Jared and Anne Ladyem (anneladyem.com) decided to see what was up with that KFC dating sim, so we played it. It may have only taken us two hours, but it was two hours where we were pretty unimpressed with everything that the game had to offer. So, what went wrong? Is this truly as wacky as people thought it was going to be or a game that falls flat?
