Near-death experience usually forces many people to reminisce about their past, bright and happy memories. So does MC, reliving his most brilliant memory - his first love. And with old wounds still open and new yet to heal, Main Character is forced to go back to his parental house and his old dysfunctional family. Being stuck there, fighting demons of past and present, he wonders about love. Why did the girl he loved abandon him and their love child? Has she ever loved him? Is she alive and still remembers him? Should he move on and try to establish something new with someone else? Maybe with a woman he always looked up to? Or with his partners or friends? Someone else entirely? Or should he focus the rest of his life on raising his daughter right? Follow the MC on his paths of uncovering truths and fixing mistakes as he tries to sort out his love life and protect his daughter in Hard to Love.

First 4 episodes were great, but couldn't finish the 5th, due to the change to the relationship between the MC and his Mom and Sisters.

I just wish people would stop pandering to Patreon and it's stupid polices. At least make a patch for us who prefer the original relationships.

how can i found that slime who ate the mushroom?

very good game so far..I just finished 0.062 where MC left his mother lying in her bed..when can we expect the next update? thanks

(+2)

Honestly this could of been decent but the MC is just way too damn whiny all the time it's annoying. I was actually hoping someone would beat some sense into him at some point, not metaphorically either.

Anyway good luck with the game but it's not for me.

First of all you have a well deserved applause for the character designs and the story of this VN, I look forward to the next chapter.

have you thought about future translations of the game, e.g. in Spanish, French or Portuguese? 

Hi dev first of all your game is great and is there any chance of pregnancy in future updates for this game

(+1)

do you need to download 1-4 and then 5 or can you just download 5 and have all episodes?

how do you avoid Amber blowjob?

Deleted post

My bad... Should be fixed now.

Can't download the earlier episodes for pc :(

The recent update which ive been looking forward to was not actually an update it was a small forgotten dlc to the update before xD

i played for 30 minutes now, and i feel this this game will be so tragic.  I love the atmosphere though, gives me “life is strange: before the storm” vibes

(+2)(-1)

The little sister's attitude change when you don't show interest was a turn off & the MC seems kind of dumb. I tried rejecting the woman that calls the MC her babe but didn't do anything.

Kudos to whoever designs the outfits. Great work. Sexy and fucking hot 🔥🔥🔥.

(+3)

That little sister has a big ass forhead

👍🏻👍🏻

Great Game

Great renders and very entertaining game... Well made.

Pregnancy is planned?? Love your game by the way!!!

Nice game beautiful characters

Did writers change? 0.03's content feels vastly different than the previous content. MC feels like a completely different person even in the present-day scenes. Also very surprised the story seems to take place in Japan considering most of the cast up until now weren't Japanese and the setting seemed to be a western country of some sort. Will this be expanded on and explained later?

Hi. You have to unzip the content of that zip ("patch.rpy" and/or "patch.rpyc") in the folder called "game" inside the HardtoLove folder.

(-1)

Hey dev, are you gonna release the android version of these game, or you stop in 0.02 alpha for android

If this story about his wife leaving because them having a hard time or just irresponsible, well shit i dont know what to say because this is only alpha version but i hope that their mother/wife leaving entirely on different reason and hopefully they will get back in the end of this VN. If not then i dont know what will happen to my heart 

How does one apply the patch to the game?

Hi. You have to unzip the content of that zip ("patch.rpy" and/or "patch.rpyc") in the folder called "game" inside the HardtoLove folder.

Great!  How will I know if I applied it right?  Like I don't want spoilers, but what scenes in what chapters will change?

Hi. What it changes is the text, the relationships between the characters.

Ah, yeah, I'm pretty sure it worked.

Such a amazing game😍😍

Sad to say. I wanted to run the Android version. But don't know how to do this. Could you put a readme file in it. Or build a simple APK file. I would really be happy. Looks good. K.thx.bye

Hello, thank you for your interest in our game. Sorry for stating that it was compatible with Android. We didn't realize we checked that box. But I will try to contact ASAP with someone who can make a port for Android and post it here. Thank you.

Hi, I have linked an unnoficial android version with walkthrough made by Cebs (f95 user). The link is up here.

Hi. Did you download the lastest version? (Hard to Love 0.01 RC1)

yes from direct in itch and just crashed 3 times in s row

Hi. Sorry for the inconvenience, but could you tell us what is the exact name of the file you downloaded (ending in -PC, -MAC, or Market)? 

Hard to Love 0.01 RC1, PC, https://qorigaming.itch.io/hard-to-love/purchase

Hello. Thank you for replying. Could you please try to put these RPY and RPYC files on the /game/ folder of our game. I hope it works now.  LINK

PC version 

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

After initialization, but before game start.

  File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 80, in _init_language

Hi, did you download the file called "patch"?

No I didn't as the download for the patch file said if you downloaded it from somewhere else. So I never downloaded it.

Ok, ty. I'll check it out.

(+1)

You might want to test your games as it seems there are more then just the one error I posted in the game. The screens.rpy error was fixed with some editing but right after that you'll hit another error.

While running game code:
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable

So I would suggest testing it some and make sure all of the bugs are gone.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We have already tested and uploaded the fixed version.
