A game that doesn't lack in ambition, I'll give it that. This is a finished game that's still being updated, but it has been going on for somewhere about 6 years now.
Pros
- Unique. There's really not many H games that goes this far, with as much dedication. Its like a management simulator in an open world, with time mechanics.
- Fairly deep interaction/relationship gameplay. There's so many stats, mathematics that goes behind the scenes its insane. Lots of things you can do with just one partner, let alone an entire town. This is not a game where you can go from stranger to lover within 1 hour.
- Legit game. H games has always been somewhat utilitarian in their pursue of male erections. The end result is often 4-5 hours of arse slapping that leaves much being wanted. The game however, can legitimately be a game in of itself, which might be what some people are looking for in their H games.
Cons
- There's no other way to put it. If I must describe this game with one word it'll be 'frustration'. Dumping 6 hours of my life into this game, and I can't really describe what the hell was it that I've done. Haven't even so much as banged a girl, or even gone close. And that's with me scouring every wiki/guide available. Can't even imagine any person doing the so-called questlines without a guide, because chances are good you dont even know it exists.
- Tedious gameplay when it comes down to it. You're playing as a principal in a game where your presence in the school is not mandatory. 90% of your daily routine would be hypnotizing citizens, and no not for sexual favors unless a kissing pic turns you on. The other 10% is doing various things like reading books, picking locks, and hacking before eventually sleeping and complete the cycle.
- Perhaps you're asking why aren't you spending time attracting ladies? Well here's the thing. You only have 2 options to boost relationships. Ask them about hobbies, or help them (usually get them stuff, at your expense). After this, the cooldown is about 3 in game days before you can help them again. And you have to actually hunt that girl down too, she's not going to be standing at the same place day by day. Spent like an hour chasing after a specific girl and after that I simply refuse to give further shits.
- Lots of RNG in this game. Events have only a chance to proct, so you'll likely be in-and-out off the ladies loo trying to trigger that shitting prompt to install a spy cam...for legitimate safety reasons the MC is quick to reason. And that's only the beginning.
- Complexity that defies all reason and sense. I'll flat out say this. This game needs a wiki, and cannot be played without a decently updated guide. Lockpicking is a fairly early skill that you'll need to complete events with. So where is it locked in? Well.
First, go downtown to a restaurant that only opens from 8am -> order a meal -> decide to steal a newspaper after your meal -> read said newspaper -> Go to a park in the morning -> get an event from a shady idiot where you have to ask for tips of the trade -> learn lockpicking.
Now, imagine yourself as a new player in an open world. Since hunger is not a mechanic of this game, in what world will you follow this chain of events naturally? And this one is supposedly the least complex of it all.
- Substandard H gameplay. Each of these scenes features one pic. Yes. That's your reward for going through those very long chains. No animation, no dragging, not even clicking. Its just a pic each time you decide to do anything H.
- Did I mention this game needs a guide? Hour one into this game and you're asked to manage the school. Its like being asked to do calculus. Can't lie, if I didn't find a guide in this website I'd given up within 5 minutes.
Conclusion
A game that's very ambitious, but in its frothing zeal for complexity created something that can only appeal to guys with tons of patience and time. It pays well to remember, that at the end of the day, this game will be played by people seeking to have fun, who aren't going to stick around for 10 hours waiting for this flower to blossom. That's why usually every game of this sort features an easy win at the start, otherwise no one will bother playing it long enough to enjoy its content.
I can't help but be lukewarm on this game. It might actually get legit good at the end when you get to bang ladies left right and center, but Im not waiting up 20 hours to do so, especially when the H gameplay is but a small droplet in this ocean of tedium. I can finish most management games no problem, this game however is something else.
Recommended only for tryhards. Because if you're not one then chances are good you would have given up 2 hours into this game. Hell, make it through the 'manage school' screen and you've gone further than most.
