Played Version 2. Will use childhood friend, pink-haired girl, sister to refer to heroines (since you can change names)
Gameplay - 3/5
Passable gameplay loop, it becomes a bit repetitive, specially at the end when all you do is holding CTRL to get through the predictable cutscenes which are seemingly random but are actually scripted. The compatibility and intimacy systems are simple but it gets a bit grindy at the start until you unlock the 4x multiplier during the epilogue. Basically, the routine is pretty good, it is a bit grindy, the battles are decent but it really needed more shortcuts like choosing day of the week, skipping some more cutscenes.
Story - 3/5
The story is nothing really special but it "makes sense" and basically is fully customizable towards the end, which is a really high standard in most NTR games. To be fair, it was incomplete until the author added the epilogue stuff but it tied nicely albeit with a somewhat open-ended conclusion.
Art & Scenes - 3/5
So the art is really just decent to bad and the scenes use fairly repetitive CGs. This is however counterbalance by the "corruption"-like progression connected to the gameplay and the grand variety of scenarios you can choose to trigger. The animated scenes were nice but it is evident they are more of experimentation. The pixel art was passable but it is not a full-on experience like other works.. There needs to be some more scenes for other characters because it is evident most of the effort went to the childhood friend route; although I'd complain it also needed some more tourism area scenes, weekend dating events, behind-the-scenes different POV events, FMC refusing to go with you (afaik it only happens with pink haired girl). Other than that, hoping for an art revamp like Alchemy Fantasy R.
Characters - 3/5
At first, I didn't like them but they grew on me. I am just a little sad that most of the scenes go to the childhood friend while the others get barely much attention. To be fair, the creator has made a point that the pink haired girl is more of a really compatible friend and the sister... is well... off-limits, for obvious reasons.
Overall - 4/5. I liked it more than I thought and it is pretty nice that the author gives you some freedom of choice, although the NTR is a bit forced but I'll say that has more to do with the setting than a defect. In reality, it is a really mid game but it is not comparable to the amount of slop in this genre.
