Eli is genderfluid and changes their gender expression every day. What gender they are on the first day is not tied to your pronoun choice but random on the first playthrough and interchanging afterwards.
If fem Eli is there day 1, you will get masc Eli day 2, fem day 3 and so on. And to answer your question: The main character is some variation of pan/bisexual per default, but you're free to headcanon which variation on your playthrough <3
after the first scene, this screen pops up and wont change no matter how many times i reload it.
[Description: image is a screenshot. the background is dark greyish blue(ignore the black outline, its how my computer cropped the game). In yellow text it says "Loading Error", and in smaller white letters under it it says "Failed to load: img/characters/%24map-(4).png".]
[under that is a small black box(button) with the white words "Retry" on it. when i click on it, it will replay the games loading screen before taking me back to this.]
at first i thought it might be a part of the game, but it still hasn't fixed itself so i decided to comment. i also tried restarting the game, but the same thing happened again even when i chose different options.
~
side note, i absolutely love the plushies in the bedroom referencing your other games! (Mistrick is my favorite, it makes me stim)
hope this can be resolved somehow because i really love your games and was excited to play this one <3
the same thing is happening to me!! I went into the files, not exactly sure why that specific file wont load. it looks normal enough. I am on a Lenovo laptop if that helps, using windows 10. My browser is opera GX but I changed the Html files to open in google if that was somehow the problem??
I love interactive games like this and I was also excited when I saw it but its completely unplayable after the intro :(
Love this game so much!!!! Eli is so cute and I love (and also hate) them lol. 10/10 would date them again (except not in real life because Please Eli I need to earn money idk how to explain capitalism to you babe)
Also I like the easter eggs towards your other games (the plushies/figurines in the display case in the player's room are characters from your other games I'm guessing - I at least recognize the characters from Mistrick haha).
that's so funny, that's never happened to any of my games ๐ I'm not sure it's a bug from the game itself though, since I'd need a plugin to flip the ui on its head and nothing in the game should be currently able to do that ๐ค But if anyone else encounters this, let me know ๐
any tips for the "when the darkness threaten to consume all, you went outside and felt loved" and "when the darkness threaten to consume all, you looked at a screen and felt loved" endings? Can't figure it out lol.
Spoilers below
I keep getting either the ending where our apartment is set on fire, or I get the one where Eli makes a man explode into "confetti".
nevermind, I figured both of them out lol it just took me a long time to realize what I had to do for each of the endings. Now I just need the 13th ending :)
Lol apparently all you need to do to figure out those endings is to ask someone else how to get them, and then you'll figure it out by yourself before anyone replies
Yeah how do you get those endings? I'm trying to get "Looked at a screen" and I try keep trying to balance making the world red, keeping Eli happy/affectionate, and completing the video game. Idk what other screen they could be talking about! Is that not the requirements? What do I have wrong?
any suggestions on getting the "light" endings (about the player's love falling short + weren't loved)? it feels like every time i try to do it (e.g. insulting or picking more negative options) it transitions to the "gray" world...
I was mostly neutral towards them, but occasionally insulted them and even complimented them if the next day it made the world gray. Basically don't go to work too many times (don't go on day 2 or its automatic gray world), hang out with them (skipping makes it easier to be neutral), for the map maker actually do what they want (i found that if i just exited it, i would get gray world), and don't ask them what they want to do for dinner. You should try to save every possible day so you can go back if you made them too unhappy with you
What is this about an automatic grey world??? I try going to work on day 2, and closing out of the game without doing anything, but the world won't grey out. Are you sure that's all you did? A grey world on the first day would be really helpful rn.
I might have to play this again but I think I worded it wrong. The world doesn't turn gray yet, but working on day 2 gives you the first dream ('gray world') that shows that you're going down the bad end route. The outside world doesn't go gray until you get the second dream
Hey there I love hated this game so much :D LOL Getting all endings cuz I was stupid was a struggle but it was rly fun and you had some rly funny endings too which definitely made them worth it! Also I love the twists in your games they make it like 10 times better every time!
ELI WHY DO YOU HATE THAT I HAVE TO WORK FOR A LIVING AGH.
1ST ENDING DOWN-- THE GOOD ONE OH DEAR-- TO GET THE OTHER.... idk how many WAIT YOU MADE SOFIA??? I streamed that game!! I lovedddd it smmmmm keep making games!!!!!!!
Also, if I had a nickel for every time the world around me was controlled by a bouncy transgender person, I'll have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
This game is so amazing!! It's so interactive and it's really cool how you put a map creator in there. I've only managed to get 5 endings, not sure how to get the rest, but I'll keep trying. And also! I think I found a bug (I'll put it down there cuz spoilers)

