Review of Paradise in the Academy by Mikuya
Version played: 1.4
Played till end of content: No
Points I'll address:
The lore, writing, characters, graphics (including animations), user experience
Tl;dr: A somewhat weak foundation for a plot line that is not supported by it's story development but rather only serves as justification to get some h-scenes
Tl;dr: Shows promise if it were to either embrace it's anime/manga/hentai trope or swerve off it (slightly).
Tl;dr: A good foundation. Aspiritations to elevate the experience can be seen but need to worked on in order to pull it off successfully.
Overall: A somewhat solid foundation that needs to have 1-2 updates or revisions in order to make the game confidently stand in the 4* section. I hope the author gets to read this. I'll return to play the game and post and updates if any of the above points have been addressed/improved or new talking points arise.
Edit: knocking down the review from 3* to 2* due to:
- Writing did not improve rather it stagnates or gets worse at times
- I entered the sandbox phase of the game. The navigation is atrocious and for the academy you have to navigate manually instead via the map
- There are some heavy bugs: Entering map or affection overlay doesn't let you close it. You need to use the rollback function of renpy to exit those overlays.
