- Izzatul Husna binti Silahuddin · v1.1.1

- Nicole first mixtape
not fun, I didn't enjoy the story.
- Fatemah Cloudy · v1.1.1
Really fun game! There's so many different scenes and endings and dialogue that it's a little overwhelming. The plot is a little basic, but it's done in such an interesting way.
- E-ZOMICS · v1.1.0
this game is fun as hell
- Funny Haha · v1.1.0
I love the characters! They're fun, likable but not "perfect", and the storyline is interesting. I love the team behind these games. Thank you guys for making these. Games from this team never seem cash-grabby or anything, really just some nice story games with heart in them. Hopefully more games like this will be released :]
- TheBadger · v1.1.0
It's 2025 and y'all still out here making games with dialectical dialogue that no black or brown person would ever use in any way you wrote it. Just because a character is a kebab shop owner or is black doesn't mean you have to force your idea of how they talk into the story. As a black person we don't even sound like that when we use AAVE. I uninstalled from the sheer disappointment and being fed up with y'all still making us caricatures instead of though out characters.
- Sommer Jones
Fun, great graphics, great storylines!
- Sasha A · v1.1.0
slow pace, unusable UI, stilted and unbelievably racist dialogue. don't waste your time.

Great game. I always live to find a good story with interesting characters, so I was happy when playing through this visual novel.
- ImARainbowCookie · v1.1.0
The only story game worth playing. Easily the best story by far, and I have played a lot of these
- Andy Wilson · v1.1.0
Story seems good, art is great, but when I got off the app to do something else and then went back to the story all my progress was deleted and it took me right back to the beginning.
- Cassie Perez · v1.1.0
I did not install this.

This seems like a super cute game. I love story games that I control what happens. Me and this Oober driver are about to be besties. I'm stoked lol 😜 simple gameplay and art style, but visually it's adorable and it has an intriguing story with some fun and unique character personalities. Glad I gave this game a shot, I think everyone should ☺️
- John Danielson · v1.1.0
I think this is worth getting, it has a really great story and honestly... My favorite character is Zoe (the kebab guy). I wish I could have a ending where I could date him or something
- mark got your life · v1.1.0

- katze
Pretty good so far but when I try to load data from the settings button it says Error code empty game data which shouldn't be the case as I've been playing for a bit now and saved a couple times. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it but it was a bit weird.
- Emily · v1.1.0
Really fun
- Iceri Doughty · v1.1.0
It's just weird. Is this even considered a game? I don't think it is
- Michael · v1.1.0
The dialog in this is incredibly racist. Seems it was written by an ignorant 13 year old.
- McCord Cahill · v1.1.0
One of my favorites games from Buff Studio!!
- iMinho18 · v1.1.0
Seems a bit racist. They make black characters on here look & talk "ghetto"
- Let's Play Slots

I tried. The writing is quite poor. Characters are very awkwardly written with stereotypes galore. I just couldn't get into this one.
- Chantelle Brown
I didn't find the story interesting enough to continue after playing and clicking through for half an hour
- Ed Chang · v1.0.7
Badly written English
