Signed and Sealed With a Kiss

I found the premise of this game interesting enough to give it a try. You get an order of a build-a-bear oh wait, I meant build a boyfriend lol. I wanted to see if you could let the boyfriend from a box become his own person without your influence. And well...sort of. I have to say the dialogues were very cringe worthy and a lot of it just didn't sit right with me at all. The main character is not customizable at all and is on top of that very unlikeable. The boyfriend seems somewhat okay but there are moments their relationship made me super uneasy. Especially before the finale where the boyfriend has a defect and has mood swings. The artwork is either a hit or a miss, the in game unlockable screens are pretty cute but the sprites themself could be better. But alas, art is subjective anyways. Overall, this dating sim doesn't really have a deep story as you might think, a lot of it is just grinding and building skills and money and what not. The most interesting "personas" were supposed to be released with the DLC that just never launched. The developer also doesn't seem to be active anymore. Kinda wish they would have at least put an explanation for their reasonings. According to …

Less than 20 minutes of playtime and requested a refund. I should have listened to the reviews warning that the MC was toxic and terrible. They really are. It reads like an angsty 14 year old, and they're downright rude. I don't want to be involved in a story where I'm forced to represent a character like that.

They're Liars

i got one of the good endings and the story was alright, but the main character is like crazy hesitant about everything. i wish there were more options to gun towards romance rather than dancing around everything and allow it to feel more personal, it feels like the main character isnt really *you*, if that makes sense

I followed this game from itch.io and knew it would be worthwhile to support before it was finished!! from the demo to where it is now i can say i really enjoy this game and it is a great price point

While this made me think of the J-drama Absolute Boyfriend, it does have some bits and parts of what I remember from the series. Apart from that, there were a few typos reading through the hours I’ve been playing. When playing on my steamdeck, beginning of the game it somewhere freezes up not going to the next line of text and couldn’t continue forcing to close the game, but plays normally when I go to desktop mode. It’s my first run, I can’t say that I like the MC on some parts of the things she saids or thinks, but the game as far as I can tell is good in my opinion.
