Community Insight:
If you really enjoy Visual Novels and want to read a light hearted story then this is what youre looking for and highly recommend checking this visual novel out. By playing the various routes you can experience the many situations. You can get funny endings to heartwarming endings which is just great how this small out of the way game contains such a variety of well done routes. It also has really good voice acting along with the games really nice song we enjoyed listening to. At the time we played the game the store was disabled for IOS which prevents getting achievements for HD wallpaper. Which fortunately this game has a great developer who we reach out to and got a link to the wallpaper.
The best visual novel Ive ever played. Thats all we have to say about it. :).
We love visual novels and Im glad we finally got around to playing this game. We loved it and the art is awesome thank you for making this.
We are surprised that a small free anime game like this exists, the soundtrack is catchy, the dialogue is hilarious, and the voice acting is surprisingly very good.
As the title says we really enjoyed this game ,and we would recommend it to everyone we know which isnt a lot but still.You have nothing to lose by taking our word for it. Its literally freee. Well mabye your time since you can never get that back ,but you certainly wont be wasting your time on this game. Every one of the endings was interesting in its own way.Also if you get all the achievements they say you get a wallpaper which is pretty cool.we havent been able to get all of them yet but Im definitely looking forward to it. It is also really funny sometimes.we wont say how because we think its better when its a surprise. The song that plays is also really catchy got stuck in our head all night. We have a lot more to say about how good this game is ,but to keep it short you should definitely try the game out.
The game is super fun to go through, trying to earn every achievement and discover each ending. The English voice acting is really good as well as funny. Every ending is unique and a few even caught us completely off guard. The art style is also really nice to look at while playing. The last thing we would like to mention is the superb customer support. We like all apple users could not earn every achievement required for the end game reward. This issue was remedied by the developer helping us to get the award. This game is worth your time for sure, and if you ever have a problem the developer is really nice and will try their best to help you.
Every ending is so unique and funny in its own way. English Dialogue was well crafted for even a English weeb like ourselves can enjoy the little Easter eggs the developer put in. Loved the OST specifically Top Dog personally our favorite song so far of the year. The setting is hilarious and makes you question if this is a dating simulator or not. Theres no reason not to try out this game especially when its FREE. Youll want to play every ending.
Giving us the reward that is unobtainable on IOS alone gives them a 5 star, great job.
We absolutely love this game! Its super addicting and we love the challenge of trying to get all the endings. Not to mention the character design is super cute! Its a super creative game, and we would definitely recommend this to others, especially fans of visual novels :).
Well voiced and a fun past time.
We like it but we wish you could be a dog and make your self.
A game… Ig. Anyways we just would like to know how to get the shop achievement because there's no option for a shop. We want to complete all achievements because we like perfection.
