Like many classic teenage love stories, young and nerdy teenager Jeremy will give anything to improve his high school social status and date his longtime crush, Christina Cangilda. However, Be More Chill involves an interesting Sci-Fi twist: Jeremy makes a questionable pact with SQUIP- a supercomputer processor which is set on taking over the world.
While SQUIP certainly helps improve his social standing at high school, as it instructs him on how to dress, act and talk, he learns that this deal comes at a cost and that being himself perhaps isn’t the worst thing after all…Getting there:
