Without A Doubt

A rather unique small game. All you do is look at different items on a table while on a date, which triggers your character to start talking about something vaguely related. Gameplay wise, there's nothing much here and you can finish it in one sitting. And I think that's okay. A nice change of pace from many modern "time sink" games. The story and presentation is really what this is all about. The voice acting is excellent thankfully. Some of those line deliveries... you can feel the awkwardness and tension. But there's a playfulness there too. Surprisingly good, in particular for a tiny indie game. I also really liked the visuals. At first I expected an experience more on the spooky side, but it becomes clear that the intention was not so much that. Instead perhaps emulating the nerves of the character. An interesting little game that is worth playing. Especially for only a couple bucks.

I've never been in a relationship before, but if I'm ever at risk of being in one, I will undoubtedly be returning to this for further consultation in its deeper meaning. Oh and its recognition of Armadillophobia.

Neat and quick little game with a clever idea, though it does have a few cons. The controls are clunky and I found it hard to click items, mostly because I wasn't actually sure if the screen was centered. It's also quite short. But it's not a bad game for around £1.43.

Ah man, this really, really hit. It's so interesting how the tensions unfolds through these parallel experiences- the nerves and awkwardness at the start of the first date, the slow unwinding as they open up, the excitement for something that might have potential. This energy moves into the second date as a frustration of a familiar but broken relationship. Very slowly, you feel the inevitable creeping up on you, getting tenser with each interaction, choking up more and more until there really is nothing left to say. And that tension is finally all released with Henry's beautiful ending track. Wowza! Thank you for making and sharing this Ben! <3

This is a really well-written quick “first date / last date” simulator that punches well above its playtime. In my 25-minute playthrough, I was genuinely impressed by how natural and emotionally resonant the story felt. The writing is sharp, believable, and surprisingly moving — I could really feel the characters’ emotions, tension, and vulnerability in such a short time. It perfectly captures that mix of excitement, awkwardness, and quiet intensity that comes with meaningful dates (and breakups). Highly recommended if you want a compact, high-quality narrative experience. Well done to the developers — this one stuck with me.

magic balls man & the ominous armadillo captured the feeling(s) well

Without a doubt, this is quite an enjoyable short game (~30 mins. to beat)... Even though it hurts you by hitting your feelings with how realistic it. The game conveys really well the feeling of awkwardness of a first date or a date gone wrong. It gets very relatable with how the relationship between the characters evolves (or doesn't). It has a lot of details in the dialogue that really feel like a real couple having a conversation. It also helps that the voice acting is pretty good. Be aware that this is basically a 3D Visual Novel. There is no gameplay at all, you just listen to the characters speak, and advance to the next conversation topic by looking at a highlighted object. There are no choices or anything, it's a short linear story. But at least it is good, without a doubt. I also love the sneaky references to the dev's other 2 games: [url=store.steampowered.com/app/3828850/Clean_Break/]Clean Break[/url] (it's free, and I love it) and [url=store.steampowered.com/app/3127710/CONCRETE/]CONCRETE[/url].

Witty, sweet, sad, and humourous. A beautifully written little game that made me feel human. If you've ever been on a date you will see yourself in some part of this.
