This is so cute!!!!! I love this!!!! LOL
Really enjoyed it! I was both surprised and a bit disappointed when the demo ended so unexpectedly—just when I was getting fully immersed. Can’t wait to play the full version ASAP!
Thank you so much for enjoying my game! I’m really glad that you’re looking forward to the rest of the story, even though the English translation might have made it a bit challenging to play.
There were so many things I wanted to develop, so I feel a bit sad that I couldn’t complete it all... I’m currently working on the English translation and will continue to add to the story and polish it little by little. Thank you!
This is really cool!! I played a bit and I really like the concept and art and everything! Unfortunately I'm not that good at reading Korean so I excitedly await the English translation to finish playing >:)
Also I'm stupid, there was already an English translation T-T I played it and had a lot of fun!
Thanks for playing my game! I thought that english will be default language, apparently it didn't work... This is my first Renpy game, maybe I'm missing something. I'll check as I add more translations!
Yeahh it defaults to Korean and I had to change it to English :,)
I updated language select on first game launch... Thanks for reporting issue! 😊
