The Cameron brainrot is so real rn OH MY GOD. I waana take a big chomp outta that hair rn. My compliments to the chef artist who drew Cam! Honestly a solid design, they look gorgeous. In conclusion to my rant, Cameron my beloved <3

p.s could i possibly make a bot about Cam? jus wanna make sure if that's cool with yall before i do anything!!!

Hehe just got done writing a rating for this game and I apologise for the fact I'm probably gonna just keep word vomitting praises. But, this is one of the most cosy and down to earth vn's ive played in a while. It literally felt like its very own safe space. So I just wanted to say a huge thanks to the devs for this well-needed break from the stress of school and university applications. I can't stress this enough but I'm going to be eagerly awaiting any advances in the games development and I look forward to particpating in any future kick starters. Anyone and everyone should play this game because its so well made and all the characters are so darn loveable (my personal fav is Cam hehe). And the art dont get me started on all the character designs and the BACKGROUNDS. I could honestly keep rambling but all in all I love this game so thanks for making it :P

If Cam ever gets a route, best believe I'm romancing them in a heartbeat. Enby buddies 4life. <3 

Oh my god!!! I've been playing for like 5 minutes and I'm in love!! The art and writing styles are so amazing and I LOVE that there's already tons of choices since that's something I really love in life/dating sims. Keep up the amazing work and take good care of yourself!! <3

I had already left a comment here some months ago. So, sorry if I'm being annoying 🙈 But I finally got to replay with all the personalities (even so I'll always be a spring girlie 🌸) and different options... I fell even harder for the project and the boys too hehe 💘 Percy stop being so interesting and cute pls!! The brainrot is real as I even found the spotify playlists?? And they're so good? Immaculate music taste fr! I specially loved Cameron and Percy's one 🛐 Hope to see more of you soon in Twitter (and Tumblr too so we get to ask everything about the cast 👀) Best of lucks with the development! I'll never get tired of recommending Keyframes!! You guys are amazing 💖 The writing is the best of the best always taking into account every tiny little detail, reaaally immersive 💓

The graphics are stunning; especially of note: the facial expressions- a perfect balance of cartoonish and realistic. The gameplay had really fun twists in it too. Unfortunatelly, I cannot say that I enjoyed this game. I can appreciate it for the obvious work that went into it, but I found it boring all too often.  Ofcourse, I was not expecting to be entirerly drawn in; this is a slice of life afterall. But at the very least I had hoped for the world to fully immerse me and to be able to feel connections with the characters. But that just wasn't there, and it all felt quite alien and disconnected. That being said, I can't think of any particular reasons why it is this way, other than the fact that some scenes feel very drawn out with unnecessary amounts of detail. While I can appreciate the passion for writing here, I feel it goes a little overboard at times and really slows the pace

This was amazing!! I've already replayed it a dozen times, I think! Is there anywhere to see progress updates about the game?

I've been going back to play the other personalities, but, may I just say, as an autumn birthday-haver, autumn is me. Like, the personality is so accurate sometimes it's a little scary lol. Amazing game, I can't wait to play the rest!!

such a lovely and cozy game :-)

there’s a lot of of variety in the endings and how the scenarios play out, and i was pleasantly surprised to see how huge or sometimes subtle the changes were when playing with different personalities . makes re-playing and catching  these details all the more fun !

the characters were all quite charming as well - my favorites so far are Percy and Cameron <3 exploring the various dynamics with both Percy and our friends was fun to see, and made me smile a lot. 

all I can say is that the work you put in to make this demo really shines through!  ❀

I WANT TO DATE CAAM but like really this game was so good and i think once it fully comes out it could be on Our Life lvl of amazing i hope this fully comes out soon

I absolutely ADORE this demo!!! I've played through it so many times, but I still haven't seen the CGs? Is there something specific I'm supposed to do to see them?

When it gets fully released, I know it's going to be one of my favorite VNs, for sure. <3

I am giddy and filled with so much joy over how fun this demo was!!! the art is stunning, the gui is so cool, the references made were hilarious, and the writing is just *cue cam's chefs kiss* bless yall's hearts for creating elio and his cute bear bucket hat (and was that a bloomic patch i sawww), it was love at first sight. also since I spotted that OL pic I hope you guys know that yall seriously gave me the same cozy/heartfelt feelings I get when playing GB's work which I was so happy to experience; wishing you all the best and good luck for the potential kickstarter!

i had a lot of fun! the art style is so pleasant and characters look great. i love how we got a big A friend group and percy looks the most intriguing for me. i mostly love the title screen, lololol. it's really cozy. can't wait for the whole game, you did an amazing job! <4-1

I tend to throw the phrase "this was made with love" a lot but I could feel the love that went into this just from the menu alone, I was absolutely blown away the second the demo booted! The music, the art direction, the writing, the characters, just the lkasfmdas EVERYTHING!!! Everything feels so... genuine? It's just Fun to experience and I couldn't stop smiling while playing! I def need to see how the seasonal personalities affect the narrative (tested starting with summer vs fall and SCREAMED at the immediate difference!!), so much to explore! I can tell how much work into this and it's Such a delight to experience and I can't wait to see how it progresses and develops ^_^ thank you so much for sharing this with the world!!

