Money for Girls: Amortized

Waiting for someone to write a guide before a second playthrough, because I love Cancer (the sad, fragile thing she is) and don’t wish to subject her to more bad ends than necessary experimenting in search of a good end… but that (in and of itself) combined with the reality “I’m recommending this after one 80 minute playthrough, because if it was *just that* it’d still be worth the price” is testament to how much this resonated with me. I aspire to be the best ally I can, but like this is a review from a painfully straight CIS white boy, so do with that what you will… parts of it were rather bracing from character creation (I know there’s a “we’re taking it back”movement, but wasn’t ready for that word out of the gate as someone who absolutely couldn’t say it). But in the same way this reality leaves me uncomfortable saying how resonant/affecting/insightful/sensitive it would be from the standpoint of someone with more lived experience in the topics, I can definitely attest to the fact it felt like a very powerful mix of both direct textual portrayal of Yuri coming of age alongside surreal levels of supernatural fantasy allegory. Someone concerned and quietly hiding the reality their body is slowly morphing into an alien plastic facade as their inner being collapses into a black hole strikes me as something a lot of 20 somethings questioning their sexuality probably COULD relate to, so it’s a visceral enough analogy that it was that much easier for me to relate to. A lot of good romance and horror run with a protagonist you could easily project yourself upon in scenarios you can easily imagine. And that’s perfectly adequate, but the simple approach… it is an easy thing to care about a protagonist just like you, and thus the simplest way to write one. Cancer’s situation is strange enough none have ever gone through her EXACT problems, but they’re also stark and confrontational enough we’re forced to imagine somewhat vividly “but what if you were?” And while enormous, her awkwardness and insecurity feel deeply relatable even if I never dealt with some of her foibles personally. The game is great in the sense it makes you care even if a lot of this is deeply foreign. I can only imagine what it’s like to someone who can relate to it more directly, but as someone who can’t, still very enriching, is the point I’m making… so worth a try just on the chance it impacts you as deeply as it did me

RAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

this game is like doki doki except if someone hit you with a brick after every line of dialogue

I love you, Cancer Prize!

nasty girlfailure simulator got the freak ending first go sorry for whoever also finds this game relatable

never before has a game made me sit and stare at my monitor for nearly ten minutes after finishing. i dont have the words to express exactly what this game made me experience in just 90 minutes of playtime. god i love women. thank you porpentine. i <3 cancel

I adore this game, it made me almost sob. It shows so much and at the same time is silly, has amazing graphics and sounds. At times it's deep or at others it's the most random thing happening. Thank you so much to the creators for making this, I can't wait for your future games <333
