What a sweet story :( I enjoyed this very much. For many years I identified as asexual and sex-repulsed (honestly I think I might still be on the ace-spectrum), and reading this felt so refreshing. As if the weight lifted off Pommy's was also lifted off me. Thank you for making and sharing this!!
Aww thank you for your sweet comment!! πβ€ It makes me happy to hear you could relate to Pommy and that her experience also lifted off a weight off your shoulders!! ππ
in the moment i saw this is an asexual story i felt so happy and downloaded right away! it was so wholesome and as an asexual person myself going trough insecurities i can say this was so well written! beautiful couple i hope Pommy and Paris can be happy forever!
I wanted to make an asexual story like this for a long time and share insecurities I have as an ace myself, so it means a lot when fellow aces can relate to Pommy π₯Ήπ
Don't worry, Pommy and Paris will be together forever as a very happy couple π₯°
Woo! Finally played this!! π₯³β¨π Sorry it took me so long, Pri, agsjsls-- My schedule is a mess fr πππ Thanks for being patient with me π₯°ππ
Anyway~ Short and sweet story! I love the cozy vibe so much ( the art, the music, SFXs, etc work so well together! ), that even tho there's this serious convo going on, you know that Pommy will be met with understanding, and it seriously delivers. Really heartfelt and relatable, reminding me of hard convos I've had with my boyfriend too. It's def hard to find the right person and I'm glad that Pommy and I managed to find the right one for us π₯Ήππ
I also love the texting section! That part was hella cute! Paris is legit me when I text my bf, only with even more emojis, as you can see π€π€β¨ It's really comforting to have a guy character use them, tbh, so thanks for that bit of healthy masculinity rep πππ
And last but not least~ The art! It's so cute?! The cheesecake made me crave one so badd and the ending CG is uber adorable agahsklsld-- Pommy and Paris make a cute couple fr! πππ
All in all, a sweet story that made me smile~ The title pretty much sums up the whole experience; delightful and relieving. Thanks for sharing, Pri! Glad I can finally sit down to experience this little gem π₯°ππ
Playing this game really got to me. It reminded me of a friend I had not talked to in almost two months. I miss them so much, but they're very busy. Even though it was short, it meant a lot to me. I'm glad there are accepting people like Paris.
Pommy mentioning it was her first relationship in her 30s was a surprise that I could relate to. As a person on the ACE spectrum, I felt a connection there too.
Thanks a ton, prikarin, for creating something so amazing! This game is special to me, and I had to leave a comment, even though I don't usually do that for games, just to show you my appreciation!
Awww that's so sweet, thank you so much!! ππππ I'm happy you liked the game and found it relatable!! I hope you and your friend get to talk soon!! π₯°π
I'm in a relationship rn with a person who loves physical intimacy but being with them made me realize the same things that Pommy realized so I can really relate with the struggle.. I don't know how we will go in the long run but.. tysm for this game, I appreciate you and it's existence sm π It's short and sweet, what a gem. π₯Ί
Ahzhwxhhs that's so sweet π₯Ίππ I hope everything goes well with your partner! And thank you, I'm happy you liked the game and related to it! π₯°π
(Same as my review to give you that sweet engagement)
This was a short but delightful story. I like how you can easily see some of the characters' distinct characteristics even in this brief time, from their manner of speech to jobs and likes.
Their relationship seemed so sweet to me, and I think they're absolutely adorable! Paris is an absolute king and I want the best for these two!
Being ace myself, this feels like a lovely dream, and I love that~
Really hit me in the honey-nut feelios (in the best way). I can definitely relate to Pommy's anxieties, being on the ace spectrum myself, but there will always be people like Paris who will love you (be it platonically or romantically) for just being you.
Thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoyed it and that you could relate to Pommy! π₯Ίβ€ Yes, true! There will always be people who love you for who you are π₯°π
This is such an unbelievably wholesome and sweet game. I remember you making a post talking about how you're uncomfortable with your characters being talked about in an NSFW way, so I assume you channeled much of your own experiences with this subject into the game. All-in-all, I'm really surprised at how profound this is, and how touched I was by it.
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment! It makes me happy that you enjoyed the game! π₯° Yeah, a lot of Pommy's feelings are also my own; it was really cathartic writing about it all, hehe π
A short but very powerful story/game. I absolutely love it and adore the characters and their interaction! The representation is well put in such a short story and I felt all their emotions, it's a magical and sweet experience!
I love how you, Pri, subtly but coherently expressed aromanticism and asexuality as well as what worries and struggles they might experience. The interaction between Pommy and Paris felt very real and relatable, the nervousness and goofiness are well-written and expressed. So cute!
Thank you so so much for making this game, and the people who helped and supported you in making it!
That's so sweet, thank you so much for playing Petrichor and for such a heartfelt and sweet comment πβ€οΈπ I'm happy to know the interaction between Pommy and Paris felt relatable to you!!
Of course! I have also played Where Winter Crows Go and you did an incredible job there as well. The characters are relatable and funny, and the story is enticing! Keep writing, Pri, you are doing great! Your works also rekindled my desire to write, so I thank you again! πΈ πΈ πΈ
:D I remember your father and I share the same birthdays as you said something along the lines of that when I wrote that the game(Winter Crow) comes out a few days after my birthday.
this was really cute!! i realized i was ace like two years ago and it was such a freeing realization, i've never felt more comfortable about myself. but i do have the same worries as pommy and admittedly, it was made me scared about whatever future relationships i may have. so stories like pommy and paris make me really hopeful and optimistic. thanks for the game!! i enjoyed it immensely <33
I LOVED THAT!!!! It was super cozy and super cute!!! And honestly I feel like it's a message that is super needed. Thank you so much for making this super cute short game!
This was such a nice read, very sweet with an important message!
I loved Pommy and Paris' interactions both in the messages and at the cafe (the part about not wanting to wait inside because what if the staff asks to order? Very relatable). The art is gorgeous and the CG at the end is even cuter.
Such a sweet little game, but so important at the same time π₯Ίπ
My experience is not quite the same, but I can very much relate to being a bit out of the norm and the fear of your partner leaving once they learn about it. And yet, just like in this story, it turned out okay for me in the end! So I guess what I want to say is that even though this scenario may feel like a beautiful fantasy, there are people who WILL accept you, no matter how unlikely that feels sometimes. Because the right person will understand and if they don't, they were never right in the first place! So be like Pommy, take that leap, and live your truth flskfsk;lks;fks;
Such a cute little VN, I love how soft and wholesome it is! <3 Thank you for writing and sharing such interesting stories with us, Pri.
When Paris showed his mp3 player and said nobody uses those anymore, I was like... "HA! I have a very similar-looking mp3 and I still use it all the time, too." High five to you, my man! xD
First, I have to say I really loved the art! Paris' expressions were absolutely endearing, and even funny! The CG was gorgeous too! I also loved the GUI, and all the details regarding the food art, or the keychain, it added so much to this VN!
For the story, I ADORED it so much, oh my God?? It was cosy, it was sweet, Paris is ADORABLE!!!! The build-up to the confession (Pommy's asexuality) was very well done, and I could feel her anxiety - it was also portrayed very authentically. Paris' reaction was of course adorable, and him sharing his actual experience with an aromantic partner was an amazing idea!! I'm flabbergasted you managed to explore so many nuances of relationship on the aroace spectrum in such a short game, kudos to the writing!!
This was a great game, it literally makes me feel so giddy!! Thanks for this adorable ace story, we need more of those!!! It was amazing, goodness, you made my day, I'm so happy!!!!

