When the game first showed up on F95, like many others I got interested by the visuals but ultimately ignored it due to the lack of sexual content. I do really regret that decision wholeheartedly now. While the game feels like it has some pacing issues (length of earlier chapters compared to later ones) overall it has been a really enjoyable ride that made me curious for more.
I’ve spent roughly 12 hours on the game today and my reactions went from “oh boy, depression time” and “even for a comedy this seems kind of too meme-y” to “Sound of Silence”. That’s only the prologue by the way. While the following chapters mellow out the fairly radical tonal shift of the prologue, the closer the game gets to the latter double-digit chapters the more serious it becomes while still sprinkling in its humor. The characters are all enjoyable both personality and design wise, however three so far have been lacking in screentime and therefor more characterization outside of the stereotypes they are associated with in manga/anime. Regarding their designs, the more mature look provided despite being made with Koikatsu gives the visuals a fairly unique touch as well.
The BGM fits the vibes of the MC, JC, perfectly and while I found some pieces to be somewhat misplaced at certain moments that give off a different kind of mood, it has been really good and unique as well compared to other visual novels in that regard.
There are currently some quality-of-life issues on PC like fixed window sizes (either fullscreen or 1680x945 (?) windowed but nothing inbetween) a sluggish skip mode especially compared to Renpy, as well as minor bugs when it comes to the scroll back where I had the game bug out on me entirely not showing any scenes. There’s also some more or less obvious clipping in the renders that I am sure will be eventually tended to but outside of one or two cases none of them have been actually glaring so far.
This game is a gem. If you want an erotic game whose focus lies primarily in the story, then check it out. There aren’t many sex scenes at all yet as of version 1.34.5 (1 ½-ish at best?), so it may not be worth if that’s all you want. However, the tiny bit that does exist acts more of a cherry on top that marks an advancement in character development, so I can absolutely recommend it despite the games on this site usually having far more sexual content.
