Oh my, hello again! How are you guys doing? I hope everyone is well and I'm sorry for being a little late!
First of all, I just want to express how sad I am for living in the southern hemisphere, but I hope you guys have fun at the Indie Megabooth and meet a lot of people so you can know how much OL is loved by us! Maybe someday I'll be able to go to an event the GBPatch team will be, although its hardly unlikely. Oh well, never say never I guess.
Okay, let's finally talk about what really matters! To be honest, I was expecting – quite selfishly tho – an expansion to Step 2 but I was met with something much greater! So many details and I have only played the Direct Crush Route, probably will play other combinations tomorrow, it's kinda late here already and someone forgot to do her math and physics homework.
A N Y W A Y S. The Character Creation Screen looks really good! I was surprised to see how many extra options got added, such as the birthmarks and the scars. I promised myself to not make any question, but I do have one about the latter, if at Step 1 the MC does not have any scars but at Step 2 they do, will be there any reaction to it? Any character asking how that happened or even that stare (especially for those on the face)?
To me, the most interesting thing about the game is how realistic the scenarios are, like when MC meets Cove's dad for the first time and the mention of their mothers warning them about strangers and when they call him so that Lizzie can apologize for fighting with Cove.
Loved the two-colored hair and the eyes shapes/colors. I was smiling the whole time I was customizing my MC, who, by the way, is now officially named Ishan Vieira — cute, short and a social butterfly. I don't regret using one of my last names for him, sounds good.
When Jeramy was first introduced I already disliked him so being able to almost beat him was satisfying, although I'm kinda worried about the possible outcome of my actions. Also, will we be hearing more of him after Step 2?
This might be the first game I have ever considered buying the DLC, so now I'm even more excited about the full release! Still, it depends how much it will be on my country's currency — I'm already seeing the many digits.
That's all for now, thank you and I apologize for the huge comment! You guys are, like always, doing a really good job! I love y'all very much!
Hello! Thank you sharing your thoughts on the latest update :D. We're doing good, I hope you are too.
We'll definitely see if can do more public appearances in the future and in different places. Maybe sometime there will be a way for it to work out.
It's great you enjoyed the updates to Step 1 ^^. We wanted to make sure the events were as interactive as they could be. Though, please go get some rest, haha!
It's totally fine to ask questions. We're happy to answer. There are times when people will ask about the MC's scars, if they have them. Nice to know the extra options on the MC were appreciated. And Ishan Vieira is a really pretty name!
Thanks for the kind words about the game's realism. We're trying our best to make the story feel pretty authentic, something people can relate to.
Jeremy is a little gremlin. He knows it. The characters will still reference him after time has gone by. Whether or not he'll actually show up again is a mystery. We'll see how it goes.
That's nice of you to wanna support the game! We'll put it on sale and have giveaways, so hopefully everyone who wants the DLCs will be able to get them eventually. And your comments are great. There's no need apologize.
I still love how characters from XOXO Droplets make appearances.
My Jeremy was such a hotheaded child. Still cool to see what he was like though. Shiloh sure hasn't changed...
Also, I was playing the new update, and this time I started with awkward indifference (something I never do), and it made me wonder if maybe it'd be possible to have the comfort/interest levels selectable on the event screen, or accessed from the config screen. Sometimes kids may not care about each other at first but then warm up a bit as time goes on.
The shopping event made me sad because Cove was so cold, I wanted to make him more comfortable, but alas, it was too late.
So well done though. Scars are my favorite addition to any character creation. Is the MC going to get a body some day?
Haha, thank you! It's fun to have those kiddos show up and we're glad you had a good time with it, too.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't be possible for us to add more chances to change your relationship. It'd add extra programming complications and, unless we went to even more effort and added alterations to smooth things out, the change in dynamic would come across as really abrupt. We have to limit it to once per Step. But the Steps don't take place over a very long period of time, it's kind of understandable that there's not enough time for their relationship to notably change from what it starts out as.
We're not sure how much content the MC doll will end up having by the time the game and all the DLCs are fully finished. We'll see how it develops!
I've been checking this page every other day and I see a glorious update to an already brilliant foundation. This is one of the few in-progress games that have managed to get my full attention, bravo.
