Keyframes (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A moment that seemed innocuous at the time but ended up marking a diversion into a strange new era of your life—set in motion not by a series of jolting epiphanies but by tiny imperceptible differences between one ordinary day and the next, until entire years of your memory can be compressed into a handful of indelible images—which prevents you from rewinding the past, but allows you to move forward without endless buffering.
Holy shit, this is just basically college huh?
The story is centered around you, and your last couple of years in college!
Campus life has been relatively well for you with your two best friends by your side, but after attending a kick-back celebration in the spring semester of your second year— you find the rest of your days filled with dumb hijinks, wholesome instances, and sometimes straight up ridiculous scenarios. And it’s all because of the three guys you happened to meet at that party.
Good or bad, things start to change and the only thing you can do is experience it as it happens.

Hello! Thank you so much for all your hard work. I have loved all versions of your demo ever since you released the first one last year. <3
I'm not sure if this has been reported to you guys, but I just wanted to let you all know that I'm not getting any of the CGs with the updated demo.
hey!! i loved playing the demo and i'm very grateful for the changes that happened between one of the first versions and the extended demo (it feels as though the game has been made more accessible to read ?? i guess that's a skill issue on my part lmao but since english isnt my mother language, i've been afraid that would make the game difficult for me, especially since i love everything about it) (if i remember well percy apologizing for the way he acted upon meeting the mc again wasn't in the original version either and im grateful that was updated, but maybe i'm rememering wrong ??) gotta say the extended version made me appreciate reyna a whole lot more (have some fanwork of the sneaking upon her scene in the works) but really gotta say i've loved meeting everyone ingame and can't wait to see more
i'm very looking forward to seeing which way this game takes after tokimeki gs3 since it's one of my favorite games out there and can't wait to see where developpement is heading (what the system's going to be etc etc)
and also i wanted to report an issue i've stumbled upon, i got the winter personality description on a run although i had gotten the fall personality - i don't remember the input i had chosen however to get that result but idk maybe it's worth checking?
I love this game so much already! The characters are so well made you can notice the care and love that was put into this game. I can't wait for the finished product!! I did see a few bugs that have been previously mentioned, the winter definition being said instead of the spring/summer I got from the survey. But as well Elio and Jamie's texts (and I think Percy's too but I'm not 1000% sure) glitching to only one answer. Anyways I am excited for the final result of this game and I'm so happy that this demo is my recent hyper fixation (I cannot choose which boy I love more)
I literal just took a screenshot yesterday abot this game in my tl of twitter and I am here without searching, you appeared!!!
I named my spring!mc cameron and now he and cameron are being absolute goofballs. They're like the heathers but instead with different levels golden retriever energy.
I love this game so far! I ran into the same glitches of summer and autumn being described as winter but other than that this is a really fun game! I love the writing and artstyle! Also the randomized results of same scenes is a really nice touch!
Hiii, made an account just to give feedback!
The game is SO pretty and has a lot to do even if it's only a demo! The character feel alive and are all so interesting. I found myself wanting to be silly with them.
It goes without saying that the art is stuning too, and gives more personality to the game!
The only glitches I found where at the start with the personality tests. It gave me the winter description when I got autumm and summer(?). But if there where any other dialogue error I didn't catch them
SO exited to see how this game turns out!
technically just made an account to comment this lol... loved this so much!!! the art is sosososoosososo pretty and i immediately loved the characters 🫶🫶 reynah reminds me of one of my friends sm,, also im in love w deja and cam they're so teehee. side note i noticed a glitch where when messaging elio no matter which option you pick it gives the response for 'i like how this is ur first text to me' but i'm gonna go play this a bunch more times!!!! so cool cannot wait for it to come out fully HEHE
the same thing happened when texting jamie, and also 2 of the personality types i've gotten, instead of telling me about them, it did the winter explanation instead lol
holy absolute hell I love this demo. the brainrot has been real and i CANNOT wait for this to come out. im actually so impatient but i know that waiting will make the finished product so much better
The drawing style and a little also the landscapes remind me of the animation style of the video clip for "Summer Nights" by SIAMES.
There is something about this game that makes me feel strange and cute, I think the characters are also memorable, I found the demo very beautiful.
I typically avoid playing demo games because I become way too obsessed and replay them over and over, but it got to the point where I couldn't avoid playing this one any longer - a decision I don't regret making because holy shit. I played it and yes, I did in fact become immediately obsessed. Everything from the art to the writing is so insanely good. All the characters are so pretty as well? Gosh I love it.
ye'll i am dying i can't with Percy, and Jamie is like a little baby, my baby idk who to pick too😁😁
i love percy sm !! but jamie is also very cute lolol, idk who im set to pick when this releases. . . they're all adorable! I also love the personality quiz at the start lolol! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE RAAAAHHH :3
I just finished playing the newest demo, I played the old one too and god I love this game so much! I'm so excited to see where y'all go with the full game, all the characters are so wonderful and the bond between the three friends is probably my favorite thing in the world tbh. Can't stop grinning the whole game, I already know then when it comes out I'm gonna be recommending it to all my friends.
The demo was so good! The art style, music and interactions are so charming! I can already see who are going to be my favorites lol. I'm very excited to play and experience the full game. Looking forward to more updates/news! :D
I did want to ask tho if there was a way to freeze the moving menu background (the one that appears when taking the quiz), unfortunately it gave me horrible motion sickness when trying to take the quiz. ^^'
Hello! Thank you for playing our demo!
