This game was just...AHHHHHHHH...it was so good!
The group chats were hilarious, and I absolutely loved how all the characters interacted with each other. You could really feel the dynamics and relationships between them, and that’s a huge compliment to every single person who worked on this amazing game.
When I first started, I was convinced I’d fall for Quest, he’s such a cutie and total teddy bear. And while I did love him... falling head over heels for xyx? Yeah, that was not on my bingo card. BUT HOW COULD I NOT?? Ugh. I love him. I adored his humor, his energy, and when he opened up...just... ugh, I’m melting all over again just thinking about it.
Every storyline was a joy, and I genuinely loved everything this game had to offer. It was such a joy from start to finish.
omg im FERAL for Quest
ISTG I DIDN'T EXPECT TO LOVE THIS GAME THIS MUCH 😭 Omg. I love every character so much (especially NakedToaster). This game is like.. one of the best visual novel games I've ever played. Maybe the best? Yes, THE BEST. Thank you for creating this masterpiece! I would literally die for DLC, but I know the chances are slim, so I guess I’ll just have to cope by replaying it over and over again when I miss them ;)
ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES EVER!!! i replay it all the time and im in the discord server :3 toasty and xyx forever <33333
best.game.ever. I limited myself to playing only at night so I could connect more with being the player. UGHH I love all the routes but toaster and xix have a special place in my heart. thank you so much for this game. nothing compares. xoxo
Dang the comments are still active! I remember playing this 3 years ago and usually the comments are dead by now but with a game like this I'm glad there's still a fanbase
Did nakedtoaster just advertise me a game LMAOOO
Quest call me a good girl pls
Is there a way to download on an Android
Gonna pretend like I wasn't obsessing over Quest and chewing on my keyboard the whole time... HE'S SO FINE SUE ME
I'm so glad I found this. Aaaaah, it's so cute! I got xyx's good ending, love that troll. :3 I can't wait to explore the rest!

robobarbie make ONE drawing of my beautiful nakedtoaster and my life is yours
No tengo palabras. Estoy literalmente llorando. Jugué esto desde ayer, inicié a las 10 de la noche, y continué hasta las 6 de la mañana del día siguiente. Dormí un poco, y hace unas horas, a las 6 de la tarde, me propuse hacer la ruta de Toasty. La acabo de terminar ahorita, casi son las 9 de la noche. En total pasé como más de 10 horas en este juego. Ha sido el primer juego al que le dedico tantas horas, una absoluta obra de arte. Cada vez que finalizaba una ruta, lloraba como no tienen idea. El juego es demasiado bueno. Los chicos, todos son demasiado lindos. Mis favoritos fueron Quest y Xyx, pero me encariñé con todos por igual. Los otros miembros del server también les agarré cariño, en especial Salo y June, fueron mis favoritos. Y la novela, terminé agarrandole cariño también. Mientras leía el capítulo final estaba llorando, qué hermoso mensaje. Amé la historia de todos. Ya no sé qué hacer con mi vida ahora que lo terminé. Me encantó. Muy buen trabajo haciendo este juego.
I LOVE THIS GAME SOSOSOOOOO MUCH!! i played all of the characters but i just can't get nakedtoaster's route for some reason i think im missing something can anyone tell me how to get his route too bcz i really want to play it :((( also thanks so so much for creating this game i love it so much all the characters are so well done i cant stop playing it all over again all the time!! :333
it's explained, here it is :
SO UHHH..I am in love w Nightowl fr. I was trying to get a diff ending but I am OBSESSED WITH HIMMMM AGHHH
same
the way he's jealous, my toxic trait love that.
Right?? I mean..😻😻😻
I know this is very late but does anyone know how to fix this??It's been months now and I've got the latest renpy and joiplay and it won't continue during the intro even when I ignore it??
BP was built using an older version of renpy. You need to enable legacy mode in ur joiplay settings to run the game. We dont officially support joiplay but that has made it work for many players who wanted to use it
Could you explain it better? I have the same problem and I don't understand 😭😭😭 plzzz
Okay, it looks like newest versions of joiplay axed that setting, so you might need to go directly to the creators patreon to ask about it. In the meantime, i tested on an old version of joiplay and it works.
download both the old joiplay app and renpy plug-in here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/55240870?utm_campaign=postshare_fan&utm_content=an...
then you can get to the legacy setting here


TYSMM!!! Thanks for the explanation, it was completely helpful.
I really wanted to play this one so I really appreciate it 😭❤️
I love this game so much!! I wish it had merch. I’d buy Toast merch so fast!!!

ykw hell yeah
i just...i just love quest so much
i love this game sm, thank you for making this game
This is one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a WHILE. I found this game trying to look for romance games with good art styles and just fell in love with this one. The art style, the characters, both romanceable and friends, they're all just wonderful. I laughed, I cried, I loved it all so much. xyx is definitely the love of my life but all the routes are just so fantastic. This game is literally better than some games that cost money and I still can't believe this one is for free. Oh also the MUSIC?? I'LL DM U sounds like love to me, I swear. Thank you so much for making this game!!! <3<3<3
Side note, I intended on playing seekL next because the voice actor for xyx is in it, but I didn't realize until now that you guys created that one too and now I'm even more excited to play it!! I just know I'll have the best time.
AHHH I LOVED IT ESPECIALLY THOSE AFTER STORIES <3 <3 <3
i haven't even downloaded the game yet I'm identifying with a character already based on description... someone send help there is no way I'm going to bed on time for work tomorrow ;-;
incredible no notes i need to do it nasty with xyx
