LOVED IT! Okay normally I lowkey hate having a sprite but like the story was so engaging? Like I actually didn't care because it was so good? Anyway, good luck on development, willing to help with a kickstarter if you ever have one.

I love the demo!!

I never thought about how hard a game would be to make, like I knew it required a team but I never really thought about it! This game really made me think about it deeper and be even more understandable on why some games take a long time to be updated!

Also, I'm in love with everyone but I think my favourite are Harry and Souma c:

I can't wait -i will- to see the full version of the game!! (btw what does mean 'the game will go commercial'?)

wait is MC voice acted? Is there anyway to turn off her voice?

I really loved this! 

I love the little detail abt the city name "Pangarap" which means "dreams" and also couldn't help but laugh at the start abt the whole "Your internet's slow, but when it's due, you're faster in cutting out the connection!" Side eyeing my internet provider rn fr

I'll be patiently waiting for the full release! ^^

I loved this demo!! I can't wait to play the full game :)

Hello from Brazil! I loved your demo!
It's fun playing this while developing a game, because the MC is so relatable and the discord calls felt so real, it was so fun! The gameplay for writing is cool, I'll play more times to see the options ~ 
Good luck with your project, I hope to see the full game soon

loved the demo but as a corporate girlie, i could not stop laughing when i saw the MC's family name is the same as my manager's lmao

the fact that 3/4 suitors remind me of actual men in my life (including my boss) doesn't help either hahaha but the game is very promising, and i cannot wait to play the full version !

OMG I absolutely LOVE this game, you guys did an amazing job! I finished the demo today and I can't stop thinking about how good it is. The story, characters are realistic, especially the MC who I find relatable and likeable. As a young adult myself I have limited time to pursue my dreams too and do late nights. The game does a great job of portraying challenges we all face. The range of love interests are great and I like how they're all talented but also good looking XD I'm excited to see how the story unfolds!!!

ok i love the game but if alex isn't romancable then why's her voice so attractive😭 she got me blushin with every "my lady"😔

Great demo! I feel like it gives a solid idea of what to expect from the full game. Good luck c:

This demo was amazing! The story felt real and was relatable since I'm someone who hopefully plans on entering the creative industry too one day. Looking forward to new updates!

Serious comment: I loved the game, the visuals, and the different personalities of the characters (Even the coworker at the beginning clearly has their own sense of self and I love it.)

Silly comment: As a QA-human, I am miffed that the game company's programmer IS their QA. That's like saying there's no objective QA. XD

I can't wait for your full game's commercial release, and am totally here for it.

as someone who wants to enter the game development industry this made me so immensely happy !!! participating in a game jam myself has been a goal and dream of mine for the longest time and playing this made me so so happy,, i really love this so much !!! made my heart full and happy

the art, the voice acting, the characters, and the minigames its all the best !! i really enjoyed the relationship the characters had with each other as well parosoft's teamwork was really fun to watch they mean the world to me !! u guys did an incredible job on this thank you so much for your hard work !! i can't wait for full release <3 

Just finished, its gorgeous! I really liked the minigame<3

Everyone did a great job! Looking forward for a full release!!

*i want Alex route so much..*sighs*

I didn't know I could fall in love with a dating sim, BUT OH MY GOD THIS DATING SIM BROKE ANY IDEA OF THAT. From the art style, to the voice acting, to the overall story oh my god I fell in love. 

Even this only being a DEMO?? Oh my god I thought I finished the whole game due to the storyline being already so amazing for just the demo alone. I remember finishing the demo and thinking "wow this was such a good game", until i read this was only a demo AND I GOT SO EXCITED FOR THE THOUGHT OF MORE STORY BEING DEVELOPED. 

Being a young adult just like the MC makes me feel like I'm actually in the game, and I relate to her so much. The uncertainty of future jobs, being stuck in a short-term job so I could just get by (it's like you somehow wrote about my life).

All of the love interests are so interesting, have all amazing personalities that I can't wait to learn more about as the development of this game continues on. Truly I think this game is just so good, and I remember having to just lay down for a bit because of how much I fell in love with this game after playing it, I genuinely felt so full of joy after playing this.

I can't wait for this game to continue updating, and I can't wait to see where the storyline takes the MC, thank you all for such an amazing game! 

I don't know if this was my bias talking, but I LOVED this story so much, it was so relatable and real. Just a bunch of struggling young people coming together, trying to make their dreams come true. I FELT Alice so much - working a dull job trying to make ends meet, as she struggles to fulfill her passions in her free time. Even though she's a successful writer, she isn't able to translate it into any meaningful income.

As a person who both creates and plays games, I was LAPPING UP all of the little details! The P2W vs. F2P battle! The "cozy sim game" vs. "complex narrative game" rivalry! The overscoping on a game jam! The marketing struggles! It is SO clear that this subject matter is near and dear to the writer's heart, and it shows in the details and the execution. 

