Ren'Py - DropOut Saga [v0.12.0b] [LazyBloodlines]

It starts out pretty rough in terms of gameplay, it felt like it was going for a sandbox, which it later abandoned, but it gets better, switching to more of a normal VN format.

It's an often heavy story, though it doesn't always pull off the scenes, it gets mostly better at it as it goes.

A story-heavy mafia-school drama with a compelling split-personality MC, held back by a glacial pace and a frustrating lack of intimate payoff.

+ Gripping, Well-Told Story: The narrative is consistently praised as "intriguing," "top-notch," and "one of the very best." The internal dialogue with the MC's "dark side" is a standout feature mentioned by many.
+ Complex, Mature Characters: The cast is a major strength, with reviewers highlighting "well-written," "multi-dimensional" LIs and a "capable," "mature adult" MC who stands out from typical protagonists.
+ High-Quality Visuals & Presentation: The game uses detailed Honey Select renders, smooth animations, and subtle facial expressions to convey emotion and advance the story effectively, noted as a "fresh air" in the genre.

– Glacial Romantic Pace: This is the #1 complaint. For a 3+ year old game, the sexual content is extremely limited, focusing almost exclusively on two LIs and leaving a large cast of introduced girls completely untouched, which multiple reviews call "underwhelming" and "frustrating."
– Pacing & Identity Crisis: The plot drifts from its initial "corrupting headmaster" premise into a broader mafia story.
– The Pain of Potential: The slow update cycle and minimal NSFW progress for a large cast make the wait for meaningful content feel especially long, a common sentiment in the feedback.

DropOut Saga is a must-play for players who prioritize a deep, well-crafted story and complex characters over frequent lewd content. If you're here for a quick harem fix, the slow burn will likely extinguish your interest.

Wow! Just wow! What an amazing game! ... That's what I thought after first several hours.

There's a thrilling story that gives sometimes goosebumps, sometimes laugh, sometimes smile. It's really entertaining and one of the best plots to my taste with capable MC that takes care about important people in his life. I also like the idea of talking with myself. It's much better than descriptions of feeling or regular thoughts, which I sometimes skip in other games as they're usually the most boring part of the story. There are some illogical things however, like what the hell is with MCs phone battery. It dies often, when it's needed. Dude, you can afford a good new one and it's literally a matter of life to keep it charged, but of course phone appeared to be charged just after sex scene and shower (yeah, I bet he thought of going to room and charging phone in a middle of the night just before shower). Or when LIs are waiting for MC at a cold winter night sitting/sleeping on a ground in front of house. I mean, it's sweet and it's not a 2 meters snow winter and -30 ° C, but just give them a god damn blanket or at least jackets instead of pyjamas and shorts.

If it comes to LIs this game offer several great females. Everyone is different and their issues aren't turning them into bitches what I very appreciate after one of previous titles I went through. They're literally all very well written and they may be one of the best "casts" I met in harem porn games. But... there always have to be some but. It's quite unbalanced slow burner and I expected a bit more diversity in sex partners for over 3 years old game. It has scenes with only 2(3) LIs. There's a lot of talking with girls and I like that part (actually, romance and dating sim were the main reasons I picked this title), but in that pace we'll find MC having something serious with them in next decade. There are just too many LIs introduced in one time and with so slow pace there's no chance to develop sexual relationships with them.

Graphics are on very high level. I'm not a fan of Honey Select, but I can appreciate details, smoothness and proportions. They're just very pretty compared to other HS games. Dev also decided that it's better to put some more effort and visualize as many things as possible instead of writing what's going on. It's not always possible, but looking on what's happening instead of reading "girl is scratching her hair", "MC tickles girls" or "she's nervously looking around" is a nice breathe of fresh air in porn games.
The only graphic flaw for me is that the faces look all similar. Lila to Asuna and Ingrid or Jasmin to Sophia, but of course Jasmin don't look like Julie and they're sisters. At the beginning I even thought Lila and Asuna were twins.

Ok... so why only 4 stars? Story and characters are really amazing and I like graphics, but over 3 years old games and with some LIs MC is on level of hugging or kissing in cheek. Tons of text and learning characters, more like in a book or SFW game. Still recommending this for everyone who likes to play for the story and I'd start it again, if I could rewind time, but for me it's just not enough for 5 stars, if it comes to so long and old game. Hope to change my review in future, but looking on updates frequency it may not be too early.

