Review for Star College (v. 0.1.0)
When I downloaded Star College, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect — but after finishing my first playthrough, I have to say I really enjoyed it.
The writing stands out immediately. The script is well done, mixing humor and serious moments in a way that feels natural. The comedy hits when it should, but the story also knows when to pull back and deliver a more grounded tone. It’s a balance that many VNs miss, but this one gets right.
The renders are excellent — crisp, detailed, and most importantly, fresh. It’s refreshing to see new character models and environments instead of the same recycled assets that pop up in so many other games. The attention to visual presentation gives Star College a distinct identity.
The music and sound design are also solid. They fit the mood and enhance the experience. My only small criticism is that the NSFW sounds share the same channel as the music. I’d really appreciate if those could be separated — ideally, by moving them to the general “Sounds” channel or by adding a dedicated slider if possible. It’s a minor issue, but it would make a noticeable difference.
Now, about the AI-animated scenes: overall, they’re quite well implemented. They appear in appropriate moments — during action, fighting, or “intimate” scenes — and generally enhance the immersion. The only time I’d prefer not to see them is during normal dialogue sequences. In those moments, they can become a bit of a distraction. Keeping animations for key action or romantic scenes would help them stand out more.
As for F95 tags, there are a few missing or worth noting:
All in all, Star College is off to a strong start. It’s funny, engaging, and visually impressive, with a promising story that’s clearly being built with care. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars — a very solid beginning, and I can’t wait to see where the story goes next.
