i played this a few years ago when it came out, A CLASSIC!!!
it won’t let me get it! I have the right account and everything! I’ve tried everything, someone help meeee
I NEEEED a sequel of the player returning a while later and maybe even marrying their chosen grunkle? PLS..
also thank you for making me cry at the end
ok so I've been through the ford route x2 and I still can't get the pool scene and can't get the 5th picture, what am I doing wrong?
Well.. that was a BIG lie Mr. Ford.
*toxic billford yaoi cannon*
i love how this is not nsfw i now give you my life please never die
do you consider making out as nsfw
I love you for making this game never die
Okay this is way too realistic 'cause literally the first choice is "Reassure him" "Reassure yourself" and "Cry" which are literally my choices in real life wtf
UMH ALSO IT'S LIKE INTERACTIVE FANFICTION I'M OBSESSED
Making my name "Shmebulock" was a good choice.
HAHAHAHHAH
Just want to say, This Game is Amazing!!!! Love that the characters are so accurate to them from the show. I'd love to see a sequel of this when the player returns to Gravity Falls a few years later, after keeping tabs with which ever Grunkle they'd dated. Overall, Just a really fun experience.
I wish this was available on Android 😞
wish harder
😊🥰😍🤓
I wish i could play this game on android
so I went to download the top one since it had the penguin and I play on Chromebook, but it wont let me install it, the file isn't coming up with 'install with linux' in my folders so I cant play it :/ (I don't even know why I want play, I don't even like them like that, I'm just board) Edit: just found the bit on the help page saying it doesn't work on Chromebook :(
Didn't Alex Hirsch play this?
Yeah he did XD
EM MINHA LISTA DE JOGOS(ainda vou baixar e jogar❤️❤️)
this was TOO GOOD. i'm an avid Grunkle Stan lover and his route did NOT disappoint. it was actually so sweet. i'm giggling, crying, kicking my feet. gonna grab my diary and my glittery pen
This has to be one of the most wholesome dating dames I ever played, I really enjoyed it normally I find wholesome ones to be corny at times but this made me giggle and kick my feet. I enjoyed the story, the romance scenes between mc and the stans are so sweet and cute that I hated having it to end. This perfect and brought me back my early days of why I love romance games.
AMAZING
grunkle stan gave me virus
legit or are you joking
joking lol
I LOVE THIS GAME SM AAAAA!!!
this image haunts me on every corner of the internet, its is truly everywhere. billfords legacy (positive its hilarious)
There is no Android version ;-;
I would like to try this game but it is not available for Android :(
Fr thoo
AH! loved it so much, fell in love with stan ALL over again- especially when we act as a ring bearer for Mabel
DO A SECOND PART OF THE GAME ❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗
Why can't I play it only says download
its because your trying to play it on mobile, it can only be played through Windows, Mac, and Linux.
I came here because the art looked pretty incredible, and my suspisions have been confirmed. Amazing game, although I will admit I did not expect it to escalate so quickly from monster-hunting with Ford to politely escape Mabel's... uh... stuff.
I fall at the feet of the author of this game
it just said ‘inappropriate file type or format’ and wouldn’t let me play the game.
okay… I tried to play it but I realized NO MOBILE 😫😫 so… if you see my comment, PLEASE DO MOBILEEEE
and I can't believe at all dipper is in the game I felt like I am a character form gravity falls and also creator of this game this is the most fun dating sim
Gh0stV4mp 82m I swear if u just say that in another it like this game u 100% an attention seaker
'i haven't played this game' yet have the confidence to judge us, LOLLL
I personally think this game is disgusting.
This is my opinion, You play the game and have your opinions.
I never played it, but I find dating GRUNKLE STAN disgusting!
Please don't hate me or think I'm hating on the creators, that was only a opinion.
you do you.
I was reading that minding your business was free and improves your quality of life.
You called the game disgusting and then asked people not to think you're hating on the creators? Really?
If this game isn't one you would like to play, that's totally fine, but what's the point in coming here to say that? You want attention or what?
The creators put effort into making this game, you should be respectful and keep your opinions to yourself.
you could've just said nothing at all tbh.
The way u literally went out of ur way to find this page and type this. U could have just not said anything and kept scrolling but nah u specifically chose to come on here and voice that u think this passion project that the creators obviously put a ton of work into is disgusting
Creator offended.
Opinion rejected.
I just need to know what your thought process was: were you scrolling, saw a game, and just felt the need to make others feel bad about themselves? Even if it is 'just your opinion,' why did you feel the need to post your disgust? Just so you can laugh to yourself "haha I'm better because instead of having an obsession with fictional characters I let my narcissism consume me"? People like you shouldn't be allowed out of the ward.
Incorrect
both of the Stans are hot
change my mind.
Then~
a) don't play it
b) keep your unnecessary opinions to yourself, nobody wants to hear them
c) I'm in your walls
You're funny please don't spontaneously combust
I'll try my bes- 💥
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
