this was such a cute game and I LOVE the pixel art style!!!!!!! I definitely relate to MC having a hard time asking for help and worrying about being a burden :,) was not expecting to be called out like that lmao but that just meant Lucas' comfort was even more meaningful <3

I would absolutely love to see more in the series as you mentioned in your after credits note!

(+1)

Iโ€™m glad you like the art, friend!! ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’ž Also glad that MC was relatable LOL (sorry for the call-out ehe ๐Ÿ˜‚)

The second game in the Insomnia Series is in development right now, actually! Thereโ€™s a lot of things I need to tweak and finish, but Iโ€™d love to finish it sometime this year!

(+1)

oooh yes I can't wait ๐Ÿ‘€

(+3)

I love this! I'm an insomniac myself so this is really comforting. I can see myself going back to this game and the pixel art is gorgeous.

Iโ€™m happy to hear that this game was able to comfort you! And donโ€™t worry, Lucas will be waiting patiently if you do decide to come back! ๐Ÿฅบ ๐Ÿ’™

(+2)

Super comforting! Exactly what I needed at the moment. The music choices especially just fit the vibes, but the funniest little tidbit is you accommodating him while texting. Actually made me soft for the man. Thank you for creating this!!!

So glad to hear that, seriously!! Iโ€™m glad I was able to provide you with what you needed, my friend ^^ I know I wrote it and all, but the texting part gave me a little giggle fit too omg. Accommodating the elderly is important, after all ๐Ÿ˜Œ (Iโ€™m bullying Luc, sorry adnhjf) But yeah! Thank you for playing and enjoying Lucas!! <3

(+2)

LUCAS SO SWEET T_T<3

(+2)

God, I loved this game so much T^T

The fact that it did made me sleepyyy

I'd be more than pleased to play much more scenarios!!

(+2)

...I don't know what to say...THIS IS ADORABLE! SO CUTE! and yeah it made me sleepy so...perfect. Especially the background music <33

Thank you, friend!! ๐Ÿฅบ If it made you sleepy, then the game accomplished its goal LOL. Iโ€™m happy to hear that!

(+1)

such a cute game!! luc is soo handsome i love him (AND THE AFTERSTORY?!?!? ASDFGHJK) def looking forward to your other games <3

(+1)

I really enjoyed this waaa... it's so relaxing (though the after story part got me blushing and kicking my feet....). In terms of the art and UI, it's very cute, I like it. The writing takes the cake, I loved it so much :3!!!!

(+1)

If the game was able to relax you then thatโ€™s an added bonus ^^ (in addition to the after story flustering you ๐Ÿ‘€)

It makes me really happy to see my players enjoying the things I put effort into, so I really appreciate your comment!! Thank you so much! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

(+2)

This was such a lovely story !! Lucas is a wonderful character, and the relationship between him and MC felt so natural. The overall vibes were so cozy, and I even feel a bit sleepy myself after playing the game :D The after story was a perfect treat ehe

Thank you for the game!!

(+1)

Hehe, you have no idea how happy it makes me to read this, my friend ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ Iโ€™m glad you enjoyed Lucas and the game was cozy! (Especially if it made you a little sleepy ๐Ÿ˜Š)

Youโ€™re very welcome! Thank you for playing, again!

(+1)

aaaa this was such a joy to read through. it was so simple and sweet, i truly needed it <3 also i would love the different scenarios idea with lucas!! he's so sweet he deserves it. thank u for this game!

Lucasโ€™ purpose has been fulfilled then if heโ€™s met your needs! Youโ€™re very welcome, my friend, and thank you for playing, once again!! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’™

(+2)

This was so good I am in tears, Lucas my beloved <3

(+3)

I love this game so much! As an insomniac, I would love to have such a sweet boyfriend like Luc :C

It was short BUT, very sweet like Lucas himself. Honestly, the thought of different sweet scenarios that we could have with Lucas is great (I'm already imagining him taking care of us when we're down with a cold)

We'll support you for whatever you've got planned. I really hope that your plans for making this into a series will happen! Thank you so much for this experience, Himebee ^o^

I'm glad you enjoyed my game so much, friend!! (And that you liked Lucas a lot, by extension :3)

Ah but sadly, I didn't plan on making a sequel or anything for Lucas specifically, I wanted it to be an Insomnia Series with a different guy each time ^^ Although... After seeing how much people have enjoyed him, I may consider making a little spinoff for Lucas, if I have the time ๐Ÿฅฐ 

Again, thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it!! 

(+4)

This game is a masterpiece. It's kind of ironic how I downloaded it because I couln't sleep because of my insomnia. Yes, it was kinda short but enought for me to enjoy while drinking some warm milk. I cannot lie Lucas made my heart flutter. Anyway this game was awesome and I'm giving it 10/10. I hope it's not your last project because this one was great! Keep up the good work!

I sure hope you were able to get some rest after playing, my friend! I'm also happy to know you enjoyed Lucas a lot ๐Ÿ˜Œ Rest assured that my next project is already in the making and I'd like to have it done by the end of this year! When that time comes, I hope you'll be able to enjoy it ^^ Thank you so much for playing!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

(+2)

This was a lovely short piece, very relaxing.

(+2)

omggggg i love him so much, also like- the very end melted my soul and yeah- idk i love his design and personality and everything. i love it all. soundtrack is amazing too! 

I'm so glad so many people like his design and whatnot! Thank you for playing, my friend, and thank you so much for the lovely comment!! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ 

(+2)

This was so cute, I love how he talked to the fem mc in such a sweet and loving manner, awwwww

(+3)

I've fallen in love...

