theres a bug in day 2, when i search for the email in secretsmooch the table is blank, not WRONG/ERROR just blank and i cant get past it :/

can u pls provide what u typed for ur query?

I already LOVED Blooming Panic, replaying it today before I cracked down and finally played this one and I loved hearing XYX's voice on such another fun and heartfelt character. The writing hits so good every time, and it's so fun falling for the antics of the other side characters in the group that it always leaves me wanting more cause I'm never ready to give it up by the end <3

AMAZING GAME I LOVE THIS STYLE OF GAME. Also it really felt like i was chatting with people, some other games have this fake-ish feeling to them. NOT THIS GAME THO. It felt realistic and I freaked out when I got the SeekLove ending YAHHAHAHHAHAH

hiii, this is my first time commenting on itch.io! but i'm having trouble on day 3 of the game. i have the code typed in correctly (the one where you're trying to find who is lying to the irs) and the info that i need pops up but the game isn't progressing like it once was with dialog. idk if it's a glitch or if it's something that i'm doing

can u pls provide what u typed for ur query?

(1 edit)

i had more or less copied what was on the "cheat sheet" page that was provided of the answers for the coding

(+2)

(+2)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THISSSSS!!! 10/10 GAME, IT MIGHT'VE TAKEN ME LIKE 4 HOURS BUT IT WAS WORTH IT CUZ I GOT THE SEEKLOVE ENDING ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

(+1)

omg this was a great game THE TRACK AT THE END WAS SO SILLY

(+1)

i love the game! but idk how to do the coding at day 3 T_T

(+4)

i am not expecting the endings! specially the third one (seekLove) my eyes were blessed i literally had to flung myself away from my laptop in pure flustered state wahahaha (ps. i screamed in surprise wtf).


about the game i loved it very much. i thanked my little knowledge in IT  (I stopped at 3rd year due to financial prob.) some were hard for me to process but i enjoyed it hahahha it's like you're really part of the hacking process. will totally play it again and again.

(+2)

stuck on day 2 with the marriage part. i looked into the coding guide and typed it out, executed the code and get a list of names under spouse_name. after that i don't know what else to do. really want to continue the game (T.T). help

can u pls provide what u typed for ur query? and a screenshot of what the last chat in the game was?

(+4)

Great game!! The soundtrack is excellent, and I laughed at so many dumb comments while playing it. Here's some of my favorite chat moments.







I loved the way the title transformed into different endings. I learned some SQL, exec horn(), and got odxny to seekLife. Fantastic art (especially the little custom emojis), surprised me with the voice acting too! I had lots of fun. :]

(+2)

This game is my roman empire now.
LOVE IT SO MUCHHHHH

(+2)

I love this game. The overall aesthetic is incredible and I loved the calls with odxny. I have to work a lot with SQL, but I am glad there wasn’t a penalty for false queries, because damn did I manage to overlook a lot of typos. The “hacking” was a lot of fun as were the funny conversations in the chat.

(+1)

100% recommend this game!! some hacking bits stressed me out in the beginning but i eased into it p quickly. got so attached to the characters i was sad the game ended

(+2)

I really loved this game! The chat made it feel like you're actually just hanging out late at night in a chatroom with strangers. <3 
I laughed, I cried, I will keep this in my memory forever. <3

(+4)

I REALLY LOVE ODXNY AAAA 😭😭 I CAN'T PLAYING THE GAME

whenever i click on a save or click load at the start screen my game closes.. help i can only start from the beginning

i have a fix here that I never uploaded to the game page lol

i cried a little at the end ngl, it's such a good story from beginning to end. I had never played a game that made me work as hard as this one, and it was fun to do it since it is immersive and makes you feel part of the whole thing. i need a sequel because lowkey want to see everyone interact again lol 

SO TRUEEEE, i too long for the sequel:(((

(+2)

so i cried a little this was amazing

XYX MY BELOVED, I can hear my man wherever I go, jk. But honestly Mike Young did such a great job, for both characters. Even though the voices are almost the same, the personalities are pretty much different and kudos to them for that.

(+1)

I find game. I am trash at writing code, though v experienced in editing code just due to IT stuff, but generally have major issues keeping syntax straight across so many languages.  Worriedly click button to see what language the coding minigames will be in.

I CAN SQL QUERY ALL DAY, YEEEEEEAAAAAAAA! The singular code I have experience writing day in and out due to ridiculous query requests/metrics templates/big boss want pretty number tables from users.  Thank goodness, I am allowed to enjoy this game. :D

(+1)

Oomf. This was incredibly cute. And it really emulated silly nerd chat interactions so freaking well, while still retaining everyone having a distinct style and personality to make it easy to differentiate.  I wish there was more to the epilogue, but thats just because it was all so very good.


Thank you!

(+3)

oh odxny the things i would do to for you

(+2)

man just, incredible.. like the fact that the game its not only click and read and click makes you feel so into the experience, 10/10

(+1)

can u play as a male?

(+3)

I think MC isn't gendered. Nothing personal about MC is revealed because of the privacy of the server.

(+3)

Finally got around to playing this, and I can proudly add another fictional man onto my list of things to drool over. And I don't even have a name LOL

Loved the little tidbits of sql as well (and the arnoldc - that was a rabbit hole) 

the writing is so endearing and I got to give props to the phenomenal VA, cause WOW.

actually so good and fun, made me smile and laugh out loud!

(1 edit)

hey, i wanted to know for some reason the game isn't working, i can't get passed the contact part on day 2 i put in the right thing but the answer is just all ----- repeated. if anyone knows how to fix this that would be great, thanks!

In the "where" section type in: "where full_name = 'bruce johnson'". I made a similar mistake, you don't have to add a "_" in between bruce and johnson.

I didn't do that, but thanks for trying to help!

okay holy wow. a masterpiece. gods you've got me hooked on this game >< it was so so good! very unlike anything i've played before. Not to mention, OD IS SO HOT I was very much tweaking every time he appeared. This is such a well-made game, thank you devs. This has got to be one of my fav games now, I loved it very much.

(+2)

this has been the best game ive played in my life ngl. SeekL has actually gotten me into coding and i just created my own simple game the other day because i realised how fun coding could be. i love all the characters,  every person had depth and i love how each character has different motives for their final hacks. this game has changed my life no joke. a few times i ignored admin chat so i could continue the code i was that invested. sometimes it was hard, but thats what makes it fun! you rlly have to read the chat to understand. i love how odxny didnt go off the grid and started being happy again at the end because of the character we play as. i also love how natrual everything feels, like people are actually there, typing behind the screen. the humor,spelling and wordplay was the best ive seen in a game. if i had money i would pay however much to play this game again for the first time. i loved this. changed my life.

10/10 would reccomend to my MOTHER

U SPEAKING FAXXXX

(+1)

i loved it!! i did feel a bit bittersweet though at the ending- maybe a dlc of some kind could be made im so sure sm ppl would play it. i really found the coding in this game fun and this was honestly such a unique and refreshing concept!!!

NGL it was good until the ending... it would have been better to have one last chat with the love interest or to get closer to them or something. felt a bit anticlimactic

(+1)

Have you tried doing the seeklove ending? i think that ending sums it up perfectly

(+2)

I NEED A SEQUEL THIS WAS SO GOOD PLEASE. I LOVE IT SOME MUCH THO I DID FEEL A BIT BITTERSWEET
