i LOVE Aramis
I genuinely started crying over the bad end and it took me 3 tries to get the good end lol, but I am now content
loved the game!
Aramis my beloved...that man is so cute it physically hurts. I love him and his silly bunny ears so much, he is so sweet. Kujo is cute too, honestly relatable in a lot of things, but Mr. Bunny Boy stole my heart immediately. Super cute game, mc is kinda deranged at times which makes the whole experience a hundred times better. Overall it cleansed my soul so gg
I want to play this but im on android
i really like this !! usually dont play with a visible mc cuz it takes me out of the immersion (inclusivity-wise and all) but i really wanted to play this and im glad i did. currently still playing but i absolutely love aramis so far, his personality and style is perfect for me !! <33
Cant we just have them both 😭?
I love Kujo more than anything on this earth, he is my favorite boy FOREVER!!
as soon as i started playing i started wondering how i got so far down in my lonelyness that im starting to play dating sims..(ive downloaded 23 dating sims in the past 3 days and have played thru half of them)
update. im only at the first guy and i cant even look at him cuz of how embarrassed i feel (i would rather feel firsthand embarrassment than secondhand)
Girl I'm right there with you lol I've been playing so many dating sims past few weeks but, why feel embarrassment or shame over it? Many people enjoy these types of games, and there's nothing wrong with that!! You like these types of games, you play them!
I make them and I still feel embarrassed sometimes, lol! the only thing cringe is judging what harmless silly little games make people happy so yes, just enjoy!! or if this game isnt to your taste, i hope you find ones that are!! <3
já se fazem 2 anos, cadê o update??? 😭😭😭😭😭
Não há update, o jogo está terminado.
sim, eu sei, mas podia ter updates como de aniversario do jogo, halloween ou coisas assim, bobinhos, mas que sejam divertidos :)
I love them both so much that it hurts
It's a miracle......
Okay, but we NEED Aramis updates, like game anniversary commemorative event or something . I played both endings with him and even the bad one as good. The good one was perfect, damn!
Aramis was SO WELL WRITTEN like the "Awamis" and "Mr. Whale" from his students, it was SO CUTE, the fact he's a so dedicated teacher is so great about his character, I'm feeling so attached now that I already played it twice
ARAMIS HAS ME LITERALLY JNGFDJNFDGJDFJGNFDGFDKJNGKNJFDGNFD EEEAAAAHH
THIS GAME IS SO WEIRD im chilling and the second thing i know is a bunny man touching my feet. Not complaining though tbh ha ha~
SO CUTE i enjoyed both routes!
Both the boys are so cute! I really enjoyed this! ^^ I don't usually play games with a visible MC but their personality was great!
I come back to play this every now and then, it's perfect as it is but I can't help but wish it was longer <3 (the idea of a poly situation between the 3 of them has also given me a crazy amount of brain rot)
Very cute game. Not sure why I found it under the adult genre though, it's much too fluffy for that. o3o
aramis is quite flirty and lewd LOL
omg i just started this game and i already ended too! its such a good and heartwhelming game!
i just played the kujo route, now is the time for the pretty bunny!
Kujo's bad end(?) made me feel sick in the stomach :sob:, very well written!
Can you port it to APK, please? To play in android devices
I normally don't play games with visible Mcs because, generally, they sort have more rigid personalities of their own (plus its hard to be inclusive) which makes it harder to relate to ^^'
But I liked the lessons learned and how complex the choices are! I never thought that insisting on ordering takeout would send both Mc and Kujo spiraling jeez.
Aramis.... bro is fantastic. spectacular even. I loved how relatable the MC was and I still can't get over how Aramis is the textbook definition of my ideal partner.... anyways I really enjoyed playing this game and I look forward to checking out all of your other works!
Is there some kind of secret ending? The screen flashes at the end like its hinting at something but I can't figure out what it is if it is at all intentional.
um, i'm not sure how i got the "bad" end with aramis, i don't think i made any "bad" choices, but apparently i did? i'm just very confused i guess
edit-after reading the rest of the comments, i've discovered that complimenting the mega-hottie was apparently not the right thing to do? who knew? lol thankfully i saved every time there was a choice, so it's pretty easy to go back & not compliment him hehe
but as for the comments, you mentioned another game of yours that definitely lives up to the nsfw-ness this one supposedly had? if there's bois in that anywhere near as hot as aramis, i'm definitely there for it lol
Love them both so good Q,Q sadly no heavy NSFW but it's still good :D
Thank you -- my next game (releasing this week) is fully explicit! You should check it out :)
oh ok ty :D!<3 I will keep an eye out :3
I am genuinely so impressed with the writing, normally when ive got to choose between characters in a game of visual noval, or something like that, i have really easy time choosing. But i liked them both so much it was a really difficult decision.
wahhh i love this!!! so good! from the music to the sprites to the writing and everything in between! i usually have a "favorite" character but i adore both kujo and aramis <3 and the little hint of spice at the end is *chef's kiss*
the idea of the ARA has me very curious too 🧐 i have so many questions lol!!
