pretty much what I do is 1) make myself unlikeable to Jamie (so open the door to the volunteers and call out for him) and 2) don’t be so competitive around Elio (lose the QTE’s and choose a more casual volleyball game). And joke around with Percy when you get the chance, as well as choose to search the front of the house and win the QTE there (IIRC I THIINK). I hope that helps?
Hello, Blankhouse team! My name is Sonsoles, I'm an English to Spanish (Spain) translator. I love playing otome games and coming of age is probably one of my favorite themes ever, so I'd really love to volunteer to translate Keyframes if that's something you're interested in! I would love to translate a game that allows for creativity thanks to its humor and fun dialogues, like this one.
There are two examples of my Itchio translations on my profile, but my contact email is sonsolesmendezalv@gmail.com, if you have any questions!
The Demo for this game was longer than I expected, and it left me falling in love with all the characters even more than the original Demo. The interactions with each of the characters is so unique and warm, I absolutely loved it. It felt as if the bickering and funny moments with everyone was actually happening in the moment. I really love the options of having romance or friendship. I am excited for when the rest of the game comes out, no matter how long it takes. This game is very well written and wonderfully made, the moments, the characters, the art, the scripts, etc. It is one of the best games I have played on here, congrats on the extended Demo release and great work on Keyframes, it is work to be proud of!
I expected the Demo to end after the BBQ but then it just kept going and going and going!!!~ Utterly hooked and in love with all of the characters!! I got so protective of Jamie so quickly goodness. The art, the voice acting, the different mechanics (I'm so shit at QTEs but they're so fun!!!) everything is so amazing!!! My MC/SI has stats!!! It sounds like there's a lot going on but it never feels overwhelmingly so!! Oh I'm so looking forward to more of this. Sorry, time for me to dive into the the fandom side of this now (fanart pls im begging artists). P.S Take my money <33
I am so pleasantly surprised! I love the way you build up the MC with questions at the start and develop the character alongside several really interesting and fleshed out love interests. I can't wait to see more. Seriously scared to get addicted lol.
This game is such a gem! There has never been a game, I believe, that I want to play for every romantic character! Each of them have a unique personality and are endearing in their own unique manner. Even the non-romantic characters and NPC's have unique stories to tell, so if you give it a go, you'll fall in love with them all. I wish Blank-House, an incredible studio, all the best in futher producing this great, inclusive, and overall welcoming game. Definitely recommend the game; looking forward to the next season! <33
If you are determined to raise a specific character's Affection ASAP, you might have to make some OOC dialogue choices or other decisions during the barbecue event. For example, Elio likes a competitive MC, but it would be OOC for me to pick that for the MC I created, so I had to give up on those Affection points.
You also might have to make an effort to not be as appealing to the other characters if you want Percy to have the highest points. If your dialogue and actions are very appealing to Elio and Jamie, but less appealing to Percy, that might be the problem.
In the full game, this won't be as big of an issue, because you'll have multiple semesters to build Affection with a specific character, and you're bound to find Events and dialogue choices that work for you. The relationship might build more slowly, but you'll still get there!
Through checking the reviews and stalking blank house's tumblr, it just makes me laugh. The internet never fails to fall in love with the NON-ROMANCEABLE characters. Can't blame them, I've done three different playthroughs of spring at this point with different seasonal personalities, and I never pass the opportunity to tell Cam they're hot.
Anywayyyyy, I have spent like 24 hours in this game. That's a lot of time for a game that isn't even a QUARTER of the way done?? It boggles the mind, truly. I don't even know where to begin without going on a gushing tangent of non-sensical word vomit, but I shall do my best.
I ended up finding this by chance, from a tumblr post who compared it to Our Life. I was certainly curious, but I was also kind of... skeptical?
So I played the demo before the spring semester came out, and I was delightfully surprised. The personality quiz was a nice touch, the characters were loveable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the writing.
Then the spring semester came out, and dear LORD. For a new studio, I didn't expect to go so HARD on the choices and branching narrative. Seeing how to characters developed was such an experience.
