I Wani Hug That Gator - Logo

The Prehistoric Romance a million-and-one years in the making!

I Wani Hug that Gator! is a visual novel with multiple endings about second chances and the power of accepting who you are, where choices matter. It shapes how Inco will make the most of his senior year, and how the relationships he forms along the way will develop. There is one relationship in particular that makes him feel very confused inside....

Wait, what do you mean we're moving?

Inco in school

Great, just as Inco was getting ready to enter his senior year of high school, his parents decide to uproot his life and move across the country. I guess it's time for a fresh start. Sure, Inco didn't have many (or any) friends at his old school, and of course, he was so far down the social ladder that he had to get a lesson from buceo..... Wait, why was he complaining about moving?

Wait, I'm being graded on this?!

Olivia ScreenShot

Make friends, reconcile enemies, and find out how Inco might repair his miserable excuse for a social life. But beware: The choices you make expand the relationships with Inco's classmates and determine which of the four unique endings you'll receive. Maybe Inco should have spent a little less time studying and a little more time learning how to get along with people....

Meet our cast!

Meet Olivia bg
Olivia

As someone who prefers to keep to themselves, Olivia isn't one to talk to people, much less try to make new friends this late in the semester. However, the fates seem intent on crashing her and Inco together like oil and water. Dismissive of him at first, Olivia was the last person expecting to find themselves friends with the newest transfer student. But depending on Inco's choices, the two just might uncover a deeper sense of understanding for each other, taking their relationship to new highs (or lows).

Meet Inco bg
Inco

Inco dreams of making a name for himself, and views his senior year as his last shot at it. However, nothing could have prepared him for what the year would throw at him. See through his shades as he bungles along in his new dino-dominated school like a proverbial 'primordial-ancestor-out-of-water'. Prepare to grit your teeth as he awkwardly fumbles his way through teenage acceptance (or lack thereof), personal vendettas, parental woes and interspecies conflicts. Who knows, he may even succeed at some of these things if you can manage to help him pull his head out of his ass long enough.

Meet Iadakan bg
Iadakan

One of St. Hammond High’s most respected teachers, Mr. Iadakan always encourages his students to do his best, no matter what. He sees potential in each and every pupil that enters his class, and will do his best to help them achieve their untapped potential. His drive is unlike anyone else at St. Hammond, accomplishing a great deal in his (relatively) young life. His students, and even his co-workers, are at a loss as to how this pterodactyl remains so focused at all times...

Meet Damien bg
Damien

While he may not be the sharpest spear in the cave, Damien exudes the level of friendliness and charisma that only the profoundly confident (or profoundly dense) can manage. He considers himself Olivia's oldest friend, and wants to help her break out of her fossilized shell. Perhaps the new human at school is just the right person for the job...

Meet Liz bg
Liz

A member of the school's student council, Liz is as sharp as a whip when she's not desperately trying to corral Damien's absurdity. She is bound and determined to succeed in life, accepting the responsibility of organizing events at St. Hammond. She's worried Damien may forget about her when she leaves for college (if not the room), so she makes time to spend with him and his friends as much as possible.

Meet Ben bg
Ben

The first welcoming face Inco meets at St. Hammond. Ben considers himself to be a refined student, as his grades and position in the student council will show. He even shares a passion for photography with Inco, helping solidify the two as friends. However, Inco may slowly realize that there's more to him as he uncovers the rocky relationship between him and Olivia.

Meet Mia bg
Mia

The school's resident bully and the bane of anyone who dares to cross her path (or so much as look at her wrong). Mia enjoys picking on those she sees as easy prey, making both her ego and intimidation levels grow. Though she doesn't look like the type, Mia is a master manipulator who loves to scheme behind everyone’s back, and cares not when Inco is caught up in the wake.

Express your creativity!
