[v1.37]
All the girls are fantastic. You will be yearning for an H-Scene with each and every one of them. Problem is that the story doesn't feel like it flows very well. Originally I had written a rather irritated review on this game. But I had returned after reading some of the other reviews about bugs. I don't think I specifically ran into any bugs, but what definitely did happen was I was able to do later content, before finishing earlier content, that was very clearly needed to actually understand what, and why, a heroine or the protagonist was reacting a certain way. So there is very clearly a problem with progression in the game. Other reviewers that say you need to follow a walkthough are very correct. Without one, you will basically run into later content, before finishing stuff you should have done before hand. Or simply lock yourself out of a relationship or H-Scene with someone due to a seemingly unrelated choice in a conversation.
Also, the writer has a very bizarre idea of what corruption is, and isn't.
For Instance:
Honestly, I found this pretty fked up. On top of that, the person that this seems to happen with the most, is the Heroine that I was most looking forward to. So either Psychopathic, or sociopath are your two options for "Romance" with some of the heroines. Which really ruins the mood, cuz the game is centered around a Dating Sim environment. Yet it forces you to be a colossal creep that is fked in the head one moment, and then gentle and caring the next.
The game often feels like it should be named "Bi-Polar Express," instead of Another Chance.
Despite these major flaws the game isn't that bad. However, there is still a lot that it appears the devs want to add, and a lot that is needed. Given that this has been in development for the past 4years+, and their only at the very beginning of "Season 2," of what looks to be a length story containing at least 4 season(according to the menu layout.) It's going to be quite some time before the game is anywhere near completed. It also appears that some scenes have more details then others, and some parts of scenes are just black screens, while they describe what is likely to be a picture/scene that has yet to be added/completed. Meaning, despite being on Season 2, they will likely go back and add to Season 1, and and rework some of the art. So I'd wager this game won't be complete for at the very least, another 4 years, unless they either get a huge increase in funding, or cut down on a lot of content (which I hope they don't do.)
All in all, the game definitely has some great kinks to it, and it fairly enjoyable. However, they really need to flesh out some of -in-between- conversations that can occur, and a degree of the story progression. Some times it feels like your doing a lot of nothing, for no reason with a bunch of the fetch quests, that do almost nothing for the main story. Other times it feels like the story is being B-Lined(or hail mary'd) to progress. In other words it feels like you get a bunch of Filler, and then the Canon occurs, and it's basically a legitimate Canon, loud bang, and it's done and over with in two seconds. It is, however, possible the story will really pick up through-out season 2 and 3 for a decent finale, and possibly season 1 was just supposed to be a slice of life sorta deal to get you comfortable with the world your thrown into. But if that's the case, and it's taken them 4 years just to make the Slice of Life part of the game, then I don't even want to know how long it will take them to make the more plot heavy seasons.... Yikes.
