Tattoos and Tulips

HELPPP I couldnt finish the game because of the gorgeous BGM. I has been my fav bgm to listen while studying <333

This game is really nice, I find Chrys unbearable at times, but we're different people with different experiences, so I get it. Anyway, very cute, very lovely, makes me happy, good game.

Hey I was wondering when your game is coming to steam? and would it have achieves. I haven't finished the game fully but I would love too!

This is so cute! I haven't played it fully yet, but I love it. I wanted to ask if anyone knows if the soundtrack is anywhere to download, because I love listening to this kind of music while I'm drawing. if I can't download it then its fine, I do have a playlist lol. Anyway, again, love the game!!

I am so glad I finally got time to play this game! Everything about this was so well done. The art, voice acting, GUI, music selection, EVERYTHING I loved! Also the characters were so intruiging and Shay became my favorite right off the bat! Lovely work and what a well written story, definitely everyone needs to check this out if they want a good story with relatable characters and a game with a ton of love put into it!

I may be terrible with writing long reviews, but let me tell you - this game is BEAUTIFUL and worth your time. Every character has virtues and flaws, and the conflict was executed in a very real and natural way. All the CGs were lovely, and the voice actors did an amazing job. The story pacing was neither too long nor too short, and everything just turned out great. Sincerely, this really hits super close to home with realism on some lines, and I cannot recommend it enough. I am truly in love with every member of the cast, and I am so happy to have witnessed everyone reach their happy ending <3

I already had the pleasure of playing the demo but I finally found a moment to dive into the whole story, too. And what a charming experience it was. 💕

The whole cast was fun and lovely (partially thanks to excellent voice acting) but Chrys was hands down my favorite. As a fellow over-thinker, his fears and motivations really spoke to me and I feel like I could've said some of his lines myself. (right down to his opinions on noisy children lol) (he's also just the biggest cutie, I'm not sorry) And I think you did a great job showing him work through his fears and slowly accept his feelings for Shay. (though I wish we learned a bit more about Chrys's past; there were hints here and there but nothing was said explicitly so I can only assume what might have happened)

I liked that you took the time to slowly progress Chrys and Shay's relationship over the course of the story and that you didn't stop at them getting together but actually showed them interacting as a couple. (and dealing with problems, too, though not in the most skillful way at first) (but I think the little imperfections make their relationship more realistic so props for that 👌)

Also, let me just say that the art was beautiful and the GUI was so well-made (I really loved how the text fit neatly within the lines in the textbox, as if it was taken straight out of a notebook). It was a pleasure to play through. Great job! 💕

Ok so I finished this game a few days ago and wanted to organize my thoughts. First of all this game is incredibly high quality (and underrated!!) and everything from the GUI to the voice acting elevated the experience for me. I loved all of the characters, specifically Bea because she is such a homie and of course Shay and Chrys were very sweet throughout the game.

I love vns with drama and it was executed very well and relatably in this story. I was very much invested all the way to the end knowing both characters had baggage and it ended up working out in the end. I also think it's cute how Shay looks like he'd be dark and moody but it's the other way around and actually he's the ray of sunshine LOL. Grandma is also an unspoken MVP of this story and I very much enjoyed her relationship with Chrys, it's some of the most genuine stuff I've read in a vn.

Honestly I really enjoyed it, and it did not feel like 60,000 words because of how well the story was structured. Like it didn't feel like unnecessary filler or anything. As others have said I really look forward to the next project y'all decide to work on!!

I enjoyed this game a lot! I loved the art and characters, especially the side ones (Granny and Bea are my favorites), and the writing is especially good. Even when Chrys was unreasonably upset for something blown out of proportion, you could still understand why he felt that way, which is a testament to the quality of the writing. Also, all the VAs did a fantastic job!

Shay is such a sweet guy--I liked that he stayed friends with Eli because that's something you don't see a lot of in romantic stories but can be true to life. Like Chrys, I thought for a while that he was just too perfect, but nice guys don't have to be boring, and I liked his characterisation. Overall, great game!

This was EXCELLENT! The entire project was very highly polished, from the writing, to the art (both CGs and backgrounds), to the UI, to the voice acting.

