Very unique game I have to say. The concept is really solid, and is a really stand out entry in this jam!
I was impressed at how well put together the world was. Usually jam games feel incomplete but this one felt like a really full experience. The music really suited the whole coffee shop setting as well, which really added to the experience. The graphics were a little too polygonal for my taste, but that's just me. Maybe throwing a smoothing shader on all the models would make it look better. Getting an art-style nailed down is not an easy task, but this game was very consistent which is great. I would just recommend either using less polygons or smoothing out the model to hide all the polys.
Out of all the jam games I would be really interested in seeing this one expanded. It isn't a stereotypical visual novel at all which is a great change of pace. The characters feel more alive, and the dialogue was really fun to read. I would be down to play an "awkward life simulator" that goes through the characters life more.
Great Job!

I love the artstyle and atmosphere, really well done! A refreshing take on dating sims (or dating in general?). I had a good laugh at the beginning, where you started the conversation with literally no options at all.

The concept is really great, the dialogs are good and interesting, it's really fun to play. Really a good job and a real identity ! Nice game !

That was cute, I could feel myself getting invested in my date and not wanting to upset her. Apparently I'm silent a lot.

There were two things in this jam that really stood out for me:
1. The moment when my date starts speaking faster and faster (and I'm reading frantically to catch up) and then my character zens out. That was unexpectedly cool.
2. The facial expressions. These breathed a ton of life into the worlds characters and made me feel so much closer to my date.

I've never played dating sims before or visual novels and such. Usually i find games where i have to read a lot of text boring but the music really set the pace for this one. I was actually able to sit through most of the dialogues. The writing was great too(but i'm a non native english speaker so please take that with a grain of salt :sweat_smile:. The dialogues were funny. The conversation choices were ...interesting haha. Good job on the game!

See this is brilliant; ty for making this; I identify more with the coffee than anything, but that's my own problems; awesome work!

I'm impressed how this game feels complete for a Jam.
really liked the idea. The dialogues were funny and well written and her facial expressions were a great touch.
The ending surprised me but explained a lot xD
Really well done, congrats!

Really liked the writing, played through it twice to see some of the different reactions (only played with silence the first time)

I liked it even though I'm not the biggest fan of visual novels. I liked the artstyle quite a bit.
