Played this on Steam, but it was very good. I got Erika Ending 2 and it was so nice I decided to take a break before continuing to future games or endings. c: npckc really doesn't miss! I love the art, the dialogue is nice, as someone who is not trans myself and feels like I sometimes fumble through things but highly supports my trans friends I felt like I related to Erika a lot. Manami's the kind of character I often like. And Haru deserved her good hot spring spa night. Will probably return to 100% this later!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE NOT LESBIANS??? the sheer shock and sadness me and my friend experienced was astonishing.
this game is very good. The subjects mentioned by Haru and other characters are horrible but so common for trans people. Its obviously different for everyone but one nice person can really help
finally got around to playing this and it was seriously beautiful. my egg cracked two years ago, and i've been living with awful dysphoria that gets worse every day. i've been finally working up the nerve to come out these last few months, and i think this just got me a little closer to finally doing it:) thank you for this <3
I love the dynamic between the characters, I enjoyed my time playing this game and it was quite fun.
although i am cis man i will play this and will tell my experience in reply . eagerly looking forward to play this game

A cute game, I love Erika so much - she is so sweet, tomboy characters usually aren't my cup of tea but Erika built different fr fr
the game is beautiful
really cute quick game to play THE ART IS SO ADORABLE
Perfect, just perfect.
haru my sweet spring child
eu amo esse jogo com todo o meu coração <3
It was really nice game! I played it on play store when I was a kid. Grew up in a homophobic and transphobic environment, yet this game really made me and helped me understand a little better. Now rolling on, 2025 and I'm also part of LGBTQIA+ as an unlabeled person. Really good, thank you for changing my perspective for better when I was a kid just from a game. <3
What does the IA stand for?
intersex and asexual!
played it on my cellphone. cute :)
such a sweet game <3 as a trans guy its so sweet to see these kinds of games support the transgender community!!
played this when i was younger and now im nonbinary. if this is the game that did it i have no complaints. (joking aside, very cute game with a very sweet premise. good exercise in empathy for cis people i think)
This game is so cute and necessary! I love games that talk about topics like transsexuality, I played this game on the playstore a while ago and it's just perfect! I recommend it ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
Played this a while back on the Google Play store :> learned things about the transgender experience as someone who's cis + the game in general is just super cute
I am at awe, the writing is expectacular. Thank you very much for this feeling journey <3
This game is wonderful ohmygod!!! thank you for making this it made me feel great!
This game made me so happy and hopeful. and the good endings made me tear up with joy. thanks for another cute game :)
I remember playing this game a while ago on steam, and I think I didn't really get what it was about at the time, now, since somethings has happend to me regarding of gender and all, it feels like a really sweet game and I'm really happy to enconter it....
I remember that when I play it back then I did all the endings, but rn, I don't have the heart to do any other endings :'), a really sweet experience, thank you so much for making it!!!
Nice game, also happy pride mouth :)
im to lazy to get all endings rn but i love that game sm~
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Real.
10/10 this is amazing
i loved this <333
i haven't gotten all the endings yet but this game is lovely <3 i think i speak for a lot of people when i say the story resonated with me a lot
ty for making this :]
Interesting game
This was lovely, I appreciate the effort and care that was put into this game <3 <3 <3 please, do more games like this one
As a non-binary trans person I was a bit worried to play this because of the subject matter, but it's a lovely game. Didn't realise there were multiple endings, so it was a nice surprise! :)
this game is lovely. lovely is the word that describes this game. it touches on issues that trans people face but is a nice example of how things can go well and showing trans joy. the main character reminds me a lot of one of my closest friends so I think it home in that regard. I really hope she gets to come out one day and live her life as her authentic self :,3
getting sidetracked. this is a lovely little game. all the art is so cute. the characters are so sweet. everyone needs to play this game :] <3
i find it really cute you thought of your friend while playing :3 maybe you should show her(correct me if im wrong w pronouns..) it :D
:3 I have sent it to her! she has exams right now but after that I will make her play it >:D
WOOOOOOOO
this was a lovely game
this was just beautiful in every way, i've never had a video game make me cry before but I'm happy to say this game made me happy cry :) i've never played a game that made me feel okay to be who i am before. thank you for making this wonderful game
I played this game on Steam and I love it! The first VN I loved from beginning to end.
very cute game with great story
game absolutely resonates to me in a way i didnt think was possible, thank you for making this, really hit me in the feels :)
I just played this game. I'm a closeted, young (16 yo) trans girl and the way Haru thinks is the same as mine.
I loved this, thank you
I just played this game as I begin my journey to transition, and I don't think I could have picked a better time. It really resonated with me... during such a scary process, it's good to have the reminder that people can be kind.
