i adored this visual novel. i literally almost cried when it ended. i loved it so much. i wanna try a different route though but its the one where you like not date him or something. that will probably break my heart but. I ADORED THIS SO MUCH IF I DONT HAVE A PARTNER LIKE ARTEMIS I DONT WANT IT
i haven’t finished playing until the end yet, but i love artemis and all the other characters so much. (i would literally die for artemis and mordag <3)
AAAH this game was so cute I felt like I belonged in this story, the more I got into it the more I was obsessed I felt loved by Artemis to the point where I actually started acting like they were real. The friendship with Artemis and their friends was adorable it made me want to have friends just like them, the fact That I was halfway in and I started crying their words make me flutter for some reason and THEIR SMILE IS SO CUTE AHHH <3 but I probably need to face the fact that they aren't real
This game is Absolutely amazing, I am totally head over hells for Artemis they had me twirling my hair and kicking my feet the whole game. I literally have a emotional attachment to them(lol). This game also has a really good story line I almost played the game in one sitting and never got bored of it. Honestly I wish I could play the game forever. I definitely recommend playing this game.
oh my god oh my god i read the comments before playing and was like eh sure idk if itll be that good...
I WAS WRONG
OH MY GODDDD
i want this game to continue forever istg i was blushing screaming artemis is so sweet?????? IM?????
i also love the art style its giving picrew style in like the best way possible
and the backgrounds!!! i love how theyre realistic enough to communicate the setting but still nicely stylised so it doesnt break the fantasy
10000000000/10 im gonna brainrot over this for an unhealthy amount of time artemis has my ENTIRE heart im sobbing
cannot express how fun and engaging this game was to play, i played it thru in one go spamming spacebar so i could get to the next cool thing (which was all of it bc the game is awesome) the characters were so realistic and i love how the typing segments weren't stilted and awkard like it can be in other games. if you choose to add more to this i would literally go insane. thank you so much!
you know, i played this because i usually don't take these seriously but when i tell you how much i love this. I STARTED SOBBING WITH ARTEMIS AT THE END. they mean so much to me even tho they don't exist and makes me cry more :,) at the beginning i was like "oh, this is nice and cute." BUT WHEN I SAW ARTEMIS. UgHGVUGguG MY HEART GOES TO THEM. this is basicly the best one i have read and i actually ended up falling for them. i fucking cant believe i fell for a moth. i'm sobbing and blushing at the same time. art is amazing. plot is amazing. everything is. yes. keep up the good work :,D have a nice day/night to whoever read this <3
OEMGEEE I just finished this game and I just, first of all, want to thank you for creating this!!! You've completely made me fall in love with this character along with the story, gosh, I was so immersed!!! Like Artemis is all I think abt now,,, I'm absolutely brain rotting over that fella <333 LIKE;;; THERE'S NO NEED FOR A MOTH TO MAKE ME FEEL THIS TYPA WAY!??! and I like how it was just a genuine feel-good novel with likable and uniquely designed characters!! Every single character is essential in their own little way and our relationships with them are so much fun to watch (if that makes sense idk im typing this at 1am @_@). I also want to go ahead and say that this game has kind of helped me get my spirits up and feel not so down since I've been kinda out of it lately... It took me by surprise that your character has brought me so much joy and seeing Artemis sort of break down at the end abt how much they appreciated US kinda made me feel all tingly on the inside and (not to sound like a loser) feel loved again :] Ugh,,, I just love every aspect of this game and I could go on and on abt how much I love it it's just so good!!! (>///<) I am DEFINITELY looking forward to what you have in store for us in the future with this series!!! and I may or may not draw all of these lovely characters and make up fake scenarios in my head for the next couple of months ;)))
I Love this game!!! I've deleted and re-written this comment so many times trying to get my point across, but I loved everything about this game! I love your art style and the way you wrote it made it so easy to get into and visualize what they were talking about! I also really liked the music and sound effects! If this is in development then I'm super excited to see more! (≧∇≦)/
im kissing u gently on the forehead rn... MWAH!!!!! thank you sooo much, so happy that you liked the game and all of the elements inside of it <3 warms by heart!!
FOURTH OR FIFTH PLAYTHROUGH?!? omg im so flattered!!!! wahhh!!!!!! but on the note of trappin naruto... i will have to find the picture that i was referencing because i swear dude i swear the shirt exists in real life
This was so fucking great! Oh my god we need more ga(y)mes like this. I was uncontrollably smiling at so many it just makes me so happy and makes me feel so comforted I'm so in love with this gayme!!!!
