““我以为会有不同,以为你问我为什么不吻你会是一个美好的暗示,我以为我们之间还有可能。
我听你喜欢的歌,制造一切和你说话的机会,谨慎的选择可能和你一起的行程,撇清一切不干不净的关系………
你过得如何?天气好吗?学校怎么样?毕业后有什么打算?
好吧,再见,再见,再见。”
游戏流程很短,半个小时的时间,搭配着游戏的xp画面和经典的打字音,却仿佛是走过了一段人生。

“It's one of those rare games that completely stopped me in my tracks.”
Julie Muncy, Wired

“A story game in which you return to a realm time forgot: AOL Instant Messenger.”
Nathan Grayson, Kotaku

“It reminded me both of Digital: A Love Story and Catholic-guilt-simulator Catherine. Which are not bad games to be compared to.”
Brendan Caldwell, Rock Paper Shotgun
