I know this is a long shot, but here's what I remember.

-The protagonist was male (you could name him) and ended up in a fairly small village (I think he was brought there from another world? Memory's a bit rusty on that point.)

-I THINK the game starts with the protagonist waking up outside the village.

-If memory serves, there's two girls you could date - a red head (first one you meet) who calls you something like "Small dick bastard" (or something similar) when you first encounter her, though she later warms up to the protagonist and a blue haired one, who is more shy. I THINK she blue haired girl could use magic?

-IIRC, it was a visual novel but had some minor puzzle elements (you had to complete various minor puzzles in order to advance either girl's route).

-There's three endings, from what I recall - one if you completed Red's quests, one if you completed Blue's quests, one if you completed both. Might have had a fourth ending if you didn't complete either girl's route?

-The game had a time limit before a festival I think it was. I think the time limit was a few weeks in game? It wasn't a super long time, anyway.

-I think that, in order to obtain the third ending, you needed cheats obtained by completing various routes of the game. I think the cheats let you start with various items that you needed to complete either character's route. I believe there was also a cheat that let you start with all max stats?I think you could do part time jobs in the village to purchase items to complete more quests?

-One of the blue girl's quests was helping her harevest some flowers. While doing so, a bear appeared. You could either fight it off (needed a high Strength stat I think?) or grab her and run, causing her to say "But the flowers..." or something to that effect, causing the protagonist to reply with "FUCK the flowers!" and they head back to the city. I think you had to fight off the bear in order to advance her story.

I don't remember what stats are in the game, but I think it was Strength (mostly used for Blue's quests), Intelligence (mostly used for Red's quest) and... I think there was a third one?

The artwork was handmade and 2D-ish.


EDIT: Found the game. It was called Aching Dreams. Feel free to lock this thread.
