this is the reason why i try not to play games in development, because it's just too good and i end up hyperfixating on it when there's limited content (but no rush! there's already so much within these updates it's crazy 😭) no but seriously, this is one of the best visual novels i've played in a while, and the cgs and storyline are so well made! i definitely like marco the most since he's so flirty but respectful at the same time, but matt is definitely a close second because his model is just chef's kiss. it must be very hard to do such an ambitious project like this one, so please take your time and don't rush! this game is already amazing, and i can't wait to see what future updates have in store
Thank you so much! I really liked getting to show the side of Marco that wasn't just all flirting, all the time, and I'm glad it won you over.
As for rushing, I definitely appreciate the sentiment, but I do need to pick up the pace. There's a lot of story left to tell, and I want you all to be able to play it! I am making sure not to burn myself out, though.
Right now I'm still finishing all the art for the next Grind'm update, but I'm simultaneously working on the story update to follow. The story update will have a lot of good stuff for both Marco and Matt, so I think you'll like it!
Hello Guys, im playing this again in a new laptop after my old one died on me. I remember Dominic groping Connor but im unable to get to that. Can anyone help me out 🥲😭😭.
This is just to inform you that come of the end of May, I may stop supporting your game and you on Patreon.
I really do NOT want to do this, but Patreon made some change to how one logs into their site and, since the beginning of May, it will NOT recognize my email address. So now I cannot log into my Patreon account and I cannot get to any of the pages of the Creators I support, such as yourself, and your content there.
I contacted Patreon about this weeks ago and they have admitted they caused this problem, but they seem in no hurry to fix it, assuming they are actually even trying to correct it.
Since I cannot access your content on Patreon, there is no point in my making payments there and I will just have to buy or get what I can here on Itch.io.
I'm very disappointed by this since I have been a Patreon supporter since September 2022. I've given them until this Friday, May 30th, to solve this, but if they won't or can't fix this problem by then, well, I'll contact my bank and have Stop Payments put on all the Creators I support.
Sorry to hear that Patreon is being such a hassle! I Of course it's completely understandable not to pay for something you can't access. Thank you for the support you were able to give until now!
Thank you. This is upset to me because I really enjoyed playing your game and you offered so much extra content on Patreon that I how won't be able to get. :(
Your game is my favorite animated novel so far. I don’t mind that it doesn’t have sound cuz my imagination is more than enough. I’m considering becoming a member of your Patreon, but first I need to know when the next update is coming. I don’t think it’s appropriate to have sex with Matt or having him as a boyfriend, since he’s a childhood best friend, so my guy will be Marco. He’s so cute, and his personality is exactly my type. I hope we can choose him as a boyfriend. Very awesome job, you made him so cute and all characters as well. The stories are awesome, it feels so real. Keep the awesome job!
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm no longer guessing at release dates, since I'm really bad at estimating, but I do updates on Patreon that list out what all I've completed for the next release and what remains to be done. I don't think it'll be too much longer, though. Once I have specific dates for early access and the free release, I'll post it on here.
Marco is a romance option, so you can definitely pursue that with him. Matt will manage to find his own fun 😉
Hi, I played a previous version of your game and just downloaded the new one. I think your game is beautiful — and god, all guys are hot asf (Riley omg). Your work is truly remarkable. Keep it up!
If you have the Will CGs after that but that one is still locked, it means you have an older version of the game. It's impossible to see the later CGs without first seeing that one, but I mistyped the unlock code in the early access version. If you redownload the game on here then run through that section again, it'll appear in the gallery.
Just asking but is there like an endgame with multiple male leads?? bcs even the mc was hinting at it in some of the convos where he's talking to himself or with others some of the pairings being: nic,mafia and alex, nic and mafia, matt and griffin, matt and leo, etc...
Though it is quite a letdown that Julian, Leo, Mafia and Nic are not romanceable.
Especially julian and leo, I also can't leave out the part where kash was literally dry humping julian, and julian was seemingly enjoying it, honestly wouldn't mind the addition of more scenes with those characters😉
By multiple male leads, do you mean those guys pairing off on their own? If so, yes, that'll happen for some guys if you don't romance them yourself. I have a few pairings planned already, and more may come up as I write. I don't think anyone has guessed the ones I already decided on, but they'll make sense if they happen.
If you mean poly relationships including Connor, no, primarily because of how complex it is to track relationships when there are so many choices.
You will definitely see more of the other frat boys, don't worry 😉
Oh yes, I did mean the guys having multiple pairings on their own.