This game is pretty great - maybe not perfect, but certainly deserving 5 stars. The story, world building and dialog are all very good. The characters are varied and very hot. There isn't a ton of variety visually, but enough to keep things interesting.

My only real (minor) gripe would be that sometimes the story feels like it's getting bogged down with too much dialog and exposition. Despite the fact that I like the story, I'm still tempted to hit the ctrl key sometimes to move things along.

My other minor (not-so-real) complaint is that earlier dialog had the MC giggling.... This MC is not a giggler.

This has been a great find. The story telling is top notch. It has me really invested in learning what happens next. It has also been refreshing to have an MC who is a mature adult lol. I really hope dev continues the momentum. The artwork is fantastic It would be great to see this story out.

Yet another game where getting all the girls is far from the most absurd thing and there's not even any magic involved this time so that's kind of impressive.
The most absurd part is how dramatic everything is and some of the drama is quite cliché but I don't even mind that, it might even feel like a guilty pleasure, the only issue is the quantity.
Overall I did enjoy it but I think that it would be a better story if the author would just dial back the drama from 11 to 9 and that alone would make 4 starts for me.
Does it make sense for the author to make it 4 stars for people like me or to keep what others clearly already enjoy more than I did? In many ways, maybe not, but if the main goal was to improve quality, it seems like a good direction to me.

DropOut Saga is a gripping visual novel that masterfully explores themes of ambition, betrayal, and survival. With stunning art, a deeply emotional narrative, and complex character development, it pulls you into a dark, unforgiving world where every choice matters. It’s a bold, unforgettable story that leaves a lasting impact.

This game has some decent visuals, but it fails to deliver in other key areas that make it a clear skip.

Mechanically it's clear the dev doesn't know how they want to build the game, as you can see the game switch between a VERY rudimentary sandbox and long-winded story segments without warning. I can understand the dev is figuring out where they want to take the game, but as a first impression it leaves much to be desired. This issue also messes with the pacing since the framing of the game as a "school headmaster corrupting the students" seems to be left at the wayside pretty fast in favor of some kind of "home life" being created for the MC, which IMO is not necessary.

The story presents some interesting ideas, like the MC having a literal "dark side" that he has to contend with, but besides that I feel the plot puts its fingers into too many pies without executing any of them particularly well:
- Perverted headmaster? There are games for that.
- Mafia plot? There are games for that.
- "Adopting" a wayward girl after a chance encounter and creating a pseudo-family? There's a game for that too.
These plot points are also not well integrated at all, resulting in an already slow story being progressed between three actual plots. The result is a glacially slow pacing that wastes your time. For reference, I started skimming near the end of the Prologue, and by Chapter 1 I was straight-up skipping to see if there was any sex.

This leads me to the NSFW scenes- simply put, they're decent. The visuals in the screenshots are what you get, but the time it takes to get there is not worth it.

There's also not enough sex scene diversity; 75% of the game's sex scenes are with the same woman over and over again, and the other 25% includes a few with the girl you "adopt" and one with a woman from your past. THERE ARE NO SCENES WITH THE GIRLS AT THE SCHOOL (as of 0.12.0b). Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a slow burn, but the fact is there's nothing "burning" with two thirds of the cast. The entire point of a harem is variety, and the game is not delivering on that.

The best I can say about this game is that you *might* like the story, but if you're looking for anything else it's not worth your time.

I'm torn on this game, but overall unfortunately I don't think I'd really recommend it.

Let's start with the good. I personally enjoy harem games, and you meet many fun potential LIs in the prologue. The story is interesting enough. It's basically a teacher-student AVN, but the MC also has ties to the mafia. Honestly not sure if this is a great blend, but the thing I like the most is the MC has a 'bad influence' inner voice that also shows up in scenes and talks to you. I like this idea a lot, and I think the MC grappling with himself and his other half is well executed.

After a while though these positives wear thin. Despite meeting those interesting LIs, basically all of the NSFW scenes are with the same 2 characters over and over. I also don't really like sandbox games. I prefer straightforward AVNs with some branching if well done. I think some sandbox games work, but not this one. Just in the prologue the dev explains all these different features and menus, but then half of them don't do anything/are planned for later implementation. Seems like the dev is biting off more than they can chew. It would be better for the game to just be more focused instead of spreading itself so thin.

