Jake's Love Story

Jake's Love Story is a Visual Novel with multiple endings. I don't think I've ever played this rushed of a project before. The whole thing took me less than an hour to read, all 9 endings included. I did not skip a single dialogue. The game constantly timelapses to a point it gets annoying, sometimes you are prompted with 'a few days later,' you get 4-5 more one-liners from a character and you're already prompted with another 'the next day.' This game lacks content like crazy, the characters are not very interesting and there's an immersion breaking '4th wall joke' every few minutes... The endings are super similar to one another, all of them are rushed and you feel absolutely no emotions for playing this game. This isn't a romantic or dramatic love story, it's just teenagers going to prom together because they get along well. The backgrounds are nice, but the characters art is subpar. The music is not very good either. The writing is stiff and emotionless. Honestly I did not enjoy any of it, the whole experience was pretty boring... it's just endless chitchats and empty blabbering. Overall, a disappointing and extremely short visual novel.

[u][b]Jake's Love Story[/b][/u] is a lackluster, poor-quality, and extremely short slice-of-life visual novel which takes place over the course of three years in a high school based on the Polish school system pre-2019. The story follows four characters who, surprisingly, aren't exact copies of the stereotypical tropes that you'd find in most visual novels which is pleasantly refreshing but unfortunately not redeeming enough to save the game by any means. Overall, I don't recommend it because it's a subpar and amateurish game that doesn't do anything well at all, except maybe draw a few chuckles from you with some of the dialogue options, and isn't worth your time compared to any number of other visual novels which are higher in quality, have a meaningful message (or a message altogether), are thought-provoking, or are frankly just more enjoyable.

great game. BUT. you cannot get with mike. which is very sad. trying to get with mike just makes you alone. very sad.

Weird art style aside, an even stranger love story awaits.

Good game but honestly preposterous there is no mike route. You cannot look me in the eye and deny that jake and mike are in a gay relationship

I bought this because it was on sale, cost 99 cents. Thought I give it try and oh boy I laugh so hard on my first playthrough for 30 mins. After a while it gets boring and cringe, kept telling myself on repeat, "omg why did I buy this game?" Really goes to show, a lesson for me, never buy games just because its cheap.
