The game was very enjoyable. You almost feel like you get to go through the generations of early gaming. The story is interesting and the characters are charming quirky and fun. I went through the game 4 times to get all the endings and they really add a lot more context to the reasoning behind everything. I recomend a blind playthrough the first time around, but to also follow up with the other endings.

Because the multiple endings end up being the meat of the game, going through the slow dialogs and tutorials made for a slog of a replay; Three additional times I would add. I do like the additional hidden lore, but I don't think it's naturally able to be found. The community has put together the notes in the guides, but this information would have been great had it been easier to find.

The game has 4 total endings, but you ultimately end up playing the same while making specific choices. My total playtime is actually getting each of the endings, but beyond that I don't think you can get much else. Game's of this nature are stronger on the first playthrough.

Due to the nature of the game, a lot of stuff is fairly vague. I ended up using a guide for additional playthroughs and to get the other 3 endings. It's a very easy 100%, but the lack of text speed up does make it last longer than it needs to.

I didn't experience any *actual* bugs, overall no issues.

$10 is a decent value if you go for all the endings, otherwise it drops to $4 pretty frequently. I think it's a fun quick play, and do recommend it (and to get all the endings).

Buddy Simulator is an exploration in friendship that is one half a goofy and charming adventure and one half a technological and existential nightmare. The game is a bit slow to start as it builds off its ideas, but the character development of your buddy and occasional jumpscares help to keep things moving until the world is a bit more fleshed out. This is another one of those games where it's recommended that you go in knowing as little as possible, and you won't regret it. There are surprises around every corner! Truly a delight to play.

I bought this game just for the hell of it. Didn't read anything, didn't think of anything. Oh my god what a cute game. Oh my god. Oh.
