Got the flu for the last few days and just decided to return to this game for an easy time. Just a goofy little party game/dating sim. Aggressively horny and drug-filled, but that's kind of the point. The mechanics are styled like the Yawhg. You are given a random event and a prompt to respond to. Each option is tied to a specific stat. Succeeding a prompt just involves a general stat check. Succeeding the stat gets you a stat boost and a heart towards whatever character the game thinks you're trying to romance. Failing means a stat cost and... still a heart, but not as many heart points as you would have gotten. If you're on a secret ending route, the path ends immediately and you're thrust

Most of the default endings/secret endings are just taking the already absurd antics to new heights, but sometimes a route will decide to dive into some surprising heart for a game this intentionally stupid. The Support Group and Ice Queen routes are specifically designed to fail. Your stat checks will never succeed, you can't force yourself into these people's lives. Your charming antics become stalking and you're just making the characters uncomfortable. They can only end with the player going "well fuck, I'm being a real asshole, I'll give them some space." And there's something very sincere in that. Other dating vns have deconstructed the premise of this genre before, perhaps with more subtlety, but I did admire the game for being willing to drop its seemingly unapologetic horniness to be like "hey man, this shit has to be consensual, y'know?" A fun little thing.