Each of the characters was so fun to meet, and I loved their group dynamic. While all of the LIs were loveable in their own respects, my favorite was definitely Kris - I am DOWN BAD for childhood friends, and his relentless support of Alice and her dreams is so endearing. However, all of the LIs were very intriguing, and I loved how their dynamics with Alice varied so much! I also really enjoyed the gang of "rivals," they were all very colorful in their own right! I appreciated that the rivals weren't purely "evil" - instead, they were simply that - "rivals" (albeit somewhat rude ones). 

SPOILERS I also appreciated the sensitive subject matter that the team's game ended up covering, and I liked how Alice's experiences were described without being too obvious or triggering. Even though the actual contents of the story aren't described to the player, the writer skillfully included many hints about Parasoft's VN's content and the ultimate message. I also appreciated how Alice steadfastedly stated that she wanted to cover this topic - because of her own experiences and to help others like her. 

I loved the choice for the sprite art, and the CG art was so cute as well! The backgrounds are colorful and dynamic, and the UI was sleek, minimalistic, and attractive. The minigame was fun and well implemented, and I enjoyed puzzling out what vocabulary fit which love interest (and thought it suited the "writing" theme very well). The VA performances were great and made the story so much more lively and fun! 

Overall, this was FANTASTIC! I'm looking forward to future updates! Great work!

i love this game

This is so interesting! Game jam game about game jam and game dev. Their team sounds like a fun bunch. 

Also...Get Employed. Ouch XD

Love this! Fantastic demo, I am hooked! I can't wait for the full game. Really great work! 

the AARRTTTT and writing is SO good! Thanks for your work!

This game really hit close to home in so many ways!! I really loved the game development theme; as a game developer myself, it was really refreshing to see it in a story and with so many characters that are slowly entering (or re-entering) that world. The fact that it was fully voice acted was also really cool and made it all the more immersive! It really felt like watching a movie at times with how natural the conversations went. It felt like the characters really were a group of passionate people with a dream to succeed in game development as a team. 

I especially related to Alice: game writer, struggling to find a job in the industry while momentarily being in a different one to pay the bills, even the studio apartment thing lmao. The colored butterfly mechanic was certainly an interesting and creative way to direct you to the different guys' scenes. This makes me wonder how the visual novel choices affect the story, though, or if they both play a part in the affection points. It left me intrigued!

The game jam event really made me want to be in one like that. I've been in irl game jams before too, but they were much much smaller and didn't have any prizes. Maybe one day! 

I have to admit the Alexis group got a bit on my nerves when they acted pompous but that's probably intentional since even some of the characters got mad xDD I can especially understand Souma's feelings bc of what happened to him, I honestly would be really upset too.  

Looking forward to the full game. Great job!! <3

This looks really good! 

I love this visual novel already just based on the demo! I think that themes of the plot as well as the background stories of all the characters are reflective of many struggles that people can face in the real world. I also like that the writing mini-game and especially how it ties in to gaining more affection with the love interests. The MC is wonderful and I love that she loves otome visual novels (because they are my favorite too!) Thank you for the wonderful game -- I look forward to see what Izumi Games will bring forth in the future!!

goshh i loved this so much!! i loved the twins so much! sasuke is so cute but like- his brother is also amazing :O also as a filipino when i saw the word "pangarap" i immediately thought of the word 'dream' and i wondered if you were filipino or used a translator i thought it was pretty cool though :D

Contains a few of my favorite things in VN's like a fair amount of choices, minigames, an animated intro, and most important of all, a positive message that helps the player grow.

Keep the good work!

hope next can be playable on android ehe~

omg, the story is so realistic and I really love the description of the feeling of Mc🥹I love the characters so much, I wish I could make a game with a team of ikemen too!!!💕💕💕can’t wait to play the full version!

Just finished the demo and I am in love with the cast of characters, the sprite work, the visuals, the pacing, the story—really just everything! It's simple yet endearing and it satisfies everything I didn't even know I wanted. This is the first game I've ever played where I want to read ALL the routes because I adore ALL the romanceable characters! The side characters and main cast are all so alluring in their own ways whether it be their designs or personalities and their relationships with the other cast members. I hope we can get a full version! I'd gladly back a kickstarter for it if you made one!

I love this game so much, the problems that the MC faces is very realistic and shows the struggles and difficult decisions that people have to make when entering the game industry. Personally, I relate to the MC a lot and you depicted her struggles and inner conflicts so well. The game itself holds a beautiful message about chasing your dreams in the game development industry, but at the same time it warns that the journey is not all sunshine and rainbows. Thank you for creating this game. I am definitely looking forward to the full version!

Omg (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`) the concept is so intriguing
