lovelettervbs rated I Have a Boyfriend I Never Met

lovelettervbs rated a visual novel 4 years ago
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

It's a cute little game and quite short, it has a unique art style and the (albeit quite minimal) character customization is nice to have, but I did have some problems with the game.  Immediately upon starting, I had trouble figuring out how to navigate the menu as it was a little confusing, there were lots of buttons that were rather small given that it was made for mobile.  It also wasn't super clear that I had to click on the game icon in the center to play rather than choosing to play/load which just had me in a loop of entering a name for my character over and over.  As for gameplay itself, it is fine overall, but the animation transitions like bouncing in or fading out in a swirl for the character portraits constantly playing over and over is also very distracting, to be honest, it seems excessive and similar to having lots of transitions for text or images in a powerpoint presentation, it detracts from the game and makes it hard to focus on the in game dialogue, I think less would have been more there.  Also, and this is something small, but when you close the game the text (that I think is there?) to confirm if you want to quit is unreadable as it is white text in a white box.
