I'm lowkey disappointed that I can't accept any of the crazy ones. I know the game is a year old and trying to point out the harassment of women, but still I think it would be more fun if it would let the players get into dark humor situations.
I find that remark a bit unsettling. The entire premise of social media is to facilitate open communication between people who might otherwise have never encountered one another in physical life. It follows logically that the only sensible implementation of the device requires a certain humility that one adopts whenever one "leaves home". Traveling in a distant land, one does not know the customs, but one can learn from how one is treated what is deemed to be appropriate to others. Fundamentally, the same basic instincts and values drive all human correspondences; I should know, having interacted with developers from seven different countries in only the last week, and myself having emigrated to the United States from a crumbling country. An "opener" is never enough to establish someone as being objectively disturbing, for it is either all too familiar, with little hope or imperative to reform rather than to accept, or it is so alien that its origins can only be contextualized well after the fact. All in all, I recommend an attitude of Openness to all social interactions online, until caution is warranted a posteriori. it's the only way to TRULY have a chance at "being right" instead of coming off as self-entitled or privileged, though let us not forget the extremely warm feeling which comes from a rare and unexpected visit from a mysterious stranger!!
I'm sorry for that... I didn't want to come out as entitled or something, but given the nature of some messages in the game the first thing that came to my mind was when I was exposed to that kind of content irl when I was merely a teen... you know, the awkward hookup lines from strangers, the weird "poetry" and so on. At my times there were no modern social media, so every kind of online chat was open to anybody, there was no way to avoid them. My best attempt to do an exorcism to my fears when I was a teen was brushing the messages off with a joke, that's why I think your game is good both t sensibilizing people and relieve some stress. Of course social media isn't meant to be a ground for hookup, it's an entire different space. Being a gamedev it's just another way to pay respects to the good site of it, I think :)

I certainly understand the message behind the game, but for me it was just fun to see what crazy people you could find. "I want to lick your teeth" has to be the best pick up line ever, and I intend to use it from now on. I'd suggest playing the game for yourself, but feel free to check out my vid as well
Yes! In real life I am bad at dating sites (I never respond to messages!), but I chose the goofy sex ones here because I figured my character might want a one-night hookup. I haven't hit any flirty dialogue options so far... I don't think the character wants to be on Tinder in the first place. Which is fine! But surprising.
Edit -- Not to knock on the programmers of this free game. I like the art style!
this game is fun but I have a very hard time playing it. On my screen when I click run game, it blows up so much that I can't see half of the game, and when I click what I believe is options (I can't see it enough to read it) to try and maybe change the screen dimensions or something, it goes to black and won't load anything.

This game would be infinite if you copypasted real openers from creeps on social media xD nonetheless, I liked this game!

Maybe.....

Yeah we had issues with the resolution setting unfortunately. Hopefully we will get it sorted soon. Thanks for the feedback!
