    Writing this review after the 0.2 release.

    Settings 3/5

    - pretty standard, nothing new in terms of settings

    Story 4/5:

    - Well, this is a new take that I haven't seen anywhere else and I really like it. No teacher or anything, a psychologist working undercover to investigate the school, nice. So far a slow build up of the case, bringing something new to it in both releases, so this is going at a steady pace.

    Characters 5/5:

    - I think this is the highlight of the game so far. Lots of interesting characters with lots of different backstories and struggles that we're slowly learning more about - and those struggles are pretty heavy in some cases. Tia's story, Demi's story, damn, those were touching. And I suppose we will be learning about the other girls soon, since most of them have been given a few hints so far. I like the steady pace they are presented with, no rush at the beginning and then a burnout when that arc is resolved quickly.

    Renders 3/5:

    - Some are interesting, some could definitely use some work. But I can see improvements from the developer.

    Sex scenes 1/5

    - Only one scene to talk about so far, but I expect that the dev wants to go for the slower relationship development instead of instant smut, so if you're here for a quick fap, you won't get it before you know the characters.

    Soundtrack: 4/5

    - Some familiar soundtracks, some I haven't heard anywhere else. It's a nice change. Also, the sound effects added where necessary add a nice touch.

    Overall: 4/5

    - I think this is a promising project if the developer can keep it at this level and hopefully improve it. The promise is interesting and I will continue to follow it.
