  1. Here’s a question for y’all who’ve played through the Ian storyline – I managed to get the best ending there is for him (spoilers?) but I can’t seem to get Mark to accompany him on his post-graduation trip, even with the sufficient funds. Is that not actually something that’s possible in the game?

    1. The “best” endings for any of the story lines, including Ian’s, lock you out of that option. You must be friends with Ian and not be in a relationship with any of the other guys after graduation.

  2. I bought the game today, downloaded the file, tried to open the game (the exe. file) but I keep getting a message that states: “C\:Users\AppData\Local\Temp7zOF1A3.tmp\lib\-i686\Coming Out On Top.exe Is it missing ?” My system runs on Windows 8 and I tried the tip someone posted earlier with adjusting the setting EnabledLUA to 0 in order to open older .exe files, but I still have no success in running the game. I’ve also downloaded the game files several times, trying to see if there was an error in the process, but nothing works. What am I not doing right ? Thanks and congrats on launching what is surely a groundbreaking game !

    1. you have to extract the game in a folder first before you start playing.(I assumed you just started the game from an unzipping software.)

      1. Thanks for the tip; not sure if I did this right but I did initially extract both the exe. and py. files. When I then try to open those them after the extraction, I get the “is it missing ?” message for the exe. and nothing happens with the py. I’ll try again.

      2. It worked lol guess I was just being a moron with the ‘ole process. I feel like a .zip noob. Thanks again !

  3. GUYSSS please help. No matter what I do, Brad gets 69 on his paper and the story ends with me as a loner. Am i doing sth wrong??? How do i get a good ending with him

    1. I know it’s a a little cockblocking for saying this. Keep your distance a little bit. Make sure brad is on the right track first. Also be reasonable and polite with beau later on. Things will sort out itself.

    2. not sure if i remember this correctly but the options i chose earlier to avoid that “69” dead end thingy is to refuse to cheat on him select the first option which says a “you screwed if you’re injured…” on him and keep your distance once your legs touched each other and select the first option for advise on the essay and always study then eventually you’ll see a much happier brad afterwards…lemme know if this worked for you

      1. When you get to the part where he asks you for advice always go with the option that says something along the lines of a good beginning and ending of an essay. After that you HAVE to study during that period of time before you meet him.

      2. Actually, though those first “You’re screwed” and “front and end” options are indeed required to get “happy Brad”, you can still get that through “leave your leg there”, and with *no* studying required whatsoever. I’ve tested all of it myself.

  4. It is a wonderful game and I love the demo so I bought the official one.
    However, why does BMT Micro block my password? I tried all three links but none can be downloaded so I changed a place and then it says “the password is blocked”! Does anyone have the same situation and can you help me with it, Obscura?

  5. Omg, there are so many plot branches! I keep opening new dialogs after several hours of playing. That’s an amazing game, a masterpiece! For those who just started, the best way to play in the beginning is to pick one guy that you like and refuse all others, that will conserve a lot of time with trying different combinations of answers and find different ending for him. Then you can mix )

  6. I bought the game yesterday, and I have to say I absolutely love it! All of the stories I’ve played through (Ian and Brad… woof) are so cute/adorable. I love Penny. ❤ In general, I'm just happy that this game is a thing that exists. It has melted my cold, bitter single heart.Thank you for making it and I hope to see more from you; be it additions to this game or other projects!

  7. Hey, I am not sure if anyone got this glitch/bug. So, after going to the frat, Ian’s picture froze and stays on screen..Anyone encounter similar problem?

    1. Yes, I noticed that too. If you come back from the back with Ian but without 2 girls and if you scheduled appointment for the military party at the same day, Ian picture does not disappear from the screen for a while.

      1. No, it’s not. I played through it. You have to save at least 800 bucks until the end of the semester. To do so, keep choosing the option where you have to tutor to earn extra cash every weekend.

      2. Found it! Thank you! The detail I didn’t know was that you needed to have a great relationship (platonic) with Ian and not end up with anyone. THEN it triggers. Pretty cool. 🙂

  8. Has anyone been able to get an epilogue/ending for Phil? I unlocked two sex scenes but at the end he just says he’s leaving for recon training and doesn’t know when he can see Mark again. Am I missing something?

    1. to get his good ending, don’t engage in any sexual events with him…i think it applies as well with alex’s playthrough, dont you think?

      1. This isn’t true for Phil, he and Mark had sex /and/ they ended up staying together and I got a nice reuniting ending.

        I had most trouble getting Jed’s good ending– I’ve yet to get it.

        Anyway, Ian is husband, though, so. Everything else is insignificant details.

      2. really? well that’s great! that’s just how i got his good ending though so maybe i’ll try to play around the dialogue options then later…with jed’s, is his good ending the one they ended up in an orgy or there’s another scene?