Would it be weird to say that pommy might have sorta made me realize that I'm ace/ace-spec.
Not at all! If anything, it makes me happy that my game has helped π Congrats on figuring out this part about yourself π₯³π₯°
what is ace?
Hello! Ace is an abbreviation used for the word 'asexual' or people on the asexual spectrum π
oh thanks I didnt know that

Aww, thank you so much!! It makes me happy to know you liked the story and could relate to Pommy as a fellow ace β€οΈπ₯°
Yes, I believe there's hope for us aces who want a romantic relationship! There will always be people who accept us for who we are β€οΈ

Yeah, I hope this can become a reality for me sometime too π₯° it's true that there are always people who will accept you just as you are!
Such a cute little VN, I love how soft and wholesome it is! <3 Thank you for writing and sharing such interesting stories with us, Pri.
When Paris showed his mp3 player and said nobody uses those anymore, I was like... "HA! I have a very similar-looking mp3 and I still use it all the time, too." High five to you, my man! xD
Asakjbfkasjbf thank you so much, Nayru!! That's such a sweet comment, I'm happy you liked the story!! β€οΈπ
Hahah, Paris would definitely high five you for that! xD He loves his bunny mp3 player π°π΅
Awww, this is super cute! Very wholesome. I also really like the art and music.
Thank you so much, I'm happy you liked it!! β€οΈπ₯°
Ooooh, this was a marvellous game that I really enjoyed!!
Funny coincidence, I also created, last year, a VN about an ace person going on a date in a cafΓ© - the main difference is that, in mine, things went south and the character was confronted to acephobia; so seeing a sweeter take on it, and just experiencing a more positive ace story was so cool!!! Aaaah!!!!!!
First, I have to say I really loved the art! Paris' expressions were absolutely endearing, and even funny! The CG was gorgeous too! I also loved the GUI, and all the details regarding the food art, or the keychain, it added so much to this VN!

This was a great game, it literally makes me feel so giddy!! Thanks for this adorable ace story, we need more of those!!! It was amazing, goodness, you made my day, I'm so happy!!!!
Askajbfkajsbf omg that's so sweet, thank you so much, Chim, it makes me really happy to know you enjoyed it and that it made your day!! π₯Ήππ
This story is very personal so it means a whole lot to know that it touched your heart!! πβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I definitely have to play Namida, I'll leave you a comment when I do!! π₯° I agree that we definitely need more ace stories!!
This is a really great game concept. Added to wishlist!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! π
