Pom Gets Wi-Fi is a product of it’s time that has aged HORRIBLY with the cringy references. It’s still a very cute game though. I wanted a Pomeranian because I loved Pom so much.
The discussion of Pom being annoying but also written to be unlikable is a very conflicting issue. Infamous cases like Alex YIIK are prime examples of giving too much screentime to the protagonist being an awful person. Most people don’t like watching the protagonist in a story that you’re supposed to root for. Waiting for a character to get better can pay off sometimes… just not in this game.
Everything else is aesthetic eye candy. The sprite art is adorable and the story is simple enough to follow along. There’s some angst every now and then but for the most part it’s a pretty tame story.
Honestly liked Pom more by seeing her as a walking reference talker, rather than a selfish dog who’s addicted to Tumblr. That Garry reference made me scream 5 years ago.
