Socially Awkward
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
Socially Awkward is a semi-linear spooky-comedy-drama following the foibles of Jayce: a neurotic, awkward cat starting his college life in a strangely dangerous world of social interactions and intrigue. Laugh at his horny antics as you follow along one of four different routes to find love, ice cream, and friendship (and maybe some dick.)
It all begins at Lupework Academy; a prestigious college ranked 13th in the entire country (out of 13 total state colleges), where you can encounter Tom, your sexy leonine cyclist childhood simp friend. (Choose to go right, then sit.)
Rask, a naive wolven trust-fund baby in need of a hug (Choose to go left, then choose to go back)
Maccon, the spicy latin bicycle that everyone wants to take for a ride (Choose to go left, then stay) (WARNING INCOMPLETE AND WAITING ROUTE REMAKE)
Or John, a horrible little gremlin that no one should choose! (but you will anyway.) (Go right, then move to sit by him). (WARNING INCOMPLETE AND WAITING ROUTE REMAKE)
Follow along on our free passion project of himbos, horrors, hilarity, and hunkles. For free! Did I mention it's free? It's FREEEEE!!! Download it. It will give you the happy feelings :3

Hi if there any chance of teer gonna be main route?
i just have half of the game, dint reached anything nsfw yet and i already fell in love with it.
I just feeled indentified with the main character, liked the character design and for now, i really loving the story.
im not exactly glued to twitter lol
is monchi alive
Yes, he's alive. On the Twitter account/X, I announced that there would be an update soon.
This is probably one of the best visual novels ive ever played holy shit- there's so many unique sprites and unlike other mc's jayce has such an amazing personality.. there is one gripe i have with this game however, even while I love the Tom route but will probably end up going the john route, WHERE IS THE DAVID ROUTE RAAAAAAAA!! David is probably my favorite character design and probably even personality wise- so I feel he deserves more spotlight at some pointtt! And if no david- more johnnn hehehehe
Mud! Mud! Mud!
i wonder if this is dead
No its not :3 i hope soo :( I mean i hope its not dead...
There's any of the route complete already? Or which one is the one that has more content?
Tom’s route and rask’s route are currently the longest ones, none of the routes are finished
any info on patreon
not much, like monchi said, it’s really just for donations, theres occasionally exclusive images but its rare
💔
I love this VN!!! It's a 10/10 amazing!!! If I can I'll support in any way I can! I must know what happens! From the characters to the strange story I'm still trying to put together, it's absolutely amazing!! I work of art I say!!!
hows monchi today?
same
I can't wait for the next update!
hey mochi im curious wat with the lack of updates
Don't worry, everything in due time x3
There are still frequent posts on Twitter, so don't worry!
oh my
*foaming on the streets*
hello mochi u alive
im not sure
So is this game dead? just curious
No, it's just that writing and coding, with some editing, doing some cgs, backgrounds, probably changing how the sprites look like; nevermind changed his mind, maybe the old sprites looked better. Doing the bgm, so of course more coding. While having real life businesses that needs to be tended to, probably a job or something personal, a long weekend without rest, a month of recovery from what he had finished with the current build.
"I really like your work. Although English is not my first language, I’m still very eager to analyze the storyline. From the character models, plot, to the art style, everything is both humorous and excellent. It really draws me in. I’ve played through the storylines of John, Maccon, Tom, and Rask. Among them, I especially liked Rask's storyline. Although Tom’s route has the most sincere emotions, I also really like the character David. He’s not very talkative, but has a strong appeal. It would be great if he were a romanceable character as well.
Here’s a small issue I encountered during gameplay:
In Rask’s route, there’s a sentence I couldn’t fully understand. I’m sorry for the confusion, as English isn’t my native language.
"that's basically what Yaya Jose does... Am I rich?"
那基本上就是雅雅何塞做的事...我算有钱人？
What does Yaya Jose refer to? Is it the name of a race or something? I couldn’t find this term anywhere else in the game, so I’m a bit lost.
I also found a small bug. Tom’s character model seems to shift upwards by a few units, especially during the part in Tom’s route when Tom and the protagonist are buying clothes and changing outfits. It could also be a compatibility issue on my end.
"You see \[name] skulking towards the men's fitting room as if he's trying to steal them. But you shrug it off and join him outside the room he entered."
There are also some minor issues, such as the protagonist’s waving gesture blocking some text. This experience wasn’t very pleasant, but it’s nothing too serious.
Actually, I’m using Simplified Chinese, and the fan-made translation for this game that’s available on the market is version 0.29. They haven’t updated it since then (probably abandoned). Of course, the 0.29 version isn’t enough for us, so I didn’t play their outdated translation but instead downloaded the latest version and tried to translate it myself. So, if I were to ‘localize’ this game, would you mind if I share it with my friends? I feel such an excellent game shouldn’t be buried."
"Yaya", I believe, means nanny/caretaker/maid. I also do notice Tom's sprite moving upwards too but I thought it was deliberate because the position resets after a few minutes, though it still continue to move.
MOOOREEE TOOOOM
Legit the funniest VN I've ever played and it isn't even close lol. Can't wait for more on John's route. Love that horny gremlin and I'm a sucker for the childhood best friend trope
Please more MACOOOOON I beg
Rask and David are my favorites :3
JAYCE IS SO ME

WHERE IS MACOON PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE I NEED THIS
cant wait till the next rask update
Rask is such a goober..I WANT MORE‼️
OMG I am replaying it now and I still laugh a lot as if it was my first time. The improvements added are great. Congratulations!!! I love Tom and John but at the moment I am full Team Rask!!!!
i have saved some of the furry VNs in my collection. If you guys need it, go check my profile so y'all can save it because of this shadow-banned nsfw stuff
For anyone who sees this message and has no idea what's happening in itch.io right now big card corporations are issuing itch.io to shadowban and possibly BAN every nsfw game and novel on the platform. If you live in the United States I urge you to contact your respective congressman and ask them to vote for the Fair Access to Banking Act so that these big card corporations don't ruin all the hard work these wonderful devs put into their games/novel!!!

Can you please add a Linux version? 🥺Or is it the same as PC version? If its not, its not a big deal to port something from MacOS to Linux,, its all about unix after all. And I(and sure a lot of linux vn readers) will be VERY grateful
