Feeling disconnected from the world and struggling to forge meaningful connections, his life takes a sudden turn at the start of his final year of school. A chance encounter with a mysterious, mystical figure reveals that his destiny is far greater than he ever imagined.

Peak.
bro out here making a banger.lookin forward to the future updates.
I hope Joe Biden checks out this game too
is there an actual h scene
I cant get enough of this game, i need more asap
Another amazing update, I do love how the story is going and you see how this is going, with also the MC naturally getting shit for bad decisions, and also why many of the girls do fall for him (imo) naturally.
If there is 1 problem I really have, which is small and you can easily argue is so petty/pointless, I do dislike the ARG or well, secret stuff, is in all different kinds of ciphers. Like for Lesson in Love, it is always HEX, but here is HEX, Base 64, etc. Again, tiny thing, but this recent update it took me way way too long to find the secret small extra fun thing shown, since I was trying to find the right thing.
But outside that, still easily the best looking models in the game (Like legit, it is amazing how amazing every model does look), and I really love the story.
Mina needs more screen time 😭✌
Absolutely great visual style.
Great update thanks for adding more content to Brooklyn MY BELOVED. I really enjoyed the horror elements, especially the whole sequence inside the mind, dunkle funkle seemed like a nice man (kinda) just disturbed by our presence, hope to see him again (although I dont wanna get killed)
It left me wondering whether everything happening there reflects how miles sees himself, someone that feels alone but dont try to change anything at all, hurthing their close one or even himself… or if thats just the effects of sleep deprivation idk.
Anyways, keep up the good work man
Let’s just hope curiosity doesn’t end up killing the cat or something else by the next update.
I would recommend adding a flashing lights warning cause some parts of this game might be able to cause a seizure.
enjoying the game so far but i think the yuki questrline might be bugged as kitsune never wants to talk about yuki's books

I just wanna wack off with a good story, not shit myself mid-stroke. Holy shit i actually got goosebumps
Looks like there's a bug transferring saves from 0.24 to 0.25.
In 0.24 the firstfight variable does not get set, so if you transfer to 0.25 after completing the relevant event, it causes a softlock for progressing Yuki's events.
Doubly confusing because the condition for Yuki's quest hint is reversed. So by having the variable set to 0, it's giving the hint for a trigger that only works when it's set to 1.
Hi, releasing a bugfix shortly, this should be fixed along with other bugs such as the new story event occurring too early
Not sure when this is supposed to trigger,but pretty sure it's not supposed to be on day 2
Lol, where is the cigarette?
Hey Everybody! If you're confused on why quests may not be showing up on previous save, go to the next day! The way the quest system work is that it resets at the beginning of each game cycle!
Just updated to 0.25, and for some reason, none of the events are reflected, either in the Quest or Story menus. I have no idea what to do to progress any of the girls' stories, or the main plot because of this.
same here, nothing in the tracker works.
Just started the game and saying its proud of me kinda makes me tear up and now im not horny i'll play later i guess
PLEASE WHEN IS THE NEXT UPDAT
It is -1 hour and 19 minutes from now :)
YO THIS GAME GOT ME TWEAKING BRUH🥹
More riley stuff and H Scenes please
I love how June has "mary" as her theme tune, man i love that song
Yes I really like the game especially JUNE MY LOVE but also I was enjoying izra part until a jumpscare happened and kinda ruined the mood so I hope it a more simple effect for that scene instead of a episode but overall the game is great especially JUNE
Any intel on when the next update is
I THINK IM TRAUMATISED FROM THIS GAME
THE GAME IS MIX WITH HORROR AND CORN
is the sandbox optional? can we choose whether or not to choose a standard VN or sandbox story mode?
Not sure why but when I go to download the game it says there's no version available even though I'm on mac? anyone know what to do.
pls add versions / OS compatibility to make this available through the itch.io app
Do you plan to add Spanish?
The most terrifying screamer in this game is pyrocynical
After 300 days of random clicking I'm just finding out there's quest details in the save/load menu screen....just wow. Was about at my limit. Wish there was a button on main screen for this. Almost lost me because of this. Great VN though. Love the characters, only reason i kept clicking for 300 days lol
I love this game, I loved it, both the story and the mechanics. Will there be a new version soon? And Merry Christmas!
