omfg this is BOMB, BEST visual novel ive ever played
best game I've ever played, no joke. There's a lot of representation (holyyy shittt), 10/10 characterization, AND the dialogue had me dead (the meme references were y e s ). The playthrough is pretty long (I just paused the game to make this comment, it is 1am right now as I type) but I have abso-freakin-lutely NO regrets. The character design was so uwu and I like how POC weren't just made to be the Token Side Character Of The White Protag.
Basically this was an a m a z i n g game and I strongly encourage everyone to play it !!! I !! love !! it!! so !! much !! aAAAAASKDHSKKLKS (!!!!)
-sincerely, your local wlwoc

The game is great, the art is amazing. I wanted to donate but they asked for my address and I didn’t wanna risk anything
I love this game so freaking much!!! I cried so hard at the end bc it's so beautiful :'))))
I enjoyed this game a lot! Very cute art style!
this game is rlly cute !
This was such an incredible game, it made me laugh and cry and as a wlw, this was really incredible to play because I went through many similiar things as the girls in this game and it was so, so good. Thank you for creating this!
this game actually made me think a lot about my future and how i view people and friendships, you may have given me another looming crisis over my head, but im glad you did. i'm around the same age as the characters, and am also a lesbian, so it was really strange to see a game that seems like it was made for me, with relatable yet compellingly unfamiliar characters, incredibly colorful scenes and amazing storylines. thank you so much for making this game.
I LOVE LGBT things way more than a normal person should. I loved this game personally my fav character was Min-seo. Thank you for making this!
i love this. especially with min and noelle's stories. kinda wanted to see the parent's reactions but i can't be picky haha. good job :D
i flatout loved it
This was such a great game! I enjoyed it all through
the storyline was very well thought out! I would play it again ^-^ Amazing game you created <3
Oh god, just created an account just to describe how amazing this game is !
All there characters are too precious ;w; Also I discovered this game just like that after hearing some things that I really don't wanted to hear (even if I'm not outed yet) and this really warm my little bi heart of weeb x3
(I'm french so the part with the people in yellow felt very weird on the moment xD)
DUDE I am so glad I bought the extra pages. LIZ... MY BABY
Edit: Also, have played this game 3 times and it has never failed to make me laugh. It warms my cold dead lesbian heart. SO excited for the sequel!
I loved this game so much! The graphics and overall aesthetic are so nice, the storyline is great, and there were some good jokes and memes throughout. I genuinely enjoyed it so much and highly recommend it to anyone (and am crossing my fingers for a sequel) :)
Please Make A Part 2 Would Love To Play
It is in production (as stated in interviews and on Brianna's twitter) and while it's release date is supposed to be in summer 2019, it appears to still be tentative.
This game is honestly the best game I've played here on itch. The amazing art and the characters, the plot is just great. 100% recommended. Thank you wholeheartedly to everyone involved making this game, you guys have surely put together a masterpiece.
Super cute game!!! loved it sooo much!! highly recommend!!
also i want Min to be my cute short gf! why arent their any cuties at my school like her :(((
I feel you!
this game gave me a reason to live, thanks.
hi! just wanted to say this is the absolutely the best game of All time, 11/10 would play again. everything was so beautiful,, the art, music, writing, characters, e v e r y t h i n g warmed my big lesbian heart. i love everyone who made this and i would also kill anyone over u too
a g r e e d
Such a wholesome time, big 10/10 all around.
ok so.... i made an account just to comment ! this game is so incredible that im going back to redownload it just so i can donate! thank you so much to everyone behind this for giving me the first well-made, heartwrenching, adorable, and hilarious lesbian (and nb) representation i've ever had!
uh this game is so amazing I don't think i can put it into words. I legit was brought to tears at least 5 times while playing the game, it was so funny, and the characters are all so amazing. The representation is so amazing, and at the end, the message is so amazing too. If i could erase my memory to be able to play this game for the first time again i most definitely would. Thanks game devs, ya'll made my day a million times better.
Hey, I loved this game, thank you for it... I relate so much with all the girls that it hurts my soul...
Also I loved the reference of Pom Gets Wi-fi.
Also-also; is Min nonbinary??? If yes, it just makes me love and relate to her more!!!
yes, she is! such is displayed on brianna lei's tumblr faq
the cutest shit ive ever read
This game is the cutest ever! I absolutely loved the plot and its beautifully made!
This was one of the most delightful gaming experiences I have ever had. I giggled a lot ^^ Thank you so much for creating this! <3
I NEED THIS GAME IN SPANISH:(.
OMG I FINNISHED THE GAME I LOVE IT SO MUCH ITS ADORABLE EEEEEEEEEE
I love this game SO MUCH. It's the most funny, ridiculously stupid and great game I've ever played. Like EVER. Thank you for making this a thing because I find this amazing.
This game is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh and the representation! I would love to have a sequel! I really want to see what will happen to Noelle and Akarsha! I love these two!
WTF I wasn't expecting to be laughing like a whale !!!!! THIS GAME i swear... Loved it
Is it weird when a straight white boy plays this game and really loves it?
Your playthrough of the game is hilarious. You tend to go off on tangents tho.
Thank you kindly! I tend to tell a lot of stories during the streams regardless of the game being played. Took even this relatively short game several days of streaming to get through for that reason. I think everyone watching still got the full experience though and some new people were introduced to this amazing game.
I love this game so much. My only complaint is that it's not long enough.
The storyline is pretty bland. I was expecting a bit less conversation about sexuality. You don't really see in "straight stories" straight people going "OMG! I'm so straight. Let me talk about being straight. I like this because I'm straight. Heterosexuality goals!!"
let me know when and where people get tortured and murdered for being straight and therefore talking about being straight after a life of discrimination in that alternate scenario where it's actively silenced is an act of rebellion. cause let me tell ya if people actively tried to destroy a part of you and suddenly you were finally able to find a place where it might be okay to be yourself, and you were surrounded by people just like you, you'd make up for all that time you spent hiding yourself.
to be fair straight people talk about being straight all the time anyways, pretty sure that's 90% of straight romance novels
Funny how you automatically assume I'm straight for preferring less homosexuality talk in the story. You think equality is ignorance and it shows. 💀
hell yes fellow supporter of equality! lets band together! time to put more gay talk in to make up for all that straight shit i had to see as a kid
I'm glad the story was very outward in regards to sexuality. I don't see many stories like this. I'm sure there's quite a few out there, but compared to everything else, there's not enough in my opinion.
I respect that.
Gay for Min 10/10 would play again
Best game ever and that's a fact!!! <3 My heart can't take how cute this game is. <3
