I absolutely love this! The artstyle, the music, the writing, evrything! I just have a question, what do the names A B C and N stand for? Every other character has a normal name so i'm asumming it wasn't randomly chosen. Anyways i love it, gotta be my favorite visual novel. So excited for the full game
Thank you so much, that really means the world to us!! We hope the full game doesn't disappoint <3<3 As for the names, it's not a major plot reveal or anything but you'll learn the reason eventually in the full story! ^^;;
you can really tell how much work has been put into this! the art is amazing and the color usage ties it together so well. The music and story line makes it feel so sad but its a comforting sad, like you know things aren't gonna go how you want them to in life but it feels good to indulge in the moment. I think this is one of the best art and animation styles I have ever ever seen in a game, I mean you even made a feature that moves the picture with the mouse in the settings. You can tell someone has really poured their heart into this and it makes it so much more...just...AMAZING. This game will be in my head for years even after you finish it and that's when i know you have made an impact on me <3
ps. this music is awesome and if there is anywhere i can listen to it in my spare time please tell me! :)
Wowow thank you so much for the extremely kind words!! As much as our vision for the game has changed since the release of the demo, it still means a lot to us to hear that it can make an impact on the player 💗 We hope the full game will be able to live up to expectations!
As for the music, we had the soundtrack as a part of a Kickstarter award tier, but we may consider putting it on Youtube after the full game's release ^^
This was a really sweet demo! I did notice a couple of minor typos ("who's" rather than "whose" comes to mind) but those can obviously be ironed out. I also felt some tonal whiplash in a couple parts, but those moments were easily overshadowed by some great scenes that nailed the mark, like the scary stories and the ending heart to heart.
Avidly looking forward to the full release! Obviously the Kickstarter has finished, but is there any other way to support this game? I think it's an awesome project. Best wishes!
Aaa thank you so much, that is so kind of you 💕 Rest assured, we'll be doing a lot of ironing out, both grammar-wise and story-wise! The full version is actually shaping up to be almost entirely different from the demo structurally, so we're definitely hoping it'll all mesh together better in the end. Time will tell!
As for supporting us, for now the most we could ask of you is to try it out when it finally releases ^^ Appreciate it!
Thanks for the reply. I will be on my toes awaiting the full release, then! I'm not super surprised to hear that things are shaping up differently than in the demo, because that's just how these things go.
Honestly, I was a bit confused to see all the life sim elements in the demo, since their existence implies a sizable chunk of game time where the player is free to make diverging choices, but it seemed at odds with the heavily railroaded visual novel narrative the game was telling in the demo, especially with all the gorgeous unique art that accompanied it. Obviously, these factors didn't end up being relevant in the demo (although you could interact with them a little), but they make me very interested in finding out what this game's end product will be.
Game is great, wholesome art style, catching plot, amazing soundtracks and interesting message, but I was wondering, is there a way to skip dialogues, and if there isn't, have you thought about adding such feature? I forgot to save my game...
Oh nooooo, sorry to hear that! We unfortunately couldn't implement a skip feature in time for the demo but that's definitely a top priority for the full version. Regardless, we're so glad you've enjoyed it so far; thank you for the kind words!! 🥰
how do you save this game? im on macbook and i want to make sure i can save it before getting right into it, i've tried so much times but i just don't know how
Okay, making sure you're on the "Extended" Demo, there'll be a notebook tutorial eventually past the dream sequences, after which you should be able to access the notebook. Hope that helps!
hi there! loving the game so far, but had an error where i tried to click on the backpack at the very beginning of the episode and a coding error popped up. is there anything i could do to fix this?
We're so glad you managed to find a workaround! A big thanks for informing us too, we'll make sure to look out for that error as we continue development.
I just discovered your game and already finished the extended demo, I normally dont comment but I gotta say that the vision and potential your game has won my heart! I love everything about it so far and now I follow your more recent updates on it and just I love the high visual and music quality it holds, it's like youre making a full on anime hehe I am officially a fan ;w;, I will just be here patiently waiting for it's full release, good luck to you guys!
Waiting patiently for the full game to be on steam. On your twitter account, it says that the estimated release will be on "Q3 2022". Was just confused and wondering about the 'Q' meant.
Also, how long have you been working on this game?
Thank you for your patience! Q3 refers to the third quarter of the year, meaning July, August or September. Again, just an estimate but we'll do our best to fulfill it!
It's been about two years since we've started working on this game, which is faaar longer than we ever anticipated. We really hope you'll enjoy it once it finally comes out (✿◡‿◡)
this game was so good! i really loved it, its now one of my favorites. the art style and the storyline worked so well together, along with all the characters, all of their personalities worked so well! i dont really know why but this game gives me a sense of comfort, so i guess this is my new comfort game! :D
