"Two years ago, we released The Diary for the first time as a Valentine’s gift to our backers. This was, originally, just a small project to help promote our main game, The Letter, while it was still in development. We never really expected anything to come out of The Diary, so no words can express how thankful (and shocked) we are that after two years, it has garnered more than 100,000 installs and now has its own little fanbase.

We owe this to you." - The Diary Epilogue, Developer's Notes

### 5/5 — Cute!😻

*2025-07-07, version 2.0*

### 2/5 — Still can’t replay and change choices?

*2020-02-02*

### 5/5 — Great story!

*2017-04-03*

I like the reading Rebecca's dairy so far, but I wish the story continues on and want more. I wonder if Ashton Frey write his dairy ...(or maybe a journal) too. I'm so curious about his family situation and writing down his opinions at school.

### 5/5 — Adorable

*2017-02-26, version 1.0*

Only on Entry 2 but it is already great.

### 5/5 — Teo rules!

*2016-04-29*

I discovered this game thanks to Teofilo's songs on KickStarter. The Diary is really funny! Rebecca is so cute. I can't wait to play The Letter!

### 4/5 — Glitch?

*2016-04-15*

So, the game itself is amazing and very cute. It was a nice little add-on and has me looking forward to The Letter, but has made me less impatient. I recommend playing this if you haven't already.

The important thing though, since I wasn't sure where to put this is that I found a bug, I think. I got this game a few days ago, but forgot to claim keys two days in a row. I claimed the first one finished that chapter, great, but then when it gave me the chance to purchase new keys or restore purchase, I hit restore thinking that it would give me the key from the other day too. It did, but it also gave me UNLIMITED keys, which takes away from potential money for the project...
