Dates & Wires: Augmented Edition

From the perspective of a veteran goth, the character writing is hilariously, heartwarmingly real. If you recognize the logo on Dan's hoodie, you should own this. If you own any album published by Wax Trax!, you should own this. If you've ever read an issue of 2600 and wanted to date one of the writers, you should own this. This is the 90s cyberpunk nerd dating simulator you didn't know you needed. Buy it. Cherish it.

This game is absolutely charming! Such clever and witty dialogue set in a cyberpunk alternative reality where you get to smooch and/or cuddle up with some intersting characteres! This is one of the more creative dating sims I've played, with varying ways to get to know different characters that lead to suprising and silly outcomes. Including some platonic ends! This game is incredibly whomesome please give it a go!

I feel like there's too many good points to narrow down into a review, I just really enjoyed myself :D

I wish I could say I was surprised at the lengths that the MC went for a hookup but honestly, nah I'm not and I've done worse. I loved how intricate the script was with the order of dates really having an effect on later dates had in each playthrough. Also, laughed my ass off at both the ballpit in the "Super VIP room" and at Fixer staring out the window as I picked up Yegor for a date.

Going from "oh myyyy~" to "oh my god that's so f'ed up" in the space of 24 (virtual) hours... A+!!!

this is a delightful little game!! played the itch.io version first and loved it, bought this version and loved it!!! Very attentive developer(s) who seems always up to help if you have a question or issue! Peak game, Peak devs, and peak comic so far!!
