hii i just wanna express how blessed i feel that i came across this game and how much i love it <333 my current favourite character is Jamie. he's a very refreshing character to me, and i don't think writing this character is easy, same with the others. besides the really unique concept and beautiful art, i have great respect for the skillful writers! looking forward to Summer!!!
Please please PLEASE make Cameron a romanceable character !!! I really like Jamie and Percy and Elio, but I can't crush on any of them knowing Cam is RIGHT THERE looking pretty af. Deja would also be a great love interest, that way it's not just guys we can date.
But yeah I WILL LITERALLY SELL MY SOUL FOR A CAM ROUTE DEVS PLSSSS
I LOVE THIS GAME DOWWWWWNNNNN. I WILL WAIT AS LONG AS IT . TAKES FOR THE SUMMER SEASON.
i love the minigames and how i can shape the mc. all the characters are so lovable. I enjoy the choices and the whole game design. this is one of my fav vns on this platform and i love percy through and through. please keep working hard developers!!
i loveeeee this game SO MUCH! i cannot wait for the summer to come out!! hope i get to do some stargazing with Elio :DDD
ts needs to be a full game already THE DEMO IS SO FREAKING GOODDDD!!
Wait this is a demo?!
Yess! This is only 1/9 of the seasons they have planned :)
That is amazing.
anyone know how it's going with the game?
they are working on Keyframes: First Summer afaik
kay,thanks
does anyone know how to get the rainy day cg? ive tried not going out or not inviting them back in but nothing seems to work they keep coming over anyway TT
elio's route babe
OHHH OKAY THANK YOUUU
Does anyone know which characters like which raffle prizes if you choose to share in the festival event? I know that Jamie likes the books, Deja likes the game and Elio likes the telescope, but I'm stuck on Percy and I'm currently romancing him lol
i think percy likes the spices?
I think Jamie likes spices (cuz he bakes?) Maybe the sign..?
when u choose the books someone tells jamie "be careful ure looking a little green" i think? i havent tried giving anyone the sign tho. and when u give percy the spices he says he already knows how hes going to use them!
From what I've tried, Percy likes the spices and the video game!
I literally cannot wait for this to be finished, omg I love this game even if I only played it this month. Thank you oh great developers and whoever worked on this game 🫡💖 your work is greatly appreciated!
elio kealoha.. my dearest....
everyone!! how do you know which li will text first after the prologue (like after you've met all 3 and picked if you are interested in them)? sometimes i get the one i'm aiming for and then sometimes i don't even with the same season... like no matter what i do if my mc is a fall then i only get jamie texting first but as a spring i got elio once and percy every other time. i can't figure out the point system in general T^T
if anyone knows anything/has a bit of a guide i would be very thankful!! <3
okay i think i've figured something out?? as a fall i got percy... but tbh i can't tell you how LMFAOOO
wait jk i think i've an idea? i can explain if anyone is interested 🤓
So basically from reading the developers tumblr, I think it's just based off of who you have the most positive points with(?). If they're all relatively equal then it will be a randomized chance.
i cant stop thinking about this game bro also im crushing so hard on Percy. cant wait for full thing
gotta say this game is definitely a favourite of mine. the story is nicely written and the characters are really loveable :) everyone did so well with the voices too! can't wait for the next update. percy best boi <3
I NEED A CAM ROUTE WAAAAA
Me too. <3
Me three!
pls let us bond with reynah over being filipino I NEEEED my filo mc to bond with reynah over the asian market and banana ketchup and blessing up ur elders
i cry at night cause this is a demo
does anyone know how to get the top row 3rd CG frm the left? > <;;
Hi! I'm assuming you're talking about the rainy day cg! To get it you have to either not go outside with them, OR if you do go outside, don't invite them back in for soup. Hope this helps! :3
every time i try not inviting them someone else invites them and i end up not getting cg 😭😭😭 what am i doing wronggg
Hmmmm.... I'm not exactly sure what's going wrong here, but I got it by waiting till Percy (<3) calls and when he asks if you want to join them click "Going out in the rain? No thanks." after that another option will appear and I click "Whatever they were up to down there, you'd leave them to it." then the CG should appear in the groupchat towards the end of the event! If that for some reason doesn't work, I would try maybe changing the order in which you do the events? Hopefully this works! <3
. Why is no one talking about my love, ELIO?
