Unity - School, Love & Friends [v2.12] [Walkius]

+ many sex scenes, very few animated scenes
+ nice school setting

- very bad english, hard to understand and with every playthrough it get less fun to play it.
- over time the MC is going to be more and more an asshole
- the long time period till January s*cks, till the game proceeds . Worst idea ever.
- far to short sex scenes and one click to much and it is gone...
- I hate the dark text area, I do not know how to remove it completely like I do normally in Renpy.
- sadly not many animated scenes
- many twin sex scenes get sudden endings
- Halloween Event has no effect on the storyline
- event with Mariah (not Martin's friend) does not feel right, especially the 10/10 favors. Those favors, like buying groceries and watch TV should be possible from the start of the game to influence her. Additionally incl. more often help washing dishes. To do something like the museum visit, maybe going to the night club or spa, jogging (or just walking in the woods) would have been better ideas.
- bad time management, to often nothing to do. Especially at the weekends. Many events are to limited when they can start.
- I fear a clicking marathon to reach the new year
- not many saves possible
- can't name saves
- can't save during events like Halloween or Dates
- reaction of the MC on some repeating events is again and again the same, like for example Vicky's sex scenes in school
- reactions of the npc's do not always fit with what you see on the screen.
- many reactions have no incluence on friendship, but why?
- sometimes the hint section is not helpful, like with night club with Mimi
- no inofficial incest support (should be not so hard to do it!) Without it, it makes no sense why the MC and Alice should not be in a relationship.

Look, I honestly tried to like the game, good school environment, perfect graphics and visuals, the gameplay left something to be desired, and the fact that I have to divide all the girls bothers me, especially the fact that there are always old perverts man, the idea was cool, but not everyone here is wanting a gangbang, many really want to set up a harem just for you

Well, I believe it is time to do a good review about this game, so let's get to it!.

-First let's talk about how the game works: Basically while playing and talking with characters we will unlock "storylines", following that storyline will end up advancing your relationship with the related character and basically it will end up in sexy times.

Overall the system lacks flexibility about how to do things, for example if you need to talk with a certain character, you can't go to their house and talk about what you need, or even call the character out in the school, but rather you need to wait to the moment the game designates, which can be once a week and if you miss it then you will need to wait until the next week.

This makes the game quite inflexible because it isn't prepared for you to interact with characters like a normal person would, even more it can be quite a big pain in the ass sometimes. It would be nice that in the future takes into account these things and let storylines advance more easily and natural this way.

-Second we have to talk about our objective: Basically this game pushes the MC to actually have sex with as many people as possible and trying to hide his relationships until at a future point everyone will be okay with you being a master player.

Acting like this feels kind of bad because overall the characters aren't one dimensional, some would be hurt to find out, others are okay with it, but the thing is that being a "player" in more than the usual sense is what the game uses for conflicts.

Overall in this point I may be weird but I don't need to have sex with everyone. But that's all I will say here.

-Now let's talk about conflicts and "rival" characters: Overall as rival characters we could talk about two characters, one is quite known and hated, with reason too because his implementation wasn't good, we talk about "Martin", basically he is a sexfriend of Mimi and he seems to like milfs, overall he is an useless character with no effect and quite easy to defeat.

As another rival I would say it's Ako, the lesbian girl. While it's debatable that I take her as a rival, she would prefer to have sex with girls without you, even more she has shown her hate towards your dick/cum and towards your guts when you create situations to push for a threesome. Overall she could be a good rival in the game and in fact in certain situations she has shown her ability. An easy example would be when you are having sex with Emily and Alice and she kind of blows it up partially during lunch, generating a conflict.

With that I believe it would be nice to talk about conflicts, these are used at certain points to push relationships forward, as I said before as an example, Ako blowing things up partially, or perhaps people suddenly discovering that you aren't exactly the paladin of loyalty towards a girl, or perhaps Mimi catching you and Alice having sex and blackmailing you both.

