This game has a lot of story, but what it fails at for me, is making that story engaging in anyway.
They dont really flirt with each other, or tease. The story is not really humerus, exiting, mysterious or thrilling.
90% of the "time fill" content is about her music carer, and its like reading a Wikipedia page most of the time.
Now i know the game is about this music mentor, and that role. But if you are going to do a shit ton of story content, it needs to be engaging in some way. All that side/fill story need to contain something, that makes it feel like its not filler content.
And it feels like this game lacks that.
Other great games have this amount of content also, and a lot of side content, but the good ones manages to have a story that have humor, thrill, flirting, mystery and so on.
Even some time management/minimal grind games, manage to have more engaging filler content than this game have.
Also the romantic dynamic between the player and Melody is so internalized, its A LOT of just thoughts.
No real flirting at all.
The romantic part of this game outside of different sex scenes, is just the odd groping here and there.