      3. In the Jed ending I got they screwed in the bathroom but they didn’t stay together. Jed like broke off contact and went off to sell weed or something. I never bothered trying to get a better ending but I feel like there has to be one where they actually stay together.

      4. Can you get the epilogue despite giving him the BJ in the car? My ending just cuts off right after the Penny becoming famous with brofinder part without any mention of Phil. It just goes back to the start screen. I’m not sure if that’s a bug tho :/

    1. The fishsex scene was freaking hilarious. FLUFFY! Your fins caressing my bare buttcheeks were so sensual!

      1. ROFL I started the game deciding I was going to just stay at home with the first so I named it “Nico My Love.” In all the other games I just named it Nico. But it was perfect because he was like “Oh, Nico My Love, why are you the only one who understands me?” n shit and then… and then… glub glub…

  9. I don’t know why , but everytime I try to lunch the game, it crashes after 5 to 10 seconds… Has anyone any idea why? I tried all I could think of, without success.

  10. Wow, BMTmicro, I lost my words.
    They have told me that “Your payment was declined by your bank” yesterday,
    So I mailed them very nicely, there is no problem with my card or bank, it’s you who declined, Because I can purchase anything except THIS!!
    Then they replied, “Contact your card issuer.” Seriously?
    I am big fan, and waited this for years. Obscura, please tell me.
    Is there any way to purchase your game except BMTmicro?

  11. please Obscura, find another vendor to release this through- you’re killing your own game by preventing so many international gamers from buying it. Please, find another way that isn’t BMT.

  12. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or what but I can’t buy the game. It seems like there was no problem with the payment but yet, nothing happens. I don’t get any “Downloading” message, no notification of any kind and I don’t know what’s the problem.
    Any help? Maybe a payment and downloading walkthough?

    1. Someone tell me too please. I got good endings for everyone except Phil (with Brad’s being my favourite ^^) and I’m flummoxed. The game just ends right after Penny’s getting-famous CG without expounding upon what happened to Phil. Not sure if it’s a bug or I’m just not getting the good ending.

      1. Follow Ian’s advice at the dinner. Be subtle with him and support him in arguments. However try to keep him calm. Also, nothing beyond kissing with him until you get past the trivia tournament. Once you get home from that, have all the fun you want. *wink wink*

  13. Aaaaand, i love the game. The only problem I have is that I have finals tomorrow and the following week and I can’t seem to stop playing…

  14. oh my god. I just finished Brad and Ian’s storylines and they were literally the best/hottest/cutest/sweetest things ive ever seen in my whole life. Thank you obscura for making me feel amazing. I love you.

  15. Let’s see if I can remember this properly. For Phil – pick him up from the airport, say nothing (eat bread), go to his dad’s party, keep the tophat and do everything that Ian suggests at Phil’s party. Then at some later stage, accept his invite to babysit Violet, tell him to relax before he hurts something, use military references where you can and side with Phil instead of Violet all the way; at the end of the first babysit, tell him you did it because he’s cute. Accept his invite to go to the beach, decline Ian’s instant 6-pec, use slow methodical breaths while swimming, lift head high enough just to minimize fatigue. Accept date, avoiding overt sexual responses; prevent Phil from fighting. In the car, you have an option of kissing him, which would initiate a BJ scene (again, avoid overt responses or he’ll cut it short). Accept second babysitting job, side with Phil against violet, do the trivia and get all correct answers; go home and select the ‘Death Valley’ response to open up the sex scene option – either top or bottom is fine. Meet up at his dad’s party thing, tell the campaign manager he should be ashamed of himself, then stop Phil from fighting again, and congrats – you’ve got the happy ending. I think.

    1. Wait, what IS the happy ending? I think I did all of that and I ended up with him heading off to recon training after meeting up with Mark at graduation….is that the happy ending?

      1. Nope. You break up with him for 22 hours 34 minutes and 4 seconds then you get back together, say you love each other, then there’s a scene of you both kissing in the airport.

  16. After reading all these negative comments about BMT, I think I’ll wait for the game to be available on other sites to purchase it. It’s a pity… I’ve waited so long to have it ;_;

  17. Omg. J have to say, I am absolutely, without a doubt, ADDICTED to this game. XD
    I started play at around 3 pm and I’m still here playing at 1 am. Anyway, I can’t believe that Ian is not the only guy I fancy now. Damn, Phil and Nick are damn fine too. ❤

    Confratulations on this game, you really did an AWESOME job!

  18. Is it just people outside of the United States having problems with BMTmicro? Also I saw something about suspect e-mail addresses. Is yahoo considered one. Thanks in advance for answering.

  19. Just tried buying the game but BMT Micro flat out denied my credit card. I’m outside the United States. Obscura, I really hope there’s another way of getting your game, quite a few of us are getting the short end of the stick because of BMT Micro.