(Minor spoiler warning) Like how I felt proud as Cam slowly became more open around the new friends, being delighted with Deja's insistence on not doing something, to only relent when she sees it's something her friends want, smiling at Percy's quiet loyalty to his friends, then the immediate whip-lash of him trying to distract from it, feeling heart-broken at how the ever-smiley Elio DEFLATED when animals seemed to just not like him (I love animals, but not liking Elio? These animals do NOT pass the vibe check), and laughing at how mischievous Jamie turned out to be, and the beautiful friendship born of boat-based puns.
There is so much love, thought and care put into these scenes and characters, it's hard not to adore all of them. I can't put into the words the joy this has already brought me, and IT'S ONLY THE FIRST SEASON??? LIKE, THERE'S MORE TO COME???
TLDR: I could gush about this game for hours (and I will, just not in a single review lol), and I'm eager to come along for the ride.
literally counting down the says until the KS launches because this game has really brought me so much joy and i haven't even finished a full spring term yet...everything is just so beautiful and the dialogue really feels like i'm talking to/hanging out with friends. i also love how many variations there are for the situations that actually mean something, or give it enough flavor text to feel new. very impressed by the team's hard work so far and i hope you guys keep at it to see your full vision fulfilled!
I thought Cam was a love interest when I started playing the demo oh nooo! It's okay because I love Percy but im still abit sad! very lovely game , a lot of beautiful art and music that pulls me into the environment but the finals feels were too real for me (technically midterms but I had to take a break lol!)
this is genuinely so amazing;( thank you to everyone involved for making this! i'm currently in my last semester of college, and it's been a really difficult journey! this game brought so many smiles to play, and i will play it a billion more times.
This game is so cute! I saw the Tumblr page and decided to check it out, and I've been playing the whole day. The entire cast has so much personality, and the music and art style are just so good! Additions like the group chat name changing based on the events or the prior conversations, if you scroll up, are subtle, but add so much character. I'm really excited for the next season
(If anyone can share how they got some CG'S I would love that)
I don't wanna leave too crazy of a comment, but I've been following you all since just a little after the very first release of Keyframes' initial demo and wow- the way you have improved the game is beyond incredible. I mean, it's not just the art, but the music, the writing, the UI, the list goes on and on. It is so obvious that the entire team loves this game deeply and wants to see it succeed (including me and many others), and all that hard work you have all put in is so incredibly recognized and acknowledged. This first spring season was so much more than anything I could ever ask for in a game (it was incredible and I had so much fun with all the characters), and I'm so excited to see where this all takes us :')
I love this game so much. It really is super replayable, with tiny changes having actual impacts on the story thats told, the art used, and the things people say. I'm very much looking forward to seeing and supporting more of you guys' incredibly beautiful work.
I had to say it I adore this game with every fiber of my being!!! Since I discovered the spring release I think just two days ago, I've religiously grinded out all the routes and cgs. (If you need help finding some of the cgs just ask and Ill try and help) But the characters are all so well written in my opinion, each of them just have their own distinct personality and mesh so well together and UAGH. I will be in a rabbit hole for this game for awhile, though I know anymore updates will be a long wait. I'm excited to see what comes out of it; SO KEEP WORKING HARD DEVS!! I'll cheer you on the best I can \o/
Its at beginning game when you're at the party, when you go looking for one of the one of things in the scavenger hunt you have to fail the quick time events running from one of the guys. So basically let them win! I'm sorry if my reply was to late I just got the email for this, hope it helped!
The one above the burger you get if you go with Elio and Percy during the study event. And the one above the study CG is during the rainy day. I'm not sure if you want to discover how to get it yourself, but in case you don't I explained it to someone else a little further down!
I went outside and played with them. At the end you can either invite the boys to join you at the apartment or go back with just Cam and Deja. If you go back with just the two of them, Percy will send the CG in the group chat!
try and do the rainy day on the first day of hang outs. If Cameron is comfortable with the guys, they will typically invite them no matter what. So you could do the rainy day and then just go back without them
Hello! Thanks for dropping a bug report, but I unfortunately can't help you with this error because the traceback is reporting a file that doesn't exist in our game build.
Please make sure that you're downloading the game into its own folder and not mixing it with any other games. And to, of course, not add other rpy files to the game's build. Otherwise errors like this will pop up!
