I wanted to know if John was an actual dating sim protagonist, or just acted in his love life like he was (we know him to be a gamer and somewhat socially inept)

Kinda wonder if her not being much better than whatshisface in the end was intentional.

This has a nice enough premise but literally falls apart when it repeats verbatim the kindness coin phrase in a totally artificial way and has a really unrealistic characterization in terms of response.

The male character also never really learns that what he did was wrong, only that the main character is gay and that totally explains why she didn’t go for him, not the fact that he completely disrespected her as a person. Ultimately the main character ends up apologizing to the creeper for not trying to fix him sooner.

Actual men in this situation tend to lash out or harbor ill-will long afterward because they’re not interested in changing because they don’t think they did anything wrong. That “lets still be friends” that he pulls is more ominous than anything else, since it basically means “I still want to have access to you so I can try a different, better script on you.”

Short but sweet. I’d actually love to see this as a full, effecting options game. I bet it would be seven kinds of hilarious. The art was super sweet and I can’t believe a spider drew it! Thanks for this! Seriously.

Could have almost worked better long-term, showing how idealistic it is that a rejected person who has expended so much effort just to get with someone would not be totally okay with remaining as a friend and how poisonous the social atmosphere that would remain between them could be. Even the fact that someone’s not interested in your sex won’t stop some people.

I enjoyed this as a person, but as a gay woman I enjoyed it especially. As it became clear that no option, either chosen by mistake or on purpose, was going to force Florence into dating the boy, I found myself relaxing. “Oh, I get to be me in this game.” thanks so much for making this

I liked this a lot. The characters and dialog were really natural in what could have easily just been a cheesy after school special affair.

I think I would have liked to have seen a few more dynamic dialog choices in the latter half, but I can see how they were played as non-options to enhance what was going on. Not that I want to hook up with the guy, lol, the earlier choices just added a little more depth on later plays. :3 Maybe something like a first date option at the end to call back the date sim theme and put a final twist on it.
