I'm always happy to hear that it makes people nostalgic, it means a lot to me ♡

We really hope to land the final release before 2025/early 2025, though...unfortunately it seems it might not be the case. I'll be able to make another update in Winter, after seeing how much progress was done by the writer. But for now I still can't tell much nor make any promises, I'm afraid.

You aren't dumb at all, for that the french version isn't in the demo anymore (but it will be in the final release !) and that it's my mistake for forgeting to remove the information...
As for Fujiwara Bittersweet, I haven't took care of the translation yet and still debating if I will ^^"
Sorry for the inconvenience !

Aww thank you for the kind words, and it always makes me so happy to know that it can be a confort game for someone✿❤

Thank you ! Hopefully I won't release the full game too far in the future, though I still don't have any approx release date x)
But I'm happy that you are looking forward for it !❤

Thank you so much, It makes me super that happy you liked the new demo this much ! ✿

Thank you ! I'm happy you loved it and looking foreward for the full release !❤

Thank you so much for your kind words ! ❤

Thank you so much for the kind and positive comment, it really means a lot to me♡
Also...I might actually have good news for you, but...yup ! I was already basically planning to include time skip after each Sweet routes credits ~
I'm also planning on doing a childhood arc where you follow each characters lives from young kid to approx middle school (Aya included !) to have more details on what made them the way they are as high schoolers and adults later.

As for knowing what happens to other characters when we're not playing there respective routes, I'm not sure I can include it properly and smoothly, but I'll try to think of a way to do that. Maybe as some kind of bonus once you finish a route ? But I'm not making any promises just in case I'm not able to include it x)

Thank you again for loving the game, I hope you'll like the full remake too and I can't wait to share more snippets of it✿

Hello, don't wory it's totally okay to ask and I understand your concern (I'd be too, if I was in your shoes). I was planning on making an update in a few days, after checking things with the writer.
She had it really rough these past few months and I didn't want to rush her while she was recovering, but I need to discuss things one last time with her before doing an update.

As for the project, it's still in developement, but...it has been slowed down more than we though due to several unexpected turns of event in some of the team members lives. I'll talk about what's next more in details in the next update, hopefully in a few days.

Sorry for the lack of progress report as I was waiting for the right moment to post anything about it, thank you for cheking in and don't hesitate to ask anything if you have further concerns or questions✿

It always put a big smile on my face when people say Fujiwara is comforting/nostalgic for them. Truly and sincerely thank you, from the bottom of my heart (not gonna lie, it also makes me a tiny bit emotional, haha)♡
Thank you for all the kind words, love and support, it really is a great motivation for me to continue despite all the ups and downs✦

I'm happy you like Toshio and the game so far !✿

Thank you for the feedback ~
I can totally understand the fact that you prefer 1st person POV, but unfortunately I'm more more comfortable writing in 3rd person as it will be easier for me to includes other characters' thoughts (not just Aya's), which I think would help the readers to understand the characters' feelings better. I'm taking notes though, maybe for a future game✦
I'm super happy you still like the game so far despite your preference, it means a lot for me ! ♡

Thank you ! I still don't have any release date though, but I'm working a bit on it everyday ~

Thanks to you for loving the game and your kind words !♡

Thank you so much for your feedback, it really helps !
I'm glad you liked the demo despite not being very fond of the new way of presenting Haru, I'm taking notes✿
As for why I made it in the prologue is because people who were upset about Haru's not being trans nor biologically female said they felt like they were betrayed/baited, so...I decided to reveal it as soon as possible in the remake to avoid any more confusion and misunderstanding but as you might guess, it's just impossible for me to please everyone so I'm trying my best and doing a few compromises. The roof scene in the new game might be a bit out of place so I'll try to think of something else for the final, maybe a bit more tamed, but...I'm not sure I'll change it in the end...It's not a definitive 'no' though, I just don't want to make any promises if ever it doesn't happen x)
✧Thank you again for your feedback, it's takken into account !✧

I'm glad you like it so far, thank you for the kind words !✿♡

Aww I'm so happy that it makes you nostalgic, it means I did something righ...right ?✿

Yes we areee !!! (> w <)/

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the demo so far and hope you'll enjoy the final game when it releases !✿
The previous game (this one will be a remake of the previous one) was more violent further in the story, so I'm trying to somewhat tame it for the new version without totally changing it x)

Yes ! But it's only the demo though x)

I'm glad it was tears of joy (> w <)

Haha yes, it does start a bit...on the horror side xD
Fortunately it doesn't last too long haha
I'm happy you like the game nonetheless♡

Yes I have a discord ~
It's a bit "hidden", but you can access it by clicking Aya's chibi on the game's page ^^

