The premise is pretty fun and makes for a unique interpretation of the theme; you'll get my points for that. However, I feel like the game itself doesn't really do a lot with the fact that it's supposed to depict a trashy reality show? The characters are all a little muted and there's little drama to speak of, no host or crew appear to be present (making for an awkward introductionary scene where the other contestants have to say all the "welcome to the show" stuff), and the fact that they're being filmed doesn't really seem to be on anyone's mind actively. It feels like it should have come up in the scene when the protagonist is considering getting intimate with the love interest, for instance, if not in general as something most people would find a bit stressful.

The contest is also just incredibly freeform in a way that comes off as out of character for this kind of thing – besides the coupling rule, all the contestants seem to do is hang out, with not even the big "group date" having anything that surprising or entertaining happen in it. Following the events from a single protagonist's point of view means we also miss out on confession cams, hyper-dramatic sound effects, and all the other tacky tricks these shows often use.

Ultimately, even if it might be just the VN being unfinished, it doesn't feel like there's much here to latch on to. The side characters getting a lot of screentime and the formal structure of the show progressing so slowly don't help, either; if I was a producer on Find Your Light, I would make the contestants couple right away to provide some action.
