Written by moi, my friend Philbert, and Oh hi Mark.
When I had originally bought the game, I was expecting something more childish.
The cover had an anime girl on it, dressed in a maid outfit since it was some totally kawaii cafe game where you could date the people who came in. Sure, there was no crediting to the makers of the game but I thought they were just ashamed of what they made and didn’t credit themselves, but it seemed cute and It’d been a while since I had played any sort of dating sim.
Once the game had been popped into my gaming console, it wasted no time getting to the game itself. Convenience at its best.
A loud, high-pitched song blared from my speakers into the room, the lyrics unintelligible and garbled up. The starting screen had the main character who I’d most likely play as holding a tray of food of all sorts of weird colors and varieties.
“Damn!” I shouted, covering one of my ears and struggling to grab my remote to turn the TV down. Knowing me, the remote was missing somewhere. How could I be so clumsy? Leaving the remote and not remembering where it was put!
Still annoyed by my own idiocy, I searched through my apartment for the remote. Anime-garbage music was still filling the whole place. My neighbors would call the police soon enough. I looked through the mess I called my room, my kitchen, my bathroom, but it wasn’t there. I decided, fuck it, and just turned the fucker down manually. I had enough of the brightness too and decided to turn it down a few notches. After that, I went back to playing. Oh, how bad of an idea that was...I started it up and noticed the text was in English, which was good, so I could understand what they were saying. I booted up a new save file𑁋
Wait.
Why was there already a save on here? I bought the game cleaned, no mess. I had absolutely no idea it was there. Deciding to pry a bit, I checked it out. The file, already from the get-go, looked like a total NEET was playing on it before. 10 medals and 9/13 dating routes unlocked. The previous owner’s name was Leone? Huh, weird name, I thought. I went back on my way and loaded their file. I came in and he must have been a huge loser since every girl had something skimpy or loose on. But I noticed something strange.
There was a girl in the back, who wasn’t as “kawaii” as the others. They looked bland and dry, like they had the life drained out of them. I decided to not get involved with such a basic b-tier THOT. I checked out the other hotties, and immediately noticed something. Their eyes...their eyes had cameras for irises. I got freaked and went into the main cafe lobby and looked around. The customers were enjoying their coffee. Everything felt at ease. I was so wrong….
I looked at a single patron, who reminded me of the girl from before, dreary and depressed. I had enough and went over there and decided to investigate. I snapped them around in their chair, and saw they had sweat all over them.
"U-UwU penis?" The girl muttered. Her hyper-realistic eyes dug into my soul and tore it apart, gnawing at my flesh and draining my very being. I screamed, but nothing came out. It felt like my lungs were being sucked into implosion.
And then I came back.
This reminded me of when my mother and father were decapitated in front of my eyes when I was nine and a half years old on November Fifth, 2011, and 9:32 AM EST. I now live with my aunt and uncle and I was so traumatized by the experience that I am now insane and everyone bullies me. Oh and I can talk to ghosts.
Back to the game, after what had happened I just sat there for a few minutes. Everything was normal, the girl was just sitting there, sweaty as she had been before. I didn't know how to react. I decided to keep going, for some reason. I don't know why. I left the girl where she was and searched for other potential dates… But I couldn't focus.
