I don't want to go to sleep yet
"I don’t really want today to end.
I want to stay in the present, because tomorrow, the future… is another day closer to school."
✦ A short visual novel (around 10 minutes of playtime) about the fear of letting go of the present and facing the future. Made with Ren'Py during summer break right before school started.

DAMNN THIS IS SO GOOD AND DEEP AND EMOTIONAL AND IT MADE ME KIND OF SAD BUT ALSO UNDERSTOOD
AND THE CREATIVITY BEHIND THIS IS INSANE, OMG IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST GAME YOU SHOULD BE SO SO PROUD!!
TYYYY !!!! <3 <3
Amazing as always broski <3
THANK UUU!!!!!
It may have been short, but it was nonetheless a great game. I actually didn't expect the game to hit me emotionally, as I too can relate with Micah A LOT. Insomnia is soooo real, especially when you just know tomorrow isn't going to be as peak as today. Also the fact that this game was released JUST BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS IS EVIL!!! Anyways I love the characters, Micah is the short king, Bonnie has impeccable taste, Elise is just like me for real (but better, like dude no way I'm getting full combo on dif 11 like hello???), and Theo is my homie. Even when the game is supposedly 10 minutes long, they all get their time to shine and left an everlasting impression on me. Couple that with well chosen soundtracks (the best one being the vocaloid one no bias cough cough) and amazing art, I am fully excited for a next game if it ever comes. 9/10
Also, I had some problems with the audio during the arcade section, the sliders didn't really change anything? And at one point (I think it was the part just before the game ends) there was a small grammar mistake with "not longer" instead of "no longer", for the rest I found no problems!
What problems did you have in the arcade section? And did you get the issues from the downloaded ver or the web ver? Both seem to be working just fine on my end (•᷄ᴗ•᷅ ᵕ)
and ohh dear.. I just noticed the grammar mistake too.... I kinda wanna keep it there though because it's my first game,, I feel like imperfections should be celebrated since it's my very very first release and I kind of rushed through it a little to finish before school haha ^_^ but that's all part of the charm i feel like
thank you for all your kind words for my game!!! I really appreciate them ( ;´꒳`;)
I'm glad Micah was relatable. I honestly just wrote about my own feelings and didn't expect so many people to feel the same way... and I've even helped a few people with their insomnia somehow with my silly little game.. it's so heartwarming to hear (╥ ᴗ ╥)
This is so peakness! Short but so amazing? I enjoyed how we got to learn a little more with each interaction. Character design is awesome and I love how Micah’s feelings were portrayed! I really hope you make more games in the future (AND TELL ME) ! Overall 8.5/10 - I loved it, the blurr things b4 each facial expression change put me off (I didn’t bother with settings so that may be on me), I JUST WANTED MICAH TO SLEEP, the way everyone was shown was amazing, art was unique and comforting (to me), and Idk I js rlly liked this 😍.
THANK YOU SO MUCH YUMI!!! I APPRECIATE THE KIND COMMENT!! Will definitely update you on more games I make, thank you so much for liking this one <3
(ALSO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT BLURS BEFORE EACH FACIAL EXPRESSION AND IDK HOW TO FIX IT... MY BAD........ I did add a downloadable version for windows, the loading issue shouldn't be present if you download it I think... THANKS FOR REPORTING THE BUG ANYWAY)