I love this game!! The art style, story, and interface, they're all so beautiful and inspiring as a person who wants to make visual novels. Also, I'm curious if you used any software to create it and what it might be!
I've been following this game for mostly a year+ now (just everywhere it is lol), and really exited about its full edition! I also have game art as my wallpaper on desktop, love it (ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡
can somebody help me, please? I have a Mac and every time I try to open the game it says that the game is damage and can't be opened. I really want to play it do anyone know the solution?
game looks amazing so far + i love the rounded pixel art style! ive had to replay it a few times though since i can only get so far in a sitting and dont know how to save.. i tried exiting from the phone but theres no load file when i get back to the menu :( i think im just used to traditional renpy controls haha
Thank you so much for your kind words! Though, you should know we've moved to a smoother art style in the full version. (●'◡'●)
We're so sorry to hear you had to start from the beginning so many times! Just so you know, the saving is in the notebook at the top right, next to the phone. We know it's easy to miss and will make sure to address that as well.
Hi ! I am not on Mac! I downloaded the Windows choice :) Always when I open it, it shows me days in Excel, but when I open the Excel thing, I see codes and programming. I also tried copying it to another folder but there it doesn't respond at all :( I hope we can find a way for it to work!
Weird, we've never heard of the application opening Excel; sorry for the trouble! We can't seem to recreate that issue, but here are a few things to try/double-check:
When re-downloading, did you delete the old download/files from your computer? If not, try deleting them before re-downloading again.
Try running the app as administrator.
Just in case, do you have everything from the zip file in one folder? If none of the above works out, maybe a screenshot of the game's folder would help us get to the bottom of it.
The last thing would be to try it on another computer, if you had access to one.
We'll continue to look into it, please let us know how it goes! Thanks!
Oh, I hadn't realized you didn't even have an application to start! There should be a lot more files than that when you extract it. In that case, maybe it's an issue with your zip extractor? Are you using winrar? The folder should look like this screenshot.
I cannot rave about this game enough it was absolutely awesome. Even though this is only the demo it managed to touch on serious topics lightly without making unrealistic? Like all the reactions of the characters and the characters as much as we were able to see in the demo were really well written. I love the art-style and the small animations throughout the game. It's particularly lovely to see it shaping into a fleshed out story. I hope you continue with this project and release a full version! I can't wait to see what you will do in the future. :)
Wow, thank you so much for the lovely comment, that means the world to us! We're so glad you enjoyed it and we hope that the full release will live up to expectations ❤
This is one of those games that leaves you wanting more. I was disappointed when I found out this was a demo but I can wait! I LOVED this game, and I'll be excitedly waiting for the full version. I'll definitely buy the full game!
The art, characters, and scenery are just beautiful! The personalities of the characters are something else, and I find A really funny.
After I was done with the demo I felt like a hole was left in my heart. This visual novel is very interesting and the features are unique.
Thank you Team Robo for this wonderful heartwarming game. 10/10, made me smile.
Aaaa thank you for sharing such kind words <3 It's so nice to hear that the game left an impact on you and we hope you'll like the full version as well! Thanks again for playing! ✿
Omg you responded lol -- you're welcome, a review is the least I can do to support you!! \(^-^ )/ I forgot to mention that the soundtrack was outstanding but yeah!
I just can't figure out how to load the game, and when i click on my save, nothing happens? Am I doing something wrong? I really want to finish the demo asap, it's so beautiful QwQ
Thank you so much! It's pretty obtuse and in need of change, but in the main menu, once you've selected your save you actually have to click the big fancy "LOAD" word on the left side of the screen. Hopefully that's all your issue was!
Thanks for getting back to us! It seems like an isolated and rare incident; if there's any more information you can give us we'd appreciate it. Otherwise, we'll stay on the look out for similar reports/issues as we continue development.
Thank you so much! So sorry to hear you're having trouble with that. If you have everything from the downloaded rar file in your game's folder, I can't think of any reason that the sound wouldn't work... are you on PC or Mac?
Hi there! Just got notified of this, if you haven't got it yet, saving's in the Notebook! Just click the green save tab, then one of the two save buttons :>
This game is wonderful the art, the music, and the characters are all amazing. There were times were I had to stop playing to just take it all in. And throughout the whole game it just soothes the body. I hope Team Robo keeps making more games and finishes this one.
I played this game around late 2020 and I have to say that this visual novel was so touching and interesting despite it only being the demo. I was intrigued by the different things you could do during your free time in this game and absolutely love the background and character illustrations. I look forward to seeing this Visual novel completed so I can replay it again with the new scenes added!
Aaa, thank you so much for the kind words! We really hope you enjoy the full when it's released, we're revamping a lot of things including the free time! ^v^

