To Judge By The Cover
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Eric is a talented game developer who struggles with work and personal life because of his ADHD.
One day, on mom's advice, he decided to visit the book club located in the old municipal library, and it changed his life.
Right at the first meeting, he caught the attention of four handsome members. What is it if not fate?
But be careful, Eric! Because each of them keeps skeletons in their closet!
The first build was created in the bounds of Nikko's "Love + Attraction Jam 2025" jam.

We are doing our best to update the game as soon as possible, so please keep following us💚
I don't know if it's just my browser bugging out but just in case you have a really light background colour and really light text and I can't read any of it without highlighting it. If it's not just on my end then you need to fiddle with your page and make the text darker, if that's not what's happening on your end then ignore me as my browser like implodes.
Can you please send a screenshot in our Discord?
Done
It is probably Forced Dark Mode, I just had to turn it off for the page myself. If you use OperaGX, this is something that happens on a lot of pages. Right-click somewhere on the page that isn't a link and there should be a "Disable force dark page" in the menu.
That's so good to know
