Let people know how long this project has been going, or share a bit of its history.
I started this project months ago (I want to say in october?). Before the pandemic I never really dated, didn't have the time, and didn't really prioritize it. During the pandemic I messed around with some dating apps just to see what it was like. As a queer asian person those interactions inspired this game. I was pretty much done with this game until I met a guy, on a dating app. We went on a date (my first) and I kept pushing off the ending of this game. I had no idea what the resolution should be because in my own life I didn't know how this relationship would turn out. Things between us didn't work out and I learned romantic relationships maybe aren't my thing. Whatever it was, as I parsed my complicated feelings about what had happened I came back to this game as a means to organize my thoughts and give myself closure. So, finally, here's this game: a small autobiographical experience and my love letter to people who use dating apps and have no idea what they're doing.

I can totally relate to how incredibly awkward it is to text strangers in dating apps XD. The game managed to be funny but also express something meaningful. Nice work!
