I just got to chapter 2 and already I think this VN is amazing! The art, music, characters, even the menu and all that are just so appealing!! ^^ I can’t wait for more and I wish you luck on your journey in making this VN! <3

Stunningly beautiful visuals, fantastic soundtrack, already love the characters. My only complaint is that there isn't more. I want to spend weeks reading this I love it so much.

what a beautiful vn, the backgrounds are amazing, the cgs are impeccable, and stephan... god, what a man, i loved how the story is going and i just hope it continues as everyday and calm, without too many dramas, oh! and more of that giant man please, i hope he doesn't turn out to be a bad guy. great job.

Êtes vous français pour avoir choisi le titre automne ?

Newer VNs that are this fantastic need to stop popping up. I still have such a backlog of things I need to read. Genuinely though, these first two chapters were such a treat. The writing, art, music, and overall presentation are just a cut above almost anything else I've read. I absolutely cannot wait to see what's to come with this story 💜

Side note: I found that some of the gallery images don't unlock. Bottom middle 5-9 and bottom right 2 on the first page, top middle 3 and the bottom right image on the third page, and top left 2 on the last page. I tried skipping through again on a second go through to test, but it seems like some flags might not be getting checked. I'm on the android version as well.

Can’t wait to see where the story goes! Great job! Everything is so wonderfully done!

Wow, finding this is fantastic. It's just what I needed to find in terms of VN reading. The ensemble is très bien—from the presentation, to the writing, to the art style. I'm quite happy to have found it and look forward to more. It's rather refreshing to read something uncommon.

I just finish 2 chapter in 1 sit and i love it, the story is very nice and lighthearted, the art is amazing,  i surprised how much effort was put for each scenes. Also Corey is such a cutey, and Stephan.... ugh, I falling in love w him.

 Also I have some questions about there r like some locked image even thought I finish the 2 remain chapter. Are there any way to unlock it cause this vn doesn't have any choice for different scenes so it's confused me.

whoa dude i havent even read what your game is about cool it with the amazingly customized itch.io web page  

Postscript: also i love the leaf cursor; chiefs kiss.

Holy lol, was pleasantly surprised to read this after a dry patch of no new reading content, very worth the read! 10/10

The art is amazing!

Ok so I've recently started reading this VN and OMG I'm already IN LOVE with the super cute Stephan, the quality of the art style is genuinely amazing, what an incredible project, 10/10, I'm definitely recommending it to all of my furry friends!

Cute and cozy VN, altho short it was a really enjoyable read, can't wait to see more of it. Keep up the great work!! Stephan is the best boyy =DD

Also really sorry for your loss and sending a big hug your way. Hopefully the rest of 2024 treats you a lot better <3

Ok, soooooo..., before anything I'd like to preface my statement with a little disclaimer that my intent with this comment isn't to be disparaging of the vn itself, or anyone involved in its creation.

With only two updates so far, there isn't really much to be said about this project. 

The writing seems to be rather tight, and concise enough for a slice-of-life, kinda existential novel, the narrative is kept at a slower but  steady pace, and the prose is nice. Corey and Stephan, to me, don't seem to be too compelling of characters, as of yet - we know things about them, but not much of who they are, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to learn as the story progresses. 

Aurally the project is very competent. The cozy, but at the same time temperature dropping, longing autumn vibes are evoked within me while listening to the title screen piece, while other tracks support the mood of the assigned scene. However, and it truly deeply pains me to admit it, so far the ost doesn't particularly stand out to me, and I've yet to listen to a track in this vn to truly sweep me off my feet. But at the same time, it may speak to the sophistication of the compositions and the composer - to be able to coax and enhance the emotion while at the same time remaining a subtle presence in the background. And to state the obvious, having a dedicated composer is just wild, you're doing a great job Don Leonard, keep creating music.

Visually the vn is great, it's coherent, and nice to admire. The combined effort of all the artists really bumps up the quality. Don't have much to say in this regard, it's very furry.

