Oh dear! Take your time. Stay healthy and safe, first!

I just finished my first play through! I REALLY like this VN! I don't know why I waited so long to play it. I also noticed that I didn't get to see most of the scenes that are posted here on the page. So, I look forward to some more play throughs to try and see everything!

I'm glad to hear it isn't just me. The age difference doesn't bother me either. I think it might make me slightly uncomfortable if there was more of a depicted physical relationship. Obviously two people who love each other will have that relationship, but mentally, someone who is 17/18 with a 27 year old in that way seems bothersome. Obviously, it happens in real life and those people are genuinely in love and whatnot, it's just outside the norm so I'm hesitant about it. If that makes sense. 

Oh! Thank you. I feel silly, I truly don't remember that being a part of the story at all. Goodness. I'll just pay closer attention. Haha. Anyway, thank you again!

I have to admit that I'm not even sure of that. I don't remember a moment when I would pull a CD? I definitely missed something. Now I feel silly. Haha

I just recently noticed the Day 5 artwork with Jun shared here and I haven't unlocked it. Can someone maybe walk me through it? I just didn't think I was doing anything "wrong".

SMALL SPOILERS

I'm playing the Keisuke's route again after a LONG time of not playing it through. And I just got to the part where the MC, Keisuke, Alex and Victor are going and about and I can't help but love Victor. I even wish there was a route for Victor because I'd like to see more of his personality. But another thing I can't help but do is ship Victor with Alex... 

I know that might be controversial because of the age difference. I'm guessing Victor, Kei and the MC are all around the same age and that Alex is 10 years older than Kei. I know the legal age of consent in Japan is younger than here in the US, so I automatically don't ship them physically. But their personalities are so fun together in my opinion and the idea of a fox and a wolf being together seems interesting. I've heard multiple times in multiple universes that they tend to not get along. So even in that, they could have an interesting story. 

Ah, I'm rambling but wanted to share my thoughts and don't really have anyone else to share that with so... Here I am! :P

Thank you so much! 😸

I have a somewhat silly question:

This is the first time I'm playing this on a computer (I previously played on my phone). I've downloaded a new build for the first time. Now I have two folders, one for each build. Can I delete the old folder? Or perhaps will that delete my saved data?

From Beyond? I'm sorry but it doesn't sound familiar. I hope I didn't ruin a pun. Heh..

I came here looking for some info about the Klaus route (having seen that it was an option in some of the updates) and wasn't expecting there to be any posts about it already!

It's admittedly been a while since I last played! I also got a new laptop since I last played and though the experience would be better than on my phone (it is, btw).

Because it's been a while, I wanted to play through routes I attempted when I began and I was just so delighted with Jørgen! I understand that some of the other characters might be more popular with fans, like Rune and Bjørn. But I do hope more happens with Jørgen. 

I'm also excited to try different routes that I didn't before, especially since so much has been updated. ^_^ I hope that the progress of this novel is going smoothly for everyone involved. I'm really enjoying this story!

I also just really like his story. At least what I've gotten up to. I'm not up-to-date with any of the stories. Haha 😅

I agree! He's adorable!! 

I was playing on my Android for the longest time. But now I have a PC and am hoping for a better experience.  But this also means running through all the stories I went through again. I'm not complaining though. It's been a bit.

Also waiting.. :P But also feel he's too pure. hehe

Oh, thank you for replying. No need to apologize! I wouldn't say there was too much Lake. I enjoy Lake quite a lot, too. I think it felt like the MC was gaining feelings for Lake and vice versa through that. But it makes sense now that I understand that their routes were paired together for Day 1! The MC already knows Lake and just met Jørgen. So it makes sense that his feelings would be different toward each character.

Jørgen is probably my favorite so far. So his route is one I've been looking forward to the most. Maybe it's just me, and I'm doing something wrong. But as I played through this update, I felt as though I wasn't really on Jørgen's route? I tried selecting everything that would keep me on that path, but I sort of felt like I was being steered in a different direction. So maybe my selections weren't right? Idk. But it was disappointing. Not that what I played wasn't good, it was very good and I enjoyed it all! I was just hoping for more Jørgen.

