that would be too convenient honestly, with what was described of how Cyrus looks like and how the different the world setting is, I'm starting to doubt that his memories are even real.
I am truly compelled to rate this game but I am holding back as much as I can until the game peaks and choices are unveiled.
At first I was very skeptical about this. With the kind of bland-ish opening, I was weighing if I should close the game and pick a different one. but the transition from a mysterious to normal, to mysterious scenario again got my attention.
I pushed through and next thing I know there are progressive character exchange, slow build up of personality, past and history, and level of mutual understanding combined with a massive amount of doubt, possibilities, circumstances, and action-reaction through their journey; and with that, the opening felt like a calm before the storm.
A storm so massive; beautiful and destructive you'll be swept away and leave you begging for the more. More interaction, more events, more about the world, the past, the present and future that awaits them.
This VN has left me raging on my keyboard and filling my head with so much theories and assumption and I'm just an emotional turmoil right now from the amalgamation of everything I've read and felt to the point I could almost feel myself standing there just listening to how animated these two characters converse and go about their ways.
Now I'm pretty sure this is sounding like a Comment on Rating but its not. Not yet, you guys already got my full undivided attention and my heart soars from the story telling, the art and the music. I truly wish for the success of this VN and for everyone else working in this project.
I'm not gonna say "keep doing a great job" but rather "Keep doing what you guys are doing" because you guys are rocking this already.
haa... only visual novel's helping me cheer up in this sad and lonely world. Damion is so sweet. i wish i could have someone like him in the future. and another amazing update! thanks !
No no no no no no, this is not okay. I felt like this was the case, but you can't do this to me brah. I'm not crying I swear somebody be cutting onions in the kitchen.
Sooo...this is not an NSFW VN ? cuz MC is Asexual In the shower scene, I think the MC is used to do it for his bf that he didn't realize how awkward this is or just bad writing, idk. But I still like the VN overall
Ace here. I think since he doesn't realize how awkward it is for Cooper because for him it isn't. It's just making sure a fellow male doesn't smell bad after the bath.
Liked this new update for the most part and I don't want to be rude but it did have a very uncomfortable and consent violating section that you try to play off as cute.
Spoilers..
The scene in question is the bath scene and there are a lot of problems with it. First, you reveal Cyrus is asexual but then you use his asexuality as a "Strip and let me touch you naked, I'm asex so it doesn't mean anything lol" type of moment. Not only does this feel like a rather creepy excuse to touch someone naked, but you even go out of your way to show Cooper's hesitancy.
Cooper repeatedly tries to make excuses to get out of this scenario, even wanting to change away from Cyrus's sight, but you make Cyrus keep insisting on it. If this scenario was about Cooper refusing to eat his vegetables that would be fine, but Cyrus incessantly demanding that Cooper get naked right in front of him?
No, that isn't cute. At no point during the conversation does Cyrus realize that even if he is asexual, that doesn't mean everyone around him is ok with him seeing their genitals. It comes off that you don't really care about Cooper's consent and clear discomfort with the situation, and then you try to fix it in the end by having Cooper act like nothing was wrong and he is ok with this when not even 10 seconds ago he was giving any excuse to avoid this and not change naked in front of Cyrus.
Even if Cooper were fine with the situation from the beginning, why would you have Cyrus trying to spring this situation as a "surprise" in the bathroom.
Again, I still like this project but that scene really rubbed me the wrong way. Perhaps instead the scene could play out as:
Cyrus notices smell -> Tells Cooper to take a shower -> Cooper throws a fuss, says he has trouble reaching certain areas -> Cyrus politely offers to help, doesn't act pushy -> Cooper considers it, then accepts of his own will -> Rest of scene plays normally.
That way you can still have the cute bath picture moment without making the scene feel uncomfortable.
I think you're reading a bit too into this, when I first read this, I hadn't played through the scene yet and it got me really worked up. For one, Cooper only asked Cyrus to turn around because he felt uncomfortable changing in front of someone he didn't know (given kind of weird that you don't mind being naked in front of someone you don't know but honestly, people be weird like that, as in they are comfortable with their own body enough to not care). For two, from the transition we can extrapolate that a conversation was had about it, we just got to see the tail end of it, so Copper had plenty of opportunities to flat out say no to Cyrus's assistance. For three, his 'reluctance' is more like a kid begrudgingly doing the homework that isn't graded, he doesn't see the point to a bath because it doesn't bother him.
Maybe i don't remember it exactly but my problem with that scene was different. It felt too robotic. Like "Oh btw idc about your junk, i'm ace", "oh ok".
Like in real life that's not what happens.. Something like cooper joking he's just lying because he wants to see him naked is way more realistic.
It also confuses the audience a bit. In the same minute, we are told the mc is asexual, meaning we probably won't get lewd scenes because asexuality usually means you don't like sex, but in the same second we see cooper's junk.
It doesn't. Asexuality means you don't experience sexual attraction. Meaning, you don't get involuntary neurochemical signals labelled as sexual desire in response to stimuli. Some asexual people absolutely do enjoy sex, others don't. And some allosexual people don't enjoy sex.
Well yes, but there are several kinds of attraction, sexual attraction being the kind that asexual people don't experience. And he doesn't even necessarily need to find Cooper attractive to enjoy sex with him.
just do what i do, panic about life for around 2 weeks at the start of the month, realize life exists and then you only gotta wait like one week or a week and a couple days!
the ending just confused the hell out of me...omg. this was actually a painful cliffhanger. is cyrus a whole different person? if not then what happened to his hair etc?
Well I think it might be a parellel world, which means HUMAN and CYRUS are two different but somehow relative person. This makes them exchange their souls through some method such as a short sleep.
Someone in the discord said their issue (same as yours) was due to not having enough space on their phone. Perhaps it's the same for you? Once they freed up some space it downloaded and played just fine.
So excited to see where this story goes! Love the world building! Given the whole two separate dimensions(?)/timelines(?)/realities(?), I hope the ending won't be too sad! What are The Flowers (tm)? And will we Remember them? I can't wait to find out :)

