I completely WRECKED my sleeping schedule playing this game all the way through for the first time. I stayed up all night, completely by accident. I was too anxious when I could tell the band was keeping things from Robin to go to bed without knowing.

 I went with Beau first, and I have to say, I didn't expect going in that I'd end up loving him as much as I did. I saw a review that said they didn't feel like Beau loved Robin very much, and I have to say, I really completely disagree. His route made me tear up. I went through such a strong variety of emotions, and I felt like I could really feel them falling for each other without meaning to, and despite their resistance. I felt like they kind of taught each other how to be in love properly, in a way they couldn't reach before. I feel like that was the intention. With all the feelings this route gave me, and how much I adored Beau, I'm almost terrified what Dallas's route will be like, since I've heard so many people say it's heartbreaking.

I hope Beau uses his newfound ability to stand up to his mother to get to marry Robin someday, honestly. Trade being a good son and heir for the ability to be with this woman forever. Bring up that his parent's marriage was scandalous too, at the time. I feel like they're just... really good together. I could see them as a forever thing.

This game is so, so much fun, and I'm so excited to go through all the routes, and see the ways the story can play out differently,  and then through the open ended routes (I'm planning to start games as dating the story mode options to see if you get more content for them, as well as games where I'm not so I can seduce others without breaking any hearts). I'm excited that there are still new characters being introduced and brought out. I'm really crossing my fingers for some lady love interest possibilities for Robin in the open ended mode, as I am very gay and bisexual Robin would be RAD. It looks like the Blue Rose has dates, maybe, but that might not be what it sounds like- though I think it'd be VERY cute.

This game is really well done and engaging, and I feel like I'm going to see so many more interesting things by exploring the rest of the story. Thank you for this!

I'm glad Beau is getting some love. His stiff nature can come off as indifference. Of the epilogues for the Story Mode chars, Robin and Beau's will be the most turbulent. There's a lot of stuff they have to work through, but if they can do it, they'll be very happy. :) I'm about a little more than halfway done with their epilogue, but you can get a preview when you do start Open Mode.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but Robin doesn't have a full-fledged romance with any women unfortunately. There is some cheesecake with Rose and Jammy. My future games are going to be way more gay. I started this game ten years ago when I hadn't really explored that side of me, but LGBTA will be something I include from now on. Romance is romance and I like it all.

Wrecking your sleeping pattern is the highest compliment. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Email me for a Premium Code if you don't have one already: maselphie AT gmail

I really like him! I didn't feel that he was indifferent at all- I honestly felt like he was having a hard time restraining how much he felt, even.

I'm super excited to see the epilogues, and it'll be great to explore what they have to deal with to get to a happy ending! I love that you get to see some of how the relationships progress; I feel like a lot of visual novels can be wonderful but still leave you wondering what's next, and if what you worked for comes to fruition.

And I will absolutely keep an eager eye out for your future, gayer works! I adore representative games and Rock Robin is entirely wonderful, so I'm sure you'll do more really cool things that I'll want to see. c: Thank you so much for all your hard work!

I do have a premium code, though, already! I paid the tiny fee because I was curious before I even played the game. Which was maybe kind of silly, but clearly I liked it, so it was a good decision.
