A well-written vn with a compelling atmosphere and characters. It may seem boring at first with the introduction with its seemingly unneeded dialogue and descriptions that don't feel related to the main plot but it is this very thing that makes the vn so well done. The world building is top tier It makes you feel as if you're not playing a simple visual novel but reading an actual full-length book written by a professional author. Also, the sound design was great to. It absolutely nailed the atmosphere the story required.
I know this has probably been said but I really hope for a Russell route. He's legit a shockingly close expy of the first guy I crushed on and that's getting me all kinds of twisted up.
Can I ask why xou guys decided to make all three boys bottoms? (I can only assume Nate is the same, as I am in no way interested in playing his route)
When I first found out that Carlos is a bottom, I was pretty disappointed, but I told myself “at least I can still rely on Bryan for all of my submissive desires”, but lo and behold, another bottom 😥
Is this a personal preference? Because it honestly makes no sense to my why xou wouldn’t leave at least one top (who would be willing to bottom on occasions)
A third of the reason why I read VNs is for sexual content, and when the MC tops, I usually just skip through as it’s not something I enjoy. Please tell me there will be more moments for Ben to bottom? 😟
it would be extremely hilarious and as someone who's played Nate's content it's unironically extremely likely he's the sole character who's an exclusive top
From what I can see Carlos would be the bottom, Bryan's the switch and Nate's the top
I really do suggest trying out Nate's stuff because the entire theme of the game is the masks people put up and his was seemingly so effective it made people not want anything to do with him which I get but his content honestly shines a lot for the theme and might show it the best
Honestly I'm pretty sure Nate's the top because there's a shocking amount going on there. Or maybe switch top lean? (I say because of his existing saucy CG)
Just don't write Nate off quite yet, he wears a mask like everyone else does.
So I did end up giving his route a try, and honestly? I still don’t like him 😅 I mean, sure, he isn’t as insufferable as I had initially thought, but the fact he’s possibly lying about who he is makes me like him even less
I’ll still follow his path, but unless his reasons have meaningful validity, I doubt he’ll become someone I’d like
I guess I don't quite get it because they all are lying about who they are, and that's a big part of the story. I think I get it with Nate being the most obvious in not being (for lack of a better term) genuine.
[Spoilers]
Ben-Holds most of his thoughts in even when it's actually destroying his life.
Karina-Doesn't let anyone really get to know her and lashes out to avoid real intimacy.
Chris-Wraps so much of his identity into 'being a mentor' because he doesn't think anyone likes who he really is.
Brian-Uses the sex obsessed muscle head facade to avoid being hurt by a genuine relationship.
Carlos-Closeted for a little over half his route. Refuses help for a myriad of reasons in a myriad of ways.
Zach-Has probably looped this semester enough times to be totally shut out of his own life.
Russell-Claims he refuses to be someone else's punching bag anymore, but still has a martyr complex he hides behind snark and being flippant.
Nate-Takes on the 'gay stereotype' to reject what he was raised to be.
Wow, xou really nailed all of the characters spot on! 😁
And yeah, I can look past people covering up or trying to hide parts of themselves, but actively lying about who they are is even more of a turn off than flamboyant guys, at least for me.
Just finished the build update and this has to be one of the most emotional part of the vn i have ever read. I was crying at end and i had to take a moment to process everything. But i still enjoyed the build and can't wait for the continue of the next part.
Unfortunately they are not yet done, Bryan route ends on act 3, Carlos route will probably end on act 3 and Nate will be the next one and once his done (ends on act 3) the devs can focus on act 4.

10/10
Can't wait to see the full thing finished.
I know this has probably been said but I really hope for a Russell route. He's legit a shockingly close expy of the first guy I crushed on and that's getting me all kinds of twisted up.
[SPOILERS] I guess?

the real twist would be there is an exclusive top but you refuse to play his route
jk but you never know....
Wouldn’t that be aweful? 😂
it would be extremely hilarious and as someone who's played Nate's content it's unironically extremely likely he's the sole character who's an exclusive top
Oh noooo 😬 the only character I don’t like is a top… Damn 😐
Why are the masculine men bottoms and the femanine one a top 😅 I sure do hope that Carlos turns out to be switch
From what I can see Carlos would be the bottom, Bryan's the switch and Nate's the top
I really do suggest trying out Nate's stuff because the entire theme of the game is the masks people put up and his was seemingly so effective it made people not want anything to do with him which I get but his content honestly shines a lot for the theme and might show it the best
nooo, bryans a bottom..?
He prefers to bottom but is willing to top 😟
he's a switch
He dicks the hell out of the mc regularly, it would be disingenuous to call him a bottom.
womp womp
Honestly I'm pretty sure Nate's the top because there's a shocking amount going on there. Or maybe switch top lean? (I say because of his existing saucy CG)

So, is Nate a top ? I need to know as well XD
I can’t get enough of Bryan’s blushing grin~! ☺️

So,anyone can tell me which route is done now?plz

This game is a 10/10, I really love it a lot
70+ hours in the game by the way
I'm obsessed with this for no reason, maybe because I was like the main character once, but that's another story
I recommend it
