The person who made this definitely listens to Slaughter Beach, Dog. Got Sweet, But Aloof, and also got weirdly emotional by the mention of a deck of cards. Them feelings be weird.
wow
A short browser visual novel about a couple reminiscing about breaking up. Originally starts with the idea that it’s a regular 10-questions magazine type of quiz, but then quickly turns into a more personal story.
Not the best way I’ve seen a sad story try and use a different method in telling itself, but Answer These 10 Questions wasn’t the worst either. It didn’t have a terrible message, it didn’t have a deep one either. Sometimes people don’t work out and it can be sad, lonely, and regretful. It was a short game that told a short story in a clever-ish way, and that’s pretty much what I expected going in as well. It delivered what it promised with not much more. 2.5 stars.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little emotional at this, but if this were actually a visual novel it'd probably be better
mi spiace ma un'avventura testuale è molto di più di questo
Ouch.
That hit extremely hard
The choice to be just text lets you, the player fill in the blanks. I see all my failed relationships in the game, the slow breakdown of a relationship that should have ended sooner.
That was great

same energy as the time i wasted 1/3 of my time spent so far on this planet. don't feel afraid to tell someone "please stay the fuck out of my life" if you've got to, play this if you want to simulate what it's like to not end up saying that to someone.
that hit hard
I got "Sweet, But Aloof" but i probably should've got something related to the fact that i skipped through half the game, because i have no interest in having a computer game ridicule me for a fictional relationship.
worked for me.
kinda confused why it has all this hate on backloggd lol

shawty b emotionally $tunted !! ;(++/

(nice enough, but didn't grab me)

I could make a joke, but I don't think it's worth it. This is just kind of embarrassing; it feels like a joke—a bad one, but a joke nonetheless. It has this fake-ness that makes it come off like the creator is mocking something, but I think it's just the illusion of trying to be meaningful or a "did it make you think?" type thing.
I really liked this.
Felt a little trapped by the format and "quiz" idea but was pretty emotional and hit close to home with some parts. As someone who has been in toxic/abusive relationships, it felt pretty emotionally honest but, like most emotionally honest pieces of media, it was a bit undeveloped and lacked some finality a more fleshed-out piece might have.
Should've had a content warning though as, clearly from other reviews of this game, it has had a negative mental impact on others and that should always be avoided if possible.

Sometimes, I think I liked the tokens of your love more than I liked loving you.
"Could you really be so cruel?" said the VN.
Fuck off.
Fuck off.
Very cute and very well-written. I love the format. Simple and effective.
YOU GOT: Sweet, But Aloof.
You're thoughtful. You write poetry for your partner, and buy them gifts when the heat gets to be too much. But your self-consciousness can get in the way sometimes; you're too embarrassed to share your poetry, and you go a long time without saying "I love you" out of fear that they won't say it back. Learn to open up. Learn to be vulnerable with another person. Otherwise, how will you ever really love them?

Personality quiz that quickly transforms into competent if somewhat pedestrian breakup writing. Seems like almost everybody gets "sweet but aloof" from the comments I've read?
"Do you want to watch the fireworks?"
It took only seven minutes for this to wreck me. The ending could have been handled a tiny bit better, but I can still easily say this is in my top 10 favorite games of all time.
Edit: I was considering putting this in my GOTY awards, but it is under 30 minutes, so I feel like that is unfair to games this year that maintained a structural cohesion over a much longer playtime.

idk this is kind of just the opening to firewatch but worse also this isn’t how fights between ppl work really like the last time my bf yelled at me was bc I’m anorexic and he called me stupid for that and the last time I yelled at him was bc I accused him of acting how he did four years ago and kind of backsliding but idk today we played two hours of tetris effect while listening to book of mormon soundtrack so like idk bro it’s not that serious come on now

Que pesadelo.
free text-based indie game that does that "you get asked the same question and your response is ignored each time" thing that every free text-based indie game does. i don't hate it but it genuinely felt like a waste of the 5 minutes i spent doing it. not to be rude but i have no earthly idea how this could affect anyone when it feels so vague and nothing. i get what it was trying to go for, but there wasn't nearly enough subversion or intrigue to succeed. i feel like i played a fakedeep buzzfeed quiz.
Y'all are too emotionally damaged.
Way to blow your whole gimmick within 3 clicks. Good thing I have real things to feel bad about instead of this.
this person has 'world peace' as one of their tinder interests
You are allowed to excise toxic people from your life at any time.
