Keep in mind that I haven't yet finished the game, so I haven't seen everything it has to offer.
I'm having a ton of fun with the game! I don't know just how long it is but I will say that the date events for the same characters feel really spaced out. I've been playing for multiple hours and have yet to get to a second date. Then again, since the slice of life / dating aspect is more what I'm in for, it might just seem long for me because I'm biased. I think after trying out two different paths, the only second date I could have had by now would have been Scylez'.
Overall I feel like my favorite parts were probably the nightmare scene with the mirrors and stuff, Jane's first date, and Liukhalo's (someone I wish we saw more of) first date. I've grown quite attached to all the characters tho.
It's a very solid experience. I think that the plot's really interesting and that the characters are too! It's not exactly what I was expecting, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I also like how dates don't seem to be locked to a fixed date (ironically). The only things I actually have a problem with are that the save system doesn't save at the spot where you are but at an arbitrary earlier moment and that you can't see the dialogue history or scroll back through the text if you missed anything due to missclicking. You have to load a previous save.
PS: Holy crap I just played chapter 16 as I was writing this. I'm satisfied with Liukhalo now lmao
EDIT: The more I think about it the more I realize that a lot of choices could've led to other opportunities for dates. I guess I just got unlucky / unknowingly picked the wrong things lol.
Got to Radolf's second date. He's adorable.
I'm really glad to hear you've been having so much fun! I guess it is technically less of a dating simulator and more of a choose your own adventure type story but there are at least two dates for each of the 10 romance options sprinkled in there somewhere :) if you finish the game up and want to see a date specifically that was missed, I've put scene flowcharts in the "more options" section of the main menu that will show you exactly how to see each date for each character. Also if you don't feel like playing through the whole game again I have a "scene picker" selection in the main menu too that will let you play through any scene you want!
I must warn you too that some of the dates conflict with others, so for example you can't see both of Scylez's dates and also both of Liukhalo's dates. There are a couple instances where one choice will shut down the option for another. I think it's possible to see Liukhalo's second date after scene 7 in the right paths are taken. I'm glad you got to scene 16 at least because it's true he disappears for a bit in the middle but makes a reappearance in a fun way. It's fun that you managed to find Radolf's second date because his is definitely the hardest to find in the game.
Hope you continue having fun with it! The text scrolling feature is something I do want to add. Either that or a log that can be looked at from the pause menu to see previous and maybe missed messages.
Thank you for playing! <3
Just finished my first playthrough and booted up another one!
I must admit that I'm a little confused by some of the affection scores I received, but that's not a big deal, it was really fun regardless!
Funnily enough I didn't even have to load previous saves or anything for Radolf, it kinda just worked lmao
I'm also very intrigued by a couple of characters I saw in the image gallery but didn't meet in my first playthrough. Hoping I cross their paths in the second one!
EDIT: I'll also do everything in my power to help Blinki >: (
(Also cheers for the Bob Ross reference)
Hey, just a quick question, I'm trying to have some one on one time with Blinki during Scene 9, but no matter what I pick I can't seem to do so. I've literally tried every path option at this point. I don't know if it's a bug or something because of previous saves? I haven't tried deleting them yet but I think that's the next thing I'll try.
