New demo is OUT NOW!


In the past months, I've called it an extended demo, but it has drastically transformed that it doesn't feel like an extension of the jam demo anymore, so really I should call it a new demo. And finally, months of blood, sweat, and tears, it's here!!! 

I admit it wasn't smooth sailing (with members changing, issues reoccurring during production), and a few of us lost sleep and sanity, so after this, we'll be taking some time off to relax and hibernate. 

I want to thank the members who worked on the new demo, thank you for joining the team and for the amazing work you've created. In addition, our programmers have worked endlessly to bring the game to life, they deserve so much praise. And to our incredible testers who've withstood the tedious pain of playing the game over and over again to find bugs, we're so grateful for the work you do. And of course, we can't forget the older members who helped build the game from the beginning and who waited so patiently for the demo to release. Please show them love and gratitude however you can!

And lastly, thank YOU for your patience, support, and kind words. You were our fuel when we needed it the most, and there were many times when the imposter syndrome, anxiety, and stress hit. Seeing you cheer us on meant a lot to us, and thinking about your excitement when the demo comes out was something we looked forward to. To our Patreon supporters who believed in us and supported our dev journey, a hundred thank you's can never truly express the gratitude we have for you. Thank you all so so much!

What's new?

  • Joseph, Oliver, and Ivan routes are now playable up to Day 3!
  • Partial voice acting for the remaining three LIs.
  • Customizable status message. 
  • Settings and save/load are finally implemented. 
  • New points system. The guys will always call you no matter if you made bad choices.
  • Skip text by holding Left Ctrl

What's unchanged?

  • Little to no changes for Daeho and Roman's route. Our focus was entirely on Joseph, Oliver, and Ivan, and game functions. But now that we're out of the demo mines, Daeho and Roman will receive some added changes.

Known bugs

The downside to the demo is that it isn't 100% polished, with a few bugs here and there. This is a list of bugs which you'll highly encounter. Hopefully these bugs don't deter your enjoyment and gaming experience.

  • Conversations disappear when loading saves (this is intended by design to shorten loading speeds).
  • Months are mixed up on save files.
  • When saving the game at a route tiebreaker question with the choices shown, upon loading the question is skipped and you are brought into the same route you chose previously.

What's next?

Now that we've finally released the demo, the next step is to tackle funding for the full game. Our Kickstarter is set to release on May 6 11 am CST / 9 am PST. Follow our pre-launch page to receive email notification when it goes live: 

We also now have a Steam page which you can wishlist our game on~


That's it from me, happy playing everyone!
