Quickly jotting this all down on my note app after starting this game at 1pm earlier & it's now currently 10pm with me just finishing it up (took a few long breaks inbetween!). Ignore the tenses used here as I'm maxxbraindumping:
Now thats what i call a PROPER romcom. Holy shit this is such a gem im so freaking glad i browsed through the VNs section yesterday and decided to download this.
First of all PHEW, when i tell you this was a rollercoaster of emotions. When it first started i honestly didnt have much expectation with only the goal to pass time (off topic but i got so confused when the first choice i made immediately resulted in the game ending lmao) but quickly it proved me wrong. Like utterly wrong. First of all, the designs and the UI, the soundtrack etc. Love em. Absolutely love em. Chef kisses. Secondly, the characters. Man it's so refreshing to have an actual grown ass MC for a romcom instead of teenagers or young adults. Egen definitely grew rapidly on me (the part where people edited him with rain effects & sad song and him getting babygirlfied by netizens was where i was like yep. Yep this game absolutely Gets It) As a person whos love language is words of affirmation, i feel like hes tailored just for me. Endearing. Wholesome. Fine. This man is down bad and hes not afraid to express it any capacity or ways. The first date was cute absolutely (i may need to rethink some things while imagining his tongue), but the second date was my favorite. Side note i havent explored the other options yet for second date except the game and the bath BUT THE GAME. SEASONAL GROVE WHEN I GET U.
("Can we combine our farms?""But then I couldn't come home to you after a long day of exploration.")
("He walks me home, then waves goodbye. My heart sinks for the first time as I watch his little character trek back home")
("I forget my cattle outside during a nasty thunderstorm at the end of the fall, but Egen's long herded them inside the barn by the time I arrive back at the farmstead") this was such a fluff packed segment that I was convinced my heart grew atleast ten times bigger reading it. Like what if i cry. Actually scratch that i did not need to seeing as to how immediately after this scene we hopped into a much more emotionally charged segment where i wasnt at all mentally prepared for But nonetheless welcomed all the same. The transition from a fluffy and detailed one complete year playthrough of a starde- i mean seasonal grove and then u broke my heart with that angsty filled segment. ("I'll wonder about you if I don't at least try.") LIKE HOW DID WE GET HERE AND WHY AM I CRYING. I fully was immersed and i get both of em like and marvel at how it's not offputting at all at the way theyre already starting to get attached to each other. I find that some other comedy VNs arent very good at building up tensions or actually establishing connections but this is a solidly written one where we explore the characters' vulnerabilities that actually connect them. ("You're neat, Egen. But I have a life here. Lynne's here, and I need her as much as she needs me.") Talking abt connections, i especially love how Lynne's relationship with the MC is integral to her character rather than just an afterthought. I find that platonic relationships are just as important as romantic ones and im glad this game is putting emphasis on it. Lynne may act she way she does but she does deeply care about her sister (i appreciate the lil details on their interactions) & their backstory awww :( (sidenote i absolutely died at the unleashing the older sister power part. Im willing to bet they come from an asian family).
Oh gosh im just realizing how long this is but god I absolutely love the writing! I keep on hitting the log button at least every 10 minutes to reread some lines, the dialogues are gold & the humor is definitely humoring. Some scenes even tore a full bellied laugh from me, which was so cool! I rotated between smiling, chuckling and snorting the entire time - definitely thoroughly enjoyed myself and have nothing but good feelings about this game. So for that, thank you to the team for bringing this masterpiece to life.
Some misc that still lingers that Idk where to place:
Lynne & Andelle??? I really wasnt expecting this one but when I saw the blushing sprite I was like what. Since when hes capable of that. But regardless THATS INTERESTING
My favorite way to die was definitely by pressing the red buttons way too many times
Egen's backstory & how it shaped him…………
The ending.
Loren Ipsum company
Lynne being a woman in STEM
Smiling Nabo sprite.
How MC is technically overpowered
The memes & references made in this game
I'm still gonna go have to go back and explore other choices I haven't tried but just know I'm gonna be rotating this game in my brain for the next couple of weeks if you don't mind. You guys made me happy and I hope this terribly long & messy review will atleast give back a quarter of what I was feeling! Keep up the good work!! <333
Thank you for maxxbraindumping! This was a joy to read!!!!! I showed it to everyone on the team, and we each took turns having the time of our life reading it!
We're very happy that so many of our themes resonated with you, and that Love Limit has a special place in your heart. And thank you even more for taking the time to leave this comment.
