse? He seems really nice even if he tried to take your body as a vessel in all but the pasts in the past. He is a really fun character I definitely can't wait to see more of him even if we can't date him and all. This game is amazing so far love everything about it!
just to be clear this is the demo which can be played for free? I don't mind paying for the whole thing and it looks great, it just ya know a full one is fine and sounds great and I like the artwork.
Hey, I'm on a MacBook (IOS 11.1) and it's not letting me download the game, saying that it's not a valid download file. Does anyone have a solution, or do I just have to wait until the game is updated to be compatible with the new IOS?
That's a shame. You are missing out on a ton of great games where the main character isn't a guy, like Horizon Zero Dawn, Hellblade, Tomb Raider, Celeste, Half-Life: Alyx, RE 2 and 3, Metroid...
Huh? What are you talking about? I was talking about a vn in which I set my character as male and give him my name but turns out to be a lady, if i play tomb raider I'm obviously expecting to play as Lara and not as me lol
My bad, dude. I misunderstood your comment. Based on your wording, it sounded like you couldn't be immersed in a game if you weren't able to play a guy. My apologies.

Will Do!
i am absolutely in love with atlas currently
i am genuinely so excited for the full game to come out!! the fact that the narrator broke the fourth wall when i quit the game and then came back right at the start was so exciting for me. the art and the voice acting were my favorite parts for sure. i also think that the sprites moving was really cool!

I think adding some more dialogue options would help, but it's just my opinion (and maybe just my run through)! The demo is very promising, and I can't wait to see the full version! Can't wait!
I can smell tons of fan arts when this game is finished ;)
they are too human-like and “cutesy” looking for me; but I sincerely hope the more vanilla monster lovers like this game :)) it’s very well made!!!
So amazing! I love the art and pretty much everything about this demo is so promising! I look forward to seeing the end results :D
I normally turn off voice acting but it's actually amazing in this! Love the art, the animations are great, can't wait for the full game
Mike reminds me of the conductor from A Hat in Time O_O love me some misunderstood green ghostman
I've only known Atlas for a day, but if anything were to happen to him I'd kill everyone in this room and then myself /lh (seriously tho, I love him so much)
I'm curious, are there any plans to add NSFW content to the game or will the game be revolving around connecting with a chosen character? I don't mind either way, I'm just curious to know.
There won't be any NSFW content! Just connecting as friends or romantically with the Dateable cast
Good this game is too pure to add that
I beat Mike first time due to immense luck. I guess the best way to beat him is by using one turn to heal up if needed and the second turn to attack, obviously keeping your friend's health high is a high priority.
Can I kiss mike and mothman...?
Heeey! Is mike's fight endless or can you actually beat it?
And I do really enjoy it so far
the madhouse fight is beatable, yes!
I love this demo, Atlas and Mike are baby! can't wait for the full game. remember to take your time on this tho, there's no rush!
Will there be a way to be Mike's host or co-host later on?:O
Who knows? You'll have to wait and see
Something worth waiting for! ❤
Is there any way to see the green uh human character in the game? I scouted through the demo a bit, but didn't find anything.
wait where can i get the full game if this is a demo?
they are working on the full game as we speak
thx
who made the art of the game? please
Mikey is our lead artist!

ive found nosehouse and dallas
Just got a notification that this game just updated but its still 0.12.1 what changed?
The game has not been updated yet
If they update the Devlog/do a new post it shows updated on the count/page, too. So I am guessing it was that.
I just loooove what I have seen so far!! The art is stellar, the concept is stellar, and the cryptids are just my vibe. I do just hope we get a female romanceable option.
Can we really not date Madhouse? He seems really nice even if he tried to take your body as a vessel in all but the pasts in the past. He is a really fun character I definitely can't wait to see more of him even if we can't date him and all. This game is amazing so far love everything about it!
Mike will be a romamce option! He's just not one of the frontrunners like Atlas
My day has gotten better and somehow even with this game being the best ever it gets even better then the best. Thanks for responding!
AH! YAY! thank you T-T (I got a bit of green goo stuck to my heart after he hugged me so I was wondering that too and Im so happy to hear this)
just to be clear this is the demo which can be played for free? I don't mind paying for the whole thing and it looks great, it just ya know a full one is fine and sounds great and I like the artwork.
The demo is free, yes!
I'm using the desktop app and I can't install the game, non of the download options are available on the dropdown menu [windows 10, pc.]
We'd recommend using the site, and if you have an android device, to use that as an alternative download option instead
Oh dios! Donde estaba esto toda mi vida?!💜💜💜
The "crunch" at the end... 0 _ 0
Hey, I'm on a MacBook (IOS 11.1) and it's not letting me download the game, saying that it's not a valid download file. Does anyone have a solution, or do I just have to wait until the game is updated to be compatible with the new IOS?
It should be compatible, so maybe try adjusting your settings? Here's a IOS support link that may help, hopefully.

why is that even if I pick I'm a dude the mc is still the same lady? Is that a glitch or something?
I suspect that the main character is intended to remain the same, but you are choosing the pronouns that they prefer.
oh.... I can't get very immersed like that ^^"
That's a shame. You are missing out on a ton of great games where the main character isn't a guy, like Horizon Zero Dawn, Hellblade, Tomb Raider, Celeste, Half-Life: Alyx, RE 2 and 3, Metroid...
Huh? What are you talking about? I was talking about a vn in which I set my character as male and give him my name but turns out to be a lady, if i play tomb raider I'm obviously expecting to play as Lara and not as me lol
