1. Which character did you like best?

They're all so cute in their own ways! I prefer otome games where the MC has a preset personality and they seem rare these days, so Maya was a breath of fresh air. If I have to choose a love interest, it would be Vivian. I'm very excited to see more of him and play his route. It's impossible to say since only Robin's route is available right now, but I have a distinct feeling that my preference is going to go: 1. Vivian 2. Nico 3. Robin. With that said, Robin's route was adorable and comforting and very cute.

2. Which was your favourite ending?

I only played through once and got Robin's best ending. I'm gonna go back and try to get the bad and friendship endings, but for now I can't really answer this question.

3. Did you manage to unlock the post-credits scene?

I did not. I don't think? Did I? Wait, was it the scene where Robin and Maya watch the commercial and decide to make a big ~move~? I can't remember if that was before or after the credits... I might have to go play again now. Edit: OH hAHaAHA I just went back and replayed to see what the extra scene was, but I randomly decided to do one thing differently this time and I got the post credit scene. It's adorable and I love it.

4. Anything else you'd like to ask or tell us!

Are people in the Coco fandom called Coconuts?

This was very cute, and I especially loved the art, UI, and the humor in the writing. It's such a cozy game and I want to play more.

Some random thoughts about the game in no particular order or clarity (**MINOR SPOILERS BELOW**)

-I love games where the MC has a best friend that isn't romanceable. Faye was wonderful. MORE FAYE.

-It's kind of funny to me (and a bit strange, maybe?) that Miles has a sprite/description on the itch game page but Jun doesn't? Maybe Miles is going to feature more prominently in future routes (probably Nico's), but he was only in one quick scene in the route I played--whereas Jun had about as much "screen time" as Faye? I'm looking forward to seeing how Miles earned a featured spot haha

- WHO IS ALTAIR?? WHATEVER HAPPENED WITH THAT?? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW

- I honestly half expected Vivian's roommate to be Robin lol

Anyway, great game! I can't wait to play more~~

thank you so much for taking the time to answer all our questions we are VERY VERY GRATEFUL to hear from you about your experience!!! we're really happy that you enjoyed the game, Nico and Vivian will be arriving soon so please anticipate them! also COCONUTS is a very inspired stroke of genius and we will now be calling them that in your honour. we are much obliged for this amazing fandom name.

and in response to your random thoughts...

1. DON'T WORRY FAYE WILL BE MAKING APPEARANCES IN THE OTHER ROUTES AS WELL! if u want to see more of her in the current release...there's always the friendship route ;;)

2. we only included characters who appear in the common route in the character cards! and HMMM you may or may not be making a rather astute prediction...BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAY THE REST TO FIND OUT!

3. Altair is a special guest we borrowed from our artist's other project! INQUIRING MINDS MAY KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM BY CLICKING THIS LINK: https://fishattic.itch.io/stand-by-me-demo

4. Robin and Vivian living together would really be a sight to see...but they DO have a connection which you may or may not have seen (depending on the number of affection points you got for Vivian)!

all in all thank you for your LONG JUICY REPLY!! we had a great time reading it and we'd be happy to answer any more questions you may have/ just chat about the game!

BRB going back to do the friendship route for more FAYE. And I did manage to get the scene with Vivian, which was adorable and made me love him and Robin both even more.

Thank you for such a fun, detailed response! I am now respectively looking at Stand By Me. And I'll stop clogging up the comment section.
