Keyframes First Summer Teasers!

Heya! Some of you may already know, but there's a nifty little trend happening on Twitter and BlueSky for game devs called #TeaseYaGame. We've already participated in it by shilling some teasers for our amare visual novel, Keyframes. But now we're bringing those teasers here!

And so, without further ado, here's some snippets of the First Summer edition!

The official commercial update to the game will have:

🌄 Summer break on campus,

💕 Budding rom com crushes and,

📱20+ hangout events!

Hope y'all are looking forward to the release, which will arrive Summer 2026!

[ ◉ ¯] ☀️ Play our demo on Itch and Steam! ☀️

For… no particular reason at all 👀

Who designed Elio’s tattoos?

I’m so glad you asked anon! They were designed by Malik from Ka’eo Tattoo!

[blank-house]

okay now that we’ve officially seen cam’s tattoos…….i have GOT to know the meaning behind them!!!! if there’s ones that have specific meaning to cam, that is. i do recognize a couple (i.e. the haku one) but i’m very curious about the rest!!

Cameron’s tattoos are a culmination of their passion. Their left arm is full of media that they like, and their right arm is representative of their interests in the arts.

Either way, whatever you see on their patchwork sleeves is something that they drew themselves and asked a tattooist to tattoo on for them haha

EDIT: Oh and actually! Since the public has now seen Cameron’s tattoos:

Big thanks to Shimi for designing their sleeves for us! If y’all are ever in VA, hit her up! She was really lovely to work with not just for the game, but because a member of the dev team literally got tatted by her haha

Hi, so I saw in past responses that buying the game when its released will also include future updates so there won't me a need to buy the update or something like that. So the question is if that also is the case for the soundtrack? If I buy it now if you guys add more songs I won't need to buy it again as well to get them?

Yuuuuup! That should be the case, regardless of if you bought it on our Steam or itch.

[blank-house]

Yoo blank-house I hope you're doing okay!!

I was wondering if Elio would be capable to pick up a buff MC that's taller than him during the late night event (reference for my MC is 6' for 175 lbs / 185cm for 80kg 😄)

Thanks again and can't wait for summer 1!!

(asked on May 31st)

IM DEAD NOT THE TIMESTAMP EHFHEHEH

On our kofi— someone asked how much Elio could lift and we said that he was able to bench press 305lbs easy in high school. Granted he doesn’t hit the gym that hard anymore, but he’s still a strong boy 🙂‍↕️

[blank-house]

What's the cast's opinions on cuddle puddles? (Some people call it a puppy pile)

The cast approves uwu except for Reynah. ish. Yeah that’s all I’ll say about her. ^^,

We said it before but Jamie and Percy habitually take naps together haha. I do think that Deja and Cameron needs to be comfortable/close with the peeps involved but I don’t think they’ll say no once they got past that hurdle.

[blank-house]

i made this when i was starting to get obsessed (absolute cinema of a game. these characters haunt me. i wake up everyday wishing i was at wryn maye) (spoiler warning below(?))

i also made an elio and snailor one too (didn’t have any Js lying around)

Cuteeee??!!! Stop that's so cute uoghgh

[blank-house]

Hey I was wondering with the new post revealing Deja's new hairstyle, what hairstyle is her hair exactly? The back looks like french curl braids but the front's patterns do not look like that and give off cornrows than anything. I'm asking not just for me but my other friends as well! I don't mind if this gets privately answered btw I really am just curious.

No no you got it! The specific terminology we received from our consultants was: Fulani braids that go down to French curls.

Since it’s the hot summer season we wanted to make sure she can have a cute little updo that would also work while she was at the lake.

Shout out to our consultants for patiently teaching us what would and wouldn’t make sense aha

is percy a male manipulator cuz he drinks matcha, cuffs his jeans, and probably listens to clairo on vinyl..

LMAO he doesn’t listen to Clairo nor owns vinyl if that might help

[blank-house]

I love love loooove the voice cast for Keyframes they’re so fitting for the characters TwT (seven is literally percy its uncanny)

Will future seasons be fully voice acted or will it be like it is now with just the phone calls and few other moments? If the latter, it’s totally fine i get it can be a bit much and you should always put yourselves first! Love ya <3

And don’t forget to eat proper food and drink WATER!!! You can’t survive off a diet of exclusively caffeine ( •̀⤙•́ )

The cast is quite iconic ^^ I’m truly grateful that we were all able to connect and work together on this project.

But to answer your question, it’ll remain the same as it is right now with partial voice acting. I’d love to have it tho if we had more money but alas. Fully voice acting 300k+ words is a lot of money lol

[blank-house]

Will we be able to get the previous monthly rewards if we couldn't before?

yes, this is answered in our Q&A! digital rewards should be accessible as soon as you subscribe. physical rewards get reprints every three months (i.e. if you missed march/april/may, you'll be able to purchase these in june as part of the reprints!)

[blank-house]

So since we LI's can react differently to fem/masc leaning mcs will we be getting more of that in summer? Since it's swimsuit season

If you’re asking in regard to the possibility of swimsuits/MC showing more skin? Prolly not?

Besides, that’s not what we want to use the feminine or masculine or both or neither presenting variables for. ^^,

[blank-house]

first of all - thank you so much for making this game ! I played it recently and I absolutely fell in love . By the time I headed to Kickstarter , you guys were funded - which I'm STOKED for . This is , without competition , the best romance game iv'e ever played - the dialogue was just so ....whoah , uk ? I'm rambling , but I just wanted to say all my love and thanks . Especially for Elio 🤭. I'm DYING for summer - and I was wondering, while I know it takes a ton of time , will it be available by June ? Or later 🥀 because I'm dying of thirst here .

I think this is a good post to say— go check out our Steam page haha

[blank-house]

hiii--- to start off, i love keyframes so much!!! i haven't felt this much joy and whimsy playing a game in a long time

onto my question... how do our LIs act around a mc who is male/masc-presenting... is there any difference compared to a female/fem-presenting mc? i don't want to miss out on any moments or changes in demeanor 'cause my mc is male/masc-presenting 🙏🙏

haha, really the only one that initially reacts differently is elio! he's more nervous around fem-presenting mcs earlier on, but he'll also immediately backflip with a masc-presenting and androgynous mcs later once he Realizes Some Things About Himself, lol.

so, you don't lose anything! you just get it a little later.

Is it just me or do you have to kinda coax Percy into admitting he likes playing rpg games during the chores event? I’m curious on why!

Whoa that’s weird. Wonder why he does that 🤔
