I said the last bonus ranking would probably be the last, but I lied because this is one that can be pretty much finished in a day. Absolutely not my kind of game, but I kept seeing it being talked about on Twitter and Tiktok, so I figured I'd give it a try. It's a anime visual novel in the style of a dating sim, only you play as the girl getting annoyingly hit on by guys. But it's also extremely American in everything but it's design, with sharp writing and dark humor that sounds very weird coming from high school characters but is also really weirdly accurate to the types of conversations I remember hearing from when I was in high school. The game also needs probably 100 different content warnings on it, as it features subplots involving pedophile teachers, sexual assault and harrassment, drugs, white nationalists, teen suicide, school shootings and more. There's not much in the way of a "game" here; it's kind of a choose your own adventure with no more gameplay than occasionally choosing which way to respond once every few minutes. I guess that's normal for visual novels? Again, not really my kind of thing typically. It is very funny, even when it tries to be over-the-top edgy. It's also probably not something I'd recommend to people, and you can probably get just as much enjoyment from watching clips of it on Youtube as you would playing it.

I can't really rank this very high, I think just below Reus at #140