I'm very excited to play through this new update! I wasn't sure of the possibility of Jørgen's route so I'm very happy to hear it!

Thank you for the update!! I'm still working through the Shoichi route a second time.. I think.. but anyway, regardless, I'm excited to continue his story.. err.. "our" story with him? Not sure how to word that. Hehe. Either way, I can't wait to see how it plays out!

This is so exciting! The 10th should hurry up. 😝 Seeing the poll results was also really interesting. In some cases, I was surprised by the results, and in others, not surprised. 

I think my taste in favorite characters isn't on par with the majority. Haha! And, I have to admit, I need to replay the game to get better acquainted with the other characters! I don't remember them all. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I like that there are so many characters!

Im excited either way! It's important for the creators to be in a good place, so definitely take whatever time you all need to relax. 😌 Tuesday can't come soon enough! Haha!

I didn't take it that way, you're good! But I agree entirely. That's why I was sorta feeling like it was a mix. Like it dealt with those real life issues, but in a somewhat surreal scenario. If that makes sense. 

I have an appreciation for both types of stories though. The kind like Shoichi's where the entire thing is filled with real life examples. But also Jun's where it has those elements, but also brings in some exaggerated themes. 

Oh! Also, I wanted to mention that the situation with Shoichi's dad is quite interesting. After playing through the bad route and then the good route, I feel like I got a better idea of what was really happening in that household than I did with the good route. And I definitely think there's something fishy happening there, to say the least. 

Ohhh, okay, no worries. Thank you for checking though!! It's kind of good to know that it wasn't necessarily because of my choices. Haha!

Ahh, I'll have to play through again and try to be more conscious of my choices, then! I have the same exact feeling, though. Not being able to tell him yes.. I have yet to proceed, actually. I refuse to tell him no. Haha! 😅

That's soooo true. I have to agree. I haven't gone through Keisuke's route yet though, so I can't really comment on his.

As for Jun's, I personally feel like there's a mix of reality and stuff you'd find only in stories. It's really hard to explain without giving out spoilers to anyone who hasn't played his route yet, but I'm mostly talking about his struggles with mental health. Those are very real. And really have those effects on someone trying to be in a relationship with someone. (Personal experience with this, actually..) Of course, not everyone goes through that, but it was kind of "nice" to see the struggles I go through being portrayed here. 

Same for the Shoichi route! Of course they were more.. extreme for me, which is why it left odd feelings in my stomach. It was more of a reminder of the horrible things I went through. But that was also true for Jun's route! All of the things about mental health, and for that but where you see things through his POV, was so spot on to what I personally would think and the things that would go through my mind at times. It sort of validated me in a way, if that makes sense.

Both routes were beautifully written in my opinion, though. I have no qualms with the stories themselves, I don't mean to come off that way so I apologize if I do!! I loved them both. But I think I preferred Jun's route because of how much I can relate to Jun and his mental health and how it has an impact on his relationship with the MC and the others. 

But I have respect for the Shoichi route too! Because like you said, it's very real. The situations that both Shoichi and the MC go through, and the perspective of both are very real (like Shoichi being a little too zealous about pursuing the relationship, and the MC having his reservations).

In the Shoichi route, I really related to the MC. He was excited to have the relationship, but wanted to move slowly because of how new it was for him. And at times, felt Shoichi was going too far to the point where the MC was feeling slightly uncomfortable. That's something I've been through before (maybe a bit more extreme, bordering something traumatizing) so I connected with the MC and his nervousness to proceed, but not wanting to give up and not knowing what to do and feeling confused and not knowing who to turn to and sort of being in the whirlwind of emotions and thoughts 

Sorry.. I rambled quite a bit but I have a lot of thoughts on these two routes. I was able to really emotionally connect with each of them, just in very different ways. Which, in my opinion, says a LOT about how well they're written! Makes me love this game even more.

Side note: I cried multiple times going through Jun's route because of the emotional attachment I have with the way he experiences life.

