Hey!
Loved the characters and premise of the game! Had a great time playing it. The art was great, as well as the music and writting!
I'm wondering tho, does Matilda's route end in the student's council? Or did I miss something?
Hi! CG/BG artist here! I'm glad you liked Next To You ❤️ The game currently has two completed routes (Wit and Lucas). But there's more to come!
Monster school fun!
I am really impressed by the size of the project, you have already implemented quite a bit.
The characters are pretty cute. Matilda is awesome! And emo Lucas. was also a delight.
I really loved your world-building with the monsters and humans and how they try to coexists. Love how you addressed social issues in you game.
There is a bug on the Lucas route (which hasn't be yet completed yet, so no big deal) that you have probably already found but I thought I might mention:
Thank you for making this game. Looking forward to playing the completed game!
Thank you so much for playing Next To You and for your feedback! I'm really happy you liked it, everyone worked really hard on it and I'm glad the effort shows!
I apologize for the error you found, it has been fixed and updated on the game page. Thank you for letting me know!
