What a story! I did a Melody only playthrough, mainly because when a game is designed around one girl, I feel obligated to do a loyal playthrough with that girl, and I'm glad I did. Melody is a lovely character, both in appearance and personality, and undergoes a lot of character development. I loved seeing her grow and how my relationship with her impacted her mindset. I really enjoyed the theme of music in this game (and the music selection in general was really good too) and how it brought us together. This game is a very slow build, which I don't mind because I got to know her, care about her, and actually want to progress my relationship with her. And when we finally got to the sex, the scenes were extremely hot, and most of them had some really well done animations. And I'll admit, I shed a few tears during the perfect ending.
I do have two major complaints however, and that is why I can't give this 5 stars. My main complaint is that this game is too damn long. A lot of content is a good thing, but the middle part of this game, particularly weeks 6-9 when we begin "seeing" each other really starts to drag. I'm particularly not a fan of "seeing" relationships in general, but this section of the game becomes extremely repetitive, with just going on the same types of dates over and over again with nothing interesting happening. The other complaint I have with this game is the writing, which is good for the most part, but has some glaring problems here and there. For example, Melody is supposedly troubled in the beginning but, aside from one thing with her stepdad's possessions, the game doesn't show her doing anything wrong besides being a little snarky and sarcastic towards me. She doesn't have to do anything drastic, but the developers should've really showed how she has problems rather than just saying it and expecting us to believe it. The writing issue also ties in with the game being too damn long, as I feel the game would've been stronger if the seeing part was either rewritten or taken out. Maybe if Melody actually did more stupid shit, like stealing or something, and her troubles caught up with her and so we had to solve them together would've been much more interesting. Also, I got the feeling that multiple people wrote the dialogue for this game because even when Melody and I officially became a couple, she and I would still say we're seeing each other. Seeing isn't the same as dating.
Overall, this is a great game for the most part. I didn't bother with any of the other girls, and I doubt I ever will, even though based on the gallery, it looks like they've got some hot sex scenes and endings too. For one thing, I'd feel guilty cheating on Melody, as she is the star of the show. But the other reason is due to the length of the game. Even with Renpy's fast forward mechanic, it'd take a very long time. Anyway, I highly recommend playing this game, purely for Melody herself.