Hiya! So I'm also playing through Koshiro's route. But I hit a road block.. 😔 eh.. I hate giving out spoilers, but I'm also hoping to get your thoughts on this road block I got to.

Hopefully no one gets spoiled by this.. but there's a part where you "run away" with him. Hopefully that's vague enough for those who haven't read it, but descriptive enough that you know which scene I'm talking about. Heh. 😅 

Anyway, the option to actually do that is grayed out. The only option I can select is to decline that offer. Do you think it's because of the choices I made? Or maybe that's simply as far as it's been written?

Sorry if this is annoying.. 😅 I did try and post a comment about it a while back, but it didn't get any response. 

Hello! I'm having trouble finding where I can give this a five star rating! Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I feel so silly. I've rated one other work, but can't find the option again. 😅

Just finished the "good" route for Shoichi! I'm so glad I was convinced to play through his route again. The first time I played through, I got the "bad" route, and didn't even think about playing through it again to try for the good route, and settled with the idea that what I got was what I was gonna get!

I have mixed feelings about it. It's MOSTLY all good. Anything that sorta made me feel not so good about it was because of personal preferences and experiences that would make certain events rub me the wrong way. 

Nothing really stands out for me as I'm writing this, but I remember having that feeling/sensation that is it were me in those situations, I would be angry, hurt, depressed, or would walk away completely. But most people aren't like me, so I get why things didn't work out that way, which is probably why I got the bad route in the first run. Haha!!

Ugh, unfortunately I haven't gotten to it yet. 😔 I did some traveling today and wasn't able to play at all. So idk, maybe I'll restart my routes altogether? So I can get the best content out of it I can. I fumbled over everything through the main run of it, and saved my progress at the point where you can select a character. But I'm learning that there are special scenes involve with selecting certain characters even before then! Ooph...

I'll have to remember to stay in touch! I'm currently playing through the Jun route, so I sort of wanna finish that before restarting Shoichi.

Thank you, that's good to know. The route I was one certainly had its beautiful moments, but it ended so horribly. I nearly cried myself. Which, kudos to the writer(s) cuz it was so well written!

Ugh.. I guess I'll have to restart the Shoichi route, then. Cuz it's bad!! Like, I was legitimately angry for days. 😹

I really shouldn't be reading through the comments. 😅 So many spoilers (as to be expected). 

But in doing so, I sorta feel like I should start my routes over again! I'm not exactly getting all of the results I was hoping for. But was also sort of playing through as if it were me making the choices. Like, if I were in this position, what would I do? So I guess I get bad end results for that, huh? Haha! 😹

But so far I've only played through the Shoichi route, and have had a negative outcome. And I'm currently working on the Jun route. Hopefully, I do right by Jun.. I have a soft spot for him!

Hi, hi! 😺 I'm really enjoying this story! I recently played through the Leandros route up until its end and it's great! So, I started the Koshiro route to pass time and I'm really enjoying this one as well! 

I did, though, run into something that I have a question about. Of course, I don't want to give out spoilers, just in case, but I got to a point in his story where two options were given to me, but one option (the option of like to choose) is crossed out and can't be selected. 

I was wondering if this is because of previous choices that I've made, or is it because it hasn't been updated yet? Hopefully, my being vague about this isn't too vague. I really don't wanna give out spoilers. But, if it's because there isn't an update for that selection yet, I will absolutely wait before continuing the Koshiro route!

Thank you for all that you do! I think it's safe for me to say on behalf of all of us fans that we appreciate what you're doing despite how busy your personal life has become!

Oh, thank you so much! I'm really looking forward to see where this story progresses from here, and am looking forward to playing through the game with different choices! Keep up the great work, and remember to take care! 😺

Uhm, hello! I'm super new to "Itch", so I don't really know what I'm doing. 😅 But I'm hoping someone can help me with this question. I'm afraid that I'll miss the release of the next build, somehow. And, I guess this is actually more than one question haha, how to I add the next build? And when I do, will my progress already be added to the new build? 

I'm super sorry if these seem like such silly questions. And thank you to anyone who has an answer for me! 😺
