I didn't get to the boss. When the game started giving me debuffs for talking to these women (which is like, half the point of the game) I noped out. How am I supposed to answer their questions for maximum points to prove I like them if talking to them makes the game more difficult? Look up a walkthrough? If I wanted to look up gameplay somebody else did, I may as well watch someone else play it, and if I'm doing that then why bother playing at all?

Fuck that. Bring back the ridiculous "Hey, just curious, what did I tell you my cup size was four days ago?" quizzing! That's such a hallmark of these games! Getting to know her isn't supposed to make it more difficult to get in her pants!

I think the writer of the game didn't realize that a lot of the players were women, too, because some of those debuffs were fucking idiotic. The porn star gets a "Busted Vag" debuff? What kind of unrealistic incel garbage is that? That is not how women work.

That one wasn't what made me quit playing but it's the one I remember most. If I was going to punish the player for talking to a girl (big NO on that) I would at least choose better debuffs (you have the same name as my dead father, xXPussySlayerXx, so I get sad when I say your name - boom! Don't Say My Name debuff).
