Welcome to Wryn Mayer!
Bumble headfirst into the last two weeks of your second Spring Semester. With an ensemble cast of five, you'll find yourself in silly situations, entertaining impulse decisions, and forging new friendships— or maybe even romance?

When I first played the demo, I was completely in love with Percy, but after replaying it a couple times and experiencing every event I think Elio's big brown eyes have won me over 💗 u guys did such a good job with their different personality types.
Love this game so much. It has honestly motivated me to study more for my uni classes lol
As much as I want Percy for myself, him and Deja have great chemistry.
I know right? I noticed that as well 😼
I KNOW THE PERSON IN THAT TV also love the game!
heheheh XYZ <333 AND THE BLOOMING PANIC SONG I HEARD THAT HEHEHEH
I don't think I've played a game that captures college as well as this. Between the spectrum of events on campus and just the joy of spending time with friends.. its genuine in a way that reminds me of what was great about this time of your life. Loved the events and meet-ups and situations. The environment of this game is on point and feels lived in down to the background npcs.
That said, I had a great time meeting everyone but a hard time pursuing any romances? Really hope for more development on the chemistry side with the romancables in summer, because as much
adorabletime as you spend with the cast you aren't offered a lot of opportunity (outside of the very obvious and brief first meeting with Percy). Which seems like a loss with how much I felt I got to do and see. There's a friendly charisma with your personal trio at times but even that I'd like more time with. I felt I learned a lot of facts about everyone but didn't feel my character got close to anyone personally. (Maybe I'm unique in this since it seems like a lot of people didnt have trouble!)Despite this, I had a great time with the first season and am looking forward to seeing more! Good work, and hope you keep getting funded through the semesters
We, yes WE are all excited for summer right?
YESS!!
Im so excited for the summer update, we are finally getting fed!! 🥹
Played the demo of this game years ago 😭
I wanna date Cameron pleaseee :)
Wait I'm so confused....has the game been updated? I got a feed notif that the game got updated but I can't see anything...am I blind? please fellow Keyframes enjoyers HELP MEH
The devs posted an announcement about the First Summer Semester release (which is going to be on Nov 2026) and probably did some groundwork for its upcoming release.
Cameron, I want you soooo bad😭😭😭 What must I DOOO
THIS IS STIL SOSOSO CUTE idk if its fully released but lawd let us romance cam im so in love w them brooo no one compares
I know an otome/VN is goooood when it makes me fall for an LI that is usually not my type. I have to yap about it.
It took quite a few playthroughs, but Jamie is my absolute favorite, which I was not anticipating at all. He's not even close to my type IRL or in otomes/VNs.
I think this happened because being in that big friend group all the time made me want to seek some peace and quiet, and Jamie was exactly that. This made me gravitate towards him in later playthroughs, even though I still wasn't considering pursuing him as an LI. But he really changed me when he started to open up more and became a little less "perfect" around us. I was loving seeing his character develop, and now I'm left wanting to see even more of it. I can't wait to see Jamie again in the summer semester!!
Bro, I just started and I was already blown away by the incredible voice acting! Wonderful job! Also, based on the character sheets, the art looks top notch too! Love it!!!
Checked the released schedule in Steam and it said it will be in Q4 2026.
i would like to think that the itch version might get updated first or that Q4 is a "just-in-case-it-gets-delayed" schedule.
Wait they moved it? it was Q3 last I checked
Again, i said "in Steam".
For all i know, Steam and itch.io may have different release dates. It could be a precaution for those unexpected events that would cause delays or it could just be an input error on Steam.
I also meant on steam. i was surprised they changed it on steam as it was Q3 there as well
Ah, i see. i'm now hoping that the production will go on smoothly and that they don't run into any game-breaking issues.
im honestly really curious if there are any non-male love interests planned??
Based from an ask from 2024, having three male LIs was a spur of a moment kind of thing.
The devs did say that that Keyframes is not a dating sim in a recent ask. Yes, you can date any of the three LIs but it's more of a bonus and you will not be punished if you want to focus on your relationships with Reynah, Deja and/or Cameron instead.
alrr, ty for letting me know
Well I'll take what I can with Cameron and Deja. Especially Cameron...
Str8/ yaoi🤢🤮 men bad, give me yuri. Maybe your next game will be good 🤞
Hello,
I just want to say that while I can understand the frustration/disappointment that follows when a game doesn't have LIs corresponding to your preferences, that does *not* mean the game itself is bad. Please consider the developers'—who have poured a lot of time and energy in this— feelings before making such harsh statements.
Have a nice day :)
Men bad = game bad 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
no brain ahh
ass*
does anyone know when the next update is?? i'm like begging on my knees for the summer season to release
I don't think it has a specific date yet, but I remember they said in tumblr that it'll be somewhere between August or September this year!
OH I hope so!!
on tumblr they said mid august of this year
does anyone know how to get the third cg? it's the only one I'm missing 😭 (i love this game so much btw, can't wait for summer update!!!)
Hello,
Are you talking about the third CG in the first row starting from the left? If so, you can get it by playing the rainy day event :) (I can't remember the exact variation, but I'm sure it's in the guidebook (the official guidebook for Spring is free), just look for the rainy day event in that and you'll finally be able to complete your collection of CGs!)
Edit: P.-S.: If you don't want to check the guidebook so as not to spoil yourself, just say it and I can look it up for you and add a "spoiler" comment with the answer later on :)
I finally got it thank you so much!! <3
love the game but we had no update whatsoever since 2024, is the game sorta discontinued or sum??? am getting worried :(
Noo check twitter, they're pretty active. Summer is coming out soon.
do you know how soon? i don't have twitter so i can't check
There isn't a fixed date but it's coming out this year, I heard it might be on September but I can't say for sure.
They said it'd come out in november
ion got twitter but thank you
Man, I basically downloaded the demo on Steam because of Cameron, and when I found out they're not a love interest? I was so disappointed. It was a total letdown, genuinely... 😞
ME TOO I THOUGHT THEY WERE A LI FOR A MONTH
oh god 💔😭
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE PECRY OMD MY BABY THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME I CANT WAIT FOR THE SECOND PART AND CAMERON MY CHILDDDD AAAH THANKYIUU
the LIs are great but man id love to also smooch cameron theyre ADORABLE

YEAH. IF WE CAN'T DATE, LEMME KISS EM ON BOTH THEIR CHEEKS! I'd love our besties as LIs more because i'm a sucker for friends to lovers. And Cam is just fine asf...I'll go down the friendship route!

jamie porter my beloved
I may be aroace-spec but I will always make exceptions for people like percy god damn
but also elio is so underrated icl </3 bababooey was funny as hell bruh
Do we have a release date for the summer update? I'm really looking forward to the next part
I know it's Q3 of this year (so right around the corner), but it would be nice to have a specific date or week
They don't have a date for summer yet, but maybe closer to September! I'd recommend turning on notifications in case it changes tho! That's what I'm doing!
Percy marry me!!! σ(≧ε≦σ) ♡
I DESPERATELY NEED CAMERON.
IKR, ME TOO!!! 💔💔💔
i totally misread the cast list when i first found this game and thought Deja, Cam and Reynah were all also love interests :,) the whole cast is so amazing.. in another life then Deja, Cam and Reynah.
Anyways im seriously obsessed with this game (don't ask me how many times ive replayed it). i js feel rlly good playing i have no notes other than "i couldnt stop smiling my whole playthrough(s)." i cannot WAIT for the next update.
it's been like 2yrs, i'm desperate too :,)
stay tuned!! its coming out very soon!
*happy little air kicks from Percy just being Percy*
