I would pay 10 bucks for a part 2.please make  more story!GREAT GAME!

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-03-15, version 1.0.3*

I dont usually play dating sims but my favorite characters are Etalus and Forsburn, I lowkey wish this wasnt a april fools game and had more to it lol, even though its been like six years, I feel like they should add some sort of character customization so the character you play as is actually like, interacting and like choosing their gender and stuff

### 3/5 — fun game

*2025-08-16, version 1.0.3*

this is a great game, however there were a few bugs i experienced while playing… i couldn’t change my name once i started it, and even after restarting it wouldn’t let me delete any text.

### 5/5 — cured my depression

### 5/5 — Excellent game

### 2/5 — Good so far but to short of games

*2024-05-05, version 1.0.3*

Enjoy the game a lot it was really short i hope update soon or later want more content like other characters and places new games. Just do not like this still one place like school in the beginning of game I hope take character to other places instead of school. meet other characters play more games instead of just one boring game I do not like in computer class section at all

### 5/5 — Cool

*2024-01-30, version 1.0.3*

I like it it’s a short bun cute storyline

### 5/5 — Cute! Two suggestions!

*2024-01-28, version 1.0.3*

Honestly this is super cute!! I got all the characters and it was really just a sweet little game. (Ranno and Kragg made me kick my feet and smile I'm not joking.) As a few other users have said, I think you should make the game a little longer and add expressions! That would really add something (: Overall, just a fun and cute game. I love it ★

### 5/5 — I’m lonely

*2024-01-03, version 1.0.3*