V0.12.0b

if i was to pay a developer to work with me on bringing one of my visions to life, it would be this one. hands down, no second thoughts.
been here on this site on one account or another since it was a month old and this is the first developer i feel this way about.
don't get me wrong, there are some really good games and VN's on this site but few have me feeling and fewer still have me so completely hooked that i actively get excited about an update. the amount that can make me drop all plans when an update drops? one hand with fingers left over for the count.
high praise from this fussy old bar steward with picky taste.
AND my favourite tag is not even here....holy sheep biscuits!!

sure there are a few slips like the lack of a proof reader, but the few errors or missing words are few and far between, which i am normally very unforgiving of. i am not any less of an arsehole so don't go getting ideas
some of the scenes are brilliant and i think to myself 'yes! this dev gets it' and then the next erotic scene the choices of shot are anything BUT intimate and i think 'ok i thought too soon'.
imagine you have a foot fetish (i don't personally as i am repulsed but we are all different....you fucking weirdos ). you get a scene where the shots are of individual toes and soles of the feet and then comes the NEXT erotic scene and every shot is the top of someone's head. yep we go from action shots to wallpaper shots. minor flaw but to me, not erotic so breaks a tiny bit of flow for me.

otherwise, it is bloody hard NOT to be absorbed by this. not reached current content yet as my most recent PC has windows 11 so i have had to resort back to an older (like me) model, but it is NOT a bad thing having to start anew, it is an actual pleasure. look through my review history and see how fucking rare THAT is.

amazing job dev. a decent plot exceptional in delivery and pacing. if i die with a boner then just know you had a hand in it....or on it
you lucky devil you haha
truly, thank you

Game version: 0.12.0b

Story-wise, it's one of the very best games I have ever played on F95.
While the plot is nothing special (Mainly a harem game, mixted with "Pervy headmaster corrupting all of the students" and "Apex killer hunted by his past").
The presentation, on the other side, is top-notch: Reasonable most of the time, intriguing af, displays both dominant and soft sides of the MC (while most games only focus on the MC being bad-assed and overpowered all of the time..), it shows a lot of effort put into each NPC's "lore"/ background story and personality, it has politics, romance, brutality and the exact tiny amount of NON-cringe humor in it that I like.
It made me laugh, almost cry and always pinned me to the screen. Bravo.
Also also like the fact that the developer emphasizes micro-expressions/ facial expressions so much. It reminds me of old school thrillers and times of drama acting where skill was more important than prestige.

The visual quality is still "good" in 2025, although it's clearly showing its age. The animations are fluid and offer a little bit of variation (= positions).

I do NOT like the current UI, it's too tiny and the placement of the buttons is not optimal, especially inside the MC's office. The old UI in the Prologue was so much better, I'd gladly have it back.
While the developer still adjusts a lot (adding new menus, buttons etc.), but the buttons remain too small.

Another criticism is the fact that this game has is in active development since 2022.. and while it certainly has a large plot to follow/ play trough already, the scene-department is still way too tiny: I count a total of just 9 (!) sex scenes. And these nine sex scenes are only and with the same two LI's from the MC's harem. This is what I call "content" and it's very underwhelming.

The soundtrack was good at first, but the few tracks keep repeating themselves too often (= playlist is too small to be justified).


TLDR: Definitely and highly recommend if you took the time to dig into the story.

4.5/5

One of the most intriguing games out there with such complex and compelling story in which youll be guessing in your sit what will happen next. Interested in the mafia world, then this game will be for you. A game in which you feel the A Scenes are not forced and do belong to how the story progress and not out of nowhere.

Story: 10/10
Character Desgin: 9/10
Story Pace: 8.5/10
A Scene: 8/10

This VN itself is pretty intruiging. The artwork is great and the characters are very likeable. I am not the biggest fan of the story / background since it is pretty average and nothing new. (mafia mob fights - MC wants to get out of there - has to do one last job - sorrow and revenge vibes for the MC) However I see the effort the devs did there, so kudos to them. Also the MC himself is a pretty cool character.

The Prologue is old and a bit boring - not a lot of stuff happening here - but needed for the background story.

Sex scenes are great, but right now there are most likely only scenes with you and your companions... the VN ends where it gets more interesting with the different interactable characters that are totally 18 years old.

All characters have a love and lust stat which you can influence with your choices, however the choices dont seems to make such a hugh difference at the current state of this game - probably something that will have a bigger impact far in the story.