I also couldn't donate and received a pay pal error. I really liked the personality quiz aspect of the game. I am looking forward to the Kickstarter campaign. Nice characters so far, and it was cute and fun!

AAAAAA so much love for this game already!!  I can't wait to see how it develops. the vibes and the art are immaculate <3 As someone who didn't have a great time in college it's like getting a do-over. I can't wait to watch the story unfold :D

Also: is there an issue with paypal? i keep trying to throw money at you but i keep getting an error T~T

Oh i loved this game so so much <3 and I loved replaying it with all the personalities! I will definitely be playing all routes with all the personalities! I'm so excited for more updates <3

i'm so in love!!! i'll be following for updates aaaaaaaaaa

Oh my gosh. I am so in love with this. The art, the music, the story, the writing, the pacing, the voices, the UI/menu, the details, the freakin’ characters! AHHHHH, I cannot even. I usually get bored or a bit antsy with buildup, especially if it’s not really necessary, or it’s just mundane or something.. I come up with these reasons why I could just skip it, basically. But with this, I just couldn’t do that. I was hooked. It was all so genuine and endearing that I didn’t want to miss anything - that what would otherwise be a normal/possibly boring car-ride was something I was wanting to hear every word about. It’s hard to explain, but I was just captivated from the very first moment. On top of that, the three LIs - normally, there’s just one or two that tend to interest me - whether romantic or platonic/at all - but this, all three of them! It’s one of those “I guess I don’t have a type right now” kind of situations, where I find myself easily enthralled by each of them. That’s just incredible, and truly wonderful. And this is only a demo! That’s impressive. It makes me super excited for the full-release. I’m an instant-fan, now, and will definitely be waiting for this! 10/10, would recommend! A+, guys!

This was so sweet. I loved how each results of the personality quiz affects not only the morning scene, but also the enccounter with Percy. 

The art style, the title screen, the characters, everything was just so amazing.

I really hope you consider making Cam's route a stretch goal during the ks. they're just too cute to not be a li and I love me a friends-to-lovers trope imagine the sadness when you calling them hot is just seen as a passing comment :(

But I still love the current lis we have. They all have such diverse personality, and I cannot wait to get to know Percy better

finished it and love the game so far. i have my sights on percy and/or jp (i call him that bec i mostly go by jamie)

i have yet to get the cgs tho 🥹🥹🥹

This game is absolutely amazing so far, and I really need to just gush about it!

First off, I love the seasonal personality types! I got Fall (which coincidentally is my favorite season haha!), but I've run through the demo a few more times with the other personality types and it was so cool to see how many differences there are with each one.

The characters are all so so lovely too, and I'm already attached to each and every one of them!! I adore Cam and Deja with all my heart, they were so much fun to spend time with and the dynamic between them and the MC felt so natural. Reynah was great too, I especially loved all her interactions with Deja ^^. And aaaa the LIs!! Each of them are so endearing and unique, and I loved getting to meet them!! Percy is really charming and quite the romantic, Elio is so precious with such a warm personality and vibe, and Jamie is very sweet and funny even with his more closed-off demeanor. I'm holding all three of them close to my heart, and they each deserve the world ^^!! (...I do have to admit, though, I am finding myself falling for Jamie more and more with each playthrough...<3)

And overall, the game has such a comforting and vibrant feel to it. Everything comes together so beautifully - the art, the writing, the UI, the soundtrack, all of it! It's so easy to be immersed in it with all the details involved, and it perfectly nails the university feeling too! 

I'm so so so excited to see what else the game has in store, and I'm really looking forward to the future updates!! Amazing job to everyone involved <3!!!

