answer these 10 questions and i'll tell you what kind of lover you are: a choose-your-own-adventure heartbreak in the shape of a quiz
a short story that's sort of like if a prose poem and a buzzfeed quiz had a baby and they all fucking hated you.
it looks better full screen.
(edited to add: wow i never expected this game to reach so many people - as of writing this, it's been viewed over 100k times! :o ! it was important to me from the start that the game be free and i'll never charge for it, but i have set up a tip jar at https://ko-fi.com/frannymestrich if you enjoyed it and want to support my writing. a huge thank you to everyone who's played, commented, shared with a friend, and/or rated. xoxo)

jesus christ
everybody gets a sweet but aloof???well i think 。。。there could be more fun
playing this after a breakup is like getting waterboarded
I didn't expect this from the game, I thought it was going to be a simple test, but it made me feel guilty, almost nine years ago I liked a person that I feel I didn't tell enough, I feel I didn't talk enough, I could never figure out if he really loved me or if it was just an infatuation that he refused to let go, I always wondered the difference between the two, and I always will, since now he is on the other side of the world, different times, different cities, and probably, different memories and feelings for the other one. Sweet but aloof, I wanted really bad to tell the game that this was not everything I wanted from them even if it was a lie, but I guess my dishonesty with my feelings never got me anywhere. Nice game, would play again
I was not honestly expecting this outcome. I'll be honest I've never dated in my life or have any romantic relationship with anyone not even at my highschool years, although some boys confess to go out with them, but I knew deep down they were toying with my feelings, as I wasn't the first girl in my class being asked out, they've simply weren't mature enough to understand how romance work and lack feelings to take it seriously enough. I just kindly told them no thanks or shook my head no. I am shy and introvert and basically antisocial when necessary I will talk nonstop if we had similar interests. It's a shame that it's already 23 years of my life with no romantic exciting feelings occur, not that it bothers me as I can live with fictional world of romance, psychologically it's an awful idea, however, playing these sorts of game I can sympathize with the Protagonist or even the Boyfriend/girlfriend part, meaning they probably weren't soo bad or just couldn't express the feelings the right way. Am I gullible and naive? It's possible but after all, the realistic situation of this game really hurts me somehow. I'm in shock, I hope to read more and see other outcomes to this story explains the relationship with the EX and the MC somehow. This, I can see more story lore in another game or something from the Dev!
Sweet but aloof? Hmm... I am shy and introverted, this is totally a right description of me! Somehow. (゜o゜;.
I was not ready for that
Think I cried a bit tbh. :')
Ouch, alright. A little reminiscent of my last relationship. Yikes. Great game!
Ouch was not expecting that, but oof got me in one, like ouch no way to say that it hurt the first time first try.
the thing is, sweet but aloof is me, i didn't get into this relationship yet, but i know it would end like that. it hurts because i want to give myself away, but i don't want to lose who i am for it. humans are pretty messed up, huh? i enjoyed this game a lot. thanks.
my first run basically rehashed how I broke up with my ex 2 years ago... kinda hurt oof
damn, too close for comfort :((
Ngl, I just wanted a quiz about what lover i am lol, i didn't really expect the ex stuff, not hate though :D I got sweet but aloof
this hurt
damnnnnn...i can't say anything. But this is so cool
I got "Sweet, but aloof" and it kinda hurt honestly. mainly with the "what if you just loved them better" which is one of the main things my Brain says to trick myself into thinking it was my fault. I know it wasn't but still, ouch.
ok so this did NOT need to be this relevant. thanks i guess.
i'm really sorry i haven't talked to you in months, but i can't. not after how we talked before you left me and everyone else. your apologies are meaningless and i still hold onto them pitifully.
thank you sooo much for this frannym i love the way you wrote this so much
Well. Fuck off.
THIS IS SO WELL WRITTEN (And I'm crying now)
My lover is the sweet and aloof.. Idk what I am, I guess I'm that too. We keep breaking up but we stay talking then we get back in the loop. I'm too scared to tell him its hurting me
Sincerely,
Sweet but Aloof</3
wasnt expecting to end my night crying like this but here i am
kill yourself
im sobbing. i just had a talk with my partner where they told me they felt like this. im doing the best i can to make sure it wont end the same way. i dont know if itll work. i trying my best. i hope its actually my best.
Yes, I'm Sweet but Aloof
yeesh I feel kinda attacked like my actual relationship right now is being looked at through a microscope or something - signed Sweet but Aloof
i actually really enjoyed this, tho idk if thats the right word to use for what this made me feel. caught me way off gaurd and i happened to have spotify playing "both sides of the moon" by celeste just a whole experience and i wasnt really into my options for my answers at first but it pulled me in real quick. and i think my result made sense for me knowing what i do about myself already, good game.
What did you just say to me
oh :( that's really sad. I like the game a lot though
Oh god i didn't expected it to hit so hard-
this wasn't what it was like, but it was too close for comfort
i am crying and im not eve drunk
I'm drunk rn and I kept coming back picking different choices to try and change the outcome but just like life I cant go back in time and now im crying ovsr what was supposed to be a fun little thing to distract myself wtf dude this is not ok what is wrong with you fuck fuck fuck
that was NOT 10 questions
fuck man. i didnt want a punch to get gut like that. Damn good game.
shit just got a bit too real
i love you, please dont say goodbye
THE DRAMA WAS CRAZZY also really sad :(
10/10 I didn't expect it but this was poetry just like the result I got
Am i cying rn wow absolute cinema
I've never even loved anyone before, yet this hit a little too hard for some reason.
