I really like how you can choose whether or not to really go into detail with the NPCs, which helps to learn more about them but also the PC. I also feel like each character could be a real person, they didn't seem too extreme. Happy that I get to live happy ever after with leather jacket man so yay!

Only thing is I wish there was a little more opportunity to get out of one of the NPC routes rather than getting locked in nearly right away!

It is very well written and composed in the sense that the game and story flow naturally. It is a good idea to distinguish NPCs and Player's speechs through different colors, it helps to follow. The NPCs feel very real and the set up of the situation and the game at the beginning is not too long. it is straightforward, so we get hooked very easily and quickly.  The two NPCs are very different in terms of personality, goal, color and speech which it offers to players different diegetic experience despite of being in the same universe.

Great breezy slice of life with great character writing, all the characters feel very real. my one constructive criticism would be that the game mostly comes down to the first choice but it makes some sense in context. i liked the realism and frankness with which you approached sex and relationships and loved that all endings are basically positive and don't feel particularly judgemental.

I like learning about Luke's struggle and how the MC can relate to it. It's always nice to see two characters who went through similarly bad experiences cope with each other.

I loved the game, and the characters felt real. I really like how descriptive everything was, including in the conversations. I do want to punch blazer in the face though, I'm guessing that's what you had in mind

I really liked how relaxed and easily digestible it was. I feel like sometimes games can get too serious, and this was a good break from that. The characters felt real, and I liked that I always had a choice that I wanted to do, I was never forced between two options that I didn't like. I did notice that "looking for some fun?" option led to a blank page. I also think one of the endings showed both options when it was meant to show one, but I don't think it really took anything away from the experience. If anything, I feel like this game would have benefitted from being a little longer and I wish I could get to know the characters more! I'm intrigued.

I loved it! The characters felt believable and real. When sports jacket dude kept calling us a female I wanted to run away IRL. I think some more work to make every conversation feel fulfilling would be nice, but I still enjoyed it without it!
