Good Points
+ Art style looks good and we have good-looking animations for sex and non-sex scenes (Like the map having some little animations with moving cars etc)
+ We have tips you can open from options and while they are not detailed enough and they basically show which choices can lead which paths it's still something useful.
Bad Points
- At first, the story seems interesting, MC going back to his teenage self and wanting to change his life, wanting to use this new ''Extra life'' wisely is a kind of interesting concept. But the execution of this concept revolves around annoying/frustrating events and the nearly whole story of the game revolves around nearly everyone treating MC and his loved ones like trash/wimp/loser, causing them problems, and MC trying to fix those problems and fighting aganist them. First of all, it's soo frustrating/annoying. Secondly, it makes zero sense for MC and his loved ones to face these frustrating events constantly. Yeah, we have some good scenes with girls that's true and I really enjoyed scenes with Yasuka but for getting those scenes you literally need to endure all those frustrating/annoying events and it's probably one of the worse writing decisions someone can make... BTW like those bad people causing problems to MC and his loved ones are not enough now we have scary, crazy, blackmailer, stalker yandere wanting MC to become her future husband... I mean... Yeah sure why not? I guess all of those frustrating/annoying things weren't enough...
- While we have some choices about some girl's paths we don't have any choice about some other girls like Sakuya and their content literally forces itself into the main story.
- In this game every story part and grinding part takes too much time and you gonna spend hours without any actual lewd content, but weirdly when it happens it happens nearly without any development like Asami and MC start telling each other ''I love you'' and having sex after knowing each other for just a couple of days. She was in love with another guy, MC and she start having a friendship type of relationship for days and now she and MC love each other and acting all lovely dovely? Yeah makes sense...
- If you are one of the people who hate grinding and use Unren a lot, then you will be disappointed because our game files are locked by our DEV. And the game itself has cheats you can use but for using you need find all money on the different places. First of all, it's boring AF to do that. Secondly, the whole thing makes no sense because you complete annoying grindy money collect puzzles for opening cheats literally contrary to cheat meaning it should be available from the beginning. At least it could be available after we got the quest for grinding 50.000 yen, what's the point of having to cheat if I need to grind money by working for quests and I need to grind money to collect puzzles and complete every one of them? What a big nonsense...
- Until v0.5.2 we only had 10 save pages and with v0.5.2 we got more save pages like other Renpy games but despite we get more save files it's actually not fully working, I mean yeah we have more save pages but when you pass to the next save page you can't see the page number you are on and it need fix.
- This game has one of the most annoying menu styles you can ever see in your life... I presume our DEVs wanted his game menu to look unique and different than all other Renpy games and it's successful! But it's not useful or easy to use at all and being easy to use always comes after style. And one of the biggest letdowns of this unique menu style is changing save slots to something tall and because of that you can't see little pictures showing you what you save, basically, this unique new style kills the whole meaning of small pictures of saves. This style needs to change ASAP...
-The game characters give pretty clear family or step-family vibes while the game says you MC has no family and Yasuka takes MC into her home because of being an old friend of MC's father. This part makes no sense and feels like MC's father run away with some woman and he is staying with his (step) mother but more importantly, MC's father has some depts and dept collectors saying Yasuka is the new owner of his depts makes no sense at all. It just feels like her husband run away and dept collectors say to her she is the new owner of her husband's debt. And because of this every story scene about your father, Yasuka, and Noriko feels off. The game needs customizable titles, so we could name their tittle and identify them as we like. But until we get I Patch or Customizable Tittles you need to bear some details not making good enough sense.
- Noriko's could have been more attractive with a better-looking face and with a little bit bigger tits. And while Yasuka's face looks gorgeous she could have used firmer, more round, and a little bit bigger tits as well. Her tits look ok when you are not having sex but when having sex her tits look shaggy and unattractive, DEV should change her tits and stop animating them with
shaggy and ugly way.
- Sex scene animations are not bad but I can't say the same for the scenes themselves... Generally, they do happen without any foreplay and starter sex scene (like BJ, HJ, TJ, etc), they just start from nowhere after some talk and they only have one position/angle which makes sex scenes boring and not worth all that time you spend for getting them. But I should say Yasuka's love path's first sex scene was an exception, it has a lot of different angles/positions with animations, so I guess DEV is improving his job. But still, even her scene didn't have any foreplay or starter sex and they just started having sex with penetration right away again. Which is quite nonsense and mod killer.
- Noriko's path makes no sense at all, like seriously how her act should make any sense at this point? How is she still acting like MC being selfish just because of wants to be treated like a normal human being and being angry/sad for her treating him terribly? And then we learn she was the one hiring thugs to beat MC up and when we confront her and say we will try to forgive her she says ''You can't forgive me, even if you do I can't forgive myself'' Then why keep doing the same thing bruh? In the end, we learn she was bullied by children at school who thought her mother was a prostitute (because of having a good house and her father being absent) and MC got the same treatment after he started living with them and she started hiring thugs for wanting him gain some confidence, want him to beat them and send message to everyone mocked them all those years... Literally, nothing about this route story makes any sense, I doubt writers even spend more than 10 minutes for it... Oh BTW let's not forget how Asami keeps pressing/forcing MC to not give up fixing things with Noriko, how much she acts like Noriko is the victim, saying MC's fault, etc... And like these are not enough MC forgiving her in the end and saying ''Sorry for being such a pathetic big brother'' BRUH...
- Latest scene with Asami and Netoru wasn't pleasant, seems like more trouble awaits and this game story is too exhausting to play...
- When someone hits someone it looks awful and even funny because of how bad it is... Like seriously why there is no render/picture for that scene and instead we see two vectors hitting each other? If there was no dialogue there is no way someone understands what's happening in that scene at all.
For The End
Well... What can I say? This is one of the games that have a 5-star rate great potential but is literally ruined by bad points I told... Currently, it doesn't deserve more stars but I do believe this game could reach 5 stars rate level if DEV fixes the problems I told in bad points. I hope he will...
