4.5
Just going to give it a 5 to help balance out the people who shamelessly give it a 2/5 score just because they have a singular complaint.
Visually it's one of the most impressive games in here, scenes are beautifully rendered and characters have great expressions and feel very life like.
Animations are pretty good as well.
Storywise it's also fantastic, There are many characters which actually interact with each other, they have a lot of scenes that help connect their stories together and it feels like they are living in the same universe, each one of the romanceable have a their own extensive backstory, friendships, faults and goals and most of them interact with each other which is quite refreshing because it takes a lot of work to connect them all together. There's also the greater story slowly creeping in and being brought to attention through different characters.
There's some porn logic involved with some of the characters, especially with Evelyn, where she acts like a total slut in a certain moment towards the MC and after that certain event acts in a completely different way towards him, this could also be considered a continuity issue.( The problem that she has might effect her behavior but not to that extent imo)
Some of the characters have routes which you can choose that shape the way you interact with them in the future, and the greatest thing is that it actually heavily shapes some of their interactions with other characters, which I found it is quite unique to this game.
The amount of content in here in mind-boggling, there's like 20 hours of content in this game, it's probably one of the best games in terms the amount of quality content your getting in comparison to the amount of time it has been in development.
The gameplay is...well not very good, there's some grinding involved and sometimes you have to wait a whole week to advance a character's story several times and it gets tiresome
You can miss out on additional "bonus" scenes with a character if you haven't progressed another character's story enough and there's no way you can know this without working with a walkthrough(shoutout to Lane's mod for making the gameplay much more bearable)
Not all characters are equal, some of them of a lot of content while some have very little of it and it's not entirely dependent on their seniority, I'm not sure it's perhaps determined by the patrons or on the whims of the Dev.
