Just feels absolutely awful to play compared to the original version. Like you’re both weighed down and have too much momentum at the same time (but it somehow doesn’t balance each other out). The original version has its own issues too, but it’s still better than this.

In an alternate universe, Moira Burton and Chloe Price would be the best of friends.

Tchia cut off a dude’s hand, jumped out of a plane, and gave him the finger on the way down. IM NOT JOKING. This game is wild.

I swear if I hear someone else call me a heartless piece of crap for wanting two queer characters ALIVE and happy together at the end (at the expense of one make believe town) I’m going to freaking explode. Besides the bury the gay trope, it’s still a very good game.

2020

Just feels really pretentious and I really don’t wanna do all those puzzles. Plus, the original game looks way better.

Be gay stop crime.

Translation: I want this REALLY FREAKING BADDDDD

I really, really, really love this game. I’ve always been fond of the Life is Strange series, but this one really hit me hard. Such an amazing narrative, great characters, and both the romance options were great (I’m only polyamorous in games, I’ve recently found out (people suck in real life), which really makes me appreciate the freedom of polygamy in Boyfriend Dungeon. I wish I could’ve given the rose to both of them!!!). This is one of my favorites for sure. I cry at everything, but this made me cry a lot. And not only did I cry a lot, but the crying felt meaningful. I love playing games where I can take something away from it, and I will take many things away from this one. A must play if you love visual novels, are really emotional, and love a good story, because honestly, video games seem like the best way to get one nowadays.

P.S. I chose Steph 🌹
P.S.S. Also, damn! I was thinking about Lake recently and it turns out that this and Lake are pretty darn similar! Either you stay or go w/ the girl who has a big hobby and has a store based around it (movies or music) or the sweet lumberjack. Both take place within a small and tranquil town, where the main character just moved in. They also came out like 10 days apart from each other…

Play co-op and watch player one get 150,000+ points(!) and then get a nice 2,000.

The co-op mode is the equivalent of watching somebody take pretty much all of your dinner and then leaving you with meaningless parts of each food to eat (crumbs!). Not satisfying to be player 2 ☹️

P.S. Also crashed on my PS5 5 times in one day ☹️☹️

Edit: Beat it and now the game has crashed a total of 15 times.

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCCCCHHHHH
It’s so gay and the gameplay is extremely fun and it’s so cute and sailor moon inspired and it’s a slept on indie gem from this year!!! Play it!!!
P.S. 😘 to Ro and Ro only
P.S.S. Maybe possibly to Garlic too

Edit: Okay maybe just Ro but Garlic is my Bff and Emby’s so cute and FLOOFY

I’ve given this a lot of thought

Dear Pierce,

GET IN THE FREAKING CAR!

I feel like it’s more fun to think about how amazing all the ideas in this game are, then to play them, at least for me. Every idea is stretched out too long, some of the boss fights are really finicky and not fun (looking at you moon baboon) and who wants to tear apart a freaking stuffed animal limb by limb! I think me and my brother are the only people who aren’t madly in love with this game. I respect it for how ambitious it is, and the million different mechanics it sort of balances well, it also looks gorgeous and has a whole bunch of fun Easter eggs (except for the Oscar one, how many times does he need to mention that he’s said the f-word?). I do appreciate how much joy this game brings others, and how much of a big step forward it is in co-op gaming, but I honestly didn’t have that much fun with it.

Oh man I really messed up on this one. I have a really bad track record of ending games on a sour note. I really love this game, but I was so confused with the terminal. I didn’t know that ls was with a lowercase l, not an i, and I stuck for like over 40 minutes on just figuring that out. I was so excited to get back home and finish this game today, so I kinda ruined it for myself a bit. I finished the rest of the terminal stuff but I just felt so disconnected at that point. I honestly would’ve been fine without the terminal stuff, or maybe just in a more simplified way? Either way, I still identify with this game A LOT. I’m not trans, but I am bi and it almost feels like this game was made for me. Obviously, it was not, but there are so many personal things about figuring out your identity that I can relate to. Like feeling like your tricking yourself into being gay, just because. Or just because you feel like you’d want to be, which apparently isn’t a valid reason enough. I literally had that thought this morning. It’s still a little hard to believe myself, but like they’ve said so many times in this game, she’ll figure it out. And I kinda did. I had/have HOCD so it was really difficult for me to accept myself as possibly bi, but without a label, but that led me to where I am now. Just accepting it is the first step, and it’s a damn difficult and important one to accomplish. I resonate sooooo much with this game. I just don’t know why I have a bad touch with games. Ikenfell crashed on gamepass so I could only watch the epilogue on somebody’s walkthrough, I got really irritable with The wild at heart new the end because I was getting really stuck. Uggghhhh. I love this game so much, and I’m just really upset I kinda ruined this one for myself too. Oh and I also love Sailor Moon too, so it really feels like this was made for me, even though yes, it’s not and it does tell a separate story, but it still tells an amazing universal tale of exploring your gender, sexuality or just finding out who the heck you are, in general (or all three!). Such a great game, I just wish I could code better. Laguna is too smart for me

P.S. also, one more thing. At the end, I kinda did the ending wrong where the dad was just irritating me so much I closed the message app and then I couldn’t get back in and closed the game and then I had to replay the ending part before the dad conversation again AHHHH why do I do this to myself? :(

Really good until that stupid final boss. Incredibly difficult in every unfair and cheap way. Besides that, worth a play with your best bro.

Man, does this go places! (And I’m so glad it did, what a wonderful and impactful game that’s made by only one person!)

Try this if you can (it’s on humble) it’s worth your time.
