Let's see how bad Dani's programming "skills" can fuck up a VN.

She will somehow manage to make a VN that runs at 10fps.

I was wondering about the status of the struggling singles and decided to have a look. There is a countdown to something on the game's twitter since mid march, still bashing Keaton and some thirstrambling about his mom.
This is Keaton's mom btw:
I get that they are trying the MILF angle of hers, but I feel that something is off about her (as most of the cast), maybe the squared jaw, kinda like she is a man... And this is a peeve of mine, but how she is holding the glass bothers me a lot!

If Dani had any brains, the MILF would have been an mail-order bride from northern Africa or something.
Idk, there's something off about the dress, too.

But Keaton's white. I don't get it. She does not look like a white woman. Has she met any real Italian women? If she was going for Long Island Angela look she missed the mark a bit.
It looks like liquid or metal. Like some kind of alien cyborg morph suit. It could just turn into anyone's skin right before your eyes.
The texture is so bad. I'm guessing it's vinyl or something. But for all we know the artist things this is what silk looks like. Upper body is a bit bulky, giving an almost tranny look. If you have wide shoulders stay away from off the shoulder tops. They will make you look like a linebacker.

I think you're reading into it a bit too hard. For this game it's surprising they made an actually attractive character!

Well at least she's not a dumpy gnome like Anoki.

Dunking on Anoki and her creator breakdown was one of the funnest things in the thread, still.

The minds behind this project deserve an award. I mean it, the Chris Chan Award for Achievements in Unintentional Comedy: This shit is so fucking bad that it goes back from annoying and even insulting to hilarious. Considering how shallow the writing seem to be, the many flavors of racism ranging from belittling patronization and uncomfortably closeness to caricatures, to blatant derrogatory expressions, and how unidimensional the characters are: If your character can be summed in a few checkboxes and never goes deeper than that, it's safe to say you're not doing a good fucking job at writing them!
Guys that write shit like this are, without any irony, writing what they know: Identitarianism, pure and simply defining themselves by the flags they carry but never going beyond the flags they carry. Never a deeper thought, never any deeper, mature musings, thinly veiled prejudices and emotionally charged "arguments" that go nowhere. Blind zealotry as a guiding principle, raising no doubt to why their love of censorship is ingrained as it is in their thinking: A single moment of questioning might lead to unfortunate conclusions about the thinkers themselves. Tragic, really, that these people are taken with a single inch too many of seriousness!

If I were to hazard a guess, then it's supposed to be a release countdown. but who is even hyped beyond those like KF who are only watching it to see it crash and burn?

The game releases in August of this year still if the steam date is correct. My money is in Dani releasing a new demo build as a way to create some hype for the game.
EDIT: Looks like it is a new demo going by the messages above.

That looks like tranny gamer's mom, not Keaton's. Look at the face: That's literally just the gamer's face with bags under the eyes.
Also, bets on that not being a woman.

I think that's just the artist being unable to draw more than a couple different faces. It's a common issue, even with non-woke or non-manga artists.

Demo is out.
Oh boy, here I go...
Will be editing in the meantime.
Edit 1: I finished it (it is very short) and oh my God, it is worse than I though! My CPU is throttling in the tittle screen! Dani was not lying when she said the demo was very gay too!
Stay tuned, I am creating some highlights of this train wreck.
Edit 2: Check below, my attempt at gaym reviuos

