This was actually really awesome, what a neat game!
Maybe dodge rolling with my girlfriend will make the conversations go better...
I can’t guarantee the results, but please report back 😂
tried doing this in real life with my crush and she called me a weirdo wtf
I must clarify that the techniques in this game have not been tested in real-world situations.
Hi. I saw another comment offering a Thai translation which you seemed to be interested in, would you also be interested in a translation to Brazilian Portuguese? Here's my twitter, if you'd prefer to talk there:
@Leafar0456
Hi! Thank you so much for the offer! I’d definitely be interested in discussing a Brazilian Portuguese translation. It’s a bit late here today, so I’ll reach out to you on Twitter tomorrow!
Now I can practice my combos for taking to real women.
Glad I could provide such valuable training material. Good luck with your combos!
Lol, it was pretty damn funny. Thanks for making this.
Thanks! I’m really glad it made you laugh 😂 Thanks for playing!
This was great fun to play. I honestly think that this concept could work for a longer game if developed a bit.
Besides that, I will keep in mind what I learned from this for when I eventually try talking to real women.
Thanks so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it.
And I hope everything you learned here serves you well when that day finally comes 😂
This is probably the best depiction of what it feels like to talk to women.
I'm glad my extremely accurate relationship simulator is being appreciated 😂 Thanks for playing!
is have anyone translate to thai, if not i think i can do that, and if you want you can dm me in discord nametag:amethyst_0983t , anyways i like you game to much please part 2
Thanks so much for the offer!
There isn't a Thai translation at the moment, and I'd definitely be interested in discussing it.
May I ask if Thai is your native language, and whether you'd be comfortable translating from the English version?
Sure i am Thai people, and i comfortable to translating
Thank you! I'd be happy to discuss the Thai translation with you.
Would X (Twitter) DM or email work for you? I don't use Discord very often.
Sure i have a X(Twitter) and email
You can contact me from this address

hardest soulslike i have ever played, peak.
Thank you! The true final boss was communication all along. 😎
Hi! Thanks for making this
Just finished the game and it was amazing!
The gameplay is unique and creative. I've never seen a visual novel with mechanics like this before. The music is good for a free game and fits the game very well.
It's quite short, but it was totally worth the time.I didn't need to read a wall of text to get what was happening
Hope the dev will make more games like this in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I'm really happy you enjoyed the game, especially the gameplay and its short, fast-paced format.
And as for making more games like this... I'm actually working on something new right now! 👀
Thanks again for playing!
