Early on I took a joke option and was quickly scolded by the dev for choosing it. "I spent a year working on this game! Go back in and play it some more!" It's mentioned a couple of other times here and there, and by the end, I became painfully aware of the game's purpose for existing: it's an unfunny gag with good art, and a couple of well-worn platitudes for good measure. The visuals have a year's effort put into them, the dialogue much less so. I'm being soft here: the dialogue fucking sucks ass. It's a 50/50 split of buzzwords and cheap sentiments, and my first thought was that I wished the dev spent more than a year working on it. Then I realized that had they done that, the buzzwords would be even more outdated than they are now. So I'll cut it off here and end it with this: good art, bad everything else. Fuck off.

She told me to close my eyes. A moment later, she was gone as if she were a dream or an illusion. It's truly baffling how opportunity can escape one's field of vision in a hearbeat. NEET Girl Date Night explores the depth of the human psyche, asking us how we perceive the world around us and whether or not we believe it's worth fighting for. Kara serves as a foil to our protagonist, her NEET nature boldly contrasting with MC's outgoing personality. The moral dilemmas NEET Girl Date Night throws at the player are bold to say the least, and it goes to great lengths to show us how low we as a species can get. In this internet era where clout chasing is running rampant it's refreshing to see characters that serve to deconstruct this hellish hellscape we have backed ourselves into. Like most classics, I strongly believe NEET Girl Date Night will be studied and analyzed for years to come. It is to Gen Z what Umineko Chiru was to Millennials; a life-changing, earth shattering, sky piercing monument to the human spirit and our willingness to keep pushing forward towards our dreams.

Too bad the game sucks ass.
