About the StoryWhat’s worse than getting dumped by your pity date at prom? How about being stuck on a boat with him all night as he makes out with the girl you have a crush on? It’s enough to make Elizabeth want to jump overboard. But instead she’s trapped here at prom for the next three hours — and for some reason the annoying meddler who ruined her two best chances at love just won’t leave her alone. Game Details |

A story-focused multi-scene LGBTQ romance/disaster on a boat, September 13, 2021The author of this game has made several other very successful twine games, including Birdland and its related works and Known Unknowns. Many of them are smooth and enjoyable LGBTQ YA stories and this is in a similar category.
You play as a young woman whos prom date gets publicly ruined as embarrassingly as possible. Unfortunately, this prom is also on a boat.
There are many characters, and all choices are dialogue options. This author tends to have a ton of little options hidden in the code, but each path you can take in this game feels like the 'intended' one.
There's nothing to see here in the way of puzzles or major decisions; the real draw is the witty dialogue, teen-relatable situations and, for those interested, LGBTQ representation.
For me, what it keeps it from being 5 stars is its lack of the extraordinary. I enjoy this author's games the best when they become bizarre and absurd, like weird dream birds or raccoons speaking in emoji. For me, this was like very good cake without frosting: delicious, but leaving you wishing it had that extra ingredient.
