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. :)

This game can be very profound with the dialogue at times which questions your own morals, ethics, choices, and who you are as a person. While the dialogue is pretty good, the actions don't have as much consequence on the ending or outcome of the game until the final section. This weakens the purpose of what the game was going for by basically having previous bad decisions be brought up and then discarded based on decisions made in the final section. Still worth playing though and a very easy 100% which gives achievements just for playing through the whole story.

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 probably outdated and outclassed in this day and age, but for me is something i like to remember fondly on from time to time.

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.

I did NOT expect this game to be as good as it is. I stumbled across the trailer and thought "that might be fun". I now regret buying it on sale. The devs deserved ALL of my money. I don't usually care for romance; and this game is, at its core, a romance (the whole point is to win your ex back), and since I didn't care about that, I got the worst possible ending lol. The thing is, I loved the adventure so much, I almost didn't care. I just enjoyed the ride. When I replayed it, I managed to get the "good" ending (which isn't all that difficult if you think about your choices), and the outcomes really makes you think about life and relationships in general. The interactions you can have with other characters, and the ways in which you can mess around, are both heart wrenching and hilarious. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys story, problem solving, and old fashioned 8-bit adventures.
