“as far as dating sims go, this one is weird af, the love interests "bad ending" is self pitying over the mc setting boundaries, I mean- With how fast paced the game is it's hard to feel sorry for him, within less than an hour of meeting…”
“Okay ill admit some jokes are funny(like him falling from the chair and his crying sprites) but the rest is...cringe just cringe. Everythings so fast,when you reject him you get a bad ending of him guiltripping you with corny vent messages…”
