"[2] The player is initially introduced into the game by the creator, and is made aware that they will play the role of a younger Case and be faced with decisions and events that may or may not have happened in their own life.

The player must choose a selection of responses to say in conversation with other characters, in a user interface deliberately stylized to look like an instant messaging application.

Case introduces themself and explains that the game they are working on, while it is based on their life experiences, is "100% lies", and will be 100% even if the dialogue were 100% true.

The player controls the dialogue, selecting from one of three options, knowing that every word they say will be remembered; they can either choose to aggressively pursue their coming out to homophobic parents, lie to keep their relationship secret, or "gradually hint at it" (i.e. Nicky's bisexuality).

Metro Weekly describes the game as "a thoughtful, sometimes funny, often heartfelt exploration of one man's own struggle to be himself" and praises its programming.
