I hate to give it a poor rating, but the game didn't leave me another choice. I'm pretty sure some things would be different on the male route, but I chose female protagonist.
So, pretty much the only upside I can say is the art. It looks absolutely stunning. The backgrounds, the character design, all of them are great.
The downsides? It's grindy as hell. Keeping the needs of your character on an acceptable level wouldn't be that hard, but honestly, it feels absolutely pointless. Its only purpose is to make the game longer, but it's not challanging, not entertaining, as I said, absolutely pointless.
To add insult to injury, the female route has only two NPCs. Two. And they are awfully difficult to find, especially at the beginning of the game, as you don't know their schedule about when and where they can be found. Some events are nearly impossible to trigger, and the game doesn't even explain why. Then when they ARE triggered, sometimes your options are also limited, once again, without any true explanation (for example, when during the moving in scene, MC refuses to help Sasha, or when after a date, Sasha invites MC over, and she says no, despite every need is being on a good level). The lesbian route ends after one night together, as after that there is no content at all, the game just repeats the same scene over and over again, but other than that, there is no apparent change in the relationship of the girls.
The conversations are limited, somtimes doesn't even make much sense, and the lines are repeated like a hundred times by the time you get anywhere with a character.
You can earn money infuriately slowly, the job positions are limited, even the payrise is a joke, which all just add to the grind.
And last but not least, even in that only one sex scene for the lesbian route, a picture wasn't changed from the male route...
I really don't know if what I said about the quantity (and quality) of the content is true about the whole game, or just the female route, but this way, the female route shouldn't have been released, as isn't more than just wasting the players' time.