I am looking forward for this game - however I think there is still a lot of content that has to come. For me it feels like we are like 15% in the story.

(Review for v0.11.1b - (Prologue for 0.6.9.a))

For a First Game i need to say its really good!
You see how much work and thoughts flowed in this Game.
How the producer of this game is learning and doing better with time.

The first few long conversations were a little hard to keep track because you werent hooked to have interests to read everything but later in game you are more hooked and the conversations are more interesting and important for the reader.

Something that triggered me too was the Faces.
They tend to be similiar what made it for me hard to seperate random dudes like officers or russians.
Or Julie and Yasmin (or Jasmine? idk) but you see the names and later you see the differences and its easier. So maybe my Problem .

But i like the enviroment, the Story, the Girls, the badass MC and the animations.
Not like eternum lvl but still good.
I would like more NSFW animations (depending on situations) more POV or from further away.

Thank you for this game and I hope I am not dropping your motivation and you stay positive with your Work because I learned here things and I dont think i am alone.
I am not writing often reviews with much detail (here, I need... I just wanted to give 5 stars and say some words )

I want the see how the Story goes in the future and I will wait and look once in a while and be happy to read and see more. Thanks for your work and stay positive! <3

DropOut Saga [v0.11.1b] [LazyBloodlines]

Good stuff, I'm following this project for quite some time and still coming back for more. Updates aren't fast, story is okay and sometimes pretty interesting, HS2 models and animations look great, some characters can steal the show and MC is quite looker too.
Can't wait to see a new update, support the dev.

Story - 3,7/5. I'm intersted in it. Tho, some moments can be cringe asf, still like it.
Choices - 2,7/5. Points.
Gameplay - 3/5. Semi-kinetic VN.
Characters - 3,5/5. Not super deep, but I care about them.
MC - 3,9/5 I like him.
Models/animations/textures - 4,3/5

The Prologue was great and with excitement i jump into the game. It turns out to be running around in circles with young adults which have nothing to do with his mission being a head master. The story telling does not make any scenes.
None of the choices lead to geting the MC back on track .... choices are all on love tri-angle only.

What has Jasmin got to do with the mission? No connections at all so as Ashly & the half Japanese. His mission is to establish political connection and the only person is the mayor’s daughter. The police chief son turns out to be a dick, so i really don’t know where this game is heading too. Maybe a harem of college students?

The second self is a pain in the ass... making irritating commends. A single conversation with one character takes 5 to 10 minutes which has no influence in the game just beating around the jungle to pass time.
The two women in the house behavior is ridicules asking question every time the MC walks into the house. That nerd Ava wants to know everything regardless of how new she is to the house. I suspect she must be hiding something. The sex scenes are repeated with these two women and a dead woman & already boring.
Now Isebella comes join the house which has nothing to do with Packs or Russians.
I recommend to dialogues are cut down to improve the game and focus on the mission rather than spending so much time on students not connected to the mission.
I am not sure why no investigation on the man who shoot him.... Nothing so far on that... I was expecting something that, but nothing so far.

UI 3/5

DropOut Saga is the Goo Goo Dolls of AVNs. A great start, with raw and unrefined inspiration, that after the prologue turns into a samey drizzle of words, easily replaceable by any other cardboard cutout Mary Sue.
The story revolves around a 7 foot tall mountain of pure Belgian Blue muscle penis, attached to an equally impressive man. This man has an angsty past in the mafia (but it turns out he's actually your run of the mill tortured hero white knight who always does the right thing), trying to get out of the mafia (who are somehow also the good guys in this crazy world), and has to perform a final service. What is that service? He has to smash hot puss. That's right, his forced job is to get installed as the headmaster of a prestigious school of rich and indubitably hot barely legal teens, smash that hot puss (which MC is the best in the world at), and gather enough dirt on the teens to extort and blackmail their influential parents (which MC is the best in the world at). Fortunately our hero is an absolute expert on running a school, and this turns out quite easy for him. Unfortunately, our mafia hero's enormous sense of justice and morality gets in the way, and life gets complicated as our hero can not help but do the right thing again and again no matter the cost to himself and to the ones he loves.

