Let's Try Socially Awkward - Something is UP With, uh, EVERYONE in This Game (Patreon)

IDK, we might not release this one publicly, or it might need an editing pass to remove some of the conversations first, or something.
We found the writing style and sense of humor pretty grating, and were increasingly bewildered by the behavior of characters that we were told are college students. A mix of anime lolrandom SHOUTING and infantilization that we were just NOT ready for.
We played it because it was recommended by a bunch of people. I'm plenty used to being critical, but it kind of hits differently when we're talking about a single indie developer in a tight-knit community who will most likely see it?
I'm somewhat questioning the future of the Let's Try series. Since we've covered a lot of the audience favorites already, I feel like the tone is going to change from "here are intriguing, promising projects" to "here's a bunch of indie jank" and since we go in blind I can't really tell which one a game is going to be until it's too late. I can't really go by audience recommendations because that's how we got here.
It'd be rough to see the most popular series on the channel come to an end, but I also don't want to be the one who personally reaches across the internet and crushes someone's will to create?
*shrug* let me know your thoughts if you watch it.
