Why’d I put so much into this – Is It Love? Ryan - You choose Review

Man, I love little romance stories, and RP ones?! Sign me up! I was hooked with this story and overall it’s great, save for some minor details, but god this game is MONEY HUNGRY. Don’t get me wrong, it’s obvious there are HOURS worth of story and dedication that has gone into this game. I especially applaud the obviously-talented artists, but I feel like a beggar when in comes to energy. “Could you spare a little energy, please?” Honestly, I have invested a little more than I should’ve in this game (although maybe some of that was due to the fact I was a little drugged out on flu medicine when I did make several purchases at ungodly hours of the night). I’m happy I did, as one top-reviewer mentioned: it feels great to support creators, but holy moly you can only get through two minutes of content before you’re out of energy for the day. A $10 purchase gave me an extra 20 minutes of content I was grateful for, however I did spend most of the time dreading when I’d run out again. And half the time it seems like 50% of my energy is being spent on small comments like “(Ouch!)” Why am I being forced to waste 10 energy points on one word? I feel like making this review means nothing considering how old this game is, but maybe this message can reach aspiring content creators: please ensure that your supporters have plenty of time to engage with the material. I mean, 10 minutes at the least would’ve satisfied me, and I’d still be happy to make those extra energy purchases (although, in all honesty I wish the prices were more justifiable). I get this was something a lot of energy and money was poured into, but I can’t see myself actually spending more than a month or two occupying myself with this game. It’s a story game. Like a movie. Or a book. Who would, in their right mind, spend two minutes of their every day on a game with hours of content until the end? Only to get so shortly far into the story? I just don’t get it.
