Hello so I read the last tweet from Jenny before writing this and since we can’t say what is true i’m writing this review with the softest tone and only talk about the game <3 have a good read !
1) The story in general
In the first place, the story feels rushed, I'm not the best writer but you can tell that we miss a lot of information for exemple starting with how fast the guy gets followers for doing almost nothing (I think maybe make the whole story a week would be better with more action) to the hanging ending . I feel like the whole story is a mix of Needy Girl Overdose ( the fact he wants 1M in a week and he is helped by his partner) and DDLC for its "disturbing" ending. And you know what it's great you take inspiration for your game but the issue is that it’s very similar so the game feel less original. I also feel like the whole game feel like a booktok comment section (probably cause I’m not target audience but I feel like that kind of way to write is gonna age very badly kinda like error 143). Also to finish this first part the relationship between the MC and the guy. The whole time it just feels like the MC controls everything about this little white hair dude it just feels like I'm playing a toxic relationship simulator (talking about the fact that we aren't guiding him for a better streamer career but we are imposing him stuff like "ban her from modding" or even when he have to apologize and the MC literally choose for him and when he say "I don't think it's a great idea" the MC doesn't listen to him and force him). Ofc the mc got some reason to be like this especially with the mod being a creep to him. To my eyes, he has 0 personality. Plus the fact that he is sexualized by everybody in the game is just so sad he kinda deserves better. :(
2)The hanging and homicide ending
So to resume this he decides to kill himself because he got bullied on the internet cause he apparently hates people with cancer (I think it’s a silly reason but someone said it’s about showing cancel culture? I think it was written in not so good way cause I personally feels like the game was making a joke). The whole reason why he did this is very silly and it explains why I think the story is rushed but you know maybe before he was mentally unstable and it was the event that finally broke him. Nope, he killed himself just like that, there is no indication that he is feeling bad, it just happened. The way she just killed him was very disturbing. Suicide is a very serious topic, normally you get signals of those things, this guy is not killing himself like that. It just feels like the ending was here to just shock people and it did, I was shocked because it happened without warning (not talking about trigger), it was so out of place. I don't really get words to describe this scene cause the picture was very graphic kinda like DDLC but when you play it you know what is going to happen here no (now yes if you read the post but it’s kinda hide). Same for the Homicide ending it kinda happened like the hanging ending out of pocket and was very graphic.
After playing for a second time normally you get an interaction with the cat (introduced at the start of the story and then forgotten) he said "yeah I can bring him back if you leave 5,000 rates on itch.io". This whole thing is just crazy to me (about how the story just out of pocket killed the character I know it’s explained by the plot but it was put in a very “awkward” way) the game ask for a good ending if you give good rates... I don’t think it's ok and I feel like the game is using his death and his suicide as a way to get reviews (btw I know he is fictional I’m more talking about the idea of his death I hope my word aren’t confuse)
Ok bye!!XX
go check twitter people are talking about the issue i can't say here
