I absolutely love the UI design where the opening sequence has the player input their name and then gets shot in the head. The way the bad ending is portrayed—with the characters starting to communicate in machine code (01011011011) as if to signify “loss of vocabulary!!”—was genuinely hilarious. Every single piece of direction was incredibly creative. Thank you for making such a great game.

Execution aside, this is a super unique and interesting concept. I respect that.

It was so  funny ! The art-style was also very polished . Good job.

Nice concept, nice mechanic, It’s one of the few word games I’ve seen and is interested through out the itch itself so it defo would be happy to be notified when the game is fully polished!

Good work!

insert "wife material"/"i can fix her" joke

What a cool concept! I definitely want to see this in its full potential (hopefully with some soundtrack...)

Besides not having a sound track, the game was really interesting! I would love to see this fully fleshed out with the different stages as you progress. was really getting into it learning about (i called her mel).to make the experience more enjoyable I popped on some dissillusion ST music in the background

DISILLUSION FAN SPOTTED. Disillusion is also a huge inspiration to me lol.

Also, what a fun concept! I would really love to see this more fleshed out with additional relationship stages and such. I also think this game could use some music. There is a lot of great royalty-free music you can use, and many indie games, even some big ones, do. You just have to search for the right tracks. But I think this concept has so much potential. The dialogue was really fun and quirky, so I really hope you keep working on the game!

Some music would've added a lot. Great idea, and the girl is creepy. Good job.

Gameplay definitely has potential. And the goth ghost girl looking at you from behind is... I'm kinda into it.

loved the hand drawn style, and it was pretty intuitive how to play, i liked the randomly generated sentences, i would just try to make the stupidest sounding sentence lol. the gunshot/ear ring at the beginning should definitely go though, it hurt my ears :(

Submitted

Even though the game is pretty simple, I appreciate that you drew everything yourself and really put in the effort, saw the project through to the end, and shared it. It'll get easier and better every time, trust me! Good luck!

I guess dating in 2025 is its own kind of horror. Very creative take!

Submitted

I enjoyed the game, it felt interactive.

Didn't think I would get the chance to date a goth ghost 😂. Worth being mind break btw 😂

Cool gameplay about stringing together random words!
