Finished this in two play sessions - roughly six hours. I enjoyed this game a lot. There's no surprising twists in the story and the 2.5D rpg part started to drag a bit but overall I had plenty of fun.

Really cool game. I didn't hear about it from anyone. I was simply on steam scrolling and Buddy Simulator caught my eye. I was intrigued and decided to purchase it for the very fair price of $10 ($9 on sale).
The game itself is interesting and provides a sense of nostalgia for games similar to it. I get a strong sense that the dev(s) were inspired by Undertale, Doki Doki Literature Club, and Portal just to name a few. I can really feel those games present in this one, and I think it's done nicely and with taste.
The game is fairly short and sweet, though it does drag at times. However, I think the good parts make up for it. This kind of game is what I would call an experience, which is something I can never get enough of, Please give it a try if you like stuff like that at all.