I really appreciated how grounded the story was and the care put into creating a well-rounded cast of characters. Rather than feeling exclusively like Chrys' love story, it felt like a story that was more about Chrys' growth and his process of healing. We see him grow closer to his friends, and we see his relationship with his grandma evolve. He even has a good heart-to-heart with Shay's ex, which was one of my favorite moments in the game; it really concluded Chrys' arc in a very satisfying way, as he is finally able to "close the door" with an "ex" in a mature and thoughtful way (even if it wasn't "his" ex). The story is a bit of a slow burn, but rightfully so - the process of healing is slow, and seeing Chrys warm up over the course of the story was very heartwarming to watch. When Shay and Chrys got together, it felt like a triumph for Chrys as a person because he finally felt comfortable being vulnerable/trusting again.

I loved both of the leads! Chrys was an adorable spitfire, with his own host of relatable insecurities and anxieties. Shay was...basically the perfect romantic lead? He was continuously understanding, sympathetic, and conscious of Chrys' needs. While it was clear that he was interested in Chrys, it never felt like he trespassed on Chrys' boundaries. (Also, not going to lie, Shay is very attractive.)

While there is drama in the storyline, it never feels dramatic or overly manufactured. Chrys' reactions make a lot of sense considering his experiences and his wariness around people, and throughout I only felt empathy for all sides involved, as they try to navigate a slightly rocky relationship. I especially liked the final climax, as I understood both sides: Shay's desire to have closure with his ex, and Chrys' understable anxiety about the possible infidelity.

Overall, I think that this was a really cozy, heartwarming love story that was well-conceived and perfectly executed. As I mentioned before, the art is absolutely gorgeous (and I loved the chibi CGs as well)! The sketchbook UI was adorable and perfectly suited the theme. And all of the voice actors did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life.

Really looking forward to what M2B is cooking up next ;) 

Oh my gosh

❤🌹❤

I have not played the game yet, but the art looks beautiful. Makes me realize I have a lot to improve in when it comes to art lmao. (I'm attempting making a visual Novel myself for the first time, and am creating the art for it too.)

Hey! I finally finished the game!

So, I have to say the obvious: the art was magnficient, from sprites, to backgrounds, including CGs. The voice actors were excellent (the talk Shay and Chrys have at the end of the game, under the rain... geez!).

But being more of a writer than anything else, I have to say I was blown away by the writing, as I have a better grasp at the tools used to convey the story: I thought it was a bit slow-paced at first, but oh god: this is what this game needed, and I realised that only when I was engaged later in the storyline.

I adored how Chrys's anxiety was depicted. It felt grounded and realistic. I can't go into too much detail, since it's spoilers territory, but the weight of his past experience really showed through the game and he really was a fleshed out character. Shay was a very great character too, and I love how he became more and more attractive as he became less and less perfect.

This game is about something simple: love and relationships. Simple, you said? It really explores what it means to be in a romantic relationship, and it really did it magnificently. I especially loved the final discussion between Eli and Chrys. It was a really good one, definitely my favourite scene in the whole VN, and also one of my favourites scenes of all time in all the VNs I've played. The romance scenes were also extremely cute (the first kiss... the rain scene... the final scene... aaaaah!!!!). I also loved the dynamics in the friends' group: dating sims rarely focus on how cool having friends is, so it was very refreshing.

Long story short... I loved it, and that's saying the least. It really was an AMAZING game, and I definitely think people should check it out!!

Congrats to all the team, it was really amazing! But now guys, I'd like to reach out: if someday, you consider translating the game into other languages (which would be quite a lot of work, I imagine, haha!), and consider French as an option, don't hesitate to hit me up, I'd love to help: I really think more people should play this game, it really conveys great and healthy messages on relationships. But anyway, I'm looking forward to your next game!

The art is beautiful and the characters are so adorable and sweet. I think, I just found a diamond<3
P.S. Died of cuteness

super adorable game! I loved the demo, the backgrounds are so cute (and bees everywhere!) amazing job, looking forward to following this project <3

I played through the demo, it was cute and fun! (though poor Chrys has just the worst luck ever, haha)

The art is gorgeous, I loved the variety of outfits and the CGs. And props for the flowery theme you've got going, I hope you keep it up throughout the game. ^^

Good job! 💕

Perfect feel good game to play when you are going through a rough time. It has an uplifting story with a botanic array of humor. I can not wait for the full version to release!

Incredible art work by VeryFatCat! Looking forward to their involvement in future projects (:
