    One of the best games I've played. Can't wait to see what future will bring for this project. Choices really matters, card mini game is fun and quite hard, girls are pretty (Saki my beloved) and scenes are pretty good although some good sexy voice acting would make it even better, but I guess this is still good enough

    As of Ep. 3:

    I have no idea why I waited so long to play this game. Easily in my top 3, my goodness.

    Artwork/Animations - 10/5

    This is easily some of the most amazing artwork I've ever seen in a Ren'Py game (or any, for that matter). The models are absolutely stunning, and the animations are perfect and plentiful. Game gets 5 stars for that alone, seriously.

    Storyline/Dialogue - 5/5

    A very fun story. The dev has a great sense of humor, and it shows. I can tell it's probably going to branch a bit as it goes on, and I am here for it. Dialogue is well written too. MC and girls have their own personalities, quirks, etc. Just very well written and fleshed out so far. I admit there are games out there where I hold down the skip button. I am happy to say this is not one of them. It's worth paying attention. :D

    Gameplay/UI - 5/5

    So one of the things I love about this game is you have the option to choose the girls you want without being forced into one path. While there are some good games out there, I, personally, am not a fan of games that force you to choose a girl and shut the path down of another. Don't get me wrong; I get that games out there are premised on that, and that's fine. But I digress. The options here are plentiful, and what you choose matters. The dev even added an awesome skill point system that SUPER enriches the dialogue and play experience. Just, super well done on the gameplay. It's so fun and engaging.

    I look forward to continuing to follow this game. It is just so well done, and I pray mightily that it continues. It deserves a TON of support!

    Cheers.

    Honestly, outside of this game looking good, I just don't see much in the way of redeeming qualities to this game.

    There is the briefest attempt at starting a storyline at the start of things and then it is immediately blasted away in favor of an absolutely absurd number of sex scenes with basically half the roster of main girls in the very first update. The main character barely has to say a word to the majority of girls in this game before he's thrusting his dick into at least one of their holes and they've met the man of the dreams. It just further devolves into nonsense with each new update, adding more girls into the orbit of the main character's massive dick and drawn to it so fast you'd think it's magnetized. All the while, any veneer of storytelling is completely stripped away with more and more absurd unconnected moments.

    If all you want are some adequate sex scenes and some good-looking models, this one will certainly provide that. For anyone looking for anything remotely deeper, find something else.

    This is easily one of the best AVN I've ever played. Not only is it great fun, humorous, sexy and a very well designed RPG, but the characters, interactions and situations you get into are legendary.

    I can't remember the last time I chortled with glee while playing a game. It is outrageous at times, but I mean that in a good way because it doesn't seem to take itself too seriously but neither is it silly or overly whimsical. The world needs people like Chelsea, the twins, Selina, Saki, Katie, Dr. Riley, Lydia and Taylor. The cutest LI, IMO, is a total bitch so far. I think we all know what she needs to turn that banana upside down...a huge vitamin D injection will sort her out. ;D

    It is still early days for this game, but it is already epic in my opinion. Great job dev!!

    I enjoyed the game but there are just a few things that could be improved. Then again it hasn't been out for a year yet, so it is still in the works. There are a few misspelled words but that's not much of a problem. The animation could be worked on a little bit.

    I liked how the artist or whoever made the scenes added a little bit of the girls moaning at some parts. I wished it was longer and such but I know there are reasons why it is the way it is.

    I honestly give this game/story an 8/10. I look forward to seeing what is added/updated to it in the future.

    Very well-done college porn game. I think it checks all the required checkboxes for a 5-star game: varied interesting LIs, attractive models and renders, well-animated sex scenes with choices, foreplay, and different sexual "paths" or "flavors" depending on the LI, crisp and well-designed UI, succinct to-the-point but still realistic dialogue, clear gameplay, funny.

