I can dig the Bollywood vibe with all the crazyness going on, but still a hard wait until bargain bin for me

 

[the_master]

I like how original it looks, not sure about the rest

 

[SidViscous]

This animates like a fake-videogame from an MTV music video 20 years ago

 

[SJRB]

How is this terrible and amazing at the same time?

Someone saw the first evil ex from the scott pilgrim movie and said "lets do that!"

Exactly lol

 

[Neff]

Description sounded like the worst thing ever but that was actually a really good trailer.

 

[BadBurger]

It's like Bollywood Scott Pilgrim with some cooking stuff. I may have to try this.

Imagine if in one of these games that references "thirstiness" or everyone being horny the people were actually you know... thirsty and/or horny. I don't need to see nudity but them actually talking like real filthy humans do in private would be a boon to the themes they want to portray.

This way is just weird, like how 15 year olds imagine adults flirt. What I'm saying is someone should make a game where they speak like real filthy young adults (like the dialogue from the classic senior high school/college/uni films).

Still better than volcano high.

It's crazy how much impact corporate PR sensitivity has had on the natural instincts of creatives in the last few decades. It's to the extent that you can pretty much divide all content neatly between 'family friendly' and 'pornography' when it comes to the matter of sex. That huge area in between is now the sole stomping ground of deliberately crass humour in the style of something like Deadpool, where sex is referenced heavily and directly, but only as a gag.

There's a lot of talk online about 'thirst' but actual subject matter is almost always handled vaguely and euphemistically.

Played 30 min.

Bollywood x SJW Scott Pilgrim x Persona

It actually seems competently made for a low budget indie game. Turn based battles with attacks that have decent animations. QTEs work well. Voice acting is cartoonish but fine. Music is slightly interesting.

But ... this is possibly the most brazenly woke game ever made. I think you battle all your male exes in cartoonish Scott Pilgrim fights while telling them why their masculinity is so toxic. And I'm pretty sure based off the voice acting the main one is trans.

I'm almost tempted to keep playing to see how insane this story gets. This might be more extreme than Goodbye Volcano High.

Sounds like it's a short game?

 

[xrnzaaas]

More like Desperate Incels.

I have no idea. I shut down the first boyfriend in 30 min. Then the remaining 6 formed a gang. The trailer also shows skateboarding and cooking. I would guess maybe 5 hrs but no clue.

Oh, when you said 'entertained enough to finish it', I thought you meant the whole game.

Nope. I just did the intro and turned it off.
