ugh i dont even know what to say this was genuinely amazing you have no idea how much fun i had playing this bro. all these characters are so romancable too omg like give me more immediately. genuinely dream blunt rotation dude. polyamorous route when
ps also kinda like how both i think rachel(?) and gabe do the whole "i appreciate" thing while one feels genuine and the other not so much. not sure if it was rachel or autumn my brain lowk fried but yeyuh !!! great game will be checking out more !! gave me similar but not so vibes to killer chat and uuuugh when i heard sir samgraces voice i was so ready for this
oh last thing !! i think my favorite is autumn ok cool bye
This was such a fun play! I genuinely loved the premise of being the band's group therapist! Not me spamming Gabe's room the entire time trying to get an answer, I loved how he got progressively more angry, it was such a cool little detail. The story was so interesting, slowly getting the band back together is such a cool concept, and I ADORED our dialogue options, I love how savage and deadpan we can choose to be. Some of the dialogue options genuinely made me cackle!! Not to mention the gorgeous art OH MY LORD all the characters had such cool designs, Autumn's outfit is SO PEAK. Also I loved the climax of the story, using all the polaroids collected it was such a cool unique concept and I literally got chills from it! I'm so excited to see more projects from you guys, you can tell a lot of love went into this game!!
Omg thank you! You are the first person to notice he gets progressively angrier!!! YES THAT IS A FEATURE and we thought it would be funny!!!! So glad you liked the dialogue, I wanted it to be slightly unhinged because that's always fun! Yes agree about Autumn's outfit, those rose lace sleeves were crazy. We didn't ask for any of that btw our artist Vono just did all that. So glad you liked the climax, that was by far the hardest part to put together and it was my original idea for the project. Like I started from there and worked backwards. So I'm SO GLAD it worked the way it was supposed to! We REALLY hustled to make that happen!!!!! Thanks again!
Genuinely loved this so much - I screamed when I saw Nugget with a knife. I'm very attatched to all of these chatacters now lol. I really really hope yall continue this story, especially as an avid pop-punk enjoyer :3
TL;DR - OMG I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH PLEASE I NEED MORE OF THEM
WOOOO POP PUNK!!!! I'm so glad you liked the cat with the knife LOL. We added it based on popular demand! We will make more if we are able!!!!! All the comments/reviews/tips really enable us to make more, we would make more forever if we could!!!!
Thanks so much for the kind comment! The whole team is really feeling the love 😭
this was literally the most beautiful and well fleshed out game i have ever played. BEAUTIFUL!
Wah thank you so much. We made it in 30 days for a game jam and we worked so hard 😭 We really appreciate you for saying that!
it was absolutely fantastic! yall did amazing work <33333
I finally got to play it, and holy smokes, I had such a good time with this!
The story is really enjoyable, and the characters are genuinely fun to spend time with. You can tell a lot of thought and love went into putting the whole thing together. And the voice acting??? Absolutely fantastic.
I’ll be honest, I originally started this game for Gabe, but somehow ended up attached to the entire band by the end. You got me😭
Really lovely project overall, and huge props to the creator for putting this together. I’m excited to see where it goes from here!
*standing ovation, emotional damage... You know I stand with Gabe on that destroyed guitar. Had a similar experience and thought my world was over.*
Awww thanks so much!!! I'm so glad you liked it! I like the whole band too : ) I'm glad we got you! We tried really hard!
Oh, boy howdy do I have my own instrument crash out. I was an oil painter and when I was a broke college student I spent months oil painting the back of a ukulele (too broke for a guitar LOL). One day my roommates held a party and a drunk guy wandered into my room. I was annoyed but just ignored him. It was only when he left that I saw he'd written his number . . . in Sharpie . . . over my oil painting . . . 😭
I had an enormous crash out, and then FORTUNATELY it wiped off easily and didn't damage the painting! OMG though WHO DOES THAT. So yeah. The guitar scene may have contained some personal anger LOL
(Also I'm the VA for Celeste and I was so worried people wouldn't like my parts because I'm not a professional VA so thanks for the nice comment)
SO slick and stylish, with charming, believeable characters, A CAT (sadly without knife), and a rare treat: not one, but two original tracks with vocals! Beautiful work to the team, this was absolutely delightful! ✨
Thanks so much and Re: Cat Without Knife, we may have just pushed an update . . . 👀
i genuinely really liked this! all the characters ended up being SO loveable by the end of my play through i ended up being WAY happier then i thought i would be seeing them succeed and make the song!<3
also i wanna sniff dereks pits
all of them actually lowkey
awwwwww i'm so glad you liked it!!!!! we worked super hard!!!!! i love them all too 🥹 we don't currently have that particular functionality scoped for derek but we'll see what we can do LOL
This was absolutely adorable!! The art, the music, the characters <3
I'm so grateful to have the chance to experience this game, thank you ^^
xoxo
Aww thanks so much! That's really kind of you to say. Personally I think the story is really sweet : , )
amazing, amazing character design, had a really great storytelling and concept for such a short game, we got to know a lot about every characters :))
Amazing game, just one thing we need - when is that cat getting that knife??
In all seriousness, I had a fun time, love the characters, story so far and the art is incredible! Can't wait for more :)
Thanks! My actual real life cat does have a knife toy, maybe we'll post that to our socials so people can know we stand on business!
Very interesting concept! I feel like there is still room to expand and experiment with it, and I would be very interested to see it. Still, I did find the story a little too fast, but it's totally understandable for a jam. A few more things I wanted to point out: loved Celeste's song, loved Autumn's design in particular, and loved the whole ordeal with the cat (it's so funny how there exist no option other than:"acquire cat". )
Amazing game, lovely UI, and wiiish to hear more vocies but I WILL TAKE WHAT I GET. Also yes more Derek pls hes just so ughhhhh. I’m looking at your cranky ass Gabe
Aw thanks, more VA on the way!!!!
I am without words, this game is just so good! I love ALL of the characters so much!!!!
omg thank you!!!! that's so kind of you, we worked SO HARD!!! can't wait to check out yours & everyone else's!!! nap time for now LOL
OMG I CAN TELL!!!! Hopefully you slept well! :D
