Lucy and Adam, against the world. Just like it should be. Never forget that, okay? :) 8.5/101 found this helpful
Almost an hour in and the game has been nothing by constant amount of typing - not great for someone with dyslexia. Game has no quality of life/accessibility, so just blocks me out from any enjoyment.

Game is too hard for me and difficult to understand.
Buddy Simulator is a game that feels tailor made for someone like me, who has messed up friendships without even realizing I was the one doing something wrong until it was too late. This game came to my at a time in my life when I desperately needed it and taught me a important lesson about moving on from past friendships without desperately trying to fix them or get them back. Buddy Simulator is my special little game. The game that changed my life. A game that is criminally underrated, but in some ways I appreciate that because of how dearly I hold this game and could not bear to see certain takes on it if it got more popular. All of the characters are funny and great to talk to, while Buddy is a very in depth and interesting character to look into, especially on repeat playthroughs and optional dialogue. (the reason for low playtime on steam is because I mostly played it on Switch). The music is also so amazing and really hits that nostalgic feel while later on feeling very complimentary to the intended feeling you are supposed to have late-game. Everything about feels so personal and emotional and to me, makes it that much more special.
I think it's a decent and fun game, but you have to be into that post-2019 YouTube analogue + old tech horror niche to really find it scary. Another reviewer mentioned KinitoPet, and although Buddy Simulator released earlier, employs the same kind of scares. I didn't really get any horror experience out of this as a result - I thought it was a bit corny even. But still enjoyable nonetheless! Also, I really don't understand the comparisons to Undertale outside of UI and visual choice? I love UT but Buddy Simulator is very clearly it's own thing, don't go into it expecting it to be anything like it...
