An unsettling bait-and-switch experience that deconstructs the tropes of visual dating sims and its disregard for women's agency, albeit on a surface level that is. It also tried to be critical of the players behind this medium, which I think was brilliant. While it did hammer its point home by exploiting the mental illness of its characters and turning it into cheap shock value, it's still an unbelievably messed-up ride.

There's this one scene in here where a certain character mentioned my real-life full name and I was freaked out for a minute or two! That's gotta be one of the most terrifying video game experiences I've ever had.
