Heartbreak High: A Break-Up Simulator

About

You play a high school student who's dated the entire roster of your class and now must end each relationship one by one. The game uses visual novel style dialogue trees where your choices shape how exes react from hurt to hilarious. Each breakup scenario mixes absurd humor with light strategy as you navigate awkward conversations in hallways classrooms and the gym. Outcomes affect your popularity meter which determines new interactions and eventual endings. Released in 2018 this PC and Mac indie title flips dating sim tropes with a focus on messy breakups rather than romance. The writing leans into cringe humor with over 200 dialogue options and multiple endings based on decision consistency. Players appreciate the absurdity of the premise and the way it turns relationship mechanics into a chaotic game of social chess. The 3 hour runtime offers enough branching paths to justify replayability without overstaying its welcome.
