About this game
Lisa, you absolute disaster of a woman. I watched you go from folding laundry in that cramped apartment to... whatever the hell happened in that hotel room with Marcus. The way you typed "just bored lol" while your boyfriend was grinding overtime made my stomach do this weird flip. Not because it was wrong. Because I understood it.
The phone interface thing actually works here, which surprised me. Usually these gimmicks feel like reading someone else's Discord logs while they're in the bathroom. But watching Lisa's typing indicators blink, seeing her delete messages, rewrite them softer... that's the real horror. Not the cheating itself. The tiny betrayals before the big one. There's this moment where she stares at a photo from some guy named Alex for like forty seconds before responding. Forty seconds. I counted. The game doesn't tell you she's doing that, you just notice the timestamp gap and fill in the silence yourself.
The NTR branches aren't even the worst part. It's the NTS stuff that got under my skin, where Lisa's the one pushing, manipulating, treating these guys like collectibles. There's a path where she ghosts Marcus entirely and he keeps messaging "you ok?" for three days straight. I've been Marcus. We've all been Marcus. The parallel storylines thing means you can lose characters permanently, which sounds dramatic but honestly it just feels like real life. People vanish. Conversations die mid-sentence.
The art is inconsistent as hell. Some CGs look like they were traced from a 2014 DeviantArt tutorial, others have this raw intimacy that made me close other tabs. The translation has moments where characters say things like "I am feeling very connection to you" and somehow that broken English makes it hit harder? Like the awkwardness belongs there. One ending just... stops. No resolution. Lisa's profile says "last online 3 months ago" and that's it. I'm still thinking about it.
