There is a vibe this game has that I've really been looking for and only now have found. The vibe in question being a sense of apathy and misery both in the world and characters. While I don't like everything about this game, those dislikes are more of a taste thing and not objective criticism. To me, this story was simply a group of (mostly) friends who get their shitty and mentally I'll existence pounded by life. It seems that Hailey and Maya are the main focus for this story due to the jam it was submitted to, but almost all the other characters are subject to complicated and shitty relationships. And the dynamics and interactions between these individuals are extremely interesting to see.
Something I was really surprised with was how a not small number of characters were each written to be memorable and behave uniquely. If you told me a character's name, I could instantly put a face to it and tell you about their personality and what they did in the story, that is not an easy thing to pull off as a writer. I was also surprised at the comedy this game was able to pull off, especially with Audrey, I think I audibly laughed like 2-3 times during this thing.
Story aside, the game was made really well. I liked the game's style and its art, and if I recall correctly I only caught one spelling mistake. What I didn't like however was the use of things like "LMAO" or keyboard spamming in the voice lines. I don't mind it when characters are texting of course, but when it's in-person dialogue it just felt weird, I suppose this is a preference however.
Great job to everyone involved in this game's creation, and if it's not a problem, I'd love to ask questions about the writing process.
