The story in "Drive Me Crazy" features a simple yet engaging narrative with multiple branching paths and mini-games that enhance player immersion. While some routes diverge significantly from the main plot and contain inconsistencies, the overall experience is bolstered by interesting characters and interactive elements. However, the realism of character interactions is often questioned, leading to a mix of enjoyment and silliness throughout the gameplay.
- “While the romance FMVs may be unrealistic, the story of Niannian Shen and Meng Xia felt quite real, and it was actually hard to leave them.”
- “The story is overall quite simple and contains different branching paths and various routes you can unlock, along with a helpful roadmap of completion in the main menu.”
- “This game is an entertaining experience to play, allowing you to choose the girl you like the most to advance in her story and make different choices to help you conquer and finish her route.”
- “I'll be honest: the story doesn't always make sense and it can get very silly at times, but it has many interesting characters, fun minigames, and catchy music.”
- “But apart from that, some of the routes are quite far away from the main story, telling completely different stories, such as playing in a bar, visiting a veterinary clinic, attending a photo shoot, etc., random situations that are only slightly related to the main story because the protagonist is there with the excuse that he is looking for his ring.”
- “Finally, regarding the story of the game, although it tries to be realistic, telling stories of pure love with each of the girls and everyday situations according to their personalities, this realism is lost with the way the girls act.”
