Cool as a Cucumber
This is normally where I'd suggest you play the downloadable build instead of the web build but tbh I think the crunchy loading adds to the jank here
You've woken up with amnesia so all you remember are your name and pronouns :( But that's fine! Your memories aren't important anyway! What's important is that you get to meet all the cute guys you live with! They're all kinda weird, but one of them stands out to you...
He's so...cool...
Like a cucumber...

Featyres
- Renamable protagonist
- Pronoun selection...technically...
- Creative Commons assets chosen with
zeronegative regard as to style or thematic cohesion (please don't take their inclusion in this project as a statement on the assets' quality LMAO) - Fully non-custom default Ren'Py GUI
- Meaningful choices that truly matter :)
- 3 endings
- A heartfelt(?) 1.8k-word story making fun of my favorite love interest archetype
- You Can Fix It ("It" meaning "this game" and "Fix" meaning that the game is under a CC BY-NC license so go wild)
- I typoed the word "Features," fixed it, then decided the typo was funnier so I unfixed it

THE WAY I GOT RIZZED UP WITH THE META ENDING OH MY GOD
now we need a DLC where we wake up with amnesia again and fall in love with another roommate
The web build glitched out and everything in the game was pixellated from start to finish. Really adds to the experience, Ivan best boy
This was great 😂
