Made this within the 2 weeks for the NG Mobile Jam 2022 using LibGDX. I have a full-time job, so this was all during my spare time. It was fun, but I would've liked to do more. :)

having trouble figuring out hidden values.
it seems if you pick the 3rd option during the scene with the patient (regardless of your other choices), you completely skip the last scene where you're asked to go home, and get locked into the drunk ending.

leaving this here for future reference:
it seems to get the "secret ending", you need to ignore the patient (second option) and try to go for the good ending.
if done correctly, an extra scene comes up that branches into the secret ending path right before the good ending epilogue.

again, i'm not sure how each choice actually affects the final values, but i managed to get it by picking choices 2-2-1, then all 1 on the date.

also kinda funny, but if you trigger the secret path, pick it, but on the last choice don't commit to it, the dialogue says 0_drunk_ending.json, and then the game freezes on that last scene instead of booting you back to the main menu

Hey!

The way the choices work in the game isn't very obvious. Although you might be on the same scene you were on for a previous run, because you made different decisions earlier, you might have something different happen to you. E.g. You will never get the phone call during the date if you listened to the patient explain their dream earlier in the day.

Thanks a lot for playing (and finding a bug)! I'm glad you explored it to such a great extent! :)

Nice, only one medal left, but I have no idea what it could be.

BobbertOC responds:

If you really want it, DM me about which one you need and I can tell you how to get it! :)

Thanks for playing

The first few times I played, I kept getting the ending where the bomb blew up after my date and I left, and I thought the joke was that it was the only ending - even though that didn't end up being the case, I still got a really good laugh out of it. That said, there were a few places where, as far as I could tell, your choices didn't make a difference (Ie what you say to the guy in the beginning, or taking a nap vs. powering through). Seeing some adjustments there would be cool. That, and if you rotate your phone, the images would stretch out; it'd be nice for them to resize based on screen ratio. All in all though, you've got a decent framework for whatever comes next!

== Decent sim, could use some better presentation ==
Score: 7 | Critic Review

It's a fairly decent visual novel. It's easy to make them work in mobile. You only need buttons on the screen to move the story along.

The 'Lots of them' theme should tie into the multiple endings
