Hey, what’s the difference between the win and pc versions? Is one better?

Very sweet game. I appreciated the talks about mental health and the willingness of the characters to go to therapy and help each other grow. I also love how the characters are allowed to be who they are. Noct can wear skirts, and it's not a big deal. Carol can play dating sims and isn't mocked for it. (Also love that everyone is casually trans). It's fun to play a dating sim where the MC has such a strong and bold personality. Jazz is completely different than me, but I loved getting to play as her. Definitely prefer it to the dating sims where the MC has no personality or agency because creators want a blank slate you can project on. The writing was extremely good, and I appreciated the honesty of the characters. My biggest complaint is that the choice of what route you take isn't obvious. Even if it breaks the immersion, it would have been nice if the choice was like "Stay inside (Noct's route) or go outside (Carol's route)." Was super lucky I got Noct on my first try, but making that a bit more obvious would have been nice. Overall I enjoyed the game! Thanks so much for creating it.  

I really enjoyed everything about the story and its messages (plus artwork)... Thank you so much!  It is wonderful to hear such things in a time of need.

Keep up the good work!  :D

that was such an amazing story and i absolutely loved the filipino representation! i'm obsessed!!! :)

This story is so sweet and heartfelt, it really touched me. It was a wonderful ride, thank you.

I just finished a route and while I don't think I'll go back and play the others, that's because this game made me feel many feelings and was a wonderful read. Thank you for making this. Noct is best soft boy.

ooh seems cool! i'll give it a shot

this is so cute! i love all your characters and read through all your developer's notes.

Hi, the pc (not win) version is listed as running on Mac and Linux… how do you run it on either? I’m only seeing a Windows .exe in there. Also, what’s the difference between the pc version and the others? Thanks!

Really interesting and fun freebie! Thanks for sharing. :)

Aaaahhh!!! I absolutely adored this game!!! Truly a hidden gem. I was rooting for the main characters the whole way through. I played both routes and I honestly loved them both!!! Carol's blushy shyness was too cute to bear and I cackled at the banter between Noct and Jazz. This was such a heartwarming story. I'm really glad I played it.

Also, idk if it helps but Carol is actually also a man's name, so it wasn't weird or surprising to me that a boy was named Carol. (Reminds of my friend, Sam, who didn't change his name after he came out either :P)

i completely adore this. it was not at all what i was expecting, but what i found was an incredible cast of characters that made me cry, reflect, and squee at the growing relationships. i did the friend endings first because i'm genre naive but had to go back for the romance endings when i realized they existed, totally worth. the writing was on point, very human with a healthy dose of wit. as someone who has struggled through a variety of mental and social issues, this portrayal of some familiar ways of being a person felt so honest. thanks for adding it to my life <3

At times witty, other times emotional, there's no denying that this is beautifully written. 
Not to mention the wonderful artwork!

I highly recommend playing this masterpiece created by my friend!

i came here and gave 5 stars before I finished Carol's route, but now that I finished everything (including the extras) i have to say that MY FUCKING GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THIS IS A PIECE OF ART THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS I LOVE YOU 

Yayy I finished it! 

Thank you for this game. It was so funny but also touching (i cried hahaha). It felt complete and the story was really well thought out. I think the strong points of this game is how there is so much meaning in the story. I enjoyed how we get to experience the family dynamics and the main characters' interactions with their families, and also how the characters overcome their own struggles and problems. 

I also love all the character designs, my personal favourite is Noct's though because I find it really refreshing how his design works with his personality. 

I'm happy for the MC(Jazz) to end up with either of them ; - ; couldn't ask for more from this vn really, its awesome :) 

Honestly, fuck you for making me cry so much just during Noct's path. It just, it hit kind of close to home, and I just... How many times did I cry? 3? 5? Around that amount.

The artstyle is charming, characters are really well written and relatable, the back and worth dialogue (I'm specifically referring to Jazz's and Noct's here) has such wonderful flow and personality, and the jokes are hilarious. I swear to god, I went back and forth between laughing and crying so much that I probably have whiplash. I seriously love this game to bits and pieces.

And, uh, I just started Carol's path, and can I just admire the brilliant, genius joke of Jazz thinking the delinquent is a playboy and that the playboy is a delinquent? 

I accidentally got Noct's romance ending (I kind of just chose stuff I would do until the end were I just went "Eh, sure, I'll go romance"), and am going to play Carol's path then get the endings that I missed.

Great game!

So I downloaded this game not being sure about it or the artstyle. But let me say, that as time went on, I fell in love with Noct (though I only got the friend ending, but I really wanted the more romantic ending. Not sure how to get it though. Guess I have to replay it.) I never even saw Carol, but I was fine with it because I was going to go for Noct first. I guess I have to figure out how to get to his route too. Anyways, I did not expect this game to be played for 3 hours. I thought it was going to be a short game, but I was wrong. I loved it so much though. I loved Noct's and Jas's interaction with each other. I'm glad she wasn't like the typical MC. She was hilarious. Keep up the good work!

Alright the artstyle had me thrown for a loop at first, and i didn't really think it would be my kind of story, but I read a couple of the other reviews and everyone else seemed pretty blown away, so i gave it a shot and like

I got no sleep playing this visual novel okay

I was up until like 4am finishing Noct's route and holy fuck

Yknow how you "lol" but you dont really laugh? Jazz made me actually laugh out loud and it was just a really really good story, 

I DIDNT ASK FOR YOU TO PULL MY HEARTSTRINGS BUT YOU DID ANYWAY SO THERE YA GO

I really really love carol and noct and the families and it was just too wholesome for my toxic heart and I can't appreciate u enough  ok ty

I don't even know what to say. I downloaded this game because I thought it was going to be short, fun and a bit whacky and sure enough it turned out to be hillarious. But also heartbreaking, warm, relatable and absolutely lovely. 

First of all: Jazz is the best. Hands down. Best protagonist I've ever witnessed in such a game. She has so much personality and I think I might have found some of my new favorite swear words, ooopsie-freaking-macy-daisy. I love her. And her backstory broke my heart. I honestly cried during my first playthrough on  Carol's route. Especially the scene where Jin is comforting her made me bawl my eyes out. 

I also really loved Laby and his crying. Actually all of the family interactions were great, I could really feel the love between all of the families, Noct's and Carol's. It's amazing how well you captured family dynamics. The characters in general felt so fleshed out and each of them was interesting in their own way. I find myself wondering how their lives go on after the story and that is an amazing feat for a storyteller. I read every single bonus story and I'm usually not one for extra stuff.

The last thing that really got me was the representation of mental health problems. Oh my gosh, you did it really well. It was an integral part of the story while not having the whole focus just on how bad it is to have either depression or anxiety. Carol might have been a bit over the top with his furious blushing, but then again that is his character and I love him, but Noct's depression was just so spot on, I'm honestly impressed.

So overall I simply have to say good job. On one hand you made me cry very hard, on the other I never laughed out loud while playing a visual novel before and I have played my fair share. I really like your humour and story telling. So keep it up! I'm excited to see what you are up to next.

(Also if you behind the screen read this whole text now, this is a definite recommendation to play this game, if you haven't figured that out yourself by now!)

this is one of the greatest most wholesome games i've ever played! i will write a full review highlighting exactly what i liked about it tomorrow but here are some quick things:

-jazz's backstory

-sense of humor

-backgrounds (hand drawn gives it a more cozy feeling)

-character design

-story about the name inspiration

-the cat

-story of raptillion

-carol (♥)

-noct (♥)

u really know how to touch peoples hearts while making them double over in laughter. 100/10 great game great creator

The MC is very weird (but in a good way of course ;)) Glad to have found this game! Can tell you've put a lot of work into it

I really like the dedication invested into representing those with depression. I felt that I could finally relate to a character for once because they showed how to even get to the process of healing. It was really nice. Thanks to the developers for making my day with this game!

PS: I know this sounds petty but can I check if I can romance the love interests because I think I have gotten the Friend Ending only. Not that there is anything wrong with that, the guy was super sweet and relatable! ;D

This game is really cute!
