I like this game a LOT. Mainly how it plays and functions. It's extremely simple, but just changing one or two words around and affecting how the narrative goes is extremely fun to play around with. The story it actually told is very basic, but it has a charm to it and it is enganging enough
It is just way too short for it to go all the way with its premise though. It's a really great concept and base for a game, but it feels more like a tech demo than a full experience.
I really want to see this game expanded on more with a similar system. Theres tons of potential here.

I respect the attempt, and it is undeniably interesting to go through different choices and see al the triggers and branches. A neat proof of concept, but held down by writing that is not all that strong.
We should talk é um jogo que trata de emoções humanas e relacionamentos. Possui uma boa premissa, mas acaba fracassando profundamente em transmitir qualquer sentimento genuíno ao jogador, com personagens sem muita personalidade e uma jogatina rápida.
creating the speech is interesting enough and there are 9 endings but its so short and i was not motivated to get any other endings after getting a good one first try. not that interesting
god i hate talking to people
i don't want to, actually
also girl get off your phone you're having a night out

I think I get what they were trying to go for with the texts feeling "legitimate" and not super proper or anything, but ultimately the writing is not very good, none of the characters are very interesting and making up on the spot what to say when you don't feel a role for the character is uninspiring. There are much better titles that do what this tries to do.
I really liked how the dialogue was done and how you could choose so many different ways to talk to the partner and the other characters. I was kinda sad that the game was so short, I deliberately selected the choices slower so I would get some more time in the game, because the soundtrack was absolutely a banger!
I was pretty surprised how much content they managed to pack into the game compared to how short each run was. I guess it's also good to mention that the main character is a queer person, so if that is really important to you, this game is great for that.

Nunca tinha visto antes uma narrativa em que você tivesse tanto controle sobre o que fala. Muitos jogos (especialmente VNs) tentam te dar diversas opções como interação mas nada como We should talk. O jogo te dá a liberdade de montar frases que abrem possibilidades para diversos contextos e significados. Gostei muito da ideia!
Experiência muito boa, mas pode trazer certo desconforto.
Recomendo jogar de fones pra melhor imersão de estar num bar.

Cool, experimental "conversation" type game. I liked how it's possible to structure your responses piecemeal instead of selecting from a list of canned responses. There wasn't always everything that I would want to say, so sometimes it felt like I was being forced down a certain path, but that additional freedom did still help to increase immersion. It's an interesting art piece, but I didn't feel compelled to dig much deeper beyond the one ending.
Unique game that has a lot of different choices you can explore. I liked the text message as dialogue text, added that extra bit of uniqueness to it.
Some pacing issues that potentially don't make any sense given some choices (you can be super sweet to Sam but the drama and acting like there's trouble still happens) but the idea is really novel, and the stylistic setting and soundtrack really put you in the mood to use your arrow keys and answer some dialogue. Hell, I'm still on the title screen while writing this review, it's such a mood.
It's designed to be replayed several times (9 endings in total if you want everything) so you can experience all there is, which is good for a game of this length. I was good to Sam but you can also go with the weirdo of your choosing if you like, but as someone working in teaching myself I related to her struggle and wanted to keep her going.
A nice gem and a good first game for me to play from the Ukraine bundle.

Short but surprisingly lots of routes you can take.
