This game.... this game hit me in a way I hadn't expected. I was laughing one second and in an existential crisis the next. I LOVE the way the game challenges current stuff and sensitive topics, honestly. Big claps for challenging some really common and annoying social habits some have that do more harm than good. And the mental health side of things, that was one thing I was worried about going in, having dealt with certain difficult mental illnesses and symptoms myself, but the conversations the characters can have are really good (unless you're just immoral and pick the most awful answers). Musicals are also one of my weaknesses, so you also won me over with that. My early 2000s emo heart is very happy right now.

This game was transgressive in ways I didn’t at all expect. I love the music and the art choices. It’s really a memorable game, with a lot of fun comedy and … relatable thoughts.

Is this gonna be on steam eventually? either way, 7 gigabytes is definitely a lot of bytes.

it wont be on steam, but it will be smaller in the future

good to know!

For me every time the download is about to finish it says Network Error. I have tried to re-download the game around 6 times now, and it takes about an hour each time, just to get stopped right before it finishes every time.

this sounds like an internet speed issue, it only takes me about 10 minutes to download, i just tried it and had my roommate try it as well. You might want to try using an ethernet cable, or going somewhere with stable internet to download. sorry the file is so big! 

Well I am using Ethernet, and all the other downloads I've done aren't as slow, which leads to my issue. I'm not sure why it isn't downloading.

somebody pop the pill

this is... very... yes...

Unfortunatly the windows download zip file is broken I got an error when trying to open/unzip it.

Same here, which sucks because I very much want to play this game because it looks INCREDIBLE

Hey sorry about this issue! I am unable to recreate the problem on my computers & the zip is working on my end, so it would be helpful to get more information.


This issue resolved problems with opening the zip on windows for many:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/15EzT-SLNZg7Z-jOQNb682dtv6VQgpUx6iQLpjiTIKY0/...

Can you e-mail me a screenshot of the error you are getting if this doesn't work? lenanw@lenanw.com 

if you scroll down and look at the comment by  Alehazar they were able to troubleshoot issues with the .zip on windows as well 

other person who had this problem said this was the solution lmk if it works. it works on my end so im not sure how to troubleshoot:

"My CLI version of 7z was the latest but my GUI one was still the 16.4. Updated and everything is now fine.

Install the latest (stable) version of 7zip and it should work fine:

https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900-x64.exe "

Hi again! First off, thank you for the speedy reply. I greatly appreciate it. I tried to use 7zip and all I got was this still.I'm not that tech savvy, so maybe I did something wrong, but this comes up no matter how many times I attempt to extract.

crazy how people in the comments are complaining saying this is child pornography when it's literally nonexistent cartoon characters with fully developed bodies, meant to symbolize actual real-life experiences in an artistic way. I mean, plenty of highschool movies do it too, they have adults play underage characters and show nudity, and people usually don't complain about those, why would a game be any different?
I am aware that some media with sexualized underage characters can be very harmful, like that one movie that sexualized actual children as a "critique" and failed miserably because of it. But there is nothing wrong with a videogame that makes fictional, adult characters play the role of a 14-year-old when they don't even look 14.
The people who are complaining about this game seem too stubborn to actually listen and try to understand the reasons the game is like this.

Oh btw haven't played it yet but decided to look at the comments beforehand and felt like voicing my opininon. Game seems promising tho!!

(+2)

Searched in the comments, couldn't find a single 1 complaining like you said lol. Please play the game before voicing your thoughts on it.

This awesome game was part of a 'pride bundle' a year or two ago and so got a lot of attention. It got some people mad and things escalated quickly in the comments. I have been a fan of this game since day one and love talking about it but equally I think it's a game that can push people's buttons and make them take to their keyboards angrily, which is what happened at the time (it was pretty shitty.)

