The writing/playthrough is very similar to Boyfriend To Death! Not a bad thing because I love BTD, but that was something I noticed while playing :) It isn't bad, nor is the price, because they did put in actual work and effort to make the game and all the art for it, so luckily if it isn't for you then you don't lose out on more than two dollars for their efforts :)
The game is fun enough! I gave it a shot and I think the fast paced writing and occasional option bugs personally kinda steers me in a direction of being glad I tried it but probably won't play through every route, but I do like what I ended up paying for! I would hope to see more in the future, maybe a YKMET thing where it's a revamp of the routes/game so we can see how far they've come as creators and devs and artists, but that may just be me wanting a bit more out of this, lol.
What I appreciate is it isn't THAT easy to die in game. In BTD I was STRUGGLING through Strade's route, and I was really grateful the options were less confusing in this game. Some options felt a bit rushed, like how I convinced him he gave me a booboo and he broke up with me lol, and sometimes the characters were hard to understand, but for a first time game it's all REALLY well done and something I do really hope we can see more of in the future. Because seeing the teeth route was very disturbing in such a unique way, it played on a fear I didn't know I had==I would really like to see some more horror elements if there's a future for the game :)
So, while it didn't end up being something I personally can see myself playing again, I am still glad I tried it and would encourage you too as well if this is something up your alley and you're looking for something similar to BTD! It's only 2 dollars so to anyone complaining it's okay if it ends up being something you don't want to play again, you're just supporting their efforts :)

Hi :D I really liked the demo and the small snippets I got to see about your character as well as the options we got to make and what they would show us about him, I ended up playing the entire game and all the options, lol, and I really liked what I saw :) There's a lot I like about the game that other comments have gone over and I don't want it to feel like a copy and paste of what they're saying, but honestly it was enough to have me really interested and keep it in my library. (I also feel like another game/character inspired this one by the content warning page which drew me in, because I have been LOOKING for more games with what was in there sobsob) It's one of the few games I make sure to keep checking for updates :)
I really want to follow the further development; and if you're ever in need of a free writer and/or a tester for what has been further developed, I'd be more than excited to offer to try and help move development along and take some weight off your shoulders if interested :)
Hope you're doing well, and I hope the development continues to go well! (Also I tried looking at your ToyHouse link on Tumblr(?) and it didn't work D: Just in case that wasn't already known <3)
I really hope we can romance Kevin. Me and my friend got so hyped when he said we can hang out next week--he could have just said no, but he ended up wanting to make time for us :) This was actually my introduction to Spooky Month, and I hope the next update gives us some more Kev, he seems so sweet, bless.
edit: fixed a few typos
!!MINOR DAY 4 SPOILERS AHEAD, DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED A BIT!!
AMAZING UPDATE!! I went back to see how my options affected the game and seeing me encourage Ren actually had an impact on what happened genuinely made my jaw drop. i went back and saw it was different--and I LOVE that. I don't like Teo and I chose some bad options only actually half expecting consequences for my actions, but to actually see them happen had me sat in my chair staring at my screen for so long, lol. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I wish I could have stayed the night with him but it led to me getting main menu'd, lol.
I went back and chose some very different options, like encouraging Teo's behavior on the day 4 update and even being like "oh yeah no hes pookie ren, haha" and I half expected to see that result in bad consequences, but seeing Ren ask if he needs to be more like Teo really made me think; well shit. Maybe he's going to try and observe some of his habits anyways, that's the only reason I can really see for Ren not TWEAKING out, lol.
The whole closet scene with Ren had me kicking my feet. I hope for more instances in the future we can do something like that--as someone who's Demiromantic + Demisexual I REALLY appreciate nothing is being forced on us. Like he genuinely respects our boundaries and doesn't want to force anything and even takes a step back--I was SWOONING.
One thing I do really hope to see is more save slots. We have a lot of options which trust me, I love SOO much, but 6 save slots with only 4 files per slot isn't enough for the 4 days we have so far, it honestly wasn't even enough for the 3, even when I tried getting the quicksave involved :'') I need to go through and play it more a few times because. I accidentally played it streamer mode enabled my first time and had no chance of seeing how nsfw he could be when I really tried HHHHHHH MY FAULT MY FAULT, but yeah ! More save options would be great for a future update, esp for people who like to go back (like me hehe) and see different options leading to different things.
