Days with My Lonely Teacher is a short but complete game with some decent mechanics and good pacing at the start, though sadly falls short towards mid-late game.
Graphics
The game uses simple 2D artwork which is serviceable. Sometimes the faces can look weird which provides some accidental humor.
Gameplay
The gameplay is simple, mostly involving reflex-based mini-games (e.g: clicking at the right time and rock-paper-scissors) tied to different jobs you do to earn points (Literary, Physique and Art) and also earning enough money to pay for rent every Thursday ($700+). You also can study to gain Study Points which help you enroll in exams to progress the story.
You will be doing these a LOT. The money you earn will quickly be spent on items in the store that help gain passive increases in your points without needing to work, only you will always need to work to keep earning money, 'less you risk eviction and you will need to keep building up points to do their advanced events (Library promotion, sparring competition and creating better art pieces). It quickly becomes a boring grind-fest just to progress the story.
Story
The MC is very blank-slate, you create a name yourself but other-wise your character is very simple and boring. Their personality is just how horny they are for Miss Si. You’re meant to build a relationship with Miss Si, who’s written as a completely submissive character that does anything the MC wants. Her backstory is revealed over time but the interactions feel one-sided and lack any emotional depth to convince you these two are falling for each other. The “seduction” aspect that similar games often thrive on just isn’t here and feels very under-developed sadly. Although I did find Miss Si quite wholesome as a character aside from the previously mentioned issues.
NSFW Content
This is where the game also falls short on. The scenes are sparse, short and fairly basic, showing simple 2D animations with little buildup or variation. They’re too few and far between to feel rewarding and the game misses opportunities to make the NSFW moments feel earned or meaningful.
My Verdict
While it’s a stable and finished game, it was pretty forgettable as a NTR game, it plays out more as a simple romance dating-sim. The story and characters don’t stand out and the gameplay + NSFW content both felt underwhelming. Worth a play-through if you are curious but it fails to do anything memorable once you are done.
