* she's bi
This game is very much in development! There are currently no lewd scenes (besides some minor placeholder text), most of the locations/NPCs are nonexistent or still in development, etc etc! Regard this as more of a tech demo for the engine. We also have a discord if you want to come fangirl to me personally: https://discord.gg/xqfEsE5FEN
Update: now without extra archive! Halloween event included in main game!

hi! i play on linux and i use dvorak keybindings. im used to wasd games that dont allow custom keybindings (but it would be nice if they were customizable) but the biggest issue is that only a,e, and q work as expected. when i use the w,s, or d keys, nothing happens. so i can get into the menu, i can quit, and i can walk left, and that's it. this game looks really cute and i'd love to be able to play it. i'm using ubuntu and kernel 5.19.0-40
Thank you for trying it out! Tbh these are the kinds of issues I should've expected when making a game from scratch. From what I understand, the inputs are handled via scancodes instead of keycodes, iow it cares more about the physical keys you press than about what they map to, so you can just pretend it's a qwerty keyboard and use ",aoe". Not sure if that helps, but I am rewriting the input code now, so the next version will definitely work ;)
great! yeah i tried ,aoe and that didnt work either. honestly i don't know why ' worked as q and a worked as a and nothing else worked but hey, this is how we learn i guess! can't wait to try it! <3