The art is amazing - the background are just UGH and the sprites are simple but endearing and SO EXPRESSIVE? Just the expressions alone made me laugh. Actually, I laughed SO MUCH while playing this! I got really attached to the characters, like, ALL OF THEM. And Egen is such a babygirl, oh my- I would die for this man, istg. The banter between him and MC is amazing and I love how you guys explored the misunderstanding of Earth by aliens.
This is truly a work of art. I'm amazed and I can't wait to see more from you guys! As an aspiring future sologamedev, this is such an inspiration, truly a joy to play.
Thank you very much for taking a moment to comment! We're happy to hear Love Limit has become your favourite VN, that it left such an impression on you, and that you enjoyed it so much!
Egen would panic if you die for him! BUT as Ornthonian culture is ruled by duels, he'd appreciate the spirited response!!
We wish you the best in your future endeavours as a game designer! Remember the spirit of fun, make the projects you'd love to play, and you'll do great! Also, when you do make a game, feel free to message us about it on our Tumblr! We'd love to play it!
I loved this VN so much!! Everything from the various sprites for all situations (even one-off ones), the writing of the supporting characters and Egen and MC, the GUI, the background CGs, it was all really polished!! This could very well have been a commercial game instead!
I know nothing about programming but the puzzle bits seemed especially complicated so kudos to that alsoo!
Gosh all this content done in just 2 months? I'm so amazed
I really love the MC for being so sensible and warm and I love their dynamic with Egen! Egen was so great! He's so earnest and considerate and sweet, I didn't expect to be this attached to him.
For only 44k words, y'all were able to characterize everyone from the cast so well that I went straight to AO3 to look for fanfics only to realize that this is too newly released for it to have them yet. (Just you wait!! You have a gem here, I'm sure this game will be more popular in the future).
Looking forward to what you make next, though I really hope it's more Egen content!
[SPOILER-ish?]
Can I just say that that make-out session was so hot?? I didn't expect him to go along with it and I already finished the game but my gosh I'm still blushing over how he lied about the hidden zippers to tease the MC. So, great job in infusing so much personality in that scene that it was so uniquely Egen!
Ideally we'd like to release the game on Steam and on mobile. The later would be for players who may not have a PC, but are interested in playing the game. The later would need more development time to ensure thorough QA testing and optimization.
This was wonderful! Sometimes the puzzles were hard, or I got a bad end unexpectdly, but it was worth the 2 hours of gameplay. Though I am not too big of a fan at conquering planets and enslaving species, Egen wormed his way into my heart. This was a wonderful experience. 10/10 would do it again. Now, Imma just find all the endings.
I loved loved loved this game! It was so funny and heartwarming and made me laugh out loud multiple times! I loved all the characters and collecting all the endings was so enjoyable! EGEN IS SO CUTE! Love, love, love this game!!
I can't stress enough how MUCH I enjoyed playing this game and how much I recommend EVERYONE reading this to play it too. Egen is a sweetheart: he's funny, cute, he cares, and all the interactions with him and his crew are absolutely great. I think this game is one of my favorites now (I loved EVERY ending I got, they were hilarious or sweet or both at the same time) so please please PLEASE play this game, it's a masterpiece.
Thank you very much for taking the time to both comment and play the game!
Heart and soul was poured into this 2-month endeavour, and we're really happy it's translated into an experience so enjoyable, you shared it's a masterpiece.
I just wanted to let you know that this was among the first games I've ever streamed for Indie Otome! And it was a hit! Everyone loved it. This was such an enjoyable game and you deserve all the praise for making it! We loved every aspect of it!
Tip for players: As someone with dyslexia, I do understand that people like myself may struggle with aesthetic fonts. I used the accessibility screen and played in Deja Vu Sans (Open Dyslexic is available as well). Anyone can reach this screen by pressing Shift+A! Happy gaming and I hope more ppl discover this gem! 💎 💗
Thank you for taking the time to comment! It's big news to hear that the game was streamed, and heartwarming to know those who attended enjoyed themselves!
Additionally, thank you for your kind assistance to those on this game page while I was working on update 1.3. I'd completely forgotten that Shift+A was an engine feature, and will spread that knowledge whenever I can. 👍💗
I LOVED this game. It’s a great mix of hilarious and sweet moments, with a relatable MC and an endearing LI. I enjoyed the writing so much that I made sure I picked every single choice in the game. <3
This game is exceptional, from the UI to my ADORABLE ALIEN BABYGIRL Egen. For a free game this has the quality and length of a commercial product!!! the writing is amazing I busted a gut a laughing so much. Everyone involved in this is incredibly talented!!!
OK WOAH. good god is this game good! i've played a lot of different VN before but this one MWAH soooo good. all the people praising this game arent messing around!!! its charming and witty and just so cute!!!
