(This is my first review-in the genre of adult games in general even though I've been playing these games for a good while. Other game(s) was going to be my "cherry popper" but oh well.. things and priorities change)
I don't belong in the "tough crowd" category, I'm no Simon Cowell. If there is a compelling story and hawt grills, I can more than enjoy it. And let me start by saying.. this one overdelivers on both.
There's a plethora of girls (and something tells me there's bound to be more) that covers pretty much every taste. They fascinate you as characters and you want to learn more about who they are, what do they want from life. Although there's a good effort to evenly split their screen time (which is surely something hard to achieve) you're left with a bittersweet taste regarding some (more Jill pretty please). But I'm confident that, in the long run, you'll get to know the ins and outs (literally) of every one of them and go for the one(s?) you want.
Story is a very realistic simulation of college life. Main character is largely relatable (except maybe this "plot convenient dumb luck" being around so many ravishing beauties). There are twists you'd expect and others you wouldn't. Choice system is very well organized. Mini-games are a wide range and enjoyable and some even give useful rewards. Visual novel elements are well structured ("just reading a bunch of text" before "you jumb back to action" is negligible to non-existent).
Visuals and art are greatly pleasing, adding to the immersive experience. The music is another great thing about the game (I tried searching for the one that stood out way above the rest and gave me an earworm as "til tomorrow til tomorrow" but couldn't find it, got lucky from the in-game music tab lol). Also really appreciate the humor at times (the intro,
"SILENCE!" looooool).
While I do have some moot points, particularly how the main character reacts at certain points (like a girl/spoiled brat) and a larger degree of freedom in some ways would be greatly appreciated (like, what you can type in texts/social media), they don't affect my view.
This is overall an exceptionally well made game, from all aspects. Big kudos to all who worked and keep working on it, I tip my hat. Greatly recommend to everyone. I'd put 10 stars if I could.
P.S. Don't feel the need to rush and finish it, wouldn't mind if it kept getting updated forever and ever