I wish I could have my own Lucas lol. This was a wonderful, short little pick-me-up of a game >w< Tbh when I first started playing, I expected a horror game because of the name lol but I was pleasantly surprised. The romance was real between Heroine and Lucas lemme just say. The writing was chef's kiss. If you decide to make this into a series, you've got a loyal follower!!

(+1)

Omg I never even thought that the title was kinda horror-y, but I can definitely see it now LMAO 

Horror/romance is pretty interesting though... ๐Ÿ‘€ But hey, thank you so much for playing! I hope I can deliver with my next game! (Whenever I get around to it... ๐Ÿ˜ฉ)

(+2)

oh my... i just fell in love with this man. wish i could have a Lucas too <3 

(the afterstory tho, i died that was veerrrry nice :D

(+1)

If I could, I'd give all of my players their very own Lucas ๐Ÿฅบ Thank you so much for playing my game!!! 

(Hehe, I'm glad you enjoyed it! ;D)

(+1)

guh.. m-my heart......

(+1)

this was really sweet, a good read for a tired and melancholy late night. your artwork is incredible, and thank you for making this!

(+1)

in love with this little game <3

(+1)

ngl i wish i had more of lucas :(

(+1)

I loved this, first of all, that music is absolutely fantastic. I was looking at "about Lucas" and the music did a thingy which I thought was a secret remix it was very cool.

I wish the game was a bit clearer, I did the story! Oh the story! Hold on, let me talk about that duck. I think the void in the duck's heart might be because he finally accomplished what he had dreamed for so long and he just didn't have any other dreams (i.e he was lacking a purpose). Okay, back to being clear, I finished both of the two options and uninstalled the game, then I came to write a review and saw there was an afterstory, installed the game again. I wish it was more clear that there were more things to be unlocked, you know?

That afterstory image is really cute, I like the scrolling type of reading. He is the man I want to be with

(+1)

Awww, thank you so much for playing and enjoying my game! I also really appreciate your comment ^^

Okay, to address your issue in regard to things being made clear, I actually listed the afterstory and unlockable option on the game's page and details (mainly because I figured not everyone would replay it a third time)! Also, that's an interesting theory on the duck! I'm always happy to hear the player's thoughts ๐Ÿ‘€ 

Lastly, Lucas loves you too! ๐Ÿ’–

(+3)

Help me-- I've fallen down bad for Lucas, it ain't even fair how absolutely wonderful he is and how gorgeous he looks-- Not only that but the man knows how to treat and love you right-- LUCAS MY BELOVED YOU MAY EXIST INSIDE THE SCREEN BUT YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE ON THROUGH MY HEART!!!!

Also, the fact that everything was just slow and calm really was a nice change of pace, especially how comfy everything was and how the dialogue shared between MC and Lucas felt so domestic and cute, despite MC's self-deprecation, really looking forward to more of your visual novels, especially with an MC being pampered hehehe~!

(+1)

HEHE DON'T WORRY, LUCAS LOVES YOU TOO! ๐Ÿ˜Š
Your comment gives me such valuable feedback that I definitely will take into consideration while I'm making my next game in the Insomnia Series! Thank you so much, my friend, and especially thank you for playing my game!! <3 

(+2)

AAAA LUCAS LOVES ME-- Ehehm ehem sorry for that but knowing that another game is following within the Insomnia Series is gonna give me toothache from the fluff and make my cheeks hurt because I'm so excited for it! Looking forward to see what plot comes up next and what sort of lovely person will be there by your side ehhehehe

(+2)

WOW. I love this game so much >///<. I'm so happy I stumbled upon it. I enjoyed it. Thank you!

I adore the pixel art and Lucas?... Not gonna lie, I took too many screenshots of him haha. Can't help myself, the art is gorgeous.

And the post message? I was touched by it, that's so sweet :)) You're the real MVP for making this game. I'll definitely play your upcoming games in the future!

p.s. can I ask how Lucas and MC met? 

(1 edit) (+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed the game so much, my friend! And I'm also glad you like Lucas so much, hehe ๐Ÿ˜Š I appreciate all the feedback and sweet words, seriously!!

Hmmm... Originally, I had planned to leave it up to the players and their own HC's ๐Ÿค” But if I had to say, MC and Lucas would have met at a bakery :>

(+2)

OMG

Lucas is too good to be even in Fictional form T///T and everything here so matches his vibe too, the music, the art, the mood, and the tone.

Now I'm so eagerly looking forward to your future work ( 0w0) best relaxing otome ever!!!

Hehe, I'm glad you like Lucas so much, my friend! ๐Ÿฅฐ And thank you for such a nice comment!! I'll do my best to provide in the future as well! 

(+2)

OMGosh this was such a joy to play! Not only am I smitten with Lucus but the art and backgrounds are absolutely gorgeous! I love having an older boyfriend for once (as an old lady myself) This was such a wonderfully cozy experience and beautifully well made! I'll post a link to the video once it's up, I would also like to do a separate reading of the after story IF that's alright with you?

(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words!! ๐Ÿ˜Š I can't wait to see the video! And a separate reading is perfectly fine by me, my friend!! Again, thank you! ^^

(+1)

Just finished and I loved it (and the hot dilf)!!! If you do make this in a series I will def play every single game :))

(+1)

I do plan to make this into a series eventually, so I should thank you in advance! ๐Ÿฅฐ I appreciate your comment! 

(+1)

Sobbing because I love this man so much...

I always love older love interests, and I just fell in love with Lucas. He's so sweet and soft, it makes my heart warm AND THAT AFTERSTORY IS SUCH A TEASE HOT DAMN

(+1)

I'm happy that you enjoyed Lucas so much! That's one of the best compliments a creator could receive honestly! (HEHE, teasing is my specialty ๐Ÿ‘€)
