Friends vs Friends: Coffee Talk

I haven't played Friends vs Friends, the shooter/deckbuilding game this is fanfic of, but I looked up some images of it and it seems pretty fun.

This game is in binksi, and is controlled by the arrow keys to select different text options.

There are some cool graphics and text, and you have a conversation between friends at a diner.

Everything seems set up pretty nice, but I feel like there's a slight lack of nuance. Facial expressions don't change much, conversations lack a lot of details and feel like they could fit in almost anywhere, etc. So everything's high quality, but I could have seen it having more uniqueness.

In the vibes of 80-90s video games, with tv effects, this binksi entry spans a short time, just enough to share a drink and catching up. The mundanity of the discussion coupled with the bright art is strangely nostalgic and warm. And the end is so very lovely… reminding us that life is too short, that we should enjoy the present, and that we should do things that make us happy…