I was so in love with this game when I first played it a few days ago. I see this new update for the Android version had some problems so it had to be taken down for more work... I'll wait patiently~
I love this game so far! Everything from the amount of choices, to the art, to the different story is amazing! Seriously can't wait for the full release
So I downloaded the Android version but whenever I got past the playground scene in the first stage this https://imgur.com/a/5AEJe15 image just keep appearing. I don't know what to do about this :(
so ive played the demo over and over again this game is genuinely so amazing. from the story to the characters and the art everything about this game is done so well and only the demos out which means it'll just keep getting better and better once the full game is out. it's obvious that you all are putting so much effort into this game and i can tell you it'll all be worth it in the end. this game is not like any other and it's just so so creative. i can't wait until the full game is out!! i will support the game and developers as much as i can <3
Aw, thank you so much ;v;! We're doing our best to make the most of the concept and we'll work hard to have the full version live up to expectations. Your support and kind words are really encouraging ^^.
The game will be free-to-play! But we will be putting out various DLCs with extra content. Each DLC will be about 4USD, some a little less, some a little more. When it first comes out there will likely be three DLCs available at around the 4USD price (so it'd be around 12USD to get them all), and then over time even more will become available for purchase.
Aw, thank you so much <3! It's nice to hear that our efforts are coming through. For people who like more content, we do have Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/gbpatch
Though, the game is fully funded already thanks to a Kickstarter we had last year, so any donations we do get will be for extra touches.
I'm sorry. We are going to update the demo very soon, but sadly it'll take a while longer to get the whole thing done. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait!
Haha, thank you <3! It's great to hear you're looking forward to it so much. We do plan to update the demo build pretty soon, hopefully before the end of the month.
I can't wait for the full game to come out!! I love the charactors & the storyline~ also the charactor development is amazing uwu this will definitly be worth buying :D
IM REAALLY EXCİTED. How can i wait until the full release :( so adaroble so cute so much awwww :3 already my favorite. Beautiful art and interesting dynamic/story.. Im starting to save some money $
I'm sorry you had trouble! We'll send that to our main programmer. Can you tell us what system you're on, if you've played an old version of the demo in the past (the info from that old version might've carried over), and if you hit a particular key/shortcut on the keyboard before this happened? For right now it sounds like something tried to make the game do a thing it can't do, but I'm not sure what might've made it try to do that thing it can't do.
Well, the system I'm on is the window, and I played an old version of this before the screen froze, and I also don't think I hit any buttons before it started freezing the game.
The programmer went over it and said the issue is that something prevented the game from making the cache (saved info/images) it needed to continue. You can try a few things to fix that:
-Delete the build and try downloading/extracting it fresh to see if something when wrong when getting the files
-Clear extra memory space on your computer (if space is tight and your computer)
-Run fewer things while playing the game (if you play games with other things open)
-See if your computer needs updates
-Try to see if it works when played on a different computer, if possible
Hopefully things are able to get sorted and it starts working on your system! Let us know how it goes and if you're still struggling.
So I remembered this game but had uninstalled the demo off my Android sometime ago after seeing a post about it on r/otomegames (I kept it on my phone for months until I needed to make space lol). I really enjoyed the demo, but I forgot the game's name so I looked around trying to find it and replay it haha. I am pleasantly surprised with the new additions to the demo since I last played it and I'm glad you guys are still working on this project! I have had no blips or errors while playing through the demo this time and I'm glad for it! The demo was so addicting too, I played it late at night even though I had work in the morning lol. I'm looking forward to its release! I still love the graphics and the addition of partial voice acting and more dialogue options are nice too. I love the versatility of the dialogue and how choices can affect Cove. So interesting, I can't wait to play this over and over! :)
Thank you! It's great to hear you enjoyed all the updates. I hope you got some rest later on though, haha. We'll be putting out another demo update pretty soon, we're aiming for next month. The demo is gonna keep being improved/expanded until the game releases this summer so feel free to check in again later on for more new things ^^.
Honestly one of the best game I played yet! You have a lot of choices that shapes your character and Cove's one wich makes it more realistic, like a feeling that you are in their world, looking forward to playing the full game, when will it air? :) once again Bravo! it's amazing!
Thank you so much for the kind words ^^! The game will come out in August 2020, though it won't be everything. Extra, optional content will continue to come out every few months for the rest of the year and probably until a bit into 2021 as well. So there's plenty of stuff to look forward to.
