One must imagine Ramsay twinkified, out of spite.

Last week I finished the main story of Sensei! I Like You So Much!, or SenSuki, an Early Access business sim/visual novel about shipping fandom otaku. HowLongToBeat says the game’s story mode is 15 hours long, but it took me 34 because I spent a lot of time on optional minigames and itabeya decorating.

Whenever I acquire a new obsession, I look for blogposts about it, but with new and niche stuff, there’s often not a lot to read. I couldn’t find a lot of talk about the game online, so I want to add my two cents with this little—or not so little—ramble here, since it’s (at least tangentially) related to my interest in figure collecting and oshikatsu.

I’d seen mentions of this game pop up in some of my online hangouts and eventually decided to give it a try despite its Early Access state and the fact that I’m not really a fan of visual novels or business sims. I was mainly curious to see how it would tackle some of my Greatest Passions™, fandom and shipping, and the discount during the Steam Storyteller sale sealed the deal.

Almost 70 hours later, my main takeaway is that the developers’ passion for the subject matter clearly shines through. It very much felt like a game made by a peer rather than an outside observer, and I appreciate the unabashed sincerity throughout.
