So, the one above me kinda answered one part, but, what you have to realize that this game is a blend of sandbox and standard route VNs. Thus, because it's a sandbox, you do stuff outside the story and relationships, but there's usually two routes for every characters, although most have only been implemented in the last two years. So, rather than having multiple saves at each route fork, it's more of a game fork; it's also why the NG+ works. I'd suggest to, instead of saving before choices, you do one playthrough then start a New game plus after marriage to explore everyone's other side.this game is great, and i enjoy it, but it is sad to me that i cant have all characters in a single save. I have this same problem with many many games. i always prefer to have access to all characters in one game rather then having to play and keep track of multiple different saves with different choice outcomes just to see a handful of extra characters
its a design philosophy that is pulled from standard dating sim / VN games over the decades, but i dont like it in adult games. yes im here for gameplay to a degree, but really im here to consume the content, not for a huge time sink. i think the majority of players would agree
the only other complaint is i would like a handful more frames in fun scenes to boost the appearance of animation by making the characters actually move a bit. this is done in a few scenes (example Aletta on the couch or Emma on top) but it really is ideal to have this in every scene
final score 8 out of 10
Bree, Band, Sam, The crazy sisters all have two mutually exclusive routes, for example; also office has multiple outcomes. There might be more, been a while since I've done a complete playthrough.
