I love this game I wish there was a continuation of this story of their life in college or something like that that would be nice to see there whole life basically 

Greetings Cave Manon,

Besides being a small game creator, I run a steam curator group entitled Tiiioelcidlopez Reviews where I review AAA and indie titles. Any chance you are looking for some review coverage?

 Curator Page

If so, let me know or send an email found on the page about thanks.

Just had to comment Peak game got ending 4 which is the only ending in my opinion (the other ending hit me in the feels in a bad way)

I'm going to work on buying this game.... "Why?" You ask? because I want to hug this gator!!!

Dear cavemanon,

I really hope that you guys make more games like this, as I truly enjoy playing these kinds of games—interspecies romances in which a monster, dinosaur, cat person, dog person, etc.—where they are interested or will fall in love with a human. In addition, this game has the most satisfying plot that anyone could have imagined; it's wholesome but also incredibly sad and relatable to some. 

Overall, I give it a perfect 100 out of 100. The character designs are adorable and their interactions are hilarious at times. sadly, these kinds of games put me into a trance because I'm constantly curious about what would happen to the characters as I imagine that their daily lives go on just like any other, which left me feeling sad and tranced. I felt like there could have been more, but overall, I really enjoyed the game. Thanks 

Sincerely, Anonymous

Love and adore it, but i just wish it was longer/ more days and wish the were more different dialogue interactions that actually changed how the characters responded

I played the demo and I thought it was wonderful, but I was sad knowing that I couldn't buy it, I don't know why it doesn't make the purchase and I really wanted to play it.

Not gonna lie I really wani hug that gator

Can someone help me with the mods? I'm on android and can't figure out how to access the mod page for android, if there even is one.

Currently in a depressive phase, this visual novel moved me in a way I can hardly describe. I experienced a real adventure and became so attached to each of the characters, sharing intimately in each of their emotions. It was a storm of happiness that rocked me throughout this magnificent tale, and reaching the end of this novel was, for me, a form of mourning. 

It was such a unique experience, the fact that I won't be able to discover more of this universe breaks my heart but creates unforgettable memories. Thank you for everything, Cavemanon team. 

I beg you, give us more, your work is so far one of the most beautiful and authentic experiences of visual novel that I've had the opportunity to live, whether through graphics, music or writing.

Thank you again, I can't praise you enough. I selfishly wish you all the success your indie projects can bring you. I can't wait to see if your next works will be as powerful and sweet as this one.

Love y'all

I love these games cus I love the artistic inspiration, and the writing.  I would LOVE a art book of these games, think for gator game it could even maybe cost something. Just an idea if ya'll need money for the new Exit 665. <4

Bravo Team Cavemanon! Whatever peak you sought, you reached it and then flew over it! I've clocked an easy 12 hours playing and replaying this game over this weekend. Starting out with the d and bought the full version quickly after. 

Getting the "Bad End" was probably the biggest motivator in that binge. I couldn't just leave it like that. Felt like I owed it to the characters. That all said, what a ride man! I really hope this just Cavemanon's epic start in the world of gaming. Because you guys make diamonds. 

Absolutely worth the price of admission guys, if you are thinking of buying it. I know I didn't regret it!

Never really tried this type of stuff before. I was on iFunny they were recommending it which for iFunny standards is unusual but besides that my first hour I was absolutely lost in it. I couldn't stop hell I was having this on the side when I was playing a game at the time and I stopped immediately to continue this. The story the character development the art I'm at a lost for words. This game has made me feel emotions i can't even express in words. I want more damnit but there probably won't be anymore which makes me sad. I'm glad got to play this game. I'll never forget it. 10/10

"I want more damnit but there probably won't be anymore which makes me sad" I present: AO3 
And you may have heard of Snoot Game (by the same devs), play that, it is similarly moving. And then check the AO3 archive and mods for that. There may also be mods for Wani but I haven't looked around yet myself yet. Happy days!

hey there! creator of the phone system used in the game here.

i totally did not expect my framework to be used in such a big and successful game. you can't even imagine my surprise when i saw my phone in the steam trailer that i checked just because a friend told me about it

good stuff good stuff, especially the art. i don't play vns a lot. i didn't expect to be invested a lot, but i guess i ended up binging through the entire thing in just a few days jrekbsqdfejqdsfz;celsk<fd,kled

i was a bit frown-faced (idk if that's even a wordnjksfbqhdj) when i didn't see my name in the credits (not that it's mandatory)

but anyways ill go back to... uhhh... coding cool shit

Justice for Elckarow; give homie his/her flowers. It's rare to come across a fun and interactive phone UI in a Renpy game, that doesn't make you want to throw your phone. 

Oh my god 

it's real

This is truly so far the finest visual novel i've played. The characters, the story, the presentation and choices with agency... it all adds up to form one of 2024's most interestering experiences.

Hello, how do I get the steam key?

This developer's blog post should be able to help you:

Este juego es cine, simplemente es hermoso, aun lo estoy experimentado pero lo que he visto hasta ahora es, no puedo describirlo bien con palabras, Es CINE

(+7)

Can't stop thinking about it, the writing and art is amazing. Like someone else said I'm thirsting for more content involving Olivia and the gang in some way 

(+1)

Amazing game but the new android version doesn't update the old one so saves/progress doesn't carry over.

I love this game so much.

Exelente juego ya está al español!!! compralo que estas esperando :D

(+5)

Got it on Steam. Honestly was not expecting much but you guys did a great job with it and the animated parts are fantastic. Would like to see more on this series itself, comic/game/show whatever. Really like the characters and story

Amazing! I loved snoot game and im loving this game, thank you for makeing  the most fun visual novels I've played in a long time. edit I would definitely buy a VVurm Drama shirt. Edit number 2, Now that I've finished the game I can really only describe it as beautiful. Thank you.

Android Version launches. Still says demo but that's whatever.

also I think I'm in the ending stretch, and I think I ended up with best for my first time, lord please let there be those kinds of far off into the future endings with weddings, kids, and shit that snoot game had, also now for my legit reason for being here, this game is already gargantuan compared to snoot and amazing as all hell, perhaps even better, but will we be getting extras like snoot?

Hey just wanted to inform that the Android port is just not working. gives me this error

I had the same issue, unfortunately. Hopefully it gets fixed soon!

(+3)

will we be getting  a gallery function?

Will you guys be adding an android port?

Experimental android port just dropped

https://cavemanon.itch.io/i-wani-hug-that-gator/devlog/683339/v1010-release

I tried downloading it but now it just says that an exception has occured

Can confirm two different android devices returned an error on startup.
