I have been playing for around 4 hours with no bugs and it lacks a lot of things that AA2 did well.
There are no real interactions between the NPCs, when you go Hmode with a character everyone in the area disappears, and once the event ends they reappear and run away (contrary to AA2 where they could interact with you, either looking or stopping you).
There are no consequences of dating multiple NPCs, and even if you did something with one in front of the other, they really do nothing.
The different personalities mean little as you can spam any talk and it will gradually work towards the attractions %. No matter what I try, I can’t make the attraction % decrease, so no real challenge.
Until now no NPC has initiated an interaction with the MC, the closest one is one that confessed, but I had to already be talking with it to happen.
Now about looks, the improvements are negligible, while the clipping of clothes is still there. If it was on a custom character with custom clothing I would give it a pass, but having clipping issues with a premade character with the clothing that was chosen by the developers, that is a horrible level of Quality.
Hell, the Mc doesnt even have fluid movements with the arrow keys, it just jumps from one direction to the other as if skiping frames. The new positions in game does not even have a complete animation, as grabbing any part of the NPC while in position makes the MC invisible, and on the kiss interaction the NPC kisses the air while the MC just looks blankly into space, far from her face.
I can’t believe that Illusion can’t make a game that has at the very least the same quality of interactions as AA2 yet (not really counting Shoujo Ai as it has a diferent kind of gameplay), a game from 2014.
In my opinion, while Koikatsu (as a game, not a studio) was mediocre, this is even worst considering the little improvements there are in it.
All this is just my opinion after playing most Illusion, and other similar company games. Also, I would give the game a 2.5 of 5, but I gave it a 2, as I cant give it .5 ratings.
