Love love LOVEEE this game!! The characters and story telling is wonderful and all around just a breath of fresh air when it comes to visual novels. I am so excited to see this game at launch and I can't wait to play the full version 💗🤗
this is such a cute and funny game! i’m not usually into visual novels but i think validate has changed my opinion on them. i can’t wait for the full release
I've been following the progress of this game for a while and this game makes me so so sooo happy!!! It is so wonderful getting to see people who look just like me trying to navigate their way through the complicated storm that can be relationships, and it has well-structured, well-written characters, something that we don't always get in games like this!!! Not only that but I'm so stoked to see some real good queer POC representation!!! Validate is an awesome game, 10000/10 would play again!!!
Validate is a beautiful, beautiful game! The premise and character design had me hooked from the start. Inaya, Isabelle, and Malik are well-rounded and relatable, which makes this stand out among many other attempts at realism in this genre. This game is a total gem.
the updated visuals, UI, and those CGs in the April 2022 demo??? I am reeling. I knew Malik x Arihi was gonna end me but I wasn’t prepared for Inaya’s routes to hit me like they did. This game is setting the standard for mature character forward VNs. The fact that this demo is free and so full of content is so generous of the devs too, hats off to team Validate! Looking forward to the official release!
i downloaded the demo both here and on steam but I can't play it, the game loads but it gets stuck on a white screen after the grey loading screen and i'm not really sure what to do :/(windows 10)
edit: I tried again four hours later and it works now! not sure what was wrong but I guess it must have been my computer. :)
it doesn't open on that screen, it opens onto a black screen that just has the words "demo build" in the top right. no clicking, of the left click or space bar, is working. :(((
Had a blast with this demo! I had issues at first since I tried playing the itch.io demo on my MacBook, but the steam demo worked great for me! I played the old demo and I really enjoyed that as well, but I absolutely loved the updated sprites and UI. I remember the story for Malik/Arihi and Isabelle/Malik, but the dialogue and narration for these routes were still very much funny and relatable and touching. Loved being able to play Inaya's route this time! I thought it was sweet :') (Also love love love the Yolanda sprites mwah)
Super excited to meet the rest of the cast! Thanks for all the hard work :-) <3
Don't know if it's a bug or if the audio is stacking. Started playing Inaya/Yolanda's route and the soft doo-doo-doo music started. Finished that route, played other routes and the soft doo-doo-doo music kept playing in the background of the other music, kind of playing together. It's not very noticeable when the music for other routes play because it's louder but it's still there
Hi! I have a Mac and i seem to have an issue being able to play? I can get to the character screen but anytime I try to play a date my computer just gets stuck on the page about it being a demo, and when I went to settings it also froze. Like anytime I get past the intro. Is anybody else having a similar issue?
Hi! We are having some issues with our mac build on Itch.Io but we have been told our Steam Mac build is working. Please play it here! http://steam.validategame.com/
Okay I got it with Steam and I really liked it! I liked the new art improvements they looked really nice. I think Isabelle was my favorite characters out of all the demos like I liked her personality the most, Malik's story got the most laughs out of me I think, and wirh Inaya's I think I related to like emotionally. It was all very good all around and I'm very excited for when it releases 🥰
Concerned by the big number under "playable characters": is this going to be a big collection of little stories as opposed to like.. branching longform?
Hi! So we will have 13 playable characters, in the first volume there will only be four characters to play as and you can meet the other 9 characters by playing through all of their routes. We have two more volumes with four characters each planned for release in the next two years plus DLC for our last character.
In each volume, there will be a chance to play as one of the four characters. Each character will have 7 total routes (1 intro and 1 epilogue and 5 date/friend routes) so you will meet every character at least once in the first volume.
excellent work you guys! the new demo looks gorgeous and i loved all the routes in it! the old demo was good but you guys managed to make this new one even better! very excited for the full game xoxo
Can't wait for the full game! Had a lot of fun in Inaya's route and it was really neat seeing the updated dialogue/sprites between the old and new demos.

Great! Sorry about that, if it happens again just hit escape to skip the intro and you shouldn’t have that issue anymore. :)
i was having the same issue, so i did this, but once you hit escape it just gets frozen on the demo build screen :((
I already replied to a comment you left on another comment. If it doesn't work please reply to this one!

Thank you for pointing this out! We're going to attempt to get this fixed!
Absolutely loved this new demo!! Keep up the great work y'all!! ^-^

Absolutely phenomenal work by an independent company, incredibly impressive.

I cannot wait for the full release! Finally can see a cast of non white characters find some romance!
