It’s been a while since something I read made me Actively ‘LOL’ - if not downright Cackle. (Looking at YOU, ‘catch a flash of calves/HOT DAMN’ line 😂🤣)
I adore Alastronia and Sloane - and if a possible Poly is down the line. Yum. Yuuuum. The MC is a Glorious Idiot who has shocking depth when given the chance and I love making them Trash. lol Also, thank you from the Bottom of my heart for having a ‘skin is too dark to show a blush’ descriptor. Sadly rare even in 2024. 🙃🫶🏾
I like the story so much and will be on the look out for the future updates. There whole lot of bugs throughout tho. I'll try to make screenshots sometime later
Unfortunately, there are several errors and coding stuffs that popped up throughout the playthrough. I was able to ignore most of them in my primary playthrough, but this one literally stops the story.
"What did I tell you about cursing? Pretend for one fucking minute that I am your mother and you don't curse in front of me! Also, how the fuck did you find out about that?" Full blown witch cackles. I love Mother.
i adored this read! i found the banter so charming, and the comedy is so well-placed. the moments of sadness, was often alleviated by a funny gag that had me grinning widely. i ADORE all the characters. i wonder where it is quinn is spending their money...
i think you wrote the protagonist wonderfully. i understand being sheltered, and the feeling of being "out-of-your-depth" is so true to life. T_T) i may have bonded with this protagonist more than i should've. i, fortunately, know where money comes from; however, the thought of "i don't know how to do this thing everyone knows how to do" hit close to home. also, i'm the youngest of four, so.
all of the lore regarding the protag's family, while plentiful, hadn't overwhelmed me, much to my surprise? they made me giggle and smile because, a lot of the time, they were the most absurd things. but i love how it's rooted in serious tones. there's a dark history.
i truly, truly enjoyed your writing. i can't wait to see what awaits our noble next! (i wanted to share my favorite character, but i hold all of them so fondly, LOL. maybe quinn? <3 their jests have stolen my heart.)
Thank you so much for this comment! We greatly appreciate it. It's lovely to know that we hit the mark, both with balancing the humor and the growing pains of emerging adulthood. We were aware that weren't leaving much room for customization of the MC, so we are very glad that you were still able to connect with them so much. I really cannot overstate how thrilled I am that you said so -- I believe that being "out-of-your-depth" is such a common experience that's hard to talk about for fear of being seen as "stupid." We don't know anything until we are taught.
Unfortunately, the save function in Harlowe doesn't work very well. I temporarily removed it because it was changing the player's name and pronouns when a save was loaded. I'm not really sure why. It's gone until I can figure out how to implement in a way that is functional.
Not sure if "Any individual not likely..." chooses randomly between the other options for you. I thought it would make the MC capable of interacting romantically with any gender.
I noticed an error where if i loaded a save that it would reset all my information to the basic info (Cassidy Kaylock, neutral opinions, etc) A still switched genders every once in a while, however it seems to be less frequent for me than others. Though it may be from me not getting as far as them. Other than these issues and a couple of problems loading it was enjoyable. keep up the good work!
Thanks for the heads-up. That's what happens when I try staying up late to code it while I'm sick, haha. I've fixed the coding errors and reuploaded the file. I'll comb through it for the pronoun errors -- Maudine doesn't code, so she just uses whatever pronoun she wants and I fix it afterwards LOL. I missed more than usual this go-around.
I love that I can just terrorize everyone with my juggling. Maybe they should just put me in the throne room with some balls and hope that kills the king.
And oof, yeah, I see what you mean. I will try and see what I can do to fix that.
Edit: I've added an option in Settings that should make it easier to read. It doesn't quite work with the save function (for some reason, any variables changed in Settings are reset anytime a saved game is loaded), but it gets rid of the floating box and moves everything down to the bottom or the page to that it's actually readable.

Thank you for your kind words! Maudine wrote that line, so she is gonna be especially pleased!
"Gurgle gurgle? Thats the sound of beer!" If I wasn't sure about romancing Quinn before I am now

Thank you so much! We're excited to share the next chapter when it's ready :)
Stupid sexy bandit...

