aww~ thanks so much for playing! im happy you enjoyed it! im working on the third game in the trilogy and hoping i can give them all happier endings!

Aww thanks so much for playing! I really enjoyed your play through and the way you read/voiced each character! 

Momotarou is the antagonist in my Froot Basket trilogy! I wanted to explore what happened to him after the events of the first game, Froot Basket Valentine! I'm currently working on the last game in the trilogy. I hope you'll give the series a look!

Thanks again for your interest and for giving this short VN a go!

Thanks so much for playing! I enjoyed your play through and appreciate your criticism! 

Sometimes when creating, one lives in their head too long, so it's hard to imagine what it's like reading/playing this from a blank slate. I think I assumed that if you somehow found this, you probably were familiar with my body of work. BUT this is not always the case. I agree that including at least a sentence to callback the plot of my previous projects would make the whole experience a little less confusing. Momo is the antagonist in previous projects, so I wanted to explore him and his thoughts after all the events of said projects.

I thought about using senpai's name, Jordan, for this. However, since Jordan is the player character in previous projects I decided against it. As you have demonstrated, a poor decision on my part... After watching your play through, you're right. As a short game written in English for English-speaking audiences, English should be used to avoid less confusion. I think it's not so important to know that Jordan is Momotarou's upperclassman. It's more important for the reader to know that Jordan is someone Momo cares about. And since this is such a short project anyway, it's probably best to use "Jordan" rather than "senpai".

Thanks again for playing and for you feedback! I will update for future readers to enjoy and maybe make more of a connection with Momo.

hello~ no need to apologize! thank u for playing! i'm happy you enjoyed it, and i rly appreciate u taking the time to get every route and leave such sweet comments!

i'm also happy(?) to see that momo's route elicited the intended reaction lol. thank u again! im working on a sequel, Froot Basket White. since it'll be episodic, idt i'll be able to release a web version (large files...), but if u have some time (and desktop space), i hope u'll give it a shot! c:

!!!! chiiiimmm!! thank u so much for your kind words! glad u like my choice of music too! when i heard it, i knew i had to use it. it influenced the direction of the project visually too xDD originally, i had wanted to make something spooky and creepy, so i was looking for a horror track or creepy lullaby. but that darn song was so good... im rly happy with how everything turned out and rly proud that i was able to at least get the main meat of the project done in time.

the vibes of the various Froot Basket games are quite different from this one, but if you get the chance, i do hope you'll enjoy them! thank u again!

!!! thank u so much! it was a last-minute decision and suggestion from a friend, so i'm rly glad you enjoyed it! i've been meaning to do something with his namesake too, so im glad i fit that into this project c: im happy u like the mask-changing too. i thought it was rly fun xDD

thank u thank u again~

hmm, there are a lot of files in the game making the game itself quite large. if i have some time, i will see what i can do to optimize it. thank you for letting me know!

Hi! Thank you so much for playing, and thank you for your comment!
The song for Momo's good ending is called "Yuuzura".

I haven't been able to update the web versions with voice-acting, but if you're able to download and play the downloadable versions there's some voice-acting and a bunch of new art and stuff! You're also able to see what "Jordan" looks like and even customize them a bit in the prequel game, Froot Basket Dark Chocolate! The prequel is also from Momo's POV, so you can get a peek into his mind.

I'm rly glad you enjoyed this game! I'm working on a sequel, Froot Basket White! I hope you'll look forward to it c:

oh! ok, that makes more sense. i know how to fix that. but it requires me to change the entire user interface. that'll take a lot of time, so i'll work on it when i can.

the first game in the trilogy is Froot Basket Valentine. Froot Basket Dark Chocolate is the second. i'm taking a break right now, but i'll resume working on the final part next month. not sure when it'll be released yet because there's a lot i've yet to do.

thanks for your interest!

I mean, if you don't mind mild spoilers...

6 males, 1 female. Of the 7 total, 2 are "secret" routes. There's a walkthrough linked on this page if you need it.

aaa thank u!!! im glad to hear you love them! i'm excited to get to work on the final part of this saga xDD

hello! thank you for letting me know! i'll try to see what's up and fix it.

apologies for disappointing you. i made this in two weeks during yaoi game jam and didn't have much time to add something more tasty (nor did i think i had the skills at the time to draw anything more), so it's non-explicit. i do appreciate you trying tho.

aww~ thanks so much! i hope i can start working on it again so bring yall the whole story c':

every time i open a new game, i always take time to appreciate the opening sequence, including the splashscreens. but also i wanna say that i rly love when buttons have both an animation and sfx on hover and action bc i need confirmation that i actually clicked something lol. ty for that.

THIS TITLE SCREEN SETS THE VIBES FRFR LOVE THE SFX AND VISUAL EFFECTS IT'S FIRE (haha lol)

i rly love how clean the UI is. bless.

omfg this music is FIRE TOO. it rly sets the mood im gonna cry

it's definitely not weird to BLUSH at a character u drew urself (he just touched my face im SCREAMING INTERNALLY)

maybe still biased of me to say, but i rly feel like i've known Karrus for a long time despite having only just "met" him after downloading and playing.

also GRADE A USE OF EXPRESSIONS OMG. i actually find myself mirroring his expressions as i read LOL

I FEEL SO BIASED BUT THE DIALOGUE U WROTE COUPLED WITH HIS THE MUSIC AND EXPRESSIONS IM DOWN BAD

GUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLL i love the banter with him omfg. he's also just super sweet wtf i love him

THE CHIBIS ARE SO CUTE IM YELLING

eff me i'll hear him say "i love you" a billion times and never get tired of it

aaAAAA thank u for this wonderful experience, kristi! sobs i rly enjoyed every second with him hhhhhhghhh

Hello! Thank you for your interest in checking out my game, but the build that I had here no longer reflects the experience I want folks to have when playing. So I decided to disable downloads until I have something I think will be better. Sorry for the inconvenience! :c

hello! thank u so much for playing! i'm currently working on an update of the game and the walkthrough document. there's a few unlockable things i missed and didn't put in the walkthrough. i'll take a look at the "grim future" part too and ask some peeps to playtest before i update again.

thank u for letting me know! 

hello! apologies, i keep forgetting to update with a walkthrough. when i have more time, i'll make and share one. sorry! orz

Aww~ Momo is adorable, isn't he? Thank you for your comment!
I'll have to check the wording error. Sometimes we can miss things when we proofread :''D Thank you for pointing it out!

Awww~ no worries! Even if your comment is to share how much you love the game and characters, I really appreciate it! It lets me know that people still care and that we're doing something right as developers and creators.

Also, thank you for letting me know about the error! Apologies for the late reply. I don't often check the studio account and I wish I could link notifications to my personal dev account c'':

Thank you kindly for your patience as well! I'll make note of this error so I can try to fix it before I update the demo again... Hopefully soon, and if not, before the end of the year at least :''D

🥹 aww~ thank you so much for your support and kind words! i feel so much more motivated to continue working hard on this project!

i'll try to add a mode where the chemistry is totally optional :''D but first, the story c:

🥺🥺🥺 thank you kindly for your understanding and support all this time! creating is difficult c'': but, yes, i definitely don't want to force this project to be something that will make me feel uncomfortable or unhappy :'c

i hope the next update i share will be something i'm more proud to share c:

the art is absolutely stunning! the narrative pulled me in straight away. and the love interests are yummy, i love them both. and lillian is a beautiful dame herself u///u love her! also, rly love the music and sound! it's well placed. excited for more!

Sorry for the late reply! Thank you for sharing with me! I didn't intend for the game to be played on mobile, so I didn't make any assets or changes to the code for it. If you and others will be playing on mobile, I'll consider trying to update the WEB version of this game again.

Aww, thank you for playing! Also, it was my intent to write the story without using any pronouns. I wanted the MC to be gender neutral.

thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment! vs's art is so fun and cute! i squealed too when they first showed me xDD

roy's definitely our boy cx

!!! thank youu so much for playing and leaving a comment! <3

yay! we're so happy you had fun! glad you enjoyed the narrator as well! cx good luck with the last ending! we'll prob release a walkthrough some time in the future c:

aww thank you so much for playing! we're so happy you enjoyed it! cx

Which platform are you installing to? If you have a windows PC, I don't think I'll be of much help since I use a macbook and wouldn't be able to help you troubleshoot... I'd be happy to ask a friend to see if they can help you, though!

!!! Thank you so much for your praise and thoughts, Carrot! I'm glad to know I set the stage and tone for the story right from the get-go! I wasn't sure about the stained-glass on the menu screen at first, but your words give me confidence that I made the right decision c:

I'm happy you enjoyed the experience as well! It's true that we are not meant to fully grasp the confessor's situation. They're just blurting out whatever comes to mind and we're just listening.

Thank you again!

!!! OMGGGG this is so PRETTY! Everything about it is gorgeous! I'm especially in love with how you used the background and Hugo's sprite -- Zooming in and out -- it's very dynamic! It feels like I'm watching a movie. The music and voice-acting is beautiful as well! It really brings everything together! What a wonderful experience~
