I Wani Hug that Gator!: from jokes to people you care about

I Wani Hug that Gator!

Conversations you start by laughing at become time spent caring about someone’s future. I Wani Hug that Gator! turns its unusual-looking cast into people who can feel like friends.

Is caring for someone the same as deciding for them? Reviews find its choices memorable for questioning that distance. The cute appearance should not be mistaken for a promise of gentle endings.

What makes it fun

  1. Agree or speak up?

    Do you go along with Olivia, or tell her something she may not want to hear? The choices ask you to weigh supporting her against making decisions for her.

  2. Inco has a mind of his own

    Choices can nudge Inco, but what he says afterward is still his own. At times, what you would do and what Inco would do are different.

  3. See how they change

    Your choices lead Inco and Olivia's relationship toward different endings. Reading another ending shows where each of them grows and where they remain stuck.
