I really liked the concept of this game, it's fun and I also never played something like this before (a shame that it isn't a msn parody but a parody about a chat messenger that I've never heard before, though I was only a little kid in 2002 it was msn that was popular but whatever lol).

I really liked the concept of this game, it's fun and I also never played something like this before (a shame that it isn't a msn parody but a parody about a chat messenger that I've never heard before, though I was only a little kid in 2002 it was msn that was popular but whatever lol). The only downside of this game is that you have to pretend to type everything wth and I can't save when I want to.

Besides this, Emily is a b****, I hated her, ffs, is the boy her psychologist or something? Go seek up therapy girl and don't go vent up to your "friends" and blaming them (I don't even know if the ml was her friend since she said that her bf was her best friend lol also was her choice to visit him and have sex, accept your consequences girl lol. I also hated that in the last dialogues the ml kept deleting his messages. If the game was giving me a choice that the ml wasn't going use, it wasn't giving to me any choice at all and I hate games that give you an "illusion of a choice". But since it was only in the last 10% of the game it didn't bother me that much.

I don't know what was harder: the nostalgia attack, or the realization that even though I was a teenager in this era, I couldn't place some of the references from the icons. I wasn't even cool when I was slightly cool.

I'm kinda torn with this one. I like games like these a lot. I enjoyed this one, but it didn't exactly hit the soft spot for these games that I have like others do. I go back and forth between "really liking" this game and just "liking it". I think it's a cool little thing that people should play.

*Score isn't an actual review score. Just a representation of how I feel right after playing. I don't plan on reviewing this game.
