I Wani Hug that Gator!
Wait, what do you mean we’re moving?!
Just great; just when Inco was getting ready to move on into his Senior year, his parents decide to uproot his life and move half-way across the country!
Guess it’s time to start all over. Sure, Inco didn’t have many friends (or any) back at his old school, and sure, he was so low on the social ladder that he had to get a deep-sea diving lesson…. Wait, why was he complaining about moving again?
I Wani Hug that Gator is a multi-ended, choices-matter visual novel about second chances and the power of accepting who you are. Shape how Inco makes the most of his final year, and how the relationships he makes along the way will develop. One relationship in particular has him feeling all fuzzy inside…
The Prehistoric Romance a Million-and-One Years in the making!
If there’s one good thing to come out of Inco’s sudden relocation, it’s Olivia. Bold and brash, Olivia seems particularly gifted in getting under Inco’s skin. No matter how Inco slices it, he and Olivia seem destined to go together like a particularly scaly sandwich. But the outcome of such a pairing is yet to be determined…
Wait, am I being graded on this?!
Make friends, reconcile enemies, and figure out how Inco could possibly repair his miserable excuse for a social life. But be warned: The choices you make expands the relationships with Inco’s classmates and determines which of the four unique endings you receive. Maybe Inco should’ve spent a little less time studying and a bit more time learning how to relate to people…

(My actual play time is around 12 hours as of writing this review)
As someone who has first-hand experience with disability, I was really sceptical of this game, wondering if they "got it right".
And boy, they sure did.
Pros:
- Interesting characters, I was interested in character developments, even for characters that I didn't like much.
- I was taken aback by the authenticity of the writing. It feels very natural and flows well.
- The feels! From laughter to sadness, I went trough all kinds of emotions.
- With really similar situations, I related to Olivia a lot, her conflicting feelings, her struggles tied to her handicap. There's no doubt in my mind that the person writing is very aware of disability, the good, the bad, the ugly. And it shows.
- A true slice of life, where the kind-of-boring setting is made interesting by all the characters and feelings around it.
- Very nice music, discrete and mesured, that would match the scenes well.
- The pacing is very good. Slowing down and fast forwarding at just the right time.
Cons:
- Inco, the main character, is a bit uncanny.
> He's supposed to be kind of a blank slate character, but he has enough personal traits to be his own character, so he falls in kind of a weird middle ground.
Not enough traits to be it's own character, but too many for the player to properly insert themselves in the story.
- The beginning was a bit slow, but I'm glad that I kept going.
- Some key/important moments could use more art, but that's subjective.
I feel like the fact that I played the full game, reached an ending(n°3),
played again to reach another ending, and interrupted my run to write this review,
before buying it, -full price on purpose-, is the biggest praise I can give this game.
Well done, Cavemanon, you deserve the money.

Best VN I've played in a minute. However, It's made me realize that it's gonna be the only one to hit me as hard as it did, because when you've played peak, everything else looks like a valley.
