The game has great ideas that fails to properly capitalize on them. 3/5
If you're an exhibitionist fan like myself, I'd say this is a pretty good experience but you'll end up wanting more. I enjoy the clothing system, the choice between flashing spots and doing it everywhere. It's not too grindy, and I wouldn't mind the lack of illustrations if the game had more scenes.
I guess it must be true to life that the countryside barely has anything, but the game didn't have to be a big empty with scenes scattered all over it. It feels incomplete, there's like two roads that lead to nowhere and it's just locked up, what's up with the school and that guy who tells you the story of the place? They mention the possibility of rumors, which I thought were going to work like the first game, but no, it's reduced to a couple of middle aged women gossiping about the MC without saying anything too damming. There's no progression, it just happens as soon as you wear a different outfit.
In fact, not a lot of NPCs react to the MC getting all naked, you'd expect given how tight knit the countryside is that someone would care. The MC's neighbor is one case where it feels like there's something missing, he reacts to the different states of undress and outfits of the MC. Hell, you can even masturbate in his house, when he's in it, and the MC will mention that she has to be careful or else she'll get caught. I half expected that if there was going to be sex scenes, if was going to be with him. But nothing, zero, nada. He's just there.
I appreciate how easygoing it is, how it's very easy to avoid getting fucked. But if you want to go nympho, you're going to do a frustrating song and dance, I couldn't trigger the scenes at the Deli. I don't know what the fuck the game expected from me, but it sure was frustrating even with the hint system. Also most proper sex scenes with penetration are behind noncon. I don't mind, but I sometimes want consensual things to go beyond softcore stuff. The game would've benefited more from better defined scenes, even if it reussed the same art over and over.
