The game's ok but really it seems to exist only because everyone's stupid. People do stupid things and then it's not really explained why so you're left wondering if you've missed something in the story. It feels like a game of "here's a list of scenarios which happen to the MC. All of them are bad. Have fun though" and really by the 4th or 5th bad thing it kind of looses its impact and you're wondering why you're still playing. Like I get you need to break down to build up but it's like one bad thing after another and there's little to no respite from it so you're starting to get bummed out for the MC on his behalf.
You break up with your girlfriend very early on it feels completely warranted, even if the story seems to kind of suggest otherwise. Given her reaction to you it feels there's more going on there. Like the MC's been a dick and ignoring her and this was the final straw, so it's hard to have sympathy for a MC where it seems he's the problem. He then mopes about it which again is understandable but as it's hinted he's made mistakes then as a player I'm unsure why I should feel sympathetic for him.
And not to mention the game suffers from the "stupid best friend" trope. Like, I suspect the dev is trying to promote and airy, light hearted jokey game but the friend comes off as annoying so you're just left wondering how the hell he's even kept about. Like with the girlfriend I can appreciate there's obviously an attachment there but going on the evidence you are given in the game...... it makes no sense. Not to mention the good old "angry sister trope". Why's she angry at MC? Who knows. Is it justified? Meh so literally all the scenes with her feel hollow. Do we NEED her, is she doing anything for the game, like at all? Or is it a case of all the other games people play have one so this game needs one. Way to think right smack bang in the middle of the box....
I'm probably being harsh, the game's ok. The characters look ok if a bit off in some angles (there's something weird going on with the jaws and mouths and I can't work out what exactly but it feels a bit uncanny valley). If anything and it's probably not a good sign but I've actually found the game is more enjoyable when the focus isn't on the MC. There are a number of instances where it branches off and you get a scene with the focus on someone else and I find these much more engaging than the first few scenes with the MC who basically keeps having bad things happen to him.
