I Just Want to be Single!! Season One

Unfortunately can't recommend as dev seems to be at a total standstill. What's here is quality and the conceit is a tonne of fun but the dev went quiet supposedly outside of community posts, socials and discord. In the last official update in December of 2025 post dev assured that they are still working on the game and intended to release a patch in Feburary of 2026 but that it was not a promise. That patch never came and there have been no updates on twitter or community posts since. I will not be joining another discord channel.

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.

I have mixed feelings about this game. It's fun, but, as someone who got this purely due to it being hailed among aspec communities because we're desperate for representation, I feel this really falls short at being representation for aroace communities, for the pure reason that this is set in an all girl's school. If it wasn't described as aroace, it could very easily be misconstrued as "hah I'm the only person who doesn't fancy girls in a school full of lesbians!!!" It would be very easy to misinterpret this as being about a straight person in a wacky gay environment based on the actual contents of the game. Granted, looking back this is rather obvious based on the trailer, so I might have just been an idiot for going along with the hype on social media, but I still feel a bit aspecbaited. Additionally, there is a character who is VERY uncomfortable and rapey, I haven't played the dating sim genre so maybe it's a standard or a really good satire of it, but for me it just makes me really hope we get to kill her. I haven't played this game for a while, so I'll be forgetting details. I haven't been keeping up with development at all, if it progresses then I'll still give this a chan…

abandonware, game has been out for well over a year and has nothing past what the demo offered. i was really looking forward to this game as i conceptually enjoy it but the dev seems to spend more time complaining in their discord than working on the game! i dont want this to be another yansim situation but its sadly not looking too hot

I've had this game for a long time and I just have to say. I understand that the creator may have personal issues but, please at least say you're not going to finish the game anytime soon. I'll change this review when they release the next chapter.

The characters are genuinely charming and knowing that I should only befriend them hurts my little gay heart.