Damn I haven't felt this betrayed since Sileo
I clearly need to revisit Sileo I don't remember feeling betrayed by that one.
im referring to tai's route, even though it was a clearly big misunderstanding
Yeah I definitely need to revisit Sileo.
Heartbroken
Friendship ended with coop, now axel is my best friend!
I AM IN DISTRESS
SAME!
aaaaah a update !!
im sorry if im a little pushing but when is the next update
Thursday!
ok thank you and love your VN
what app did you use to create this?
I kinda want to create my own vn if you wont mind thank you
its once a month
i feel like Coopers employer is Damion, and he just wants to reunite with Cyrus
that would be too convenient honestly, with what was described of how Cyrus looks like and how the different the world setting is, I'm starting to doubt that his memories are even real.
That's a really sound theory, and for Cyrus' sake, I really hope that's not the case.
Damion must be long dead from old age or worse.
Well well well.

i relate to when he said he couldnt wear his outfit because only the socks doesnt match so much....
The soundtrack is as wonderful as the artworks I loved! Where can I find them??
Thank you! There's only a few tracks that are specifically for RtF, they're on this channel! The rest are royalty free tracks.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7f6M8vo11RkZQBeJmLpt0A
Ohh that's good to know, could you tell me the name of the song that plays when MC is with Damion at the campus for example please?
Edit: in case anyone's wondering I just found the track, it's called Dreams from Bensound
haa... only visual novel's helping me cheer up in this sad and lonely world. Damion is so sweet. i wish i could have someone like him in the future. and another amazing update! thanks !
Im in a sad mood and wanna read through the new update, but the Damion side plot is so damn saad, I think imma wait till im in a better mood.
No no no no no no, this is not okay. I felt like this was the case, but you can't do this to me brah. I'm not crying I swear somebody be cutting onions in the kitchen.
Wasn't there a gif of Cooper and MC?
I think Cooper imprinted on Cyrus~
let's hope ✨not✨
oh no my homework dead line is tommorrow gotta hurry-
*sees update annoucement*
.....oh well 24h is 1440 mins which is 86,400 seconds so I still have a damn lot of time....
The line
The best line of this Vn
"Not to be asexual or anything, but could you please put on a towel?"
i rate this line asexual/10
OH THANK YOU! ACE REPRESENTATION! As ace myself, I think he is very realistic. I'm very happy finding a MC I can finally relate to ;_;
oh no is this a hiatus?
There's a delay! I'll be posting the Public build by next weekish, whenever the Patreon build goes up!
ah ok i got scared cause i didnt see anything recent posted on twitter , thank you for the updatee
I don't remember seeing the 3rd picture where dat at?
Probably will be added in the future updates
¿ contiene NSFW ?
yes , says it does at the top.
18 + doesnt mean that game has nsfw content
for example Echo is totally 18 + game and has sex scenes , however it is not nsfw vn because there is zero naked spirit
SPOILER Build3:
Sooo...this is not an NSFW VN ? cuz MC is Asexual
In the shower scene, I think the MC is used to do it for his bf that he didn't realize how awkward this is or just bad writing, idk. But I still like the VN overall
Ace here. I think since he doesn't realize how awkward it is for Cooper because for him it isn't. It's just making sure a fellow male doesn't smell bad after the bath.
I thought that too and he has amnesia so it could somehow affect him a bit
I really love this can't wait for the next update
this is the first human MC design I like
Liked this new update for the most part and I don't want to be rude but it did have a very uncomfortable and consent violating section that you try to play off as cute.

