It honestly does seem like a game for teenagers and people a little bit older. Seeing 30+ year old people calling this best shit ever that made them heckin cry is nuts.
 
Ferris Bueller's Wank Off.

:edit:
Just to add some more thoughts without getting into too much detail, the game strikes me as fundamentally wrongheaded, like it's just conceptually at odds with itself.

Let's make one of those quirky 80s teen comedy/coming-of-age movies!
But it's set in the late 90s!
With writing that adheres to the sensibilities of the 2020s!
And it's also not a movie but a game but also not really because it should feel like a movie!
And the art direction shouldn't reflect the aesthetics of any of the previously mentioned ideas but rather just look vaguely, blandly "indie"!

I mean, at some point in the conceptual stage you should just take a sobering look at the pile of mismatched themes and concepts you've thrown on the table, and just face that fact that it won't come together to form a satisfying, cohesive whole.

What really puzzles me, considering all of daddy's money the kike sow has access to, why not just make it into an animated movie?

The game has no gameplay. Why not just turn it into a movie and call it a day?

I watched a playthrough of the game today. It is surprisingly not woke but oozing vibes that it was made by and for retarded lefties to gawk at.
Continues the awesome trend of featuring a group of "friends" that are nasty assholes to each other. Not nearly as bad as Dustborn, but the blonde one, Stacey, is just such an annoying jerk and it seems she doesn't even learn anything from it by the end of the story.

It has that modern "safe edgy" vibe that I loathe. The kids constantly yelling "fuck" and acting like they're hard shit. Like, I could feel the reddit-ness of it all, people who think they're hardcore but would probably stroke out in real life if they heard a gay person say "fag".

the thing is, channeling a secular, mystery meat, upper middle class family in the eastern seaboard patterned after stephen spielberg movies is channeling JEWISH CULTURE. The whole rodney dangerfield borscht belt comedy schtick is just being jewish. I think this game being so fucking unpalatable to everyone despite being put on a pedestal so hard should kind of make it pretty fucking obvious. safe edgy is almost always an attempt to violate christian morality without violating jewish morality. its not like this shit wasn't the whole moral of the crucifixion or anything

I couldn't really care less about this game other than having a bit of fun watching it bomb, but there's one thing that absolutely pisses me off: The headphones one of the main characters wears all the time. They're clearly Koss Porta Pros (apparently first introduced in 1984, so actually relevant unlike a ton of other things in the game apparently), but they're backwards. RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE

This chick's whole thing is wanting to be a "music supervisor" and assemble soundtracks. Not only does she need to explain her reason for picking each song, but she can't even listen to them properly.

According to this, they were able to secure music licenses “in perpetuity,” so do not expect this game to be delisted anytime soon. Music is subjective, but the music selection to me isn’t good.

So everyone is going to be stuck with this steaming pile of shit for eternity. Here's hoping it falls off a cliff.

It feels like a preschooler's television show, but more condescending.

If they heard what people were saying back then, they would have had an aneurysm. Hell, looking at punk archives from the 70s to 90s would have made them explode.

Like the same stupid game said grunge is overrated when you have Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains and many more; nope.

This "game" is pretentious and faggy as is. Gonna be the next Dustborn; forgotten in a few months. And that's nice.

I can recall, Gone Home and Stray, got similar treatment by journos, calling it the greatest thing since Pong.

I liked Stray, my hurt feelings. Mixtape looks super AIDS gay.

I liked Stray, too. If you set aside the story, it's still a game. It requires player interaction to progress. Checked my Steam library and I got a solid 13.3 hours out of it. That's more than quadruple the length of Mixtape.

I was just going to post about Dustborn. So, I watched Mixtape today but I desired more brain damage so I rewatched a playthrough of Dustborn again for like the 3rd time now (I have a penchant for second-screening cringe).
Seriously, check out Dustborn again, it really is so fucking awful. The overbearing politics are complete misery and every single character is insufferable.

I have to lend it to Mixtape, I at least kind of digged the hispanic guy, Slater. The whole story focuses on the two girls being melodramatic retards, but he genuinely tries to be bittersweetly supportive while facing down his best friend moving away for an indefinite amount of time.
I hate who Mixtape is obviously pandering to, but Dustborn is genuinely propaganda pushing "fuck whitey" at every step.

But oh well, here we are. They could have simply not paid for 6 gorillian 10/10 critic scores and the story fags could enjoy the game quietly without all this drama. But instead they very well may be kicking off goobergate 3.0.
 
The way the main girl intros the songs reminds me of Patrick Bateman, but he did it as a way for the writer to mock how pretentious doing that was.

Most games, even indie games, get some public money in the form of art grants and tax credits. It's partially why Montreal and the province of Quebec is basically one of the main epicenters of gaming.

And the sooner that stops, the better. They are not required to appeal to a paying audience; they are trained to appeal to the apparatchiks who distribute "art grants." This is not developing a private industry; this farms and trains parasites.

It's a pity the man just gave up on being the Western Kojima and just started shitting out walking sims.

Yeah, about Kojima and walking sims... You should probably sit down because I have some bad news for you in that department.
