AWW THIS WAS SO CUTE ^_^ your friend recommended it to me over discord and i had a fun time playing it! the art is so homey and the dialogue is so natural, its very comfy!! also i LOVE jonghyun and noel yaoi 4 lyfe (i am mlm too lol) !!!
ty for sharing this cute story with us :) (makes me wanna make an oc for the universe hehe its so cool!!)
Thank you so much for playing!! I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you loved Jonghyun and Noel.
Please feel free to do make an OC! I would love to see what you come up with.
Hello, we are 3 students from Mons' university and we really enjoyed your game! We have to translate a game for one of our class and we were wondering if we could translate yours. We'll do it for free but the only condition is to be mentionned in the credits, as per our instructions.
We're looking forward to your answer,
Harald
aww the game was so cute!! (The art style especially) everybody's little face expression was so cutee *spoiler alert??* And Noel's crush was so obvious ahaha I'm so glad he and Jonghyun gets together in the end
cute art aside, how the interpretations affect other characters was.. unexpected (in a good way!!). The way "lets go with whatever" options benefits Riley and Minhee with a strange turn of events was fun to watch ("
the bAhaMAs??""now that you mention it.. my pARtnEr acTUAlly waNteD to go soMEwhERE trOPICAl!!") And I'm glad Riley and Minhee both get happy endings in the end, no matter what interpretation Jonghyun gives them :) they def deserve itlast but not least I would like to report an error(??): like in the screenshot , there were two or so scenes where the last line was hard to read bc it was overlapped with setting options.
((And I just have to ask, are Jonghyun and Minhee Korean names? I'm a Korean myself and I have to say that these sound too Korean for me XD
Happy game-making and have a nice day :))
thank you so much for playing my game!! it means a lot that people enjoyed it. tbh i think i wrote half the script when i was sleep-deprived... kjlkjk
oh, good catch on the ui bug! i had a hard time configuring different fonts, i'll try to push a fix for it once i figure out how to approach it.
edit: yes! i kind of pulled these names from ppl i knew irl or from kdramas. i just wanted to have some korean rep is all.
Ah, had a genuinely lovely time with We’ll Be Alright!
Why, specifically? Well, you’ll have to read the review I just published on https://www.wraithkal.com/well-be-alright-review/ to find out 😉
hey man, just got around to reading your review and i've been absolutely stoked to see someone enjoy the game! thank you so much, it means a lot to me. is it okay to link your review in my game description?
Oh, I’m so glad to hear that, as yup, I most certainly enjoyed it (although I guess I’ve already said as much in my review…). Yeah, it’s absolutely okay - only good things can come from that, after all, so by all means, sure, go for it! 😀
I've been waiting to play this game in its entirety for a while, and I'm glad that I get to today! It looks pretty cozy and sweet, so let's jump in.
hey thanks buddy! appreciate the support
