Do people usually bend over backwards to convince other people how awesome their friends are, even when it doesn't matter one whit to their friend? oO
...humans are weird.
I also wish there was a non-moralizing choice to say you were single.
The current choices is "I'm so overly moral that I care if I cheat!" or "Let's keep it secret." How about adding a "Nope, I'm single." choice?
The writing could benefit from some improvement...
It's not the worst I've seen, but the dialogues are...not great.
(Try Brandon McNulty on YouTube. He has several good vs bad dialogue option for writing.)
The concept for this story is very good.
And I absolutely see the influence from Doki Doki Litterature club.
But you fall short of hitting the Vally of the Uncanny that made the abovementioned game have such a creepy impact.
Your game, and your characters are a bit...shallow.
I think this game have the potential to become good in the future, but you need to put a LOT of more work into it --especially the writing, (and the tacky horror parts), if you want to make it a great game.
Tyler is cute, but too over-the-top.
Perhaps it's intentional, but the whole game comes off as a parody on Doki Doki Litterature Club.
Like... all the elements is there, but it's done so bluntly and badly that it feels like the story equivalent of doing surgery with a sledghammer instead of a scalpel.
If that makes sense.
And why can't you say yes to dating him btw?
That ending was tragic.
And with zero choices. >_>
