Don't Take it Personally, Babe, it Just Ain't Your Story

Don't Take it Personally, Babe, it Just Ain't Your Story is a slightly interactive visual novel set in 2027 in a prestigious high school literacy class. In it you play as the teacher and in addition to the expected high school drama you will encounter themes of homosexuality, youth sexuality, and erosion of privacy. It is also lauded as a kind-of spiritual sequel to Digital: A Love Story, which I completely see.


The gameplay overall is comprised mostly of reading messages but in opposition to Digital there are a few choices to be made that effect the story, but this is the extent of the gameplay with no puzzles in the offering at all this time. My biggest problem with the game is these choices; Overall (from what I could tell) most of them did not seem to add much to the story and the story seemed to be obviously made to negate the consequences of your choices.

I liked it, but no where near as much as Digital.

My mini-review of Don't Take it Personally, Babe, it Just Ain't Your Story.
