Although I didnt like how there was not one good happy ending, it showed real life and that theres not always such good ending. I appreciate this game. I really hope you make more games like this for mobile, all love. ### 5/5 — Absolutely stunning *2023-08-18, version 1.1.3* It’s worth the money. The art style alone is worth it. This creator creates so many gorgeous games, some of which are similar and free (Missed messages for example.) I adore this game, it makes me cry every time and it’s worth every cent paid. ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2023-07-08, version 1.1.3* If only there was a happy ending ### 5/5 — This game will make you cry *2023-04-24* It’s so nice how they found love but then at the end someone that they love passes away and it’s so sad to see somebody you love passing away it really fill my heart with love yet I will cry when ever the end comes I hope they make an other part to it I will be happy if they see each another agin. ### 5/5 — gives feelings i have never felt before *2023-04-16, version 1.1.3* i played missed messages and loved it, that game hit me hard and i didn’t know if i was emotionally prepared for another game by her. So about a month later today, i finally had the courage and played the game. at the start it felt lacking, but then i played it again and tried for a different ending. it hit me hard, and then i kept playing, just getting every ending. at the end i chose to go back to the ending i got my second run, and i was absolutely destroyed. i cannot describe the feelings and just everything this game gave me. this game is incredible; it’s a soul crusher, the art is great, the music really grew on me, and it’s just a great story. i cannot recommend this game enough, the fact that this game is only 3$ is criminal. ### 5/5 — Beautiful touching story *2023-03-28, version 1.1.3* What a beautiful work and touching story! It have beautiful art style and warm music. Makes me have really strong feeling and touches me a lot. As a player who achieved the true end after a several try, I have a very complex feeling towards the end. But anyway, that is really awesome story and recommend. ### 5/5 — Favorite visual novel by far *2023-03-09, version 1.1.3* Angela He’s visuals and writing really draw you into the story and characters and she is overall a great storyteller. Would 100% recommend it is so worth the money ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-01-17, version 1.1.3* Sobbed at the end. 10/10 recommend. Lovely story. ### 5/5 — Love the game😢😭 *2022-12-31, version 1.1.3* I would like to thank the creators for making a that includes the best stuff ever this is a beautiful game when I got to the old ending I was going to pass out and when I flip the page and I saw what they gave the rest of the page to us to fill out my love story about my life well I will give a thank you to the creators for this game has grown for us now teaching people how to never give up give this game 5 stars please 😢🥰😭 ### 5/5 — More games like this PLEASE! *2022-12-03, version 1.1.3* Wow. Made me cry and happy and hopeful and laugh! The dialogue is so realistic too! WE NEED MORE GAMES LIKE THIS! And thank you for no in app purchase nonsense! I’m always happy to spend a good $5-10 on a good mobile app game :) ### 5/5 — So good it made me cry *2022-12-03, version 1.1.3* I really love this game and it makes me full on cry please write a lot of ending where may survives and has grandchildren and at the end they both die of old age but they have kids before that so please make just a few. Thanks for the game it’s better than beyond this universe - sincerely a plain lesbian girl ### 5/5 — Wow I actually cried *2022-10-07, version 1.1.3* Didn’t anticipate shedding tears over fictional characters in a game app, but my brain got tricked by how relatable and realistic this was…… ugh…… my gf and I broke up over two years ago, and I still haven’t even come close to dating anyone else. I’m so tired of being alone. Woe is me… Boo. >_> ### 4/5 — Not very long *2022-10-02, version 1.1.3* It was a good game and I loved the graphics and storytelling, but it was so short. Within ten minutes I had finished the game, and it was just boring. ### 5/5 — Just beautiful *2022-08-11, version 1.1.3* I loved the story and all the endings. It’s so well done and pretty! Exactly my kind of style. But I don’t think this is very appropriate for 4 year olds. Someone that young might not understand what a brain tumor and it’s not exactly great to give them worries like these so I would say this game if for 10+. I also like that this game doesn’t collect data or include in-app purchases. I hate it when you pay for a game and then have to pay more money!!! All in all, amazing game. I would totally recommend it and it’s a perfect LGBTQ+ story! 👏😄 P.S. go check out their other games! There great too!!! ### 5/5 — 😭 *2022-08-10, version 1.1.3* The game is great but I can't find any happy ending in this game, which makes me so sad ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2022-08-04, version 1.1.3* Between the story line, characters, and music everything is beautiful. The game play wasn’t as long as the description says but I’m alright with that. I love the two characters- August and May- and their different personalities. The game was beautiful and I really loved going through and playing for the different endings. Thank you for such a wonderful game! Originally I came here because I’d played another game “there’s this girl” and this game had similar feels to that one. It did not disappoint! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Langweilig *2024-12-01, version 1.1.3* Es ist wirklich langweilig sorry ### 1/5 — Why? *2024-01-02, version 1.1.3* Why can't I make them happy? ### 1/5 — Poor quality - feeling like a uni senior project *2023-09-02, version 1.1.3* Poor quality Cliche story I might give it a pass if it’s a university final project ### 1/5 — not realistic *2022-06-05, version 1.1.3* If you say no to one thing (eg: a kiss), the game is over and everything resets back to zero. ### 1/5 — No sound *2021-06-15, version 1.1.2* For some reason when I start up the game it plays no sound or music. I have the volume up in the settings and on my phone. ### 1/5 — content warning *2020-05-18, version 1.1* i understand that you can’t keep track of everyone’s triggers, but i really would’ve wished for a content warning concerning health, because i have severe anxiety that concerns my health, and for the last year i’ve been in a horrible episode and convinced myself that i have brain tumor, and it got so bad to the point where it sent me into psychosis, and it’s so bad that i can’t even bring myself to go to the doctor to get tests because i’m too terrified of going. anyway, as i was finally getting out of my episode, i played this game and now i feel as though i’ve gotten set months back, i really wished you would’ve put more about what it contained :( ### 2/5 — . *2024-03-13, version 1.1.3* Coloquem português por favor🥺🥺🥺 ### 2/5 — upset… *2021-06-15, version 1.1.2* it’s a great game, the only problem is it won’t let me replay to get the “other ending”. it’s really upsetting to see that i spent $3 just for this game to work once :( ### 3/5 — It’s a ok game *2022-06-17, version 1.1.3* It’s a good game but isn’t it to inappropriate for kids it says 4+ can play it but it’s lgbtq kids should not learn that especially for young ones whoever made this should not allow 4 year olds to play it my younger sister played it she said there was a lot of inappropriate kissing and lgbtq things pls fix it ### 3/5 — cute but really short *2022-06-04, version 1.1.3* the game is cute and the style is great but i’m so confused on why it is so short??? it lasted like 10 minutes and i very confused why it’s £2.50, but apart from that it’s sweet, doesn’t really expand on much though it goes so fast. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — its beautiful *2026-07-19, version 1.1.3* this game/graphic novella is heartbreakingly, tragically, beautiful. the first time may died, (morbigavirus) i was at a loss for words.. then she died of a brain tumor and i was even more devastated because i had more time to be with her. i finally got it working that i could insist on getting some doctors appointments and that worked out well… but the end. the end is the best part, the journal, mao, the tears hitting the last pages! i would compliment this one thousand fold, the music brought the story to life and gave it energy, the art gave the story a style that made you feel what was going on with your heart, the whole story is wonderful. another detail about the art, the rendering for the people (august and may) is so breathtakingly amazing, it feels so soft and yet so rich. i have no complaints, no doubts that this story will ever fail to make me feel/cry. ### 5/5 — its beautiful *2025-06-11* this game/graphic novella is heartbreakingly, tragically, beautiful. the first time may died, (morbigavirus) i was at a loss for words.. then she died of a brain tumor and i was even more devastated because i had more time to be with her. i finally got it working that i could insist on getting some doctors appointments and that worked out well… but the end. the end is the best part, the journal, mao, the tears hitting the last pages! i would compliment this one thousand fold, the music brought the story to life and gave it energy, the art gave the story style and made you feel what was going on with your heart, the whole story is wonderful. i have no complaints, no doubts that this story will ever fail to make me feel/cry. i even made my dad cry by having him play. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2024-12-15, version 1.1.3* This game was amazing and throughout my 6 months of contemplating on buying it I’d say it was worth it I shed a couple tears and honestly I just love it sm. ### 5/5 — So good *2024-07-29, version 1.1.3* This game is so worth playing it makes me so emotional when may passes.

Cried quite a bit.

I love how much it touches my emotions, and how as cute and calm it is, its also heartbreaking and sad in some moments, I like how the options can greatly change the story with just the slightest change you can end up with a new ending and I absolutely love how in depth it is, I like how the game also is realistic in some ways talking about life love emotions music etc and how it focuses on both the good and bad but mainly I like how deep the characters love is and how much their love is shown,this game is truly amazing and the only thing I would want from it is even more content from earlier in their life (teen years) and something that says how many endings you can have and how many you got ( like in settings something that says 2/4 endings or smth)Love this game sm --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
