despite all the negative comments I've read, I still think it is a wonderful game. Love the art, the symbolism to real life situations involving online communities and LOVE ZILAS! Keep working hard girl! <3
Не считаю что использование шокирующего контента что-то плохое, но соглашусь со мнение большинства: все это не имеет никаких предпосылок поэтому оставляет просто в недоумении. Было бы отлично если бы взяли бы хотя бы часть игры до начала булинга мгг и дальше развили каким-то адекватным способом. Хотя бы выделив на подводку к шок контенту какое-то время, чтобы игрок мог начать что-то такое подозревать.
I don't know if you have adressed the critism, but please read those who are criticising your game and do something about it. Encouraging your younger fans who looks up to you to bot reviews to make your character come back to life is weird. Using s#icide to bait ratings,to use as a cheap gimmick.. I hope you take other people who has criticised you before me well and do better to improve.
Absolute waste of time game. Had potential and a likeable character as well as likeable concept but failed miserably at providing any sort of satisfaction even after a day was completed. Either ending made absolutely no sense and was only a cheap horror gag, if even. I hope this game is rage bait and not actual content because I pray for your future game developing career if this is the best you can come up with. And it surely isn't, developer has made another amazing dating sim that actually touches upon dark concepts in actual meaning without being complete boredom and garbage. I'm not one to make hate comments but this game needs some serious work and revision if it's actually intended to be enjoyable.
I don't know... I read the content warnings and don't have any particular triggers surrounding suicide and it was still awful. One minute the game is happy, then suddenly it shows him kill himself. With no warning or foreshadowing in the story leading up to it, it's not only bad writing, but jarring and disturbing.
That’s how I feel about this too. I can handle dark topics and horror movies but this was presented in such a terrible fashion as this game was shown as something more comfy.
I played this when it DIDN’T have trigger warnings and didn’t come off as horror. Trigger warnings need to be shown up front. Even when I see any type of talk about this game, people don’t say it’s horror, WHICH IS IMPORTANT. When I got to the end of the suicide ending I was pissed because it wasted my time. Like, I’m still mad whenever I come across anything related to this game.
The other person was passive aggressive af. “I’m sorry you feel that way…” Well how about you learn what a real apology is, please and thank you.
Since you asked, when you say “I’m sorry” in both of your comments that phrase comes off as being used as a buffer for wanting to say something condescending and passive aggressive. The tone in your comments still try to make them out to be as if they are in the wrong to be upset and an “apology” doesn’t automatically debuff that.
So if you want to apologize with sentiments along “I’m sorry you feel that way,” don’t, because that is a non-apology. An apology comes from recognizing WHY someone is upset, acknowledging something upsetting did happen without putting the other person down, and not trying to come off as mean-spirited about it.
Even in your comment to me, there is still the tone of trying to absolve responsibility for the tone and words used because you “don’t know what it’s like” and claim ignorance. I suggest reading through the other reviews without any intention to criticize the words of dissatisfaction from others or defend the game and try to see it from their perspective and even replace those triggers with something else that upsets you to see if you can relate. If you want to still play the “I don’t get it” card, that’s something you need to work on yourself, not some random person on itch should be teaching you.
I can understand that you have a different opinion than me and I'm sorry if my initial response offended you in any way. You deserve a much better apology than the one I previously provided, which was very inconsiderate and condescending. Your opinion is completely valid and I respect what you think about the game. When I first responded to you, I was rather insensitive and didn't think much about what kind of effect the sudden display of suicide would have on other people because I am not affected by it much, and because I believed that a trigger warning would be enough. However, I recognize that not everyone responds the same way I do about trigger warnings, and that there wasn't even a trigger warning for some people who played the game before I did. When I try to think about what it might be like for you, the way you describe it to be bad writing, jarring and disturbing, I can see the flaws in the story that I didn't notice or unintentionally ignored in my first playthrough. I appreciate you responding to me with your thoughts on the game and giving me another perspective that I otherwise wouldn't have imagined.
Mmm... i didn't like it. The story moved way too fast and the endings came out of nowhere without warning or foreshadowing. I usually like horror but they were uncomfortably brutal for no reason.
I actually shed a tear at that one ending, just thinking of the aftermath is sad. But other than that, wonderful art, voice, smooth animation, and good story.👍
ending made me so confused honestly its pretty wholesome i love the concept and teh gameplay and stuff but the ending doesnt make any sense in my opinion?? huh???????????? please tell me this is a demo im gonna scream.
This doesn't even feel like it's a finished product yknow? I was expecting to go through a whole week, helping him improve his stream. With the content warnings, I was thinking it would've been similar to Needy Streamer Overload in a way? But the endings are too disjointed from the rest of the story. I hope one day the developer might come back and update it despite this being the full release.
I wholeheartedly agree, since they did say this was the full game it almost seems like a cash grab with how rushed everything seems, not to mention how the creator wants to get the game to 5k ratings just for a good ending.
Yeah but it's rate bait though. People are rating just for a good ending and not actually giving feedback. Many people here, including myself, have criticized the game because of this. Although the game was created within two months, it's initial release didn't have any warnings and many gamers had to criticize her for it. Jenny does not care for the well-being of her followers. Although the warnings are there now, there was no need for a graphic suicide scene. This is all just rate bait so she could exploit her followers and have them create alt accounts to give false ratings. A reminder that itch bans accounts for giving/spamming false ratings.
i know and its honestly a shame, not worth it at all. it really had lots of potential at first but jenny decided to ruin it the worst way possible for probably money.
Looks cute with the cover and first interaction however turned dark through the end, Hopefully there's a good ending since It has a greater potential loved it, I hope the full version lives through our expectations.

Вау, автор использует такие грязные приемы для продвижения. Даже не знаю восхищаться этому или презирать их за это.

Someone PLEASE tell me there is a good ending
As of now, no. There's only bad endings and unless you want a good ending, you have to rate the game (it's just rate bait).
What the heck Jenny!!??
I only played it once...
Help i can’t type my name😭
Samee😭
IM CRYING WHAT WAS THAT FOR?? ☹️
Mmm... i didn't like it. The story moved way too fast and the endings came out of nowhere without warning or foreshadowing. I usually like horror but they were uncomfortably brutal for no reason.
I actually shed a tear at that one ending, just thinking of the aftermath is sad. But other than that, wonderful art, voice, smooth animation, and good story.👍

This doesn't even feel like it's a finished product yknow? I was expecting to go through a whole week, helping him improve his stream.

If this happens to still actually be the demo, then it's pretty good! But I think this is the full release which is kinda sad.
I wholeheartedly agree, since they did say this was the full game it almost seems like a cash grab with how rushed everything seems, not to mention how the creator wants to get the game to 5k ratings just for a good ending.
i heard the developer's gonna make a good ending if the reviews hit 5k

Not gonna sugarcoat it
Bad game
right?! I mean I enjoyed it but the endings really just threw me off and made me dislike it. Not what I was expecting at all!
Looks cute with the cover and first interaction however turned dark through the end, Hopefully there's a good ending since It has a greater potential loved it, I hope the full version lives through our expectations.
i thought we helped him
Um what was that ending?? Jenny I will pay for your therapy.
