It's just good. After readign Homestuck. I wanted more troll stuff and interact with them myself in some way, and see how they living, Me likey. It's not perfect, it could've been more interesting with choice part. But again, we just making friends and not really ending up in relationships. Protag have not a bad cynergy with ourselfs(player) too.

this game is amazing for hiveswap fans, or people who like befriending aliens in general. all these characters are so easy to fall in love with (not romantically despite the tensions present). it's really fun to go back and look at the "wrong" routes (are they really wrong if you're uninterested in their friendship?). they're all so cute. this is a really fun spin on dating simulators without forced love.

Despite the mixed art style and writing I absolutely adore friendsim. It perfectly captures that feeling of going out at night and trying to make friends in an often hostile world. Idk if I can recommend it to nonhomestucks but I adore this game.

Despite having a deeply inconsistent art style and a lot of the routes being admittedly boring, there were enough good ones to make me enjoy the experience as a whole. Pretty much all of the technical aspects of it are jank, and there are some issues that really dont make sense to be in a paid release, but the content itself is good.
