I really enjoyed this game, thank you for putting it out. Also this was my most viewed and liked video, which is so funny to me. Of course its me fawning over a man XD
Glad you liked it! Also love your video <3
Usually I dislike calling people by the short versions of their names and being shortened to Nastya in return (just an odd quirk of mine), but! I grew up with a cat named Vasya, who I loved more than anyone in the whole world, so when Valisy asked to call him Vasya I immediately folded 💙
Funny and specific positive childhood triggers aside, that's such a nice short vn with an amazing atmosphere, art, writing and music. Thank you!
Oh my god how is this so good!!!!! I love the writing, plot, art and everything. Esp Liza's traditional costume, so prettyyyy. I played athrough all the endings.
Thank you so much 🖤🖤 I'm so happy you loved everything! And yess I had a lot of fun designing Elizaveta
Vasily is so gorgeous 😳 I love the game's artstyle!
Thank you 🖤
Ok just ran back here to play the update and omg! I was expecting Vasily to be pretty easy but I'm glad I got a glimpse of what he's like towards the end, super complex character! Definitely would love more time to figure him out!
also I kept getting bad ends
spoiler
I was nice to him and wanted to get closer but I got taken over instead?
Thanks for your comment :) Vasily definitely has his own motivations however he can be quite sweet/dedicated if you know what his desires are. And I published a short guide for avoiding bad ends:

I’m not sure how you downloaded it but it looks like you have duplicate files that are conflicting. Probably delete the old version and if needed the save file directory and download the updated version. Otherwise I’m not sure, haven’t gotten that error
Oki thanks! I'll give it a try. Just wanted to make sure that it was just me!
Hi! I absolutely love the concept of the game. I am a professional video game translator looking to expand my portfolio, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in translating your game into Latin American Spanish. Feel free to contact me anytime. My discord is micairi 😊
please release the full version soon I already love this ma
this was fun and I'm def more intrigued now
THIS IS SO GOOD!! HE LOOKS SO COOL AND HANSOME AND ELEGANT I LOVE HIM!! i'll wait as patiently as i can for the full game to be released, and i hope the game runs in android and to be in spanish too hehe
AGHHHH SO CUTE I NEED THE FULL RELEASE
Short demo but it really got my attention. Major thing I liked was choosing your pronouns/sex. I don't often play games/vns outside of my preferred genre. So, this is based off of my own experience. But something I've seen in other vns, is regardless of what pronouns you choose they still tend to be female orientated/tailored. I was honestly surprised we could even pick pronouns. Just kind of assumed the mc would be female. Not only that but the fact that you incorporated that into the story was really surprising. Not just for the males but gave all 3 options lore that sound realistic to its time frame. I could go in painstakingly great detail about how much I love this small and trivial part of the game. All this to say, it honestly made me feel really happy. I'll be here when the full game releases.
Me encanta el estilo de dibujo 💗 alguna vez estará para Android??? 🫂
who dis fine shyttt (ㅅ´ ˘ `) 𖹭
Loved the drawing style of this! Vasily is so cuuute, can't wait for the full game~

It's stunning and moody! Gosh! I can't wait until the full game comes out! I will stream the mess out of it!

Thank you ☺️ it took a while!
GOTY FROM LEGENDARY DEV GALEN GAMES!!!!!!!!!!
(i have not played yet but am excited to play later)
TY and YESS!!
Hey! I apologize if this has been answered but will the full version be with a price? :) Looking forward to more!!
We are not planning on making the update paid
Hello! I don't know why, but changing the text speed makes me unable to write my name. Either way, the game sure is interesting!
Hey, thanks for playing! Was it the web version or did you download the game (win or mac)?
I'll see if we can recreate your issue and fix it!
I played it web version! Had the text speed lowered around the middle, and the music lowered a bit too. Thanks!
Hmm..I haven't been able to recreate it on my end thus far. Have you tried playing again or downloading the game? (the web version is actually a beta feature so we can't guarantee it will work 100% for everyone's browser!)
Regardless thank you again for playing and notifying me!
No problem! I installed the Windows version and there's no bugs, so maybe it's my browser problem. Thanks again!
This was super interesting! im excited for more updates!
Thank you! We should have something more soon :)
Looking forward to the release!!
Love the music and art, a little confused with the writing at times especially for the gender selection bit but overall very good! 🥰
Thanks! We'll keep that in mind!
I agree, i didn't even realize it was the gender selection at first lol
Very intriguing start, wasn't expecting quite what I got. Definitely following for the rest of the game.
Thank you!
That title screen art!! I've been staring into his eyes...
He is pretty
