In this game you follow the love story of two girls, and the choices you make deeply matter, I love how this game has so many options that affect the future, I am in love with the amazing art along with the calm music. I love how much it touches my emotions, and how as cute and calm it is, its also heartbreaking and sad in some moments, I like how the options can greatly change the story with just the slightest change you can end up with a new ending and I absolutely love how in depth it is, I like how the game also is realistic in some ways talking about life love emotions music etc and how it focuses on both the good and bad but mainly I like how deep the characters love is and how much their love is shown,this game is truly amazing and the only thing I would want from it is even more content from earlier in their life (teen years) and something that says how many endings you can have and how many you got ( like in settings something that says 2/4 endings or smth)Love this game sm
i played missed messages and loved it, that game hit me hard and i didn’t know if i was emotionally prepared for another game by her. So about a month later today, i finally had the courage and played the game. at the start it felt lacking, but then i played it again and tried for a different ending. it hit me hard, and then i kept playing, just getting every ending. at the end i chose to go back to the ending i got my second run, and i was absolutely destroyed. i cannot describe the feelings and just everything this game gave me. this game is incredible; it’s a soul crusher, the art is great, the music really grew on me, and it’s just a great story. i cannot recommend this game enough, the fact that this game is only 3$ is criminal.
I loved the story and all the endings. It’s so well done and pretty! Exactly my kind of style. But I don’t think this is very appropriate for 4 year olds. Someone that young might not understand what a brain tumor and it’s not exactly great to give them worries like these so I would say this game if for 10+. I also like that this game doesn’t collect data or include in-app purchases. I hate it when you pay for a game and then have to pay more money!!! All in all, amazing game. I would totally recommend it and it’s a perfect LGBTQ+ story! 👏😄 P.S. go check out their other games! There great too!!!
this is such a beautiful story. i replayed it a couple times before i got to the old age ending. it was so emotional, i cried at the end. the perfect example of what if’s and wishing for different endings. i don’t know which ending was the true ending, but i wonder if maybe august had imagined some of those endings in order to move on? i’m sure the one where they’re old is the true ending, but i like thinking she got carried away with imagining this big wonderful life with her. one thing i think would be good to add is a content warning though. i know someone else made that comment as well. at first i was playing it and my boyfriend was watching, but he soon became triggered by the brain tumors and virus scenarios. he has severe health anxiety and i think it would be good if there was a warning so others don’t become triggered. still a beautiful game and i can’t wait to see what else these creators come up with! :)
Between the story line, characters, and music everything is beautiful. The game play wasn’t as long as the description says but I’m alright with that. I love the two characters- August and May- and their different personalities. The game was beautiful and I really loved going through and playing for the different endings. Thank you for such a wonderful game! Originally I came here because I’d played another game “there’s this girl” and this game had similar feels to that one. It did not disappoint!
I love this game so much!! But there’s a little problem
(this review contains spoilers.) This game is beautifully bittersweet. I loved playing it. However, after you’ve played through the end, and you try to go back, something about the “Enjoying the memories she gave me.” screen makes the game decide not to actually play the game. It just stops on a blank screen. Then the second time, it freezes up on the second image behind the words. This is literally the only problem I have with this game, and I’m not even sure if it’s just me.
Where to start, first the main character is a beautiful transgender woman. Her love interest is a also amazing lesbian woman. Also the choices actually impact the story and what seems to be some of the smallest choices, really impact their story. They also make it realistic by having them quarantined for some of their story. I played threw the game and got all of the endings each one made laugh, one made me cry and just told a story. Oh and the beautiful art! Each piece of art is beautifully drawn and shaded with a beautiful color palette. They do re-use pictures but very rarely. Also the dialogue, it’s realistic and funny. They sound like real people. It’s just right. It’s funny enough for it to not to devalue the game and also is great enough to add to the story. The music, it was amazing and it adds emotion and just adds so much to the characters and story. Over all this game is amazing.
This game has great graphics and amazingly represented pride, but as a game, it lacks a lot of things. The description said “40-90” minutes of game play, yet I finished it in about 5 minutes. I’m not willing to go back and read the same 20 dialogues just to pick one different option for another ending. And yeah, there’s like what, 5 choices in total? I was expecting something more. More character development, more about how they meet, just more short stories to make my money worthwhile. I am honestly disappoint to use $3 on a 5 minute game that had so much great potential :(
when i played it for the first time; like from the beginning, i over the way that the whole layout was in general. i was amazed! the game looks amazing, and has amazing lgbtq+ representation, like august and may are so cute together… and i think it’s kinda funny they are both named after months! there weren't any bugs, and the quality is very high. it’s an amazing game, and i’d totally recommend it to anyone that is not homophobic! :D SPOILERS: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED YET! i cried so hard at the ending where may was old and died of another tumor (i think). i think it’s a tumor because the doctor said something about how she had another one- THE NOTE THING MAY WROTE THOUGH, THAT’S WHAT GOT ME. anyways, i love how each decision you make can literally affect may’s life- and august’s, but who cares about august. /j OVERALL AMAZING GAME!!
I was always rather a fan of Angela He and her work but this took it to a whole new level,,her games are amazing and better yet the effort she puts into it with the music and the art. I’m glad to say she hasn’t disappointed at all with this beautiful and nostalgic game. Her games always seem to hit right into your feelings and truly captures the upmost euphoric feeling of falling in and out of love, thank you for your amazing work and I hope someone out there find this game and loves it just like I did <3
I would like to thank the creators for making a that includes the best stuff ever this is a beautiful game when I got to the old ending I was going to pass out and when I flip the page and I saw what they gave the rest of the page to us to fill out my love story about my life well I will give a thank you to the creators for this game has grown for us now teaching people how to never give up give this game 5 stars please 😢🥰😭
I’ve supported and followed Angela He’s work for a long time. This game manages to make even the most painful experiences interesting to play through. It’s hard for your emotions not to spill out playing this. I didn’t hesitate to pay for this app when it first came out, especially if it means being able to support the creator. I seriously suggest for you to play through this. Explore this.