    Some things elevate this game above most other college h-games though:
    • There are 5 sex scenes on day 1, with 2 being actual sex, and they're all with main LIs. College girls are actually dtf?! Amazing.
    • Not all the girls are dtf though. Different LIs look like they'll have different needs and relationship paths, fitting their personalities rather than having characters written around plot timings.
    • Shockingly realistic intro psych college content. Maybe a little accelerated - probably not talking about research methods or structuralism or Milgram on Day 2 of college - but dev definitely seems to have familiarity with college, including the intricacies of UK colleges and their course model. Would be nice for the class material to tie into the game plot in some way, but it's nice for the MC not to be in "college" taking remedial HS English and Math classes for once.
    • Very interesting mechanical integration of the LI's personalities. Each LI has 2 traits that broadly affect how their love and lust scores work, and thus mechanically represent their personalities and attractions. The "rebel" character has traits that prevent the player from effectively raising her love and lust scores, unless they're breaking a rule. The "good student" character gains more love when talking about school stuff and loses love when you interrupt her work. These could just be done in dialogue, but putting them on a stats screen for players gamifies the LI's personalities and tells the player how to play the game. A really effective, interesting, design choice.
    • Another interesting mechanic: going through all the positions and options in sex scenes cause the LIs to orgasm and thus award points. Nice to reward the player for thoroughness and a touch of realism.
    • The game is quite funny and in clever ways, playing with narrative. There's a planking competition where the player is put in the MC's head and what they're feeling is exaggerated into absurdity. There's a great two-joke sequence first with Chelsea gossiping to the entire campus about the MC's penis and his penis size keeps growing as she gossips - her profile of course says that she's a gossip, but to hit the player with it at the start of day 2 with how much of a gossip that meant subverts the player's expectations while letting them in on the joke at the same time. It's followed by Chelsea later explaining why the MC's penis size kept growing in her gossip: she's adjusting for the girl's penis size expectations, depending on if the girl has had sex and watches porn or not. She's in econ, so she's adjusting for the girl's "dickometer" like she would inflation. A brilliant joke-within-a-joke, tied into known character traits, and unfolded as a one-two punch over 2 separate episodes. Our dev is a comedian, folks.
    • A skill tree for the MC. More on this later.
    • LESBIANS?! In a relationship?!! In a male harem h-game?!!! They're listed as LIs so we'll probably fuck them later, but cool to see. Also, they're the the only 2 characters on the LI screen who are looking at each other, rather than dead center. Very nice detail that will go unobserved by most. Am curious to see if they'll be changed to "look at" the player later in the game.
    Some negatives, as expected for any game:
    • Some characters are a little tropey. "Bad girl rebel," "good girl nerd," "no nonsense law student", "quirky magic pixie Japanese girl," "quiet bullied girl helped by the MC in HS." Necessary for the trait mechanic and to quickly introduce 18 LIs but hopefully there is more depth in each character.
    • A few sequences run too long. The cliche "truth or dare" game isn't very spicy or interesting and I wanted to skip through it. The Saki recollection sequence too ran a little long and felt padded to be extra-wacky with unfunny jokes that took away from the actually funny jokes.
    • Some decision points in the game aren't signposted well. A minor one is why asking the prof the 4th question in her office hours reduces her love instead of increases - maybe she's annoyed at all the questions? But the question seemed pretty normal and the player gets no feedback about it before or after. The twins getting upset over the Paris date one is especially weird though, to have an LI just cut off this early due to some reasons not really given to the player in advance. Maybe realistic but a strange counterintuitive choice in an porn game.
    • The cumdrunk skill just loops the same sex scene. Nothing changes the second time around, it's copy paste in the code, so it's pointless and even tedious instead of rewarding.
    • The card minigame is a little dull and RNG. Not sure what the reward for it is. The rockpaperscissors to start it really needs to run faster and not tie over and over again.
    It's still early days though so some questions / concerns:
    • How much do these love / lust points and their bonuses matter? The game mechanics are interesting but they won't matter if the overall system is broken or imbalanced, and some of the numbers being used are a little worrying.
    • The skills are numerous. We already see some signs that some are way more useful and interesting than others. So far the active ones are integrated through the game but can the dev keep integrating them throughout the game in interesting and rewarding ways, because the additional work is probably substantial.
    • There's a bunch of additional stats and tracking the game is doing and it's not clear why. The MC has 5 personality traits but we don't know how much they impact the game. Also a lot of the game's skills are directed towards giving LI orgasms, but all that does is increase their love by 2. Hard to see how all these mechanics are going to be developed and mesh together well at the end.
    • That's definitely not 9 inches. But maybe my dickometer is off too.
    One last note: I love how Chelsea, Ella, Lydia, and Selina are slutty (at least, they suck / fuck the MC within minutes of meeting), self-aware that they're slutty, and open about their sluttiness, but in totally different ways and for distinct reasons. Take note other devs: "slutty" is not a personality by itself.

