Aaaaaaa I'm really happy to hear that! (,,> ω<,,) I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed this game and how it made me smile ;w; I would say that you definitely succeeded in making Grayson realistic and fleshed out--like you said, he's very sweet. He's highly approachable and lovable, but he's definitely got his own host of issues that are, again, relatable and understandable but are also entirely capable of hurting him or the people he cares about. I think that in particular is what really made me feel for him.

(´；ω；｀) I know I certainly had a moment of, "I know exactly why you're doing this, but it hurts. Hurts everyone involved." (WHICH AGAIN IS HOW I KNOW THE EMOTIONS ARE HITTING RIGHT TTwTT)

AND OHOOOO (╯✧ ∇ ✧)╯While I am personally quite satisfied with how the game ended and think you have done plenty of great work with LAF as it is now, I would certainly be excited for an update! o(^∀^*)o All of those features sound like they would be great additions and well ofc I'd be happy to spend more time with Gracie outside of the random scenarios my brain cooks up (*ﾉωﾉ) 

Still, know that you've done very well and definitely deserve to rest! I am glad if my thoughts and appreciation have reached you. Take it easy and have a good day (*＾▽＾)／

Oh goodness...this one was adorable and so full of love. I've only played a fraction of the game since I've only completed one ending so far since it's getting a bit late as of writing this comment. Now, I haven't pursued any other endings aside from the one I got on my first run (Ending 8) for ease of skipping through dialogue to find differences, but I did go back and try out a handful of other hobbies and there is just SO much detail! That combined with how many endings there are and what you can do or say to Grayson, I find that there's lots of effort and thus lotsa love in this project! (,,> ω<,,)

And speaking of, Grayson...sweet Gracie...I wish to love and cherish him (*ﾉωﾉ)..............ahem, for real though! He's both so charming and magnetic while also being rather relatable. While I may differ from him greatly in terms of personal identity and history, I could deeply understand his struggles and where he was coming from.

[START LIGHT SPOILERS]

When he began to really get into his personal history, I really wanted to just reach out and comfort him or just...something! Anything! I wanted to tell him he wasn't stupid for wanting that love! That he was allowed to still love them even if it felt stupid! That sometimes feelings are just like that and he was allowed to feel that way, even if he knew it was never going to happen!! Augh!!! I'm trying to keep this comment as vague as I can, it's just that I felt very strongly about this part!! Waugh!!ヽ(；A；)ノ

[END LIGHT SPOILERS]

Ahem! Anyhow! 

I look forward to playing more of LAF and uncovering more of the little details and differences! (✧∀ ✧ 人 ) Maybe I will muster up the courage to be more indifferent or perhaps even mean to Grayson...but for now, I am content in having gotten to know him and being allowed to love him (♡ ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝) All in all, a very cute and well-done game with a ton of heart!

Oh this one was SUPER fun. I really enjoyed the concept and getting to know all of the clients! They're all varied and unique with their own quirks and issues. I liked the fact that I could find something that I liked and disliked about all of them, which really made them feel well-rounded and, well, human! There's also just so much variety in the dialogue and I think the voice actors were a great choice and killed it with their roles from what I've seen.

My personal favorite client so far is Zaid because while he is definitely rough around the edges and mildly prone to running over my consultant on the way to his seat, I personally see Zaid as just a big clumsy puppy that so desperately wants to be loved (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑) And I love that for him. I want this guy to find that and be happy like nothing else. I am probably a piddling fraction of his overall mass, but I want to pick him up like he's a small dog and hug him and tell him it's gonna be alright and that sure yeah I think he could stand to slow down a tad but I know he's doing his best and just auuugh (,,> ω<,,)

(That said, Atlas definitely has my heart a little bit. I love the banter between him and the MC aaaaaaaaaaaaaa <3)

Additionally, I love that MDA doesn't shy away from heavier topics and attempts to handle them with care and advocates for open communication. I'll try to keep it spoiler-free, but I definitely had a few moments of, "YES! PLEASE TALK ABOUT IT! LIKE HUMAN BEINGS DO!" and "AND IF THEY'RE MEAN OR JUDGMENTAL TO YOU ABOUT IT, I WILL PERSONALLY BEHEAD THEM okay well that's an exaggeration but I will certainly have a professional but stern word with them and they will not come out unscathed (╬ ಠωಠ)و"

There is one little thing that bothered me a bit, and please correct me if I'm wrong about this! (⁎˃ᆺ˂) I often found myself needing to load previous saves to review information on clients and prospective dates, and started wishing there was a way to access and review client/date profiles or information. Again, if there is a way to do that and I am just looking in the wrong places, please disregard this bit! I understand that what is currently out is a demo and submissions for game jams, so I also understand that certain features may not be implemented yet; it was just something I found myself doing often while considering matches. For example, I was once considering a client's specification regarding ages, but then I couldn't remember how old the client was and had to look around for that information. So I thought it'd be worth bringing it up (x ω x;; )

Anyways! I'm very excited for what y'all have in store for the future and will keep tabs on this project (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) You've all worked very hard and should be proud of what you've achieved!

oughhgughhg i'm already enamored with this game *w* I love the art and the feel of the world and its characters. All of the characters are unique and the glimpses of them that I've caught so far have really shone through. And Zu, sweet Zu auhguhgughgh I have some thoughts forming in my head about him but I shall wait until you have more ready! All I know is that I am already quite fond of him and looking forward to seeing more >W< Wonderful work!

Seconding this sentiment! I feel exactly the same way and lemme tell you, I came RUNNING when I saw news of a new work >W<

I started chapter 1 of Incubus today and I'm already so charmed by this cheeky demon, though I'm not necessarily talking about romantic or sexual attraction so much as it is chemistry between the characters...mixed in with a sentiment "oh what is THIS guy's deal" xD I really think the writer has a ways of writing characters that draw you in one way or another.

Ohhh man the style on this one is off the charts! The overall aesthetic and vibe really hit me with the nostalgia. It brought me so much goddamn glee to see an N64 console (i str8up squealed) and 2000s-era message boards. 

I did run into a couple of issues, for example: some events being delayed/not progressing quite right, and I had one issue with a message box popping up prematurely during the selfies section. However!! I have faith in you guys and am still vvV excited to see what the full game will be like! <3