Do your best! I will root for you folks.

how do you save this game? im on macbook and i want to make sure i can save it before getting right into it, i've tried so much times but i just don't know how
Sorry for the late reply! Saving's in the Notebook, which you can find by hovering your mouse in the top right corner. (It's not always available)
what can i do if a can't see the notebook i have the same problem but im on windows.
Hmm, it should show up during non-CG events (when the Backpack is visible) if you stick your mouse in the top-right corner. Have you tried that?
i have tryed that but could it be that im traing to save the 1st demos story?
Okay, making sure you're on the "Extended" Demo, there'll be a notebook tutorial eventually past the dream sequences, after which you should be able to access the notebook. Hope that helps!
hi there! loving the game so far, but had an error where i tried to click on the backpack at the very beginning of the episode and a coding error popped up. is there anything i could do to fix this?
How strange! We're unfamiliar with this issue so we'll run through the basics. Are you on PC, or Mac? Have you tried re-downloading the game?
i'm on pc, running windows 10. i think running it through the itch.io desktop application instead of downloading it directly actually fixed the issue!
thanks so much for your quick response - i'm loving the game so far!
We're so glad you managed to find a workaround! A big thanks for informing us too, we'll make sure to look out for that error as we continue development.
fantastico i love the charaters and the way it works like cooking interreacting and such, great game!
Much appreciated, thank you! 🥰

Aaa that is so heartwarming, thank you!!! We're so glad that you like it so far and we'll do our best to make the wait worth it ^^
I can already tell this is going to be so good
That's so flattering, thank you QvQ!
Waiting patiently for the full game to be on steam. On your twitter account, it says that the estimated release will be on "Q3 2022". Was just confused and wondering about the 'Q' meant.

Okay, thank you for letting me know! :D
Damn two years, and of course I will enjoy it! I enjoyed the demo so of course I will enjoy the full version!
i really really loved this game! i felt amused while i was playing it, i gold this game close to my heart, cant wait for the full game!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, very motivating! ╰(*°▽°*)╯💖

Aaa that is so touching, you've really made our day! 💕(^///^) The final has quite a few changes, but we hope you'll enjoy it all the same!
Thank you for giving me hope in life
Aw, we're so glad to hear this could help out in anyway 💗
I love this game!! The art style, story, and interface, they're all so beautiful and inspiring as a person who wants to make visual novels. Also, I'm curious if you used any software to create it and what it might be!
Thank you so much, so nice to hear that we could inspire you! As for software, we use GameMaker Studio 2 ♪(´▽｀)
I've been following this game for mostly a year+ now (just everywhere it is lol), and really exited about its full edition! I also have game art as my wallpaper on desktop, love it (ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡
Aw, thank you! That's so lovely to hear (^///^)
When the game fully releases, what platforms will it be on to buy? Wondering if it will be on Steam.
We do have plans to release on Steam as well as Itch! Right now those are the only two platforms. Thanks for asking! (●'◡'●)
can somebody help me, please? I have a Mac and every time I try to open the game it says that the game is damage and can't be opened. I really want to play it do anyone know the solution?
Hi! You'll find the instructions on how to bypass that at this link:
https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/216753558-Mac-app-damaged-when-downloaded-from-the-internet

