Reviews
- The game presents a unique concept of dating based on personality rather than appearance, which is refreshing in the dating sim genre.
- The writing and character interactions, particularly during one-on-one segments, are engaging and can create emotional attachments to the characters.
- Considering the low price, the game offers a fun, albeit short, experience that can be enjoyable for those looking for something different.
- The game suffers from significant bugs that can hinder gameplay, such as crashing when certain inputs are made and issues with progressing through the game.
- Character development is minimal, leading to a lack of depth in interactions and making the overall experience feel superficial and repetitive.
- The game is very short, with routes that can be completed quickly, resulting in a lack of incentive to explore all options or endings.

The game's story is perceived as simplistic and lacking depth, with players expressing disappointment over the absence of a more engaging narrative tied to character choices. While the concept of a "life story" is appreciated for its inclusivity, it is criticized for being repetitive and slow-paced, making the overall experience feel basic and akin to a children's book rather than a compelling dating sim.
“They continue this trend of acceptance by noting that kids are 'adopted' as part of your life story instead of conceived, meaning the player's gender is not assumed.”
“Getting to know all the characters in the intro was probably my favorite part, and the 'life story' was cute but also very short.”
“If you treat it as some type of interactive story, it's okay, not the usual dating sim.”
“I'm sad there was no storyline with the characters. I would have loved to see how it would have progressed based on choices throughout the game.”
“I also think that the game missed an opportunity to have a story, which I believe would have enhanced the overall experience.”
“It was all very basic, and the language was so simplistic during the actual 'story' that it felt more like a children's book than a dating sim.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, particularly for its unique "interview" mechanic that adds depth to the dating game genre. However, players feel that the experience could be enhanced with a wider variety of character prompts and a longer overall gameplay duration to encourage more engagement with the mechanics.
“It would have been more interesting if the game provided different prompts for each character, or if there were a larger selection of random prompts that any character could give you, creating more incentive to utilize that mechanic throughout the game.”
“Really good, and I really like the 'interview' part at the beginning, which is rare in a dating game. However, I found the gameplay to be way too short.”

Initially perceived as shallow, the characters reveal depth and complexity through one-on-one interactions, leading players to develop a strong emotional attachment as they learn about their backstories and personal struggles.
“At first, I found the characters very shallow; however, once you get to talk to them one-on-one, hear about their backstories and personal trials, I found all the ones I talked to very interesting and felt an emotional attachment to them.”

Users report significant stability issues, highlighting that encountering buggy screens can halt progress and result in lost game data, as there are no clear options to save or return to the menu in such situations.
“It's impossible to progress, and there isn't any obvious way to save or return to the menu once you hit one of these buggy screens without losing all progress.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it frustrating to continue playing.”
“I encountered multiple glitches that forced me to restart, which ruined my gaming experience.”
