I played this the other day and it's still popping into my head. I like character art (average-looking, yet still distinct, people) a lot, and the concept is very interesting. The speech bubbles around a shared bar table, the sometimes humorous dialogue between more series topics, the character expressions—it all came together brilliantly!
I managed to get the good ending first try! Having it be mechanically challenging to pick the most thoughtful answer was a fun choice to simulate Reg's hesitancy to go against the grain.
I'd love to see a longer version of this (I know, I know... game jam lol) that allows the toxicity more time to sink in. I thought Reg's monologuing near the end was a little on-the-nose, but it makes sense considering the brevity of the game. I also got to the end and wasn't sure I was at the end? My lovely wife greeted me and then I wondered for a moment if the screen was frozen.
The moment when one of Reg's buddies starts to talk about something he's struggling with, but is immediately interrupted by his friends was fantastic.
