Anyone who says this isn't an amazing game is A Neanderthal and doesn't understand peak aesthetics and game design. its hard to believe those people actually graduated... well they probably didn't soo you get my point, any bad review is just a dogshit take from a post covid weeb.

I have cried countless times over the same character, and different characters. The music is great the vibe is great the story line is great, I feel like I know the characters and why they keep pushing on, AND UGHHH the design is beautiful. I hope to see more games like this in the future.
I played most endings, but I don't have the mental resilience to go through the remaining endings. One day I will play them when I'm ready to be a puddle of snot and tears again. Bring your favorite sweet treat and a pillow to hug. You'll need it.

A game that i thought would be a simple dating sim ended up being a lot deeper than expected... It explores mortality and mental health very deeply and beautifully. It's portrayal of the struggles of the girls felt very realistic and well handled, even when going into riskier territory. The messaging was super sweet and hopeful.
I think the writing, and the utterly gorgeous art, are the highlights of this game.
The soundtrack is also really nice and fitting for the game, making different flavors is super fun, the different endings are all different and emotionally impactful.
Only thing I'd really critique is that strangely enough the sprites aren't scaled correctly, making them blurry in the one-on-one discussion events. What makes that extra strange is that i swear there were a couple of times where they were properly scaled and the pixels were clear, but then went back to being slightly blurred? Oh well, it's disappointing because the art is so pretty, but again it's not something too terribly bothersome.
Overall, wonderful game that easily became one of my favorites. Can't recommend Hookah Haze enough C:

I picked this up on sale for less than full price, and honestly? It was worth it. The game runs about 10 hours total—I unlocked every achievement in that time—but I did start to feel the repetition creeping in near the end.
That said, Hookah Haze is a solid visual novel with more depth than I expected. It explores some raw and relatable struggles, especially the messy reality of being in your twenties—navigating heartbreak, identity, burnout, and yes, even coming to terms with death. It’s heavy at times, but grounded in emotional honesty.
What really sold me, though? The art and music. That dreamy, vaporwave-kawaii aesthetic? Chef’s kiss. The soundtrack sets the mood perfectly, and the visuals are just… addictive. I could stare at the UI forever.
Overall, if you’re into cozy chaos with a side of existential dread—and want something visually stunning—this one’s worth a shot.
