I really enjoyed this game, I found it just cruising around the internet, and was unfamiliar with the authors other works, I watched ramshackle and I have some feedback in regards to its writing style, but I'll wait until later to talk about that, first I want to talk about pine point, ya know since that is what this is a review for.
I opened the game and music and title screen alone put a big smile on my face, and I thought "aw yeah, this is gonna be a great one." the character designs are pretty good, they do a good job portraying the general vibe of the characters right off the bat. This game feels like its cutting straight to the heart of some stuff, like feeling like you don't really belong anywhere, and losing the one person you really connected with, the fear of staying at a dead-end job forever. its jokes feel funny and original too, I feel like the author really has something here. I'm pretty sure the author said that they plan on continuing this game, which I hope they do, but as of now, I think the endings are symbolic of the different routes in life at that stage: the coffe = working yourself to death, the drugs: throwing your life away for cheap thrills, and staying at dimitris house: moving on. the first two are just kind of funny, when you play them first hand, but the last one hits hard. its short sweet and impactful. The author has some lightning in a bottle, and I can be quite the critic so that means something
