Spoilers ahead:
Absolutely lovely story, I played through all the endings and made sure to get all the extra scenes. The only thing I'm still hankering for is Liam to actually reveal he's Werewolf (something I clocked the instant he muttered something about being good with animals), I absolutely want to see Sam and ZG react to that. And also a proper CG for the ploy ending would have been nice, but it certainly doesn't ruin the experience for me all in all, a great time.
YIPPEEEE I GOT THE POLY ENDING!!!! IT TOOK 10 HOURS BUT I DID ITTTTT <333
This game seems so interesting! Unfortunately its not available for the latest Android version
I just want to say that this is probably the best trans rep I've ever seen in a game, and it's not even the focus of the game, which I honestly think is part of what makes it so good. In games that are specifically about a trans character, no matter how well it's handled, the character being trans has somewhat of a spotlight on it, and it ends up feeling a bit... "forced" isn't quite the right word, but it's the best I can come up with right now. Meanwhile, this game is about a character that happens to be trans, making the moments that it's brought up feel much more natural. It's not overly focused on. It's no different than Liam mentioning that he's Mexican. That's in addition to how organically these moments are handled in the game. Sam being trans isn't brought up more than it needs to be, and when it is mentioned, it always makes narrative sense. I also like that it touches on one of the more difficult parts of being trans, dysphoria, with Sam mentioning not wanting to buy clothes for herself because of her body and being nervous about Zombie Girl seeing her naked. I've played several games with trans MCs, and Sam definitely feels the most organic of all of them.
Another thing I really liked that is part of the focus of the game (SPOILERS FOR ANYONE READING THIS) is how when you finish Nicole's route and then replay it, you actually get to see some of the scenes from her perspective and see some of struggles she was going through from hiding who she was from Sam. That nightmare at the end of Chapter 4 actually made me cry, and it's really rare for things like movies and games to make me cry. I also like that the game actually acknowledges it if you name her Nicole, with Nicole's small reaction to the name, and Sam reacting to Nicole's name reveal at the end (and I like the small acknowledgement of using the default name, though I do wonder what's going on in Liam's head when he hears it, since he doesn't say anything about it).
Sam is trans?? I genually didnt know that.
AWESOMEEE i loved the art and the story between sam and zombie girl!!
Comentário brasileiro que procura.(Sem spoiler)
Se você tem um sonho e acha impossível de seguir, a SAM é uma mulher onde você vai se identificar muito durante a historia, com o fato de ela não fazer algo que ama mas almeja e como é o peso dela viver assim, foi uma característica que me acabei me identificando. Todos os personagem são envolventes e a princípios gostei da maioria, no começo achei estranho um otome de uma zumbi mas logo quando conhecemos ela vemos uma personagem cativante. Vi muitos comentários sobre o Liam e até um momento eu acho ele um fofo (ainda não terminei, mas considero muito seguir a rota dele). É uma historia longa mas acho que vale a pena, achei muito interessante a representative que teve (fiquei muito surpresa, sem spoiler) como jogadora eu não vejo muito disso. Eu joguei o começo da história e publiquei caso queira ver e me ajudar eu agradeço bjs...
no tiddies😡😡 0/10
Nvm guys, i get it (the Poly ending)
The ending are worth it
OMG CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET IT????? IVE BEEN TRYING FOR THREE HOURS-
complete the liam route and zombie girl route then play again till this part (i fogor which chapter is it)
ty!!
how can i unlock the poly ending after i got both love interest's ending?
I loved the game and the story
Just finished my first playthrough! (Obv went for Zombie first bc im a useless lesbian) Loved the game, the characters are complex, the writing is absolutely divine and the art is beautiful!! Even the side characters have a personality. I'm a sucker for Visual Novels and I loved this one especially!! I will totally be playing again, and playing any other games you've created so far!!
wait hold up I got all 3 endings and yet theres a cg thats still locked whats happening😭
Same here! I'm trying some of the other choices that I wasn't sure mattered. Will update if it unlocks it but I'm too tired tonight lol
Gonna contain spoilers OKAY OKAY
KK SO
i just finished the game (got all cgs) and WOW that was good. Like... wow. I also played IWTPTMSC and I can officially say yall have won over my heart completely. The stories are amazing, short and sweet. The characters are lovable and well designed. Im LIVING for the fact Sam almost towers above both of them. Zombie girl is cute. Liam is sweet. Im excited for what this studio puts out next.
