Reverie: A Baxter Ward Fangame
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Welcome to the Reverie
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with GB_Patch and have made this game to spend a bit more time with everyone's favorite monochrome man.
This is a fan-made project that I started in tribute for Baxter’s birthday and I’ve since then made massive improvements to the game.
You and Baxter are on a trip together in Kyoto, staying at an Onsen Inn and there's a summer festival tonight!
This visual novel tries to closely emulate the feeling of closeness and nostalgia and is a linear story with diverging choices to mirror:
Our Life: Beginning and Always.
The storyline only features a romantic getaway with Baxter, there is no friendship route unfortunately.
Characters:
Everyone’s favorite ice cream sandwich man, Baxter Ward.
I surmise no introductions are necessary :)
There will also be several cameos of existing OC's in the fandom.
Features:
Expected playtime: ~1 Hour
MC pronoun is gender neutral, as pronouns do not really show up in the game.
Multiple Mini CGs
2 Full CGs

Lmaoo!!! Where roughly does this happen? I'll fix it when I find the line, thanks for letting me know ~
LOL!! Where does this happen? Thanks for letting me know, I'll fix it
Thank you for this! I liked Baxter's character and this scratched more of the itch from wanting more content for him. I love how much you paid attention to the script from the original game, the sprites, and the choices and how all of those efforts reflected in this VN. It's really like playing the original game! I was amazed the entire time. I had a lot of fun playing this, thank you for making such a beautiful and amazing game.
I just had to comment on this...it maybe short but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. The drawings are amazing and the story is sweet and wholesome. I just love Baxter so thank you for making this!!!!!
Came from twitter! I can't wait to fully experience this game!
Before i download it, your fangame looks pretty. And I do wish to experience some fun activities with the Zebra man.
Not necessarily after a date with B-man but it looks interesting. Hope you had a lot of fun with it.
Omg a Baxter fangame I'm excited for the full version
Hey, I got this no compatible downloads were found.
Is there a way around it?
Hi! I'm really sorry you couldn't download it! I've changed the download files to be compatible with PC and Mac! Are you downloading from the app? I hope this helps!
I made an itchio account just to comment i love this sm ty for existing
Thank you thank you!! Thank YOU for playing my fan-game!!
Omg a Baxter fangame! I'm excited for the full version.
Thank you!! I hope I dont keep everyone waiting for too long ><
Loved it! I'm looking forward to play the full version! I can't get enough of Baxter and Cove (And Derek as well, tho the other 2 are my biggest favorites)
Thank you!! I love all the boys as well <3 I hoped to spend more time with Baxter in this silly little way.
I like your artstyle! I love Baxter very much, so I'm looking forward to the full version♥
Thank you! Im so happy to hear you like my art style <3 Please stay tuned for more Baxter~
I was curious about something, do you think it will possible in a future to have this even on mobile? (Of course if it isn't possible that's fine, I have a PC so I can download it there, I was just curious to know if that would be a thing)
Hi!! Thanks for the interest! Hmm, I'll go ahead and say Not at the moment/near future. I would really love to port to other devices, but its not very feasible right now, Im sorry >< Perhaps once I get more used to Renpy!!
No problem! At the end of the day I have a computer I can use to play it but I'm just lazy to turn it on because it have to do with the fact that I have to switch cables from PS to PC, which isn't difficult of course, I'm just lazy and don't use the PC as much as my PS XD
But I will definitely do it to download this because I really like Baxter and getting more moments with him is nice, plus I love Japan a lot so having this Japan inspired date is really cute.
Thank you for this. I love how the decisions you can make feel very similar to your decisions in the original OurLife! Love Baxter's smirk in your style 😊 It would've been extra cool if you could've implemented a few of his voicelines from the game, but I believe that may be illegal haha
Thank you so very much!!! It makes me really happy to hear that, I completely agree with the voice lines thing, but I also agree copyright issues haha! I hope you will stay for the full release of the game <3
