Easy 4 stars. Treat it as a 4.5.
The one star dropped is for the simplicity of the game, and how the game doesn't reach much outside the limitations of RPGM. In short, it's a lot of walking around maps and pressing Z, but in a good way.
This game avoids all the obvious pitfalls so many other games fall into: There is no combat, there is gameplay (though it's a simple game of grinding up stats), and the environments are small enough to not make you waste time, while effectively communicating the "space" of where the game takes place. No bullshit, and no unnecessary inconvenience, and instead the time has been spent fleshing out things that enhance the fantasy of the game.
There is one interesting mechanic, where the goal of the game is to keep your lust as low as possible by managing to "relieve" yourself as often as possible, ie. giving you gameplay-rewards for getting to the sexy stuff. The thing you're doing, is the thing the player wants to do. That's how you build a game with a strong theme.
The CG's are pretty good, and there's attention on all the right places on details of clothing, facial expressions, stat-tracking etc. Even has some writing for the main heroine that connects to the fantasy that the game wants to invoke, how 'bout that. Nothing you've not seen before, but it's kind of all you need for a simple porn-game.
