It was ok when it was first released, visually there were some more intersting ones back then as well.
The game convinced me with the gameplay mostly and what was great was the two week update schedule. Since I was not interested in JRPGs (most games were like that), this was the second "big" VN style game I played after BB (before that I played 'real' porn games by Illusion and the text adventures).
The early 'episodes' had no real animations at all, only later updates would get animations. Those weren't cheap to make, that whole prerendered 3D thing was just beginning.
If you can convince the dev that he'll make good money with a remaster, I'm sure he's going to consider it
