for what this game is it is quite amazing. it is small and bare bones but full of heart and emotion. great concept and good quick pick up for those who like narrative games/dialogue heavy games.

Enjoyable little visual novel that has good humor and interesting topics that feels held back by its structure and length. The speed dating aspect feels like an odd fit for the characters they made for the game and pretty much none of it even feels slightly romantic even when its trying to be. For a game called speed dating for ghosts it felt much more like therapy for ghosts. And the interesting part of having to choose a partner at the end of a session gets nullified due to how the game makes it super easy and encourages you to experience the dates with every ghost. You wont even get the last chapter of the game if you don't. I tend to dig short games and stories but almost every characters date and convos tend to feel a bit rushed, it is definitely an enjoyable time but I couldn't help but feel these characters and stories deserved a more natural wrapper and some breathing time.

A game that’s short and sweet and very, very cute, if not just a tad existentially dreadful. When not charming and thought-provoking, however, the game can be a bit dull, but it’s still worth a play if only for how fun a lot of the characters and their concepts are.