I genuinely enjoyed the demo! The story, art, and characters are amazing ! It is very well written and the characters feel real. Also, not only the character design but the backgrounds are very well done. It is a type of game that I had not played before and I really enjoyed it. The fact that Cove's personality changes according to the decisions I make was truly interesting and I really liked it. I must add that I have always liked that the games let me customize my character, and above all choose my pronouns. I played the demo several times to see what could go out and I found it quite interesting.I'm looking forward to buying the dlcs when it comes out on Steam! Good job ╰(*´︶`*)╯
Thank you <3! We tried out best with all the different features and customization options, it's really great you enjoyed them so much. We'll keep working hard to get the full version finished :D
I am just at lost for words, the art, and the current storyline is just amazing I'm always looking for interesting storylines and character backgrounds ect, but this is just beyond my expectations the game isn't even out yet and I'm already loving it I've already re-played the game twice always picking new decision. I also love the fact that one point of age you could be a girl and the next a boy (Vice versa) and you don't see that often. I do hope that when the game is fully released you guys get a major high ranking because this game is beyond expectations if I had to pay for it I definitely would
Aw! Thank you so much for saying such nice things ;v;. It's really encouraging to hear you enjoyed what we have going with the project. It'll be free on completion, though you will be able to get extra content by purchasing DLCs.
I played the demo and really enjoyed it! Its beautifully written, choices portray what you feel exactly, visuals are stunning and I can't wait until the full game comes out! I really look forward to buying this game. I'm cheering y'all on and wish you luck with this spectacular project!
I absolutly love this game. Its so cute i cant even stand it. I can not wait for the full game. Oh and i can not handle seeing little baby shiloh. That cute little brat i love him. And Jeremy. Oh Jeremy, that hair cut. I'd be angry too.
I just finished the demo and all I've got to say about it is WOW! I am loving everything about this game. It is very well done, the characters, from what I could see in the demo are greatly developed, I can relate to them and feel their own unique personalities. And the customization availiable for both your MC and the relationship they have with Coven are such a great added value. I am simply in love with this game. And the art style, phew! Simply stunning! Kudos to the artist for that amazing job!! This game absolutely seem to be going in the good direction! I can't wait for the final version of it!
Aw, thank you <3! I'm sure the artists are gonna be really happy to know you appreciate all the work they put into the project. We'll keep working away at it and do our best to get it done.
I just finished the demo, and I'm at a loss for words. I absolutely can not wait for the full release. The plot is so fantastic it genuinely blows my mind. The thought put into the storyline, the characters, and the dialogue is amazing. It's not even out yet, but it's already in my top 3 visual novels of all time. I love the gameplay and how we're able to change the characters traits and also feelings. I love everything about this game. Keep up the greatness!
Thank you very much ;v;! I'm so happy you enjoyed the game that much. We'll keep up the hard work and hopefully it'll keep ranking high once the full thing is finished.
this has to be one of the cutest games i've ever played, the art is so good and the story is just, awesome! i'm so excited and can't wait for summer!! amazing job <3
I've never been more excited about a visual novel release in my entire life. Seriously I love the concept of this game and I'm so excited to see what the final product is going to look like. I loved everything about the demo and I eagerly await this summer!
I downloaded the Android version. It's super cute so far. But I'm having the hardest time with the character creation screen. The arrows are so tiny I can't click on anything. And my phone screen (Galaxy Note 9) is on the bigger side.
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you think it's cute. Right now all versions of the demo are exactly the same because the game is incomplete. The finished project will have special alterations for each of the builds to make sure they're as compatible as possible with the different systems people will be playing the game on (i.e. the Android version will get screens that are arranged with extra large buttons and fewer things in the way). We'll also be releasing a demo update to add an entirely new character creation screen system that has somewhat larger buttons by default in a month or two. So it's definitely only a temporary thing, but I'm sorry it's been troublesome.
Hi! I'm having an issue with the PC demo? Every time I go to open the extracted application it just freezes and won't respond, have i installed something incorrectly? I'd appreciate any help with this problem.
Hey, I'm really sorry you're having trouble. I would recommend deleting it then re-downloading if no error code is happening and the game just isn't responding. Sometimes things go wrong when downloading/extracting and doing it all fresh could fix it up.
Also, if you have a lot of other things going on in the background when booting the game up for the first time, maybe close them so your computer can focus more on getting the demo running.
