Sad I can’t engage with a representative story
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your honest feedback. As a tiny indie team (just my husband and I!), every bit of player input is incredibly valuable to us.
We completely understand your disappointment about the lack of LGBTQ+ options. We want you to know that inclusive representation is absolutely on our roadmap. We're currently in early alpha, and we're working hard to expand our character roster to include male and non-binary options, both for character creation on the potential Love Interests.
As a two-person team with only one artist, we're a bit slower than big studios in creating new characters and art and shipping with all the options that we would like to from day one. Each new character takes a lot of time and effort, but we're committed to making it happen.
Your feedback helps us prioritize what to focus on next. We're taking notes and will use this to guide our development as we move forward. In the meantime, we've designed the narrative system to be flexible, allowing players to interpret relationships in their own way. We know it's not the same as explicit representation, but we hope it offers some room for personalization until we can implement full LGBTQ+ options.
We truly appreciate your patience and support as we grow this game. If you're willing, we'd love for you to revisit in a few weeks when we have added more representative options so you can see how our game evolves. Your input is shaping the future of our little game, and we're grateful for that.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We're listening, and we're working on it!Immensely enjoying the game play so far. Engagement is high and anticipation of what’s around the corner is sending thrills of delight through me.
Have been playing for several days and really enjoying the story and characters. Using emojis is a fun way to interact with the narrative, though I keep going to the same 8 emojis every time. Gotta diversify! 😅 Thnaks
It’s unplayable. I can’t get past choosing a partner without it freezing up. Now it won’t even get past the loading screen, disappointing because I was really excited to play this game! it looks cool, but who knows.

Hi Beanieraye!
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. As a small, independent developer, I genuinely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. I'm thrilled to see your excitement for the game—that energy is what drives me to create exceptional experiences.
Your issue stemmed from an overwhelming response to the latest small test, which greatly exceeded expectations. This influx of users temporarily impacted the servers, causing the freezing and loading issues you encountered.
It's important to note that the game is still in an early stage of development, similar to an alpha phase. This means you're playing a version of the game that's very much a work in progress. Your participation is crucial in helping me identify and resolve issues as I continue to refine and enhance the game.
I've since addressed these problems, and the game should now be running more smoothly. Please update to the latest version, and give it another try. I'm confident you'll find it as exciting and cool as you imagined.
Should you encounter any more issues or have further feedback, don't hesitate to reach out to me at erik@neotericgaming.com. Your experience is extremely important, and I'm here to ensure it’s nothing short of exceptional.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.Outstanding concept of directing the flow of the storyline. This puts a new perspective on the players being involved with the outcome. Fantastic!!!
