Hi, I like the game, but if you put it in Spanish I would really appreciate it. Thank you and good luck. Sorry if my English is not understood.
Hihi I wanted to let you know of a typo I found, its supposed to say "harm" ...... right??? not unless it was intentional (but if u/ur already fixed/fixing it, sorry :3), also, I. LOVE. THIS. Keep it up :DD
hiii i really loved this game like every other game you made, but i enjoyed this one more because of the relatable mc, i loved how she had to install an app to get out of the house, but i also had some problems, well actually one problem, i play on android and it seems that when i try to play the text goes in front of the characters name, which made a bit difficult to follow wade's story since his name is purple like the text, but nothing that really made me back away from the game, this problem also happened with another one of your games (subject: LOVE) and i don't know if the problem is my phone, but i really didn't encounter this problem with other games. Also i wanted to ask if you have an estimated date of the full release since all the characters i love are not fully available (Ulysses and Stephan) and also my favourite doesn't even have a partial route (i'm in love with Izaiah yes) so like is it coming out by the end of the year? or do i have to wait for the new version of subject: LOVE to come out? if so when is it gonna be available? (i know i'm asking so many questions i'm sorry but i really love this game like every other game you made 😭)
also Ollie DOES NOT look 15 like blud is taller than the mc i thought he was a love interest at first
I also had the same problem with the text box, you're not alone! 🥲
This game is amazing, so sweet and the guys look great! My only sadness is that Quincy isnt a love interest, will he be made into a LI at some point? He is super gorgeous.
I love the style of the characters, varied personalities, its amazing, Congratulations to the creators.
Thank you!! We are actually thinking about it 🤔 if we don't bring a route to him, at least we are going to make an ending to him 😉
aawn thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
I understand now I was so silly I just thought that all the endings would be available or at least one of the three of the people i wanted to see would have ending but I just so happen to be unlucky enough to want all three of the ones that don't have ending and I played for 4 hours not understanding that oops i cant wait for Ulysses, Timothy and Stephen <3
oh no! What bad luck X'D I hope you had fun during these four hours, even if your favorites weren't available 😅❤️ but we will work hard to bring good content to them! <3
I haven't played just yet but from the character images alone I can tell the art style is amazing!
The character design is really good for all of them! I mean it!
And every single one of them, without fail, looks so gender
aawn that is very sweet of you <33 and thank you so much!
(and as the artist it means a lot to me!🥺❤️ and I'm glad you liked it! <333 )
Why i can't get all of the cgs? :(
The game isn't finished yet, so the gallery can't be completed for now, the cgs available are:
2 neutral ending, Valentim, Wade, Henry, and Leon endings
ohh sorry, can't wait for the game completed!! I'm so excited play this! >.<
this game breaks out of my standard of games that I normally play, bc it's an extremely innocent visual novel. but it's really good and catchy, I can't wait to play the other endings too! :D
WOW that mean a lot for us, thank you for giving a chance for our game! We're happy to hear that you thought it was good and catchy!! 🥰❤️
where has this game been all my life- this is just so cute I can't-
also MC is someone I can relate so much too. Love the premise, love the customization, there's so much I can say about it...its amazing that this game is free
haha this is so sweet! we're glad you found the game cute and relatable. It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the premise and customisation! 🥰❤️
Gosh, this was super cute and so much fun!!
I loved the concept of the MC downloading an app to help her get out of her home after being there too long. And doing so by walking was such a great idea!! I could relate a lot to her because I'm a homebody myself but I also love taking walks and checking out cool places. The fact that she also struggled, at first, ringed so close to home... this game felt very special to me in that way.
The bachelors are super cute, I honestly liked all of them but I have to say I have a soft spot for Henry & Valen. Stephan and Timothy look very sweet too and I'm looking forward to their routes as well!!
The art and backgrounds were all super cute, I really loved how their eyes would blink at times (and the symbols inside them, like the flowers and hearts!) and even the effect of their mouths moving at certain points! The character customization for the MC was lovely as well, all the outfits are so cute!!
Now, when it comes to feedback, I hope it's okay to point out a few things 🙏 I understand that this game was made in a month for Nanoreno, but I honestly believe fixing these things would make the experience even better when it's already a really cute game.
Alrighty, here goes!
1) The game has quite a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. It's not to the point where it can't be enjoyed at all but it can sometimes be a little distracting. I think this could be solved easily with a proofreader that can be of help 💪
2) Certain parts of the UI don't mesh very well. The thing that looked most jarring to me were the colors chosen for the namebox and the textbox. Since the namebox has a reddish hue, some colors chosen for the character names didn't look aesthetically pleasing (and Quincy's was barely readable). The purple color for the textbox looked a bit off with the red tones in the UI as well. This is my personal opinion, but I think this could be easily solved by making all the characters' names white and the dialogue text black 💪 The other thing is that the namebox looks a little pixelated on the white parts.