Many of the conflicts have just one tiny problem, mainly because they aren't appropiate based on what you did in the past. For example Ako and her bomb wouldn't make much sense when you helped her have sex with Alice, because first of all she shouldn't say that out of the debt she has with you, but second because Alice is actually cheating herself with Ako her reaction loses a lot of meaning.

Overall what I mean is, it doesn't make sense that some events activate based on your past actions, if you ignored Ako on her events while did enter into a relationship with Emily and Alice, I could understand her actions as a means to seduce Alice. Here is the main point that the game lacks, rather than creating interesting situations based on what you did and feeling like an unique experience, the game follows the format of "do all events and be happy". It wastes situations that could be interesting or, at least, more interesting that when it's generic.

Even more the main problem that the game has is that "characters forget what they have done", I mean, how can Alice have the same reaction when she only has sex with me compared to when she has had sex with Ako and the swingers. These details are what the game lacks and it affects how consistent the game is.

-To end I would say that the game overall is a good one, however I exposed all the bad points in this review because the good things are easier to see. Overall the bad points are:

1º Lack of flexibility when needing to talk to characters

2º Many times when you need to skip time because of lack of things to do

3º Useless rival (Martin), good potential rival (Ako) but she never becomes anything.

4º Generic conflicts and a lack of a gameplay with choices, it's a catch them all boys!.

School, Love & Friends ( Overall Score: 10 / 8 )
( Best Feature: The best adult game about school life.)

Humor: 10 / 8
Character Development: 10 / 9
Story: 10 / 8
Update time: 10 / 7
Content for each update: 10 / 8
Render: 10 / 8


This game deserves to watch and show support. It has a lot of story paths. It's a really good thing, but update can take a little while if you're expecting a certain story path.

At least game without unreal, overbusted and overassed models, and with great renders. THANKS!
It's easy to understand and logical (usually)
Story is nice and after a lot of grinding (to much for me) there is a lot of sex,
But sex scenes are unacceptable short. And without finish mainly.
Where is cum? Extend sex scenes with few more renders and add "cum to..." options, or just with cum render, and it wil be much, much better.
Moving across school without nothing to do is so boring. Add few shortcuts.

Other cons:
No sleep sex, no voyeur and nice peeking - fe in bathroom at schol, (longest than one render), unrepeatable scenes.
I wish to blowjob scene with Lily in Cafe bar back...

This is the rating for the Game in Version [v1.6] from me:

Pros:
+ Very easy to understand
+ Great Renders
+ Nice Story
+ Lots of Sex
+ Nice swinging scenes

Cons:
- Nothing right now

Conclusion:
I have never sat so long on one Game without getting tired of playing,my damn neck is killing me after sitting 12 hours playing this Game,damn that`s a record time for me with one game.
I Just enjoyed every minute of it,different places,hot women,nice MILF`s,easy game play,great Sex scenes with closeups........
Lots more to guarantee hours of game play.....

Recommendation:
Damn worth the download in my Book.
Lots of fun Playing.

My last Review where I give this game one star is 2 years old, and since then many changes happened in this game, that’s why I will change my review.

Original Review Aug 20, 2019
New Review 29.08.2021

“To do this game in Unity was really a bad choice! RenPy would be a better choice! And also there is only a limited numbers of saves that you can use (only 10) because of this it is impossible to save this game before the sex scene... and there is no Gallery....”

The Dev have added a gallery in this game, where you can see the sex scenes, I like the gallery but the problem is the Halloween event. The Halloween event starts with a big party and your choice make it different with which girl you have fun with. The problem is, you must play the party from begin, before you can have fun with other girl. I would suggest when you click on the Halloween event then other tab is opening and you can decide if you want play from the beginning or want to play from the scenes from the different girls.
But unfortunately the Gallery is not completed. As a example, when the MC looks in the changing room and sees all girls naked.


The dev also added animation in the sex scenes, great choice!

For the sex scene unfortunately in the textfield you can see the face from the character that speaks. Its a good design but the problem is the main character, it is really annoying to see his big face every time he speaks in a sex scene. I hope the dev change it, that you can see in sex scene only the girls and not the MC.