    This is one of my favorites so far. The LIs are gorgeous and there are many of them. The sex scenes are pretty frequent. The writing has been entertaining. And there is a variety of fetishes present/planned.

    [Ep3] You are a freshman at Elmwood University, a college in the UK. On your first day on campus, you wake at a student's home party with no knowledge of how you got there and no clothing but your briefs! Things work out well, since the party hosts hot cheerleaders who are obsessed with how massive your cock is. A typical college day in the UK!

    This game wastes no time in providing the player with sexual content and beautiful women to flirt with. The UI is unique and well designed, the women are all stunning (with some unique looking vaginas, not something you see very often in these games), and the game rewards you for being a pervert! Sex scenes always feature multiple positions and cumshot options, even for a simple blowjob, and the animations are of a great quality. The porn in this porn game is worth clicking for!

    The story is, so far, average. The plot involves trying to figure out what happened on your first day that you can't remember, preparing for your psychology classes, and banging hot chicks. The characters have unique quirks, but all are smitten with the MC and worship his cock rather quickly. If you're looking for realistic relationships and a dating simulator, this game isn't for you. That said, there are some women who seem to be a slower burn and clearly want a more romantic relationship. Not every character is just looking to fuck. All in all, the characters are fun to socialize with and are written well enough that you don't feel the need to skip dialogue.

    The game features a minigame in the form of a card game. It is entirely optional, but beating players earns you new cards which make future games easier to win. The game is simple and enjoyable, but not balanced in the beginning. You play against people with much better cards than you, so the vast majority of your duels will end in DRAWS or LOSSES. This should be addressed somewhat in the future. (Also beating the opponent in Ep 3 didn't give me a new card! Not Okay!!!)

    The downside to this game is its perk system. I used a cheat mod, so I can't comment on how well it is balanced, but there are perks you can earn as you 'level up' your character. This allows for extra content, such as girls being cum addicts or taking cum selfies, or earning more relationship points during a kiss. The perks are fun and entertaining, but without a cheat mod I fear there will be a point where the average player won't be able to see a lot of content because they lack perks, or didn't use relationship boosting perks early in the game and are hopelessly locked out of content requiring high relationship points down the road. I hate when authors write systems or branching paths that limits the content you can see in a single playthough.

    In summary: the renders and women are beautiful and sexy. The game has a great focus on sexual content. The story is okay but entertaining and keeps your attention without turning into a click fest. And the UI and some elements of the game are unique and clearly the result of lots of love and attention from the developer. A great game!

    I just started playing the game and i'm not even done in episode 1. But so far the game did not dissapoint me. In terms of girls design I can say that they have different variety. The story also has the system stat managing which is quite unique in the game. Right now my verdict is 4⭐ out of 5. My rating might change in the future defending on the quality of the episode release.

    A great game with a lot of action and choice. Improved greatly by cheating to get all the upgrades though. Characters are hot, and there is a variety of personalities and appearances. Will continue to follow

    Such a great game, with a lot of content in it already! I love the skill tree as it actually impacts the gameplay from the get go! Can't wait to see more of this game when the new updates start rolling out.

