It shows promise, but it still has a lot of bugs, it's grindy as hell -- which is to say there are numerous repetitive clicks without meaningful purpose or progression to those clicks, the player feedback is rather awful. The player has no idea they're progressing towards a milestone, or whether certain actions have any value at all. Additionally, a lot of the clicks are simply frustrating.
For example, let's say the player acquires an exercise outfit from the mall as well as some swimwear. They're told they need to go to the park that afternoon to play football with Jayden (this is a nice UI touch btw), but it's only noon so the player decides to go home and try out the pool. They go to the pool but oops, they need to put on their swimsuit first. So the player has to exit the pool, go up to their room, change into the swimsuit (hopefully, because there's no feedback that they successfully changed clothing). Then they can go back to the pool and finally try it out.
Oh but wait, now it's afternoon so the player remembers they need to go meet Jayden at the park for football. They try to leave but can't because they're wearing a swimsuit and must actively change clothing by going back up to their room again. So they throw on their casual outfit so they can leave the house and head off to meet Jayden. But then they discover that they can't play football because they're not in their exercise attire. So they have to go home again, go to their room again, go into their wardrobe again, select the exercise attire (which again, hopefully worked), and then go all the way back to the park for the scene with Jayden.
You do this same kind of BS over and over and over again. There are some quest tips, but they're honestly not great and buggy e.g. kept telling the player to go meet up with Tino downtown at night but despite the badge saying 'go here' the bouncer kept turning the player away with vague comment about 'not being confident enough' but absolutely no clue how to be confident enough to meet up with Tino again. And, further exacerbating these glaring grindy, ambiguous mechanics, they're time-gated. The player will get a scene and be told to come back in a week -- a week of repetition and nothing happening until the next event. In other words, clicking purely to waste player time.
Fitness doesn't really seem to matter all that much. Beauty doesn't really seem to matter all that much. There's a restaurant which after something like 50 work events abruptly and out of the blue has a scene with the boss, and then a 2nd event after another seemingly arbitrary number of work events. The football stats matter, sort of, insofar as that seems to be its own isolated set of mini-games and plot that has no impact whatsoever on the main plot (such as it is).
And the reward for spending hours and hours and hours upon this mindless, obfuscated, poorly translated clickfest? Oh hey, join the Patreon for this content to continue, which is a lie, because looking at the Patreon updates several of those storylines definitely have not yet been updated.
It's a pity because there are waaaaaay too few gay games on this site (and make no mistake, this is a gay game). This could be a good game, but the dev is wasting your time with hours of clicking only to push you to their Patreon for the false promise of more story. It's as mercenary and manipulative as LFL ASS -- which I get, people gotta make a living -- but at least LFL ASS provides something of substance without wasting your time with so many stupid clicks.
