Hi! Could you please mark the download with the OS(es) it's compatible with? (The checkmarks next to "Executable" on the edit project page) It's currently impossible to download and play the game through the itch app since it's not marked.

Hi, I paid for the game, but I got a download error. In the "info for nerds" link, the error log indicated an undefined build error. I did try the alternate download link, and rebooting and trying again but that didn't work. Could you please check on this for me? It looks like a cute game to play. Thanks!

Hey Hazelskykin! Thanks for donating and checking out this game in the first place. :) 
Hmm it sounds like you can't get the build download in the first place from itch if I'm understanding correctly. See if it works on a different internet browser as well - sometimes that can be a fix. If not, we can figure it out with the help email I have set up: holidaygamehelp@gmail.com
It'll be easier to send the zip that way as well! :) Thanks for reaching out!

Thanks for your quick response and your help with the zip file. I had a lot of fun playing through all the routes. The game had such cute graphics, and it was a great way to pay tribute to the spirit of holiday romance.  Would definitely recommend to play as a short escape during the bustle of the season or a reminder of that yuletide magic year round. Hope to see more games from your team in the future!

I did all the other routes and they were very cute and wholesome, but I'm confused about how to unlock the locked route.

Thank you for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed those! 💖 

I don't want to spoil it in the comments here, but it has something to do with being not so nice 😉(feel free to DM me in my linked twitter if you want more specifics - I don't think I can DM you the answer on itch). The button on the top left side in the game (the "Holiday Cheer" Menu) will also let you know how much of their interest you capture. 😀
