ToruTaru early access build version 0.6.0 has been published.
The game honestly feels completely different in subtle ways. Highly recommended anyone who has played install this version instead. Much more visually pleasing, gameplay bugs removed, new features and content added, and girlfriend actually beginning to serve a purpose.
I've updated the soundtrack as well to include 8 new songs.
Hope you enjoy, and thanks so much to everybody who played, livestreamed, and critiqued.
