I'm wavering between 3 and 4 stars. I'm going with 4, since everything here has such inflated ratings.
This game is good: the writing is mostly solid, although it isn't special, the girls have different personalities
There are bugs aplenty. Most annoyingly, the game is sandboxy, and each girl progresses separately, AND many events occur on their own time. So some days there are events that overlap and you'll have to wait until the lower priority one comes again on a later day, and many days you have nothing to do for two of the three time periods. It's really irritating. I forget what the bugs actually are, but I remember that they relate to this.
While I don't particularly like all of the girls - in fact I dislike some - you are given the option to not have sex with them, which is nice.
There are mild consent issues - things that wouldn't be illegal, but wouldn't exactly be clearly ethical. That is pretty common in these games, but still a minus. And sometimes there isn't a way to slow things down and get proper affirmative consent. Again, not uncommon, but a negative to be certain: I'm bothered less by the presence of unethical options than I am by the occasional lack of ethical options.
