You and your group of friends are going into the exceptionally competitive landscape of nature filming and photography. Will you find success on a video platform, educating the masses about nature and wildlife? Will you find love? Balance production of your nature channel with your personal life and make your network a success!

This slice-of-life escapist romance IF follows your 24-year-old post-university MC as they work through trying to get your science-based video start-up off the ground for good. This is a largely character-driven and focused game which I'm hoping people will find funny too! This game is for people who are 18+ and designed for people who want something fun, cosy and aren’t quite sure what they’re doing right now. 

I’m hoping that this will be a game that you’ll still be able to get a lot from even if you choose not to go down the romance options, since the real themes are friendship and a found family vibe.

In this game you will be able to;

  • Play as male, female or non-binary with the option of being cis or trans.
  • Play as straight, gay, bi/pan, asexual and/or aromantic.
  • Choose your background, including your interests and specialism.
  • Romance one of six ROs, including 1 which is gender selectable.
  • Work hard to make your channel a success, or don’t work at all.

(+1)

(+1)

I couldn't agree more! My favourite IFs to read are action-packed but sometimes you just need to chill with your mates 💛

I accidentally clicked something wrong in customization how to I restart that... 😭

I figured it out! Just switched to desktop mode because the buttons didn't work in mobile

Oh, I don't know why that was the case for you. I've not been able to replicate the error on mobile :/ Hope you enjoyed the game so far 💛

(+2)

I want more 😭😭❤️✨

Me too 😅 I've been working hard at the moment but hoping to have the next chapter done as soon as I can. Glad you're anticipating more of YLAF 💛

I recently came across this if and I'm a huge fan! I didn't expect to like this as I usually am into more action-packed stories, but the characters really did it for me. They're written so well, and they seem so real. Excited for future updates :D

(+3)

Thank you! That's exactly what I was trying to do because usually, I'm the same, I go for action-packed stories too! I hope you continue to enjoy YLAF in the future 💛

(+2)

Thank you so much! I'm hoping that I can keep the writing spirit up so it won't be as long 💛

I am happy to report that this game is definitely a hidden gem. Glad I found it. :) 

(+3)

Thank you! I'm glad you found it too! 💛

(+2)

This one looks very interesting! Sad I didn't find this before!

(+3)

But you have now 💛

(+5)

I adore this dearly , the established relationships between characters , the tension build and crumble , the lack of leg room i get for sitting with the love of my life , love it all ♡

(+2)

Look, you sit with Eve, you don't get leg room 💛

(+4)

Love it! my only issue is that the yellow highlight makes things hard to see, so a dark mode would help a whole lot! can't wait for more!

(1 edit) (+2)

So! Exciting news! I've got dark mode added! I hope this makes it easier for you to play! 💛

For some reason I can't get access to any menu in game, but I'm liking the game so far. Can't wait for the future updates.

Hello! I'm glad you're liking the story!

So for the menu, if you're on desktop you pick the three vertical dots next to the chapter name. If you're mobile, you click the top bar right at the top of the screen to pull up the header and chapter name, then click the three vertical dots to toggle the menu. I hope this helps! 💛

For some reason I don't see any vertical dots as you mentioned

(+1)

For some reason, I can. We should drag the line (in the top side of the screen) to the bottom. Then, there is 3 dot beside the chapter name.

 -I am using mobile phone. 

Prior to the comments before, I finally found the way to open the menu. Idk why but on my case I have to click the title THEN the menu will spawn at the bottom. It's just that the cursor changed to the texting "I" cursor so it didn't click (figuratively) on me lol

I'm glad you've found it now anyway! 💛
