Gameplay: 4/5
Gameplay time: Short at 2 hours, give or take.
Great game all around, quite high quality given the usual quality of H-games. There is a scene that you could construe as NTR, and it is unavoidable, but it really shouldn't be a problem no matter how you feel about NTR.
If you enjoy RPGM games, this is a must, it is short but packed with alot of quality and extra content/collectible stuff. There are puzzles and the like, but they are quite easy and will often give you hints, but nontheless they are kind of fun. You have to look for keys and items and stuff, and it's padded with enjoyable dialogue and CG's. I will admit, despite the short length, parts of the game felt dragged or convoluted, but taking a break for coffee or a run will fix that.
The dialogue in the game is actually quite good, even with MTL, it's pretty readable, comedy and character dialogue translated well. Cross referencing the translation with some of the original Japanese text, we either got lucky, or MTL is getting better (or I misread the JP text). The dialogue and main characters feel pretty natural, and their dynamic is very enjoyable. I am personally not one to enjoy dominant girls or submissive/boneheaded MC's, but it was done very well here, so if you're anything like me you might end up enjoying that. Plus, the MC gets redemption later int the game
CG's are high quality. There is no voice acting, and they are illustrated stills that have small animations like pistoning in a cross-section view. I don't like giant tits, I am a fan of small breasts, but I myself just can't help but enjoy the absolutely ridiculous proportions of Katagiri, her character design will grow on you if you have tastes like mine. I think the CG's are pretty hot, some molestation and perverted situations at the start, before becoming light rape and intercourse around the latter half of the game. It isn't very hardcore, but nontheless should be enough to make you pop off if you put effort to.
The story is pretty unique, and is somewhat of a breath of fresh air compared to most eroge. Now don't get me wrong, I am the kind of guy who likes beelzebub rape games, and I'm a real hardass when it comes to dating, but I kind of like that this game isn't one of those "KILL DESTROY RAPE GIRL" or wish fullfilment lovey dovey games with one dimension characters and story. The heroine, Katagiri hates the MC, and you feel it, but you will also feel her coming to like you more and more. But what I like the most is the atmosphere and style of the game, it is really mellow, and has fun with itself, even in the more 'tense' moments. You can get achievements that are neat and funny, you talk to helpful dogs, cook cum cake for fireball dudes, and carry around a creepy otouto doll that helps you out.
The game is very good, I highly recommend it. if you got this far into my review, thanks for reading, this is my first review and I know it is a little long but I think I'll write more often. The game has alot of soul, all kinds of extra stuff that have no gameplay effect, very chill, you're able to tell the dev put some effort.
