I liked the idea and the dialogs.
it was a really good implementation for a Pico-8 development. Congrats!
But I'm really bad at the controls, tho.. Haha

How does your game apply the limitation and theme?
It's a Real World Task themed game and I used my interpratation of "Decay", as player's attractiveness decay when he doesn't handle main character emotions

As an anxious bald guy, I have to say, very realistic, it is extremely hard to know where to put your hands. This is very charming, I enjoyed the Pico-8 limitations and the little snippets of dialog in between dates. The failure dialog was especially funny. I did notice a bug that if I failed with 1 life left on the last prompt, it would restart the date with 0 attractiveness left, but I managed to land that date eventually. Great work!

Escaping WinterIt has hard to control controls and it was hard getting the hands to go to the hitboxes

Crumbling EconomyThis was quite hard to handle, yet very funny and satisfying every time you actually put the hands in the right place.

JOB Simulator!Really cool idea. I feel the X to skip dialog was a bit of a odd choice, forcing you to play the game with 2 hands, skipping with Enter would have been more intuitive and would allow to play with a single hand since you never have to control the hand and skip dialog at the same time. Also I feel sometimes I was clearly at the right spot and it would seem to detect it was, making it a bit frustrating (special with the wine for some reason). Other than that it was a really well made game, really cool to have all this text and it actually felt like there was a conversation between the character and that my character was acting cool when I succeed are like a douche when I would not.
Really nice idea and well made. Good job.

Golden GardenReally cool, it takes a while to get used to but then it gets really satisfying when you are able to start consistently getting it. The audio fits great. Great job!
