Honestly, this is one of the best games I know. Short, but that doesn't make it bad in any way. The art style is simple, but unique. And the story... Well, it's certainly something.
I love all the queer stuff, but I have to specifically say that the inclusion of Quakerism caught me off guard (in a good way.) I was raised Quaker and I hold many of the ideals with me now. It's very meaningful seeing such a realistic representation of Quakers in media and it brings a certain nostalgic warmth to remember those parts of my childhood. Thank you!
MY HEART I'M DYINGGGGGG , honestly this was the sweetest thing ever! I might just have to play it again , i cried over this and thats saying something for me. i might just have to go and look at some of your other works!
This was lovely :] Im not usually into visual novels but the artstyle and then the setting caught my eye... And I read this in about 3 hours. Everything was really interesting! The town itself, people living in it, the gangs... and of course our main characters. I also really enjoyed the end, because they indeed dont know each other that much yet. but still they went through hell together, I think no matter what they would stick together, be it as aprtners or friends. I dont have much else to say I just think the story was great :]
I'm not really a huge fan of visual novels but I found this game through twitter and I'm so glad I did! First off this game is gorgeous, the character design is amazing and the art style really made it feel special. The soundtrack is amazing, when it picked up during tense scenes it really added to the vibes! thank you so much for the experience, this game is beautifully made and written. I cant wait to see your future endeavors and I wish you the best of luck! Much love <3
I didn't expect to be this touched by this game. That "lay it on me" line by Joseph really did a number on me! Already voted for the game in the Ursa Major Awards to show how much I appreciate the game and all the love and work put into it. Thank you so much for the experience, game devs!
i played this game back in june (and have been hfx since) but im just here to say congrats on getting into the ursa majors! sadly the game most likely wont win (cult of the lamb and tunic) but im super happy to see its atleast nominated!
This is an amazing game, highly recommend The story is amazing and kept me excited to see what happens next The artstyle here is amazing being honest, i like how it has this style reminiscent of Squigglevision, the outlines shake around a bit and i find that chaming This is a labour of love in my opinion 10/10 game, Amazing premise and visuals, and it isnt very long also, its like around three hours so while long it wont take you a long long time to beat, and i enjoy that fact TL;DR: This game is amazing :)
this whole story was so good :( it gave me the best possible feels and felt like a very truthful and honest depiction of what being a trans person is like for me, who's not used to being affirmed by strangers. it was such a sweet love story and i was completely immersed by the narration and characterization of Robin and really resonated for his yearning for happiness and freedom. this was incredible work! i'll carry this visual novel in my silly little heart from now on! my god it's sooo good!
I played this game when it first came out and adored it. With the recent climate surrounding trans people and how we struggle, I came back to it again and loved it even more. Inclusive games as beautifully made as this deserve more recognition, and I can't thank you enough for making such a perfect and interesting experience
Wow, that was good. If I can work on anything half as good as that in my life I'll be happy haha. Thank you so much for making it! Can't wait to see what you work on next 😊
I absolutely love this game man! I was tearing up so many times while playing it, and the ending... THE ENDING WAS 10x SADDER SINCE IT ENDED 😞 But like fr fr I really love the story, the characters, everything about it
I haven't finished the game yet, but my heart has been melted and my eyes teared up 100 and more times now. This is definetely my fav game on itch.io rn 😭😭
This is the first visual novel I've ever read and I enjoyed it so thoroughly. Nothing felt too unrealistic and the tenderness between pc and Joseph was palpable. I loved it!
God, even though it was predictable, it was such a sweet game, and it really pulled at my heart strings. I am always a sucker for gay cowboys but I think this is easily a new favorite. The characters all have such a personality and I got a strong fondness for near all of them.
10/10, time to force all of my friends to play it /hj
Listen, I'm not saying this rivals Sekiro, I'm just saying played two games from start to end where your role is a one-armed wolf, and only one of them ends with a killer romance, that's all.
For anyone who doesn't know, nominations for the Ursa Major Awards are open until February 11 and, if it gets enough nominations, Lookouts could be up for Best Game.
If you were moved by this game and want to see it get recognition, instructions are here:
I honestly have to say this is one of the best free games i have ever played, its entrapping, The story telling and attention to detail on its own made me shed tears, the true emotion and writing into the characters and their lines and body language was so amazing- this game is worth so much more than its listed as, its worth every penny anyone is able to donate and more; 10/10, and although I finished it rather quickly[2hrs], To put it plain I could play it again right away- its even inspired me to try and get over my recent 6 month art block, thank you dearly readers, writers, and story tellers. -maggot
I came across this game while downloading the newest update for ClanGen and decided to go in completely blind- I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. The art style is beautiful and fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly. All the character designs were great and all the representation was nice to see. :]
This was by far the cutest queer western game I have ever seen.
The characters are relatable and cute and the art style is BEAUTIFUL. The story has depth, the atmosphere is well-made, the music isn't annoying, and it's overall perfect.
There is also an outstanding representation of minorities here. I also like that this is playable on browser, as I can't download it due to my kind of computer.

I’m so happy to play this game, the story is interesting, and the relationship with Robin and Joseph is so cute.
Re-playing this game after a long time, is always the best thing someone could do, that’s what I did.
