There are two things I like about this VN: the art style, because it's gorgeous, and the premise of the story, which is interesting too. However, the love interests aren't my cup of coffee. I wish there were no gender restrictions when it comes to romance between our love interests. Tbh, i don't mind playing as a gay MC, but I also want to play as a straight MC; sadly, we can't do that in Farah Route; there's no male romance option. So, IMO, if you include two guys and two women, it would be a good balance for both MCs romance paths. If u want a example go check out Trouble Comes Twice VN the option of love interests are good. But it's your decision if you don't want to. Overall, it's so-so, not really bad, and not really good either. I wish all the success for your game; it has so much potential 😊
I love the premise and I loved the demo, a quick question tho, does the full game have the usually skip seen option? where it stops once u reach text you haven't seen yet?
Played the demo on Steam and loved it! I do have a few questions though:
Will the full version of the game have a history or log, where the player can look back on the story so far/leading up to their choice?
Will there be a rollback feature for dialogue/choices (particularly if the history or log cannot be viewed)?
Will there be a screen on the options panel or elsewhere that shows what keys do what? I hit enter a few times expecting to advance the text but found it didn't work. (I prefer using the keyboard to navigate).
I think you need to update your links on your websites and here too. The twitter link here goes to a different account (previous one?) than the correct one.
On their Twitter they stated that it's coming out soon (May 2023), so I'd say possibly May 30-31st but since they're also featured in "Future of Play Direct" to announce their new game and show off a game trailer, maybe not until June 10th (since that's when the event starts). I could be wrong though, since the Future of Play Direct could be an opportunity for them to market their game to larger audiences, so the game could be out on May as planned.
Sorry for the delay, but I have some exciting news! I know we bumped our launch date quite a bit during our development cycle, that's the curse of self publishing, but I am finally here to say that we are launching June10th, which a spectacular announcement."
It's really nice. Personally I'm not a fan of scifi, but everything about this game look so neat that I couldn't help but give it a try, and not disappointed at all! The character and CG so pretty and well match (I've seen many games the sprite and the CG just... don't look like one person), the design, the BG, every so lovely! I'm also surprised how much CG this demo have. Last but not least, the writing! Lately I hardly have patience to sit through a visual novel past 10 minute, I just try and drop many demos, but this one can keep me till the end! Really look-forward to it release.
I don't know if this is a bug or if it's intentional but when I choose who to reach out to, I chose Sam but it tells me if I want to start Imani's route instead?
It's intentional! You cannot date Sam as Farah, but instead, he provides assistance in finding Imani! So you call him to start Imani's route! (Or call Imani).
the demo is great! amazing art style, fun setting, the ui is super clean. i enjoy the characters and aziz is totally my type LOL. i like the idea of having two different protagonists, but making them have noticeably different personalities instead of just being genderbends of each other. the writing is very nice and dialogue feels natural!
the music is also super nice!
only complaint is some minor things such as the save and skip systems. having a page with multiple save files, and the ability to skip to the next choice would make playing through different routes much easier. (maybe these are in the demo and im just dense? i'm used to renpy visual novels haha). i finished aziz's route first, then reloaded my quicksave (which was right before route selection) to try out different options, and got to the meeting with inanna and died. i went back and saw it saved over my previous quicksave, so i had to redo my file from the start :( not a huge deal, just not super user friendly.
overall i'm looking forward to a full release! i can tell yall put tons of love and effort into this game, it has a lot of heart.

Oh my god stfu
Are there any plans to bring the Linux version that Steam has over to Itch.io ?
We can definitely get that over here! We'll be taking a look to do that soon!
I love the premise and I loved the demo, a quick question tho, does the full game have the usually skip seen option? where it stops once u reach text you haven't seen yet?
Unfortunately it does not!
Damn if only it was for android as well 😞
Does the itch.io version have additional / adult content compared to the steam version?
It's the same content on both platforms!
Will itch.io buyers get Steam key?
Currently, no!
Played the demo on Steam and loved it! I do have a few questions though:
Thanks!
Thank you so much for playing and to answer your questions!
1. Unfortunately, we won't have a log to look back! It's definitely a feature we want to make sure to have in future work though!
2. There is no rollback, but we do have a quick save and manual save that you can load into anytime through the playthrough.
3. For the full game, the enter bar works (I just tested it haha) as well as the space bar!
Thanks again for playing, we constantly aim to keep improving!
Hi! When can i buy this visual novel game? Like i need it <3
info is on their social media. it release jun 30
That's right! We launch here, Steam and Xbox on June 30th!
Does the game work with touchscreen tablets? So far seems to be having iasues
The game is not intended for use on tablets- Love Shore plays best on PC or Mac!
Hi, is the demo still available? The links aren't working for me
It's available on Steam!
Only on steam and not on itch.io at all?
We just put it up now, so hopefully it's visible!
it is a windows tablet, to be precise a Yoga 7 ( 14", Gen 7) AMD 6800u processor. but touchscreen capability would be really good
How do I download the demo?
I think you need to update your links on your websites and here too. The twitter link here goes to a different account (previous one?) than the correct one.
We caught it in our actual profile! Good catch and thank you!
When will this game be released?
On their Twitter they stated that it's coming out soon (May 2023), so I'd say possibly May 30-31st but since they're also featured in "Future of Play Direct" to announce their new game and show off a game trailer, maybe not until June 10th (since that's when the event starts).

thanks! looking forward to this game's release :)

Where did you see them writing this? I've been trying to look all over for this lol
It's really nice. Personally I'm not a fan of scifi, but everything about this game look so neat that I couldn't help but give it a try, and not disappointed at all!

how to get aziz kiss?
wait, so is this game actually already been released in full or not?
I don't know if this is a bug or if it's intentional but when I choose who to reach out to, I chose Sam but it tells me if I want to start Imani's route instead?
It's intentional! You cannot date Sam as Farah, but instead, he provides assistance in finding Imani! So you call him to start Imani's route! (Or call Imani).
ohh I see, thank you for clearing that up!! I will look forward to the full game!!^^
lowkey a bit disappointed you cant tho xdthe demo is great! amazing art style, fun setting, the ui is super clean. i enjoy the characters and aziz is totally my type LOL. i like the idea of having two different protagonists, but making them have noticeably different personalities instead of just being genderbends of each other. the writing is very nice and dialogue feels natural!

hello!
Thanks for this! Having a skip forward button has been a hot debate on our end, so your feedback definitely matters to us!
We’ll look into it, though it might just be an option to skip to previous choice points (so secret endings can be surprise still). We’re on the case!
Thank you so much for playing it!!
