I remember first seeing this game going around on Tiktok and was really intrigued. The art looked great and the voice acting was even better. I followed the creator, but didn’t keep tabs on it too much. So when I was checking the app store today and saw a familiar name and character show up, I was surprised that it was already out! I was going to get it on Steam, but since I was already on my phone, I thought I might as well download it on here. And I’m so glad I did! This is probably the cutest dating sim I’ve played. Micah has quickly become one of my favorite love interests. The dialogue between him and the player character is just top notch entertaining, and I wish I had someone I could talk to like this. Not gonna lie, I was a bit sad at how short the game was, but after checking the creator’s Ko-Fi page, I’m hopeful that there’s more to come in the future. ☺️

Problematic things about Jenny aside, this is my honest rating. The character, the computer desktop-ish window/icons, the character’s appearance is very nice and well-made, Micah’s playful personality is well, my type. But the thing is, the relationship progress between the character we are controlling and Micah is pretty rushed, a week isn’t enough for developing any kind of ‘enemies to lovers’ trope thing at all, it just feels like we are forced to liking him. And even though I like cheesy guys, this man is a bit too cheesy, it kinda feels….off. The bad ending, where our character set boundaries, AND THE ONLY NORMAL ENDING, is the bad ending??? I’d rather let our character be straight up rude and Micah ended up losing interest considered as the bad ending, so the bad ending does not deserve to be the “bad ending.” I think it deserved to be in the beginning of the game already. Set up boundaries since we and Micah, ARE HACKER ENEMIES. Then we can try and make the relationship slow burning, I feel like extending the days for a bit, then it feels like actual “enemies to lovers”.

I love Micah’s personality so much. I love the concept of this game and I watched so many of your tiktoks advertising this game before this game came out but this game really isn’t rivals to lovers. They seem to be flirty arguing right out of the gate. The secret ending is them getting married after barely knowing each other and they have an instant connection and flirtation, the good ending ends up with Micah coming to visit our character after a week for a date, and the bad ending is the listener just setting boundaries with someone who they just met, who instantly starts flirting with them. While I recognize this is a kind of a dating sim, a week is not enough to make a enemies/rivals to lovers and there was no rivalry at all. The first few moments of their interaction is all we get and then it’s just a straight shot to lovers with no banter or rivalry to see. Again I do enjoy this game and I really like Micah but this game was advertised as rivals to lovers and it wasn’t that at all. Perhaps when you add more days, you can add days in between the days you already have to actually build the game to be what it’s advertised as.
