Reviews for Get a Life

Pretty Good!

Kinda mechanical, but amusing. Is Vanessa always your soulmate? Here I am, Goth-Emo Boy trying to be a Rock Star, but my soulmate is some chick in a pink blouse, and not Alice?

There's two bugs on the Phone-a-Friend Menu. Jane and Mary's pictures are mixed up and you can keep phoning well into the negative APs. In fact, once you reach negative APs, you never need to sleep.

Whenever a girl is angry with me, they stay angry, even after they fall in love.

While Goth-Emo Boy was studying to be a rock star, some chicks would gain hearts even though he hadn't met them in the game yet. Is that supposed to happen?

This is not really a Dating Sim, since you never go out on a date. Not a lot of romance in mechanically given gifts, Emails, and phone calls.

I speak for half of NG when I say, "We wanna see some cartoon skin!"

Does the male character version operate the same way? You can simplify that part by getting rid of gifts but the booze and figure out how to rub the guy's leg. :)

oh! That's a nice and thorough review. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

Yeah... Vanessa is the de facto soulmate. I thought of various options: random, fixed or complementary soulmate. I chose the fixed options for simplicity reasons because of the complex engine underlying the game.

Oh! I didn't know about the mixed up picture. I used the "phone bug" during testing for obvious reasons and forgot to fix it.

Actually, when a girl is angry, you should be able to fix it provided that you can spoil her with enough gifts (like in real life, huh?) ... Practically, though the amount of gifts required might be too much in some case and there is no way to know that because you don't see the different scores/values.

Yup, a stranger can gain hearts if you increase your reputation and boost some relevant areas of interest. That's normal isn't? I know cuz it happened to me all the time during high school.... All the chicks would totally fall in love with me because of my great body and the fact that I am a real stud. They would call me at any time of days/nights, drop love notes in my locker.... and then I would wake up and it was all a dream.

hehhehehe I gotta you. More skin next time.

ohhhh that's a knowledgeable comment. I may have over-complex-ified the male version of the game. ahahahha that's a great comment actually. It should be:
1- order pizza to go
2- drink booze
3- go out at the pub

Nicely Done

I love that you get to choose your gender in this game! I realize that this may be asking too much, but I'm still waiting for the day that I get to play a dating sim game that lets you choose your sexual preference. I'm sick to death of having to either play as a guy hunting for girls, or (in this case) play as a girl that want to find a boyfriend. I'd like to be gay for once!

Also, I hated the times on this game. Maybe just make it so that it reads '10 AM' or '10 PM'?

Interesting

It was a good game. I had fun going through it but I could not figure out how to make any of it count towards an ending. I did just about everything I was prompted to do. And then there was the "Mad at you" which I didn't understand at all. Besides those points I would have to say it was a great game and wish to better understand it later.
