Another good surprise!
Writing is more than decent. Characters have all interesting backstories and each have their own personality, they all feel different. the banter between all characters is great. the flirting is sweet and witty. even MC's brother has some good lines and moments even though he is a huge pervert.
but the one that is in charge of coding might want to check it all again. the game is riddled with bugs. Seems the coder is confusing assignment and incrementation for variables. some of the variable names had typos too.
Fans of Catherine, especially, will never be able to get on her route in the current state.
MC's past seems to be massively traumatic. Probably had a famous athlete for a father, that got injured and fell into alcohol and started beating his wife, and maybe kids. The 3 siblings all seem gifted with good genes for sports.
We can probably speculate that the mayor either knew their father (maybe as a fan or a close friend) and knew their past, and chose them for the scholarship as a way to support them somehow. or the mayor is the one trying to court their mother (maybe she saved his life or took care of him in the hospital without prejudice) and he wanted to support her and her kids.
All the LIs seem to have some kind of bad past too. Except maybe Susanne that only got a long time crush on MC, who is completely oblivious to it, and had to endure seeing him with his ex all these years.
We haven't seen MC's ex, but I felt like she might be Carlos' sister or something like that.
Mina also seems pretty chill, so the fact that she insisted heavily on not getting any commitment going at all might be her flaw. like she had a bad experience in her first few relationships, and now is very afraid to get actual intimacy and engagement in any kind of serious relationship.
I'm glad that MC's sister is actually beautiful and we won't try to get in her pants for once
seems like a great girl. there are hints that she might be a lesbian with the comments from the twitter-like app.
damn, no incest and a beautiful lesbian. this game will get massive hate
One of these days I played a VN that had Kiara's model, and I forgot to mention it here. Worse, I forgot which VN it was. Do any of you remember?
maybe the grey dream ? that game has top tier renders, but really bad story.
End of EP 4 Kiara path. I am guessing that after talking to her sister(?) on the phone who can manage the mother, this image shows Kiara doesn't mind being seen with MC.
Yes she is pretty, but besides that, I like her.

She just asked him out on an actual date. it's pretty safe to say she doesn't mind being seen with him. unless that date will be in her private sex dungeon
but her sister clearly pushed her to live her own life a little. beautiful and significant moment just for that.
will be fun to see how her mother reacts to MC at first, and then afterwards when he becomes the QB that wins the championship for the college.
especially the scar on her back and why she hates Emily
I thought about that a bit. Felt there was some kind of accident, where Kiara got her scar, and Emily could have done something to help but didn't without realizing it. if they were both much younger, then it makes sense that she wouldn't know how to help or even wouldn't react and be shocked ?
Or just the usual bullying, as Kiara transferred in the local school only a few years back because of some drama that forced her family to move out of their previous city. Emily either could have stepped in and didn't, or didn't help, or didn't want to stand out.
But there is that scene where she waves to some girls that completely ignore her, so maybe she has tried to fit in in the past, and did something to Kiara, but I hope not.
might be the same scene, but we also see her walking around town and being sad that she can't join any of the small groups of young people hanging out.
so huge loneliness at the moment for her. she probably knew and used to hang out with all of these people before.
We see her in a completely empty house, without any family photo at all. Was she left behind by her family because of a scandal/drama ? or did her family lose their status and money and had to move out to find business/jobs elsewhere ? the fact there there is no family is really weird if they only need to get jobs.
anyway, a big scandal or becoming poor would definitely explain why she is being shunned by the others.