Overall, the game was really cute and made me smile a lot. Thank you so much for making this story! Looking forward to the other characters routes and your other games!! ❤️
Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed feedback! It means a lot coming from you! ❤️
We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the game and could relate to the MC's journey. 🥺 Henry and Valentim are such babies!! ToT
No problem, since the game isn't fully released we can apply the feedback to the update~
We totally get it, we have plans to hire a proofreader to take a look at our games. 😊
Hmm I see! We will also consider your UI suggestions to increase visual consistency and readability. Thank you for the advise! ❤️🥰
aawn and once more thank you for taking a time to write such sweet comment!! <33
When will the game be fully out? Waiting to date the others, lol. Best android Dating Sim I've played by now
(Plus, I don't think I've seen it being mentioned anywhere, but are there endings for the side characters? I loved Quincy so much!)
We don't have a definite date; we're now working on the Subject:LOVE crowdfunding campaign.
fausguias and aawn thank you so much!❤️🥰
(We don't have plans at the moment, but we can think about it)
I see, well, thank you very much your response, even if it takes long I'm going to be waiting for the game, it was such a fun experience!
You're welcome, I love your games!
(Thanks 💜💜💜)
Unfortunately with the renpy accessibility, I guess the 64 bit of the game doesn't work propperly in the version of my win 10. I'm probably sure I'm using the latest version. Here is the text
Windows Script Host dialog Script: C:\Users\User\Documents\Games\WalkingHeart (PC)\WalkingHeart-AprilFools01-pc\lib\py3-windows-x86_64\say.vbs
Line: 18
Char: 1
Error: Class not registered

It is strange that this error did not occur on different devices we tested, but we will take a deeper look and update the game as soon as we can fix it. I apologize for what happened, and thank you for the warning!🙏❤️
It happens with renpy accessibility games
ulysses and stephan are so gay its not even funny anymore /hj
This is something I begged to hear fdioashiofasho 😂🤣
Does anybody know which 4 are available love interests?
I'm sorry for the delay in responding. The characters available right now are Wade, Leon, Valentin, and Henry.
Someday I want to donate omggg, The style of the games and how much you guys care about translating all the games to PT-BR too!!!! I'm simply in love with every new release c>
Thank you very much for your love and support! 😭❤️ We are pleased to hear that you like the style of our games and that the translation makes a difference for you. <33
Whether you can donate or not, please know your support is greatly appreciated.❤️ So thank you so much!
YES, Honey Bunny released another game!
Eu amo os conceitos e os estilos de arte dos seus jogos, espero fazer uma doação um dia por voces tirarem meu tedio diário. Ainda vou jogar pois estou sem tempo (vida de estudante do Ensino Medio) mas já vi que vou amar o Wade e o Ulysses <3
aawn ficamos muito felizes em saber que nossos jogos ajudam a tirar o tédio do seu dia a dia. 🥺❤️ E se teve um tempinho para jogar eu espero que tenha se divertido com o Wade e o Ulysses! ❤️❤️
loved this game !! especially excited for ulysses complete route cuz hes so cute <33 how come Izaiha doesnt have one tho? like not one thats only half way there like some of the other guys? <3 also there are 4 cgs that i havent gotten, are those locked for the future routes or i have missed something?
lots of love to u !! <33
Indeed! <333 well... we said that MC was afraid and didn't want to come back to the forest... but we didn't have time to make that little scene for him 😅😔
yes, it's for the future routes, the available ones are; two with the MC solo, and two cgs for each available route :)
thank you!! 🥰❤️
Excited for this new game (As always with any of your games :D)
fuisyhgfia thank you!! 🥰❤️ We hope you enjoy it!!❤️
I just played every route available and all the characters are developed super well as always!! I really appreciate the character customization too~! super cool addition with the chibi too! I will be patiently counting down the days until I can go for Stephens route ;;
We're glad you enjoyed playing it and appreciated the characters too! 😭 it's simpler but we did it with a lot of love :)
Ohh Stephan~ we will try our best to bring it soon~ ❤️🥰
Hello, I got an ending on Ulysses' route, I don't know if it's a game bug or it's not available yet, but I didn't get any CG, I play on Android
Hi! yes Ulysses, Stephan, Timothy, and Izaiah's routes are not available at the moment, so for now they don't have any CG :)
i say this with the most honesty when i say that i'm such a hard person to please when it comes to romance games on itch.io. but this literally takes the cake T_T
all available love interests or not this game is outstanding and way too enjoyable to play. i think what charms me the most is the personality and effort put into the main character.
most other games have a main character with no face and a very depressing lifestyle that only gets better by meeting some random stalker (which is so heavily underused, i cannot stress that enough). but with this game the MC- regardless of how she looks is so incredibly charming and it gets me in such a good mood seeing her progress with her simple goal.
apologies for the rant but i honestly cannot find words that describe how lovely and satisfying this game is. i sincerely hope those at Honey Bunny have a fantastic day <3
Thank you so much! 😊 It truly means a lot to us to know that you're enjoying the game so much.
We love creating our protagonists, so it's great to hear that you find her progression and journey enjoyable. 😭❤️
No need to apologize for the "rant" – we love hearing your thoughts and feelings about the game.