I didn't know Cyrus could preform mitosis!
I think you're reading a bit too into this, when I first read this, I hadn't played through the scene yet and it got me really worked up. For one, Cooper only asked Cyrus to turn around because he felt uncomfortable changing in front of someone he didn't know (given kind of weird that you don't mind being naked in front of someone you don't know but honestly, people be weird like that, as in they are comfortable with their own body enough to not care).

For three, his 'reluctance' is more like a kid begrudgingly doing the homework that isn't graded, he doesn't see the point to a bath because it doesn't bother him.
I agree with you, I liked the update very much, but that specific part felt really wrong
Maybe i don't remember it exactly but my problem with that scene was different. It felt too robotic. Like "Oh btw idc about your junk, i'm ace", "oh ok".
Like in real life that's not what happens.. Something like cooper joking he's just lying because he wants to see him naked is way more realistic.

So like.. a bit confusing.
"asexuality usually means you don't like sex"
It doesn't. Asexuality means you don't experience sexual attraction. Meaning, you don't get involuntary neurochemical signals labelled as sexual desire in response to stimuli. Some asexual people absolutely do enjoy sex, others don't. And some allosexual people don't enjoy sex.
So you're saying he could find coop attractive and have sex with him for the purpose of uhh.. bodily pleasure. Without any horniness that people feel?
I think i can somewhat grasp the idea..
Well yes, but there are several kinds of attraction, sexual attraction being the kind that asexual people don't experience. And he doesn't even necessarily need to find Cooper attractive to enjoy sex with him.
help i didnt expect for you to show us 'it' just like that , im so in love with Cooper ...
Sorry Damion he stole my heart.
When is the next update ???
Build 3 came out a little bit ago. 🙂🙂
ik i just played it but i mean build 4 ?
The new update literally just came out, you want another new update??
im asking if theres gonna be a new update :)
Ofcourse there will be a new update, will probably release next month. If you want to play the Build 4, become a patron.
Bruh you mental
What this picture doesn't show you is that Cooper is packing. 😉😉😎😎
Copper is such a personality, I can't wait to see more of 'em!
LOVE YA！！！！！
Curses!! Now I have to wait ANOTHER month. I am so looking forward to next update. 🙂🙂
just do what i do, panic about life for around 2 weeks at the start of the month, realize life exists and then you only gotta wait like one week or a week and a couple days!
the ending just confused the hell out of me...omg. this was actually a painful cliffhanger. is cyrus a whole different person? if not then what happened to his hair etc?
Well I think it might be a parellel world, which means HUMAN and CYRUS are two different but somehow relative person. This makes them exchange their souls through some method such as a short sleep.
yea after having a headache while thinking about what it could be i thought that it could be that too.
it makes a lot of sense.
LOL,well just go ahead and wait for the continual story--i believe our author won't let us down cuz this might be a crux play!!!hahahaha
He could also just be having a dream of his past but both are possibilities
im playing through right now and the human convincing himself that him cleaning is not helping Cooper is literally what i would do too.
It won't let me download build 2 of android after I press install it says "app not installed"
https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/5oB3ZbIY8HZh
Someone in the discord said their issue (same as yours) was due to not having enough space on their phone. Perhaps it's the same for you? Once they freed up some space it downloaded and played just fine.
I have enough space on my phone idk why it won't install
What are you deeming as "enough" space?
I have 53 out if 64 GB
Hmm! That is enough space! Do you have the first build downloaded? It might help to delete that and then attempt to download the second.
I love this, I’m living for the mystery
this update made me love cooper instantly though
Wooo a new update :D and I love it, I really like the story so far. can't wait to see where it goes :D
woo woo i love this bday present
So excited to see where this story goes! Love the world building! Given the whole two separate dimensions(?)/timelines(?)/realities(?), I hope the ending won't be too sad! What are The Flowers (tm)? And will we Remember them? I can't wait to find out :)
For all of our amazing fans waiting: We're hoping to update at 3pm EST (UTC-4) on the 7th. That means just about 2 hours left! <3
My pc picked the perfect date to break, so I'll have to wait a few days anyway lol.
I can't do this Novel justice it's really hitting all of my interests' in the right ways. I will keep it simple and say it is really good. 😅😅🙂🙂