  20. I have just finished the Ian plot. Oh dear, the bittersweet college drama! The sweet ending got me crying happy tears! If only it was the same for me and my first love in collee years T^T TvT

  21. I’ve waited over 15 hours and have yet to recieve any sort of email from this piece of shit bmt micro and I’ve been charged what the FK!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. Ok, I’ve got good endings with every character, but I want to know if there is an ending where you end up with Alex instead of just helping him keep his job. If anyone knows it, please let me know. I can also tell you how to get good endings with the other guys if you want 🙂

    1. “is an ending where you end up with Alex instead of just helping him keep his job” – of course. And there is a couple of CGs with him after graduation day. To get them you should study well enough and don’t fuck him in his office, only kiss.

      1. You can have sex with him in his office? Everytime I talk to him, he runs off scared and rebuffs me. Any tips on the Alex ending?

      2. Mike – After he gives his whole “go for the gusto and don’t worry about the consequences” lecture in class, you can visit him in his office and with the right responses you can go for a kiss, or more. (I didn’t realize this either, and ended up with the infuriating handshake ending like five times before I figured out where I’d gone wrong.)

  23. WOW! There is even a “happy” Slurpy ending! It’s hilarious!!! Obscura, you’re the best! Only one question again – is there a way (maybe hidden) to see thumbs up and down (relationship points) like in earlier betas? I know, it’s not really necessary and the results depend more on earlier chosen answers than these points, but anyways would be nice to have this option somehow.

  24. Dammit Alex, stop friend zoning Mark! I am totally down with your ‘no fucking students’ policy, but at least get on top of that when he graduates! Fucking handshake, what the hell is wrong with you man

      1. Well, turns out I was too professional and didn’t kiss him when he was ranting about carpe diem and w/e. Guess he needed the encouragement, even though it’s a bit weird making a move when he’s so out of it.

        Whatever, I love Alex even though he’s a tease. Almost as husbando as Ian~

        Now I just have to try and get Jed, although frankly he’s not worth the trouble. Mark saves his band and fucks him in the toilet, and then never hears from him again, I guess? Loser

  25. Hi! Omg, I am so glad I finally got to play this! Done two routes (three if you include a bad ending), so I’m gonna take my time. But this is just a suggestion seeing that there are multiple pictures/scenes for one set of choices, is it possible to put a gallery to store all these images you unlock?

    But anyhoo, you need some well-deserved rest! Amazing job, I’m loving it! 😀

  26. Holy fuck I wish I had a Brad in my life. I’m so jealous of the characters
    In this game. I really need to do something with my life.

    1. Yeah, right ) Unfortunately in reality most of gay guys around are just queens and ugly fat slackers. Not so cute as in this game. Maybe we are too… We need to be better to deserve better.

      1. Hey, no need for fem-shaming and fat-shaming… there are always gems in the rough, whatever your standards.

      2. Nothing wrong with being femmy or fat. Maybe if you want something real you should stop being so superficial.

        Man, I feel sorry for guys who are so picky and only attracted to the ideal of gay beauty. Those “ideal” guys have their choice of a lot of guys, so why would they pick you? I’m glad that I can find a wide variety of guys attractive: otherwise, I wouldn’t have met my husband.

        Way too much superficiality in the gay community. It’s just nasty and a huge turnoff.

      3. Incidentally, being a skinny or well-muscled guy in no way makes you “better” than a fat queen. If that’s your barometer for “better”, than fuck you. I’d rather date a fat queen with aspirations, compatible interests with me, a good personality, a sound mind, and an ability to be sensual than some skinny crazy hot masculine guy who acts like a colossal superficial douchebag any day.

      4. “Nothing wrong with being femmy or fat” – it is actually wrong for a healthy man. It’s a nature. If you’re a man, no matter who you like, you suppose to have high testosterone – means low fat, wide bones, strong muscles. And, hey, we are talking about visual attraction, not personalities. Behind any type of look there can be a great or terrible person inside, it’s a completely different conversation.

  27. Okay, just finished unlocking everyone’s happy ending (Slurpy’s fish scene included…quite disturbing) and I enjoyed it immensely. So, when’s the next update? lol

    I like on some of the characters you have the option of being top or bottom. More scenes like that would be great. More graphic scenes are much needed to be honest. It keeps me wanting more and a bit annoy at the same time. lol

  28. Is it obsessive that I’ve done Ian’s ending four times in four only slightly different ways and I think I’ve fallen in love with him? I can’t stand doing anyone else’s routes anymore he always gets so inconspicuously jealous and I’m like “NO! HUSBANDO! PLEASE DON’T HATE MY BOYFRIENDS!”

  29. –Spoilers alert, will try to be as vague as possible. Also, I’m doing this from memory.–

    Note: Can’t have more than one significant relationship, to my knowledge.