GAYMES!!! so true oh my god, so happy that you like it so much <3 can't wait for you to see all the cool new things i'm planning on doing with this gayme hehehe
i have never simped for a fictional character in a visual novel so bad before. i love the art style and the story over all its so cute!! one of my favorites 10/10 will play again😭😭
Oh. My. GOODNESS I am obsessed w this game! You should feel very very proud!! This is one of my all time favorite VNs, the characters are so lifelike, the artwork is amazing, and despite only having one 'route' I am so in love w Artemis I want to replay it just to fall in love w them again!
I see that this game is still marked as "in development" - I can't wait to see what you'll add! If I could make a suggestion, I would really like to go to another of Artemis's shows now that we (players) are actually dating them :0 maybe someone flirts w them after the show?? idk I want to hold true to my promise of going to every show :,)
Thank you for this game! <3 I will be watching for updates :D
thank you so much!!!!!!!! i know that i've gotten a lot of comments on this thing but to hear that so many people share the same sentiments fills my heart with so much love ;-;!!!!
and omg.. i love when people ask about the development that im planning coz really i cannot keep my mouth shut no matter how hard try LMFAOOOO!!!! okay so like... i have more than several events that im thinking about working on but here's a super quick rundown of some things i was planning becoz like i said.. i cannot keep my mouth shut:
player going to visit artemis at work (since they're employed now!!)
player sitting in on one of point pleasant's band practices (in kolia's garage!!!)
artemis taking the player to meet their family (dianaaaa!!!)
a couple other things that im still thinking about, but i wanted to have this update be a direct response to things that the players would like to see, so i am noting down everything you've said <333
I love this game so much!! I love it so much about that everytime I try to write this comment it just doesn't do my feelings justice. I typically don't feel much when it comes to romantic visual novels but this game is the exception. This game had me so invested that anytime I wasn't playing it, I was thinking about playing it. And like every time the mood shifted mine also shifted with it, like if the tone was happy I was also happy, but if it shifted to being tense I became tense with it. I also LOVE the characters, they feel very three-dimensional, I definitely think you succeeded with 'show not tell' with them. At the very end, when Artemis was crying, I genuinely felt like crying with them, and I don't cry easily. All in all, if there was one experience that I could relive, it would definitely be playing this game for the first time. I'm now kind of interested in making my own visual novel now. Sorry if this was formatted weird, I'm not great at writing emotional stuff lol
this is genuinely one of the sweetest comments that i've ever gotten truly... to know that you dont typically get emotional & that you don't really play these kinds of games and you liked the thing that ive created... wahh it really means so much to me T-T i am so flattered that you were able to feel the emotions of the game and the characters that i've created is truly something that i will hold so dearly to my heart. i really wanted to create a story that people were able to experience and understand and influence and to know that i was successful really means everything to me!!!! definitely try to make your own vn, it can be such a rewarding experience and you might love it just as much that i've loved making this game :]<333
this is my first time commenting, but i really like these kinds of visual novels (plus i really liked that I could express myself as she/they in the game!!) i do hope that you make more of these kinds of games because i really love how the story progresses. even though that i don't normally enjoy slow burn stories, this one is an exception. sorry for my english but do you have plans to create a new game? because i would definitely play it!
!!! im so happy to hear u liked the pronoun options!! thats been a thing people have been talking about since i released the game and i wasnt expecting that it was gonna be something people appreciated so much hehehe <3 hmmm but i do actually have plans for several games!!! like ive thought about making at least two (maybe three?) spinoff games... one about taz, one about odina (and kolia maybe), and then maybe one about kurou... but im just thinking!!! i do also have plans to make a new little story & art update for this game but trust me im sooooo not done with this game and the world yet hehehe. there's so much i havent done yet and i cant wait to keep telling stories hehehe :] and your english is lovely <3
After having taken a nap (because, to be honest, this game had me so interested that I might've messed up my sleep schedule adjfndsmf) I can say that even after awaking, this game is still something that was on my mind and I felt the need to leave a comment :) This game is one of the most beloved that I have played in a long while? I came into it thinking that it would just be a fun, cute little short game where I would get to the end fast and remember it as a "fun little experience" but I instead I found myself having to personally pause and take a walk around my room because of these amazing, sweet characters. As someone who is also currently coding a visual novel, I was just so caught off guard by live like the characters were, ESPECIALLY Artemis. I would pause the game and kind of just sit on the save/load screen just wondering "Is this a conversation the creator actually had????" because the dialogue, the way characters spoke, the way they reacted, their feelings, desires, interests, it all felt so unbelievably natural, as if they were entirely just based off real people and it was so easy to loose myself in the story and feel completely welcomed into this wonderful world you have weaved :) (it probably also helps that i've been in some of those exact situations with actual friends- especially the hunting for the awful shirts, thrift stores are great i swear)
And to top it all off, I look at this page, wanting to see other peoples comments, wanting to know if anyone else had the amazing experience that I had and I see that the creator is absolutely interested in feedback and is responding to people! It's kind of a weird comment to make, maybe??? But it always makes me smiles when I see people being actively interested in what they've crafted and it brings even more of a smile to my face when the creator seems like such an honest and nice person with how their responding and I have to sit there with a big dorky smile and just "Wow, a win for the community, creator is kind person, funny person, type of person that I wanna be friends with :)"- I don't know if that explanation makes any sense or comes off as dumb but whatever uhjdsakfdsjm
My point is that this game is now on my lists of "Amazing games that make me smile with Amazing creators that I wanna be friends w/ :DDD"
(and a gift of friendship- fanart of my favorite moth)
THIS COMMENT IS SOOOOOO CUTE oh my god, wahhhhh WAHHHH this is so cute. genuinely this is so sweet. the fact that you took the time to write something so thoughtful is very very sweet TT-TT i will be honest, i read it like five times before i thought i was able to respond LOOOL!!!! im so happy that you enjoyed the game and you found everything to feel realistic (this was a huge goal of mine hehehehe im very glad people think my characters and my world are lifelike o_o!!!). i will confess though LOL a lot of this game genuinely is inspired by some of my irl experiences/friends + a lot of the images are taken from places in my city but its so nice that it all translates into these characters hehehehe
and omg i feel so rude if i dont respond to comments!!!!! im seriously just a little guy and even though its been a couple months since this game has been out, im still so shocked by how well its been received and every comment that i get really feels like a huge honor ;w; wahh i just want to show everyone my appreciation coz truly... i am simply a little guy who makes little games!!
AND THIS ART im gonna pass away and die. currently putting this drawing in my pocket forever and ever and ever. ur style is so cute artemis looks so cute wahhh thank you <33333
i absolutely love this game so much !!! artemis makes me literally so happy and there have been many times my feelings have gone brrrrr jsut HHEDHhmkrdhjkehn??? literally my type omg. continuing on- this is honestly one of the most best written visual novel/dating sim games that i have played. i love the plot so much, i love how it revolves around a coffee shop, the characters are absolutely loveable, i love the options for the pronouns, and it gave me so much serotonin and happy feels. lemme tell you, i am definitely playing this game way more bahahah 10/10 would recommend playing!!
wahhhh oh my god, thank you so so so much!!!! comments like these always mean the world to me TT-TT !!!!! artemis is very much my type as well LMFAO thats the reason they're the way that they are, and im very happy to know that theyre other peoples type as well <333 im so thrilled that the game made you feel things and that you wanna play it again [imagine me wiping my tears] thank you so much for playing!!! <33
i played the og cryptid coffeehouse on repeat for a while and i started noticing that small things changed, and i was like oh that's weird. then i go on to itch after like a little to see that u made 2.0?? AND IT'S FREE????? i can't tell u how quickly i installed it LMAO thank u<3 this game is adorable and so is artemis!! i also liked the mini thing we saw with taz and bruilkea(?)!! and jaexon is so sweet, overall i rlly liked this visual novel and i kinda looked over ur comments and saw ure making a 3.0 and omg i AOPSKDKASDASD yk??? also diana is so cute, everything ab this game is so so so cute. thank uuu!!
this game will always be free!!!!! on here at least :]!!!! i think one of the biggest reasons why its done so well is because a lot of people have access to it so i never want to remove that option from people (✿´‿`) im putting the game on steam though at some point and i think i will be charging like $10-15 on there, but on itch this game will always be free hehehehe
and WAHHH im so happy u liked the new events in the game!!!! especially the small moments with the side characters with less screentime awww. the taz & bruilkea moment is one of my favorites, i think theyre so cute. AND YES... dont tell anyone but i am very much thinking about version 3.0!!!! ive already made lists of what it'll include and what i intend to change, but compared to this update, its a rather small one thats probably mostly going to be based around art assets & extremely minor story changes teehee. i hope that you'll be able to play it whenever i release it!!! <333 thank you so much for the sweet and thoughtful comment and thank u so much for playing my game, it means the world to me ^_^
I just finished playing this and oh my gods this has to be on my fav visual novels!! I'm literally about to play it again I'm absolutely in love with this game everything about it is 10/10!
awww hehehe i am so happy you liked it ^_^ it always makes my day when people tell me that the game is one of their favorites like it really means so much to me!!! i hope u enjoy all your replays <33333 thank you so much
This is literally my favorite visual novel/dating sim even game of all time!! It's so good!!! So much serotonin!!!! Artemis is literally perfect for me, if my type was a person it'd be them. The art is so cute, the writing simple but so effective and the character are so well written, they feel so real! I need WAY more games like this in my life (the custom pronoun option too <3)
WAHHH wahhh omg wiping my tears away right now as i type this... </3 thank you so much for playing! im so happy that you loved everything and i'm so happy that artemis resonates with u as a character <3 i love them sooo much and they are so near and dear to my heart, so it always brightens my day to hear that people love them just as much as i do!!!!!! thank u sm!
Finally got to playing the second part of the game and omgg it was so nice actually doing sort of couple-y stuff with Artemis and the ending was so sweet- Honeslty really wanna meet the child >:)
so glad u liked everything!!! <333 and omg yes, diana! i plan on drawing her very soon (and also maybe plan on showing her in a tentative version 3.0 release...? dont tell anyone i said that teehee things are still under construction)
I usually don't take the time to write comments like these, however this cute visual novel left a bit of an impact on me. Over the many years of reading novels and visual novels most usually have a very similar scheme to them. Though for a coffeeshop au sort of plot, it was very unlike others I've previously read. In a good way of course. I applaud you for that. I truly loved how gentle each character was in their own aspect. Like Kurou was outwardly aggressive but truly loved their friends and had a soft spot for cooking, or even the little flower shop jackalope fella. And who could forget the sweetheart Artemis, which I must say I adored the whole Diana and Artemis being named after the Goddesses plot. I gotta say I'm a sucker for mythology hehe. Good work for putting so much thought in each character and prompt they say. It was very heartwarming, Good Luck! :)
wahhh thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet and thoughtful comment! i'm so happy that you enjoyed all the characters and all of their little idiosyncrasies and quirky little lives, and im so happy u liked the diana & artemis subplot :] that subplot was personally one of my absolute favorites to write so i am so overjoyed that it sticks out to people!! thank you so much again awww thank you!!
Nukes I am actually in love with this game. Your writing is incredible-- not to mention your gorgeous artwork. I cannot wait to see where this series goes in the future.
I'm struggling a bit to have the thoughts i have on this come out fully formed.
I certainly enjoyed the update, and the praise i gave the older version completely applies here too. Last time i believe i said something like "i couldn't help but get a little hooked", and i think after replaying it for the first time in months with this update that ends up being a massive understatement.
Any new content that were to get added to this i'm sure i'd love, but honestly the current version does overtake whatever hype my obsessed brain could come up with. What's already here is pretty special.
Thank you for making this, genuinely. You've made my day twice now with the silly mothman.
ok i will admit, i first read this comment while i was at work and i nearly started bawling when i read it TT-TT im so happy that you enjoyed the update (and the original build??!?!??!) and that it met ur expectations and ahhhhh thank YOU so much for playing and commenting and enjoying it, it really makes me so happy that there are people out there that love this silly little cryptid game!!!!!
I just finished the update. I didn't expect to *actually* cry. I was so hyped that I thought there was no way it could actually live up to my expectations, but it did. Just a fantastic job all around. Thank you for all your hard work :D
Im not super far into the new update, but Artemis' coin collection reminds me of the time last summer when my cousin and I tried to find a quarter from ever US state for a week. We got most of them, I don't remember which ones we were missing by the end of the week tho
LMFAOOOOO THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION 😭 i actually found the shirt on google so yes it actually exists in real life and it is quite literally the most cursed thing ive ever seen. i am not sure where to purchase it but if u ever find out, let me know coz i want one too 😭
Guys when I tell you I'm gay for Artemis i mean I'm gay for them. I cried because after I played I realized that they weren't real :( The game is soo good I love it so much its definitely my second favorite I can't get over how cute the ending was I love it <3

What does the thirty dollar bracelet do? i bought it and didnt notice any difference in dialogue or gameplay (ive played this game like 4 times)
I just love them so much. I go back to this to feel happy ^^
i adored this visual novel. i literally almost cried when it ended. i loved it so much. i wanna try a different route though but its the one where you like not date him or something. that will probably break my heart but. I ADORED THIS SO MUCH IF I DONT HAVE A PARTNER LIKE ARTEMIS I DONT WANT IT

no words only pure heartache over knowing Artemis cannot be mine irl 😭😭🥹
i haven’t finished playing until the end yet, but i love artemis and all the other characters so much. (i would literally die for artemis and mordag <3)

I would pause the game and kind of just sit on the save/load screen just wondering "Is this a conversation the creator actually had????" because the dialogue, the way characters spoke, the way they reacted, their feelings, desires, interests, it all felt so unbelievably natural, as if they were entirely just based off real people and it was so easy to loose myself in the story and feel completely welcomed into this wonderful world you have weaved :) (it probably also helps that i've been in some of those exact situations with actual friends- especially the hunting for the awful shirts, thrift stores are great i swear)
And to top it all off, I look at this page, wanting to see other peoples comments, wanting to know if anyone else had the amazing experience that I had and I see that the creator is absolutely interested in feedback and is responding to people! It's kind of a weird comment to make, maybe??? But it always makes me smiles when I see people being actively interested in what they've crafted and it brings even more of a smile to my face when the creator seems like such an honest and nice person with how their responding and I have to sit there with a big dorky smile and just "Wow, a win for the community, creator is kind person, funny person, type of person that I wanna be friends with :)"- I don't know if that explanation makes any sense or comes off as dumb but whatever uhjdsakfdsjm
My point is that this game is now on my lists of "Amazing games that make me smile with Amazing creators that I wanna be friends w/ :DDD"
(and a gift of friendship- fanart of my favorite moth)
THIS COMMENT IS SOOOOOO CUTE oh my god, wahhhhh WAHHHH this is so cute. genuinely this is so sweet. the fact that you took the time to write something so thoughtful is very very sweet TT-TT i will be honest, i read it like five times before i thought i was able to respond LOOOL!!!! im so happy that you enjoyed the game and you found everything to feel realistic (this was a huge goal of mine hehehehe im very glad people think my characters and my world are lifelike o_o!!!). i will confess though LOL a lot of this game genuinely is inspired by some of my irl experiences/friends + a lot of the images are taken from places in my city but its so nice that it all translates into these characters hehehehe
and omg i feel so rude if i dont respond to comments!!!!! im seriously just a little guy and even though its been a couple months since this game has been out, im still so shocked by how well its been received and every comment that i get really feels like a huge honor ;w; wahh i just want to show everyone my appreciation coz truly... i am simply a little guy who makes little games!!

i absolutely love this game so much !!! artemis makes me literally so happy and there have been many times my feelings have gone brrrrr jsut HHEDHhmkrdhjkehn??? literally my type omg. continuing on- this is honestly one of the most best written visual novel/dating sim games that i have played. i love the plot so much, i love how it revolves around a coffee shop, the characters are absolutely loveable, i love the options for the pronouns, and it gave me so much serotonin and happy feels. lemme tell you, i am definitely playing this game way more bahahah 10/10 would recommend playing!!
tysm for making this game, nukes !!!!
wahhhh oh my god, thank you so so so much!!!! comments like these always mean the world to me TT-TT !!!!! artemis is very much my type as well LMFAO thats the reason they're the way that they are, and im very happy to know that theyre other peoples type as well <333 im so thrilled that the game made you feel things and that you wanna play it again [imagine me wiping my tears] thank you so much for playing!!! <33
i played the og cryptid coffeehouse on repeat for a while and i started noticing that small things changed, and i was like oh that's weird. then i go on to itch after like a little to see that u made 2.0?? AND IT'S FREE????? i can't tell u how quickly i installed it LMAO thank u<3 this game is adorable and so is artemis!! i also liked the mini thing we saw with taz and bruilkea(?)!! and jaexon is so sweet, overall i rlly liked this visual novel and i kinda looked over ur comments and saw ure making a 3.0 and omg i AOPSKDKASDASD yk??? also diana is so cute, everything ab this game is so so so cute. thank uuu!!
this game will always be free!!!!! on here at least :]!!!! i think one of the biggest reasons why its done so well is because a lot of people have access to it so i never want to remove that option from people (✿´‿`) im putting the game on steam though at some point and i think i will be charging like $10-15 on there, but on itch this game will always be free hehehehe
and WAHHH im so happy u liked the new events in the game!!!! especially the small moments with the side characters with less screentime awww. the taz & bruilkea moment is one of my favorites, i think theyre so cute. AND YES... dont tell anyone but i am very much thinking about version 3.0!!!! ive already made lists of what it'll include and what i intend to change, but compared to this update, its a rather small one thats probably mostly going to be based around art assets & extremely minor story changes teehee. i hope that you'll be able to play it whenever i release it!!! <333 thank you so much for the sweet and thoughtful comment and thank u so much for playing my game, it means the world to me ^_^

This is literally my favorite visual novel/dating sim even game of all time!! It's so good!!! So much serotonin!!!! Artemis is literally perfect for me, if my type was a person it'd be them.

my lips are sealed lol ;^) (but still very excited)
I usually don't take the time to write comments like these, however this cute visual novel left a bit of an impact on me. Over the many years of reading novels and visual novels most usually have a very similar scheme to them. Though for a coffeeshop au sort of plot, it was very unlike others I've previously read. In a good way of course. I applaud you for that. I truly loved how gentle each character was in their own aspect. Like Kurou was outwardly aggressive but truly loved their friends and had a soft spot for cooking, or even the little flower shop jackalope fella. And who could forget the sweetheart Artemis, which I must say I adored the whole Diana and Artemis being named after the Goddesses plot. I gotta say I'm a sucker for mythology hehe. Good work for putting so much thought in each character and prompt they say. It was very heartwarming, Good Luck! :)
wahhh thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet and thoughtful comment! i'm so happy that you enjoyed all the characters and all of their little idiosyncrasies and quirky little lives, and im so happy u liked the diana & artemis subplot :] that subplot was personally one of my absolute favorites to write so i am so overjoyed that it sticks out to people!! thank you so much again awww thank you!!
Nukes I am actually in love with this game. Your writing is incredible-- not to mention your gorgeous artwork. I cannot wait to see where this series goes in the future.
oh my god. thank you! thank you so fucking much, truly :') thank u for continuing to support me!!! i wont let u down!!!!
i feel like a gay idiot now
I'm struggling a bit to have the thoughts i have on this come out fully formed.
I certainly enjoyed the update, and the praise i gave the older version completely applies here too. Last time i believe i said something like "i couldn't help but get a little hooked", and i think after replaying it for the first time in months with this update that ends up being a massive understatement.
Any new content that were to get added to this i'm sure i'd love, but honestly the current version does overtake whatever hype my obsessed brain could come up with. What's already here is pretty special.
Thank you for making this, genuinely. You've made my day twice now with the silly mothman.
ok i will admit, i first read this comment while i was at work and i nearly started bawling when i read it TT-TT im so happy that you enjoyed the update (and the original build??!?!??!) and that it met ur expectations and ahhhhh thank YOU so much for playing and commenting and enjoying it, it really makes me so happy that there are people out there that love this silly little cryptid game!!!!!
I just finished the update. I didn't expect to *actually* cry. I was so hyped that I thought there was no way it could actually live up to my expectations, but it did. Just a fantastic job all around. Thank you for all your hard work :D
oh wowww im so flattered awww :’] thank YOU for playing i appreciate it so much!!!
I JUST FINISHED THE NEW UPDATE!! IM CRYING AND SOBBING OH MY GOD I LOVE ITTTTT AAAAHHH <3333
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING!!!!! im so so happy that you loved it!!!! it means so much to me 😊😊
Im not super far into the new update, but Artemis' coin collection reminds me of the time last summer when my cousin and I tried to find a quarter from ever US state for a week. We got most of them, I don't remember which ones we were missing by the end of the week tho
this is so funny because when i was a kid, i used to collect pennies hahahaha i had a coin collector book just like artemis. its a fun hobby isnt it?!
I realized I thanked you on twitter, but not here. So thank you so much again! <3 What a game!
aww thank you so much for playing!!!!!
this game had me legit sobbing (in a good way) but i NEED TO KNOW... is the trappin naruto shirt real and if so where can i purchase it
LMFAOOOOO THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION 😭 i actually found the shirt on google so yes it actually exists in real life and it is quite literally the most cursed thing ive ever seen. i am not sure where to purchase it but if u ever find out, let me know coz i want one too 😭
Guys when I tell you I'm gay for Artemis i mean I'm gay for them. I cried because after I played I realized that they weren't real :( The game is soo good I love it so much its definitely my second favorite I can't get over how cute the ending was I love it <3
WAHH omg this comment is so cute 😭🥺 thank you for playing!!!!! *wipes ur tears*
