Hey! You caught me!
This is my first invite only giveaway.
Its for a bundle key from indiegala every monday bundle #66
I won a copy of this game and was surprised how much I enjoyed the story.
The training mechanics are mildly annoying, but the game is well worth it!
Though this is a game in which a female protagonist builds a relationship with different male love interests, the story is still appealing to the straight male audience.
The relationship side of things is minimal and there is no nudity.
Please let me know how you found this giveaway. I'm advertising it several different ways as an experiment.
Current ways are: Magic Crystal Link (1), "Train" forum post (2), "Hex" forum post (3) , Gurumin Link(4), "OMG" forum post(5)
Feel free to simply say the number if you don't want to type it out!
And it wouldn't hurt to share your favorite emoticon or joke either ;)
EDIT: Fixed the white/black list mixups. Sorry about that! I should probably sleep more.
EDIT: Thanks for all the comments! Sorry I haven't replied but I've been sick :(
Found it. :V I found a hint in your thread: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/tdtVq/
I have been using :V a lot lately, I don't know why.

When you start to use :v, you never go back.

You call a game with a unicorn bad? Shame on you :P
I can never remember jokes unfortunately ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °)

I see that smily a lot but have no idea how to do it.

Saw your thread, checked public giveaway and saw the link. Gratitude for hidden note.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think next time I may need to hide it in a less bad game ;)
Good luck.

I only enter games I'm interested in. So for example, if I see a shooter, I don't even open the giveaway. But when I see something that looks like it might be a casual puzzle/HOG or a visual novel that's not about nudity - I go in and check the Steam page. I was entering a lot of X-note giveaways but I would've never checked Crystals to enter this giveaway if I haven't seen your thread.
I think a better way for Invite Only would be to hide the GA inside a similar one. It's still not perfect (someone might not see the public GA because they already own the game etc) but I think more logical than just a random/bad game.
Sorry for longish post. Have a cat to make you smile.

That's a very good point. The long length is fine!
Comment has been collapsed.
That's the same way I found it!

Your discussion on the forum gave it away :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I figured it would be a bit obvious. I'll be hiding some other ways in the next week as well.

Your thread in the forums.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well... I would like to give it a try so I will enter.
I found this that way: First, I read your thread How often do people hide trains?. I checked your profiles to see if there are any IO GAs (as I always do). There was, so any logical option, was to check in your public GA ;P
Comment has been collapsed.
Found it through your thread as well, I suck at jokes in english, so I cannot do as you asked on that part, but my favourite emoticon must be ^^ considering how often I use it.
Either way, thanks for the giveaway! ^^

Your welcome!
Comment has been collapsed.
I found it from your "how often..." thread. Usually I just check public giveaways for wishlisted games.
What do you mean with "boy game!? At first I thought you meant it has fanservice, as usual in most VN. But then you said "straight male players CAN enjoy the story"... So you mean guy+guy? But... isn't the main character a girl? D: That's strange.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh, I was unclear. You have a female protagonist with a lot of males to interact with.
That is what happens when I don't sleep! I stop making sense.

My fault, my English comprehension is lower each day >_<

Yes.... Hex is okay. Hex is hex...
Comment has been collapsed.
I like hex, mostly for the confused look I get when I tell people how to convert decimal to hex.
0d 0a 21
Hexclamation mark. Get it? :D

LOL
Yup, got it.

i found it first from the train post (looked at your profile > crystal ga) and then the hex one :3
i feel like a detective

This Thread. Yeah, I only check public gas for wishlisted stuff, plus this would be filtered out anyway since I own it.
Anyway, my favorite steam emoticon is :skyelaugh:

This.
That's exactly what I would have written. Well, except for the "favourite emoticon" part. I don't have a favourite.

Post: "How often do people hide trains?" led me to your profile, which led me to your GAs, which led me to "Magic Crystal Link" (1), which led me here.