SO GOOD!!! I've been watching the development of this for a while now and have played the demo on every personality like. (checks watch) eight times now. 

some glitches I've noticed are

• on summer route, if you out-flirt Percy, he gives the same response as if you chicken out, 'all bark no bite'
• can hear cam and dejas voices but not anyone else (intended/didn't have vas yet?)
• some of the text in the text boxes have brackets
• cam and dejas face icons in the car sometimes turn into full-body's.
• sprites overlay eachother around the volleyball scenes
• cam's not a love interest which is really just SICK AND TWISTED

I'll try and get some screenshots of the glitches if I see them again— other then that, I love it!!! I'm so excited to see where it goes <3 

fun optional bonus question for the creator(s) but what are y'alls seasons? also please get a Tumblr I'm on my hands and my knees rn

This was so much fun to play idek where to begin!!!!
I loved the character quiz at the start, I got a Summer personality! (I'm for sure going to replay this game and try and get a different one next time 👀)
I KISS ALL THE CHARACTERS MWAH MWAH their designs are stunning and they all have such great personalities, I especially loved the dynamic between Cameron, Deja & MC !
The gameplay made me very nostalgic of my years at Uni, the writing is so charming and believable I loooooveee it :) very much reminded me of Our Life, very comforting writing (if that makes sense!?) & I loved all the player choices and dialogue options you could make as well ^^

Everyone did such a great job though my gOD art, writing, music, code, UI, voice acting - wowowowowow!!! The end result is so polished my little mind is bLOWN honestly!!!

I'm glad I waited until I had enough time to play the game in one full sitting, it was so much fun :D very much looking forward to future updates ^^

p.s this is for Elio: 💍

Deja is so sweet aND SUPER PRETTY !! I'm in love with her💖

The demo is already so amazing. I can't even fathom what it'll be like once it's fully released. You guys are incredible!

bro I frickin love cam like wtf theyre ADORABLEEEE

The demo definitely delivered. My younger sib is also Cam and as such felt very called out (positive, joking) by the bestie who was so much them (excepting looks) we wondered for a minute if we knew y'all somehow.

Seriously looking forward to that potential kickstarter and anything more with these wonderful characters.  It's likely I end up coming back and playing the demo again just so I can have another fun time with the bbq shenanigans.

I really love the "moments" story mechanic so I've been keeping my eye on this for a while, and the demo absolutely delivered!

I loved each  and every one of the characters introduced, but I have to say, Cameron and Deja have my whole heart, they are exactly the kind of besties I would have and loved the interaction between the trio! (As a side note, if Cameron is ever made a dateable option, I would definitely pick them first, they are adorable and funny and despite the fact I'm probably more introverted than them, would protect them with my life. For now I am a-ok with being just besties and calling them hot while they "reverse like a NASCAR professional" - definitely not my favorite interaction so far, nope)

The love interests are all very charming with their own quirks! Like I said in my review, love what a natural charmer Percy is! Really love his vibes and interactions with MC. Jamie, Jamie is so TALL and honestly I had to laugh when I first saw him after Reynah mentioned he's like a rabbit... like he was not at all what I expected him to look like from her description lmao. Also loved how MC was comparing him to Howl and the illusion was shattered by his dry-ish personality haha but definitely felt like someone I'd get along with personally. And very curious to know what is behind the relation between him and Cameron... I'm hooked! Meanwhile Elio! Galileo! I love how he's the shortest of the 3 despite feeling like he has the biggest personality, I really like how sweet and energetic he is, though he was going overboard with the apologies at first meeting - can't wait to dig more into that! Also his bear eared bucket hat is the cutest thing ever.

Character design and art is soooo goooood I loved all of them, especially Cameron! I could stare at the art all day, amazing job on that! Expressions were all done so well and full of life! Can't wait to see more, maybe in terms of CGs or different outfits? Looking forward to the Kickstarter!

I like that we can play as different personalities in this, though in my first try I got Summer and I went "Huh doesn't sound like what I'd get" and I was right, Summer was way too bold haha! I redid the test with more 'stoic' choices and got Fall, which I definitely vibed with much more. It's only a suggestion, but maybe you could list the personality choices after the quiz result with their description, in case anyone wanted to get something else afterward (like they do in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon). But thanks to that I saw how different the wake-up and introduction scenes could be so that was cool! Will definitely redo the demo with other personalities again later!

Finally, only minor hiccups to mention is stuff like Elio's sprite popping up in front of Percy before the volleyball match, winning the scavenger hunt but outro mentioning mc lost - though when I reloaded the save at the scavenger hunt part, this time mc DID end up losing haha, not sure if it's random or set according to mc's parameters or what, but just thought to mention! 

Sorry for the super long comment, I just had to gush over how good it was 😭😭
Can't wait to see more of Keyframes, and wishing you good luck on your future Kickstarter!

This was so cute and fun!! I cannot wait for more!!!

I don't usually comment on Itch but I LOVED EVERY BIT OF THE DEMO 😭❤️ All the characters had its own spark!! The banters and interactions just felt so real 🥰 I have the biggest crush on Percy and Cameron so I'll patiently wait for the Kickstarter hehe! It was truly a delighful play. I wish the team the best of luck in the development!! 💘 I'll be following the updates on social media for sure! Hope you guys someday think of a q&a or Tumblr in the future because every character truly had a hold on me 😊