You cannot even interact with actors.. Aside from the author's plot.. nothing matters. *Visit the bathroom: your sister it showering." not an event.... *Visit the bathroom: your sister it showering." SAME NOTHING. Repeatedly until you find the path the author intended. Meanwhile not only are potential scenes not happening to you. You have no guidance.. While I love the fact this author did not go with humongous tits.. Gameplay needs a lot of work. A Re-write

characters: well done and they are so many.

gameplay: nicelly done.

scenes: really hot.

story: good.

draws (cg): well done.


conclussion: this game have quantity and quality, it also feels with a lots of tough
and effort on it, i can see myself waiting for the next 455345 updates...
(i mean there is like a plethora of characters and content... and thats awesome).
now the anoying part, the dialogue box text feels akward and there is a bit of grind.

this game TOTTALLY deserve your time and money.

7/10 on the whole is not bad. I miss a lot of corruption and seduction. Images are sufficient (animation).
It's a supergrinding game .... = boredom. Good idea, succession of events too good and no bugs.
I'll go back to the base again. It wants to add a lot of conquest and teasing. Otherwise, it's a boredom ball. More emotions, and a story will help and tears and disappointments will not hurt. So keep going.

Just once, I would like a rating system that allows for a 1/2 of a star - there, now that is out of the way:

First point - The story, relatively typical. Young male MC moves in with "family", feels taboo attraction to housemates, builds stats through daily activities, ad nauseum. Nothing real new here, then again, it's why most of us review the same type of game/VN

Second - Game play. Again, nothing all that different. Stat building via daily grinding with repetitive scenes and tasks. Initially there seems to be a good amount of "build sex scenes" that progress well enough with content that gives you enough to enjoy without feeling like the grind is never going to result in anything "fappable". The Twins route is a good example of this process: you start by training them together and as each stage is done, you ACTUALLY get more scenes with the characters - imagine that, progress for the grinding Of course, this is slower with some characters than others and, in some cases, not nearly as developed as one would expect; that is, there are some characters you would think more scenes are going to happen...aaaand, nothing, (or at least not as much as you might expect for certain characters). That said, it could be my expectations are different than others - take this part of my review with a grain of salt. Expanding on this, I would echo some other reviews here that there is a system of grinding that rivals doing laundry - it is never ending With all of this in mind: I noticed there are a few games that don't have a rollback feature, this one is NOT an exception - some would argue it takes away from the game play, taking chances, etc. To a point I agree, The problem, however, arises when you need to go back because of what you feel is a poor decision or *GASP* a missed fappable scene. Why is this a problem? Well, in most games where the rollback is not enabled, the player can SAVE AT ANY TIME! This has to be one the most annoying aspects of this game - you cannot save during a scene, even where choices are being made - you have to wait until you are in "free roam" at home and a few other "qualified" locations...frustrating when you click beyond a point where a save would have been helpful. Any game with choices and multiple story lines should ALWAYS offer rollback and/or right-click saves and loads throughout.

Third - Grinding. Since I mentioned it, I might as well cover it. While I wouldn't say there is any more (definitely not less), grinding than other games, there is more than I believe is necessary to accomplish goals (ultimately fappable content). I'm not certain, after two years, whether this is intentional on the part of Walkius or just became a habit...perhaps it is getting a little better, if the Holiday release is any indication - much better overall; of course, once that is over we go right back to the standard grind-fest. While I enjoy a good story with fappable content, I would like it to progress - this is like Groundhog Day II the porno...

Fourth. Character models and renders. If anyone has been paying attention to my posts, you know my preferences lean more to the "realistic" and petite (not caricatures of the feminine form) Maria is a great example of what I mean - she is what a MILF should look like (my opinion) not some misshapen cartoon character from some anime parody (again, my opinion and preference). Taking into consideration this takes place with mostly school age (all 18 year old seniors I'm certain ) these models make sense. If you prefer extreme breast size, overly large hip proportions, etc. this might not be the game for you.

