First Love / Late Spring by Lateralis
"First Love / Late Spring" is a brief meditation on mediocrity, fragility, and the quiet mounting frustration of trying to keep the conversation alive even though we all knew there was never anything there from the start.
...
Or something like that.
"First Love / Late Spring" was produced in GameMaker Studio 2. The soundtrack was produced in Little Sound DJ.

By the way, I got a mistake, when pressed information button after I run out of all candidates and the game crushed.
That's a shame I can't play your game - I managed to start one conversation but the game kept crashing - mostly on incomplete swipes (couldn't get them right, I'm sorry!) and when I run out of the conversation partners. The only other comment I'd have is the size - font is pretty small even on FullHD screen (not event mention 4K) and I had a hard time reading it.
Still, it's a great job, keep it up!
I didn't get to see much dialog, because the game kept crashing, but I enjoyed the experience.
I also loved the joke about names :D
wish i could check it out more!
The game crashed when I had swiped everybody and clicked the X button.
I think I get the message of the game. I would have liked to play more but the game kept closing after each message chain and I really did not enjoy sitting through 30 seconds of an intro screen that had seemingly nothing to do with the game.
The audio was trying to be good but it was really hard to listen to it with the filter put on it.
Idea is nice but the overall execution and how everything is put together seems to be very stiff unfortunately :(.

Little issue when having a conversation for more than the lenght of th screen :

Despite the bugs, was a nice ride! You even reminded me of that one anime I watched years ago.
