At first I was going to make a knee-jerk "isn't this a double-standard?" remark before even clicking the link, but after doing so, shit, it looks pretty fucking good. Reminds me a bit of Katawa Shoujo in that it's a very non-standard cast and (seems) to focus a lot on story.

I really wonder about a couple of things, though:
1) will it have feels? Will it make a female cry manly femanly tears?
2) will it have 'romance scenes'?
-2a) if so, will it, like Katawa Shoujo, have story-pertinent dialogue *during* those scenes?

2a was very well-done in Katawa Shoujo. The sex scenes for two of the routes enhanced the story and feelings during the rest that route.

Now, Katawa Shoujo was written by both males and females, and, while this itself may sound like a double-standard, I'm actually really intrigued by the thought of an all-female team.

Like the many girls that played Katawa Shoujo, I may actually try this out once it's released. I wonder how Jontron will act and if he'll be my husbando :3

I don't think I'll ever understand these dating sims, if it's some kind of comedy then i guess it would make sense, but the games that just simulate either dating or just sleeping around don't really make sense to me.

I guess it begs the question of why its fine to spend your time shooting people in games but dating is off limits, but I've always figured dating was about the emotional aspect. Without any legitimate love it just seems like all the worst and most mundane parts of dating combined together into a game.
If you've ever cried during a movie or felt strong emotion in a book, it's pretty much that but in a 'choose your own adventure' venue. It's in a limbo between 'game' and 'animated book.' And frankly, if the writing is done very well (phenomenal, in Katawa Shoujo's case), it'll invoke a strong emotional response.

You can check online for scores of men that, after finishing a Katawa Shoujo route, became completely disinterested in sex for up to several weeks. I know first-hand; I just didn't feel any urge to jerk off and just kinda lost the ability to be aroused, real life or 2D.

It (Katawa Shoujo) really does simulate actual dating, and does a fantastic job invoking the feelings involved with real life dating. Fuck, the relationships with these animated characters felt more realistic and truly emotional than 75% of my *actual* relationships.

For the love of god this needs voice acting.

Jontron's over-the-top New York accent needs to be in this game. It just needs to.

I am tingling...
