Found this game a few days ago and have probably replayed a couple dozen times already. Short, sweet and it's great :D

Definitely enjoyed the branching paths and the differences you get with which places you visit first. Also all the ending dialogue too. I only once got the ending where you can almost confess everything to Sebastian, but I've been trying to see it again.

And just a little thing I've noticed but, while the player character is technically gender-neutral, I think you're meant to play as a queer male? Between "finding mutual gayness" with Melissa and Sebastian's ex going by he/him, I'm think I'm seeing something.

Again, pretty cool. Enjoyed it. Good game!


P.S. liked stealing stuff

woah this was great there were moments of 'ohnoohno' but overall really great loved playing it.

This is vaguely ominous, because playing it for the first time through, it just said 'You did not find out his secrets...'

WHAT ARE HIS SECRETS!?

wow! might be cliche to say but I sure was not expecting that direction and the writing is simple but captivating!

This is short but it's so cute! I enjoyed playing through this game :D

Omg I love this so much. <3

I think this was one of the very first Twine games I ever played, and it's still one of my favorites. I really enjoyed figuring out how to get all the different endings and finding out little bits about the protagonist's life.

(Also, I'll probably write a comment on Thanksgiving too once I've gotten a chance to play more of it, but I'm very glad that Thanksgiving is about the same protagonist as Aquarium because I had gotten pretty attached to them from replaying Aquarium a lot.)

Hi, thank you so much! It's always exciting to hear that sort of reaction - I hope you enjoy Thanksgiving too!

I really liked this. It wasn't especially cutesy, and there is a lack of good text adventures recently. It kinda feels like a lost art, but you did it justice. 10/10

Thank you very much! It's the kind of romance I like to read/play so I'm glad it came across well!

The story I've been looking for. 10/10
