Did play
broken promises
This one might be another story first candidate.
Story's about the MC who's a cop who "retires" in order to go undercover to go against some drug dealer organization. Sounds kinda cringe at first, especially when later on it gets revealed that his undercover work takes place at some university/college (don't remember)..
It's funny because of what Hildegardt wrote about AVN's introducing some story only to then to take like a 10 chapter break right away, just doing LI rounds.. Broken promises does the opposite, to some extent at least. Like, when he shows up at school the game just starts developing characters and introducing side stories. And it kinda never stops doing that to be honest. Even some of the male side characters do get some more background added to them which I wasn't expecting to be honest. Same goes for the LI's who're all intertwined either with the story or with each other in some way.
The first LI that you can pursue is also an intersting choice. She has a kid and the MC does interact with her in a couple of scenes which kinda puts you on the spot if you do decide to go that route. I just thought that her placement within the story is interestingly chosen when you look at the whole thing and the pacing of it all.
As for the other female choices, first of all, this is a slow burn game. There's no real instant attraction between the LI's and the MC in which the MC becomes their center of the universe right from the get go. Or at least to a way lesser extent than we're used to... Also the MC is different from the usual, imo. He doesn't exactly goes back to school to score some "college chick".
On the flipside you might argue that he isn't a great undercover cop either . But that's by design, knowing all the other characters involvement. It's not like a crime, "noir" undercover story, it's this weird "bit of everything/AVN thingy" that tries to put in many different things all at once. For me personally it worked out great so far, but your mileage may vary here...
Great renders, great music, great animations, great.....