Also, the character personalities and identities are just- amazing. I never would have guessed Sam is trans or that Liam was bi. Sam is wonderfully portrayed iimo. Also, I love how in the poly ending Sam opens up her mind to new kinds of relationships. I did that too when I came out as Ambiamorous, so seeing her go through it too really hit home for me.
Im very happy with my decision for playing both games by this studio. Again, cant wait to see what else yall put out.
The moment i understood Sam's character i uninstalled, sorry but sam and liam are both too annoying... only character i liked was the zombie girl.
How far into the game did you get?
I have played this game like 5 times, not once have I done Liam's route. I am not entirely sure why, but goddamnit, Sam and Kate (the name I gave Nicole) are just too fucking cute together! Despite never having done Liam's route I am 100% sure he is a werewolf.
So, I'm honestly just gushing about the fact that I found a game about zombabes because ghoul gals are awesome, but this is actually just a really good game regardless! Absolutely fantastic queer rep all around, covering heavy themes in a very SFW even almost kid-friendly(teen-friendly, more like. Mostly because of the cussing though...) manner, and it's got amazing art!
The one thing I have to say is...I don't really like either of two endings besides the ghouls. The poly ending was pretty clearly added to throw in poly rep, and that's fine, not to mention it handles it really well, but it just feels hasty and not much like the ultimate ending you have to see both other endings in order to unlock that I expected. And I may be biased against Liam's ending because I accidentally got it on my first playthrough when I wasn't trying to(Don't get me wrong - love the guy and I was going to get his ending regardless...), but it just seems so...thrown together. It really does seem like Liam was an afterthought - I mean, that'd be understandable, too, considering it's called "My Sweet Zombie." It just doesn't make any sense If you're not going ONLY for Liam, and even then it still feels, how you say, forced? I mean, all this potential tension with the undead roommate and you can even kiss her(I think that's part of why I accidentally got his ending - I assumed the kiss was...bigger than it was. Is that my fault?) and then like...the next day or two set up a date with some guy from work. The absolute worst part about it, though, is we don't even get to see him finally finding out about the whole zombo thing. It's just off-handedly slipped in there after a time-skip as if it isn't important when it absolutely is!
That said, I do like how realistically it's treated. Sam still does the thing her parents want, but still manages a side-hustle to pursue her real passion. Liam also doesn't have a purely positive experience returning to his abandoned life, and still has ways to go with picking up that old lifestyle again. Although, that is kinda counteracted by the fact that the Zombo ending has the added bonus of showing abusive parents can still be redeemed...ah well, I'll take the one good thing about that ending as is.
Anyway, this was...longer than I wanted it to be, so let me sum up -
Zombabes, good. Queer and Racial representation without ever resorting to stereotypes or being in your face about it, good. Anti-parental authority messaging, good. Art and Soundtrack, good. Funi retail jokes and ridiculous hijinks, good. Bluntness and Lampshading, good. Disaster Lesbians, amazing. Liam and Poly Ending, weird. But overall, perfect! lol.
Hope you see this, Tsunderes! Also, amazing name.
I love this so much and it still holds up! Love to see such good trans rep with Sam. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
I am doing a let's play of it and I love it so far. Thank you for making such an adorable and awe inspiring game. I hope to see the greatest ending ever.

THIS WAS THE CUTEST. I enjoyed every minute of playing. I did the only romancing Nicole route because I'm not really into romancing guys (irl or games), but this was just perfect! The trans rep was awesome and I love how Sam was able to finally "grow a backbone" and stand up to her mom in the end. Overall, 10/10 game. :))
gay 10/10
Loved this game. Also at 1st didn't realize the mc was a trans woman until I got to the part with the estrogen pills. It was a very pleasant surprise. Also, I love Nicole and Sam. I went through Nicole's romance and I loved it. I won't be going through Liam's but that's just bc I'm not comfortable with romancing men in games. And won't be going through the poly route for the same reason just makes me uncomfortable to romance men but I did really like Liam he's a really cool dude. I also really liked Jane and kinda wish I could have romanced her along with Nicole at the same time. Edit: Just realized you also made pressing the side character never commented on it but I loved it when I played it a few months ago.
the fact that i almost got off my chair seeing Liam, i mean, who didn't want a bad guy but also funny all the time!
Not to mention Nicole, she so nice all the time with Sam, it's cute to see this game by yourself.
And not to mention a good experience/good time playing!
I loved this and i recommend to anyone who likes romantic stuff! well atleast i do so... 10/10 could play this 78 times and won't be bored of it!
