Not sure what I expected from this game but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Obviously I wouldn't imagine this game to be something you might sink a hundred hours in, maybe not even 50 hours, but I can see it occupy quite a lot of my spare time. It's easy to follow the narration and engross yourself in the world. However, there are the occassional typos which seem careless. Then there's the difficult UI, where you are pretty much told to exit the game everytime you finish a run. What they don't tell you is that you can type restart instead. Furthermore, the game closes on pressing the ESC key, which is troublesome when you at times also have to press the 1 key (I play on a laptop in which ESC is next to 1. However, so far I've seemed to actually enjoy this game despite me not enjoying dating sims or narration games previously. PS: I hope you and Krissi are living your happiest lives.

I found this game by just pressing the random game button all they way at the bottom of the store page a bunch, and after sifting through the millions of horrible puzzle games, I found this little gem. For what it is, this game is fantastic, it reminds me of when I was in coding classes and I was assigned to make some text based adventure games. [It's far better than the games I made xD] I'm glad I found this, it's a good game and I'm sure I'll be playing it for a little while. I hope you continue on to make bigger and better games! Or have a good life, either one works =P
Not too bad, definitly cool. $1 or less would be a little more reasonable in my opinion.
Here is how to win this game.... everyday... Friend -> School/Work -> Flirt. Find a job first. Find a girlfriend. Say yes to drinking the coffee everyday. Easy win. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I found it pretty repetitive but still I really enjoyed the concept of the game. I can't wait for future updates.
I HATE to give small indie developers bad reviews but I just can't grasp the concept in this game - almost everything about the interface is confusing and not user friendly at all, but it's only like a dollar and change on sale anyway so go ahead and give it a try anyway. EDIT: I'm starting to get the hang of it but I'm still confused how the character progression works.
Fantastic game. Found myself playing through it multiple times to see the crazy outcomes that could occur. In my most recent bout, I was able to max out all of my stats, but I never got a "win" screen. I was around turn 111 when i finally closed the game. Definitely worth a play.