Sorry about the BG giving you motion sickness! As of right now, the demo handles it via a one time declaration when you first boot up the game, where it ask you if you want to play with motion transition. If you say nah, the major motions in game cease, and if you missed it the first time then my only troubleshoot suggestion is to remove and redownload the game. orz
In the extended demo we give you the chance to toggle the motion on and off in the settings, but otherwise, I'm sorry to say that the currently build doesn't have that yet. ^^,
Thank you so much for your reply! I'll go ahead and try out the troubleshoot suggestion and see if that helps! Nonetheless, its an amazing game! You guys are doing a wonderful job! C:
i'm so down bad for everyone TT i'm so excited
I couldn't stop smiling while playing this game, Elio has my heart!!! ♡
NEW UPDATE LETS GOOO
so so cute i loved this demo! i can't wait to play the full version!
SO CUTE!! I can't wait for the fully released ver <3
the art pulled me here!!
i can't wait to play it, it gives Amour Sucré vibes 🤩
been a while since i last played a game like this, I had so much fun !! def looking forward to future updates (no pressure pls ily). i LOVE the characters already :]
oh and also.. is it just me or I can't hear their voices (maxed out already)? or was it not added yet
Thank you for playing our demo :,)
Currently voice acting hasn't been added yet but we'll update the demo feature section when it has been!
jamie as a dessert would be pistachio affogato change my mind (you won't)
This was so good! Couldn't wait for more! just kidding i could totally wait no pressure but it's sooooo gooooood!!! My ego is sufficiently stroked after winning against Elio and the scavenger hunt hehehehhe
This demo has me in tears!! cause why is it... so short??? I need more of this like, at least a x100 more. I'm in love with the cast, the characters are so realistic and the dialogue was just chef's kiss. The art was amazing as well I loved all of it! The background and character designs, all of it! can't wait to see more CGs
I had a problem with the texting part at the end. The response is always the same even if you pick a different option.
OMG... just the demo and I'm already in love with EVERYONE. (Except those jerk volunteers in the kitchen, grrr.) Anyway I looooove it, even the quicktime events were fun and that's saying something. Cannot WAIT to see more, I will absolutely keep an eye out for the kickstarter.
THIS GAME IS AMAZING
AND OMG!!! The reference to OLNF on the extras!!!!
STOPPP I LOVED THIS SMMM I NEED TO GET WITH PERCY ASAP
love the new demo sm omg! i will miss jamie's garage scene and elio's old sprite art but tbh i love the changes so im just super happy abt everything!! also love the animations in the main title screen.
while playing i did get what i think is a bug though: whenever i get any result other than winter on the personality quiz, the following text still tells me abt the winter type rather than the one i supposedly got. this happened when i did a run with both Summer and Fall personalities (couldn't try Spring because i just can't seem to get the right answers for it lol)
anyways im really loving the game so far, keep up the great work guys, im wishing u all the best!!
I had the same issue!
Same here. I got the fall personality myself, but it said winter.
It hasn't even been five minutes and Cameron.... I love you so much.......
Please the way I screeched "THREE LOVE INTERESTS??? BUT THEY'RE ALL HOT" at the top of my lungs while reading the demo features😭😭
this was very cool and fun!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA it's finally here!! I binged the heck outta this all in one go! literally the highlight of my month. I love how the quiz in the beginning has way more random questions. The character intro scenes feel a lot smoother too :D
(one thing i will say from a design point with the animations during the quiz- i feel like it'd be a little less disorienting if it either scrolled a bit slower or moved from left to right instead though)
Adkhadlkaw thanks for playing the demo!
Anddd noted on the quiz animation! I can def get it to scroll slower. ^^
I really like this game so far, the characters are super endearing, bUT ALSO THE PROJECT BLUE AND OUR LIFE REFERENCES ON THE EXTRAS SCREEN????
I saw a Blooming Panic reference as well!!!
I'm on the itch io windows app and it's giving me issues to install it. Can't find a location and then says cannot read property 'build' of undefined. It's a drag because your game looks really cute and I really want to play kjasjdfhEdit: it seems to be fixed and I got it downloaded!
same here :'0 (but you can download it off the browser version for now!)
whoops! Might be because I forgot to tag the builds appropriately, but I just adjusted so hopefully it works now!
It seems to be fixed!! Thanks!! Can't wait to play :)
i like this game
(btw Seven's YT page link doesn't work)< Since this has been fixed I will now leave my love and appreciation for this game in its purest form.AAAAHHHHGWFUAGBUFIOBJK 😭🙏💕
lmaoooo also thanks for catching that!
I loved thisssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jamiee is so cute but omg Percy is also so amazing. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaa. i cant im so excited to play the full thing one dayyyy!!!
This looks sooo cute, i haven't gotten past the initial first scene tho bc i keep redoing the personality test T_T is there info abt the different seasonal personalities so i can stop being so indecisive??
I found the tumblr post !!! i can already tell this game will be a favourite
became a Percy lover within 30 seconds of meeting him. i WILL be supporting the kickstarter and i cannot wait to have more moments with him<333!!
had to come back with the mini update: i am still 1000% a Percy lover. i loved all the new changes (i even loved the old ones too tbh) and i feel like this gave me a better perspective of all of the characters? i had already loved them, but i love them even MORE and i couldn't help but giggle and kick my feet at every interaction. can't wait to give a more fleshed-out review when the full game releases, so in the meantime, i will play the new demo again for a second time today and anxiously await for the Kickstarter! (pls take all of my money!!)
JAMIE & PERCY???????????????????????/ GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.. CAMERON TOO................................................. I LOVR TUHIS HAME ITS SO GOOD!!!
