itch.io

yoooo. thanks for the sweet and thoughtful comment. having ppl resonate with the symbolism and themes in the game makes me so happy, and extra excited and motivated to finish the project. appreciate u very very much. 🙏🐸

was so nice to meet you and hang out. you are wonderful and your work is really brilliant, and so important <3<3 thanks for being awesome!!!!

yo thanks for stopping by!!! would love to get some translations done, after release will be looking into it. thank u ❤️❤️❤️

hiya, thanks sm for playing! no full version release date yet, but its coming ""SOON"" <3 <3

hi hennersbbq thanks for the kind words && for holding us accountable lol!!! you can read more about why we're taking ages (grovelling for forgiveness) in our blog but essentially development has been slow due 2 us working on other projects!!!! sorryy

to answer your questions the GBC ROM will definitely come with the itch.io purchase, and most likely be packaged along with the .exe for the Steam purchase too.

in terms of release date, we dont want to jinx anything but will definitely post abt it when its close! hopefully SOON™ <3<3

hellll yeah we love a phone game gamer!!! such a timesink if only bc i made it really hard and janky by accident and then decided i liked that

ayo, thanks for this bug report! Im 95% sure I know how to fix it, so will clean that up in the next build <3 <3 thanks for playing!!!

a few more months (and 1 million trillions dollarz), hehe

really appreciate ur comment <3 so glad it brought you back to the ancient fanfic times!!!!

thanks 4 asking! atm im unsure, it might make the release complicated. will try to make it as accessible as possible tho!!

idk my BFF jill?

Hiya, thx for asking -- ive been meaning to post an updaaaate so i'll probably make a wee blog post or smn going over how progress on the full versn is going ((and what ppl can expect!!)) still very keen to get it wrapped this year, and v. much appreciate every1s patience while its bein worked on. (tl;dr its basically just 1.5 ppl working on it ""part time"" so its slow cookin)

ayo!! small kiwi town solidarity!! thanks sm for the lovely comment, sorry to hear u got confused lol!!! theres some quality of life stuff we'll put in the full version thatll hopefully help w/ that (in the meantime u can check out a no commentary playthru on YouToob 4 guidance if needed) 🙏🐸

yooo, thanks sm for playing!!! 

thanks for the feedback on the graveyard scene!! i'll be making this part clearer in the final release 4 sure, haha.

if it is bugged -- i think you could try going into the crypt in the bottom right of the map again (check 58:25 in the vid) and just check if you can reset the trigger for the gorse bushes / lighter quest that comes after.

omg! thanks so much for reaching out, the Queer Them All initiative sounds fantastic and translation is defs something i'd be interested in for this project. will get in touch with you to learn more!!!

lol. yea i shoulda put a jump scare warning for the free feet pic

lmaooooo yess! u have a way with words 🔥

yo, thanks sm for that!!! & heck yea -- graduates from the myspace school of life gotta sick 2gether. 🔥🔥

thank uu sm!!! working hard on getting it all wrapped up so we can beat the cliffhanger allegations ❤️❤️❤️

yea ❤️

hiiiii! sorry to hear u got stuck -- with the gorse bushes u need 2 get a lighter from the NPC who is smoking ((near the graveyard carpark.))

if ya peep this video at around 59:45 you can see the steps to do this (and u can check back if u've missed a step):

hope that helps!! thanks for reaching out <3

yo. thanks for taking the time to play, & leaving this lovely comment 😭 the details u pointed out are some of my favourites. the silence at grandma's grave, hints of deeper problems + exploring and finding memes... all silly (maybe) but important bits i really wanted folks to enjoy.

reading ur thoughts on the project is a bit like looking at it with fresh eyes. its very motivating and cathartic. so thank u for sharing. hopefully u are able to check out the full release when its ready. much love ty ❤️🐸

thx for playing!!! and yea i feel u. im sure they'll get there eventualllly......... 👀💋😘

ayo. glad u've enjoyed the project!! ❤️ thanks sm fer the lovely comment!!!! update is definitely "IN PROGRESS" (maybe dont check every day tho lmaooo) 🙏🐸

🙏 lol! ((honestly tht would b an even more accurate title / description 4 this))

wooooooo!! TY. cant wait to share it when itz readyyy ❤️❤️

❤️❤️❤️

🙏🐸❤️

ayo! great question! plan is to have the full release on both Steam and Itch, ideally both as an .EXE file and a GameBoy rom. may potensh look at putting it up on some other storefronts (+ a limited physical release & Nintendo Switch release if poss)

Kia ora! ayoooo, thanks sm for stopping by, really appreciate all of the love & enthusiasm from the Pavs peeps (lmao the SWEEP). Can't wait to complete the release, happy to flick u an advance copy closer to the date if u wanted to give any feedback!! <3

Ahh tysm, really appreciate that!!! yea definitely wanted to evoke some ancient MySpace evils for those who were around 2 experience it <3

aww yeeaah! thanks sm for ur support!! tamagotchi maaay not make it in to the release build (rip) bt its on the cards 4 sure. post-release will be looking in2 translation, soooo may reach out then depending on how things are goin!! ❤️❤️

hiii, no worries its a little unclear, haha. u need to interact w/ the chest of drawers in Ken's room (positioned in the top left corner). select "Get dressed" after u get prompted.

will make it more clear next update <3

*very* tempting 2 turn it into a horror, hahaaa. maybe for a sequel / prequel. would be cool 2 explore darker themes! ❤️ thnks for playing!!

haha, no worries!! tbf no major updates **yet** but... its on the way for april ((fingers crossed etc)) ✿◠_◠✿

thats super kind, thank u sm!!! glad 2 have some Ken fans around 💪🐸

<3<3 cheers for that!!! honestly super excited (+ a lil nervous) to get it all done, haha. will be a good milestone tho

❤️ thank uuuu! && yesss i also crAvE 8bit queer content. there shall be more! ❤️

appreciate ur comment sm! yea rlly wanted 2 set it somewhere 'real' instead of a made up place like USA. a bold choice 2 b sure ❤️

ur totally right abt weighing up the ~gameplay vs narrative~ and kind of opting to not pad things out. the idea was to make a short, story-focused game (so this demo is actually abt 1/2 of the total content, haha). thanks again for taking the time 2 share ur kind thoughts (ᵔᵕᵔ)

thanks sm! slowly gtting the full version done ❤️
