Meet Smith! 24 years old with he/him pronouns, Smith likes plants. That's... Actually all we know about him! We're sure he's very sweet, and nothing bad will happen on your date! He doesn't seem like the clumsy type.
Avery is 22, and uses any pronouns! Cheerful, and maybe a bit of an airhead - though you might think there's nothing going on up there, rest assured that there's more to Avery than what meets the eye!
A cheerful soul with a keen eye and a love for beauty, Cassim is studying to become a successful photographer! Cassim is 22, with he/they pronouns!
And that's all of your current matches! Now we can- wait, what? Who is that? He's not in the database. Who the hell is Roy???

I stumbled on this in my 4am scrolling. For the past HOURS I have been playing different games and not being able to stick to one bc I couldn't sit and read all the dialogue. This game was so short an sweet. I went character to character in order and at first I was lowkey pissed I couldn't romance my blue haired barbie movie enjoyer. But by the end I really ended up loving Roy. All the art is amazing and I just really enjoyed this little game. It lifted my mood for sure! <3
i'm so glad we could lift your mood! Roy is my favorite
don't tell me others;3and i'm so sorry to disappoint with Smith not being properly romancable!! i couldn't really go into depth about it in game as we were running low on time and steam :(
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
Don't worry about not being able to go in depth about Smith. Tbh i feel like it made things a bit more realistic. His story was still really good! :) I even liked the Arson ending >:)
I loved smith route made me laugh so much but good end made me angry how dare he take some1 new to the place i intriduced him too and he knows i go to/frequent smith youll rue the day you rejected me b4 i could *rips shirt open to reveal i am a wolf*
AKLJFSDJDL this is one of my favorite responses to one of my characters ever.
Smith would've loved to be friends but sometimes life just doesn't let things work out :(
what they mean is *gets pulled off stage before I can reveal smith's lore* A AA A A A AAAA A A
please do
sorry for such a late reply, but i got around to adding the link to Smith's character page on toyhouse to my itch profile! if you want a peek at his lore, feel free to check that out! :D
I LOVE ROY AAHHAAJLAQSEQHJR
this is my favorite reaction to roy so far. thank you SDKJGDSSDHGJK
EHEJEWLCC
animated barbie movies enjoyer HELL YEAH
Hilarious, cute, and random (in a fun way ~)! Avery's route was my favorite, but I did enjoy playing through all three. ^_^
this was such a fun game omg!! i would play an entire game just inspired by roy tbh
So glad you enjoyed it! As for a Roy game, that's a thing that may or may not have already been in the works before this jam game lol
🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

Cassim is obviously my favourite of the castGame’s actually got quite a few twists for something so short!Personally liked the good Avery ending most, but damn is ze scary!
