Very very strong start. Very promising.
Yeah the comparsion to being a dik lies near in some way. And of course the developer noticed that, there are some references to being a dik (calling out one group around the academy dicks was obviously a reference to Dik).
But besides the college setting and that the MC is a poor guy aswell there are not too many matches...
The Charactres here are way more deeper, maybe to many Charactres with a deep Background story, could be overwhelming in the long run to make progress in the development to spend enough time for all charactres.
I love this game so far, very good writing, very good looks. And every Charactre is interesting and most of them very likeable or even loveable. Will be hard to make a choice between the girls... Ashley and Jenny are awesome and the relationship with the MCs is kinda very deep from the start off. What i like so far the most... its not supposed to be a "fap" game. And to me it seems that there will be clearly a "one-path" story with one of the girls, cause at this early state of the game you have to choose between the girls which one you will dating... cant go for them all, not even for two. After Chapter one you can only get for one girl the most points. I like that.
Hopefully the development will make fast progress, already signed up as a patreon.
