IM SOOOO OBSESSED

En la play store solo que se traba un poco 😭
I’m so broke :(
BRUH, I NEED TO PAY MONEY IF I WANT ANYTHING FURTHER THAN WHAT I GOT TO, i think it was day 4 that i could only play up to.....i need MORE
The way you integrated the gameplay mechanics into the text layers is brilliant. It’s always inspiring for me as a game developer to see other indie creators pushing the boundaries of traditional visual novels. Kept me hooked till the end!
Hey so I had this game for a few months now and I wanted to play it again but I don't know why I don't have the intro of the game I'm just already on the computor home and I don't hear any music sound or voice even after I checked that it was turned on?
soo i think a game has a bug, i buyed full game but cant get past day 5 soo i guess that wold be a probleam or try to update it :3
day 5-8 are DLCs u have to buy , theyre on twitch
i alredy buyed them on itch.io
As I said in my review but I think it would be a good reminder to say it here too, This already was one of the best romance games I've ever played in my life, and that's quite the achievement if you take into consideration that I've been playing all kinds of games for 25 years, and specifically that genre of visual novels for 18 years now. But the full version of the game was so much more than anything I could ever imagine, it's by far one of the best investments I have ever done in my life. It was life changing, to say the least. I never took so long to finish a game before, not because it's long or difficult, but because I genuinely didn't want it to end, I didn't want to lose the feeling of discovering for the first time how would be a life with a partner so caring that genuinely loves me in the same intensity I love them. And it was much more shocking when I discovered I really lived a life with him, not in a "left to your own imagination happily ever after" kind of way, like almost, if not, all other romance stories. Even Our Life is about growing up along with your crush, doesn't have a full life scene, it ends when most people are really starting to live on their own terms. And, ironically, that's exactly the stage of life that we start in the story of ERROR143, the early 20's and it covers basically all the rest of your life together.
Looks Peak :3
y'all ever heard the song Error 143 by Kroh??