Hopefully that works out! Just let us know if you're still having issues.
this game made me so emotional. cove is adorable and i want to protect him at all costs. the music, the writing, the beautiful art, the insane customization...i have never been so excited for a game to come out! i can't wait until the full game comes out in the summer!
I played the demo for this game a month ago, and once I saw the update I immediately launched it once more! Speaking of the update, the amount of details that have been added in this short time frame really gave me the chills! The visuals are amazing, and I appreciate the customizable characters and the character sprites.
I just wanted to say that this game is an absolute joy to play, and it really tugs at my heartstrings. The fact that I get to develop a relationship with someone starting from childhood really sets in the realism, and I appreciate that we as players get to decide what type of romance we'd like!
Cove is such a sweetheart, and his design is amazing. I like that we as players have a role in his development but not too much in that it's obvious how he'll turn out. The fact that I can't force him to become someone also helps with the realism aspect.
All in all, I appreciate the hard work that's being put into this and from what we have so far I think it's going to go far! I am absolutely looking forward to the completion of this game, and you bet I'll always be replaying this game every time an update is added!
Thank you so much <3! That's all really nice of you to say. We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying how things are coming along. The next update will be released in January or February. It'll add updated visuals and expand the script of the events. Hopefully that'll be fun, too :D.
Hello. I have an error related to the height I chose for my MC. Every time I have an event wich refers to the hieght I got this message:

I'm sorry you had an issue! That happens if you load a save from a much older build of the demo and try to play the save file with all the new content of the current demo. It's not defined in the older save file, so the game can't properly access the new content. If you start a fresh file those errors won't cause you any more problems!

Oh my, hello again! How are you guys doing? I hope everyone is well and I'm sorry for being a little late!
First of all, I just want to express how sad I am for living in the southern hemisphere, but I hope you guys have fun at the Indie Megabooth and meet a lot of people so you can know how much OL is loved by us!

Hello! Thank you sharing your thoughts on the latest update :D. We're doing good, I hope you are too.
We'll definitely see if can do more public appearances in the future and in different places. Maybe sometime there will be a way for it to work out.
It's great you enjoyed the updates to Step 1 ^^. We wanted to make sure the events were as interactive as they could be. Though, please go get some rest, haha!
It's totally fine to ask questions. We're happy to answer. There are times when people will ask about the MC's scars, if they have them. Nice to know the extra options on the MC were appreciated. And Ishan Vieira is a really pretty name!

We're not sure how much content the MC doll will end up having by the time the game and all the DLCs are fully finished. We'll see how it develops!
Alright, no worries. If I choose to make it a slow burn then I'll just have to suck it up lol.
I wondered about the doll because the third page mentioned arms and legs. It's not a big deal, I was just curious.
It's no problem! It's totally fine to ask about those things ^^
I've been checking this page every other day and I see a glorious update to an already brilliant foundation. This is one of the few in-progress games that have managed to get my full attention, bravo.
Thank you so much! We're really glad you're invested. We'll be putting out more updates later on ^^.
I love this game! Ah, I haven't been so excited for a release date in a long while! Summer can't come sooner!!
Thank you <3! We'll keep adding more stuff to the demo, so hopefully that'll make the wait easier.
Ah, it will!
You're putting so many choices into this! It really makes you feel like you're in the game!
I'm glad you think so :D! We're doing our best to make it immersive.
I was so in love with this game when I first played it a few days ago. I see this new update for the Android version had some problems so it had to be taken down for more work... I'll wait patiently~
Thank you :D! We're trying to get it back up soon. We appreciate you waiting for it.
The Android version is available again!
I can't find a link to download the android version , can you help ?
We had to remove it temporarily because of an error! It'll be back up a little later on.
The Android version is available again!
Thank you so much for your hard work 😊 i'm so excited and can't wait for summer!
No problem! Thank you for waiting ^^.
I absolutely adored this demo and can't wait to play the entire thing. There are so many choices already!
Thank you very much ^^! We're really happy you had a good time with the demo. We'll keep working hard on the full version.
I love this game so far! Everything from the amount of choices, to the art, to the different story is amazing! Seriously can't wait for the full release
Thank you so much :D! We're really excited to get the full thing out later this year. We'll do our best with it.
I can't seem to find the Android download version. Am I in the wrong place? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Edit: Oops, my bad. Just seen that you were having errors with it. Sorry!