However this brings me to gripes that I have:

• In this vn we are following two more mature, at least in age, characters. I'll admit I'm not best at spotting differences, but imo Corey on the fridge photo at age 16, and Corey on the textbox sprite at 32 doesn't show much change. That can ofc be a point in the vn itself, that'll be explored throughout the story. Stephan being 49 just floored me - personally at worst I'd say he looks like he's in his middle 30s, but definitely not pushing 50. Like, my point here being: if we're going for capital A Adults let's maybe not be afraid to show it. Again, that may be explored later on in the story, and I'd imagine that on anthro characters it's more difficult to convey age. And maybe it's beneficial for the story to sell the idea of a 50 yo built like a brickhouse, and a twink in his 30s, while they look like a guy in his mid 30s at worst, and a 20 something respectively. 
• The date was great, up until Corey got his hands on Stephan's stomach, like excuse me! We're in a public setting, a cafeteria, and they are being actively observed by the employees, who while being supportive and spur both of them to action, don't make that part of the scene better. Like, I'm no prude, voyeurism? great, not for me but whatever. I know we're all animals here, and I'd be actively in pain while mentally preventing myself from just pouncing on my date if they looked like Stephan, but let's exercise some restraint from time to time.
• I understand that we as queer ppl have a very lax approach toward dating and relationships and such, but like a full on french kiss after the first date? Granted this is the most minor gripe, like I thought it's going to be a very slow burn, but I'm fine with a sudden boil as well.

So yeah, despite what I said, it's clear that a lot of effort is being put toward creating this vn. I'm curious to see how it'll develop, and wish all the people working on it all the best.

And as meaningless as it is, I'm really sorry for how difficult this year is for you Bjaker.

the date was so sweet i was scared i might contract diabetes

Underrated af

This is cute. I like this.

Just went through the first chapter, really loving it - also, sadly, noticed that it has been a bit radio silent as of recent. 

Can we still expect a chapter two? :

Can't wait for chapter 2

I really liked this! Cant wait for chapter 2!

tag yourself, I'm the boar on the plane lmao. I found it funny how you are setting up the MC's taste in this moment, but also more generally the respect he has for other peoples bodies. it was a nice moment.

Is this still being worked on it Looks very promising and would love to see more from it the art is fantastic and the story looks like it will be fun to read.

I really love the theme of the game and how it is handled. I am looking forward for future updates especially that the pacing of the story is calm. As a programmer I really love how the sprites, the main menu and the credits are displayed. As an artist the art is visually pleasing and making me simp look forward even more.

I just wanted to say thank you for your incredible work on the game so far and that i look forward to future chapters! I am 29 and going through a similar situation as Corey, and his story makes me feel seen and feel a WHOLE lot better. Keep up the good work!!!

Will there be public releases of future versions and chapters?

I met my man in a similar fashion so I'm looking forward to this. I greatly appreciate the age not being super young either. 

As someone older, I appreciate that the character is similar to my age as opposed to the typical 20-years-old protagonists. Looks promising and I'll be sure to check it out!

so you see, that's where the trouble began.

That smile. That dammned smile <3

first ever dating app success story lmao, love it 

Such a cozy story, Already love Corey and Stephen they have such great chemistry. I cannot wait for chapter 2, keep up the good work y'all!

1. Beautiful storytelling and the visual art, music and writing really blend together to form a full experience. One thing I am curious about, since there was a lack of choices/player agency in this fist offering: Is this planned as a pure story rather than a game or will choices and potential branching (at least for some story beats) make an appearance later on? Either way, best of luck for the future and I will keep an eye out for this.

I'm so invested in this! The artwork, the writing, the music, and basically everything is so good! I absolutely love the vibe! Can't wait to read and see what's next!

Since you mention that Chapter 1 is free, does that mean future releases will not be?

Ahh, this game is so cozy. Really great start to this VN. I can't wait to meet the rest of the characters, especially Stephan. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this VN. Amazing work!