I played this game a couple of months ago and it was the cutest thing ever- I especially loved the trans and poly representation, as it felt so genuine and relatable at times-- plus, finding good trans representation can be stupidly hard sometimes, as with poly rep. So seeing such nice and endearing representation throughout the game was really nice and wholesome :") Also, the art is just beautiful!! It's always a treat just admiring it along with the soundtrack as well :"P
I cried when it ended. I was SO obsessed with the character and Nicole and Sam. I wasn't really expecting alot from this, but instead I was so so so so surprised. I can't express how much I wan't those characters to live, including Liam and The other girl.
Nothing is better than a zombie gf!
This game is my first experience with a dating sim game and it's pretty good
especially the zombie girl path the ending really warm my heart. I really recommend this game 10/10.
Returns here finally after playing the demo back then. In no time we are greeted by the horror of being a coffee shop manager and also simulating of
how it feels to have to deal with three children (not literally; but yeah you can say that with the pain in the ass Sam receive; rip break). Also zombieooooooooookiessss.
Part 1
Part 2. It is clear Sam is stressed at work, but at least with Cozy (yeah I name her that) it's better???? THOUGH SAM SHOULD DEFINITELY GETS A WAGE INCREASE WITH ALL THE ISSUES AT WORK
Part 3!!!
Um yeah relatable totally Sam, feeling like you'll annoy people. Disturb them. So you don't talk much.... AND THEN THEY'RE ANGRY NOOOOOO
Part 4444!
Forgot to post it here :P
SO LIAM AND SAM IS MAKING PEACE, LOVELY BUT ALSO AHHHHHHH THEY'RE SUCH AWKWARD RELATIONSHIP HGLHSGLKDFL. LOVE IT.
Liam tho, even going to Sam's in the middle of the night. Epic.
Part 5, DIOS MIO JUST DATE ALREADY BOTH OF YOU HGLSHGLSKDLFJLDSJLFSDJL
But frl, legs.
Part 6, NOW TH-THE-THEY K-KI-KIS-KISS!!! WOAH! Frl I wonder if I can still go for the third ending with this....
this is actually one of the best VNs i played, zombie girl's route is the best <3 thank you for the game
I'm glad you liked zombie girl!! Thank you for playing!!
This is so adorable! After doing Nicole's route I just couldn't bring myself to do another.
Hehehe, glad you loved her so much!
This game is so cuuute! love it!
<3!!!!
Really fun visual novel! :D
Thank you!!!
i loved this game so much, one of my favorite visual novels and probably the best made one ive ever played.
binged zombie girl route in one night and then went to try other routes, also i have a question (line breaks bc spoilers)
do zombie girl and liam ever come out with each of their secrets (lying abt amnesia and making webtoons) in the poly ending? and does sam also start working as a baker? im assuming yes but its just not shown or maybe i didnt see it in the visual novel
Thank you so much!!!
They do, but yeah it's probably later in the future when they're comfortable enough. No big drama though, just a honest conversation. I think Sam probably would work as a baker and explore other options of what she might like to do (something she didn't get an opportunity to).
At this point, i dont even wanna do the other routes. I wanna live happy in my apartment with my zombie girlfriend :)
And that's fine!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It was great!! I think its one of my fav games :)
How do I get le poly ending? q.q
I played both routes, all I have to say is
💕💕💕💕💕
Update: I said that and then I immediately found the poly route lol SPOILERR:
DA BOI IS WEREWOLF yeeeeaaaa softcore furry shit......as Ally (zombie girl) said.... Dear God save me
Thank you!!! And hehehehe

Super cute,zombie puns and funny characters.Thank you for the game.<3
PS;OMG i did just read Liam's extra scene,and that really surprised me.I LOVED IT.
hehehehe, thank you!!!
Chapter names are great :D I agree with the others who said they could relate to the MC. I actually could relate to all the characters in one way or another. Really enjoying the game :)
I wanted to ask, is there any chance you'd allow payment with card? Or maybe you've got a ko-fi account or smth?
I have a ko-fi! But if you want to tip me, itch does have a tip feature too!
Can't believe I didn't realize I can just like...open your acc on here and see the info. Anyway, got u a coffee, better late than never :D
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH ; A ;
So so so so cute!
I played the zombie girl route (called her Zelda) and honestly she and Sam have such good chemistry it was hard not to grin throughout all their interactions.
I don't usually play otome games (or visual novels for that matter) but I'm so glad I decided to play this one!
Binged it all in one sitting bbyyy.
It is 3 am, I'm gonna be dead in the morning <3 100% worth it.
awwww!! ; v ; thank you!!!
Thank you so much for playing!!! And I'm glad you related a lot to Sam, since that was the goal for me! To have people relate to her struggles!
