This game has an immense amount of charm and fun in it! It's a really fun metroidvania both mechanically and exploratively. The 3D character models and animations for the main cast are a bit janky but the largest selling point is the writing. It swaps between genuine dialogue about relationships, emotional baggage, personal growth, boundaries and some of the wackiest groan-inducing wordplay that the human brain can muster. It made every dialogue with the cast an absolute delight and with the pick-a-side moments really gave it that trashy daytime reality TV feel in the best way. I've played through it twice both as masc and femme Drac and while I prefer masc Drac both are great in their own ways. All of the characters are interesting and choosing who you have to vote off each time is not easy, ever. Characters that seem like they're just caricatures and jokes to wordplay off their premise had so much to offer in realizing that these personas can be masking real fears and insecurities.

I did experience a couple bugs when trying to talk to primarily P.S. Elle later on and trying to enter Brocifer's room but a quick exit and reload seems to have resolved it. The game is not perfect but it has an amazing charm and wonderful experience you're not going to find anywhere else.

I'd give it an 8/10 with some points knocked for some bugs and some of the character model jank that presents itself intermittently. It's an incredible game well worth your time AND multiple playthroughs! It took me about 12-13 hours per run so it's not a very long experience and it gets shorter as you replay.
