After seeing this game pop up around my socials for weeks on end, I finally dove in two nights ago and unexpectedly fell in love. As an avid user of Discord, the aesthetic already appealed to me, but you nailed it on every level. It truly felt like I was navigating the app and every character spoke in styles I've seen real people use! So many times, I stopped and went "omg they type just like x person!" The art only added to the captivating appeal. Plus, I've been leaving the main menu open just to jam to the theme song for longer than I'd care to admit.
Normally in dating sims, certain characters feel more fleshed out or just more "right" to date than others. Not so here. Not whatsoever. Everyone had their time in the spotlight, and I found myself thinking "surely I won't like this next candidate as much" before falling all over again. They each had such interesting and unique quirks to their character types, and the way their stories developed were intriguing, endearing, and made the player care about what happened to them. That is no easy feat.
MAJOR shoutout to all of the central voice actors! Xyx, in particular, blew me away. The way he delivered each line was so organic that it helped the relationship feel much more authentic, especially with a character that could've easily felt the opposite otherwise. I truly hope that, in future games you make, these VAs make a return!
Thank you for developing such a special game. I truly hope to see more of it in the future, be it in this same universe or simply replicating its style, because it felt so...distinctive. Like it left a fingerprint on the gaming world I'd been waiting for. But even if not, consider me a long-haul supporter of any robobarbie games :)
