March 2025
This is a fun little game that I enjoy coming back to every now and then to see what different outcomes I can achieve. Nothing in it is too complicated, and the story is fairly straightforward and, at times, humorous and emotional. The writers don't hold back on offering the player the chance to determine their own morality and that of the characters with whom they interact throughout the game. There are very few decisions in this game that don't carry some kind of sacrifice or weight behind them, yet the gameplay itself isn't too demanding or complicated. Because of this, you can play the game for a bit, walk away, do something else for any amount of time, come back, and know exactly where you are, what you're doing, and where you'll go from there. The multiple important options and events also encourage you to play it as many times as you want to see how your decisions and ending are impacted.

Pretty fun game. When you start out it's pretty obvious that you start out as a lazy deadbeat flake who is a month behind rent whose girlfriend left him for being a lazy mooch (and also a bad friend who scooped up his friend's crush) but with a little effort you can teach this little punk the meaning of hard work, pay off all of your debts and become someone who has enough disposable income to help people instead of being a mooch.

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.

While the creators are rather heavy handed with their exposition, story line, and personal tastes that quite honestly do absolutely nothing to enhance the gaming experience, this is a good, fun, game to play. I've played several times and I'm starting again!
