A downloadable game for Windows

"Well, why didn't you just leave her?" and "Just leave him then" you hear them say, but things aren't that easy...


Why Didn't You Just Leave Her? is a psychological horror game about toxic relationships and the difficulty of leaving. The guilt trips, the fear, the feeling of slowly being swallowed whole.

Keyboard controls.

Not a fan of the controls.
Went through the full alphabet before I realized you have to click 'space' to start it/move forward.

Mr. Meow is kinda cloying. I don't much care for him.
But I will concede that a lot of people probably love pointless and superficial flattery like that. (He's cute tho, I'll give him that.)
He's also kinda useless, sitting on his butt all the time. lol
But I guess that's normal in games. NPC's never help, they just tell you what to do. lol

Where's the save button?

I am pretty sure I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to get the flowers to grow.
Maybe if I sleep early they will...

Well... It moved forward.

Damn is he demanding.
(Again, not unusual for an NPC, so I can't tell if that's intentional or not, considering the premise of the game.)

Self-pity and apologies too. Ugh.
Not my favorite kind of person.
And I am presuming this is the "good" parts before he goes bad.

This game is somewhere between boring and annoying --but in an interesting way.

I suspect that's on purpose tho.

I don't have the energy to deal with Mr. Bossy more today, but with some luck the game autosaved, and maybe I'll try to get more than two days into it sometime later. lol

It's not a bad game btw.

Just not the kind of guy I like, at all.

chills. really good game.

Had a lot of fun dicking around on this game with my friend! Love the color palette, as well as the music (before it became all distorted)

cool