No problem! We're sorry for the delay with that version of the build. We're working on getting it ready to go again soon :D
The Android version is available again!
Thank you!
No problem! Thank you for waiting ^^.
So I downloaded the Android version but whenever I got past the playground scene in the first stage this https://imgur.com/a/5AEJe15 image just keep appearing. I don't know what to do about this :(
I'm sorry you can into that glitch! We'll upload a new build soon with it removed.
The Android version is fixed and available again!
Hi, I downloaded the demo and an error occurred. I uninstalled and will try again, hope it's okay now.
Picture of bug; http://imgur.com/a/5AEJe15
keeps happening :(
I'm sorry you're having trouble! We'll upload a new build soon with that issue resolved.
The Android version is fixed and available again!
I still love how you're putting characters from XOXO Droplets in here.
MY HEART NO JOKE MELTED WHEN I SAW SMALL BABY SHILOH AKHFIAUGFUKEWHaha, thank you! It's nice to hear you liked that. It's been fun to have them pop up in events.
Yeah! I like how dorky Jeremy looked when he was younger.
He's indeed a huge nerd.
A huge nerd that dislikes germs.
Yeah I gotchu there lmao.Truth.
so ive played the demo over and over again this game is genuinely so amazing. from the story to the characters and the art everything about this game is done so well and only the demos out which means it'll just keep getting better and better once the full game is out. it's obvious that you all are putting so much effort into this game and i can tell you it'll all be worth it in the end. this game is not like any other and it's just so so creative. i can't wait until the full game is out!! i will support the game and developers as much as i can <3

Aw, thank you so much ;v;! We're doing our best to make the most of the concept and we'll work hard to have the full version live up to expectations. Your support and kind words are really encouraging ^^.
Quick question. When this gets finished and released. I'm wondering how much it may cost. I'd like to save up to buy it when it comes out.
If this isn't a too nosey of a inquiry, that is. I apologize in advance it it is.
The game will be free-to-play! But we will be putting out various DLCs with extra content. Each DLC will be about 4USD, some a little less, some a little more. When it first comes out there will likely be three DLCs available at around the 4USD price (so it'd be around 12USD to get them all), and then over time even more will become available for purchase.
Sweet! Thank you!
No problem :D
wow! this is incredible. you guy's dedication really shows even through just the demo. anywhere i could donate? :)
Aw, thank you so much <3! It's nice to hear that our efforts are coming through. For people who like more content, we do have Patreon!

I just downloaded the game. I'm so surprised at how amazing everything about this game is. I can't wait for it's full release.
Thank you so much <3 <3! We'll work hard to get it done.
I hope that this game becomes super popular! Good luck
That's nice of you to say ^^. We hope so too, haha!
I want this to be the full release :(
I'm sorry. We are going to update the demo very soon, but sadly it'll take a while longer to get the whole thing done. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait!
Thank you!
omg i keep paranoidly checking this page waiting for the release, i may die of anticipation before it launches, i am ridiculously excited!
Haha, thank you <3! It's great to hear you're looking forward to it so much. We do plan to update the demo build pretty soon, hopefully before the end of the month.
This looks so cool, I've always wanted to play a game like this! And the art is ridiculously adorable! So looking forward to when it comes out!
Thank you very much :D! It's great to hear you enjoy the concept and style we're going with.
I can't wait for the full game! I love it so much already! 😍
You've done such an amazing job on this.
Thanks so much <3 <3!
I need it to come out! The choices, the art, everything looks awesome. I'm definitely downlading the demo.
Thank you very much :D! We'll do our best to get it done.
I can't wait for the full game to come out!! I love the charactors & the storyline~ also the charactor development is amazing uwu this will definitly be worth buying :D
Thank you so much for the sweet comment <3!
IM REAALLY EXCİTED. How can i wait until the full release :( so adaroble so cute so much awwww :3 already my favorite. Beautiful art and interesting dynamic/story.. Im starting to save some money $
That's great to hear! We'll do our best to make the finished version worth the while. Thank you for the nice comment <3
I'm sorry you had trouble! We'll send that to our main programmer. Can you tell us what system you're on, if you've played an old version of the demo in the past (the info from that old version might've carried over), and if you hit a particular key/shortcut on the keyboard before this happened? For right now it sounds like something tried to make the game do a thing it can't do, but I'm not sure what might've made it try to do that thing it can't do.
