coming back to read this, but the plot summary immediately made me think of Broke Back Mountain
VERY CUTE!! I really enjoyed this, and also, goddamn did we get lucky finding the least secured, wealthiest town this side of the Pecos.
I love the writing of this game and Boone is really cute I enjoy him as a character very much.
Damn... A+++ tier in the NSFW department (AND THE AMOUNT OF IT O_O) yet still keeping it classy and cute with an actual story for us folks that wants it sweet and spicy. Lovin' it and hope you make more games like these or a follow up.
This was so fun! Boone is an absolute sweetheart <3
Thanks for sharing this game with us!! ^-^
P.S. The opening song for the game (the main menu one) is an absolute bop! I opened the game and spent a good 5 minutes just listening to it on loop lolll
Country boy I love youuuuu
Thank you for the fantastic game! It was hot and romantic!
Just in case you're looking for a short side story idea, Boone and the MC on the Ranch might be interesting... >_<
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And that could be a fun side story, I will keep it in mind!
Saddle up indeed. This game is so awesome. Love the story, writing, dialogue. The western cowboy setting and pacing is wicked good. The choices were extremely user friendly with hints. Adored all the art - Boo's character sprites and CG's were delightful, including his adorable blush! I'm roped in and deeply satisfied. Well done!
Thank you so much Lila! You are too kind! Yeehaw!
Is this BxB or can I play as a female MC?
You can choose the mc’s pronouns from either he, she, or they! (So you can play as a female MC!)
Damn cowboy! The NSFW is chefs kiss and plot of story is really good too! Overall I have no complain this game is impressive
This has become a major comfort game for me. Not to mention inspires me to do a similar thing in the future just because of how well executed it is here.
You hit a bullseye with Boone! He is the center of this game for a reason. It’s super fun to play through a western and be a cowboy right alongside him!
The nsfw scenes which I opted into were fantastic! I played as a male cowboy because what’s better than one cowboy? Two cowboys! And I never felt like it was a secondary option to playing a lady cowboy and the same can be said for the non-binary/gender neutral option.
I like how cohesive the whole experience is, it’s not too lengthy nor too short- plenty of replay ability (at least for me). You can choose to ride this horse how ever you see fit and that’s a testament to your writing and planning!
There is just so much love put in this game and it’s evident from the second you start! I am so glad I got to experience it early!
I look forward to everything yet to come.
TLDR; Boone’s Balls make this game a certified 10/10 🤠
Thank you, Joy😭 and youre right, only thing better than one cowboy is two!
I have to admit that all those kisses and stuff were somewhat distracting from the main plot... But who am I to object to sensual things? It was a real pleasure to play this game. Thanks Lacy! You really make games that I want to play more than once.
Lacy is a fantastic developer who always brings her all to her projects!
Roped In is a lovely cowboy romance featuring a friends-turned-more scenario in the old west! It has a fully customizable MC (pronouns/name) and you can even name your HORSE! Not to mention it has optional NSFW scenes, and your participation or lack thereof does not affect getting a "good end." Choose as many to participate in be it some, all, or not at all! Plus, there may or may not be a spicy CG for those of you who are into that.... ;)
I loved every second playing through this game, and its become one of my favorites! Come get your daily dose of Boone (Balls)! <3
Thank you, Snakkiez! And of course, I hope everyone loves the Boone (Balls)!
So, to say that I love this game is an absolute understatement. From the careful consideration given to recreate a historical atmosphere that’s not easy, to an absolutely loveable LI—I enjoy this game so much!!
Boone is a delightful LI, who just hits the right notes for me in all ways-and I love the flexibility that the game gives you in how you approach your romance with him. Flexibility is the name of the game in the best of ways, from pronoun choices to being able to opt out of NSFW scenes without consequences, it allows for everyone to fall for Boone (which everyone should, tbh).
The GUI is charming in how it ties in with the theme and I really enjoyed the music as well. Needless to say that I loved the writing and all the art of my favourite cowboy (a sight for sore eyes tbh). Overall, please give this game a shot and commit crimes with your bestie boyfriend 💖✨
Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so happy you loved our Boone boy! And I am glad the inclusivity and flexibility is not going unnoticed (gotta let everyone have a little bit of the cowboy!)
just got an email notification from itch that someone I follow -- you! -- posted about an upcoming game. After reading the description here, I can say oh my yes please! I'm very intrigued. I'll be finding room in my entertainment budget for this one for sure. Best wishes for a smooth release when the time comes!
Thank you so much for your support! Roped In will be coming out soon! Official release date TBD!
