//TODO: today

Being a productive member of society is not an easy task, especially when there’s all this pressure on you to live a happy life and fulfill your dreams. Some people just take longer to figure out their lives, which is somehow perceived as a bad thing. Granted, you can just do your own thing and pay no attention to what everyone is telling you.

//TODO: today is an interesting visual novel with dating sim elements, in which you have to help your character get out of a toxic routine of procrastination and self-pity. The game features a variety of choices to make along the way, some of which affect the plot and the story ending. On top of that, there are a few romance options to choose from as well.

The main character’s name is Teal, but you can change that to whatever you like in the beginning. The gender is also left up to you, so you can pretty much imagine yourself as part of the story. In short, he/she is a college dropout who needs to find a job as quickly as possible, in order to avoid getting evicted and truly start a life. However, things are not as simple as they sound, especially when procrastination enters the picture.

As mentioned before, you can pursue a romantic relationship with one of two possible characters, depending on your tastes. The two routes also make it easy to re-play the game if you want to see everything, so the experience is definitely enjoyable the second time around too. Making the right decisions is not hard, so you can easily steer the story in the desired direction.

The graphics are nothing to write home about, but then again they do not need to be very flashy anyway. Even so, the artwork is colorful and cozy, although the backgrounds are a bit sketchy sometimes. The music might get on your nerves, on the other hand, because there are only a couple of songs and they loop like crazy after a few minutes of gameplay.

All in all, //TODO: today is not a genre-defining title, but it has a few nice elements that can keep you engaged from start to finish. It can also be enjoyable the second time around if you choose a different route.
