Nothing to Say
You're on a date with a cute girl, but you're feeling tongue-tied... Can you puzzle out how to confess your feelings?
In this dating sim, your dialogue options are limited by what letters you've unlocked. To unlock more letters, earn hearts by getting to know Zoe. Note that you can't score a heart from a line you've already scored, so keep exploring the conversation if you want to unlock more letters and let Zoe know how you feel.

An incredibly cute game!
And the most amazing thing is how the mechanics convey sensations. That's what games are supposed to do, and you've done it beautifully. I truly experienced the transition from familiarity to a more intimate connection. In just 5 minutes. Movies can do a lot, but only games can create that kind of experience. And that's wonderful.
Naturally, it's a great alternative to Florence. And recently, my friend made Love Letters - https://nozomu57.itch.io/love-letters.
I think the music and sounds will make your game even better.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment, that really means a lot!
Yes, I loved Love Letters and immediately followed Nozomu after playing it. 😄 It’s so vibrant and the way the letter mechanic changes as you go creates a great story arc.
as a very shy person, this is such a great and accurate way to represent how tough and difficult it can be to express ourselves! so cute and real!
So real
i played this game a few ago and i enjoyed it very much! Very interesing and great mechinism!
super cute!! and interesting mechinism
this is so cool!! adorable artstyle btw :3
ouuhhhh this is so cutee,,,,, shes so cute im so lesbian but the game is so cute!!!
cute
how do you control it if i may ask?
Hey! Click to advance the dialog. When given a choice, you can only click on options if you have the letters unlocked, otherwise you’ll have to click “…”. At the end you can spend hearts to unlock more letters, so you can pick other options when you play again.
Managed to get it down to 4 retries:
1. S (for "This!")
2. LKEM (for "I like it! I'm going to get one too. Me too.")
3. YAPCUDW (for "Not my thing. A picnic? Nah. That's up to you. Those ones look nice. Hanging out at home. Chilling with my dog. His name is Pumpkin. He's a little shy. Why?")
4. All letters (Ending)
Cute little game
Cute! It would make a great mini game in a bigger game! Great job
One of the best cutie and simple games that I have ever played ! I enjoyed it a lot and even took notes from it lol <3

maravilloso en cada aspecto
Nice game!
Nice game, really liked the idea of unlocking letters. :)
cute game, really good cuz right now im not looking for the most advanced games
adorable game
is there a way to lose hearts in the game
Nope!
I loved this game :) it was very cute
I kinda tried to take a logical approach with vowels first and then commonly used other letters. It didn't fail, but I didn't actually have to do that :<
cute and sweet!! i iked finding out that there were no "wrong" answers. at first i was scared to pick different options that felt "wrong" so i had to go out of my comfort zone to win - like mc!
This was actually super sweet and relatable as someone who also has trouble communicating with people
Honestly if I ever get a date I could use this game to help me 😅
I unlocked everything i think thats the goal though idk
such a cool concept! it was cute
Short, but very cute and sweet. It put a smile in my face, definitely worth a try. To the collection it goes! 😊
Actually, I didn't know which will make her more delighted, because:
1. I've never dated, neither do I plan to.
2. I'm very bad at being social!
But it worked out enough.
Thank you for the game. I found all of the replies 😊
