It adds a handful of brief sound effects and voice clips to the game! Installation instructions are included. There are no audio files in the introduction, and they show up occasionally after that. A little over 10 audio files play in total.

I have loved every moment playing this game. It's so well crafted, from the storytelling, to the accuracy of the character writing, to the gorgeous art and sprites! This is the gold standard for fan games. I felt like it was made by the GF team themselves, it's so professional and clean and polished. Well done, my friend, a round of uproarious applause to you!
I NEED MORE!! Definitely agree with Wicket- that Ford's route felt a little empty compared to Stan's (that might just be because i played Stan's route first tho), but both were wonderful and felt pretty accurate to the characters
Bro i cant play this on my browser
for people saying how to play it in android use joiplay emulator
Please... Android... 🥺
IM SOBBING WHY WONT IT WORK ON CHROMEBOOK
I KNOW RIGHT? T^T
Plsss make a android version 😭😭😭
(I'm not good in english so i'll write in spanish) Oh Dios mío! Es una de las novelas visuales más buenas que he jugado en la vida! La verdad no sabía que podía sentir algo por Ford o Stan hasta que jugué esto. En serio, amé todo: el guión, los personajes, las ilustraciones, el background; todo es como una obra de arte. Aunque me hubiera gustado que en la ruta de Ford hubiera algo con un poquito más de ✨spice✨, como en la ruta de Stan tal vez? Y definitivamente me encantaría una secuela para saber hasta dónde llegó la relación con cada uno de ellos, y pasar un momento lindo y sin interrupciones inesperadas hahahaha.
Muy buen trabajo y, aunque no todo sea de GF, ¡definitivamente quiero ver más de su contenido!🩷🩷🩷🩷
I need this on android
GRUNKLE STUNKLE WINS THE FUNKLE BUNKLE
help I cant even get into it ive tried on my chromebook and ipad 😭
I loved this so much actually. It was great on stan's part but very empty-ish on Ford's part. I wish there was like a sequel or one dedicated all to stan and one all to ford. I really loved this and I cannot express how much I enjoyed it. Please make more or something. it doesn't have to be this week, or this month, or even this year, but I really want more. If you don't wanna make more.. okay I guess. I'll be sad, yeah, but I guess I'll just go make more bots on c.ai.
Thank you for this amazing game. I appreciate it and it definitely earned a follow. I'd tip but I have no cash :3
thank you to my classmate for introducing me to this masterpiece
android version when 🙏🙏🙏
what a fu is that
plz make a CROME OS one plz
know what ? i will try and see how it is,i am lowkey excited
Need this on mobile DESP
I know this is probably PG but just to be safe is there anything particularly risque in this game? My mom is a huge GF fan and I want to play it with her :)
Not really unless you get to the end of the Stan Route, and even that isn't TOO bad. Ford's is completely harmless though! :)
make an iOS version please :(
fr living out my wattpad childhood dreams right now. more... MORE!!!
Accidentally fueled my 50/50 on the fence crush on Stanley Pines. Now I have a 100/100 crush on Stanley Pines. I will be suing and losing.
MOBILE VERSION NOW.
How to get pool thing???
UGH WHY CAN'T I KISS FORD ON THE LIPSSSSSS-
you gotta get a perfect run for that </3 either do what i did and replay it like 6 times till u get it or just find the walkthru :3
so worth the kiss imo LOL
UGHHHH ALL I HAVE IS THIS STUPID GLITCHY TABLET I CANT PLAYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
OMG SAME! I NEED A LAPTOP OR SOMETHING 🥲😔😔
Use JoiPlay!
I downloaded but cant play it! theres no button :
OMG Stanford pines??? Is that you??
Please make an iOS version 😭
wait how do I play it.. like I downloaded it but I don’t see any button to start it😕
this tut is for windows only cuz ion know abt apple or other things.. when u download the windows version itll go into ur files! once the download is finished u can right click the compressed file u got and click extract all
once its extracted itll make another folder and ur gonna double click that folder (to tell the difference of your two folders, the extracted one doesnt have a zipper on it!)
there should be a file in ur folder titled "grunkle dating sim 1.1" click that
it opens another area with files. and u should clikc the one titled GrunkleDatingSim
theres three titled that tho, so if u look to the right of the title it will say Application and 153 kb
click the application twice and it will open the sim!!
i hope this helps youu :33