You can try redownloading the game and if a different issue persists, do let us know!
love love love it!!! definitely was worth the wait!! Cam is still my fave unfortunately lmao!
But i do think this demo got a lot of stuff right!! I went from Spring MC to a Fall MC from the extended demo to now (though i think i'm definitely somewhere in between those two). Love the fun and somewhat awkward vibes of all these new hang outs (they feel super genuine). Everyone feels very fleshed out and lovingly crafted <3
Excited to see where things go from here!
(if anyone knows how to get the last cg please let me know T~T)
hii if you mean the last cg at the bottom you just gotta split the group in the festival event -> spend time with one of the boys -> and sit down with Cam alone!
If you know how to get the third cg at the top or the others cgs at the study event please let meknow
I've been replaying the study room event obsessively and I can't figure out how to get the CG variations. Either it's bugged, or it requires certain stats/affection levels I'm not meeting.
Thank you, thank you thank you!! And yes!! for third at the top, play the rainy day event but don't go outside (someone said you also have to not invite them in but i'm not 100% on that part)
Hi, how did you trigger the rainy day event? This is the first time I'm hearing of it.
Also wanted to let you know there's more variants of the library cgs depending on which place you go with both groups; the devs confirmed on their Tumblr it's currently bugged and will be patched soon! If you check the gallery and click on each library cg, there’ll be 1/3 or 1/2 available.
Oh! i was wondering why that was happening on those specific CGs. Thanks for the heads up!
As for the rainy day, i think it triggers if you beg to not study more in one of the group chats (the options are basically: study, do chores or have one more free day). Cam will text you asking to hang out after and the rainy day should trigger
I'm amazed by how natural the characters felt (and I love the game mechanics and seasonal personalities—Fall is my go-to!). The progress in our small group of friends' relationships is so nice. This VN has great potential; I can’t wait for Kickstarter!
absolutely in love with all the characters and their dynamics the amount of times ive screa! can't wait to replay the update with all the MC personalities aaaaa 💗
p.s. banana ketchup mention now this is the representation i need

CAMERON! I THOUGHT THEY WERE A LOVE INTERESTTTT. Oh well. In my heart they are. Love the vibe of the gameee
omg YESSS, they are so cute :(
THE WAY I WAS CRASHING OUT AS SOON AS I SAW REFERENCES LIKE BLOOMING PANIC?!?! ICONIC GAME OMG
this game has a grip on my SOUL. AND THE REFERENCES? I simply cant get enough this is just amazing
I love this game💖
I CANNOT get Percy! I swear it feels like I’ve done every option. I don’t know what to do😭
pretty much what I do is 1) make myself unlikeable to Jamie (so open the door to the volunteers and call out for him) and 2) don’t be so competitive around Elio (lose the QTE’s and choose a more casual volleyball game). And joke around with Percy when you get the chance, as well as choose to search the front of the house and win the QTE there (IIRC I THIINK). I hope that helps?
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’ve been trying to get him for the past two days. I needed to fail the QTE’s!
i love this so much! all the branching events and unique playthroughs are really cool, im looking forward to seeing more!
wait is this just a demo?? its so long i thought this was the whole thing lmaoo

absolutely fantastic, that is the only way that i can put it!
the blooming panic cameo was unexpected to say the least, though...
thats so funny lol where was the blooming panic cameo???
I think it's that Jamie's VA (Charlatean) is also NakedToaster's VA

I'm crying, I can't get on Percy's route, I'm being chased by Jamie and Elio TT0TT

It's out of pocket that I can flirt so much with Cam when they have been confirmed unromanceable! 😩
I love it, my biggest surprise is that cam is not a RO.Which makes my heart suffer ( ;´ - `;)
This VN is sooo well-made and interesting(the variations, UI and partial voice acting!). I hope it gets fully funded when the Kickstarter launches. <3
I had to say it I adore this game with every fiber of my being!!! Since I discovered the spring release I think just two days ago, I've religiously grinded out all the routes and cgs.

hi! do you remember how you got the fifth (left bottom corner) CG?
