As someone in their late twenties, I think I'm a bit too old to be this game's target audience but it's short and charming and I think if you spend a lot of time online and/or in fandom spaces, you'll get a kick from this
I will say though - the title screen is presented like a computer desktop with icons. So instead of text saying Load Game, you have a desktop icon that says Memories or something. I found this kinda confusing and I almost gave up on the game before I had even played it because I initially didn't realize how to start

This review contains spoilers
forgot to make a review for this bleh
+ really cute art style, micah's design is absolutely adorable
+ the ui is really cool!
+ the music was very chill and nice
? / - the choice of names are too little, none of my very normal names (i have 6 names btw) were on the list, which didn't really matter cuz i made the decision to turn the voice acting off
? / - VERY SHORT, as it took me 15 minutes to finish the game, however it IS free and the art is really high quality
- the voice acting was ... i didn't like it. it didn't suit the character's appearance, it made the already awkward dialogue extra cringy, and the song he sang was ULTRA cringy, and with the voice acting turned off it made it feel like it kept going on on and on forever
- speaking of dialogue, to me the way the characters speak and the options that are given to the player has made me think the target audience for this game was 13-17 year old gay kids, which is not a bad thing, but as a 21 yr old who hasn't been on social media properly for the last 3 years or so has made me feel disconnected from the character. because of this i also could not relate to the choices given to the player character; both micah and the player are expected to be quirky, going along with the flow, and not doing so gives you the not-that-good unrequited love ending
- although i had tips on i really struggled with the hangman puzzles.
while my negatives outweight the positives i gave it a 4 star bc micah is cute and i would join his minecraft server to lurk

dialogue made me drag nails across my face in genuine embarassment at times, maybe I'm just not the target audience? It's decently made for a free renpy game and I give it much props for that. it's very much an emulation of the discord e-dating experience and i don't know why people would willingly seek that out from a game. Micah is a little endearing though.