I need more people to know and play this game pls!! xoxo to all the people who worked on this AMAZING JOB! <3
instant fave!! it's perfect in all aspects: the characters are all super endearing and silly, the art is super cute and i just love the writing and all of the story. the gags were all really good!!!! they had me giggling constantly, the comedic timing was great with the sound effects and the music. i truly had a blast with this game. i also need Egen right NOW. he's so babygirl coded<3
i absolutely loved this game, it's super charming!
Thank you for commenting!! We're really happy to hear you enjoyed so many aspects and that you had such a fantastic time!!!! We hope to create something affordable that all players can have as a memento of Egen should they want it!<3
I played the game and it's great. Funny, cute, great writing (and this is the highlight--the writer has style and it's entertaining, charming, well-paced, you won't get bored at all) and wonderful characters. :) Added to my list of favorite games. Thank you for making this!
Definitely, it's truly a well written story! So glad to hear the team is thrilled. I was so thrilled to find this gem--I just love this cute rom-com so much. Although I should also mention that I love the art too--it's really good and so charming. Love it all from beginning to end.
This sounds really fun. Adding to my list of games to play. I hope it is on the cute funny side! I have been wanting rom-com type games!!! Sorry but so many Otome games I’ve seen are dark and edgy—but my favorite stories are fluffy, rom-coms, or classic romantic adventure. So glad to see some non-edgy games in the jam. Plus I will add that over 45k words is insane—especially if you’re a single developer writing that. That’s impressive!
THIS GAME IS SO CUTE!! There are so many fun endings to collect on the way to finishing the game. The writing is so well done and the art is great! So recommended... <3<3
This is so, so, so, so cute. I had a blast playing this! It was a feel-good fluffy experience, with a lot of humorous moments. Did I mention it was cute? Because it is. Thank you for making such a wonderful game <3
ive played a bit of this game and i really like it!! but i was wondering if i may ask for an option to change the font in game? its difficult for my eyes to process. thanks for making this game <3

10/10 game but i can't get the back button to work T_T
Hi Junkxo,
Thanks so much for your feedback! We're glad you're enjoying the game.
We have isolated this issue and will resolve it as soon as we can. In the meantime, scrolling up with mouse wheel will allow rollback.
Hi Junkxo,
This has been addressed in update 1.5. Thank you for your patience and support!
thank you!!
I loved this VN so much!! Everything from the various sprites for all situations (even one-off ones), the writing of the supporting characters and Egen and MC, the GUI, the background CGs, it was all really polished!! This could very well have been a commercial game instead!

Hahaha, Egen is a special type of mischievous!
It might be delulu but I hope to see more Egen content in the future
Not delulu, dear, but it will take some time. We have it right here in our journal that we plan to release the game on other platforms.
Thank you for playing, and we're happy to hear you want more Egen!
Ooh which platforms did you have in mind (if you can say)?
We're happy to share! Thanks for your interest.
Ideally we'd like to release the game on Steam and on mobile. The later would be for players who may not have a PC, but are interested in playing the game. The later would need more development time to ensure thorough QA testing and optimization.

I loved loved loved this game! It was so funny and heartwarming and made me laugh out loud multiple times! I loved all the characters and collecting all the endings was so enjoyable! EGEN IS SO CUTE! Love, love, love this game!!
We're happy you enjoyed it SO MUCH!
Thank you for giving Egen your love, and for spreading that love to the team by taking the time to comment!!

And thank you for giving the game a chance and playing it!
This is one of the best games I've ever played. Instant top 5 of my fav. VNs. Keep on making such good games, please.
I agree with the comment asking for a change font option, I've had difficulties with that, too.
I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for playing!
The option to change the font is on my To-Do list. Update 1.3 will have it, and that should be out in the next week or so.
Just wanted to let you know you can also change the font in game by pressing Shift+A to access the accessibility screen!
Oh, I wasn't aware of this. Thank you!! <3
Hello Ptracifi,
Just wanted to reach out and mention that update 1.3 is live! Thank you for your support!
ive played a bit of this game and i really like it!! but i was wondering if i may ask for an option to change the font in game? its difficult for my eyes to process. thanks for making this game <3
Thank you so much for playing!
I'll upload a new build that allows for a font change in the next week or so, as I must adjust the GUI to account for all the changes.
no problem!! I really really appreciate it. Im very excited to continue playing when it’s up ^^
Just wanted to let you know as well that you can change the font in game by pressing Shift+A to access the accessibility screen!
oh wow! I didn’t know this. Thank you!!
Good evening, Zimstar!
Update 1.3 is live. Thank you for your patience and support!
awesome thank you so much!!