Its at beginning game when you're at the party, when you go looking for one of the one of things in the scavenger hunt you have to fail the quick time events running from one of the guys. So basically let them win! I'm sorry if my reply was to late I just got the email for this, hope it helped!
ahhh thank you! My competitve ass was not letting them win in any of my playthroughs 😅
PFF so true I did the same until I was trying to figure out my missing cg
Hey~ Can you help me to get the 7th CG ? (second on the right bottom ) It's the last one I didn't unlock and I have no idea how to get it !
elio. love him.
It's so good!! Percy my love
Nope, they're supposed to be cg variants depending on which place the group went! Devs confirmed it's bugged rn and will be patched soon.
The one above the burger you get if you go with Elio and Percy during the study event. And the one above the study CG is during the rainy day. I'm not sure if you want to discover how to get it yourself, but in case you don't I explained it to someone else a little further down!
It's really good! Fun conversations and activities. Looking forward to more~
I should have read about the game properly before accidently flailing in love with Cam. ヾ(:3ﾉｼヾ)ﾉｼ
I love the demo and probably have played it over twenty times by now. But it seems that I can’t ever get the rainy day CG? 😭
I got it by not inviting them in for soup after playing outside!
you are currently my most favorite person in the world 😭 tysm. I really just couldn’t figure it out
Did you go outside and play with them first or reject the invite altogether? I tried the former but didn't get the CG.
I went outside and played with them. At the end you can either invite the boys to join you at the apartment or go back with just Cam and Deja. If you go back with just the two of them, Percy will send the CG in the group chat!
Thanks!
I tried doing that, but they always seem to come over, right after playing in the rain. Is there something I need to do so they don't come over?
try and do the rainy day on the first day of hang outs. If Cameron is comfortable with the guys, they will typically invite them no matter what. So you could do the rainy day and then just go back without them
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

it's been 20minutes and i still haven't moved past the kitchen scene- his face, his voice- eeeuuuaaAAGGHHH HIS VOICE-
ahem.
i'm gonna turn myself into a fictional character for this man istg-
JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE JAMIE
love love love it!!! definitely was worth the wait!! Cam is still my fave unfortunately lmao!
But i do think this demo got a lot of stuff right!! I went from Spring MC to a Fall MC from the extended demo to now (though i think i'm definitely somewhere in between those two). Love the fun and somewhat awkward vibes of all these new hang outs (they feel super genuine). Everyone feels very fleshed out and lovingly crafted <3
Excited to see where things go from here!
(if anyone knows how to get the last cg please let me know T~T)
hii if you mean the last cg at the bottom you just gotta split the group in the festival event -> spend time with one of the boys -> and sit down with Cam alone!
If you know how to get the third cg at the top or the others cgs at the study event please letmeknowI've been replaying the study room event obsessively and I can't figure out how to get the CG variations. Either it's bugged, or it requires certain stats/affection levels I'm not meeting.
Thank you, thank you thank you!! And yes!! for third at the top, play the rainy day event but don't go outside (someone said you also have to not invite them in but i'm not 100% on that part)
Hi, how did you trigger the rainy day event? This is the first time I'm hearing of it.
Also wanted to let you know there's more variants of the library cgs depending on which place you go with both groups; the devs confirmed on their Tumblr it's currently bugged and will be patched soon! If you check the gallery and click on each library cg, there’ll be 1/3 or 1/2 available.
Oh! i was wondering why that was happening on those specific CGs. Thanks for the heads up!
As for the rainy day, i think it triggers if you beg to not study more in one of the group chats (the options are basically: study, do chores or have one more free day). Cam will text you asking to hang out after and the rainy day should trigger
No problem, and thanks so much for your help! I roleplay with a studious/diligent MC so it would have taken me hours to find that CG lmao.
I'm amazed by how natural the characters felt (and I love the game mechanics and seasonal personalities—Fall is my go-to!). The progress in our small group of friends' relationships is so nice. This VN has great potential; I can’t wait for Kickstarter!
Obs: Percy is hilariously nice. :D
I don't know if this is a bug but the gaming session with the crew seems to just end abrubtly into everyone on the green. Just letting you know!
can't wait for more updates.
Elio is so cute omg
absolutely in love with all the characters and their dynamics the amount of times ive screa! can't wait to replay the update with all the MC personalities aaaaa 💗
p.s. banana ketchup mention now this is the representation i need