Sorry if that wasn’t clear—English isn’t my first language, so that might’ve caused a bit of confusion. But I’m really excited to hear that some of them will end up together even if the player doesn’t romance them. I love when characters have their own arcs and relationships outside the main story and you really don’t see much of that in other visual novels, so it’s refreshing to know you’re including it. Looking forward to seeing which pairings you’ve planned!😘
There aren't any official translations currently, so the game is only available to play in English. Translations are outside of the scope of my budget right now, unfortunately.
There won't be poly romances because it's complicated enough writing all the variations for couples. Some guys will prefer monogamy, some may prefer being totally open, and some are willing to playing with other guys together. Just kind of depends on the guy. I'm not really sure what you mean by incompatible romances—was that only in like a poly scenario?
I mean like in romance games, that some poly or open guys agree to let you be with others, but if you get it on with a specific char the romance is broken, kind of like BG3
Oh, I understand. There are some characters who will be harder to get with/stay with if you make certain choices, yes, but I think it'll be pretty clear what may upset them. Even if you do stumble into a situation like that, it won't be unfixable. For instance, if Asher catches you with his bandmates, he'll be turned off, but that doesn't mean you're cut off from a relationship with him forever.
I'd love to do music and SFX someday, but when I previously looked into it I couldn't find sources that would let me use their tracks in an adult game. But I'll certainly look into it again sometime since I agree it's too quiet!
Man, this is my favorite gay visual novel ever, not only is every storyline hot as fuck, but the writing is really good too, can't wait for the next update!
I'm very sad that 1 year has passed and there's still no Android version, but I understand that the creator is doing his best to help everyone in the community. I'm still waiting :).
hi, it's me again. been going through a few more routes and found a bug. so connor kissed riley at the party, hooked up with julian and let owen help, and in the morning showed off for evan and checked him out, but when he was sitting in will's class, he said something about evan being embarassed because of their kiss, just that they didn't kiss. thought i'd let you know.
still absolutely blown away by the quality of your game. you really have a great talent for bringing these characters to life! everyone feels so unique and real, and i'm having a blast getting to know everyone. marco's still my fave, but riley is so damn cute, and i can't wait for matt's story to progress. the tension and uncertainty between them is my fave thing!! hope you have a great day!
Hey there, sorry for the late reply, somehow I completely missed the notification for this!
Thank you for pointing out the error! It's been mentioned to me a few times already, and it'll be fixed with the next update. And thank you for the kind words about the characters. I hope you have a good day as well 🙂
I've only had the game downloaded for less than a week and I can safely say already that it's one of my favorite visual novels so far. Connor is extremely relatable (I share quite a few qualities with him, it's almost weird lol) and his reactions and comments to some things are hilarious. I love a lot of the love interests as well. Marco and Griffin are currently fighting for their place as my favorite. Matt is right behind them too. I often want to crawl through the screen and into the game for various reasons, whether it's because of one of the many pretty guys or because of something a random side character said (which caused me to want to fight someone). As it is right now, I'm close to having collected all of the CGs. There's a couple sets that aren't completely unlocked yet for a couple of characters and then for the rest , I just have a couple of sets that I haven't managed to find yet. Not sure what I'm gonna do after I collect them all other than be sad that I finished everything. Lol. That might be my cue to look to see if there's already fanfiction for it. Anyways, great job on the game so far!!! I can't wait to see what the future updates will bring!!! All the love to both you and the visual novel 💙💙💙
Thank you! I think I'll be able to solve the CG problem by adding a whole bunch more to the game, which is the plan 😉 The next story update focuses in part on Matt, but Marco has some pretty fun stuff to unlock, too. Griffin I came up with some cool ideas for recently that I can't wait to put in the game.
this game is awesome, I’m not sure how often it gets updated or if there will be future updates, but if there is I would love an opportunity to expand a relationship with Alex! He’s just a chill guy, and he has a soft spot which was adorable.
Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe I messed up the counter? The next update adds a gallery for both Grind'm hookups, so it'll be easier to see what may be missing. If you did the hookup as oral -> oral, bottom -> bottom, top -> top, oral/bottom -> top, bottom/top -> oral, and top/oral -> bottom, everything should be unlocked.
Glad you like it! For Will, if you have his other CGs, that one should be unlocked. An older build had an error that didn't unlock it, so try downloading the newest version and playing through his end scene again.
Connor's CG is part of Dominic's storyline. Hang out with Dominic, proposition him, kiss him during spin the bottle at the frat party, and the next morning you'll get the scene where it can be unlocked.

