I've seen a lot of "story told in a phone UI" games at this point, but doing it in a hook up app is a nice touch. Appreciated the physicality of forcing the player to actually type in all of the player character's messages.
A lot of the characterization is pretty basic, for the main characters as much as extras, and it largely doesn't feel like it landed for me.
I see what it was going for, but I don't think the story really gelled. I can't tell if I got the real ending or if it just glitched out, because the final fade out for a story scene seemed to just end without a real conclusion or thematic throughline.
