This Girl Does Not Exist

This game bills itself as a dating simulator, but let's be honest about what this game is. It's a jigsaw puzzle game. I believe it pays lip service to the dating sim genre at one point saying that putting each jigsaw together constitutes a date. After choosing three AI-generated characters and completing one puzzle for each, you discard one. Repeat for the remaining two, then do a final puzzle for the girl who remains. At the end of the last puzzle you reveal the prompt the AI was given to generate the character. Repeat five times to unlock all the prompts. Everything related to the characters is AI-driven, the images, their statements (not really dialogue), and the voices themselves. And it shows. Many of the images suffer from common issues of AI, such as oddly-shaped and mismatched eyes, some eyes having multiple pupils, etc. The voice readings can be very odd in both tone and phrasing (like a deadpan reading of "one of the most interesting things about me is that I'm vegan"). Now, given that it's not really a dating sim or have very developed characters, the question becomes how well this functions as a puzzle game. Unfortunately, there's not much better news here. …

Really great game, i know it was made with an AI. When you think how much work this had taken to make this game this a great result. Cheap price and enough puzzle to solve. There is just one thing i don't understand, why the game tell you everytime when you start a puzzle the tutorial for the controls. But at the end a really great game, when i think it was made by one person it's mind blowing.

It's a jigsaw game. Whoopee, AI made everything involved. It's just a jigsaw game. With the stupidest method of progression. Instead of selecting one of the girls and completing all associated levels with them, you have to pick 3 girls. After completing 2 puzzles each for the 3, you have to drop 1 of them to then do 1 more with the last 2. THEN you drop another girl to complete the final puzzle for the "winner". With 5 girls total, you already start repeating puzzles when you want to complete 2 girls. Then it's practically all repeats just to get to the last puzzle again. What an asinine waste of the player's time. At least the game is generous with piece placement, more so as the puzzles get larger. But the forced completion of repeat puzzles just to see 1 new one later on? Nah, that's not "relaxing", that's "aggravating".

This is truly the definition of slop, was told to play this game to see what ai was capable of and all I saw was how terribly it did everything. I love puzzles, but the pieces were not even rotated or anything. Somehow this game seems like it was both made for toddlers and a depressed 40 year old man.

Fun way to kill a couple of hours 10/10
