In mainstream male media, especially in media depicted as traditionally 'Masculine' to young boys, women are often depicted as prizes to be pursued relentlessly, as agents with no free will. Masculinity itself is depicted as attractive to all of these women as a blanket rule, and anything defying this is 'abnormal'. In normalizing both of these things, young boys are taught that they should become very strong or smart and once they do, they are automatically deserving of a woman.

This game represents the social repercussions of that for our female youth, through a jovial tone it reflects a real life representation of how young women are often put in precarious situations due to this corporate media campaign toward young boys. But instead of being from the perspective of those young boys, it is from the perspective of a young woman who has to put up with all their ♥♥♥♥.

This unique lens gives women who have gone through similar experiences a light-hearted sense of empathy as well as some laughs as the game takes great strides to not take itself seriously. It also gives men who may have not personally experienced it from either side a glimpse of how the hectic life of a teenage girl might've felt in many uncomfortable situations they were forced into and the mindsets and coping mechanics they might have had for the situation.

This game is realistic enough that you can understand its messaging, but never takes itself seriously enough for its dark tones to noticeably weigh down the play experience. I got all of the endings in 4 hours, and I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the game and story except the relatively dated UI. Great game, would recommend if you have some time to kill and don't mind relatively dark topics in a humorous game.