Thanks. It's fixed now.
IJM SO EXCITED FOR PART 5555
DUDE SAME
"What did I tell you about cursing? Pretend for one fucking minute that I am your mother and you don't curse in front of me! Also, how the fuck did you find out about that?" Full blown witch cackles. I love Mother.
She's definitely a "do as I say, not as I do" kind of mom.
i loved how you wrote the MC and my fave currently is quinn!! the banter with him is so good.
LOL, yeah. Quinn has definitely ended up as the favorite by far among readers. We love them too!
i absolutely love the south asian rep like <3
Thank you!

This is how I know fandom life has forever changed me. 💀
Game: You have gained the trait “determined”.
My brain almost instantly: *HOPES AND DREAMS INTENSIFIES* YOU ARE FILLED WITH DETERMINATION-
Anyway. I loved this update. I’m so stuck between romancing Sloan or Al and I haven’t yet figured out how to save. So idk what to do. T^T
Haha! I love Undertale!

Not sure if "Any individual not likely..." chooses randomly between the other options for you. I thought it would make the MC capable of interacting romantically with any gender.
You would be correct! I will check that out, because it should make your MC bi/pan.
Edit: it's fixed! Thanks for the catch.
ARGH!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
also there are some errors where a purple bar of code appears, like on sloan's character page.
Thanks for letting us know. I'm working on getting better at coding, but it's a slow process lol.
it's OK!!!!!! THE GAME is GREAT!!!! ALASTRIONA and I will have a SPRING WEDDING!!!!!!!
I'm sure she would enjoy that.
I noticed an error where if i loaded a save that it would reset all my information to the basic info (Cassidy Kaylock, neutral opinions, etc) A still switched genders every once in a while, however it seems to be less frequent for me than others. Though it may be from me not getting as far as them.
Other than these issues and a couple of problems loading it was enjoyable. keep up the good work!
I tried to go about fixing this -- can you tell me more about what happens? Thanks.
Other than the A switching gender like, every other paragraph, I also caught this error.
But yeah. I was determined to stay loyal to Sloan but alas, A has charmed me to his side. Eagerly waiting for the next update!
Update was fun! Getting a lot of errors though, causing A's gender to flip, amongst others. Here is one example (without the gender flip)
Thanks for the heads-up. That's what happens when I try staying up late to code it while I'm sick, haha. I've fixed the coding errors and reuploaded the file. I'll comb through it for the pronoun errors -- Maudine doesn't code, so she just uses whatever pronoun she wants and I fix it afterwards LOL. I missed more than usual this go-around.
I laughed so much reading this. Thank the tumblr God's for it somehow showing up in my feed. I really enjoyed it.
IM SO NOT NORMAL ABOUT THIS GAME AND QUINN ESPECIALLY. I NEED THEM AND THEIR JESTER HAT RIGHT NOW!!!!!(great game<3)
Quinn always appreciates a fan LOL. They will be keeping their jester hat though. You'll have to get your own.
FVJGBJHBJHVYJAHHHHHH GYUGUYVHTCGRCTRD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!! PERFECT FOR MY INSANITY
This is such a fun demo, and i love annoying Sloan so much! im so excited to see the full game
Thanks. I'll take a look whenever I get the chance.
Love it, mc.is cray cray aff and love annoying sloan so much 🤣.
"Crazy" is the MC's middle name. One of them, anyway. Probably.
Can you fix th mobile layout it kinda blocks the words and gets kinda hard to read
If you select Settings, you should be able to switch device from Desktop to Mobile. That should prevent the menu from blocking the words.
Thanks king
I love that I can just terrorize everyone with my juggling. Maybe they should just put me in the throne room with some balls and hope that kills the king.
Jesus of Beerzareth
I'm dying
Love it! Although the mobile ui is kind of wonky
Thank you!
And oof, yeah, I see what you mean. I will try and see what I can do to fix that.

Thanks for the feedback!
wow I love this so much !
OOOOOHHHH BOYYYYY. It's gotten even better!!!
You threw the pot out the window, didn't you?
HOW DO I THROW THE POT OUT OF THE WINDOW
You have to try and fail at something inadvisable. There are some randomized pass/fail scenes. This is one of them. :)
what do i have to fail at
i want to throw the pot out of the window
Sloan made me want to punch them within the first 20 seconds of meeting them, so of course I’ve gotta romance them now 😒
LOL! Sloan has a strong personality for sure. We hope you enjoy discovering a softer side to them!
This is really good!! I just love Quinn!
Thanks! I glad you love Quinn -- we love writing them <3
Fun so far!
Thanks!
Fun so fart
