"What can I say to wrap things up? Well, it’s different. It’s almost as if the BioShock brand actually did this game a disservice, because the legacy of the original BioShock was so strong that it’s simply impossible not to compare the two. At the same time, I can’t help but feel that the original setting just suited me better. BioShock Infinite, however, is a great game—just not a completely great BioShock."

About

This visual novel casts you as someone pursuing relationships with stick figures. Yep. These minimalist avatars have distinct traits and dialogue that feel surprisingly human. The humor comes from how earnestly it treats online dating dynamics, think awkward text-based flirting, ambiguous messages, and the lingering mystery of who's on the other end. You navigate choices that affect your bond, all while the game leans hard into the absurdity of finding romance in pixelated lines and circles. The game’s cult following stems from its deadpan delivery and the sheer commitment to its premise. Players often cite the mix of cringey and heartfelt moments as a standout, with many comparing the stick figure interactions to early internet dating vibes. Released in 2020, it remains a niche favorite for its ability to turn simplicity into charm. Runs on PC and Mac, and yes the stick figures are intentionally the "smexiest" according to the developer.
