Cute game! I like the simplicity but also the quiet depth of the characters and story so far. Interested to see where it goes and why she's stuck there!
Thanks for the demo!
Thank you for playing and for your kind words! I'm so glad you liked it!
Hm. Could be something weird on my end, but I downloaded the game and there wasn't a game launcher icon in the folder, just the normal Renpy stuff, so I couldn't open the game.
Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention! It was definitely an issue from my end as this is my first time making a game! I think I have put the correct game files up this time, so it should work now :)
Thanks! Downloading now :)