. He's literally all I want in a guy. Funny, Extroverted, Charming, and slightly Oblivious. Who wouldn't have a crush on HIM?
. Elio, I will wait 'till the end of time to have more chapters with you. Just wait for me. :3
I can't wait for the new chapters! I can't get over the 'MATTERBABY' joke. It's too funny, lol.
Ahaha, I completely agree, I love him too!!
he's so great!!! my favorite too . i need more! D:
ILYSM FOR MAKING THIS
I haven't seen anyone talking about Elio!!! Anyone got suggestions on getting scenes/approval with him??
if you visit him during the rainy day scenario you get a really cute interaction with him :3
Thank youuu!!

THIS BETTER COME RN OR ELSE I WILL START CRYING /hj (um no pressure i jst really like this game and i cry at the fact its a demo)
THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME AHHH I CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL VERSION IM SO HAPPY TO HAVE DISCOVERED THIS GAME,ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE SO UNIQUE AND WHOLESOME T_T
ALSO, PERCY MY BELOVED
how do I get a spring mc?
Spring is “bright and charming” as well as quick with come backs. The game describes them as “excellent people to keep around in a group setting as they grease the wheels for conversation, but be careful to not irritate them: they can be cold if wronged.” The answers I picked for it is ‘eat it anyway,’ ‘why wouldn’t I? They’re funny.’ ‘Small mistakes? All mistakes are big to me!’ ‘Apologize first, even if you don’t think you were wrong.’ ‘No. (Fate)’ ‘My heart will guide my hands. I don’t need directions.’ ‘Email the teacher.’ ‘Snuggle the plush back into bed.’ !
Hope this was helpful<3
yes thank you
Is it possible that this game can come on androids
are u on android?
yes I'm an android
Idk how many times I played this game alr. IT'S THAT GOOD. I can't wait AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
why my fav is one of the friends:') *sad noises* lmao, just came to say that the game is really really cool! i like this game and i'm crazy bc i want to cosplay too many ones in there and if i'm allowed to i won't have any money lef
I just started playing the demo for this on steam. Is Wryn Mayer University a Bryn Mawr College reference? Or just a coincidence? My little Mawrtyr brain is going !!!
how do i get the cg on the top 2nd and two cgs bottom right
To get the 2nd one on top u need to get a study room and go get snacks with percy and elio,and to get the 2 bottom right ones,again,get a study room but don't go to get snacks and to get the last one u need to split up at the spring festival and once you finish the first activity(either playing games w percy, going to the animal thing w jamie or going to the climbing wall w elio) say that u need a break
ocakes sankyu ><
wait, what spring festival? Did I skip it by accident?
why is so good guys ? Is this real ?
Guyss how do I get a winter MC? I keep getting fall *cries in my frozen icicle*
So the way I got winter was by having my answers logical, avoiding the approaching clipboard person, night, and staying calm under pressure. But the way the game describes it as, "the coolest people around, never the type to be ruffled or influenced. Calm, but straightforward observers. They may be quiet, don't mistake that for passivity: they're observing and won't hesitate to call people out, even at risk for their feelings." So choose your answers based on this!
Hope this was helpful!<3
TYYY
I'm still wondering, how many events are there?
The Cam attack reminds me of "MAKE GEO A ROMANCE-ABLE CHARACTER!!!"
tkatb mentioned???
Nah, I'm talking about Geodude from pokemon(Ofc it's our bbg Geo from Tkatb😘)
anyone know when the full game coming out cause idk whats going on
I think you can find out looking through their kickstarter? In the dev log, the 'Post Summer Kickstarter Plans' update has a KS link in it that has a bunch of information.
Can't buy anything in there though! They got their funding a while ago. (:
Edit: Here's the link. I don't remember if they have anything about the next season release though... Kickstarter Link
the full game will take several years, but the next season release is expected to be summer 2026, though theyve said that it MIGHT (keyword might) come out early since they got fully backed.