Well, the system I'm on is the window, and I played an old version of this before the screen froze, and I also don't think I hit any buttons before it started freezing the game.
The programmer went over it and said the issue is that something prevented the game from making the cache (saved info/images) it needed to continue. You can try a few things to fix that:
-Delete the build and try downloading/extracting it fresh to see if something when wrong when getting the files
-Clear extra memory space on your computer (if space is tight and your computer)
-Run fewer things while playing the game (if you play games with other things open)
-See if your computer needs updates
-Try to see if it works when played on a different computer, if possible
Hopefully things are able to get sorted and it starts working on your system! Let us know how it goes and if you're still struggling.
So I remembered this game but had uninstalled the demo off my Android sometime ago after seeing a post about it on r/otomegames (I kept it on my phone for months until I needed to make space lol). I really enjoyed the demo, but I forgot the game's name so I looked around trying to find it and replay it haha. I am pleasantly surprised with the new additions to the demo since I last played it and I'm glad you guys are still working on this project! I have had no blips or errors while playing through the demo this time and I'm glad for it! The demo was so addicting too, I played it late at night even though I had work in the morning lol. I'm looking forward to its release! I still love the graphics and the addition of partial voice acting and more dialogue options are nice too. I love the versatility of the dialogue and how choices can affect Cove. So interesting, I can't wait to play this over and over! :)
Thank you! It's great to hear you enjoyed all the updates. I hope you got some rest later on though, haha. We'll be putting out another demo update pretty soon, we're aiming for next month. The demo is gonna keep being improved/expanded until the game releases this summer so feel free to check in again later on for more new things ^^.
Honestly one of the best game I played yet! You have a lot of choices that shapes your character and Cove's one wich makes it more realistic, like a feeling that you are in their world, looking forward to playing the full game, when will it air? :) once again Bravo! it's amazing!
Thank you so much for the kind words ^^! The game will come out in August 2020, though it won't be everything. Extra, optional content will continue to come out every few months for the rest of the year and probably until a bit into 2021 as well. So there's plenty of stuff to look forward to.
I genuinely enjoyed the demo! The story, art, and characters are amazing ! It is very well written and the characters feel real. Also, not only the character design but the backgrounds are very well done. It is a type of game that I had not played before and I really enjoyed it. The fact that Cove's personality changes according to the decisions I make was truly interesting and I really liked it. I must add that I have always liked that the games let me customize my character, and above all choose my pronouns. I played the demo several times to see what could go out and I found it quite interesting.I'm looking forward to buying the dlcs when it comes out on Steam! Good job ╰(*´︶`*)╯
Thank you <3! We tried out best with all the different features and customization options, it's really great you enjoyed them so much. We'll keep working hard to get the full version finished :D
I am just at lost for words, the art, and the current storyline is just amazing I'm always looking for interesting storylines and character backgrounds ect, but this is just beyond my expectations the game isn't even out yet and I'm already loving it I've already re-played the game twice always picking new decision. I also love the fact that one point of age you could be a girl and the next a boy (Vice versa) and you don't see that often. I do hope that when the game is fully released you guys get a major high ranking because this game is beyond expectations if I had to pay for it I definitely would
Aw! Thank you so much for saying such nice things ;v;. It's really encouraging to hear you enjoyed what we have going with the project. It'll be free on completion, though you will be able to get extra content by purchasing DLCs.
I played the demo and really enjoyed it! Its beautifully written, choices portray what you feel exactly, visuals are stunning and I can't wait until the full game comes out! I really look forward to buying this game. I'm cheering y'all on and wish you luck with this spectacular project!
Thank you so much! It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed it that much ^^. We'll do our best with the finished version.
I absolutly love this game. Its so cute i cant even stand it. I can not wait for the full game. Oh and i can not handle seeing little baby shiloh. That cute little brat i love him. And Jeremy. Oh Jeremy, that hair cut. I'd be angry too.
Thank you, haha! Happy to hear you enjoyed the demo and the cameos ^^. Those babies are problem children even before showing up in XOXO Droplets.
I just finished the demo and all I've got to say about it is WOW!
I am loving everything about this game. It is very well done, the characters, from what I could see in the demo are greatly developed, I can relate to them and feel their own unique personalities. And the customization availiable for both your MC and the relationship they have with Coven are such a great added value. I am simply in love with this game.