After the main characters dies inside the burning building, there's an overlay that only allows you to see the lower part of the screen. Even when I started a new game, that overlay stayed there and only went away when I reloaded an old save
Just letting other content creators know that I did get a copyright claim for the "Good Night" song from FASSounds.
You can seemingly dispute it with the license available on Pixabay, but it does require making an account and following their instructions. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind.
I never quite realised who Hatoge was, only from their YouTube. So my surprise was palpable when I realised that some of my favorite VN were made by them! I was waiting to play this game all day and after having played it, the quality is on par as always. It's interactive, more so than most VN. (No insult to them.) Core ideas are interesting and... It doesnt help that I have a bias becouse of the Jam this was a part of.
i'm realizing what i encountered wasn't a bug but totally on purpose LOL. **spoiler below**
the game kind of locks you on the map once it starts to distort from working and making eli unhappy, which i think is mostly intentional since it's the game telling you that you effed up and eli doesn't want to go outside anymore? the issue however is that it completely locks you on the map screen and you're even unable to go back to the home so it calls for closing and reopening the game, which is really inconvenient if you haven't saved LOL. i've had no issues otherwise!
fyi happened to me too - both on the "grey" world when Eli was unhappy, and once when Eli was happy. No clue why. Hope you get the bug fixed, but since each run is fairly short it's kind of annoying but not a devastating bug as long as you save often lol
UGHHH I'M ALREADY IN LOVE WITH ELI'S DESIGN I'M SO LOOKING FORWARD FOR THIS!!! is it okay if i do a fandub of scenes in the game? i really love games like this ๐ซถ
The browser build will technically be playable on mobile once it's up, but there's no sound so it's not ideal. There are no plans beyond that unfortunately as I've yet to find a reliable way of deploying RPG Maker games to android :(

I'm addicted. I have five endings so far...so yeah. Anyway, Imma get sleep before I pass out.
why is eli always a woman
Hey, shame people just disliked without explanation. They actually change their gender and sex every day.
Why is that when I choose he/him, it's a girl love interest but when it's she/her, it's a boy? Am I not allowed to be gay..
Eli is genderfluid and changes their gender expression every day. What gender they are on the first day is not tied to your pronoun choice but random on the first playthrough and interchanging afterwards.
OH THAT'S AMAZING
But it is happening exactly the opposite with me. I choose my gender fem and fem Eli appears. Like I'm not allowed to be straight?
If fem Eli is there day 1, you will get masc Eli day 2, fem day 3 and so on. And to answer your question: The main character is some variation of pan/bisexual per default, but you're free to headcanon which variation on your playthrough <3
LMAO
Why did a man explode?? Can someone give me hints? Please O.o
If you reach the last ending you'll understand everything. But if you really want to know I can tell you
Please make a Brazilian Portuguese version! I need it, the game seems to be perfect, but I don't understand much English :(
uma versao em pt br seria taooo incrivel
is there an endings guide
Loading Error?
after the first scene, this screen pops up and wont change no matter how many times i reload it.
[Description: image is a screenshot. the background is dark greyish blue(ignore the black outline, its how my computer cropped the game). In yellow text it says "Loading Error", and in smaller white letters under it it says "Failed to load: img/characters/%24map-(4).png".]

I'll fix it this weekend, thank you two for letting me know!
I replaced the file, hopefully this solved the issue you were experiencing ๐

I have no idea if this is just my computer or not but when I tried to insult Eli, it turned upside down, was a good scare tho
it could just be my computer, its really old lmao
yeah that didn't happen to me, so I think it's a bug or something lol
that's so funny, that's never happened to any of my games ๐ I'm not sure it's a bug from the game itself though, since I'd need a plugin to flip the ui on its head and nothing in the game should be currently able to do that ๐ค But if anyone else encounters this, let me know ๐
yea, then it's probably just my computer! this happened before on other rpg-maker games with me on browser lol
No, it happened to me too! But then again my computer is really old, too...
It's probably just that our computers are old

I LOVE THEM SM OMG great game!!!!!!!!
Eli plush on Makeship ! (hint hint)
Oh I wish, but I'm not nearly popular enough to pull that off ๐But I appreciate the enthusiasm ๐
That's great. I love a game with choices.
Also, if I had a nickel for every time the world around me was controlled by a bouncy transgender person, I'll have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Of course! Fandubs are welcome ๐

My partner is also genderfluid! its nice to see a game with that kind of content!
Ah this looks so cute! I wish i could play it. Is there any future plans for mobile or android?(sry if this a little to early to ask)
The browser build will technically be playable on mobile once it's up, but there's no sound so it's not ideal. There are no plans beyond that unfortunately as I've yet to find a reliable way of deploying RPG Maker games to android :(
aw okay! Thxs for replying anyway :>
