Aside from the cute-looking visuals, I don't think I can recommend this game, except if you like to repeatedly press the yes, no, and space buttons.

its aight not a whole lot of content and some decisions are rng (which also adds to the difficulty and fun) but i think if this game recieves a bit more love it could be a really solid game.