But this was a REALLY good update in whole. I even noticed the dialogue flowed a lot more naturally and the characters seemed to talk like actual people most the time, and it was refreshing to see the small changes made that made a really big impact on the game as a whole; it helped make it really enjoyable :) Really looking forward to the next one!!
I'm interested in playing, but I see some concern floating around about both the game itself and the MC -- would the demo remain 15 dollars or would it be brought down when the full game is released? And will the MC have customizable pronouns/gender options available? Thank you sm in advance <3 Good luck in developing :)
I really liked the game :) I only did one play through so far; the writing? Resurrected me from my writers block, gave me motivation to write again, all of the characters and the way they speak and interact had my writers brain just going brrr /pos. I can't think of anything I disliked; I was warned ahead of time and bOY OH BOY did day 2 deliver for some warnings in the nsfw download /lh, and I liked the bit of lore we got to get about ourselves and the school/city. I loved the amount of options we got; after being traumatized by games where we get hardly any options /lh this was REALLY amazing, had me twirling my hair and giggling every time an option to make Sol jealous came up. and i regretted it almost instantly after when crowe came back into play and i worried for his safety i was in tears and invested lol. There were only a few times I was like "oh man I would have liked having an option there", and honestly that's mostly due to me getting excited about the characters and trying to scrape the barrel for a few more seconds of interaction with them, lolol.
SUPER excited for the next update !! this is one of the few games ill have to learn how to continue updating. this is my first laptop and my first time downloading files HHHH, so, congrats on being the first game to officially have my attention and making me wanna learn how to keep up with the future updates :D very excited for future updates, hope you're taking care in the meantime <3
When you boot up the game go to the third line that's on the side, it should be the one that gives 3 rows in red and 5 red sliders ! Go all the way to the last row, and click on the option above the WHITE one currently picked!! I realized after translating it was in Korean. I see someone downvoted your comment and still didn't help so I wanted to out of pure spite instead of deleting the game and taking the L like I would have normally lol, so now we can both play it :) have fun
Hihi :) I don't know if you'll see this since you're busy on your new game, but I just wanted to comment on how much I've surprisingly enjoyed your games. I'm a very sensitive person to all things horror and I thought I'd hate BTD, but something just clicked with it. Maybe some unresolved childhood trauma /lh, but Strade's route led me down a rabbit hole I never expected to fall down. The way you write these characters is genuienly so interesting and captivating, no matter how depraved some of them may be I just sit and stare at how all these characters are, their motives, how they justify what they do--it's something I never previously enjoyed, but you managed to make it immersive and something that I've been clinging onto ever since I found it. The characters are all complex in some way, and the new game you're working on has me so genuienly excited to see what more we can see from Strade and Ren in the YKMET release.
This is one of the few games that pushed me to getting a laptop that can support games, and I'm really glad I did. I haven't finished all of them, probably not even close to understanding the whole story presented to us with all the characters, lol, but I am absolutely looking forward to even more. Good luck on the development of YKMET, words alone can't express how excited I am to see this game come back to life, and I hope it get's the recognition it deserves.
(P.S., if you have any availible slots for beta testers when the new game is ready for testing I'd love to apply if wanted <3)
I had to make an account to comment on this.
I'm very lucky this was availible for desktop playing because I have an old chromebook that barely runs anything, this was genuienly the best game experience I've ever had. I've played a handfull of dating sims but genuienly nothing compares to this one--maybe it's the love I already have for the character that makes me biased but you manage to capture his personality PERFECTLY and the little moments that kept popping up had me giggling and twirling my hair the entire time. I legit forgot to play the game for a bit because I just wanted to flirt with this man lol, THAT'S how good it was. Everything was so creative--when it was dark and the text was like his computer I had to wake up my best friends to show them both, lol, I was genuienly blown away by this. Everything about it had me excited for a game for the first time in AGES. I literally told myself yesterday I wouldn't make an account on here but...here we are, haha (this is a good thing :) ), I genuienly want to follow the development and support it however I can. This is one of the few game's I'd want to spend money on to make sure you can all finish it, this is the best thing I've seen in a long while :) Keep up the amazing work guys <3
