really good game; it was well-made, has a deep backstory, and really got the "it's high school in 2008" vibe down. i love akarsha so much ;vVv; was also cool that there's a mtf lesbian character. i didnt realise, even while playing, that this was by the same person who made pom gets wifi, another great and funny game. i totally thought the internal references were just because those were popular... lol!
what i don't understand is why there had to be several transspecies-misic moments. i get that some of the things said in the game don't represent a healthy mindset to have (cough. parental abuse) and that the game is better (more realistic) for it. but the two that stuck out to me after playing are the one where noelle says "even in kindergarten i understood that becoming another species wasn't an option", which is lighter and more subtle, and the scene where they collectively make fun of neil harbisson, a self-identified cyborg and transpecies person. as someone who could be considered transspecies myself it was enough to make me close the game for the night and almost turned me off it entirely. i feel like i can't recommend it to my friends, many of whom are also transspecies, even though they would otherwise really enjoy it.
Noelle and Ester were meant to be best friends.

I love it omg this is really cute
A loveable story that's amazingly relatable and realistic, lighthearted yet hitting me hard in the feels whenever it feels like it.
Does anyone know if dubbing it is okay?
Brianna Lei said she's okay with fanmade content, gameplays and memes. Not really sure about fanmade voice acting but I'm pretty sure she allows it too.
THIS IS SO CUTE!!! me and my s/o played this together we had an amazing time!! thank u sm for making this masterpiece!! <3
Hey, thanks for the loveliest story! Is there any possibility we could see an added trigger warning/skip section button for Min's difficult experience?
hey! i know it may be triggering for some and i really understand that, but i think it's very important for her backstory, and there IS a trigger warning in this very same page. (Content warnings: brief written depictions of parental emotional+physical abuse (no visuals), ableist slurs.) so i dont really think it's necessary. /nm
love it!!! can you make it longer and a little more pleeease???
great visual novel :) i love the story and the funny moments :) good job :)
