So... i've been playing this game for a couple of hours now and i really felt the need to put my thoughts and opinions on the game into words.
Clearly this game has a lot of sandbox and management elements, it IS the core gameplay mechanic of the game. Some ppl like that, some ppl hate it with a passion and i'm gonna leave that particular discussion out of this. Honestly i think the management and skill system is actually pretty good and for the most part, it feels reasonably well balanced. Earning some money is pretty slow in the beginning but i haven't really needed it so far other then for food and stamina items. I definitly like the skill check system as well, reminds me a lot of table top games like D&D or Call of Cthulhu. That being said the management system is pretty expansive and there are a LOT of stats to keep track of which again might be off putting to some ppl.
Next is the story and it's pretty bare bones really, the usual "guy goes to college (with a little twist) and meets lot's of girls to romance" but it's enough and like i said it's not what this game is about. It's all about that gameplay loop to unlock the different events with the girls. And, in those events the dialogue and writing is actually really good imo, which makes up for the lack of that overarching story that usually drives the more VN style games. Especially considering it is mentioned the dev is not a native english speaker, i've rarely come across any grammar or spelling errors so far and if it hadn't been mentioned i would have just assumed he was english.
As for the girls, there isn't much not to like, for me at least. If you're into young and cute college girls there's more then enough of them here and i still have to unlock a lot of the main LI's in my playthrough according to the tracker. I like the models used and the girls all seem to have their own personality's as well. I feel a lot of those personality's have that anime characteristic to them and i like that but if you're not into anime you might not, something that comes down to personal preference i guess.
All in all there's a lot positives here so why doesn't the game have a bigger following? Well the biggest flaw for me comes down to the balance between all that management work you have to do and the rewards you get for it. There's no animations, and i get that either the resources or the skill to make those might not be there (yet) but even without those the sex scenes could have been so much more. Most only consist out of 2 or 3 renders and while the dialogue is describing what is happening none of that is being reflected on the screen... And it sucks honestly, the girls are hot, the posing is good and the renders that are there are even of pretty good quality... There's just needs to be much much more of them!
I feel there's potential here and i hope to see that in future updates. Though i still have a lot to go through in the current version of the game as far as i can tell (another positive btw, plenty of content) but this is my opinion for now. Might even write this up as a review when i've played some more but i'm really struggeling on what score i would give the game atm, even so the fact that i want to keep playing is saying someting...
