This game is beautiful <3

In this game you follow the love story of two girls, and the choices you make deeply matter, I love how this game has so many options that affect the future, I am in love with the amazing art along with the calm music. I love how much it touches my emotions, and how as cute and calm it is, its also heartbreaking and sad in some moments, I like how the options can greatly change the story with just the slightest change you can end up with a new ending and I absolutely love how in depth it is, I like how the game also is realistic in some ways talking about life love emotions music etc and how it focuses on both the good and bad but mainly I like how deep the characters love is and how much their love is shown,this game is truly amazing and the only thing I would want from it is even more content from earlier in their life (teen years) and something that says how many endings you can have and how many you got ( like in settings something that says 2/4 endings or smth)Love this game sm

gives feelings i have never felt before

i played missed messages and loved it, that game hit me hard and i didn’t know if i was emotionally prepared for another game by her. So about a month later today, i finally had the courage and played the game. at the start it felt lacking, but then i played it again and tried for a different ending. it hit me hard, and then i kept playing, just getting every ending. at the end i chose to go back to the ending i got my second run, and i was absolutely destroyed. i cannot describe the feelings and just everything this game gave me. this game is incredible; it’s a soul crusher, the art is great, the music really grew on me, and it’s just a great story. i cannot recommend this game enough, the fact that this game is only 3$ is criminal.

Just beautiful

I loved the story and all the endings. It’s so well done and pretty! Exactly my kind of style. But I don’t think this is very appropriate for 4 year olds. Someone that young might not understand what a brain tumor and it’s not exactly great to give them worries like these so I would say this game if for 10+. I also like that this game doesn’t collect data or include in-app purchases. I hate it when you pay for a game and then have to pay more money!!! All in all, amazing game. I would totally recommend it and it’s a perfect LGBTQ+ story! 👏😄 P.S. go check out their other games! There great too!!!

i’m not crying you are...

this is such a beautiful story. i replayed it a couple times before i got to the old age ending. it was so emotional, i cried at the end. the perfect example of what if’s and wishing for different endings. i don’t know which ending was the true ending, but i wonder if maybe august had imagined some of those endings in order to move on? i’m sure the one where they’re old is the true ending, but i like thinking she got carried away with imagining this big wonderful life with her. one thing i think would be good to add is a content warning though. i know someone else made that comment as well. at first i was playing it and my boyfriend was watching, but he soon became triggered by the brain tumors and virus scenarios. he has severe health anxiety and i think it would be good if there was a warning so others don’t become triggered. still a beautiful game and i can’t wait to see what else these creators come up with! :)

Beautiful!

Between the story line, characters, and music everything is beautiful. The game play wasn’t as long as the description says but I’m alright with that. I love the two characters- August and May- and their different personalities. The game was beautiful and I really loved going through and playing for the different endings. Thank you for such a wonderful game! Originally I came here because I’d played another game “there’s this girl” and this game had similar feels to that one. It did not disappoint!

I love this game so much!! But there’s a little problem

(this review contains spoilers.) This game is beautifully bittersweet. I loved playing it. However, after you’ve played through the end, and you try to go back, something about the “Enjoying the memories she gave me.” screen makes the game decide not to actually play the game. It just stops on a blank screen. Then the second time, it freezes up on the second image behind the words. This is literally the only problem I have with this game, and I’m not even sure if it’s just me.

Amazing LGBTQIA+ game

Where to start, first the main character is a beautiful transgender woman. Her love interest is a also amazing lesbian woman. Also the choices actually impact the story and what seems to be some of the smallest choices, really impact their story. They also make it realistic by having them quarantined for some of their story. I played threw the game and got all of the endings each one made laugh, one made me cry and just told a story. Oh and the beautiful art! Each piece of art is beautifully drawn and shaded with a beautiful color palette. They do re-use pictures but very rarely. Also the dialogue, it’s realistic and funny. They sound like real people. It’s just right. It’s funny enough for it to not to devalue the game and also is great enough to add to the story. The music, it was amazing and it adds emotion and just adds so much to the characters and story. Over all this game is amazing.

Not as good as expected

This game has great graphics and amazingly represented pride, but as a game, it lacks a lot of things. The description said “40-90” minutes of game play, yet I finished it in about 5 minutes. I’m not willing to go back and read the same 20 dialogues just to pick one different option for another ending. And yeah, there’s like what, 5 choices in total? I was expecting something more. More character development, more about how they meet, just more short stories to make my money worthwhile. I am honestly disappoint to use $3 on a 5 minute game that had so much great potential :(
