Can't Buy Me Love! (Beatles VN)
A downloadable game
November 1963, a turbulent time for the United Kingdom and the world itself. Four Mop Top lads from Liverpool, in their full digital glory, just waiting to make your acquaintance!
Lots of historical fun facts, era accurate sets and sprites, japes, blatant disrespect and MORE! Can YOU get all four endings?
Note: The game is 16+ due to language and suggestive content. Nothing explicit is shown, and the overall tone is too bizarre to be considered sensual, but this is your warning.
There is no Ringo ending. Apologies to all Ringo fans. I simply don't know enough about him and his personality to write a Ringo route.

made a vn purely for ringo because i felt like he needs recognition:

OMG NO WAY!!!
it's not the best (considering it's my first vn), but i put a lot of thought in it at 3am on morning while talking with the person who told me to play this. it started off as a joke, but turned into a 2-day project
We really liked this (i'm not DID i just read this aloud with a bunch of my friends)
I absolutely love this game and The Beatles. i wish there was a game like this about Queen as they are my favourite band. love your work keep up the good work
Roger is hot, but not hotter than Paul. I like queen's music a whole lot but do not know them as people.
Made a itch.io account just so I could comment.
I absolutely love this game, and I sit in excitement waiting for the next!!
My sister and I played this a few months ago and had the most fun playing an online game that we've had in a while! We love your art style, your writing, and the unserious unexpectedness of it all.
Personally though, I wanted to ask if you had any form of payment apps that are open for donations. I hope you do, because I'm genuinely so happy that I found this game and can't imagine how much hard work you put into this/are putting into the next one. I know you talked about possibly charging for the next game(which I find fair), but regardless I still want to send my support.
Thank you+warmest regards.
Ok I def figured it out. Just sent a little something to say thank you and keep up the hard work on A Hard Day's Night!!!! Much love.
Omg, thank you! The donation is really much appreciated. I'm glad the game left such an impression!
I'm on the fence about charging for the next one, but the demo will most certainly be free. If I do charge it will probably just be 1-5 dollars, nothing crazy.
I am hard at work on the next one, which is much more ambitious. The demo should be out this summer, hopefully the final game out xmas or early 2026.
Omg, I love your game it is so good! Your artstyle fits it perfectly!! Where did you make this? I am thinking to make also a game myself :))
renpy!
Thankss!!
Ello luv! Me and my housemate just played the game together after seeing it referenced on TikTok. We LOVED it. We are British and living in the North and appreciated the commentary fully and especially the baked beans. The buses are sadly not all red tho. The repeated references to what Paul smells like killed me and all the character designs were very accurate. We did all the routes - Paul's was my favourite and George's was hers. I also learnt more about the Beatles (like Paul's crazy driving!?) that I didn't know before - the lore and puns go crazy it was so funny. 10/10 experience on our Saturday night. TA very much LUV!! We're very much excited for a new game!!!! we wait in anticipation xx
Hello British, I am aware of the variation in bus colors, I mention in a route that busses in liverpool are green, at least they used to be. They're like a blue-green now? I wish I were you so I could go to Marks and Spencers and get a ham sandwich, anywhere without M&S ham sandwich is inhabitable zone. I hope you like the next game even though it takes place in either Twickenham or London.
Ta very much luv.... x
so is the game based on the fanfiction or is the fanfiction based on the game? (I found it on ao3)
It's my fic! I orphaned it before even beginning the game, I had the story on wattpad too, but I ended up writing more there. I unpublished it when the game came out because I didn't want my genuine Paul fanfic to be associated with me...
I should probably make a post or something clarifying so people don't think I stole all my jokes from some person.
how do i download this ive tried multiple times
ok because i am thoroughly entertained and interested in your own opinions because of the ones you put into the game - i was just curious if you had any opinions or thoughts on the song Now and Then ?
utterly hate it. Don't worry, it'll be expaned upon in my second game.
Does this work for laptop? I've tried downloading it multiple times and been unsuccessful :(
Hello: I am writing a book on THE ANIMATED BEATLES and l wondered if there are caricatures in the game. Please contact me.
what does that mean?
ls it photos or cartoons?
mostly drawings
Non-moving drawings, right?
love that george was the only normal one
hilarious. loved it
absolutely life changing, i wish i was american so i could donate some money to you but unfortunately i live in a shitty country in europe. anyway, i loved all the little references (especially the lennon standing naked showing his butt but still looking at the camera part, and also the girl is mine part because i was a michael jackson fan before i started loving the beatles lol, i was like omg!!!). as a george harrison girl im bloody grateful that you didnt add a sex scene at the end because id cry 🙏. i love how i can tell that you hate paul mccartney, its really funny. i really wish there was a ringo route though 😞 my shayla.
i hope you continue to release more little games like these!
"The George ending is the true ending!" I say as im dragged to the mental institution. (Tho i feel like the only ending that made me happy was George ending so yeah)
Well that's because George is the only Beatle who makes me happy <3
So real. So real. 😔
I play this 8 days a week
You could've said 8 Days A Week but you missed that chance like a weak-minded simpleton
I wanted to type that, ig I didnt notice 🤪🤪
i have to say i loved this game. its chaotic, funny, surprising and straight up goofy. i wish there were other games that really filled the gap that were this genre of a game not taking itself seriously at all so ig compliments to the chef 5/5.
that was complete insanity, i absolutely loved it and laughed a ton. also, thank god the beatles broke up, atmp is utter perfection.
Lovely game. was shocked from the story, but overall it's very good lol
I was able to download this game to my files, but each time I try to play it, it would keep saying no file found. How do I open it?
I'm gonna cry!! I've been trying to download this game on my laptop for an hour and nothings working. Every time I try to play it, my Web Player says its unable or no file found. Anyone else know how??
how to u play it bro what
bro i cant play it
This was hilarious, i got all the endings and it was worth every second of my time. picked up the jojo references btw!! you're a genius
i love jojo
This is so funny! Couldn't stop laughing lmao. Keep it up! :)
how the fuck do i open the game after downloading
help me idk how to play it
it keeps telling me there’s “no compatible downloads found” ☹️
same
Hey! I was just wondering if maybe you posted the earlier versions of this somewhere. I wanted to get all the endings but when I did my sister said they were toned down from how they were originally. Or maybe I'm dumb, idrk. I've never used itch.io so it might just be me
No clue, the game has been unchanged since I published it. Maybe your sister is fucking with you, or maybe you got the "true end" instead of the "paul end" . Both endings are Paul, but one is much more raunchy.
if you want to sexualize george so much, you make a game.
damn I didn't mean to scare you off little buddy. I was only joshing around.
What did the guy say lmao
Something about making George's route sexual
I loved this! So funny and creative please make more games about them! ❤
Also I'm brazilian so if someday you wish make a translation to portuguese I'll love to help you!
Se acontecer, seria legal adaptar "birds" para "brotos" entre outras gírias de época!! :))
I downloaded itch on a chrome book to play this, but it won't let me install it "no compatible downloads found" but it will let me install other games so i don't know whats up :(
i need that beetle lovin' from 1963 Paul ASAP
It was so fun and bizarre!! I could get all 4 endings, it´s almost 3 am here so I must say this kept me entertained and... YOUR ART IS AMAZING OMGGGG, KEEP GOING WITH THIS!!
When I try to download this game, it comes up with "no compatible downloads were found." I'm not sure how to fix this, does someone know?
hey i think im having some trouble with the pc file, as its not showing up in the app after i downloaded it from the site, but i also cannot download it in the app either?
im having the same trouble and i just wanted to say i love your pf
omg hiii, tthankyouuu, love yours too yay
