I loved this game about running a dating app in New York. The writing was great and the atmosphere engrossing. Great job!

My game broke after the second choice because the buttons were still active even though they were invisible. So I could endlessly reduce wages and then raise wages to get unlimited money and happiness.
Otherwise it's a nice concept - resource management with happiness and money. It fits the theme nicely also.
The game has warm feeling to it. A lot of great writing and beautiful art.
I was playing for some time and then it just stuck while my guy was at the meeting with the shareholders! A bit disappointing that there wasn't an ending...
Other than that very nice art and good choices. Maybe it would be ok to see how much a certain choice will cost or pay. Good job!
Oh I loved this. This is one of the few games in LD40 that actually relaxed me - must be the combination of the music, audio, and writing style. Even after I got to $0 and my company went bankrupt, I got a happy ending with a pretty uplifting message. I love it when games do this. Original and beautiful. Congratulations.
Nice little game about true life aspects. Great work !
I'm your biggest fan <3
What a lovely game. On my first playthrough I went bankrupt but had an amazing time and on my second run the game glitched out at the shareholders meeting.
The money values seemed a bit arbitrary and of course the decisions were a bit overly simplified but it served the purpose of telling this wonderful story :)
The unusual aspect ratio was also nice touch, although I would have loved to see more of the beautiful artwork which was covered up most of the time. Well I guess you don't get to enjoy the beautiful things as much when working all the time ;) Oh and the section about loot boxes actually made me laugh :D
Visual and music are great. Game has a good mood. In one moment i just starting watching how moon is moving on the sky and enjoying it :D Joke about loot boxes was perfect. Also, I hooked up by the reference of a Ficght Club. Good job and wish you a good luck!
It's cute! I replayed it and found that I was more entertained by making all the "bad" decisions (picking the "nice" ones came naturally, but the game ended so quickly). Then I think I ran out of story, there was one repeated choice (shareholders' meeting) and then I got stuck, very unhappy and with no more options. Not all that different from a boring job perhaps...
There was some times where the text didn't fit the buttons, and one time I had to scroll down to see the text in a tiny space. Anyway, it's nice to find a game that tells a story.
It's more an interactive story than a game, but it was a good, positive moment, full of love movies poetry. Thank you for that!
really enjoyed the concept (end the realization too) !!
Thank you from all the team for your comments. You're amazing ! :smiley:
