"Despite various glitches that are being fixed in updates, overall Best Friend Forever is an accurate take on what life can be like both in the dating scene, and when bringing up a dog. For players who are not dog owners it is an eye-opener to how intense and hands-on having a dog is, with a lot to think about and juggle what aspects of training get priority. All the characters seem available to date, none are cookie-cutter ones as each has complex aspects to their lives which are realistic. Replayability is high with so many romance options available, and learning how to improve stats better to achieve better grades from the adoption centre provides hours of gameplay to be had."

About
"My Mom's Bestfriend!" is a visual novel where story choices shape a tangled family dynamic. You play a college student heading home for a break, only to find your mom's lifelong friend staying at the house, and realizing she's the girl you secretly liked as a kid. Dialogue options let you navigate awkward conversations, hidden feelings, and the push-pull of adult relationships. The game leans into cringe humor and emotional beats as it unravels over several short, branching scenes. The developer's knack for awkward yet heartfelt writing shines here. With no combat or puzzles to distract, the focus stays on the characters' tangled histories and the protagonist's internal struggle. While the premise might feel niche, fans of small-stakes drama and relationship-driven stories will find it oddly compelling. The minimalist art style and quick runtime (under two hours) make it easy to breeze through, but the messy, relatable emotions linger.
