Can you make a mac version?

Probably not going to have time to do a mac build of this any time soon but there's a web version up if you look in the Ludum Dare submission page!

Okay, thank you.

I love your (sometimes grim and dry, sometimes bright and joyful) sense of humor, and that game is another paramount example of it. <3 These two very different characters swapping places and their genres? Absolutely wonderful! I also really liked the pretty different characters of the soldiers, the description of their potential love interests or what they are looking for in a partner felt deeper than in most 'full version' dating sims. <3 Thank you so much for this, Charlotte! Happily I recommended your game in one of our compilation articles about the Ludum Dare 41 as well as it's featured in the related video. :) Keep it up!

Best wishes,
Sebastian

Can't download from itch app D: Is the game for Windows?

Oh wow thanks for letting me know about this! Yes I'd forgotten to tick the 'windows' button so I guess that stopped it from being downloadable in the itch app. SHOULD be fixed now. THANK YOU!!!!

Yep, it's fixed! Thanks! //(b=^ェ^=)b

for those who enjoy watching than playing. hope you like it :D

What I learned from THOB - in addition to not crossing streams, don't misplace protagonists. :)
