The game's story revolves around an internet romance that takes unexpected turns, featuring a mix of cheesy elements and intriguing plot twists. While some players find the narrative engaging and appreciate the cutscenes, others criticize it for being limited and overly simplistic. Overall, the story elicits mixed reactions, with some enjoying its quirky nature and others feeling it falls flat.
“Loved all the plot twists and cutscenes.”
“Fantastic story with unbelievable plot twists!”
“All it is is a game that limits how fast you move through it with stamina limitation and then a cheesy story with it.”
“You message a girl online, you think you're going to hook up, but you have to get all these items to bring first, and yet you can't take your vehicle? Then the story continues (no spoilers) and the game is over.”
“Another completely whacked out storyline game from this developer, this time it's a story about internet romance gone horribly wrong!”

The humor in the game is initially engaging, particularly in the opening cutscene, but quickly loses its charm due to repetitive gameplay and a lack of variety. While the game attempts to be ironic and funny, it ultimately feels tedious and poorly executed, leading to a recommendation for streamers to provide their own commentary to salvage the experience. Overall, the humor is seen as a missed opportunity that could benefit from a more consistent and entertaining approach.
“It's funny because the only interaction you really make is press forward and tap right sometimes.”
“This game, on the other hand, isn't realistic and it wants you to interact enough with it that it goes from 'look how slow this is lol' to 'ok just get to the next funny part'.”
“So yeah, to the consumer I say don't bother, to any streamers or YouTubers maybe play it but make sure you can keep your viewers entertained with your commentary and to the creator of the game I say; try again and focus more on the goofiness and trash, you made a legitimately funny opening but don't let the joke overstay its welcome.”