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever let a game get to me this much, the art work was just absolutely stunning, not to mention the background music added so much into it, I could replay this game for hours and hours, plus I think the 5 endings was awesome, it really gets you thinking and honestly changed my whole perspective over COVID-19, trust me when I say you HAVE to play this game. The story, the art, the music, everything was just amazing.❤️
The storyline really opened my eyes and inspired me. I’ve been going through a lot and this gave me hope that there is love out there. That we can live our life to the fullest without a world of splendor. That all we need is love. This made me shed a few tears and the story is just beautiful. I 100% recommend it.
It’s a good game and for the people that say that it’s not appropriate for lgbtq and kissing is wrong because even if you are young it’s still not inappropriate but if you get a certain ending where may dies from the morbigavirus and you back to the chapter where they kiss August says the a word but I also don’t like how it leaves off at it saying closure for a new chapter yet I never got one.
What a beautiful work and touching story! It have beautiful art style and warm music. Makes me have really strong feeling and touches me a lot. As a player who achieved the true end after a several try, I have a very complex feeling towards the end. But anyway, that is really awesome story and recommend.
Didn’t anticipate shedding tears over fictional characters in a game app, but my brain got tricked by how relatable and realistic this was…… ugh…… my gf and I broke up over two years ago, and I still haven’t even come close to dating anyone else. I’m so tired of being alone. Woe is me… Boo. >_>
wow. this one hit me. i’m a 14 year old bisexual girl who’s lost a lost of people. two to cancer, and one to the pandemic. i hesitated for a while considering that this game costs 3 dollars, but i’m glad i bought it. i think my biggest fear is the unknown. not knowing what’s going to happen next, and what could’ve happened instead. second to that, my other fear is losing the people i love. after i finished the game, i found myself looking into my own life, and i think i needed that.
This game is very heartfelt. Although I didnt like how there was not one good happy ending, it showed real life and that theres not always such good ending. I appreciate this game. I really hope you make more games like this for mobile, all love.
I’m at a loss for words. I have been a HUGE fan of all of her games and this one like all the others have hit a deep part in my heart🥺❤️ This work is brilliant like all the others and I would DEFINITELY don’t regret paying for this amazing game!
I really like the game so far but when I try to go back to the beginning or even a few chapters back it will either just go black or just keep rewinding. I can barely fish the game because of this.
lovely game i loved all endings made me cry a little lol. But i wish there was more haha it’s such a sweet nice detailed game. I don’t know any other game like it and this is the type of game i’ve been looking forever for.
It’s a good game but isn’t it to inappropriate for kids it says 4+ can play it but it’s lgbtq kids should not learn that especially for young ones whoever made this should not allow 4 year olds to play it my younger sister played it she said there was a lot of inappropriate kissing and lgbtq things pls fix it
It hit the feels... or more like punched me in the heart. I read another review about the need for content warnings, and I definitely agree and can see how this can be a painful trigger to those dealing with similar things.
Angela He’s visuals and writing really draw you into the story and characters and she is overall a great storyteller. Would 100% recommend it is so worth the money
Wow. Made me cry and happy and hopeful and laugh! The dialogue is so realistic too! WE NEED MORE GAMES LIKE THIS! And thank you for no in app purchase nonsense! I’m always happy to spend a good $5-10 on a good mobile app game :)
It has many endings and you make the choices. It’s a great game and anyone who said it’s bad or content warning that’s nit true it’s a amazing game I play it a lot
i understand that you can’t keep track of everyone’s triggers, but i really would’ve wished for a content warning concerning health, because i have severe anxiety that concerns my health, and for the last year i’ve been in a horrible episode and convinced myself that i have brain tumor, and it got so bad to the point where it sent me into psychosis, and it’s so bad that i can’t even bring myself to go to the doctor to get tests because i’m too terrified of going. anyway, as i was finally getting out of my episode, i played this game and now i feel as though i’ve gotten set months back, i really wished you would’ve put more about what it contained :(
i love this game so much. it’s so sweet and the artwork is incredible. the music is calming and the story is adorable. i cried at the end, lol. a few things to note: i don’t think it’s worth the $3 that i paid, but i’ve played many other games by this creator and i have loved all of them, so i didn’t mind paying it and i still don’t, because she definitely deserves it, but the game is just a little bit too short for that much of a cost. the “voices” annoyed me at first, since it was just random gibberish, but i got used to it and by around the third chapter, i didn’t even notice. all in all, a lovely game, no regrets, and will be playing this story over, and over.
cute story but i wish you can go back to looking at the story bc i wanted to take screenshots and make an edit of it but it doesnt let you go back instead just freezes when you delete data
coming from a lesbian, it’s great to see a wlw game like this. i just absolutely hate that i cried to this, and i really recommend this game. the only thing i don’t like is that i cannot find any wlw game that is as incredible as this one. great job, love the game !!
I cried several times like a giant newborn baby. Fantastic LGBTQ game. Tragically phenomenal. I’ve played every game by the creator and I hope for more.
well once again you made me cry.. may is my spirit animal lolol 💕thank you for making this you are so poetic and talented ily <3 makes me feel really happy 🥺
it’s a great game, the only problem is it won’t let me replay to get the “other ending”. it’s really upsetting to see that i spent $3 just for this game to work once :(
