UGHH I LOVE THIS MAN I'M SO SAD HE'S NOT REALLL
MEJ DEUS ESSE JOGO É SIMPLESMENTE PERFEITO EU ESTOU APAIXONADO POR ESSE JOGO. E SIMPLESMENTE A MELHOR PARTE É QUE O MICAH E MC TEM A MESMA DINÂMICA QUE EU E MEU NAMORADO, EU NÃO PUDE DEIXAR DE TER O MAIS COMPLETO GAY PANIC ENQUANTO JOGAVA!!!! 10/10 MELHOR VISUAL NOVEL QUE EU JA JOGUEI
Concordo contigo, mana.
make it por-- perfect I said perfect
this was so cute my heart 😭❤️
also they had my name in the name options and I forgot I picked it so when Micah said my name I literally jumped out my seat
I LOVE MICAH SOOOOOOO MUCH
idk why but the linux ver doesn't open with me, i tried so many times
If you're getting "Permission denied" errors, try running "chmod +x /thepathto/Error143.sh", or if you're not using the terminal, right click the file > properties > permissions > allow executing file as program.
However, it's likely you'll get python module errors like "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'future')".
Either the game doesn't come with all the necessary libraries, or it does but for whatever reason can't find them.
It was easier for me to just import the game into Lutris and running the game with wine.
I don't know if this is an issue with linux versions of renpy games in general, or if it's specific to this game.
oH THANKS! but actually, i don't get either of those when i click on the .sh file (usually most games open and a .text file appears) but this one whenever i click run, it doesn't do anything, no errors, no warnings, just nothing :( tho Thanks again 4 ur help! <33
hey! I loved the game so much that I bought the DLC except it's not downloading for some reason & I followed the instructions (I use a Mac) is there something that I'm missing?
J'aime tellement ce jeu que je veux y rejouer, mais le début a disparu, comment recommencer réellement s'il vous plait ?
I love this game so much that I want to play it again, but the start has disappeared, how can I really start again please? (translate by google)
Was the "you, me, gas station. what are we getting?" a gas station sushi reference? please tell me it is.
I'm in love with a fictional character agajwhqjyshwtswhyqjaysjwagwhhaha💓💓
i love him...
This game is so cute and unique! Unlike other dating sims, I actually felt myself getting flustered at time and felt really connected in a way to Micah (not in a weir delusional way), but I actually felt like I was in a slow burn relationship with him. And I litteraly SCREAMED when he showed up irl!! Overall the game is a 10/10 hope to see where the story goes next! <3
Hi! Will be possible to play soon Dlc on Android?
I really wish I had more time with Micah!! 10/10 though, it was short but so sweet
I loved the annoying yet endearing banter with Micah. His character design was a dream. The voice acting too was so perfect! Never played a VN with that level of voice acting tbh, it was the cherry on top!
I can see myself replaying in the future, thanks so much for this!
Same same
I BEG YOU TO ADD SHARON AS AN NAME OPTION PLEEEAAASEEEEEEEEEEEE
Amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo amo AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ESTE JUEGO JAJAJAA
Me muero de ganas de que traduzcan el dia 5 al español para descargarlo y jugarlo con todo gusto HDKJFSHKDF Cuando dijo mi nombre senti como se me derretia el cuerpo y la cara se me ponia roja JAJAJAJ El hecho de que este juego este tan bien pensado me hace querer trabajar para darle todo mi dinero al creador/a de este HERMOSO JUEGO, nunca habia jugado un juego tan hermoso como este, es casi como Mystic Messenger pero mejorado al 100% JSAKDHJSFD. Micah vendria siendo como una version mejorada de Seven y realmente quede enamoradisima klasjdkl, sinceramente, sentí cosas de mujer
Por si alguien está viendo esto y aún tiene dudas de descargarlo, déjenme decirles que descarguenlo D1, no solo porque yo lo digo sino por las 1,000 recomendaciones que hay en internet.
YALL NEED TO ADD "JADE" AS THE OPTION. (my name :3)
gonna play it when im alone in the house B)
loved it loved it LOVED IT!! I WAS SO SHOCKED WHEN HE SAID MY NAME LIKE MY HEART JUMPED OUT OF MY CHEST AND WENT INTO ORBIT!! MY NAMES NEVER SOUNDED SO ANGELIC BEFORE!! PLEASE PLEASE!! I BEG ON MY HANDS AND KNEES IF THERE ARE ANYMORE GAMES LIKE THIS DON'T GATE KEEP THEM FROM ME (cus I will find you) AND PLEASE IF YOU EVER WANT TO MAKE A NEW VISAL NOVEL I BEG OF THY MAKE ONES NOVEL AS EMASCULATE AS EVER AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASSSEEE MAKE IT SAY NAMES !! (I have no doubt that you will) black nonchalant queen out ;^ P.S loved the singing btw it was a very unique touch
i haven’t played this (yet) but from what i can see from the preview pics this seems to be a game where u can chat and video call the character ur talking to. well anyways i commented to tell u that there’s a game called “A Date with Death” that’s similar to this in the aspect of the chat room and stuff. it’s just that instead of hacker rivals in A Date with Death u make a bet with a silly grim reaper that if he can get ur soul in a week he can keep it and reap ur soul! if he doesn’t manage to get it you can keep it and live. it’s a pretty cute and funny game! i definitely recommend :3
ALSO it’s free and u can find it on here or steam!
Ive already played itttt I got the bad ending tho is I might get back to it
oh u should probably play a game thats not so popular, its named KLEIN or something similar, i also recommend "Where winter crows go", its such a good game and its not so long
ive seen someone play both and they were interesting but didn't really get my attention
There's a game called "SeekL" which is very simmilar to this one!! That game actually made me obsessed with this kind of stuff. There's also "Killer Chat" where instead of hackers you got killers (don't know if you're into that but I am :^...) but the game really makes you feel like your talking with someone real and not playing a game!! Both are free and can be found on here. I really recommend checking them out !! :3 (sorry for any gammar mistakes, english is not my firts language ;-;)
I played this a few months back on steam and it was great !
really crazy that you got the other j names other than JAMIE. nonetheless really like the game
I love this game, just like to point out that there is another error (ha) on mac where you get "The application "ERROR143" cannot be opened".
However I also figured out the solution: Instead of using the inbuilt Archive utilities to unzip the .zip file, right click the .zip file and unzip with the Unarchiver. You'll probably get the “the developer cannot be verified.” error but you have instructions for that already in the walkthrough doc, and woo, you can finally play on mac.
I literally love you, thank youuuuu
I NEED TO FIND MORE GAMES LIKE THIS ITS AMAZING
I loved it, I love Micah so much.
I got this game (and DLC on Steam after playing, it was just too good), it was a great game. I'm new to itch games but have a feeling this game probably inspired many other games trying to be as great as it is.
