Funny lil concept that manages a few laughs but honestly you might be better off just watching someone else play.

Me, as a person who laughs way to much at his own jokes, had a blast with the game with the stupid doodles I wrote. I'm not giving it a higher score because the part I most enjoyed about the experience was, indeed, my own jokes.

I should NOT have made the drawing my crush bro I did NOT have it in me to get gay married and gay divorced all in the same 30 minutes.

Really barebones and really eh, I wish the drawing wasn't as restrictive without even so much as an undo button, nor any variable brush sizes, etc. In addition, there are hardly any drawing prompts beyond your date, and one of them (as far as I know) never actually gets used.

The choices don't seem to actually matter much (outside are you gonna go with Claire or Sketchy) and no ending is a good ending.

I'll give you exactly one guess as to who I drew but while it was a sketch of her and not actually her it felt weird seeing a drawing of someone with a history say that they have no history. It was fun to draw more of her and I'm proud of some of them but the restrictive tools kept her from being as lovely as she is when I draw her myself.

As a visual novel this blows. Middle schoolers write better than this.

"hahaha i love u so much artist!" turns to the camera "I am a product of your hand and therefore lack individuality as a living being" turns back to you "hahaha you're so perfect, we should have steamy obsequious sex!! turns to the camera again "my autonomy is bound to the control you have over me and my world"

But as a jackbox-core vehicle for inane humor? Goddamn.

Complete highlight of the experience was getting to draw baby nonbinary lesbian peter griffin, then suffering a dreadful fate by their blade. A version of this played completely straight with more opportunities for shitpost moments would be completely up my alley.