Story
The story starts off great. A grounded idea in a contained setting with plenty of hooks and possibilities. The world is reduced to home and the college our MC is the new head(receiving)master of. Pacing is fine, and the "sandbox" is quick enough and efficient enough. Small events taking place inside and outside the college move both the college story and the hero origin story forward.
But suddenly something changes. The college and sandbox as an entity disappears and the game turns into a more kinetic novel. No worries, the story still works even though our hero becomes slightly more cardboard-exposition type (you know the kind - a lifeless character that explains every action and details the path of his reasoning like a soul-less AI). Maybe the dev wanted to quickly finish the prologue? It's a shame, the beginning of the prologue, though showing clear signs of an inexperienced dev, was a great idea and the rough diamond was obvious. Then comes chapter 1 - and it's worse in every way. It feels mass produced and without any thought put into it. The story gets boring and now feels like a teenager's interpretation of House of Cards mixed with some absurd conspiracy Youtube channel about extreme masculinity, possibly including eating raw onions and spraying lead based paint on your scrotum every thursday. The MC loses his charm and personality - the cardboard exposition gets worse and the MC can now only jump between states of supreme Alpha dominance, master of conversation and politics, tortured hero guilt, and endless exposition cardboard cutout. The side characters join together to form a singularity of personality and can no longer be differentiated without the use of the name in the text box. There are also some things missed, like how an allegedly American city can be run by x number of gangs without the federal government intervening, how no one can leave without getting hunted down and killed even though the gangs have very limited power, how a citywide gang war didn't attract any attention, how one side of the city can live in peace and ignorance while the other side is basically an ongoing turf war, and so on.
The story progression is a sad scenario, as the first half of the prologue was inspired and showed enormous promise. I would rate the good part a 5, but that is not where the story is currently.

Characters
Unlike the story, the characters start of okay at best. The college characters are pretty good, but the first main LI (Sophia) immediately gives of the teenager wet dream vibes. An 18 (or possibly 21) year old surgeon with extensive combat experience, who after years of work in the field became a freelancer. Did I mention she's 18 (or 21)? Oh, and if you thought she was just a GP kind of physician you were wrong - she's had plenty of time to become a surgeon and after that to specialize in brain surgery after the war was over (which war is left to the imagination). And also she loves the MC and will do anything for him. She's also a classic goofball.
The next girl introduced gets blunt force trauma to the head, then gets a home-made brain surgery in our MC's bathroom using two rubber ducks and a twizzler in true MacGyver style (MC is the best surgeon in the world), and then gets her head shaken and smacked around a few times. Don't worry though, she's perfectly fine. Everyone knows none of that stuff is dangerous. She also falls in love with MC in all of 20 seconds, and has 0 personality. She just wants to hang around like a puppy and do anything and everything for MC.
Then chapter 1 happens, and characters become more uniform and one-dimensional. The previously shy girl in college becomes a master of politics and business, surpassing everyone except MC in guile and veiled conversation, resulting in one of those silly and immersion-breaking characters (much like the classic ninja-assassin-teen-girl).
The way all characters throw themselves at MC destroys a lot of the immersion as well. I suspect they would all fall in love with an AI chat bot if given the opportunity.

It's a bit weird how no one knows anything about MC, and how MC deflects all questions about his past, yet no one pushes for him to actually answer any questions. Everyone simply accepts that he is a deeply mysterious and unlikely character in that position, even though many of them talk about how important it is to figure others out in "the game of politics", or for safety. It's a personality paradox, and MC gets away with whatever he wants no matter how discordant that it is with the story or the setting.
MC also frequently has alone time to discuss matters with his schizophrenic "other side", where he talks like an emo and over-analyzes things in serious tones. In the beginning this works great (as it is relevant to the story and atmosphere for the time), but it eventually becomes something to skip over as it is the same
- "we have to take care of it"
- "I won't let you harm her she's innocent"
- "I'm the only one looking out for us while you risk our life for a girl"
- "I don't care I can't let any harm befall my girls because of me, not again"
series of responses again and again.
Oh, something that doesn't really matter but bothered me immensely: once MC starts saying "I have a lot on my plate right now", he keeps reiterating that phrase again and again.
A classical pitfall, MC is best at everything always and ever. He beats a 4 time world champion in swordfighting without even trying, his impromptu ad lib speech at the college is a true Churchill level inspiration to all students even though it's nothing but unrelated platitudes regarding an unrelated matter that wouldn't even get a conceded pass in communication 101. He always knows what to do and the only time he loses his shit is when any woman in the world is mistreated, at which point he has to white knight the shit out of any russian in the vicinity. His penis is so humongous it should be in the Guiness book of world records. He can take two shots through the lungs, flatline, and then be resuscitated some 30-50 minutes later and *still* be up and fistfighting angry russians the day after (MC is the best at fistfighting). No biggie. In short, the MC is a Mary Sue deus ex machina, and nothing will ever matter in this VN because our protagonist can skullfuck an M1A1 Abrams to death while reciting the entirety of Carl Orff's Carmina burana in the original Klingon (and he doesn't even speak Klingon, that's how fucking great he is).

