Our take on Don't Take It Personally, I Just Don't Like You
Rather than presenting romance as a straightforward path toward a lasting match, the game centers uncertainty, rejection, and relationships that may change. Its three short routes replace expansive progression with focused stories about college life and young love.
What is Don't Take It Personally, I Just Don't Like You?
This dating simulator follows a college student who leaves a small hometown for city life and faces classes, roommate problems, social anxiety, and an upcoming formal dance.
Romance develops through relationships with six college-aged characters, with choices shaping conversations and personal outcomes. Feelings may not be returned, and mutual interest may change over time. The game includes three complete routes, each lasting 2 hours, with many dialogue options. Its visual style draws on retro computer and cassette-tape aesthetics, while the lo-fi soundtrack accompanies stories about young love, rejection, and complicated relationships. The setting also includes trespassing on government property and anxiety attacks in crowded shopping malls.
