_"Great, another player discovered my game world. How did this happen? Oh no, oh damn, they've gone through all the standard characters and unlocked the secret route. And it can only mean one thing. It is now my turn"._

Story: Risa is a secret character in a dating sim. What's worse, she's both a "childhood friend" archetype AND a "tsundere" archetype (although she'd probably deny it). And right now... she's being captured.

It's kinda unfair that the player can pick all the best options to inevitably get their happy ending... but you know what, Risa can fight back, too. And she has the benefit of knowing the LOVE POINTS (blergh) behind the choices! Well, most of them.
So just switch those options at the last moment to make your dates a complete disaster and frustrate the player to the point of abandoning the game!

*
> * Avoid being charmed by the protagonist!
> * Learn what those hidden options do!
> * Stall for long enough to bore the player!

> * Play in browser!

Controls: mouse only. Whenever you see the player's heart-shaped cursor creeping towards a choice, substitute that option with something that would give fewer points. Or don't, if you want to see the bad ending. Consecutive runs will be smoother as you reveal hidden content!
