This is a fantastic hands-on game and really lets you explore the questions and prompts in a unique way. The layout, scrap booking materials and graphics all lend itself to the theme perfectly. Many of the songs Armanda offers will unknowingly bring back a rush of memories and even the opening statements can open old hormone-filled emotions "You want to find a real love, a real connection[...]". Yeah. Ouch we've all been there and can remember feeling that!
How much of a role-playing game is this scrapbooking game? I'm not sure it's worthwhile to think about this question for too long: Teenage Angst gives us the role of a slightly withdrawn teenager who finds meaning in the lyrics of his favorite band's songs, a figure I can only identify with, and that's enough to make it interesting without trying to fit it into any box. The game is also (mostly?) worthwhile for its supplement with examples of things you can print/cut/paste into a notebook, a great concentrate of teen and timeless culture in a few pages.

This looks really interesting! Just from the look of the corebook it's clear a lot of time and effort was put into this!
Thanks for your kind words! It was a big effort, but worth it.

Give this game a serious look.
