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!

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.