    Ian: Flirt etc, accompany to frat party, get kissed before scoring him threesome, confess feelings after he wings for you (get kissed again), state that you’re just looking for somebody, sex or no sex; kiss him when he’s drunk later, confess feelings, return the gift, call Zoe and visit her loft.

    Alex: Be professional the whole way through while flirting. Play racquetball with him twice, investigate when Penny asks, tell Alex he can’t give up and kiss him only – no office sex, follow through with investigation, tell Alex to **forget it** after he tells you the good news.

    Phil: Agree to meet Phil, pick him up from airport, go to fundraiser (**take off hat but say all the stupid things Ian said**), babysit Violet (reprimand her, and restrain Phil when necessary). Easy enough that I think I can lack detail.

    Brad: Take up tutoring job, do not cheat, be supportive (mostly the first option), mention the importance of an education when Daisy comes, watch *video* with him and do whatever, tell Beau not to coddle him, see Brad again and do whatever, keep trying to go see Brad in loft, then all-nighter at your place.

    Jed: fool around the first time you meet him, try to see him a second time, go to first concert, go to second concert and get naked, try not to be so hostile with Vince, bring money to the band, find Jed at first option on list beginning with 7th and say you will go to recital, when meeting Chandra select option with “CRABS”. This was a hard one.

    Graham: Just kidding. Ew.

    Slurpy: I wish I was kidding.

    1. Oh, and for Ian’s trip, you can’t get with anyone and you need to have more than $800 saved by the end of semester.

    2. Sorry for the spam. Will mention typos here:

      When watching Daisy’s video: “You’re eyes linger over one another.”

    3. Thanks! I’m still having problems with Jed, though. I’ve tried switching the responses with Vince, turning Jed down for sex, different actions at the shows, etc. Does it have something to do with studies or money too?

  30. Spoiler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The game is amazing. I spent all night playing it and found the following:
    1) Alex: Kiss in the locker room, sex in the office on the table, and the mutual blowjob, anatomy lesson.
    2) Brad: naked photos, blowjob, sex in 2 poses on the Mark’s bed .
    3) Ian: Kiss in the club, sex in the attic, and licking ass.
    4) Phil: blowjob in the car, mutual sex at Mark’s home,
    6) Jed: Jed blowjob at home, he sucks on the fire escape of the club, mutual sex in the toilet.
    What did I miss?

    1. here’s some more:
      Alex: kiss in the park
      Brad: jacking off together
      Phil: beating him at swimming

      Are there any others? not including the fish?

      1. Brad: jacking off together
        I have not found such a scene. What it opens up a dialogue?
        Phil: beating him at swimming
        Only the competition? Or is there a sex scene?

      2. JDKent – If you end up helping Brad cheat, after you finish his first paper he’ll want to dump you as a tutor for Daisy. Tell him you can do whatever she can do for him to get it.

      3. Er, actually, never mind the above (I was thinking of the BJ scene); in Brad’s normal route, if you get a beer to celebrate his first successful paper, Brad will start showing you porn of Daisy which you can both JO to.

      1. 1) Alex: a) Kiss in the locker room, b) sex in the office on the table, c) and the mutual blowjob, d) anatomy lesson.

  31. Great game! I finish Brad’s storyline. the relationship is so cute for good ending.

    In the next version, I hope eyes of every characters when there is a scene between our character and them are more lively.

    Moreover, I hope we can keep a picture of scenes after we choose a right choice.

    1. “Moreover, I hope we can keep a picture of scenes after we choose a right choice.”
      press “H”, then “S”.The scene will remain in the game folder

  32. I bought the game and had no problems. The order went through and the download came up automatically. It looks like a fun game and I’m looking forward to playing. Wanted to also thank Obscura for the discount code!

  33. Help!

    I cannot quite figure out how to get any sex scenes with Philbert/Phil (I believe he is the black guy) or anything further with Alex for that matter. Can someone help me out on which choices to click on/make? Thank you!

    1. Alex relationship / sexy time choices:

      I’m gay.
      All right. You drive.
      Whisky, straight up. Because I’m gonna need it.
      *Gulp.* Pretend to be really fascinated by a ketchup bottle.
      Sure, I’ll have another one of these.
      Actually, no. This is my first time here. It’s not bad. Kind of a cool vibe.
      It’s Mark.
      Sure, here you go.
      Somebody hit on me.
      Ew, are you kidding? Leave it there.
      Sleep like an angel.
      This guy hit on me.
      Look, I’m sort of in a state today, Ian. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap at you.
      HELLLOOO Professor.
      You know, it’ll be tough but I guess somehow I’ll manage. *grin*
      Please, can we beta test another time?
      Tell Penny about your run-in at the bar last night.
