WAIT! You can't love me! - DEMO
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
⋆｡°✩⋆｡°✩ Story⋆｡°✩⋆｡°✩
For all of your academic career, you were always second best to Satoshi Fujihara. And while you seemed to care too much about it, he never seemed to care at all. In your final semester of community college together- he suddenly says he's going to confess to you in four days!
Do you choose to accept his feelings, or is this going to be the one time you can get the upper hand on him?
⋆｡°✩⋆｡°✩ Characters⋆｡°✩⋆｡°✩
- Obnoxiously smart, aloof, hopelessly in love, hella sleepy
- His introverted nature could come across as him being shy- when actually he just doesn’t really know how to interact with people.
- Ever since high school he’s had a crush on you, but didn't want to deal with any awkwardness. With the horizon of your transfer looming, Satoshi decides to go out of his way for once and ask you out. Not wanting you to be nervous, he lets you know beforehand that he will be confessing.
- Unfortunately that’s not really how it should go but he doesn’t know that.
- Incredibly stubborn, incredibly dense
- You're diligent, headstrong, and have solidified dreams you want to pursue post graduation from C4. A little snarky but you're kind to those you care about.
- Throughout high school, you were always labeled as “second best” compared to Satoshi. You have a lot of pent up resentment towards him because he never seemed to care about his successes despite you wanting him to so badly.
- You think his carefree attitude towards his studies is some level of spite towards you.
- Elias Bolkiah - 5'8" - Same age as MC - June 7th - 491/524
- Your childhood best friend with an unreasonable amount of hatred towards Satoshi.
- "What did that prick do now?"

- Considers themselves in a best friend trio with you and Elias. Questionable whether you feel the same.
- "Maybe it was fate!"
- Paden Canmore - 5'5" - One year younger than MC - June 1st - 45/120
- Couldn’t care less about your love life but feels dragged into it because he likes that Lilit includes him in their gossip.
- "I see. I’ll leave you two to it then."
- Couldn’t care less about your love life but feels dragged into it because he likes that Lilit includes him in their gossip.
- Yamato Suzuki - 5'9" - 49 - January 17th
- Your statistics professor and advisor for the art club. Cares for his students like they're his own children.
- "If you’re just going to use my desks as a bed, you’re best not showing up at all!"

Has the release date been extended again?
Hello! :D At the moment we are still set to release in February, I'm just waiting on a few assets and some fixings to roll in. Thanks for following <3 !
If you hate him so much, why do you keep talking to him?
I get it when it's just being polite, or acting nice the way you would to a random hobo. (If you are the type to do that.)
Like showing him the way to the pharmacy or waking him up in class.
But why on EARTH would you not just drop him off and then leave him there?
It makes NO sense! o_O
(Unless you picked the choices to be friendlier and actually considered liking him, obviously.
But I'm working on the premise that you hate him the first time around. Tho he's growing on me. lol
Probably because I could never hate someone who's better at me at something...it's an admirable trait.)
...I'm also starting to think he's a masochist, since I insult and hurt him at every turn and he still says he has a nice time. xD
I'll defiantly give it a new run-through where I'll be nicer tho. Something that doesn't happen too often --I rarely change my opinions once I've made them.
And for all my nitpicking I actually really like this game.
The artwork is good, and the characters are interesting.
I halfway regret not naming the mc Hermione Granger. xD
Regardless, I look forward to see the next update of this game.
I love having the choice to hate him (choices in general, the more the better), but I am also curious about what a potential happy ending could be.
(I also wonder if he'll cry if you turn him down. lol)
And I wonder if he's spending every second of his day and night studying JUST so he can impress you, and boy how it backfired.xD
I also wonder if the ending will be defining.
(Like... if you choose to say yes, you'll have a life with more fun and not just studying, but enjoying life, and finding self-respect in someone other than your parent's options.
Same if you say no because you realize you're in love with your best friend instead. He'd probably convince you to relax way too much tho. Like, maybe you'll drop out of school but you'd be happy. lol
While if you say no because you have to study he'll wait until after college and try again or something. And you'll have a more balanced school/work romance thing.
And if you just reject him you get stuck as a high-achiever with no love-life and end up dying alone and whatnot.)
It would be more impactful at any rate.
I guess I have to wait to find out.^_^
I really, REALLY like this so far. Satoshi is both cute and sad and i appreciate that you can make the MC not be mean to him (i...do not like playing a mean character in these ;-;) im excited to see how the story goes!
Aaaa thank you thank you! Your words are so kind ;w; I hope day 2 is just as enjoyable haha <3
That was cute!Looking forward to day two.
Does anyone knows when will the game be updated? I'm really excited for day 2!!!!
Hello! I'm so sorry to say, but day 2 is going to be delayed for the for a small bit :( I just put out a devlog explaining the situation </3
I'm excited for day two
Me too! It's looking to be a beefy update- not just with new story but with updated visuals too hehe
i literally love this game
The concept sounds a lot like a pretty famous anime, Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances). That anime is a classic and really great. So the concept you have is a good one!
I loved that so much. I had to go back and play all the different dates to get all the current content sadhfksj. Really looking forward to the rest of the days!
Very nice game, cozy experience. Hope to see it grow into something great!
my fault mistype.dating sims aren't really my thing but from a game development perspective this is a pretty good and well thought out game.
First of all, I really appreciated the variety on how the Day 1 date would go based on which club activity the MC chose, so props to that!
I can understand and relate to the MC's inner turmoil but on the other hand I am also already extremely in love with Satoshi sooo... you could already guess which path I'm going to take LMFAOOO I could never do anything to hurt this cutie!
This demo was so cute and wholesome, (I can already see the amount of potential angst on the horizon lol) I can't wait to see more of Satoshi and MC!! <3
AAA !! Thank you, THANK YOU so much for playing and enjoying the game :D !
Satoshi and the other guys have been running around in my head for a long long time and I'm happy to have finally put one of their stories out there hehe! MC's personal journey is one very close to my heart and I hope to deepen further later on.
Unfortunately the angst is not potential it is destined. I hope you stick around! Day two is already fully planned out and full of silly (and dramatic) character moments :3