Nawww you're making me blush, I'm not sure I deserve all these compliments ! But don't get me wrong, it does make me super happy that you think this fondly of me, thank you ♥✿

I'm so happy that you liked the game this much and that you are looking forward for the remake as well, it means a lot for me♡
I'm a bit slow working on it these days, but fingers crossed I'll be able to release the demo/prologue around the end of next week.
✧✿Thank you again for the kind words, it really gives me motivation!✿✧

I read your review from A to Z and it makes me so happy that you loved the game that much ! Thank you so so much for all the kind words, it really do means a lot for me and motivates me even more for the remake! Hopefully you'll like it too ♡

Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot for me ♡
And I'm happy you loved the game this much and looking forward for Fuji:RE, I hope you'll enjoy it as well !✦

A good amount of people found Haru's route transphobic and I'm sincerely sorry for that. From what I understood from all the comments (mostly on steam) about how Haru's route was twisted, this is greatly due to the fact that my english was really poor at the time and that I failed to convey the message I had in mind, resulting to people thinking I voluntarily depicted Haru in a ill manner, which was
obviously not my intention.

Right now I'm working on a remake where hopefully it will be more clear for everyone that Haru is a cis boy simply crossdressing as a response/self-protection because of his view of the world around him and isn't actually a trans person. I do feel really bad for the people who felt hurt or betrayed because of their expectations and my poor writing at the time, so I'll try my best to make it extra clear from the get go✦♡

I hope it clears a bit the confusion ~

Aww thank you for the kind words, it makes me so happy !♡
Hopefully I'll be able to work on a longer version someday✦

Hello ~
Unfortunately, I am not planning on making Fuji:RE more gender neutral as Aya is one of my OCs with a set gender (as well as the other characters), personality, name, etc THOUGH feel free to mod the og game as you want, as long as it's purely for personal use and not promoting your version as the original. The game's files of the current game aren't locked so you can change whatever you want (still for personal use) and I'm planning to not lock the remake either so you'll be able to mod it too when it releases✿

P.S : You might already know this game, but have you tried the Our Life series from GBPatch ? This is an amazing and wholesome visual novel with a good amount of customization, so it might actually fit your taste and preferences better✦

I just finished watching it, thank you for playing one of my games again !♡
It made me chuckle, your reactions are always so funny x)
As for the game itself, I teamed up with someone else because it was a game jam. They worked as the programmer and I'm so glad they accepted to participate with me (I took care of the writing and art), else I wouldn't be able to code all of that myself !
Thank you again for this let's play, it really made my day ✿

Hello, sorry for the late answer !
Yes, the idea of Fujiwara Bittersweet is still a thing ~
It's on pause right now though, as I'm working on other projects (Fujiwara:REmake is one of those, I update sometimes on my twitter account and my discord server), but hopefully I'll be able to work on it sooner than later after I'm done !
Thank you again for loving the game this much, it really means a lot for me ♡
P.S : There is little crumbs of Fujiwara in my other game called "Hello Friend", if ever you are curious✦

Hehe glad you noticed the Fujiwara and Blooming Panic references ~
And thank you so much for loving the game(s), it makes me so happy ! (> w <)/
Also don't worry about the caps, it actually makes me smile to see how enthusiastic you are♡✦

Hello, sorry for the late answer !
The release will unfortunately be delayed from our original date (the english version at least, as I'll have to work on the french version after) and the writer estimated that her work on the project would be done sometime in 2024. Then we'll have to make the proofread, fix bugs, playtest, etc, and hopefully the final release will be there before 2025 ~
Sorry again for the lack of news on itchio, though I do actually update from time to time on Twitter and Tumblr. Here are the links if you don't want to miss anything about the project :
- Twitter : https://twitter.com/mbvn_ 
- Tumblr : https://www.tumblr.com/magicbench

Thank you for your support and your patience ! And don't hesitate to ask if ever you have more questions and concerns, I will gladly answer them✿

I'm sorry, I would prefer a let's play with your commentary and opinions as I like to have feedback and reactions from the streamers/players, so if it's just the walkthrough without your voice over I'll have to decline ^^"
But still, thank you for the offer !

By uploading, do you mean a let's play where you talk over, makes comments and saying your thoughts about the routes ?

Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed it ! ♡

Thank you so much for considering supporting us !💖
For this project however, we won't take additional money (I assume you meant supporting us financially, but maybe I'm wrong) as the game was already funded via Kickstarter and that it will be released for free once done ~
Though, don't hesitate to stop by the team members social accounts/websites. Thank you again for your interest and hope you'll like the final product !✨

Hello ~
Yes there is, but you'll find it on the Steam page (^ w^)/