It worked perfectly, thank u so much!!!! <33333

I tried to downland this game 3 times, but still, it doesn't work when I open it :( any tips? I would really love to play this game.
Hi, there! First, are you on PC or Mac? If on Mac, we've got one idea on why it wouldn't open up, but if on PC it'll be a little tougher. (^///^)
Hi ! I am not on Mac! I downloaded the Windows choice :) Always when I open it, it shows me days in Excel, but when I open the Excel thing, I see codes and programming. I also tried copying it to another folder but there it doesn't respond at all :( I hope we can find a way for it to work!

this is my comfort game and I can wait for the full release :)
side question: I don't wanna sound ignorant or anything but just really curious to know if B was born a female?
We're so happy you feel that way about our game, thank you so much! And yes, B is biologically female ^^
of course :) and thank you for the clarification!
im so excited for the full release. this easily entered my top 3 favs this was amazing
That's so nice, thank you! Hope it lives up to your expectations! 🥰
I love this game! Can't wait for the full release!
Thank you! <'33

is this game gonna have any romance options i wouldnt mind if so
There won't be any, sorry! ^^;
is B a girl,boy or non-binary?? im kinda confused sorry :)
No worries, we get that a lot. B's a girl!

I loved the game so far, but I wasn't able to load my file? Could any of you help?
Uh oh! Is it that you can't figure out how to load or is it that when you load something happens, like a crash or error?
I just can't figure out how to load the game, and when i click on my save, nothing happens? Am I doing something wrong? I really want to finish the demo asap, it's so beautiful QwQ
Thank you so much! It's pretty obtuse and in need of change, but in the main menu, once you've selected your save you actually have to click the big fancy "LOAD" word on the left side of the screen. Hopefully that's all your issue was!

Thank goodness! And thank you so much, we're very glad you enjoyed it <3
hello! first i would like to say that the game is so cute and cool!!!! i'm looking forward for the full version of it!
btw, i'm having trouble with audio i guess? because there's no sound for the game at all. is there anything i should do?
Thank you so much! So sorry to hear you're having trouble with that. If you have everything from the downloaded rar file in your game's folder, I can't think of any reason that the sound wouldn't work... are you on PC or Mac?
Sorry i just replied... I'm using PC
First things first: is the sound on in the settings in-game?
If that's not it, maybe a re-install/download will do the trick (again, making sure all the files from the rar are in the same folder).
Outside of that, I'm not sure what else it might be or what we could do :/
Okay then. I'll try them out first. Thanks for the help!
this game is so cute! i love the art and i can't for more 100% play this game RN!!
yay, so glad you ended up liking it! thank you so much for the kind words! <'33
i may or may not be fangirling rn
have do you save? i didn't know how to do it and now i have to resart the game
nvm i got it (:
i don't got it please help me :(
Hi there! Just got notified of this, if you haven't got it yet, saving's in the Notebook! Just click the green save tab, then one of the two save buttons :>
This game is wonderful the art, the music, and the characters are all amazing. There were times were I had to stop playing to just take it all in. And throughout the whole game it just soothes the body. I hope Team Robo keeps making more games and finishes this one.
AW, that's SO kind of you to say; thank you! We're really happy that it managed to provide some relaxation as well <3<3
I love this :) the graphics ,everything..i'm a big fan of horror stuff ..and this had a little bit of spirit in it :)) sorry for my accent
Aaa thank you so much for playing our game, we're happy you're enjoying it so far! <'33
hghj this game is absolute gold! i'd really recommend this ^^

i may be an absolute dumbo, but why are their names just one letter? it may be explained somewhere but i didnt see it ;w;
Hi terikumo! Thank you <3 we're so glad you liked it! The game will be paid (for around $8 USD)
Also, the names is more of a full gamso don't worry about it :>
ooh ok tysm for telling me ^^! i'll be sure to buy the game when it releases :D

Thank you so much, we're so glad you liked it! <33

We appreciate you coming back to leave this lovely comment! Hope you'll enjoy the full version when it comes out; thank you! <3
