This game is a mixbag of great and bad.
Weither you enjoy it really is up to you. But if you do, then there's an awesome amount of content.
To sum up my own experience... (as of v0845)
Great : good sense of progress, I liked the models, some amazing scenes, lots of sex
Bad : unbalanced writing, annoying bugs, lack of random dialogues
The first things you should know is that all the girls go from shapely to extra-curvy. No skinny/loli here.
The game runs as a daily-life rpg with an unoriginal but all-right start setting: the MC is a small-ish last-year student in a new family with hot girls all around. I liked him, he's rather modest without being a drooling doormat.
There's no rpgm fight (yay!). Instead you'll be doing some sneak quests, timed runs, dates and a few mini-games.
The begining can feel a bit rough. The city is daunting and everything seems "grindy" at first.
On the good side, you're guided and there's tutorials for each mechanics. Also there's some sex available right away.
On the bad side, I found most characters to lack in introduction. IIRC, in the original version of the game, there used to be many more dialogues and chit-chat events to introduce the many relationships. Sadly it wasn't all carried over.
The story is entertaining, with a real sense of progression. The MC starts with a comical dick, a phone, and a lot of people to befriend.
The MC and other characters behave rather human-like (compared to your average game/movie).
The atmosphere is mostly light-hearted fun with a few darker notes here and there. No macho male-domination. Some feelings, but no heavy romance so far.
There's a lot of girls and events. To the point where I didn't feel like I had to unlock everything, and only picked the ones I wanted.
Some events are unlocked by side quests, others by advancing the main story. The problem is that at a point in the story, previous side chains might get stuck if you haven't completed them (bug?). So you have to "farm" all the side chains you want before moving on. This broke the immersion for me.
The English writing is very divided. Most major scenes are well-written and engaging. But a lot of other dialogues are poor or even painful to read (in case of the teenage boys' slang). Maybe it's better in its Spanish version.
On the good side, the author provides scenes and animations which are expressive enough to let imagination fill in the gaps. Often skipping the text altogether.
The world is lively, with a lot of little details and sprites.
There's a lot of minor bugs.
A few tips I wish I'd known :
- Install the incest patch (if you don't mind). Or you'll wonder why nothing happens sometimes, or why X is mad with the MC.
- Play with sounds (I usualy don't). While not amazing, they set the mood well and fill in for the lack of dialogues in some scenes.
- Get familiar with the city layout early.
- Don't hesitate to take the bus to save time (until you get a car). Money is not an issue as the game goes on.
- The book of face is your friend.
- Use the ingame debug tool in case of black screen or picture bug.
- Check out the walkthrough at least once at the start for the forewarnings. You don't need to follow it (I like to explore), but keep it close for when you feel lost.
