This game leaves me thoroughly unimpressed as a criticism of the drama surrounding Hogwarts Legacy. While it's a self-described shitpost, it's still rather poorly thought out. While it's absurd that David Zaslav himself would personally ask me to buy a copy of Hogwarts Legacy, I can accept that there needs to be some level of absurdity to a satirical work.

So, you choose to purchase the game or not. When you purachase a copy, you IMMEDIATELY see a news headline about some anti-trans event happening in the world. For the mere cost of $60, you can immedaitely exert influence on global events. This kind of power, left unchecked, would have MUCH more far-reaching consequences than just trans rights; imagine if the Department of Defense, in all its infinite funding, could just buy a million copies of some other game to destabilize Iran or China?

I mean, it's just a parody, right? Sure, it needs to be over the top, but I think this really exposes the author's black-and-white thinking; I suspect they actually think that a boycott of Hogwarts Legacy is all that can prevent a transgender holocaust.

Ashley insists that she's not harassing streamers that are playing the game. As we learned 9 years ago, it's foolish and bigoted to doubt the victims of online harassment, so her lecture about how most trans people aren't harassing people as a group is immediately suspect.

Who is Ashley, anyway? Why does she seem to have the ability to instinctually know when I've purchased a copy of Hogwarts Legacy? Why are my responses to her complete strawman of an anti-woke person? Why don't I have the option to just buy one copy and tell Ashley to fuck off? Or buy zero copies and tell Ashley to fuck off? And Rowling and Zaslav and @Gamernews and Asmongold? The only guy who was cool was Your Gamer Friend.

At the end of the game, Liana admits that this game is a massive exaggeration, and that "getting all the nuance required to deal with this complex issue would require many paragraphs and be boring." Well, Liana, you sure did write a lot of paragraphs for this game already, perhaps you're only able to write when you're having an outburst. You admit that you don't really think that buying a copy of Hogwarts Legacy matters, why did you even make this HTML5 VN in the first place?

Final verdict: This game was made in about three hours, and it really shows. I find it hard to believe that it's a "shitpost" by someone who claims she isn't mad.

DISCLAIMER: I didn't buy HL and have no intent to as long as it has Denuvo DRM. Maybe I'll get it on sale for ten bucks in a few years if they ever remove Denuvo.

fun and epic game, got a 10 :3

Also, it took me down to within a few seconds to play the entire game and listen to the entirety of TRAUMA REDUCTION PRAYER by FREE.99 in the background so that makes it extra based (if you don't know, look up their music, it goes hard af and they are very trans and gay)

I got 5 points in the dating sim. Am I cool?

The game wasn't fun, ngl. I want options to be uninterested because I dislike HP, not because I agree or disagree with JK. 

Love this game

I got 12 //////

huh?

yikes, I never though an itch comment section of all places could be such a battleground...

cool game, I liked it a lot :)

This was bleakly funny. A compact way of exposing people to simple facts they may otherwise be avoiding. I laughed pretty hard when hasanabi shows up to lecture you if you stop buying copies of the game.

absolutely on point. Actual transphobic quotes from jkr and the hammer to the forehead of every time you buy a copy more trans rights being put under attack, and still these comments are fulla clowns who miss the point. Can lead a horse to water...
