About
DEMO AVAILABLE! ➤
John route and Cain route now both available to play. Wave two, Gary and Akio, will be coming next.
As longtime aficionados of both visual novels and romcom anime we've spent the past few years pouring our heart and soul into Goodbye Dreaming, a slice-of-life dating sim that follows Robin as she explores college life and escapes her mother's shadow. Unlike many other dating sims we wanted to create a game that doesn't just end when the characters get together, but also explores the complexities of how the relationship develops afterwards.
We have a cast of six charming characters for the player to romance, but be careful! Not everyone has Robin's best interests at heart.
Cain (CV. Tom Aglio) ー [OUT NOW] ー A perpetually tired charmer juggling part-time jobs to provide for his younger sibling, his only present family. Slowly chipping away at his business degree.
John (CV. Griffin Puatu) ー [OUT NOW] ー A sporty, well-liked guy that somehow slips everyone's mind. Too nice for his own good, but has trouble opening up to people. Loves to read.
Gary (CV. Lucas Gilbertson) ー [COMING IN WAVE 2] ー A happy-go-lucky guy with no personal space bubble. Studying to be a forensic scientist. Intelligent, emotional, and occasionally overwhelming.
Akio (CV. Belsheber Rusape) ー [COMING IN WAVE 2] ー A naive, arrogant rich kid who cut ties with his family to pursue his passion for art. Huffy, dramatic, and hates being incapable.
Elliot (CV. Brett Bauer) ー [COMING IN WAVE 3] ー A quiet, grumpy guy studying to be a vet. Wants to be cool, but his streak of bad luck and lack of chill always end up sabotaging him.
Avalon (CV. Carol Anne Day) ー[COMING IN WAVE 3] ー Robin's best friend since high school and current roomie. Energetic, independent, and meddlesome. A ride or die friend.
And last but not least, the protagonist herself:
Robin (CV. Melissa Dorsey) ー A down-to-earth and quietly sarcastic girl who used to be a goody-two-shoes. Was salutatorian in high school. Cut ties with her mother and ran away to college to discover what she wants from life. Introverted and bookish, but trying to expand her world.

Reviews
I backed this game on Kickstarter. It’s really great that some of the stories have released. I enjoyed reading them and appreciated how very different the two stories available are. [spoiler] One of them made me physically anxious, which I imagine was the goal. [/spoiler] For those who want to know a little more about the game, it has a long prologue and not too long routes. I don’t think I’m an especially slow or fast as a reader and it took almost two hours to reach a character route and then around two and half hours for the routes. This is a spoiler, but if you’re someone who only likes certain genres of VNs you may want to know this- [spoiler] It isn’t always a pure slice-of-life story. There can be supernatural elements. [/spoiler] Unfortunately, a notable critique I have to give is with John's CGs. The art style is different for the CGs than the sprites which I don't mind, but his skin color doesn’t look right in multiple pieces. I don’t like critiquing art as I’m not an artist, but it was noticeable to me. If there’s any way that can be changed and is altered, I’d be very glad to know.