Finally, as a 3DCG game goes, this is better than most (given the sheer number out there) and Walkius hasn't abandoned this project like so many other developers - Hell, he was willing to work around the Patreon policy on Incest, which is more than can be said for some developers that are rated higher here..relying on the community to make that fix My biggest ask is getting the story moving and intersperse some different scenes to alleviate some of the grind.

just awesome game...Enjoyed every second of it...Cool story and characters..In the end I wanted more ...a lot more ..lol...but its a game to play definitely ...

Lot of interactions with cool characters , love and sex ..dialogues are very good and fit into the story perfectly ...

This new version will be as awesome and so far enjoying it as the previous one ---

I must say that the renders are okay. However, if you don't use the cheat console, it takes ages to get anything done in the game. It's a continuous grinding fest. Personally I hate that, besides the fact that I simply don't have the time for that. So, unless the dev quits on the grinding part of the game, I can't recommend playing this game.

Review for [v1.3]



First the bad (Because I always like to try and end positive.): Too much grind for my personal tastes. Also you can't advance time an hour here or there at school. You just advance to 12 then to 1600. The models are pretty sexy, I suppose. But they're all petite builds (with the exception of the mom.... can't tell about the teachers really) Little true variety. (Thats a subjective comment, however. Take it with a grain of salt. Some people like petite and petite alone. Others, like me, are big boob guys. But I do like a game with variety.) I would recommend some sort of hints or something in future episodes/updates.
THE GOOD: Despite my preference for big boobs, the models are sexy. There are slutty characters, lesbians, strictly dickly and a few middle of the road. Some TBD characters (To Be Determined.) I like that. Variety is the SPICE of life. The dates are cool. I'm particularly fond of the Mayo dates. But Mimi is a sexy bitch.... and I mean both sexy and bitch.... LOL! The dialog is fun for me. I'll be watching this one and hopefully future updates will allow me to compliment more things.

Review for 1.3

No scene replay feature and some scenes are unrepeatable also you can't save during a scene furthermore scenes are not easily re-triggered.

NTR is affordable like it should always be but I would rather an option just to turn it off though.

No sleep sex and no pretend sleep sex - pretend sleep sex being both parties are awake and one is pretending to be asleep so I don't know why that tag is there.

There is far too much grinding and repetition highly recommend using the cheat Mod to reduce it.

Sex scenes are ok the renders are good though just need more of them and the story is ok same with the writing.

[Rev v1.0.6]
My new go-to definition of the 'good' ranking for a porn game. A competent mishmash of aspects that nod to / rip off bits of several other games, nothing shockingly new but nothing done bad enough to warrant an immediate close&delete.

Art's 'good' in that it mostly mitigates the uncanny valley. Proportions are... um... realistic... if not to my preferences.

Writing is passable. Reads like a 'good' translation from another native language. Moment-to-moment narrative is alright, if a bit contrived. MC veers a bit into hapless dipshit territory on occasion.

No porn acts squicked me; the obligatory old pervy man is not what I'm here for and those... realistic... aspects... Boobs. I like curves and boobs. Those are a bit less prevalent here than in other art styles.

TLDR: it's 'good' if a tad uninspired. Should be the benchmark of what creators aim for before asking for Patreon pledges.

Fantastic game! Realistic body proportions with lots of characters each with their own personalities. Plenty of sub-plots and avenues to discover and unlock. Great artwork, plenty of content already, and more characters I hope to "get to know better" with future chapters.

The game is very good. Above all, the diversity of the choices and the large number of characters encountered.
The game is extensive and very extensive.
The story can be developed in many ways.
Graphics impressed me. The figures are well made, pleasing to the eye.
The game is very pleasant.
As for me, the game deserves a full five-star rating.

I thas a good number of characters, it's not a VN so you can choose which paths to go for first (with some requirements of course.
I also like the models a lot and the story progresses relatively well (especially compared to other games).

Great to see someone who has actually changed there game to match Patreon rules regarding incest. Graphic are great and the scenes are really cool, yeah would be better if they was animated, but they good enough. Think this is my new fave adult game, certainly in top 5. great job in providing an enjoyable game that has many different characters to interact with.
