Hmmm... Just finished playing this one. I've got to say that, in spite of the fact that I find the girls are rather plain-looking, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It is extremely well-written, with a lot of good-natured humor. The use of visual effects in the renders is outstanding. Best of all, the writer draws me in to empathize with the characters. On the empathy front, the writing approaches that of Haley's Life. [From my personal point of view, that is extremely high praise.] I wind up really caring about them and about what will happen to them.
I will be waiting with anticipation for the next 'real' release.
