Thanks for the thoughts and comments.
The goal of YAGS was to make a game focused on meeting people, making friends, and coming out. As such, I understand it's not for everyone... for example, it's expected that you'll play through the first time without successfully dating anyone, and there's a lot more "everyday interactions" rather than specific plot developments. It's very much a slice-of-life game without a real story throughout it.
But I appreciate you giving it a try anyway!
