It looks captivating and nostalgic, like a throwback to the nineties, (Go Team Gen. Y!!) but a touch depressing. The promotional screenshots hardly fill one's heart with promise; presumably, the pickup artistry will be difficult here, if even possible, which is a troubling thought, considering how few (of the countless) games there are out there on the market that actually teach seduction skills effectively, against the mass of media which reduces the art to absurdity in a mean-spirited and Juvenalian way. (It would be well and good in a Kierkegaardian sense, of course, except that when Kierkegaard writes the Seducer's Diary his protagonist is fairly effective in his craft, and this makes the moral critique that follows that much more brilliant and, let's face it: our Generation doesn't exactly follow the precepts of the "Ethical Life" to such an extent that it would become miraculously qualified in judging Don Giovanni to be a pervert or deviant.) That being said: aside from the game apparently falling short of perfection in both the aesthetic and the ethical domains, (though perhaps this is simply an illusion owing to a fluke in marketing) it seems to tread the line between the two Worlds with a certain pomp and confidence: a fitting endeavour for a theme that blurs the lines between This World and the Hereafter. You have my attention.

Is this satire?

They are very smart.
