A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Just a short chill game about total strangers getting to know each other through a cute and simple chat app ~





[NotA, he/him, 25]

“Is really not a f♡♡k boy!”

A good guy, always here to lend you an ear for your rants or a shoulder for your tears. A bit dense at times though, and often misunderstood about his intentions because of his good looks and forward personality.



[PetiteJill1234, she/her, 24] 

“Let’s gush together☆”

Authoritarian and sarcastic at first, she is actually rather open minded and a true fangirl. She isn’t good at socializing, a bit clumsy and shy, but a loyal friend to those who don’t mind these aspects of her personality.



[EBNO, he/they, 27]

“We don’t talk about EBNO no no no…”

Probably the most calm and reasonable of the lot. Was a small streamer for a really short time then quit and switched activities to become a game dev…
Or rather, trying to be one.
He might play games more than creating them.

POV: We all agreeing to lock R*U on the room that has four humidifier filled with milk


Anyway, I absolutely adore the aesthetic it's so cooolllllllll!!! There are perhaps some references from the previous games that I didn't catch, but oh well~
Like I'm just amazed at how you manage to do this~

On the other hand, the multiple copyright claimed on yt because the music is so funny (it's fine~)

I just finished watching it, thank you for playing one of my games again !♡
It made me chuckle, your reactions are always so funny x)
As for the game itself, I teamed up with someone else because it was a game jam. They worked as the programmer and I'm so glad they accepted to participate with me (I took care of the writing and art), else I wouldn't be able to code all of that myself !
Thank you again for this let's play, it really made my day ✿

Yessssss, I'm so glad to play it as well <3

Thank you for the kind words ! I had a lot of fun writing and drawing for this project and the programmer did an amazing work putting it together, so I'm happy you liked the game this much💖✨

In the game are the characters faces ever revealed? Just curious

Yes they are ~
At some point, you see a pic of each of them✨

Oooh sounds exciting! Def will play ❤

SO SO CUTEE!! I love everything about this game. Do you plan on expanding this game in the future? NotA is my spirit animal

Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy you liked the game ! 💖
Unfortunately I'm not planning on expanding the game for now since I have other projects I want to make in priority, but who knows *maybe* someday (no promises though, it's a BIG maybe to take with a grain of salt)✨

This was so cute! I rly enjoyed all the characters and their interactions esp NotA (bless his adorable, innocent soul). They all felt so real, and I would love to honestly be friends with them <3

But... *SPOILER WARNING*

Lol, what was R*U's deal? Was he just a troll or actually...? (I got so curious with the Blooming Panic reference, haha.)

(+2)

Thank you for the kind words and for loving the characters (and NotA) !💖
I'm happy you caught the little reference too, and to answer your question...the character you mentioned is actually an easter egg from another of my projects (called "Fujiwara Bittersweet", I'm currently working on a remake though) and he is indeed kind of a little troll, even in the other game (> w<)/✨
Incidentally he is also the "non-official" mascot of the studio, and the actual studio's mascot/logo is a black cat in reference to this character, haha x)
Thank you again for your comment and I hope I answered your question ~

AH, I see, that make senses! Thanks for your response!! I would love to play the remake then when it's done <3

My heart--- it's so cute!

Thank you, happy you liked it ! (é w è)/💖