And the art style, phew! Simply stunning! Kudos to the artist for that amazing job!!
This game absolutely seem to be going in the good direction! I can't wait for the final version of it!
Aw, thank you <3! I'm sure the artists are gonna be really happy to know you appreciate all the work they put into the project. We'll keep working away at it and do our best to get it done.
I just finished the demo, and I'm at a loss for words. I absolutely can not wait for the full release. The plot is so fantastic it genuinely blows my mind. The thought put into the storyline, the characters, and the dialogue is amazing. It's not even out yet, but it's already in my top 3 visual novels of all time. I love the gameplay and how we're able to change the characters traits and also feelings. I love everything about this game. Keep up the greatness!
Thank you very much ;v;! I'm so happy you enjoyed the game that much. We'll keep up the hard work and hopefully it'll keep ranking high once the full thing is finished.
this has to be one of the cutest games i've ever played, the art is so good and the story is just, awesome! i'm so excited and can't wait for summer!! amazing job <3
Thanks very much ^^! That's so nice of you to say.
I've never been more excited about a visual novel release in my entire life. Seriously I love the concept of this game and I'm so excited to see what the final product is going to look like. I loved everything about the demo and I eagerly await this summer!
Thank you so much <3! That's really nice to hear. We're gonna do our best to make sure it's worth all the excitement.
I downloaded the Android version. It's super cute so far. But I'm having the hardest time with the character creation screen. The arrows are so tiny I can't click on anything. And my phone screen (Galaxy Note 9) is on the bigger side.
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you think it's cute. Right now all versions of the demo are exactly the same because the game is incomplete. The finished project will have special alterations for each of the builds to make sure they're as compatible as possible with the different systems people will be playing the game on (i.e. the Android version will get screens that are arranged with extra large buttons and fewer things in the way). We'll also be releasing a demo update to add an entirely new character creation screen system that has somewhat larger buttons by default in a month or two. So it's definitely only a temporary thing, but I'm sorry it's been troublesome.
Hi! I'm having an issue with the PC demo? Every time I go to open the extracted application it just freezes and won't respond, have i installed something incorrectly? I'd appreciate any help with this problem.
Hey, I'm really sorry you're having trouble. I would recommend deleting it then re-downloading if no error code is happening and the game just isn't responding. Sometimes things go wrong when downloading/extracting and doing it all fresh could fix it up.
Also, if you have a lot of other things going on in the background when booting the game up for the first time, maybe close them so your computer can focus more on getting the demo running.
Hopefully that works out! Just let us know if you're still having issues.
this game made me so emotional. cove is adorable and i want to protect him at all costs. the music, the writing, the beautiful art, the insane customization...i have never been so excited for a game to come out! i can't wait until the full game comes out in the summer!
Thank you! That's so nice of you to say. We'll do our best to make it worth all the excitement <3.
cant wait till summer 2020 i love this game sm
Thank you so much ^^!
I played the demo for this game a month ago, and once I saw the update I immediately launched it once more! Speaking of the update, the amount of details that have been added in this short time frame really gave me the chills! The visuals are amazing, and I appreciate the customizable characters and the character sprites.
I just wanted to say that this game is an absolute joy to play, and it really tugs at my heartstrings. The fact that I get to develop a relationship with someone starting from childhood really sets in the realism, and I appreciate that we as players get to decide what type of romance we'd like!
Cove is such a sweetheart, and his design is amazing. I like that we as players have a role in his development but not too much in that it's obvious how he'll turn out. The fact that I can't force him to become someone also helps with the realism aspect.
All in all, I appreciate the hard work that's being put into this and from what we have so far I think it's going to go far! I am absolutely looking forward to the completion of this game, and you bet I'll always be replaying this game every time an update is added!
I'm a giant fan! Please keep up the good work!
Thank you so much <3! That's all really nice of you to say. We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying how things are coming along. The next update will be released in January or February. It'll add updated visuals and expand the script of the events. Hopefully that'll be fun, too :D.
Hello. I have an error related to the height I chose for my MC. Every time I have an event wich refers to the hieght I got this message:

I'm sorry you had an issue! That happens if you load a save from a much older build of the demo and try to play the save file with all the new content of the current demo. It's not defined in the older save file, so the game can't properly access the new content. If you start a fresh file those errors won't cause you any more problems!
