It's a solid game that makes a very conscious point of not taking itself seriously.
Everything is bombastic, the characters are over the top and the situations just don't make sense. But the game plays out with not a care in the world. If the game doesn't take itself seriously, why should you treat it any different? It plays like a story in the vein of Porkey's and Animal House. The tongue is in cheek firmly so just enjoy it.
Visually it's a lovely game where everyone is slightly exaggerated just in case you were under any illusions about the type of game it is.
In terms of downsides, there's a few but really nothing worth getting knickers in a twist over. The looping nature of the game is such that there's a LOT of repetition. That's fine early doors but once you've done the same scene about 15 times....... you slap that skip text button so hard.... it's also a HORRID game to play without a walkthrough. The looping leads to a ton of permutations. I can't even begin to think what it would be like to play without one. A WT should be a crutch, it should never be mandatory.
Also I get there's an in game explanation as to why, but really the way the game plays out I'm left wondering whether the MC actually needs the help to get a date to prom. Even without Alexa's guiding hand he's actually doing not bad for himself.
All in all excellent but it feels like the type of game you'll play then just forget about for a few years till there's a ton of updates then you can power through it all again once you've forgotten bits.
