Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly enjoy its dark, cringe-tinged discord-style dating sim for its writing, art and branching choices, though voice acting and the lead love interest's voice split opinion.

Many players enjoy the Discord-style presentation: the chat layout, character customisation, emoji reactions and the way each character's typing style feels like real internet conversation. Players like the branching choices and multiple endings, and several describe the writing as edgy but funny and self-aware. Art and character design are praised often. Criticism centres on the voice acting, with many reviewers finding one love interest's delivery grating and some finding other voices uneven. Some players also say the dialogue can feel cringe-inducing or overly edgy, while others say that is part of its charm. A few note limited choice in some scenes, thin character customisation options and short routes. Recent reviews are more mixed on the writing and choice freedom than the older helpful reviews, which are warmer overall.

Praised

  • Discord-style presentation

    Players enjoy the chat layout, roles, profile customisation and emoji reactions, which make the game feel like a server they have joined.

    Many players
  • Distinct, quirky characters

    Reviewers praise the love interests as memorable and well differentiated, with each character's typing style and personality standing out.

    Many players
  • Branching choices and endings

    Players like the number of options and routes, saying choices matter and encourage replaying to see other endings.

    Many players
  • Art and voice acting

    Art, sprites and scene illustrations are often called beautiful, and several players say the voice acting is good overall.

    Many players

Criticised

  • Grating voice acting

    Reviewers find one love interest's voice cringe-inducing or unpleasant, and some say other voices are uneven or distracting.

    Many players
  • Cringe or edgy dialogue

    Players find the writing overly edgy and corny, saying it reads like an immature or AI-generated chat rather than a dark story.

    Some players
  • Limited choice freedom

    Reviewers say different responses often lead to the same outcome, so their choices feel less meaningful than the options suggest.

    A few players
  • Short routes and rushed story

    Players feel the routes are short, the story rushed and the characters underdeveloped, especially compared with other visual novels.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suited to fans of visual novels and dating sims who enjoy dark humour, edgy internet satire and multiple branching endings, and who do not mind cringe-tinged writing.
Who should skip it
Players who dislike cringe or edgy writing, or who are put off by a grating voice cast, should skip it, as should those expecting deep choice freedom or long routes.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with longer playtimes, such as those with 20 to 200 hours, mostly recommend the game, and their reviews mention replaying for endings and achievements. Newer players more often mention the voice acting and cringe dialogue as their main issues.
