Pretty fun game. When you start out it's pretty obvious that you start out as a lazy deadbeat flake who is a month behind rent whose girlfriend left him for being a lazy mooch (and also a bad friend who scooped up his friend's crush) but with a little effort you can teach this little punk the meaning of hard work, pay off all of your debts and become someone who has enough disposable income to help people instead of being a mooch.

I'm actually on the page because I wanted to recommend it to someone! :) I really was immersed in the story and binged it! It's a neat idea, and I loved it. It might be one I've not played for a while, but it stuck with me. :)

its been about a decade since i've played this game, but i remember it being one of the more engaging story driven games i've played and it being a fun introduction into the genre. i vaguely remember the morally gray aspects of the game and the authors set out to do what they wanted to do, which was a novel about making seemingly terrible choices in order to win back the love of your life, if you even do win them back at all. while i dont remember the writing in its entirety or some of the actions you can take in the game, i remember it being a super eye opening experience for me as a teenager. probably outdated and outclassed in this day and age, but for me is something i like to remember fondly on from time to time.

While the creators are rather heavy handed with their exposition, story line, and personal tastes that quite honestly do absolutely nothing to enhance the gaming experience, this is a good, fun, game to play. I've played several times and I'm starting again!

A game about the many morally gray areas in life, and many things that not everyone may ever have to deal with first person. Some of the presentations suffer because of the game engine used, but they did a damn good job of overcoming those limitations. Some choices we make a minor and matter little, but so many we may not realize just how significant they are. The game / story has a few quirky moments that I cannot mention because spoilers, but they were quite cleaver! Despite the medium used not being the best, the story of the game is a must for anyone who wants to ever give a damn about others. The worst of us may yet be redeemed and the best of us may fall if we do not pay attention. Such is the cycle a the extremes.