nahhhhh cause tell me why the aramis bad ending actually happened to meee irl y-y i was soo butthurt.I love them both but i really enjoyed kujos character and the development so muchh
We've all been there :') and ahhh thank you, I'll pass on your compliments to kujos momma 🙏
The game is soooo cute! both Aramis and Kujo were great but Kujo definitely has my heart in a chokehold (^///^)
AHHHH WHY CAN'T WE HAVE BOTH *Slamming table while head is on it intensifies.* ADHGSVFIGDVASHGVFDGSF
Jokes aside, I love this game and I'm like, so attached to both the characters. (Though that's probably because I don't have a clear type irl.) I'm not a big fan of Tsunderes but Kujo melted my heart. Aramis is also like, husband material asf USGFOHSFH
Actually wait Kujo's also husband material because he knows how to cook damn
THIS IS WHY I'M ASKING FOR BOTH RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH *More daipan go brrrr.*
i am so biased to Aramis cause of his design but also cause of his gentle persona. I really love this game and the bg musics are a vibe to listen to. the voice actors really suit the character and of course the art was soo good too. Glad to find this game <3
AHH, I LOVE THIS GAME! I played this the whole day HAHA. I love the art, music, story, and characters. I relate to our MC soo much too. My favorite is definitely Aramis~ May we all find a partner that's like him 😭 Overall, thank you for the fun experience! 💜(Some parts made me cry but I love those parts too)
I really enjoyed this! Both routes were great; the voice acting for both leads was top notch. I also liked how the choices directed the game...? Like the different results seemed pretty subtle at face value – I was pretty fooled by my first playthrough because I thought I got everything right – but I loved the way they led to their respective endings; it all seemed very logical.
The endings were all fantastic by the way. I almost can't see anything bad about Amaris' "bad" end lol 😼
Amaris was so charming! Right from the get go! I love the game hehe, time for me to go looking at streaming sites at 3am
I'm so glad you enjoyed him! <3
Oh my god, why are the good ones so short? I need so much more. I abandoned my work and played all 4 endings. This was so perfect, from the amount of text to the art. The story had me reading every word, no skipping. I don't think I've kicked my feet and blushed this much in a long time.
ahhh!! thank you so much for your comment (and sorry about your work), it was a joy to make and a joy to give you all the blushes!!
Is there a way we can support more games like this being created? I looked around for ways to tip, etc but didn't see it.
I'd subscribe to a patreon in a heartbeat
Hi! Thank you so much for your interest, I have a ko-fi but currently no patreon! Anything does go toward more development though <3
Is there a walkthrough for this game or is it easy enough to get good endings with out ?
hi!! There's a walkthrough in the dev logs!!
thanks so much!
I adore this game so much i made an account just to leave this comment, its such a wholesome and cute game and i adore the story. On my first playthrough each i got Kujo's good ending and Aramis' "bad" ending.
Anyway im on my way to replay this now because it was so much fun!
Ahhh thank you so much, such an honour, thank you!
In hindsight, I regret making the endings like that but I hope you do get the good endings bcs I think they're the best <3!
No android for thisss??T-T
This game was just made in the jam time by a temporary team, so there are currently no plans to port it at present!
I do believe there are unofficial android ports out there, but I cannot verify that they work, or that they are safe/free of malware or malicious intent. Exercise caution and your own best judgment :)
aramis my beloved.......
Honestly... I was expecting more from the story after reading the list of warnings :/
"BDSM/D&S/Power Dynamics" ?? I was looking forward for it but the warning wasn't justified.
Parental neglect? Parental control? Where was it in the story??
Most of the warnings were far-fetched
Well, in this day/age, it’s better safe than sorry. Otherwise, you’re hounded/ridiculed for not having enough warnings. Also, there is some mention of each of those things, depending on the choices you make.
I do mention in the content warning that they are largely just mentions/hints rather than key plot points or such.
For some people, this could be a very unpleasant surprise or could turn them off the game, and I'd very much like to ensure they can enjoy the content according to their wishes.
Thank you for understanding! :)
I know this is a super late response but, as of now I only played Aramis' route and the reference to BDSM //spoiler// is in reference to the collar. the collar the MC wears is a ring of o, well I guess in this instance it's a ring of heart haha but anywho, it's like an "if you know you know" thing amongst people in BDSM/kink spaces to let others know they are submissive, which is why the reference to d/s dynamics pops up when Aramis is like "I thought I was supposed to be the pet" and the MC is happy because the way Aramis spoke fed into the role they had in mind that they were hoping Aramis would take (that being a dominant role). it's not super obvious if you're not informed but again it's one of those iykyk references, thus it being a reference and not outwardly shouting it in your face. and in response to those other things, again, it's hinted at in the story, not outwardly said per se. it's there if you pay attention (not that I'm trying to imply you weren't but just saying). I don't think the warnings are far-fetched at all, just the creator trying to cover their bases seeing as even the smallest hint/mention of certain themes can be triggering depending on the audience, and I appreciate the creator for putting these in that warning, even if they're not full outright saying these things. it was a nice, short, and sweet game jam that handled situations in a realistic way. in real-life scenarios, people aren't going to outright talk about their parental neglect to someone they just met, so I appreciate it was only referenced.
