IM GONNA START SOBBING OH MY GOD
IM GOING TO FUCKING CRY
Absolutely adorable; short but powerful and beautiful story.
Thank you for creating this game; everyone deserves to be loved <3
simple but so sweet and heartfelt, thank you for this <33
i like the game but to be honest, the voice acting ruined it
i don't know if it's the voice tones, the lack of sleepy voice (since they woke up midnight) but yeah it ruined it
i installed the game without the voice it was better
this was so nice!! it made me contemplate a bit, thanks for making this game! 🙆
I'm a straight person, but neither have i ever wanted to be in a sexual or romantic relationship and this just makes me feel bad for those who struggle in relationships like this. I pray that everyone who is like him gets a better partner who understands him. <333
made me cry
Ohhhhh, I love it! So cute! And the nod to Spiritfarer, yes!
my bf is demisexual and demiromantic, i played this on call with him and he was sobbing after it ended, 10/10 experience, we both loved it
12:40pm and I'm sobbing this was such cathartic short story absolutely love you for this.
Very sweet, thank you <3
As an demiromantic and ace, (Still straight tho) I see this as very sweet. <3
Thank you for playing, Stary! Glad you liked the game. I'm also demiromantic and ace. :D *High fives*
Aye awesome, I became ace at my preteen years due to having PTSD (or basically regretting reading those) from reading inappropriate stories on Wattpad. My former label was Aroace when I was around 10-11. :D
god i loveeeee this. awww
This is a very lovely short game about two partners communicating with one another, as well how it does show how Seo-jun is really safe and loved by Iris in this very short scene. As well how both voice actors did an amazing job during the performance
I really do adore the line of doing the bare minimum for relationship ( such as communicating, making sure the other is safe and comfortable) where it was those things that really shine through for Iris love for Seo-jun
I made an account just to say how DARE you make me cry at 11:56 at night. It is way too late for me to be crying this loud
this game was so cute . ahhhhhhhhhhh
IT'S SO SWEET. THANK YOU
Awwww, This is so sweet and nice. This game shows That Asexual people can still love, Just like Allosexual people do and not a lot of people realize that. Thank you for making people be aware of that!
Wow.. This game is truly amazing. Why i didn't find it sooner?
*sob*
I'm sat here absolutely bawling my eyes out, I've never seen my feelings as a demisexual represented so well in anything and everything he said was too real man.
I love this so so much.
Hi Espeon! Thank you so much for playing the game, I'm really glad that you love it! It means the world to hear that the game resonated with you, and I know what you mean when you feel not being represented, as an asexual myself. That's one of the reasons I made this game! 🥹💜
I'm sorry for the tears!!! 🫂
the game is really cute!!! but im slightly confused ;;; so he's ace but he and iris still had sex? im kind of confused ;;;;
Hi! Yes, he and Iris do have sex, though not all the time and only when he wants to as he prefers other forms of showing his love. Seo-jun identifies as demisexual (an orientation under the asexual umbrella), a sexual orientation where he only experiences sexual attraction after forming a strong emotional bond with someone. This is hinted at when he mentions his ex, when he says that he didn't feel comfortable doing it with her so early on in their relationship.
Asexuality does not mean abstinence. Just because an asexual person doesn't experience sexual attraction to someone does not mean they won't engage in sex. It varies from person to person though. Hope that clears up the confusion!
ohhh ok! i get it now! i didnt realise demisexual was under the ace umbrella! thanks for explaining!
Damn, second VN tonight that really got me emotionally. While I'm not ace myself, I have some very close friends that are, and this made me think both of them, and how much doing what seems like the bare minimum to you can mean the world to your partner. Thank you so much for sharing this. This is a true work of art!
This was super cute <3
Thank you, Kimmi! <3
I made an account just to comment because this game made my big ace heart explode loved it! :)
Seo-jun is so cute, especially his grinning sprite, and I'm glad he's happy with Iris! I like the music a lot too.
Now, that was a sweet tale, it really made me smile to myself. I hope we can see more of those two in the future, as the comments hint at.
Aaaaaaafdaef, such an adorable game!! I'm asexual myself, and this is just, so fricking cute. Made me cry, but like, happy tears, anyhow, thanks for making this. It makes me feel happy <3
It’s such a cute game!!! I really liked it, made me emotional
Ahhh, thank you! :D <3
I loved this vn, wish it were a bit longer
Thank you for playing! As for the length, that was due to the jam restrictions. HOWEVER! I definitely plan on making more stories featuring these two lovebirds in the future, and those should be longer than this game. :)
this is so precious... i love it so so much
I'm glad! :D Thank you so much for playing! 💕💕
Playing this short little game has touched my lil ace heart so SO much-
Glad to see other people here enjoying it to, ACE GANG RISE UP!!!
ACE GANG RISE UP! 🖤🤍💜
A very sweet conversation and a nice exploration of a relationship dynamic.
I'm ace! This game means a lot to me :)
Aces unite! *High five* I'm really glad you enjoyed the game and that it means a lot you! :D <3
that was cute... I'm Asexual myself and I know it's okay.
But still, it's nice to find games like this where there's no sexual attraction, hehehe
Thanks for playing! It was very nice and sincere ❤️
So cuuutteeeee! As an aspec person I've so felt like Seo-jun before. Great little game
I'm really glad you liked it and that you connected with Seo-jun. Thank you so much for playing! <3
good game, makes for a a BEAUTIFUL LETSPLAY THAT IMMERSED ME VERY MUSH INTO the love of Seo-Jun. thank you for sharing his story, he is in my heart and i won't be forgetting him for a long time. I like the piano music it is very impactful to the story and I hope you make more beautiful lovely stories :3 thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game. I hope Seo-jun stays rent free in your head for a long time. Lord knows he's been in mine. 🤣
i don’t personally consider myself ace, but still being a part of the queer community in other ways, i believe we all have a due diligence to learn more about our ace peers and listen to their experiences from a place of understanding, love, and acceptance so we can better support that facet of our community. like seo-jun says, not everyone gets it, but worse than that is that not everyone wants to get it, and that needs to change.
and this game is one of two that have personally taught me so much more about asexuality than i’ve ever stumbled upon before, and i am incredibly grateful that there are stories like this being shared for people like myself to play, listen to, and fully embrace with love and celebration.
it breaks my heart, to hear seo-jun’s dating history and experiences with sex being used as an expectance in his past relationships, and how his asexuality was deemed something broken that needed fixing, or that it otherwise somehow made seo-jun a boyfriend who didn’t love his partner. there's a human experience in there that i think is inherently relatable to many, but the added layer of his asexuality and how that must influence the internal experience of a situation like that makes for an incredibly emotional story and deeply sentimental understanding of that type of experience through seo-jun’s vulnerability.
my favourite line was iris, when she said that she was glad she could help seo-jun realize and accept that he’s normal. because he is, full stop. there is nothing abnormal or immoral or otherwise wrong about asexuality in any degree or form it may take in an individuals life, and there was something profoundly touching about iris explicitly communicating to her husband exactly that, that their relationship and her husband as an individual himself are both normal, just as much as anybody else they may know or meet.
wonderfully emotional experience from top to bottom, thank you for telling this story and allowing us to share in it with you. 🖤🤍💜🫂
This was such a sweet story, with a wonderful message! I think that the emotions are conveyed really well, and I love how open and communicative Seo-jun and Iris are with one another. There are so many little details, not just during the conversation itself, but also during their interactions before and after, that convey how considerate they are of each other.
The art is absolutely lovely, and there is a wonderful variety in Seo-jun's expressions! And the GUI is very clean and looks wonderful!
