OMG I love it soooo much! I'm soooo in love with Jackson. Can't wait for the full release !!!!!!
the full game is coming THIS march?!!! 😲😲😲😲
the setup is so interesting!!! i'm kinda scared for the main character now what the helll!! i kinda forgot what kind of game this was when mc and jackson were talking about having kids & thought 'wow this is so cute!!" damn me lmao 😞😞😞
*******
i like that the writers didn't shy away from mc & jackson wanting explore their relationship (both/ either: sexually &romantically) like mc thinks they have been abandoned for years without a single fucking conversation, and Jackson's accepted & respected his partner sexuality.
like they're soooo devoted to each other " i will die if anything happened to you". "wherever you go, i follow." like??? these two aren't just homies, pals, besties they're something more
*******
i can't wait to answer all my questions!!! amazing work team!!!
Lol so true. Jackson and MC felt too sweet right there to think of what's coming. MC and Jackson's situations were definitely considered for... that scene. Complex, but so has their love been in either homies, pals, besties, or in the something-more way ;)
As to release date, ideally it'll be 1-2 months as to not rush.
And thanks for playing and your thoughtful comment! It's really encouraging as we work towards full release and hope to satisfy more of your curiosity
take all the time you needs guys & drink your H2o and get your Zzzs!!💗💗💗
I am practically buzzing with anticipation for the full release. Everything about this makes me shiver in both horror and anticipation, because of multiple factors.
What happened to Jackson, is he still okay?
Why would Eden do this to us, from the messages to hacking the PC's body to pieces?
Who was being fed to us, because that certainly was human we were being fed.
What are the laws of this world, why are only a small section of people chosen to be put into Matching Day (If I understood that correctly) and why doesn't the system not account for those like Camila whom aren't searching for that kind of partner?
I suppose that's what comes from it being a dystopia, but that makes me wonder how Eden got into the system and why.
The sections with Jackson were sweet, and I really route for him and the MC, even if that isn't what the game is intending for us X)
I really hope that the MC can get out of this situation, the ache in my chest that I felt when we found out about their legs was palpable, and I really hope for the best for them, they were dealt a pretty horrible situation without them knowing.
I look forward to more of this, keeping a very close eye and thank all of you guys for doing such a great job, the art, sprites and music are all just phenomenal so far!!!
Thank you so much for playing and taking the time to comment. Unfortunately, I can't answer all of your questions since more will be explained in the full game, including what happened to Jackson, Eden's goals, and more about the world-building, as well as why people like Camila and Jackson are forced to get married.
Thank you for commenting, and I hope you enjoy it when the full game comes out!
I think I like Eden the most when he's being mean hehe... the force-feeding scene was so good! Looking forward to seeing the full release and finding out what happened to poor Jackson :3c
Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you like Eden even when he is being a meanie; it's definitely one of his charms :)
Thank you for playing and commenting!
Just finished playing and I must say, the concept is wonderful and I am intrigued! Why did Eden take so long? I'm sure to him his text sounded reasonable but it comes off as dismissive to the MC.
And BOY am i worried for our friend/boyfriend. I hope he's alright.
Wonderful work!
Eden is a complicated person, lol.
But there's no doubt that he loves MC; his love is just different from others. :)
Thank you so much for playing; we are so glad you enjoyed it!