    Extremy good VN
    Visuals are great (one the best i have seen actually) and the story is nice with some mystery and humor (i had a few good chuckles with this VN).
    Moreover i liked the MC i think he is very good and the LIs are all beautiful , interesting and unique.
    Thankfully its a harem game because the choices are really difficult and i would hate to say NO in the Lis i like :
    Katie, Violet , Taylor ,Tasha & Ashley (Twins) and Saki
    So my main path gonna be Harem but im gonna also try for solo ending too if is possible possible and some throuple choices too.
    Furthermore i have to add that i also liked the Talent Mechanics and how we can build the talents and trait of our MC .
    It was very enjoyable VN and i highly recommend it.

    This is one of the best games on here. The skill points system seems like it will be a lot of fun - it already does so much in the early content. The scenes are outstanding, can't wait to see how things progress. Great stuff.

    10/10 Love the game.
    I didn't expect it to be that good. I mean, it's college theme AVN with lots of LI and sex scenes, there are a lot of those here, but damn this one is actually feel fresh. The story is quite interesting, the characters are diverse, unique, and not one dimensional.

    This is also quite ambitious, there are a lot of things planned and I can see how great this game would be if the dev actually managed to implement it all.

    the skill system is actually crucial and not just a decoration, there are scenes and dialogues that only appear if you have some certain skills. I guess you will need the mod to unlock all the skills if you're confused on which skill to get.

    Conclusion: Awesome game, definitely on my top 5 right now, can't wait for more.

    It's a rare gem of topmost quality, definitely in the top 10 of AVNs that I ever seen:
    • Many sexy girls, each with her own specific character.
    • Abundant erotic and sex scenes, well woven into the story.
    • Even if the story is not extremely deep or dramatic, it's still quite valid and entertaining, so it's very far from brainless fuck fest.
    • Great renders: rich contents, perfect posing & facial expressions.
    • Clever interface.
    • Freedom of choices.
    Con:
    • No flat chested girls. Even "small boobs" are not that small.
    Now I'm not sure if the developer will see this, but I'm not on Patreon, so here's a few corrections for ver. Ep.3:

    1. Startling sounds are annoying (1 - coming down in Taylor's house, 2 - explosion). Make them quieter:
    Code:
    script.rpy, line 1967:
    play sound 'record_scratch-108233.mp3'
    
    e3.rpy, line 5779
    play sound 'explosion.mp3'
    2. Paris date - erotic buildup between the lake and the room is broken by the card game and the shitty movie. (That's funny, but still).

    3. Some perks are ridiculous (+1 lust per 50 love?). (Especially when love points don't grow properly, see the next paragraph).

    4. Love pts don't grow in many cases regardless of girls' emotions and your choices (mainly in Ch.3?)...

    5. The card minigame has hovering glitches, esp. noticeable when debug mode is on.

    6. Screens (like Character screen) don't look good if you change the font in Accessibility menu. Horizontal adjustment should be reworked?

    Keep up the good work!

    Review based on EP.3:

    I know people here are tired of the school setting in AVN's especially with many of them being so similar. Luckily this one breaths a bit of fresh air into that whole trope with its many sexy LI's and a few interesting gameplay elements. To start with so is the story nothing revolutionary but its serviceable and does have promise to become something interesting down the line, what actually amazed me was the amount of detail the dev has put into writing each and every character, there is quite a few so good work there. Lenghty bios for each LI which fleshes them out, managed to give all the characters a good introduction and a good bunch of them even got some sexy times, does not feel so rushed either. I know some here on F95 really don't like slutty girls etc so if you are sensitive to that then steer away from this game since a few of them really like dicks. BUT!! It does not seem like there will be any NTR in this game. So in short: story is not a slow burn and can become a bit ridiculous a few times with how willing some are but this is far from the worst I've seen, characters are really fleshed out with their own bios, personality etc. Gameplay is your standard VN affair though with a skill tree, nothing revolutionary about that since its been done before in another game with the same setting but it shows promise for the game to have many possible routes to take. You can put points into milfs, being a dom, a lover etc. Also a minigame that was quite fun, a bit hard but fun. Its optional so you dont have to play it if you don't care. Models are really good in this game, all of them really good looking and quite varied in their looks so this dev has some real skills in that department. Updates so far has also been quite meaty in their size so should be promising for the future.

