Reviews:

I really hope that you guys make more games like this, as I truly enjoy playing these kinds of games—interspecies romances in which a monster, dinosaur, cat person, dog person, etc.—where they are interested or will fall in love with a human. In addition, this game has the most satisfying plot that anyone could have imagined; it's wholesome but also incredibly sad and relatable to some.Overall, I give it a perfect 100 out of 100. The character designs are adorable and their interactions are hilarious at times. sadly, these kinds of games put me into a trance because I'm constantly curious about what would happen to the characters as I imagine that their daily lives go on just like any other, which left me feeling sad and tranced. I felt like there could have been more, but overall, I really enjoyed the game. Thanks.

Currently in a depressive phase, this visual novel moved me in a way I can hardly describe. I experienced a real adventure and became so attached to each of the characters, sharing intimately in each of their emotions. It was a storm of happiness that rocked me throughout this magnificent tale, and reaching the end of this novel was, for me, a form of mourning. It was such a unique experience, the fact that I won't be able to discover more of this universe breaks my heart but creates unforgettable memories. Thank you for everything, Cavemanon team. I beg you, give us more, your work is so far one of the most beautiful and authentic experiences of visual novel that I've had the opportunity to live, whether through graphics, music or writing.Thank you again, I can't praise you enough. I selfishly wish you all the success your indie projects can bring you. I can't wait to see if your next works will be as powerful and sweet as this one.

Bravo Team Cavemanon! Whatever peak you sought, you reached it and then flew over it! I've clocked an easy 12 hours playing and replaying this game over this weekend. Starting out with the d and bought the full version quickly after. Getting the "Bad End" was probably the biggest motivator in that binge. I couldn't just leave it like that. Felt like I owed it to the characters. That all said, what a ride man! I really hope this just Cavemanon's epic start in the world of gaming. Because you guys make diamonds. Absolutely worth the price of admission guys, if you are thinking of buying it. I know I didn't regret it! 

Never really tried this type of stuff before. I was on iFunny they were recommending it which for iFunny standards is unusual but besides that my first hour I was absolutely lost in it. I couldn't stop hell I was having this on the side when I was playing a game at the time and I stopped immediately to continue this. The story the character development the art I'm at a lost for words. This game has made me feel emotions i can't even express in words. I want more damnit but there probably won't be anymore which makes me sad. I'm glad got to play this game. I'll never forget it. 10/10.
