I started playing it and it looks good.
I have 2 issues with Kassie:
1) I really don't like the "I'm a lesbian and there's no how, no way" flat-out declaration at the beginning. I can understand, and even empathize with the opinion that it's nice to have a character with that view. That's pretty rare in these games and for a good reason. But apparently at least one of the goals of this game is the MC getting married by the end and you have shut the door on what is so far one of your two or three choices. As a writer, I really feel that even if she was planned to stay Lesbian-only, it should have been played out differently. Less definite, or somewhat later. Keep the door open a crack and the suspense going until you have more options. And IF you are going to have her "turn", you don't have to backtrack the earlier definite "No!" that you've established. (Yes, I understand that she was being honest and didn't want to string MC along with false hope and I DO appreciate that in Real Life, but I'm talking as a writer here.)
A side point: I have known several women that have said virtually the same thing and it turns out that they were either lying and using being gay as an excuse to avoid a relationship, or changed their minds once the heat started going or they broke up with their previous partner. I'm NOT saying that it happens ALL of the time as soon as Mr. Studly whips out "The Rod of Heterosexual Conversion", but it DOES happen and a good writer should keep it in the file as a device to hold the audience in suspense: "Is she or isn't she? Only her gynecologist knows for sure!" And of course, we all know that Cupid can be VERY capricious with those arrows...
2) Personally, Kassie's exactly my "Type" in these games, so I'm attracted to her. It doesn't help that all of the women that I've seen so far in the game seem to be clones of a same general type that I'm NOT attracted to.
Update: ok, there's more variety further on in the game, but my point still stands.
