Can you help my queer game about the different forms of love reach 200 wishlists? 🥹👉👈

It has both platonic and romantic love routes and an asexual character! I want to make a game about how impactful and important friendships can be and that romance isn't everything!

This is a game I've poured my heart and soul into. It's been my reason to live for 10 years.

Featuring queer romantic and platonic love routes, a neurodivergent protag, and nearly 30 hours of gameplay.

Pls wishlist!💝