Will there be a Android version?? I don't have a PC 😭
just played this game, its great, i need more, Matt was sooooo close and then it ended haha great game :)
Glad you like it! The next story update heavily features Matt, and based on what I've written so far, I think you'll really like how things progress 🥵
cant wait, its written really well i normally dont find these kinds of characters interesting but matt is great, defo gona be my first main goal :)
Love this game sooo much!!! Can't wait for the next update!!!
Thank you!
Hi,
I played a previous version of your game and just downloaded the new one. I think your game is beautiful — and god, all guys are hot asf (Riley omg). Your work is truly remarkable. Keep it up!
Thank you! 🙂
How do you get Will’s 10th CG? I’ve looked at the guide but it doesn’t specifically mention that one and I’m struggling to get it
there is a guide ??? I've been doing this game on my own WHERE CAN I FIND THAT GUIED
the latest post for this game on here
Click on Download Now and it'll be one of the files you can download.
If you have the Will CGs after that but that one is still locked, it means you have an older version of the game.

can I play on my iPhone ??
Unfortunately its only available in windows, macos, and linux🤧
are there any guides for unlocking CGs? i've been trying to play different routes but still ending up with the same result
There's an official guide you can download on here. Click on "Download Now" and it'll be the file named "Freshmen CG Unlock Guide.pdf"
I want to know where to find Chinese
There aren't any official translations currently, so the game is only available to play in English. Translations are outside of the scope of my budget right now, unfortunately.
I mean if you ever need help with that, let me know 👀
Really? I need your help
is it possible to ended up with riley?? I LOVE HIM SM😭
Yup, you can definitely end up with Riley. He's a romance option 🙂
but is he like exclusive? are there gonna be monogamous and poly romances, or incompatible romances?

no android??😗😭✌️
i hope they have
I am so excited for the next update!
I'm glad to hear that! I'm working hard on it every day. 🙂
I bet it's gonna be great!
I wish there was music. More so I can hear some sounds because I really hate the quiet. I'm loving this and can't wait for more updates
I'd love to do music and SFX someday, but when I previously looked into it I couldn't find sources that would let me use their tracks in an adult game. But I'll certainly look into it again sometime since I agree it's too quiet!

I am very confused and cannot figure out how to get into this game. Is any of it playable yet?
there is a "download now" button to get the file for the game
I'm very sad that 1 year has passed and there's still no Android version, but I understand that the creator is doing his best to help everyone in the community. I'm still waiting :).
You can always try playing on JoiPlay (Idk if it still work) but before I got my potato Laptop I was playing on it and it worked fine
Worth playing. ;>

hi im having trouble download it keeps saying (file not available on site) for windows but i havent had prombles download other game from itch
Hmm, that's weird. This public Patreon post has alternate download links you can use:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/morning-after-119537878
I can't wait for the next update maan
I was wondering if there was ever going to be an android version? I'd love to have this on the go lol
I'll make one at some point, unfortunately I haven't had the time to learn how to do it, so I don't know when that'll be.

One of the best games on her

Thank you! ❤️
Hi... Really Love the game..
Cant wait for another GrindM to appear.. :D
I'm pretty sure i've unlocked all CG in GrindM Jordi, but it always tell me i've seen 65/68 CG
What did i miss? can you help me?
Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe I messed up the counter? The next update adds a gallery for both Grind'm hookups, so it'll be easier to see what may be missing. If you did the hookup as oral -> oral, bottom -> bottom, top -> top, oral/bottom -> top, bottom/top -> oral, and top/oral -> bottom, everything should be unlocked.
Love the game so far! I'm missing Connor's 24th and Will's 10th CG. Any help with those?
Glad you like it! For Will, if you have his other CGs, that one should be unlocked. An older build had an error that didn't unlock it, so try downloading the newest version and playing through his end scene again.
Connor's CG is part of Dominic's storyline. Hang out with Dominic, proposition him, kiss him during spin the bottle at the frat party, and the next morning you'll get the scene where it can be unlocked.
The morning after is the funniest addition so far. I absolutely love Connor as the main character, his mind is hilarious.
Thanks! I think the PC is the hardest character to write for in VNs, so I've been glad so many players seem to find him likable and funny 🙂