Writing
The writing starts off with low quality grammar and high quality delivery, yet ends with medium quality grammar and low quality delivery. The initial writing is solid for displaying MC's wider, and as of yet not explained, personality, as well as the characteristics of the characters around him. As the story moves along, this style of writing is continously supplanted by more stilted AI-level exposition from all directions. I would add that as the allegedly "political" characters gets introduced, the writing also degrades into a weird attempt at some kind of overly serious James Bond style quipping. The attempted hidden meanings and subtexts aren't subtle or clever, nor does it make sense to use that style of communication if the characters also A) signal that they are doing the subtext thing and B) directly explain what they mean in the next render. (MC is the best in the world at this if you were wondering)
On a positive note, the use of facial expressions and different eye colors to signify emotions, sometimes during the text and sometimes separately, is a solid addition to the text. It allows the reader to add interpretation which is always a good thing, it reduces the text needed while still conveying more than enough information, and it makes the characters more human. It's also a lot more expressive and universal than the cheek flushing. Well done.

Graphics
While never great, graphics start at bad in the prologue and end up decent in chapter 1. The use of honey select here doesn't seem like a great choice, as every female character (and also MC) looks Japanese, while they are explained to be English, German, American, half Japanese, and so forth. The story also unfolds in an allegedly American city, which adds to the confusion. Graphics aren't the centerpiece of this VN though, and so it's not a significant flaw.

Audio
The music choices are fine, and more or less convey the atmosphere needed. Sounds are few, but also work as intended.

UI
UI in the first part of the prologue is a bit shaky, but that improves in the later half, and the UI elements in the later part of chapter 1 feel high quality (although they do not serve a purpose yet).

Summary
DropOut Saga is a tale of what could have been a truly great VN given time, but instead became a one-hit wonder, showing enormous potential that faded over time, into an average VN. If I could, I would rate the first part a 5 and everything after a 2. I truly hope the dev finds his roots for this story, as he has shown that he has the capacity to create something extraordinary.

Great game! I just finished the prologue, and it started off strong. The main character (MC) is really cool, and the story concept is intriguing. I love how you can choose between the MC’s two sides "Good" and "Evil." It adds a nice layer of depth and replayability.

I was initially worried about the sandbox feature, fearing it might be overwhelming or tedious. But when I reached that part, it turned out to be very straightforward and simple. Once I discovered I could consult the MC’s "other self" for guidance, everything flowed smoothly. Honestly, the sandbox aspect isn’t a big deal in the prologue it’s practically non-existent, which I actually appreciate.

The characters in the game are fantastic there isn’t a single one I dislike. Each girl has her own unique personality, reacts differently to your choices, and has an engaging backstory so far. I’m looking forward to diving into the main game in the coming days. For now, though, I’d say the developer has done an excellent job. Well done!

The writing is so cringe it is painful to continue reading. In the first 10 minutes I have somehow found dirt on 2 separate boyfriends and given the girlfriends the same lines.

And the writing on the female characters feels too woodento ever create a believable character.

The visuals do look good though.

This AVN modulates between Average and Good for me. I like the concept and for the most part, I like the MC. He's a badass but he is not perfect.

I think I actually liked the prologue better as far the corruption/love aspects were concerned. The newer version seems to have basically given up on it and that's too bad. The story has moved away from the school and has started focusing more on the events happening outside the school.

Also, this game suffers from the typical Honey Select problems where the animation is top notch, but the girls all look exactly the same, but hard to blame that on the dev.

The renders, scene blocking and pacing are all pretty good, but I wonder if this is an older version of HS as the images are not as crisp as I have seen in other HS AVNs.

As far as the story is concerned, there is plenty of content but you can start to see a little bit of a drift. The dev has really moved from the original storyline of headmaster to something else. It's not bad, but the change in direction is, well, disappointing.

IDK... the dev is talented and the story is unique so I am giving it 4 stars instead of 3. I just worry about the direction of the game in general.

Good luck to a talented developer.