    Only thing that put me a bit off in the start is the size of the MC's dick, its large... really large. Though for some reason it kind of grew on me(hehe). Just wanted to put that out there since I normally despise games with ridiculous dick sizes.

    I confess that I'm already sick of college games, I think this theme is already saturated but this game here managed to catch my attention, not only that but it made me like it a lot, it's a cliché game but it's a very well made cliché, the characters are beautiful and the game is well optimized and this skill system is very good, anyway for a college game this one managed to catch my attention

    A new and interesting approach I found quite compelling. I was disappointed to reach the end of content and eager for more to continue. Great girls and not the typical interface for them or perhaps progress. Usually the number of love interests here would risk making them shallow, but that does not seem to be the case here and I have hopes for continued depth. Would kind of prefer some less experienced girls but whatever, cheerleaders and college girls in general are pretty loose these days. Overall, great game I hope continues.

    This game hasn’t really properly started yet, but it’s showing plenty of potential.

    The LIs give a pretty good mix of characteristics, and a good range of difficulty levels – and not just because two of the LIs are teachers. In terms of looks, I think there’s a good range as well, and although we’ve only had the opportunity to see a portion of the LIs nude so far, I’m happy with the selection available and how they look. I can see a good challenge ahead when it comes to building a harem, especially bearing in mind some girls might not play nicely with certain others.

    One neat thing this game has to set it apart a bit is the perks tree. You gain points (mostly through lessons) which you can spend on learning new traits which might help you get along with the girls, or might improve your performance with them. Some of these are quite interesting, like Cum Selfie, where the girl will often take a photo of her facial and send it to her friends (also increasing their friends’ lust).

    There are some fun moments in the game, and dialogue which shows it’s not taking itself too seriously. Some of the choices you can make are a bit pointless however, making it seem like they’re there just to fill a quota.

    Overall, it’s a promising start, not a game that’s going to break any barriers, but one that should easily hold its own in a congested field.

    What can i say other then i love the story even though im not really sure what its about yet or if there is even a plot, it feels more like you might follow the story of each LI insted of the MC but we will see once it gets more content, its is nice to see something diffrent with a thouch of RPG with all the skils and such which might make it replayable trying out diffrent stuff, im normaly only do single playthroughs but just might try this more the once, im looking forward to see where this one will go.

    Granted some girls seems a bit to much like whores and it takes less then a minute before they offer MC a blowjob, so some really lacks in relationship build up, would like to get to know em a bit better before it comes to sexual stuff, but atleast you can turn them down so that is good, i just hate doing it when i liked the look of some of em, but whore types just does nothing for me.

    Also the start feels absoultly idiotic, your at a party and the first 5 girls are all lesbians/BI, its just to much since it closes alot of routes when you arent into the hole lesbian thing.

    Which leads me to one of the best parts of the game and that is that you have freedom of choice meaning you can pick who MC has a relationship with or not, its just how i like harem games where its not a forced harem and you can selcet those you like.

    As for the girls there are alot of them so odds are there will be something for everone, theres even a good diversity in builds and alot of diffrent personalities so truely a really well made game in pretty much every aspect.

    I do share the same worries like others, that with so many LIs it might become to much for the dev to keep track of coding and branching but i truely hope the dev can manage it and that it wont be dropped and left unfinsihed at some point.

    As for animations i dident see all that many yet, but the few i did see was pretty good, i would say maybe even a little over average.

    Music is pretty good as well and suits the game.

    I think this has the chance of becoming one of the best VNs ever if they manage to pull it off with all the branching and love interests.