Well, I am back, this took more than what I expected...
First Impressions:
I noticed that the game is made on Unity, I can not remember anything about the old demo but I thought it was made on Ren'Py (someone correct me please). When I started the game, I was greeted by what I can describe as an attract video composed by heavily modified photos of what I assume will be backgrounds of the game. After that, the madness begins, my CPU went above 50% of usage spiking as far as 100% for brief moments:
MUSIC:
It is not overly offensive but pretty forgettable, sometimes I think the tracks overlap each other in transitions, like the fade out is just too long when changing tracks; also I had the feeling that the music is fighting against itself for a place in the game.
ART:
The character design is very hit and miss. Malik is the most relatable of the bunch followed by Arihi. The other characters dress like a kid with ADD picked up their wardrobe and most of the women look like a man with tits. The backgrounds are just photographs with the crystalize effect from Photoshop to give a vector drawing feeling but it does not look good at all IMO,
GAME:
I increased the text speed in Settings and I found the standard of options for a visual novel, like the screen mode for "windowed" or "full screen", and the screen mode for "all" and "none" (I really do not know what is this for, maybe animations but I really did not notice anything different), there was also a "Controls" tab that shows how to play, mostly one handed
After that, I started the game and here they are, the 3 struggling singles in my area:
Malik,my math teacher from high school if he trooned out Inaya and Isabel
MALIK'S ROUTE:
TRIGER WARNING: HOMOPHOBIA?
Of course I am going with my boy Malik first, so after you select someone, you select your date, here the only one available is Arihi, you can reject him but it really is the only one available.
If you decide to reject him, you default to what I suppose is the select screen for dates on the final release.
After selecting your date, a screen comes up telling you that this is a demo and the full routes will be available after your purchase of the game. After that the title card comes in with who is responsible of writing the chapter and because it is 2022, a Trigger warning for all you faint of the heart
Dani's Magnum Opus!
Here is now the meat of the game, you have this weird narrator that always speaks in a box down center of the screen, here you have your buttons (in the following order) for the log, pause menu (that you can bring up with the "P" key) and what I hope is the Auto Advance button. All the characters speak is in text bubbles that change position and heigh depending if the text overflows, but as I set the speed to instantly the effect looks broken, as if you double clicked and loaded the next line of text. I reduced the speed and it is very distracting still.
The scene starts inside
opeye's; the narrator starts talking how Malik did not bought some diapers and CPS would be involved if he did not send some money to the child's mom. Starting with stereotypes I see! Then Arihi enters the scene as a customer and here is where I got confused because, the narrator box sometimes reads like if one of the characters inner thoughts like Malik thinking to himself how of an asshole Ahiri looks, but then it is again a third person description like "You raise your eyebrow while X".
The scene drags on for a little but it goes like this:
Malik: Welcome, your order please
Arihi: Wait, have not seen menu
Malik: I wait then *flirty face*
Ahiri: thanks for wait me
Malik: *Sassy reaction*
Arihi: Asshole
Malik: then war it is!
Arihi: I better at school.
Malik: You suck dicks
Arihi: I want talk to manager now!
Malik: I manager, fuck you!
Arihi: You hot
Malik: I have the gays
Arihi: and I am having my food
Then comes a crossing path, where Malik can go and take personally the order to the table, or make some other people do the job
INAYA'S ROUTE:
TRIGER WARNING: DRUGS
This route starts in media res, Inaya is onDaniYolanda's apartment and it is amazed at how good it looks and how many books and stuff for smart people is in there. Yolanda invites a smoke to Inaya but she declines, then edibles come into play and no matter what you choose, this scene plays the same but it has a different outcome depending what you choose later:
Then here comes another choice:
Sorry, I had replay multiple times the routes to make sure I was not mistakenly skipping stuff so now I want to tag out. I could not finish the last character, this is all I could take of the demo for the time being. the writing is bad, the characters are not deep and for a visual novel it hogs resources like it is rendering a lot of 3D. Besides I spent most of my night time writing this than what the demo lasted.
Score: 2 / GAY
The Good:
That is all for today I am off to sleep, maybe I will force myself with the last character this weekend. For now, I will end this post with a quote from the game that made me laugh:

I reloaded the game without anything else running in the background to make sure it was not the game, but it really was the game
Not the best processor nowadays, but still gets the job done

And here I am already 2 minutes into the game and Malik is giving Arihi this face:

Then comes a crossing path, where Malik can go and take personally the order to the table, or make some other people do the job
Malik takes a tray with food and notices one of his mixtapes on Arihi's hand while pondering if he should throw it away since he can not remember how he got it, Malik says he gave it to him by putting it on his pocket and Arihi jokes about that, then Malik decides to sit and eat with him WHILE ON THE JOB (sorry, since he is the manager he decides when to have a break) the same food he just served as a way to break the ice, and finally ask for his name and start to know each other better, but now is rush hour and Malik has to go to, Arihi has Malik's phone number on the mixtape for later.
CHAPTER ENDS
CHAPTER ENDS
Malik assumes his position of power and sends a poor soul to deliver the food while he goes to his messy office. Time passes and Malik can not get Arihi off his mind, mixed feelings fill Malik's mind and then he decides that he should ask for this person's name. He does and does some small talk about girlfriends and Arihi's job. But then Malik's dating capabilities are put into question as he scrapes how to deflect Arihi's claims about relationships. Malik then decides to flirt with... A kiss:
Arihi is caught off ward, but he likes it. Another kiss follows (with the same image as before). Malik has to go back to work, Arihi asks for a phone number while Malik says it is on the mixtape he just handed over. Malik then returns to the register. CHAPTER ENDS

INAYA'S ROUTE:
TRIGER WARNING: DRUGS
This route starts in media res, Inaya is on
They both talk about books and gossip from work. Yolanda wants La Kroix and Inaya wants to do a show about Agua Fresca since she is a logger, there is stuff like cute stuff like dogs with bows, baby chickens and girls from Pakistan, and Inaya starts to feel uneasy since Yolanda says that she must go out more frequently, Inaya says that she does not like poetry
logger, there is stuff like cute stuff like dogs with bows, baby chickens and girls from Pakistan, and Inaya starts to feel uneasy since Yolanda says that she must go out more frequently, Inaya says that she does not like poetryThen here comes another choice:
Inaya pretends to not hear a jab Yolanda does about the poetry as a tease. Yolanda deprecates herself about how bad is her poetry, the edibles are starting to get into action as some chit chat happens while Yolanda's hand is between the sofa, Inaya approach and contemplates the situation with some mouth to mouth action
Inaya then pushesDani Yolanda away roughtly as she is regretting kissing Yolanda, takes her phone and leaves. while waiting for Yolanda to catch her on the streets. But that never happens.
CHAPTER ENDS
Inaya then pushes
CHAPTER ENDS
Inaya apologizes about shouting out loud something from room to room about poetry, Yolanda response is that she is just teasing and that she knows she is bad at poetry and terrible with her emotions. Yolanda's hand is between the sofa, Inaya approach and contemplates the situation with some mouth to mouth action
Inaya then pushesDani Yolanda away as she is regretting kissing Yolanda, puts the blame on Alex. Yolanda comforts Inaya telling her that it is all good while craking jokes at Inaya's expense. They are already stoned and decided to just continue to be friends.
CHAPTER ENDS
(The ending screen says half a gummie even if you eat the whole thing, I double checked)
Inaya then pushes

Score: 2 / GAY
The Good:
- It is a short demo
- More cohesive art style between characters, still ugly though
- You can not fast scroll in the game, no matter how many times you click the mouse or hit the space bar, the text struggles to catch up because it has to render all words of the speech bubble before loading the next sentence, also the key dedicated for that task (Left Control Key) did not gave me the impression that it works
- The autoplay function does not work at all, at least for me
- There is no way to quick save or quick load the game.
- To save or load from a slot in game, you need to bring up the pause menu, then select Options and then choose "Save Select".
- Besides starting in media res, sometimes I lost myself to the exposition thanks to the UI changing the sizes of the bubbles.
- If you want to see the log, you have to wait for the narrator's box to show up, you can not call it up while the characters are talking as far as I know...
- ...and sometimes the log is badly formatted that it is hard to tell who says what.
- ...and it stops registering the text at random points
- The music is forgettable
- There is no sound effects at all, not even beeps when the words appear on screen.
- The UI it is not the worst I have ever seen but could be more polished in the gameplay sections (speech bubbles)
- I forgot to close the game while writing this and my PC came to a crawl
- I spend 2 hours of my life writing this that I will not get back
That is all for today I am off to sleep, maybe I will force myself with the last character this weekend. For now, I will end this post with a quote from the game that made me laugh:

I think I like the art style, it's just the ugly characters
