It's BAD.
One of the worst things I've played.
The only reason it gets 2★ is cuz of the old feeling I lingered.
Last time I played it was around 5 years ago(~0.14 or smh).
Let's talk about overdelivery. After half a decade, we got around 500 new CGs in the gallery, alright, it doesn't sound that bad, right? The thing is that a HUGE amount of it is about some random-ahh characters, like who tf is Irene, Aki, Dr.Furry(...), the whole Amaya's family tree? What are those characters? We started as Kunoichi TRAINER, not a Konoha Date-sim VN.
We also got some sprites and scenes revamps, but just a few of them. I'd like to give my thanks for the new Hina's sprite, but that's it. We also got an official HD mod, but even this one we need to download and install ourselves, cuz it was behind the paywall at first xD!
Oh yeah, we also got a Mods section, which doesn't even work properly.
Now let's talk about the game itself.
Overall, like most of us, I had high expectations back in the day, and it was tarnished. The Devs definitely lost the course of action a long time ago. Art needs to get unified, not 3-4 different styles with the same character. Quest lines need to be properly aligned. But what's the reason to type all of it? I honestly don't even believe this game will ever be finished, as 0.28 says it doesn't even feel 1/3 completed, and it's been 8 years!
I spent the whole day playing it, and it was a MASSIVE waste of time.
Just download the full save, check the 5-year-old "Trainer" content and then the gallery, then delete it.
P.S.: It always kinda cringe typing about "fappability" of the game, but let's say it, unfappable, ZERO.

- Art: Unattractive, "old" stuff was manageable, now we have 2? new art styles, some CGs/Animations are ok, some are disgusting ngl. There's also some AI-generated stuff, not assisted, not tinkered, just plain, lackluster, unfit basic random generation. A lot of ambient stuff also feels like something from the free banks of assets, like lockers in Hot Springs, for example.
- Writing: If at the start I had a feeling like it was written by a kid, then in the middle it switched into some kind of fanfics territory. I'd also say that I'm definitely not a fan of trying to write the post-war story, all of those becoming besties with Kage's is also ahh.
- UI: Crappy. Was and still is.
- Quests: The code/flags are all over the place, there's no proper structure. You have a gazillion quests at some point, but you can't progress them until you progress other routes, then you have, let's take Irene line for example, 17! events which also have a cooldown of 1-3 days between them, and you get to Irene at the end of all things, so you just skip through the event and then start skipping days outside like a dog to get a new one, great! You can also only open some characters and quests, like Tsuna/Ayame, etc., by choosing only one, true Sakura's route, like wth is this.
