Gay cowboys near a river.

What's the worst that can happen, besides checking each others load?

Please continue. There needs to be more.

Yeehaw for the gay western! Phenomenally put together, although it’s almost to be expected with a team like that.

The story sticks to its genre (I say, not knowing too much about it), with a gay twist. But while it wasn’t too surprising, it was really well paced, the characters were very good and simply reading it was fun.

The visual part is great. Even the unfinished CGs were good. The animations were a surprise! The UI is really cool too. Hard to imagine it being much better.^^

Not much to say about the audio part: it works.

I think this is my favourite Novembuck so far. My only complaint is that having that many talented people in a team makes the rest of us look bad! (just kidding)

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed our work, everyone worked really hard to get this done!

Came for the man ass, stayed for the feels. 

This is a nice Western story with a satisfying end. That title theme was awesome and I liked the animated cutscenes. I will say though, I do wish the VN did a bit more to explore Javi and Nate's relationship. I get that this is a jam game and it's going to be short, but I feel like a few more scenes between the two that show their developing relationship would be beneficial.

Although the presentation is solid, I would recommend darkening the text box more. There were times were the text felt a little hard to read.

Congrats on releasing your first VN! That is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself. I look forward to seeing what you do in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to read through our VN! Glad you enjoyed it! I will definitely be updating the text box in the next update to make the text easier to read. 

I did have a montage like scene in mind showcasing more of Javi and Nate's relationship but some of those ideas had to be cut back due to time. Not opposed to bringing those scenes back for the future when we have more time!

Thanks for your feedback!
