I Just Want to be Single!! Season One

I really wanted to believe in this game. The premise alone sold me: an anti-dating sim where the goal isn't to become the harem protagonist. It sounded like a fun, refreshing twist on the visual novel genre. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it in its current state. The game has spent a very long time in development, and as of writing this review, Steam itself warns that the title has not received an update in over a year. Considering this was marketed as an episodic Early Access experience, the lack of progress and communication makes it difficult to justify the price tag. The existing content shows promise, but there simply isn't enough here for me to recommend purchasing it right now. I hesitate to use words like "scam" because I don't know what is happening behind the scenes. I sincerely hope this is a case of development struggles or mismanagement rather than anything malicious. If the developers return with meaningful updates and eventually deliver on their vision, I'll gladly revisit this review and change my recommendation. Until then, unless there has been a significant update around the time you're reading this review, I'd suggest saving your money and waiting to see w…

Since Steam won’t let me get my money back, the least I can do is leave a review. I honestly don’t understand why they let such unfinished games hit the market. Paying full price for an otome game with no complete routes, zero transparency, and no updates on when the content will be released feels like outright deception to me. When you’re making a game for yourself, I get that you’d want to go at your own pace without pressure, but since people have paid for this, the very least you can do is meet basic standards of timeliness—or at least show some courtesy.

IJWTBS is a game I really, really want to see happen. I plan to update my review in the future, but for the time being I need to warn people that it's stuck in development hell and has been for over a year. It's important that you know exactly what you are getting yourself into if you still choose to invest in its potential. The current prologue is incredibly well-done, and showcases just what this can become. However, it also sets an extremely high standard to follow, and so far we're going on a year and a half without any content updates whatsoever. So gather your patience, bide your time and hope for the best.

It's cute but like, you'll be lucky to get an hour out of it at this point. Would've been more satisfied if this was just a demo I played and not a paid experience.

while the part of the game that was released was pretty good and fun, however the game has not been updated in over a year and there is very little content in the game as is and feels more like a free demo than a game that should be paid for.

I still bought the game and supported it, even though I honestly think it feels dead-ish right now. I love the visuals, and the fact that I still bought it like last week says enough. I will watch this game’s career with great interest. I do not want the devs to give up.