After receiving negative "feedback", your comment really makes us happy, so we wish you a fantastic day as well, and thank you again for your support and encouragement! 💖
Well well now, got to try this.
👀 We hope you have fun!!🥰❤️
ARG I just finished the game and collected all the 6 endings but my dumb self didn't realize that the other 4 guys were locked so I was trying my best to get their endings until i found out that it only had 6 endings BUT I LOVE THE GAME AND THE ART STYLE IS BEAUTIFUL! I really love the chibi art it's so cute :3
fiohfuash oh no! We were supposed to add a "coming soon" in their profile, but we forgot about it heh 😜
gfhdsuihgdsu WE ARE SO GLAD!! It's great to hear you enjoyed the experience overall despite the little issue hehe thank you so much 😭❤️❤️
ok so is it just me who cant even get past the character customization?? like where am i supposed to click??
fashfaso no, it's not 😅 you're in the Android version, right? it has a little button as "✅" next to the name, and after you click on that you will able to choose your name 😊❤️
sorry for the confusion, and please tell me if it worked 😁
Thanks for the method, but there is a problem. You are putting the name in the wrong place, and when words appear covering the name, I cannot read most of the words. I hope you fix this problem. Thank you.
I don't know if I understand the problem, 🤔 I imagine it's the keyboard? If this is the case, try pressing the back button on your cell phone and this should adjust the screen. 😌
If this is not the problem, can you send a screenshot? This makes it easier for me to understand the issue. 😉❤️
Where can we find the walkthrough? I am on PC
You can find it in the game folder; it's a PDF file. 😉❤️
EDIT: we also upload the walkthrough in the logs~ <3
Thank you sm! Such a cute game <3
Adorable! A very unique character art style. I had a decent amount of fun playing with the character maker so far for two different play throughs. A few typos in the text & dialogue, and there's not a lot of in depth writing but it's a fun light game that touches on mental health. Excited to play around with the choices some more and see what content gets added. Super happy with this game so far & excited to put some more time into playing it.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment! We're glad you enjoyed our character art style and had fun with the character maker. The game was intended to be silly and short for April's fools and nothing too serious, but we appreciate your feedback!❤️
We are happy you are having fun and will continue to check out the other choices! and, if you have any more suggestions or comments, feel free to share! 🥰❤️
I just want to echo these thoughts as well!
Hi! Android player here! I seem to have a problem with entering my name into the game when I create my character. I can't do it at all, my keyboard doesn't pop up and I'm not sure what to do. Any help, please?
Hello! 🤗 Oh, that's strange! Are you trying to set up your name in the character creation screen? That won't work. You need to make your character and then click on the "check" button.
The next screen is supposed to popup your keyboard to select your name properly.
Let us know if it worked for you 😉
Yes, it did, it was kinda tricky, but I manage to complete the character creation! I apologize for bothering you, thank you! :D
I liked the game but it was hard to get. Cat endings. I only got two endings. The rest of the endings I didn't know how to get
Did you play the Android version? We have a walkthrough to help you get all available routes in the PC version.
But soon we will also upload this walkthrough here on the itch.io page as well 🥰
I hope you add it to Android because I was unable to open the remaining endings
we upload the walkthrough here~

Meni meni love interest
cute, lovely, and hot men 😳❤️❤️
I played it on Android months ago. The art is as cute as ever, I like the sprites and the background too. Each character's live is well written . I wish we could unlock more routes, such as Quincy. Ollie is suspicious; I have a feeling I know who he is because he looks like a certain someone, and mentioned someone. I tried Stephen's route first. When I got his partial route, the picture didn't show, and there were red words in the upper left saying "Stephen image not found" or something. I love that you can customize what the MC looks like—so adorable!
I actually want to go for Uly's route because he's so mysterious, and in the short cut scenes with other routes like Stephen and Timothy, you can see hints and feel tempted to do his route next! HAHAHA Timothy is so kind, and his cute smile is addictive. Henry is a cutie tsundere; his adorable shy face is just too much. Oh my, Wade! He's another cutie pie; huwaaah, strawberry! In his route, there's another "image not found" error when the MC looks at an app. The revelation surprised me—it was a total surprise.
Valentine is so caring, and Leon, the shining, charming knight—I love his eyes. Quincy is so slay!
internally hoping for route or special ending.I love how they make the scary parts comedic. I want to see that flowery fight. I'm so embarrassed yet fluttered by Leon. Timothy's muffins, I wonder how it looks like with chocolate on top, its urging my desire to eat some. Ulysses is so cute; nooo, he's shaking with an adorable blush! This is too much (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑) I'm so curious now how things will go~I can't wait to see Iza soon and more plot for each route. Is the route with CGs already done? If so, that's a bit sad. I only need four images unlocked in the gallery. Actually, it's a refreshing plot. I can relate to the MC because I was like that too. I got inspired that I really should go out there and expand my social skills. Im looking forward for more hihi, gambatte ૮꒰ ˶> ༝ <˶꒱ა