It’s fucking amazing. I’m wordless. Please keep making stuff! <3 <3 <3

Easily the best game on the bundle by far. An absolutely unforgettable experience, and I admire how unafraid it is to challenge the new social norms, and how it manages to handle crucial topics in both a humorous and serious way. That can be a hard thing to balance, but it was done wonderfully. Best indie game I've played in god knows how long. I really hope to see more!

thank you!!!!!!!

Google Drive is preventing the download of the Windows game archive, due to some rate limitation.

Could you please consider uploading it to itch.io CDN instead?

(+1)

yes i've been having trouble uploading it to itch, but i will try again this week 

(+2)(-1)

Finally played it, and it was oh so great.

Mind, I'm not from USA so most of the references and cliches are lost for me because (usa bitchy voice) it' sooooooo americaunnn.

I mean, moody assholes doing mass shootings only happen there, so I was more than happy to get Dorian electrocuted as much as I can, as many times as I can.

great music, great style, sold my soul, OF COURSE, but missed opportunity to get a gay sex scene between Dorian and Chad. 

¡Looking forward for you next project! ¡Gracias!

Hi I just purchased the game but, it seems that my computer cannot download the full 7 gigabytes! I have a windows PC and downloaded 7-zip. What do I do?

Okay So I was able to FINALLY get the game extracted but, My PC Crashes on the first "loading pretend its the 90s screen" what should I do?

what are the specs of your computer? 

(+2)

I'm seriously addicted to the songs from the singer's in the game and the album Nightmare Trmotation Academy, the album of the singer Fellatia G and you're/"she is" so damn! freaking good, in particular "Dorian" and "I Kinda Wanna Die".

Can't get Dorian out of my head. What a banger!

Yep, your solution worked; only 1 warning: 32-bit header overflow?

Archive was otherwise succesfully extracted and the game starts up.

Thanks! Might wanna sticky this solution, if that's possible.

Llegué por la música.

Me quedé por el estilo. El mundo necesita más juegos como éste.

hello!! about how big is the file size for Mac?? I've been trying to download it for over an hour and its still downloading?? its at 7.3 GB rn-

the file size is around 7 GB so it should finish downloading  soon!!!! how fast it downloads usually has to do with ur internet speed/connection

thank you!!! a

Can you add the download to mega

Hey, I love your games but I cannot play this one.

Even when on the desktop and with 7zip it's failing to open the archive.

Hmm, I'm not sure what the solution is as I haven't seen this issue before. Have you tried it on multiple computers? Sorry T_T I want help you be able to play!

Yeah so I've tried to download the archive multiple time and on multiple computers but it's not extracting.

I've ran it against WinZip repair tool and DiskInternals Zip Repair as well but each time files were missing.

I don't think it's an issue with my computer but rather with the ZIP itself. If you can could you please try to upload a new one (pretty please)?

What does the error message on 7Zip say? I downloaded and extracted it the other day and it worked okay. :)

My 7Zip did give me a warning that looked like and error, but I let it finish extracting and it worked without any problems.

Update: I'm a dumb bitch. My CLI version of 7z was the latest but my GUI one was still the 16.4. Updated and everything is now fine.

Sat down and played this in one sitting, then I went to sleep and the songs played in my dreams over and over, totally engrossing. It's hard to put this experience into words, but it's horrifying, beautiful, disturbing and compelling all at once.

Thank you!! <3

Would love to play this game, but when I download it, it says the file is invalid and I'm unable to unzip it. Any ideas on that, or another way to download it? I'm on windows. 

Hey! Try this! Lmk if it works:

If the ZIP file will not open, move it to the desktop.

Then use 7-zip to open it. Select “extract” through 7-zip.

Download 7-zip here: https://www.7-zip.org/

This may just be one of the most fucked up games I've ever played but I love it. It's definitely unique, especially for a dating simulator.

(1 edit) (+2)

im still thinking about it and i cant wait to experience it again. 5/5 :D (also i would love an ending guide to see if i missed anything! i love these characters and it would be really cool to see them in something else.)
